They may be fictional characters, but they are voiced by real people, the court says.

K-pop is just as bad as most countries' soulless corporate pop music, including from the US.

    Music not made by artists doing what they want, but a corporation deciding what is needed to check the boxes listed by market studies.

    If anything, it is more soulless than even AI music. Although some people are into it.

    I say you like what you like. So long as it don't hurt no one, I'm okay with it.

    Fun pop song made by a team of songwriters? Cool.

    Solo singer-songwriter writing from their heart and hatred for women & LGBT? GTFO

    If it is fun, it is fun. If I like it, I like. Don't care for details. So long as it's not hurtful or offensive, I don't GAFOS

    Uninspired design by committee garbage performed by a group assembled by record label executives. If a song has more than 3 songwriting credits it is guaranteed trash.

    Well, let us hope none of The Beatles' songs have been written by all members, then. Same goes for any band with more than three members. Cuz apparently many songwriters s bad. Only solo artists. In fact, to be safe, we should just ban group acts. Solo artists only. Anything else is corporate garbage. The best stuff is done by one person alone, not a group of people. Or so says this one person on the internet

    There are four Beatles songs with more than 3 songwriter credits and they're all pretty forgettable. All but Flying are either from their early pop days or from Let it Be when they stopped giving a shit right before they broke up the band:

    Dig It

    Flying

    Please Mr. Postman

    Thanks for helping to demonstrate my point.
