Display MoreAs a casual xg stan, this whole topic irks me. It’s like they are they are trying to disassociate themselves from kpop yet they are using the tools & platform that is based on kpop.
I get xpop meaning a normal pop group that isnt on kpop or jpop. Maybe just say pop group instead? But I just didn’t feel good abt how they keep emph they are influenced by hiphop or r&b (not wrong) mostly.
It seems like they want to omit the fact their concept is influenced by kpop as well.
What’s really hard to admit it? They are pissing koreans off for very good reasons.
It’s obv they are influenced by kpop - e.g. training system, choreography, using the popularised hip-hop and r&b into the music.
The last line kind of makes no sense on your rant.
why not call it A-pop (American pop) if they are using hip-hop and R&B, those music styles are American.
