Would you say kpop is the most dominant music genre in your country?

here in the u.s is quite known but not respected

Quote from Chaesoocrumbs

I feel like it’s the same in a lot of coutries

yeah pretty much everyone by now knows kpop its just that they don't like it or they just don't respected

Not at all, in fact here in my country I would say it's a massive niche and still considered quite small and alternative.

Not really. We’ve had a few groups come here and we’ve had a couple of K Pop festivals, but for some reason it’s never really kicked off in Australia unless it’s someone big like Psy or BTS. There’s just not the market for it here unfortunately.

Nope, not at all 😄.

Not at all

Tbf I have no idea what the most 'dominant' music genre is in my country. Rap, maybe ?

If you exclude all domestic and English songs, yes.

If not, no, not even close.

No, I am surprised if people can mention someone outside of PSY

Lol definitely not and in an English speaking country I doubt it will ever be anything more than music for Asian groceries/restaurant.

But HYLT was played on Aus Open broadcast the other day, so that's an improvement

kpop isnt known in poland at all, some tv hosts made racist jokes about bts last year lmao. i mean, there are lots of kpop fans but overall people dont talk about it, it isnt played on the radio etc. also i wouldnt treat kpop as a 'music genre' but i know what you mean

Niche

No, Bollywood still dominates here

Absolutely not

Here in Brazil there's all the brazilian genres dominating first (forró, sertanejo, funk, samba, pagode, MPB etc) only then western pop, then western rock, then all other types of western music. I dare to say even jpop/jrock might be more popular than kpop here because the japanese culture influence is much and far bigger than korean's (Brazil is only second to Japan when it comes to biggest amount of japanese population).

Nope and it will never be.

Absolutely not, it's only popular among teenage girls and even so, the only relevant groups for them are usually bts and bp only.

In the U.S kpop is known but is fun of

Another fellow brazilian lmao, I started to noticed it when you recommended Anitta on some other post.

But yeah, I can't agree more, specially when jmusic is taken in consideration. I think that kpop will eventually get mainstream here, a dream? Yes, but we can't just take it as a defeat, we will endure, and maybe someday kids will make fun of one another, saying "lol your mom like WG instead of SNSD".
