MrPancake Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I've been trying to figure out why so many people seem to love K-Pop. Sure the girls are kinda cute if you like the white skin asian style. But apart from that, wtf ??? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they use huge amounts of money to make them look good. I.e. Blackpink, I don't think many people would listen to their music without the cute girls. But once you saw the professionally made music videos then what comes to our minds when we hear the music? The cute girls. qed 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brewsterbudgen Posted November 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2023 Same reason as people liked the early Beatles, ABBA etc. Cute singers, good tunes & hooks. K-Pop has the added bonus of great dancing. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike the majority of K-Pop music, except for a few which are great for driving in the night on the Autobahn or for cleaning my room, washing the dishes... For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7_lSP8Vc3o some K-pop / J-pop are also great as background noise for working - I listen to Tokyo Radio Kawaii, non stop Jap girl groups, no ads :) I wouldn't call either music though.

proton Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) The well put together Mv's have a lot to do with their success, 1..3 billion views is not bad on this old Black Pink hit. The problem is that the Mv action and excitement is almost impossible to replicate on stage. K pop is all derived from J pop.

proton Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) Apart from Black Pink no K Pop is that impressive some J Pop acts are still good like AKB48, Morning Musume and Band Maid are a great rock band. I find you can't beat a Thai concert for a good night out though, no lip synch or Mv lightening editing Edited November 10, 2023 by proton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 1 hour ago, MrPancake said: You're very open-minded imo... As we should all be IMO So what is music, and why people enjoy it " vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion" and why people enjoy it.? "The key reason people listen to music lies in the reward center of the brain. Listening to pleasurable music activates areas of the reward system " so does K-pop combine most of the above criteria? If it does then to those who get an emotional response and have their reward areas in the brain activated it's good music, You might not like it, and for you it's not good music. But remember your music was also crap to others, I am sure many of our parents and grandparents thought so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
