K-poop spreads its shit to the US

Postby Samurai_Jerk » Sun Dec 25, 2011 8:32 am

According to this NPR report K-pop found a large following in the US in 2011 and the bands Girls' Generation and 2NE1 are the two of the most popular.

Okay, I'll bite. Why is your brother into K-pop? Is it their musical virtuosity, their shining Karaoke Box singing talents, or their avant garde Kindergarden dance routines?

I have NFI... I stopped trying to figure out most of the stuff my brother does a long time ago.

Note - he used to be on staff at Sun Music about 20 years ago and then he worked as a producer for Nori-P and the merchandising section or something to do with her race team? So his taste has been on this genre of the music industry for a long time.

I saw some of them on TV the other day. From a distance they don't look bad but up close they're a bunch of munters.

AKB might be anodyne crap, but at least there's a couple that are worth a pop. Most of these k lasses I've seen are dogs.

You may not like the music, but seriously..the choreography in many K-Pop videos is mindblowing IMO.

Regarding the music. Well, it's chewing gum pop music, so you'd have to be into that sort of thing to appreciate it. Personally I like some of it. The production is usually really, really good. Very perfect.

Then again, I understand if you hate it too :D

I think you mean bubble-gum pop. Anyway, you probably like Eurobeat so your opinions don't count.

having worked in clubs before... i can see k-pop making it to the normal dj mix soon... sad to say.

the second video sounds like Lords of Acid... Their videos are just like 'merican music videos... hummers, lambos, smashing shit, and they are even holdin platinum M4 carbines... wow...

as for AKB48, it is just a new way of pushing "junior idol" bullshit on a massive scale. they cant dance, they only lipsync, and they all auditioned by wearing short skirts and showing doing up skirts for the judges...

like coligney... i have also reported that video as child pron...

You guys know that AKB48 members are late teens to early 20s, right?

I find their shitty music and stupid videos far more offensive than their ages.

Am' french and ah can't count but according to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKB48#Team_4

being born in 95 and 96 make some of them 15 and 16 year old... Majority being 20 in Japan (can't buy tobacco or booze before)... I think we can put this in Ch1ld Pr0n category...

Especially in a country searching to ban pornography in manga and anime... (soon killing a character in a movie will also be a criminal offense... just wait people... Japan always deliver as far as over ze top stoopid goes...)

OMG. That is some of the worst 'dancing' I have ever seen. People actually go to these shows to watch uncoordinated high school girls???
As for the publicity, going pervy will sink the band. Obviously some creep with one short of a six pack has taken over management. Expect a police raid some time soon.

If you think this music/video is new and innovative you would be wrong. It's the same old asian idol pop MTV they've been churning out for the past 20 years with the addition of pitch correction.

Well, what is really new?

I do think that there is some good production and choreography coming out of Korea these days. Choreography-wise it is quite innovative. Music-wise maybe not so much. It is just very well done.

Sorry, but I've never liked shitty over-produced pop regardless of when it was made. It's amazing that you think those videos look innovative considering MTV was cranking out very similar R&B and rap videos in the early to mid 90s. The only thing different is the cast is Asian and can't sing without being autotuned.

Over-produced pop. Yup. A polished turd is still a turd.

When "music" becomes more about production than the music, especially when glossy production is used to compensate for substandard talent, then it loses all interest for me. Production is important, but it should have a supporting role. If you take away the production there should still be music, but I wouldn't want to hear what's left with some of these acts.

The visual media are partly to blame, beginning with MTV in the 80's. Up until then music was something you listened to, but the advent of MTV made it necessary to add flashy visual impact, and that spread the artists and the production team way too thin and the music suffered. I don't think it has ever recovered.
