#Kpop is the AI Slop of modern #music.

#KSlop.

@ErickaSimone I read the whole thread and all your replies. And I kept my mouth shut while I thought about it for a bit. But I have a question, because I want to understand.

When you said K-pop is ai slop, I came up with three possible meanings:

1. It’s as bad for music as ai slop is for culture

2. Over-corporate produced music has a thick AI formulaic sameness to it

3. The mechanisms by which the K-pop industry slices, dices, and regurgitates (mostly black) culture are similar to ai

@ErickaSimone it can be all three but I was wondering if one of those meanings was closer to your thoughts than others

I knew about the anti-blackness but I didn’t know about the suicides. Thanks for bringing that to my attention

@crazybutable so it’s all three, with a focus on #3. While still being violently anti black. Much like AI and most tech.

@ErickaSimone thank you.

I sat with it some more because I was still having trouble with the equivalence. But I think I figured it out.

(It’s too long and too late to get into it in tiny chunks on Mastodon! But thanks again.)
