[Discussion] Why is kpop suddenly becoming popular in US?

[jimbobbity]

You didn't get the "gist" of the issue, did you?

They're all wannabes and NOT GOOD ENOUGH. This is why people go to those kind of extremes, cause they feel as though they aren't good enough, as themselves.

Women dressing up like baby dolls, something they'll never be, speaking in those elementary pitch tones. And men...well, you know...something they'll never be.

Wannabes...lmao.

Anyways, these kids have no proper guidance anyways...they're surface DWELLERS.Don't know what's really behind anything.Just take shit, appropriate it, and RUN with it.

I never agree with what you say, but oh boy, are your posts a hoot to read.

(Also before you call me a faker or something i dont like KPop either, i just dont agree with you).

All of them that have lived long enough. I brought up rap because it's what I'm most familiar with and I know multiple rappers that have died in my town or over the next city 100% over beef with another one. From what you said, I assumed you wanted Kpop stars' facades to become their realities or for them to drop it altogether if not.

I never said I wanted ANYTHING for them or FROM them.

I thought we were discussing mainstream rappers in the "actual" industry. Not those self-entitled underground neighborhood rappers that no one else knows about. Those are called "losers", and they also aren't good enough.

That's that common case of being clinically in denial, I always talk about. And like the others, I'm sure you know of it.

You just don't want to agree with me. That's what biased, is.

I think it was thanks to the song gangnam style that helped people in America to be more open to finding Korea related music such as K-pop. Which is why Kpop is slowly becoming popular in the US. Plus you got all this talk in the news about South and North Korea ,that people hearing about it would like to know more about the people’s culture and the type of music they listen too.

So eventually people were going to start liking South Korea music,even if they don’t understand it. Much like how people from other countries like English songs or some people in America got into listening to Spanish,Greek or German songs even though they don’t understand the language.

I don’t like Kpop as well l but those that do find some of the music energetic and fun to watch. Something that American pop was lacking for them and some will say is now uninspiring.

KPop is an international thing unless you want to exclude US from being international. It's like people liking Despacito without really understanding its lyrics. Music is intended to transcend language after all.

Cuz everything that sucks becomes popular in the US.

Just kidding. Kris Wu is aight tho.

Kris Wu isn't KPop. Just saying.

He might be right I've been hearing more about k pop groups in mainstream news so they've got to be getting worldwide notoriety

with you on that. Everything that sucks really does big up in US. Kris wu is chick I know. Any other artists you like?
OT: music is simply about the feels you don't need to understand what's written or saying. That's silly metality totally childish asf. "I don't listen to something i can't understand" what a silly reason. Kpop songs in general surely are trash but a selectively few ones indeed make us convinced why they're trending across the globe. Bts has some speckable views on youtube mostly because of feminine good looking men dancing elegantly structured choreos instead of the feel/sounds of the song itself.

I know right. Silly reason indeed.

I ask myself the same question, When they came on post in Korea and started signing and taking pictures I just knew nobody knew who they were lol but it was still pack. I just walked away.

Why does japanese anime get shown in the usa simply because there are people who simply like it or they like the people performing
