I love some random foreign artists that I don't speak the language of and can't understand at all - Saian Supa Cru, Dengue Fever, Kent, Sigur Ros, Vicentico.

On a side note, I saw BTS on UK TV once and thought it was some kind of comedy pastiche act. What I heard and saw was really terrible, yet the panel on the show were lauding them when it was over, and I just didn't understand. K-pop is likely not for me, I figure.

K-Pop is for eight-year-olds. It absolutely seems like a joke the first time you see it.

K and J pop is absolutely grating to my ears, but they're billion dollar industries for a reason. They took the west's version of boy and girl bands from 30 years ago and turned it up to 11.

They certainly did.

I'm not a fan either, though in terms of musicianship and songwriting quality most of it is far above contemporary american pop. I completely understand why kids would prefer that to the endless "three chords and autotune without a hook" slop.

Yes, that's probably true. I assume somebody is still making good music, but it doesn't seem to be reaching me.

k-pop can still be bad even when it's better then american slop
