K-Pop is for eight-year-olds. It absolutely seems like a joke the first time you see it.

K and J pop is absolutely grating to my ears, but they're billion dollar industries for a reason. They took the west's version of boy and girl bands from 30 years ago and turned it up to 11.

They certainly did.

I'm not a fan either, though in terms of musicianship and songwriting quality most of it is far above contemporary american pop. I completely understand why kids would prefer that to the endless "three chords and autotune without a hook" slop.

Yes, that's probably true. I assume somebody is still making good music, but it doesn't seem to be reaching me.

k-pop can still be bad even when it's better then american slop
