Shitting on teenage girls for liking things is a) super harmful b) punching down and c) sexist and reactionary.
K-Pop isn't significantly worse for the consumers or the artists than US Pop and anyone telling you it is is either coming from a place of sexism and xenophobia or has uncritically accepted talking points from people who are.
Shitting on K-Pop stans has the same energy as shitting on 14 year olds whose bedrooms are plastered with posters of Justin Beiber.
Both of you are making some sweeping assumptions about the K-pop fan base. That said, I agree it's normally not really different than people being obsessed with any other pop singers
I mean, regardless of the actual stats, I'd argue there's definitely a perception of K-Pop stans being teenage girls, but according to these demographics of what in December 2019 were the fanbases of the 8 most popular K-Pop groups, K-Pop stans are overwhelming female and disproportionately teenage.
Cringe.
