Yu al just hating on BTS because honey they good singers. They wir be superstah and you just have to dear with that you know.

Never cared for k-pop.

but the songs are in Korean, the hook is in English and it seems all over the place.

Well it's K-Pop - one might assume it is in Korean.

Only one speaks English and he needs to translate every question for the rest to answer in Korean and then the guy translates that to English. I mean, you get restless just by listening to that.

I get restless listening to Xtine and her "you knows".

They look so manufactured.

Yeah, nothing like Xtine who was an indie star back in the day or Backstreet Boys that were an indie rock band formed in a garage in Seattle.

they look the same and that's not because they're Korean but because they've got the same haircut, style and clothes, At least with other boybands you'd have different personalities, but here they are all just backup for one guy who doesn't even sing well.

Yeah right.

Imagine defending and liking kpop. Can’t relate.

I don’t get enjoying music that you can’t understand. I can listen to some of Celine and Shakira’s mother tongue, but that’s cause it’s usually very emotive and in a language that I can vaguely comprehend. K-pop also has a tendency to feel overly manufactured and disposable.

So I guess you don't listen to instrumental music (which is music while lyrics are words), you need to have someone sing generic lyrics in English about sex over the music in order to enjoy it?

Read properly instead of looking for weak bitchy retorts.

I don't enjoy K pop either, but my problem is not the language itself(i think pretty much most people enjoyed Psy in his 15 minutes of fame), I like this song a lot, it's from Kill Bill's soundtrack. My problem with K-Pop is the music itself, it often doesn't pleases me tho if i looked around for K pop songs i likely could enjoy some songs here and there, but it just seems way too generic and one dimensional as a genre.

"K-Pop also has a tendency to feel overly manufactured and disposable"

That's exactly why i struggle to like them and why the hell does K Pop artists all look the same?

I gave you a legitimate reason why I don't specifically listen to k-pop. Stop trying to portray me as ignorant and close minded.

They look like manniquins and act like robots. Is this what boybands are now? All that autotune, plastic surgery, and bowlcut wigs aren’t cute.

I don’t even know why the BBMA’s are trying to make them happen.

When were boybands ever good (1970- and onwards that is)

Debatable but their was individuality. BTS look like clones of the same person, even their voices sound identical. Even when boybands were trash at least they had hot members to make up for it.

GFE is right though. The music industry has never cared for authenticity. If K-pop is allowed to thrive right now, it’s only because the industry allowed it for decades.

A lot of our favorite and most popular acts are manufactured af. Nothing about this industry is real...NOTHING. The GP only probably knows 10% of what goes on behind the scenes.

So K-POP acts are really no different. Theres is just most noticeable

Girl, I KNEW one of you would try this. There’s being manufactured, then there’s being so manufactured that you can’t tell one from the other. While Britney had a lot of clones back in the day (Xtina, Mandy, Jessica) they all at least had their own personalities/individualities.
