Complex psychological essay on why Korean Pop is so fascinating on a deep level (srs)

[DatPass]

OP did you rly just suggest that an Asian country is more "human" than the west? Brah half the Asian countries have zero regard for human life or the environment...

[CXVII]

Would rather listen to this

[SuaveAge]

Is there anyone else in this thread that managed to force themselves painfully through 10 seconds of any of those songs?

K pop isn't currently exploding in the west, and based on these songs I can't see it happening in the future either

South Koreans are not Christian based. WTF is this.

They're mostly atheists.

North Koreans are almost ALL atheists.

[tk217]

They're not "mongoloids" they are people like you and me with real life issues of their own.

Mongoloid is actually the human race. So, yes, they are.

[inchamery]

interesting

Right so Asians like Chinese and Japanese and Taiwanese (I could easily become a superstar in Taiwan BTW - I have double folding eyelids) all of the traditional Asian culture has that same thing in common: communism, quietness, lack of respect for life, everyone being a quiet clone of each other, taking things ultra serious, being selfishly hateful and awkwardly inhuman, socially immature etc....

all those things ^^^ that we traditionally stereotype to Asians...

Well South Koreans are less like that. Its like they have Asian bodies, but their brains are more like Western culture and they have more self awareness and their behavior and culture is more human.

I would never listen to Chinese music. Or even to Japanese music for the reasons above, I have nothing in common with them.

But Korean culture is not as inaccessibly Asian like that, and it makes sense why K-Pop is so awesome even though its coming from an Asian nation.

For some reason, there are a lot of K-idols that are Christian and quite openly talk about going to church, praying and all that other junk.

And North Korea is probably the single most religiously fanatic country in the world, Kim Il Sung is their god and is still the head of state as far as anyone inside NK is concerned.

If your first reaction is pain, you have a simpletons mind. Theres nothing wrong with the music besides that its different from what you are comfortable with as a consumerist tool.

You are just... one of those simple types of people that cant process what is there to appreciate.

Dont talk like your uneducated opinion is valid or relevant.

Anyway, millions of people all over the world are into it. The average American is aware of it and has seen videos. Many girls like to see videos from the guy groups and have crushes on them and many fans of the girls have a fetish for that too. If you ask the average younger person if they know about K-Pop they can name a couple groups.

The phenomenon already happened all last year.

Correction:

The growth of Christianity was gradual until 1945 when about 2% were Christian. A rapid growth of Christianity ensued. As of 1991, 54% of the South Korean population identified themselves as religious. The influence on education has been decisive as Christians started 293 schools and 40 universities including 3 of the top 5 academic institutions. Protestantism is seen as the religion of the middle class, youth, intellectuals, and urbanites, and has been central to South Korea's pursuit of modernity and emulation of the United States.

Mongoloid is actually the human race. So, yes, they are.

Correction:

Mongoloid specifically refers to populations that share certain phenotypic traits such as epicanthic fold and shovel-shaped incisors.

brb only reason why americans watch this shait is due to the sex appeal of underage korean women. And the men look like they were raised by feminists.

Thats not the only reason otherwise it wouldn't be as popular as it is.

Havent you read the whole cultural significance of everything? Did you not read any of the dozens of fascinating aspects you numbskull?

You need to get slapped.

[retiredrunner]

That is a lot to read about a genre I have zero interest in.
At least you get a bump.

Seriously lol. Use your Wordfu for something half worth giving a fuk. Christ

[DamDirtyApes]

I speak for most non Kpop fans:

No appeal, charisma, aesthetics, hotness.

Only Mongoloids who look Asian dudes with long hair or prepubescent girls trying hard to be cool, charming and sexy like Western chicks but fail and only looking like pathetic wannabes with no originality.

They have perfected the art of being cute you say?

lol.

We say cute in an, awkward, weird, retarded, ugly way.

Don't even compare the appeal of the sexy French language to Korean language.

Doesn't compare at all with Britney, Jlo, many Western artists' original, creative, skillful, complex dance choreography. How dare you compare.

Are you serious bro those k-pop bitches are wayy hotter than Brittney Spears. You must be fke din the head son.

Ill fuk em even with their plastic faces

Brb 90% of south korean men look like they take the cock on a daily basis.

Brb most of these pop singers get plastic surgery to be more western

Brb sex appeal is the only reason why these kunts sell any records. Due to the beta *******s worshiping them.

No thanks jeff we don't need dumb kunts like you on the misc spewing you're beta music.



Like theres some deep cultural meaning LOL. Compete bullshait. Go jerk off to some underage looking women in some flashy music video where you don't understand half of the words.

Also its an example of how they are not as homophobic and not afraid to explore facets of androgyny and pushing the boundaries of style and fashion why still being swagged out.

actually they are homophobic. asia is still very conservative in that sense. they just have a different sense of style. in america being flashy and flamboyant is sort of a homosexual thing to do. standing out in america is not something you want. american culture is about assimilating as well as you can.

decent write up. k-pop seems to be only big in the large city areas with a lot of asians like nyc and la. why didn't you mention older big bang songs or hyori lee? they're sort of responsible for the blow up of k-pop.

I have over the past couple years become bored with Rap, Indie Rock and Urban Pop/Pop.

All I ever seem to be in the mood to listen to anymore is Trance/EDM and K-Pop.

The rest have become uninteresting to me, Ive seen it all. K-Pop is different enough of an exotic world that it keeps me fascinated and still triggers my imagination once in a while because its so different and unique.

It takes a lot to keep my brain interested in something.

Why not listen to Jpop? Or Disco better yet?

[BloodDiamond]

Japanese live in their own exclusive world and dont really make stuff that would appeal to me.

Yeah they are both Asian and exotic but they are worlds appart. JPop doesnt have any of the cultural nuances and relevancies the way the more evolved and modern K-Pop has which is why one is a global phenomenon and the other is only localized.

[jantelo]

Lmao can't believe you took the time to write this. Pretty interesting tho

[vtecaddict]
