i would not say that its 2010s american pop
id say that its a lot of 90s influences in song and group structure and kpop takes influences from literally anything even remotely popular.
kpop has caught on so big because it is the ultimate evolution in lowest common denominator pop
its not real artistic expression, it is a pure commodity and cultural export. You can see it by listening to kpop songs and seeing how all every song is in like all caps (easy to read) every group is like one word/acronym thats easy to remember, there is clear subdivision in group hierarchy with every member having an archetype like singer/dancer/rapper and some bands having members whose sole purpose is to speak in japanese or chinese for alternate language versions of their music.
its not music its a product
and its like a fucking sham wow imo cause that shit is lit af
