I prefer J-pop but K-pop isn't all that bad.

The problem I have with k-pop is that it sounds the same and it way to overtuned and in addition to that the rabid k-pop fandom factions, especially the ones that have Anti-Japanese sentiment
Yeah anti Japanese would bother me as well if I caught it as I'm an anime and Jpop/Jrock fan as well. If Kpop artists wanted to encourage me as a fan they would develop positive rather than negative relationships with their Jpop counterparts.
As for Kpop all sounding alike how is that different than say American pop?

I never got on the K-Pop train, but I do genuinely like a few vibey tracks by Neon Bunny, K-Soul artist.
But I love when native languages are mixed with English, especially in metal, as in the case of this tremendous anthem to the joys of food
Il Rovescio Della Medaglia - Contaminazione. Italian lyrics, based on the life of Bach and is a rock album that incorporates his “Well Tempered Clavier” pieces as well.
I've got a pet peeve of spotting French ads using English language songs that they would never think of using if most people listened to and/or understood the lyrics.
Some examples :
A car manufacturer using the same song for decades, Johnny and Mary. Hard to tell who the song is really about, but it's clearly about a broken, quite unhappy and mentally unstable couple.
A big mart chain using Prayer in C in its happy, "let's be optimistic" clips.
And see the children are starving / And their houses were destroyed / Don't think they could forgive you
Hey, when seas will cover lands / And when men will be no more / Don't think you can forgive you
A perfume ad with Sia's Chandelier blaring out. Yeah, suicide by booze, definitely what I want to feel classy.
