didn't Rihanna used to put out an album every 6 months? Ariana puts out an album every year, so does 1D, so did Justin during his 1st few years. Gaga didn't go 1 year without having at least 3 singles out from 2009- to the end of the Born This Way era.
we can't blame them for trying to make as much money as possible, it is a business after all and artists come and go so they need to strike while they're hot.
there are quite a few Kpop artists that don't have strict release schedules and just put out music when they feel ready. BoA and Wonder Girls are great examples because they also wrote and/or composed pretty much the entirety of their new albums.
I can't fully get into it because I don't understand it. I connect with music on an emotional level. If I don't know what's being said, I can't get into it. Although, I do enjoy some K-pop acts and songs.
This is the SAME THING I said a few months ago and now... You'll just be able to feel it. Airplane by iKON for example [for me]... I didn't look up the translation yet but by the tone of the song, I knew it was sad. The video confirmed.
I bet the translation to this is so POETIC just like most k-pop songs.
I mean y'all like it "doesn't sound the same" but every time I tried listening to the albums all the tracks were hard to tell apart because they were so similar in structure and breakdowns so I mean cling onto that "some songs have ~artistic quality~" boat. I'm sure it doesn't but the way the genre presents itself is very one note so don't act shocked lol
Im not saying it's a bad thing either but let's not defend a spade when it's clearly fine being a spade.
sure, one group might put out an album full of similar sounding songs..which also happens here. but we're not going to claim that the album will then go and sound like another artists songs because it's just not true.
e.g. these 2 songs were both released last year and produced by the same person
I think it shows better connection to MUSIC to enjoy songs in languages you do not understand
This is why music by itself is a universal language. It makes you feel things without necessarily paying attention to the lyrics / understanding the songs.
& like, it's not like KPoppers only listen to KPop and shot off western music anyway

sorry sis i didn't even look at who i was replying to. i can't believe i just typed out a paragraph trying to defend kpop for someone that already liked it
Not exactly, but ignorance like this often does come with racist or at least xenophobic undertones...

K-Pop is not really a genre and the charts there show just as much diversity, if not even more than our top 40. It's pop in Korean.
It's this mindset of 'it's all the same creepy cute weird Asian noise'that comes off slightly racist.
