My K-pop Predictions For 2021

 Hey Subbies,

I always wanted to do a predictions list for Kpop and inspired by Mera's music video essays she's more of an 80's Alternative indie listener than me. Catch this reference: "While everyone is looking forward first we have to look back"... at the 2000s a.k.a Y2Ks. 

I want to also focus on groups this year. Sorry everyone but Spanish / Latin songs is going to be coming in strong because from what I remember we called a segment of the early 2000s "Latin Invasion" back then the west coast was slow to follow back then. I had to wait for years to hear anything coming from the east coast unless it was the so-called JLO.  Anyway, I reference a lot of popular songs but most of the songs I picked I wanted the instrumental to be the main reference not so much the lyrics unless stated otherwise. I might update this later with links, but I am drained so enjoy.

PSA, I want League Of Legends to have a 'Feel Good inc.' type song
