#the issue here is not where its called kpop or pop#call it whatever you want yall will still make the same shitty corny ass songs groups have nowadays #and will keep focusing on debuting influencers instead of performers #the issue isn't whether its called kpop or not #the issue is now companies are thirsty for virality so they sacrifice quality songs in the name of hopefully viral and catchy tiktok songs #AND its all ur fault!!!! you ruined it!!! @ bang pd

every word of this article about hybe that crossed my internet scrolling today

#oop #oooooooop #there it isssssssss #finally someone fukin says itttttt #i mean I like Butter but I'm not gonna sit here and defend it from the people who hate it and the lyrics are trash #it's just been a hard death spiral ever since 2021 or thereabouts #like there is almost NO good music coming out nowadays in Kpop #sure you might get the occasional catchy hit but most of those are from artists who have been in the industry for 4+ years #if they happen at all #from nugu groups? almost NEVER #the unique sound that initially drew me to Kpop is almost completely totally gone #in favor of this bland corporate homogenization designed to appeal to the lowest common global denominator #and like yeah Kpop was always corporate to some extent i'm not gonna stand here and pretend it wasn't #but they still took RISKS #they INNOVATED #you would never find a song like B.A.P's Warrior or VIXX's Fantasy or BTS' Blood Sweat and Tears coming out of the west #just wouldn't happen #and now nearly all Kpop is interchangeable from western pop music and I'm Tired #kpop #kpop nonsense
