I don't "get" Kpop at all...

[Hopeofmypeople]

Far from it. Majority K/JPop is literal 90’s style pop

I don’t like it for that exact reason. Its not based on black music

What are you talking about, the whole style is based on RNB groups of the 90,s mixed with some poppy backstreet NYSNC pop shyt.

No different from the British Invasion bands stealing the Blues from AA's and selling it back to white americans.

You fukking delusional.

Negged.

 

[JOHN.KOOL]

I really want to get into more foreign language music but I can't be paid to listen to kpop

 

[Neuromancer]

A lot of black females are into it.

Oh yeah. I bet I know which ones too.

Nope. You’re just upset. Negging won’t affect me

Like I said. MOST of K/JPop is light catchy pop music. I’m not saying there aren’t musical influences from many regions, but the MAJORITY of the groups and songs are classic pop shyt.

If you’ve not listened to more than 10 bands, I don’t think you have any space to talk.

If you’ve ever been to Asia, this is the type of J/Kpop they play (probably the biggest JPOP group):



This is a general mix. Again you see the varied style of music, but there is a clear male/female split to the type of music and dancing, but all with a pop feel to it :

There is a reason why we see the more westernised versions of groups: because it’s exported.

I don't know about K Pop, but Korean R&B is the shyt

i wonder if its as good as Korean fried chicken

Korean pop has always been the worst of soulless distilled commercialized music to ever exist. It's the music of a pure capitalist hell. Where all creativity and soul is sucked out of an artform and replaced with financial decisions by big corporate conglomerates. Trends are followed heavily and then replicated endless until money runs dry. Imitation is rampant instead of individuals being unique and doing their own thing. The contracts these artists are signed are way more draconian than anything anyone in the west would sign or tolerate.

In short, it's shiet and explains why a lot of women love it. It also perfectly represents a lot of Asian countries where consumerism is folks number one goal in life after attaining wealth.

If there is asian music I do enjoy, it would be Japanese music. Plenty of artists that do true art and not music pumped out by some executive.







They seem to be more expressive creatively than Koreans.

I wanna know who their fans are.

There’s this Rican chick I know. From the Bronx mind u. That is obsessed wit them BTS weirdos. Like she really is in love with one of the members and I be ready to block the bytch off my IG because she keep on posting that homo lookin kid. Jimin or whatever his name is. Apparently mad nikkas be shyttin on her about that shyt so she always lashing out on people on her page about it. Lol. I told her she might as well call herself a lesbian if she like effeminate lookin ass nikkas like that. Lol. She blacked on me, I laughed at her and told her to watch her mouth and stop spamming people feed wit them cornballs and no one would say nothin. bytch will post like 20 vids in a row n shyt.

Actually listen and watch more than BTS. There’s a reason why they have a global reach, they’re making western music.

But again, the majority of this music, is pop music.

Y’all sounding like white people that say rap is just guns, drugs and misogyny

 

[spliz]

This the type of Korean music that’s fire.

 

[Icantspell]

shyt is weird but they got fans. BTS sold out the rose bowl in may.

 

[REAL6]

And before that, there was.......... J-Pop.......

You specifically said RnB like a direct derivitive of the blues isn't "black music" or AAs didn't create RnB itself.

Not to mention half the shyt posted here draws directly from the sequencing used in hip hop over the last decade.
