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.

Everything in kpop sounds like something from the 90s.

It reminds me of the freestyle days of TKA and Stevie B. I think it is one of the reasons why I like kpop. It's like listening to music through a time machine but with some modern day flare. Now that I am older, I feel like I can enjoy the evolution of music through kpop.

Sistar was little disappointing, it seems a little weak. I think the chorus could have been stronger. Dancing was all leg movement, not sure if good or bad thing. :S

I don't see whats wrong with volume up. The saxophone the catchy chorus. I don't know guys. Hell this is the first 4minute song I've heard and I have nothing else to go on for them. I only know Hyuna from trouble maker and I dont think she is very attractive so it's not some sort of bias.

Maybe you guys are just being really opinionated lately.

If by opinionated you mean people don't like things you happen to like, then yes.

I don't know what you mean by opinionated because people always state if they don't like things. I guess people here, myself included, just don't like what's coming out lately.

Hmm.. I'm not one to bash someone for not liking something I find good. You'd be hard pressed to find a post from me saying "You're wrong they're good" or something along those lines. To each his own.

What I meant was that lately it seems everyone, not just regular posters like yourself, are jumping on the "THIS SONG SUCKS" wagon. I don't mind it I just feel like I'm missing something. This can't keep up for another 3 months can it?

It won't keep up for another 3 months because of GsD comeback duh. Unless it ends up blowing hardcore...but even then some people will like it, just like any other thing...someone will like it, someone will hate it. I thought we had a decent string of decent songs from BB -> 2AM -> Shinee -> EXO, but maybe that's just me :D We had our male group comebacks, now this string of female ones has been sucking a bit though.

Perhaps because many recent songs are bad, or at least very mediocre. People sharing similar opinions isn't automatically a case of bandwagoning.

Many of the most popular female groups aren't promoting (or are in Japan where people's interest drops off tremendously) and male groups are generally unpopular with the thread readers. Of the female groups who have come back, they've not had songs that were particularly catchy or remarkable. People naturally have higher expectations for comebacks, which only serves to make an average song seem bad due to not meeting the hype/expectations. You often have to look for gems in the album that aren't being promoted.

This new Sistar song is way better than So Cool and Push Push imo. Still too early to tell, but this has the potential to be my favorite promotion cycle from Sistar with the exception of maybe Ma Boy.

Anyways, I present to you guys some gifs.

MaBoy is Sistar's best song with approximately 10000000% margin

It's probably just me...but after Ma Boy, any Sistar MV/dance video that has come out has been very boring to me

including this latest one.

Nothing wrong with So Cool. Catchy Kpop at it's best and the vid was good if you ignore the random old white guy. Not a massive Sistar fan, but it's hard to hate on that track. "It's Paaree time!"

I gave Alone another listen, for science, and it just seems a bit boring. That monotonous piano plod in the background is not helping.

I don't know how to appreciate Volume up. Alone wasn't great but definately better if you want to compare

Personally I'm pretty disappointed with Alone, the track is kinda dull and although the MV is sexy it isn't that different from So Cool. I haven't listened to the rest of the album yet but definately prefer Volume up to Alone.

Sistar's 'Alone' reminds me of MissA's 'Touch' in terms of the song and the MV! You won't really see or hear any similarities if you compare them directly, but their themes are both classy-retro style. And just as catchy too!

Hi, I have found a really catchy kpop song on Rainbow's stream but no way to find out what's it called. Would be very cool and helpful if somebody who knows would post the answer:

It's from 00:38:00 to 00:41:30. Thanks very much in advance.
