We need Q-Pop
It would be like K-Pop but in Quenya instead of Korean, and we would have elf boy bands. We need this.

We need Q-Pop

I may just be getting limited suggestions on Instagram but I see more qpop boy groups than girls in general. And project X is for a boy group. As someone in Kazakhstan, is there a reason boy groups might be more popular/lucrative or is it an accidental pattern?
Another quite ancient ask.
I would say, the girl bands can't get much traction because girls in Kazakhstan are often expected to get married in their early twenties, so probably not many producers are keen to take such a risk
Also, I've noticed that even if we drop the whole "marriage is a must" narrative, women in Kazakhstan are a lot more pragmatic when it comes to their career choices. So, very few girls would actually goof around doing music or anything of that sort instead of getting real jobs. And, well, having a career and then getting married/having kids, all preferably, before hitting 30, are still kind of a larger expectation for women
In that sense, men seem to be more adventurous, feeling a lot more confident in their artistic pursuits, because the clock "isn't ticking", bringing less sense of urgency overall
Although, I should add, men have their own obsessive ideas of becoming rich/famous/influential asap, so probably becoming a rapper can be viewed as a quick way to reach success
On the flip side, this mentality comes with a massive share of the male population having legitimate gambling addiction along with insurmountable debts, all because of the inherent sense of privilege, extremely fragile egos, and inability to be disciplined, consistent and build a reliable career
Honestly, I would say this society is largely being upheld by competent women, while men are hanging around, doing some random shit, expecting to be worshipped/hailed because of their mere existence
I'm grossly generalising, of course, but it is sadly true in the majority of cases
