Are you annoyed/irritated by k-pop?

It's better than American pop. Of course, I grew up with that crap.

Limiting to only the J- K- genres, I'd primarily been exposed to J-Rock; despite this, I never caught onto the J-Rock vs. K-Pop fiasco. I just listen to what I like, and what I like is a generous amount of J-Rock, with K-Pop dotted along the way.

There is one J-Pop song I've tried, and it is Tick Tack by U-KISS. Some main distinctions of this song from K-Pop are the accents and the fact that I can pick out some Japanese words and phrases. However, both forms of Pop seem to be missing a certain aspect I've grown adjusted to hearing in J-Rock: Engrish. Listening to an artist move from perfect Japanese to perfect English just rings strangely to me, and at times I don't register the language change right away.
My ear is more trained to interpret changes from Japanese to heavily accented English when it comes to these things.

Currently, it's been over two years since I began actively listening to these types of music. I don't keep up with bands as fervently as before, nor do I feel so passionate towards specific bands or artists. Despite everything, J-Rock still has a reserved space in my mind - I continue searching for quality songs, but at my own controlled pace now.

To answer your question, I am certainly not irritated by K-Pop. It's nice to have every now and then, no matter how universal the sound may be.
Hope that helps! :)

I think that there are good as well as bad music groups / artists in every genre. I love K-Pop. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. It's as simple as that.

Its better then azns trying to rap...honestly have you heard some of them rapping about their riced civics and their 2 inch c*cks

I don't hate it cause I don't listen to it.

I barely listen to it. I've heard allot about it from tumblr, there's a huge following on there. The only "k-pop" I've listened to were a few songs by Rain. Not too bad.

I don't listen to it a lot, the only time I really listen to K-pop or J-pop is when a friend posts a link or something.

Or if it's from an anime, "Ningyo Hime" from Chobits is beautiful :)

I think most of the older groups/solo singers had the most talent, while the newer ones try to live up to them and fail. <BR><BR>I used to be a massive Kpop fan, back when DBSK, BoA, The Grace, Rain, Se7en and the rest dominated the scene. Now, like you said, these newer singers have become clones of each other, and basically if you've listened to one boy/girl group, you've listened to them all. It's a shame, really, how the emphasis has changed from talent to image.

Lol I tought this was about kidz pop...idk what kprean pop is

Not a HUGE fan but there are some catchy, catchy songs. I remember first hearing "Hoot" by SNSD and "Lucifer" by Shinee and I couldn't get them out of my head for absolutely daaaaysss

All I gotta say is
FUCKY ALL YOU AMERICAN HIPSTERS

Cause in korea their just Pop fans

You should listen to TVXQ (the original 5 member group)
I love songs like 'love in the ice', doushite, mirotic, wrong number etc

Girls' Generation are both awesome and loveable.

I hate it so damn much and since my gf broke up with me just to go for a Korean guy, I really want K-pop to disappear, thx.

Brit pop.

K-pop? Am I right in guessing "kiddie-pop"? (i feel old now :-P) kids singing mature lyrics, yeah its stupid. As for the music, I never liked pop to begin with.
