And yeah, I agree with you guys who are saying kpop isn't really fresh anymore. Two or three years ago, it was very fresh and exciting, but now the songs and groups are just repeating the same format over and over. I still like it, but I feel like the current ~title tracks~ are more like songs that would have been single/mini album/album fillers a few years ago.
Also, you guys, not all kpop sounds exactly the same. There are definitely a lot of "smaller" groups who have less standout songs and all seem similar. And while electropop, dance, autotune, hip-hop, and rap definitely dominate... there is still a lot of really different sounding stuff within that. BIGBANG's stuff sounds totally different from Super Junior's. SNSD, 2NE1, T-ara, etc. all have really different styles from each other. And then there's like 2PM, who does dance-y hip-hop type stuff, while 2AM does ballads. So it's not like... every single kpop song by every single kpop group sounds like every other one. There's still variety in there. |
OH M GEE GURL PREACH IT LOUD AND PROUD!!! I so agree. I don't get why everyone says "zomg they're all the same styles~~~~~" Umm no, they're not. 2NE1 and 2PM are totally different (ignoring gender) and SNSD and 2NE1 are totally different and etc.
It's such a lame excuse for K-Pop bashers. Thanks for your post, this topic needed it~
