PPOP is now boring, am going back to my old local alt-rock tapes.

Also, the frustrating thing about local pop music is one of a constant war between fans and what is called "evil" management.

    I just cannot get behind P-POP, sorry. KPOP I can sorta enjoy because of the varied influences and elements they incorporate into their songs sometimes (e.g. Supernova Love, Supershy, Catch Me if You Can), but P-POP is just the worst parts of KPOP dialed up to eleven.

    I tried listening to SB19, and could only stomach a few seconds. Tried G22, Xonara, and similar groups and the "uh huh, uh huh yeah" rapping that dominates the songs is insufferable. Bini is okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to play any of their songs.

    J-pop has a long and storied history which began with enka, but then K-pop borrows much of J-pop's aspects, styling, lyricism and business model which the Koreans then taken to severe lengths along with infusing their own aesthetics/image. Which is then the mostly aesthetic what much of so-called P-pop is now derived from K-pop, and that has become the selling point rather than the sophistication of the lyrics.
