K-Pop (Kapulakan:ᨀᨙᨄᨚᨄ Steiner-Richthofen: kepop`), short for kapulakan popular music is a form popular music originating from Kapulaka. While Kapulka already developed a thriving pop and rock scene since the late 1960s the term K-pop usually only applies to the popular music scene which developed in the late 80s and early 90s. While originally mostly drawing from weranian pop and rock k-pop massively diversified and nowadays draws inspiration from a lot of differetn kinds of music from all over the world. Seeing a steady growth since the mid 90s K-Pop reached a global audience for the first time in 2007 with the singer Sapariah. Following her success throughout coius the Kapulakan government decided to support this music industry in developmet through the passing of several laws providing musicians with extra funding for their projects. This was done both out of an desire to use it to grow kapulakan prestige in the world but also to keep younger kapulakans in the country by providing new job opportunities. Throughout the 2010s K-pop grew even more popular worldwide with some artists like Nugraha or KND becoming interantional stars.

Characteristics
While originally being heavily influenced by weranian artists like Der Kommmissar and Else it started to incorporate elements of other musical traditions and styles pretty early on. Especially Hip-Hop and electronic dance music played an important role in its development during the 2000s. Another important influence on K-pop was the collaboration between kapulakan and blostlandic artists, especially blostlandic producers, who introduced more electronic elements to the genre and were fundamental in shaping the modern sound of K-pop.
