I drove back to the Bay Area for a job interview this week and was at my friends house talking tunes last night. He introduced me to this whole world of Korean pop/rap where they are basically aping American Soundcloud rappers and pop trends over the past few years. This isn't your grandma's K-pop! This is slick as hell teenage pop bullshit with a hilarious array of cultural influences.

I'm building out a Spotify playlist of my new finds in this genre as I go along: https://open.spotify.com/user/1214670370/playlist/3sYR72G1lUzTMxPg1ZMjdI?si=KshX2GjwTluZr5v_bDyFPA
This is also not the same aesthetic, but seems to be algorithmically linked to this scene:
Post about Korean/East-Asian pop / youth music in this thread, or something.
