Honestly, I think the whole “K-Pop concepts are too repetitive” discussion has more to do with how the industry works than with a lack of creativity. K-Pop has always moved in cycles, when one style becomes popular, many groups explore it because everyone is enjoying it at that moment. Trends usually show up in waves. There was a time when retro disco songs were everywhere, like Dynamite by BTS or Mago by Girlfriend, then a period when more powerful, girl crush concepts dominated the charts, like Blackpink’s songs. Now, with the rise of the 5th generation girl groups, we can already see certain directions becoming popular. Some are focusing on bright, energetic concepts with a youthful and playful energy, while others are going for a softer, dreamy style. The problem is that some fans tend to “claim” a concept as if it belonged exclusively to one group. When another group tries something similar, accusations of copying start to appear, even when the execution, music, and style are different. This often ignores the fact that trends naturally inspire multiple artists at the same time, and similar concepts can coexist without one being a copy of the other. That’s why I think “repetitive” doesn’t necessarily mean “boring” in K-Pop. Trends come and go, and what’s popular now might be replaced by something totally different in a year or two. Part of the fun is seeing how different groups put their own spin on an idea that’s already out there. submitted by /u/PuzzleheadedMovie950 [link] [comments]
