To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
  • Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
  • When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
  • No reposting of old material unless justified
  • Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
  • No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
  • Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
  • No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
  • No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
  • Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)

Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

Can't believe she didn't win girlgroup award. Granted she's not in a girlgroup. Didn't really like T-ara's performance in super tournament finals but this is pure popularity votes. I'm dissapointed but it's not really surprising.

Edit: Introes are good enough.... come on... oGsPenus

): so unfortunate she didn't perform before.

Yeah but if she was at the first GSL she wouldn't be considered for the award since that didn't happen this year

The main problem I have with all the generic kpop out there is that it fails to evoke any emotions other than 'oh they're cute/pretty, oh that's catchy, oh look! they're dancing! weeeeeeee~ (btw I do speak korean). I guess it's not THAT different to other pop music in the world, but you feel it more with kpop.

But they're 10x prettier (IMO) so that makes up for it. Also you haven't listened to non-kidol but still popular Korean music that's quite good.

edit- some repeats in your pagetop there purpl3...and by that I mean in your post there are multiples of the same picture.

i posted a link a while ago with a wikipedia list of all korean 'idol' groups. it was fine when it was like only snsd/kara/wg but post 2009 it's just trash now with the easy ability to just produce catchy but trashy music. combine with a large "talent" pool and a money hungry society, and you can see why korean music has significantly declined in quality.

edit: here we go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_South_Korean_idol_groups

just look at 2010, how many of those groups do you actually recognise? how many are still around?
and then to get ahead of the curve, some companies are trying to try and make themselves unique by having the dumbest concepts. i.e swing girls (d-cups), and gp basic (pedo group).

holy shit k-pop is terrible.

especially when you look at all the composers and realize how much generic shit they have to poop out just to keep up with all the contracts/groups they have to make songs for. Like you said with the number of groups, more songs are needed, but the composer talent pool is around the same, so they have less time to make actually good songs.

Mainstream Kpop is usually good, granted it's not too cutesy o.o Nonmainstream is good when it's linked here, otherwise it's not linked

I like to recontribute stuff that's been posted before so lemme spoiler that for you. Too bad Tablo is mainstream but still not really recognized.

I've been listening to Cho PD's Part 1: State of the Art and Part 2: Art of Business, along with that collaboration album Blue Brand: 12 Doors a lot recently. Don't know if that counts as mainstream or not. And i11evn.
