what's the difference between hyori and britney spears? snsd and pussy cat dolls? epik high and black eyed peas? rain and neyo?

pop is pop wherever you go. the only thing i find unique about kpop to other pop is that kpop has seriously perfected the commercial formula for pop. more members in groups = more eyecandy and less musical merit required (rofl, i saw a clip of super junior (i think) and they have like 15 members each singing like two lines)

Actually, let me amend that statement. All pop is bad, including the stuff in other countries, but it seems like the only music that we see from Korea that's not a rap group is a bunch of fake women who would sound terrible if their songs were actually performed live. I can get behind liking a group like Epik High but I simply can't understand people who like music that is clearly not "real" but is instead a carefully produced product that would be impossible to recreate at any live event.


pop is produced for the general public. its ear candy (though one could argue that it's starting towards eye candy nowadays..) for the sake of profit. to say all pop is bad is pushing it, but its good for what they set out to do.

also, rating music on what is performed live is utter bs. live is good in its own, but its hardly the defining standard for music.

carefully produced products have long been the masterpieces of any real artist. the ability to do shit on the fly is a style in its own.


Agreed on all counts. KPop just seems to be better at what it is supposed to do than others. In that sense, it is more "honest" as it doesn't feign artistic credibility. It does not pretend that it is more than what it really is: ear-candy, eye-candy into a polished commercial package. I've never had anything against this kind of "honest" pop.

At the same time, I also hope your tastes are not limited to KPop. There is much real music to explore, especially in the classical tradition.

I like kpop a lot - I think everyone is entitled to their personal musical tastes.

I cannot understand why people keep calling KPop bad music just because it doesn't fit their taste. There are lots of good songs out there, and many korean groups have incredibly talented singers. One can't deny that!

Both k/j pop are fucking horrible.

I'd rather listen to trance/electronica than those crap.
