Why do so many people like K-Pop ?

[MrPancake]

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 ???

That's about it.

 

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.

Because they think it's nice? 

As an amature mussisian I will tell you this, "There is no such thing as bad music!!

If you like it, its good. 

[Fat is a type of crazy]

Bit of fun. Escapism. Different to the rock and pop I am used to. Cute as hell. Crayon Pop. Hyuna. Fun.

Are you bignoob's dad by any chance?

[brewsterbudgen]

Same reason as people liked the early Beatles, ABBA etc.  Cute singers, good tunes & hooks.  K-Pop has the added bonus of great dancing.

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.

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.

one has to wonder how they sound live as the majority of their stuff is lip sync created/arranged in studio with loud background sound(noise)don't think any of them knows how to sing or has the voice to sing... the giggles are a turn off

ALL Mv's are lip synch

[Shop mak]

Take a look, open some of these videos. Some vdo's are so erotic that ones imagination kick into turbo mode.

Enjoy.

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

Not really. They don't even look like women. More like teenagers with their boobs just starting to grow. I'm not into that crap. If I had to listen to garbage for women I would go for Jennifer Lopez. Too bad I'm not american, I have to admit latinas have something special...

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.
