Do you know more about your own country's pop music industry or more about the kpop industry?

I honestly feel like i know fuck all about US/Western music. I am more likely to find out about western music through idol covers of the song lol. To be fair, i'm not into pop music in general.

The other day i was at an event and i heard the song below come over the speakers and i recognized it. At first i thought they were playing kpop there, but then i heard the voices and remembered DC covered it, but i never even heard the real version.

I know more kpop than Australian music
Australian music struggle to hit big in the states. I can only name 2 or 3 current artists that are kinda big outside Australia and that's about it.
Sia
Keith Urban

and yeah now that i'm a kpoper i know about it almost 100% more than my own country's pop, well maybe more than entire pop music.

I barely knew anything about Polish music scence years before I've even heard of kpop

I never cared or focused on my countries music industry anyway, not that I don't like the songs but I'm not that interested.

So I know more about Kpop industry obviously. I kinda dropped Western music.

I'd say I know more about K-pop but recently I've been getting more into music from my country while my interest in K-pop is dwindling

Years and years ago, it would have easily been my own country's pop music industry, but nowadays, I think I know more about the K-Pop industry. Don't really keep up with newer Western songs.

Also, I'll let this one slide, but don't start abusing the thread tagging system, @hatfelt! That should really be used for organizational purposes...

She is but she hasn't been active in the music industry for a while iirc

She is but she hasn't been active in the music industry for a while iirc

"Disco was released on 6 November 2020, reaching number one in her native Australia and in the UK, where Minogue became the first female solo artist to achieve a number one album in five consecutive decades from the 1980s to the 2020s."

I don't know if you're considering 2020 to be a while ago or not, but regardless, I just wanted to give her a shout-out!
