K-pop is dying and we still got these m-f-ers hyping up pre-order numbers of these half-ass solo projects like it's something to behold and be proud of.

What's "local"? Do you live in fuckin' Mongolia?
K-pop is an artistic and financial hole in the States. Believe me, it's not something to be invested in, financially or as an artform.

This is reminding me of a late night show skit that mentioned poll numbers, except this is about pre-order numbers; "Did you see my poll numbers?" I still "ping pong" the thought in the back of my head if K-Pop has enough cool artists and groups with consistently good enough music to really be taken seriously from a casual non K-Pop listener viewpoint. I know "bean-counter suits" are interested in whatever does numbers, they don't care about art.

I wonder the same about local music. Doja and Olivia are literally it when it comes to locals making consistently good enough music to be taken seriously.
I'll sideeye anyone that thinks the autotuned, mumbled, high hat and synth percussion drivel that we get bombarded with day after day in the States is any better than Kpop.
At least Kpop still has a modicum of musicality in it. Real chords, chord progressions, real lyrical rap not the mumble crap, and fantastic synchronized choreography.

To be fair kpop can't be dying when it never really started outside of asia. It's still niche and only a few groups are relevant...

That's why I explore and diversify. I don't listen to a lot of US Pop either, but I like to be somewhat aware. Most of what is pushed isn't remarkable. Lizzo's work is inspired and interesting although she doesn't push out volumes of work.
Then there are other artists who may or may not even be on a major label, Pop or otherwise, who are gatekeeped out of getting on any traditional or even sat. radio. There are singer-songwriters and other artists who do Pop music but aren't as mainstream and pushed who have catalog quality stuff.
I think if a good number of SK-groups and soloist can reach a certain level of music making sensibility, that's more music to be championed and possibly pull new listeners because the majority of what is pushed nationally in the West isn't as interesting.
