Everybody's going on about how K-Pop is amazing and not manufactured and all that, but I don't really get the hype. It just sounds like Western pop music, but in Korean. And not the good Western pop music either, but the most generic sounding tunes you could possibly make. This is just my opinion though.
I will admit that I do like BIGBANG, but only a couple of their songs really, but I've tried listening to BTS and all that, and I tried to like it, but it just wasn't for me. I actually also went to a K-Pop convention out of curiosity and while I did have fun, I wasn't really sure about the music. The only thing I thought was cool about this genre of music was that some of them sing in other languages like Japanese and Chinese.
But how on Earth is this stuff not manufactured? These talent agencies train them up from a very young age to be big stars and then put them into bands and write songs for them. Or at least that's what I heard. It even sounds like it's more artificial than the stuff they make over here. I don;t know. Maybe I'm wrong. They must be doing something right if they've managed to gain millions of fans across the globe.
