in '00 for my mission I was blown away by the quality of the singing of the typical techno k-pop chick (or even dude). They honestly have pipes.
Then I'd hear Brittany Spears outside of a few shops and I would think, "Seriously? This is all America has to offer musically?"
I'm still not sold on the 90s being the best decade, especially when I even prefer Korean techno too it!
