I think its a pretty big misconception that J-Rock is "cuter" than American rock.
If I have to guess, it comes from the fact that this board is anime-based and most "rock songs" the ppls heard are anime related. Truth is, JRock can be as dark as American rock, but there is a distinguished difference between the two.
Jrock is more melodic and technical than Arock. Arock generally follows a very simple composition but a heavy influence from the "players". Or simpler terms, the "feel" of the music. Jrock on the other hand incorporates more technical and complex composition for their melodies, but in exchange for that the music is more predictable. I tend to think of rock as follow:
American Rock----British Rock----Asian Rock
Left side focus on less technicalities but more on feel, while right side borderlines on musical theory.
