Vietnamese pop music. Even though it exists, for now it is pretty much nonexistent to the international world. Even most Vietnamese people are not too keen of VPop. Someday, it will hopefully have its heyday and be as successful and recognized as KPop and JPop. Until then, we Vietnamese will have to resort to listening to foreign pop music... because it's way better.

"My current life, although full of excitement, stress, and promising goals for the future, is just too conforming and normal. btw, I don't hate on my own race. It's just that VPop sucks, and it wouldn't make sense to be a Vietnamese KPop singer."
