Comment on Anon talks trash about S. Korea
feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 5 months agoMany people consider K-pop to be extremely shit.
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.
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.
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).
There’s good Korean punk, rock, and metal as well. Nuclear Idiots, Harry Big Button, Dead Chant, Method, Duoxini, BADLAMB.

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

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.

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.
