K-Pop is also as far as the industry itself is concerned, the #1 most cruel industry in the world to the people in it. Everything awful about the idol, music and modeling industry compounded by a hundredfold.
K-Pop as a genre unfortunately is rotten to it’s core. Other music industries are also known to be bad but they’re arguably the worst.
My first exposure to it was in 1994. Crazy thing is that today’s k-pop is virtually indistinguishable from that of thirty years ago for me. The music, clothes, hair, and choreography are all exactly the same.
I’m sure some k-popophile will come put me in my place, but I stand by what I perceive.
Don’t like K-Pop, but Korean hip hop is enjoyable.
That said, it’s kind of funny seeing Koreans acting all gangsta, when AFAIK gangs were never really a problem in that country. But to be fair, they’re not really a thing in America anymore, either (at least not compared to how things were before the mid-90s).

Many people consider K-pop to be extremely shit.

And since music taste is subjective, every thought about K-pop is the correct one.

K and j pop are definitely among the worst. Tbh the girl pop industry in general. Look at what they did to my girl Britney.

K pop isn’t my cup of tea. But it’s not shit. Like I’m not a huge fan, but I can see how people would like it.

There’s good Korean punk, rock, and metal as well. Nuclear Idiots, Harry Big Button, Dead Chant, Method, Duoxini, BADLAMB.
