It's an old nursery rhyme song so it kinda hits certain korean ppl in a way that it might not for the rest of world

New iu x suga was eh I guess

Made me want to listen to her collab with epik High instead tbh

I literally forgot how it went, so I was like is it even all that better, much less good? and looked it up to listen to it again

Yes it's such a better song. Even with such a limited presence, it's beautiful.

How the f*** is this song 5 years old? How how how?

Autoplayed to lovedrunk epik High song w crush, and iu acting in the video

Made me think about crush. It hasnt been the same since he's been back tbh. His recent work with code kunst, I wasnt super feeling it. It's not bad. But nothing I want to listen to again.

Its just that he left on SUCH an absolute high for me, and it's weird that he's come back, and had huge success w his single and concerts but I just don't connect to them/him at all

I was trying to make sense of it but my CC translation is all over the place I saw u explained it. I'm still not fully used to the chorus

yea i prefer eight she killed the chorus tho

Ive I am

Hmmm idk how I feel about this one. Some few moments I like, but I'm kinda like unsure still at the end. Could be a grower. I get very marina and the diamond vibes from this

After watching their Paris performance, Kitsch live goesssss

Pressed play for classic twice but it doesn’t give me that. Feels closer to GFriend or actually like early fromis 9

Was pretty good tho I’ll listen to their other stuff later. Would like to see more groups doing this sound justice

Smh been so out of the loop this year so I tossed kpop daebek on shuffle

Really struggled to find songs I fw. Not a big fan of this current era

king frnk popping up to drop this gem

i never listened to the coke song with headphones

and it is so fun!

im still going back and forth whether i should try to make a trip to see them at lollapalooza

i feel its a lot of effort for maybe not that much of a show

not that it would be a bad performance by them, but festivals arent really that great of a venue to see anyone unless it's night, and every single person in the crowd is there to see the artist (aka headliner)

this is going to sound very gatekeeping /elitist or whatever

but

growing up i was into emo s***, and then i remember it blew up as much as a non-mainstream thing. and now, when i browse online, there are those tiktoks or reels that appeal to 'emo kids' of then, but generally its just a lot of s*** i didnt f*** w at all.

i feel its kinda the same w kpop now. on one hand, i havent been as invested into as as before, but on the other hand, its kinda at its saturation point, where a lot of stuff i just dont think is that great or memorable. BUT , there is such a huge market that makes it all justifiable atm. similar to the emo bands that arose after the blow up. a s***ty band could still justify playing a bigger venue, and actually have people show up because those people identified themselves as part of the movement.

all that said, i think i remember reading a headline about the slowing down of kpop overall recently. ill need to look for it again.

anyway, youre not alone in the way you feel. there's still good stuff out there, but you kinda need wade through a lot more to find it.

Rt bro I was just listening to stuff. Not even from just this year but also like the past few years just thinking to myself

“like damn am I really a kpop boomer who swears the era I liked is the best?” Or like was it actually better?

Was me being more invested and caring more making Twice, OMG, pre debut Loona, RV, etc sound good? Idk

I still like all the gen 2 and 3 songs that I liked back then. And there’s some newer songs that restore the feeling. I thought Next Level was massive. I like NewJeans OMG but not too high on their other stuff. Can’t get into Le Sserafim

Idk bro. Always try to think of myself of not falling for nostalgia and “my era was better” type s*** but maybe I’m just a kpop boomer. It doesn’t help that the dominant sound rn is not what I love most. I need the bubblegum/color pop revival

GOAT group

We still rocking with STAYC? they had so much promise their latest single is aight

god I wish I could get jennie in the back of my car

Holy

Moobin from astro found dead

Early speculation is suicide

​😣

have to, the brain trust behind them are too good not to.

but it seems they're pivoting a little to try and solidify their base a little domestically. really competitive atm so it's understandable.

i think in the long run they should be fine

R.I.P. Moonbin

need a full album of Taeyang doing Eyes, Nose, Lips type RnB joints, not tryna hear any club songs

If he works with Zion T on this Album it might actually happen
