You know those critics aren't immune to whatever PR ppl tell them to write, right?
In case you need PR BS translator, I'm here.
Wish you've had done a little research first but okay.
1 - K-pop is pretty open about their manufactured product, not trying to be what they are not. Which is so refreshing for me.
2 - In case you didn't notice, their practice is pretty much just like how it goes in the '60s (grooming talents, Brill Building system)
3 - They are damn good at what they are doing.
4 - I admire their work ethic.
5 - If you actually pay attention, tons of those K-pop idols are actually highly skilled musicians.
6 - When they are actually involved in their music, they don't brag about it like most of Western acts do. They are taking it as learning process.
7 - BONUS: I've always loved well done pop. And they sell me just that. Plus, imo, Western producers actually try to experiment more with their sound in Asia these days (i.e: Teddy Riley). And K-pop is more than just boy/girl-groups, you know.

Of course taylor is all day saying how she works so hard and how she is completely different to others
Those are things that you just believed, I do think that she is different, but not that much and i don't think that she is trying to be what she is not, if you really believed that she is really different and unique that's your fault
And about K-pop, the thing is that being open about being manufactured doens't make their songs better than others. I'm not saying that they are not good, most of them are and they work really hard to be where they are. But they are pure manufacturation, and they even say it, the 99% of them are not involved in their music AT ALL, and their music almost usually lacks quality (there are exceptions of course) It's not well done pop, or it is, it depends on your opinion, but its not really different for MM productions.
