to me kpop is like rap music. i will dance to it at a dance or party (im not club age yet XD)
but it lacks any sentimental value for me and does nothing special or surrealish for me
and typically it sounds generic and the boy bands sound the same to my ears who have gotten over american boy bands after i turned 7 yrs old. they sing but to me they dont make music.

ive listenend to a few more popular songs from each band and frankly im not gonna be hearing kpop at dances (except the multicultral club full of koreans at my school that im in that used a little for the dance contest)
-i have really picky taste in music
soooo any suggestions?

I could help you, but what kind of music do you like? As in, what genre? Pop, urban, hip-hop, indie pop, indie rock, modern rock, alternative, bossa nova, electronica, acid jazz, lounge, acoustic, r&b?

Also, anything that is popular is usually "generic". Yes, there's a lot of catchy pop songs in Korea that are really popular but don't necessarily have deep lyrics. But there's so much more to discover. For example, SNSD's hits are mostly "generic". But they also have really powerful and beautiful ballads. Like almost all girl groups (After School, KARA, Secret, Wonder Girls...). But excluding groups like 2NE1 and 4minute that has only released dance songs so far. Most groups will promoted catchier and brighter song because they are usually bigger hits. But it doesn't mean they only sing dance songs.

SNSD's "Dear Mom" always makes me wanna cry.
