- Cultural appropriation discussions
I wonder why they always criticize K-Pop artists for “copying” hip-hop music, but never when it’s about other music genres, like RnB. None of them are native to Korea. They can’t just sing Trot all the time. Inspirations and influences has to come from somewhere.
