is it though?
I think it was big like 10 years ago....
but then again it appears the game is really late on the trends anyway
which is fine but also they should just stop trying to be hip when they not and give some real content
10 years ago?? No way. PSY. EXO. Blackpink. 2NE1.All of the touring (KCON and the like) Especially with BTS in America and going to other international countries. I started listening 10 years ago and it is SO much bigger.
well to say 2012 is when psy happened and its 2021 next year soo... the gap to 10 years aint really that big if thats when you consider it getting big
also kpop was really big in 2009 already with various yg, sm and jyp artists so I don't see it being "trendy new wave" anymore its more like continuing wave
seen and heard
gotten bored of
to me it just feels about as relevant as teenage emo phase which surely people listen to emo bands now but is it really the golden age nah it has passed
Ok but what about EXO or BTS? BTS especially is huge! Kpop is at its highest peak internationally right now. Before it was so niche now everyone and their grandma has heard of kpop or their siblings or kids listen to it. Its really not a phase it's popular Korean music? It will always be relevant in Korea and for kpop fans. Is American pop music just a phase too then? Besides there are plenty of genres within korean music kpop fans listen to as well - rap, rnb, alternative etc which some popular groups utilize from time to time. Maybe for you its no longer relevant but its definitely still huge in mainstream media.
Yea. I've never been a big music listener or music video watcher but rest assured I know kpop!! Lol TVXQ? and when my 9 year old niece talked about BTS I was like ? how does she even know?
They are definitely getting more popular.
It's a shame BOA never got too popular in America. I still consider her one of the best dancers/artits in the world. The new kpop girl groups cannot hold a candle to her
