coming from a retired kpop fan this is crazy to say when a lot of kpop is heavily inspired by western pop, whether its ass or not😭 not saying there’s not any unique features of the music or anything but come on now. kpop is definitely a lot more fun to be part of as a consumer tho!

Yess girl. It’s so entertaining. The fan service, dances, music, music videos, concerts, so amazing. They definitely deserve the hype! Gives me the most amazing boost of dopamine that american pop just can’t give me at the moment.

Well yes of course. Most of their methods they use derives from black gg/bg culture and our pop pre 2010s. Right now pop is not what it once was. It’s boring.

I’m glad I’m not alone. I’ve been entertained! I love Hyunjin from Stray kids. My fav currently active groups are NCT, Ateez, P1Harmony, and really all of them tbh

Just not how it used to be imo. I definitely miss having bands (5sos, Pretty much, Fifth harmony, little mix), the funny interviews and game shows, docu movies on concerts and tours. It’s just lacking in the POP part to me. Idk 🤷🏽♀️. I could be bias

No way you actually read what she said. I could’ve swore homegirl said “right now”. Yall be itching to disagree with someone in here. Nothing about her statement was crazy. Someone just made a comment about this exact thing yall do in here in black chat and they weren’t lying.
