I'm all for widening my music tastes (having done a degree in music has broadened my horizons a lot) but it's really beyond me why so many foreigners love Kpop and why the SC2 scene has created this bandwagon that every man and his dog is jumping on. Honestly, how can THAT many foreigners like Kpop? It's worse than the worst of American Pop : /
On another slightly related note, I'm genuinely interested why there is no interest in the Korean film scene despite SC2 having popularised Korean music so much.
No music is superior to another. And you can't say you are "right" about what music is better or worse than another just cause you've done a music degree (I'm currently doing bachelor of music jazz degree too). Hiphop, jazz, pop, rock, classical, or whatever else music I don't know the genre of, has its own strengths and interesting factors. For example, Hiphop music makes use of no more than 4 chord progressions and repeats that for the whole song. But the lyrics they speak through their recording is sometimes more than enough to move our feelings. You cannot judge music. "I'm doing(I've done) a music degree therefore I know more about music than others and this music is worse than this!" is the worst thing you can ever say as a musician and its an immature thing to say as a musician too. I'll say "true musician" but more like "mature" musicians respect other genres of music and they understand that music depends on personal taste. You can say that you don't like certain music, but don't say as if its a fact that one music is worse than another. Because that is not true.
