K-Pop trends that should end in 2020
Kpop twitter
All the whataboutism involved in excusing toxic and xenophobic comments regarding idols themselves on the basis that kpop twitter is annoying
Using fan behavior as an excuse to be openly hateful and dismissive about idols
Calling repetitive spoken lines or drops "noise." It's noise when it doesn't function as part of the melody or beat and that's not the case for most of the songs people make fun of for being just noise (zimzalabim, side effects, Me, etc.)
Boring EDM structures. I mean it works sometimes but it really doesn't have to be in every song (ESPECIALLY from boy groups).
I think boy groups especially have a problem where one one guy from whatever group has an outfit/hairstyle that becomes iconic they're ALL styled that way for the next few months. I'd like to see a lot more variety in styling.
Labels seeing that one group has done well with a certain niche and trying to copy. More specifically I see this with lots of groups releasing music to appeal internationally (and I don't mean just trying to replicate what's happened with BTS, but stuff like SuJu's corner on the South-American market for kpop). It's easy to see when groups are being pushed to become popular and it only hurts them to neglect k-fans on the low probability that they'll actually succeed in whatever country.
