you first sentence is confusing, I think Jpop can be just as factory made as Kpop but I think Kpop doesn't have much variety

I liked Kpop when it had a nice mix but now it is too many redudant idol groups and the soloist are MIA or singing Korean ballads, and I don't like Korean ballads

I think AKB has lots of depth
like Beginner, Kaze Fuiteru and lots of their stage songs have meaningful lyrics

but I admit most songs people get introduced with are very fluffy like Heavy Rotation and their summer singles

in general mainstream Jpop is still stale,but countries mainstream kinda are
