For me i’d say vocaloid when i was younger. No clue about now, maybe some russian songs like igorek.
This is a significant fraction of my music collection.
If I like a song, I make a deliberate effort to learn the lyrics and what they mean. People wrote those lyrics for a reason.

I’ve played a lot of Korean games since way back, and there are plenty of songs I like — even though I have no idea what they’re saying.

There’s a Mexican metal band Ladrones that I have the same issue with.
