Will kpop ever recapture its peak in the 1990s?

Kpop peaked in Korea in the 1990s. It was new and fresh and saw enormous success from boy groups, girl groups, and soloists.

It was a magical time to be a youth in 1990s Korea. The G-Generation are the original kpop fans and played a huge role in helping kpop blow up first in Korea and then later in Asia.

I think it's time kpop gives the middle finger to the West and returns to its roots with its main and only focus on Korea (and I guess Japan).

Maybe if they put the K back into Kpop the magic will return and I can jump back on board with this once great music genre.

Here's a little 1st gen magic for the uninitiated. You have no idea how iconic the 90s were.

Drew, memories of youth can be misleading.. you’re remembering thru rose tinted memories of your youthful and innocent self.. before you become the jaded and crusty Drew we all know now. I’m sure if current you are seeing those acts now, you’d blast them to hell

Lol why I gotta be crusty?

I'm actually 43. Born in 78. I'm same age as the members of H.O.T. and Teddy.
