The song did not sound like Kpop at all.

It does not sound so unopportunistic to me, it is just drawing from less top 40-ish trends, but it’s still trendy. First came across the song via Popjustice, damn it. Kpop seems to me more like a gimmick and then again, she seems to be having fun with it and just borrowing the general attitude, not the musical style perse. You go girl, I say, since it’s awesome.

And the rap is done like K-Pop artists do their rap breaks. In K-Pop many songs contain a rap break instead of a bridge, no matter what genre the song or artist doing it is. In Western pop you don’t see Rihanna, Beyonce, Britney, Katy Perry etc doing rap breaks instead of bridges.

And the eighties synth-pop genre reminds me of K-Pop too. In K-Pop they release a lot of songs that are in trend with whatever America and the world is doing (Psy’s LMFAO-inspired Gangnam Style is a good example) but they also release music that’s totally different, like 70s, 80s, 90s type songs, tango-pop, orchestral etc etc, and those songs still become huge hits in Korea. In America if you do a pop song that isn’t on trend, it won’t chart. A*M*E’s song isn’t your typical sound of the moment, so that makes me think of a K-Pop approach.

We know she likes Kpop but otherwise, wouldn’t have picked up on it at all. I think shes having fun with the visual and wait for fans if she makes it big to say the video has racist undertones (the slanted eyes kind). Still completely on repeat though.
