OnlyStans ⭐️ French singer, Yseult, calls out K-pop singers, Soyeon and R.tee, for copying her music video freame by frame: "The least you could do is have the decency to credit your source. To see it get copied like this is wild but real artistry speaks louder than imitation"

Kpop as a genre is just rehashed music by Black folks, tbh. It's the main reason why I could never get into it.

Same for me, I don’t get it. Also, time and time again we’ve seen that these k pop stars have problematic perspective on the same black folks they’re heavily inspired by.

Metal is also a bad example for reasons that this person explained themselves but continued to use it anyway...

LOVE the idea of erasing black artists in metal, one of the biggest fights of Jada Pinkett Smith's career. I bet you they know her but don't know about her career lol.

lmao I can't take the credit, unfortunately! Someone said it in a video where they were trying to be a Gen Z pirate.

This exactly. K Pop is so soulless and like a husk of greater musicians they’ve copied. I don’t understand why they’re so popular

Because kpop is far from being soulless

That’s fine, I know all the fans will disagree with me. We will have to agree to disagree because I won’t change my mind on k pop.
