I've been saying K-Pop and Hip Hop are purely manufactured. They hold no meaning and are extremely generic. You can push as much of it as possible because the masses will consume as much of the generic product given to them as possible. The performers aren't discovered by merit at all. Everything is crafted to get the same result. There is no choice in music these days. It's like they want you to turn off your brain and keep it off permanently.

The most successful indie band from Korea actually has spoken against the music industry and they made an album called "Conspiracy" to take a shot at the media and K-Pop industry.
