K-pop or Korean pop music refers to not only types of music but to a musical movement that swept South Korea in the early 1990s and continues to dominate. Much of the music is similar to what you’d hear on American pop radio stations, though more often sung or rapped in Korean. In fact, early versions of Korean pop leant heavily on certain American forms, like R & B, hip hop, and a little bit of rock and techno. Boy and girl bands, sometimes called bubblegum pop are very well received, but so are the contributions of older artists.

I dont' like K-Pop, it sounds very silly.

I think the younger crowd is more into K-pop.

I don't enjoy it either, pop music is good mostly because of the lyrics, if you can't understand them why bother listening?

Also, korean singers are men dressed as women most of the time... that's pretty gross.

K pop is okay. I like the way it sounds but it is kind of annoying when you can't understand what they're saying and have to look up the lyrics.
