I’m not a fan of K-pop but this isn’t a good example of it’s general sound. K-Pop is a flashy fusion of Pop, Hip&Hop, and R&B rather than pure pop. Like, you can clearly hear and see the unacknowledged Black influence on their sound and style.

For instance,


It’s so much more obvious in most of their music than the song OP picked

This shyt fye

 

[African Peasant]

It's just a boys band

The usual non organic music pushed by the machine.

All I know is that K-Pop attracts the same fan base as cosplay does: wenches.

Went for the jugular

I fukks with BTS. I discovered them last year and they have really good music. They hire top notch song writers from the states so it makes sense.

But this joint right here is from BTS member Suga - probably one of the best Non American Hip-hop songs I have ever heard

Production and Flow is top notch. Hear the song and tell me what you think breh. Video is dope as fuk too

 

[Sauce Dab]

So generic and lifeless.

Why are they so feminine?

Why are they so white?

Doesn't even make me wanna dance.

Sounds like someone singing a karaoke of a Bruno Mars song

Because they manufactured like that. The Kpop scene is hella toxic and those execs know what it takes for a group to do numbers so they just build groups with a specific image and throw them on stage

You know the type. The kind who resent black people because they were made fun of in school for “speaking well.” Dying their hair different colors to look alternative and different from “regular” blacks. Have a septum nose ring and distance themselves from black culture, thinking it makes them better than us “nikkas”.

 

[L@CaT]

Kpop also has the best choreo in the world right now when it comes to stage and videos. So if you PAAG and like dance Kpop is clearly where its at

 

[Kool]

This shyt ain't nothing but a rip-off of American pop, hip hop and r&b.

 

[Booker T Garvey]

This is a group, not an artist

plus they're fans are known for spamming literally every tweet with their content

this music is absolutely terrible though

 

[staticshock]

Common knowledge Koreans are racist as fukk towards Black people..they should be ashamed of themselves for copying the art of a people they denigrate and despise..they can all

every race is racist to each other

my friends little sister loves them (she's 16). i was wondering when kpop would finally hit big in the u.s. and its here.

their fanbase is crazy. which i honestly get, they're pretty boys with their own unique personalites who sing love songs and dance. easy money printing machine.

They just look like cornballs to me. I like Jpop better than kpop.

Edit: Also word on the street is the Korean music industry is like 80 times worse than the American one. And ours is already trash. There are Korean doc students in my program who laugh and say that those boy bands are broke behind the scenes and treated like slaves. Said several pop stars have died from exhaustion.
