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.

I guess it's good people are getting the weekly 'let's discuss the direction of the thread' talk out of the way before the impending Taeyeon pic dump. While fun, I'd rather discuss things like Yuri with a towel on her head if there's no other music going on.

@Moonwrath- if you think this discussion won't bring on that discussion in the future, you're kidding yourself. We've both been around too long to think otherwise.

@Styx- while we don't discuss them, 10cm has topped several charts. Wouldn't consider them to be "hidden gems", just not idols, and therefore never discussed.

I was being sardonic about the fany being a whale/nicole being ugly but I guess sarcasm is hard to convey over the internet.

I also told you guys about the alive album but nooooope

노블레스 is pretty good "hidden gem" (at least I haven't heard much about him). I don't think I've seen much of him in the thread (Probably because its rap). + Show Spoiler +

Would you say Korean ballads are kpop?

I listen to only Korean ballads. Once in a while I will listen to a really good kpop kpop song, but I stick to Davichi/SeeYa/IU ballads, as well as some other ballads from singers/groups that normally sing pop. A lot of the cheesy OSTs too, lol. My kind of music though.

It's Yuri with a towel on her head? What the hell is there to discuss? (I'm gonna regret that, aren't I?)

The entire mini-album is ass. I feel like a fool for thinking that they couldn't have released something worse than the Tonight EP but I guess I was wrong. Fuck it, GD & TOP Album forever #1

More music?

Yes those artists are kpop, OSTs as well.

Thought new Big Bang album was better than GD & TOP actually. Not all the songs are better but there are a few that outshine anything they did as a subunit.

I think Blue is the best song on the album with love dust as a second if you can get past that one weird Taeyang line in the song that screws up the flow. Otherwise, the other songs suck. Just didn't want to add more negativity to the thread back at album release. Since the subject was brought up, I'll just throw in my 2 cents about the album.

Ballads aren't pop because they're separate genres.

There are some hybrids like Davichi's Time, Please Stop, but a full ballad will never be KPop because that's not how you define pop music. It's fine to say the artist is a pop group if that's the type of music they usually make, but it's completely irrelevant to an individual song. A ballad is always a ballad; it doesn't magically become pop just because a typically pop group sings it.

Idol groups tend to do a mix of both in albums but usually promote pop songs. When they do promote a ballad it's usually a temporary thing done in the first week or two of a comeback.

Actually kpop has always been seen as any genre in the mainstream of korea. We don't call Mighty Mouth korean hip hop, we call it kpop. We don't say that every time some idol group sings a ballad they are singing ballad, it is still kpop. When CNBlue comes on stage it's kpop. It's all kpop.

Was looking for an IU gif where she was sticking out her tongue during a recent awards show; couldn't find it in the last 100 pages or so. Any help on it?

People do that because they're lazy, not because it's accurate.

Yeah, I list everything as one genre just to make it easier for me to organize my music. All my Japanese music is classified as J-rock or J-pop. All my Korean music is classified just as K-pop, shit like my metal and alternative music are just listed as Rock, and so on.

Well no, CNBlue and Mighty Mouth are very much considered "Idol Groups" pertaining to the Kpop genre in Korea. For example, Korea views CNBlue as a boy group similar to the likes of 2PM, 2AM, BIGBANG, etc. while Japan views CNBlue as a rock band rather than music idols. Just about any music in Korea that is considered popular is Kpop not because people are lazy, but just because its culture is the way it is. And the term "kpop" is more of a foreign term describing the music of Korea. To Korea its just music.

It's also lazy and inaccurate to run under the assumption that there aren't genre-specific forms of ballad such as [/shockhorror] pop ballads

Taeyeon's birthday is today, and while I would like to make a post like TuElite's, I'm just not very good at them, so here's a picture instead:
