Aespa and now NMIXX. Is ChaosPop (or maybe KaosPop) the first uniquely Kpop genre?

Naw. Even if I ignore the fact that this thing has been happening in Kpop and Western pop for many many years, that’s not how new genres work.
Pop music, because it is by its nature what’s popular is continually evolving and changing. It is influenced by other genres, but keeps chugging along at its own pace. Today’s pop music draws heavily from hip hop and EDM, but it remains still pop.
Is today’s pop song vastly different than a pop song in 1985? Yes. Different than 1975? Yes. 1965? 1955? But they all still remain pop.
I don’t think some beat drops and change ups are enough to call it a new genre anymore than when Bohemian Rhapsody did it or pick a half dozen Kanye songs.

But wasn't fantastic baby released before i got a boy?
If you go back far enough I assume it is influenced by electronic-dance music and DJs who literally combine different songs together.
All genres start as a mix of existing genres. The sound mutates as more artists experiment with it, eventually becoming different enough from the influences that it becomes a new genre.
Basically, I'm saying that O.O is a mutant that seems to be leading to a new genre, but it isn't quite there yet.
