I tried listening to K-pop, but I couldn't stand it, so I'll stick to my dad rock and jazz(listening to Tarkus atm). Won't stop me from lurking these topics though.

To be honest Kpop is something of an acquired taste. There's also a lot of variety in it, so even if you don't like some of it there might still be some stuff you do. Then again if the pretty girls don't turn you on to it, probably nothing will.

So I'm on the Persona 5 subreddit and someone made a meme about BTS and Persona. Saw the comment section and holy shit it's kinda crazy the hate Kpop gets. Lots of people acting like all Kpop fans are the same and trying so hard to justify their hate and toxicity towards the genre.

Without trying to sound too corny/cringy, I really appreciate Kpop for what it does to me musically. I used to have a background in music, being in band from 4th to 12th grade, but I kinda gave up on it after high school. Kpop reminded me that music is a universal language and you don't necessarily need to know the actual spoken language to sometimes get the feel and mood of the actual music. And then in some certain songs, once you look up the actual lyrics, it hits a certain way that some Western stuff doesnt.

I'll prolly get slammed for this but whatevs lol

Cheers, exactly. If you'd told me when I was younger that I'd be listening mainly to flashy, sugary pop, and in Korean (or Japanese) at that, I woulda thought that's crazy but here we are.

Hah. Same. But it was cool finding out that Kpop is just a general blanket term for Korean music. Lots of hip hop, R&B, ballads and even rocky music in there.

Alright. So since I'm a casual of kpop, what would you guys say are the most "iconic" songs in Kpop history? Like I guess Twice's would be TT. And Idk if they're considered iconic but back in high school before I was interested in Kpop, Wedding Dress and G (or whatever that one song by SNSD) were a few I heard a lot about.

Twice's "iconic" song would be Cheer Up and maybe TT as well

Off the top of my head:
Gee by SNSD is definitely one, probably Tell Me Your Wish and Into the New World as well
Lies, Day by Day, and Fantastic Baby by Big Bang
Nobody, Tell Me, and So Hot by Wonder Girls
Abracadabra by Brown Eyed Girls
Love Scenario by iKon
Good Day, You and I, Through the Night by IU (really any title track by her)
Mirotic by DBSK/TVXQ
Mister by Kara
Sorry Sorry by Super Junior

Not necessarily "Kpop" but
Tears by So Chan Whee
Cherry Blossom Ending by Busker Busker
Wrongful Encounter by Kim Gun Mo
Galaxy by BOL4

There's probably a bunch from 1st gen groups but I'm not familiar with them

Not that big of a fan of this song but G-Idle looked really good this time around in the choreo and outfits department.

Makes sense, this is my fav song of theirs yet. Bold to push a little further off the trend they helped popularize (but still very much their own sound). If nothing else Cube has balls when it comes to their artistic choices, I like and respect that.

It took me a little thinking to really understand what I think you mean with that sentence, which can get really complicated if interpreted in other ways. But yeah, I'd say so. For sure. Although CLC have a nice double concept thing going on.

When this style gets too experimental I think it's a sign that the scales will start tipping back to the other, whatever you want to call it, domestic style. But no style goes away completely, right, and of course some groups only do one or mostly one their whole run. And Kpop has changed a lot in the last few years, it was just a few months back when this girl said to me, what was it she said "BTS has redefined Kpop" or something like that, and I was like okay. So who knows.

As for G-Idle I'd agree, yes.

They always wear them! Since they debuted like a year ago. ikr pretty crazy. I think they have plans to take them off later, maybe if/when they get more popular.

That was pretty catchy. The mask though, I dunno. It was kind of weird not being able to see them singing, but it's a cool aesthetic.

I'd say it was NCT 127's best album far. Boom was a cool one shaking up the vocal line a bit. Kick It lyrically is like the goofiest thing to make a song about, but every listen makes it more likeable.

Before this, Dream was seemingly becoming more solid. I think that cutesy loser image is being abandoned, and they're just becoming a more coherent group than the rest.

WayV also came up really well imo. They had that one performance at a Chinese(?) awards show and that looked better than most KPop stages in quite a bit.

Been into them, but tbh I feel their songs are just in it for short term appeal. Adios and Dun Dun were too similar (believe same producer? And lyrical theme is similar) with worse line distribution, but that move did pay off at least in terms of viewership.

Otherwise, it's the same reliance on a dominantly instrumental hook. The other songs on their albums are so-so imo. Not the most lyrically creative.

Girls seem more talented than what they have to work with.

Yeah, the line distribution is kind of wacky. I heard someone call the group Miaglow once.

Adios and Dun Dun definitely sounded waaaay too alike. Here's hoping they try something new for their next comeback (and give more lines to certain members).

Sihyeon would be my bias if not for E:U.


And a picture of Sihyeon anyways, because why not.
