#They don't electronic manic supersonic bionic energy like they used to

I say kpop started getting bad when Amber stopped saying "you know I got it" in every song but I think it also started getting bad when every group started using only "good" English (grammatically correct, no accent, makes sense in context, something a regular human would say)

In essence these are both the same thing because the real problem is a combination of kpop getting popular in general + therefore the companies not wanting to seem cringey and also the companies' growing awareness of the English speaking interest leading them to both fear mistakes and want to gear their groups and songs toward that market

But in doing so they have stripped away a lot of the appeal that we originally liked about kpop over our own mainstream music which is that it was weird and funky and different and fun. Who cares if the English wasn't perfect. Why would or should it be. The question should not be "does this lyric make sense" the question should be "does this lyric fuck supremely" and nine times out of ten the answer was yes
