The title says it all. Maybe. I have not posted here in years and I have not been interested in this stuff since last year. K-Pop these days is in shambles, it doesn’t feel genuine or real anymore (you might say it never felt real at all) and throughout that entire time I was into it throughout my "Awkward Phase" even though I lost interest slightly later at age 17 I only listened to the older stuff as it was better and higher quality than the new stuff. Even in 2019, when I got into it, bands/groups still had distinct themes and soundscapes, and experimental (Red Velvet’s Zimzalabim embodied this!). But now almost everyone sounds the same, controversies happen every other week and the scene is squeezing fans dry, if I played you any of the newgens' songs you won’t even tell who sings what! It’s also been reduced to just catchy formulaic beats over true artistic innovation. Bands/groups used to have distinct themes and soundscapes but now they just use the same recycled beige crud over and over again. It’s even worse than it was 5 years ago. Companies don’t bring out songs anymore they just make sounds that try going viral on platforms like TikTok, remember when songs had bridge sections? Now it’s just NOTHINGNESS. Gone are the days where groups/bands had potential to develop a signature sound, instead, labels are too frightened to experiment and the industry as a whole is terrified of taking creative risks, instead of nurturing individuality, they create manufactured clones. Companies keep serving the same aesthetic, the same choreographies and the same generic sound, the lack of risk-taking in today’s K-Pop is making it boring and if the industry doesn’t start embracing individuality again, enthusiasts might look elsewhere for excitement. And I was one of them. K-Pop isn’t fun anymore because the fanwars and the fans themselves are more toxic than ever and the industry’s weird obsession with controlling idols’ personal lives has also worsened!! In conclusion my biggest issues with the Korean entertainment industry are: Americanising their own culture + repetitive content + weird fan behavior + racism + toxicity of the industry in general. I left and I don't have any regrets honestly You may remember I used to loathe when male groups/bands were overusing the same dark broody image (I hate this now, not loathe) as I not only preferred something softer and more wholesome but it was also because I was only 13-14! And I used to kind of like women being sexy, (yeah I was weird back then). I even did a post where I call out men for wearing PVC, and it was because I was younger then and I poorly received them, yet now that I’m older I think they look sexy. I know that not everyone will agree with what I said, I know K-Pop has western influence from the beginning but to each is to own, to each is to own. I might get busted please don’t hate me submitted by /u/Culture_Novel [link] [comments]

Title, just curious if anyone has any celebrity in mind like this. submitted by /u/TracerB16 [link] [comments]

in these few months I experienced so many news that sasaengs stalked enhypen home, etc etc... AND NOW THAT? in such a short period of time? just a few days ago some sasaengs literally broke into enhypens dorm, and now heeseungs adress got leaked? its just so disgusting and disturbing, and the more the fandom grows, the more incidents like that happen and it concerns me a lot. and the fact that belift barely does anything? hello? do you really care about your artists? just imagine how scary that is for the members, and then there's their company man. I genuinely hope belift will come to their sense and do something about all of this because this is creeping me out submitted by /u/ellax_xalle [link] [comments]

You could also include the era you started listening to them if that was earlier! Here are mine: Oneus - Debut, Valkyrie (09.01.2019) Zerobaseone - Before/around Yura Yura era (early 2024) but been listening and semi-following since debut In Bloom (2023) 1Verse - Pre-debut, around before the era of Hyuk's mixtape Ordinary Person (early 2024) XONIK - Pre-debut, around when they made their first public appearance in May 2025. Most of these grabbed my attention immediately now that I think about it! submitted by /u/BicycleNo1181 [link] [comments]

Based on how much you like the vibe, type of music, in which generation do you find your sound the most? Mine would be : 4th Gen - Best discography out of the 5 imo 2nd - Genuinely obsessed, might take first place one day. 5th gen - Not specifically a fan of everyone but a lot of groups with huge potential. 3rd Gen - I only really like Twice and Red Velvet but they are my ults so. 1st Gen - Only used to listen a bit to Lee Hyori and S.E.S 3rd and 5th gen are interchangeable to me. submitted by /u/yofavcity [link] [comments]

I came across a video from baby monster released a few days ago of their new song today and I really like it. It's very catchy. It reminded me of what I like most about 80s electro infused hip hop from the likes of Sir Mix-A-Lot, J.J. Fad and Salt-N-Pepa. I also saw that it was six of them and they usually have seven members, correct me if I'm wrong. Hope she's okay and is back soon ❤️. Overall songs I enjoyed from them are forever, like that, and now I have hot sauce to add to my liked songs from them. They did the song justice. submitted by /u/SoftOk3836 [link] [comments]

All I'm going to say is if companies want me to continue to buy concert tickets, and with these ticket prices and with how everything is getting crazy expensive (living expense wise), I'm going to need more bang for my buck and that includes keeping ALL the songs they have for the tour setlists. Normally, I see the US setlist and get sad when I see my fave songs cut but still go to support. But enough is enough! Please know, companies, that I am willing to sit and watch my faves for more than 2 hours. 3-4 hours even! submitted by /u/NMIXXLUVR [link] [comments]

Apple Music just posted their top 500 most streamed songs on the platform history and Dynamite was crowned as the most streamed song by a group, by an asian artist and by a Korean artist and the #34th most streamed song overall, which is such a huge achievement considering how stacked the top 300 especially was. However, what's also very interesting is how BTS (and the members) dominate so many other platforms accross the board. Jungkook owns the record for the most streamed song both by an Asian and a Korean act on Spotify with Seven (81st overall) and with the second most streamed song for a Korean act being Dynamite itself. On melon, Queen Spring Day holds the record for the most streamed song on the platforms history. As for Soundcloud, Jimin owns the record for the most streamed song by any act (also the highest first day streams in the platform's history) with Promise. And Jin owns the record for the most shazamed song by a Korean act (95th overall). The only platform where the record is not taken by BTS is YouTube, in which Psy's Gangnam style, to no one's surprise, holds the record and is the 9th most viewed music video overall. (Baby Shark by Pinkfong is the most viewed MV of all time on the platform's history but that is released under an educational entertainment company so I wont count it here). I know its generally expected from BTS but the numbers they pull, and seeing how they and their members perform accross the board and manage to dominate platforms and spaces that seldom are open for foreign acts, nonetheless, will always astound me. submitted by /u/Ghetto_Leda99 [link] [comments]
