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-Pop is also as far as the industry itself is concerned, the #1 most cruel music related 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.

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.

Fun story from back then: One of the big groups back then was Turbo. While spending many hours at the US Embassy getting my wife a spousal visa, she recognized Mikey from Turbo. We go over and say hi and end up spending the whole day with him. He spoke perfect English and pretty much lived in Los Angeles. He told us that a significant portion of Turbo concerts had some other guy wearing a surgical mask pretending to be him because he was busy studying in the US.

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.
