niche/rare genres in kpop

sorry for the delay on the video 😭 who knew trying to keep a schedule was actually hard...

[yangyangdni]

i was thinking of making a video about hyperpop in kpop (or rather what ISN'T hyperpop 😭) so feel free let me know if its something you'd want to see

Idk if this is a niche or rare genre, but I personally wanna see more psytrance in KPOP. But I do agree with city pop, dream pop, and rawstyle, I wanna see more groups tackle those genres as well.

I think one of the reasons why we don't see a lot of unconventional/experimental genres is because of how modern kpop is intertwined with streaming culture. A song being more palatable to a general audience = more streams.

complextro is so so good, didn’t know there was a genre for it

[franklin_du_bois]

I wanna see city pop and more dark synthwave in titletracks.

[sooszn]

I BADLY NEED DREAM POP AND HIP HOP SOUL MORE IN KPOP SONGS

[dvwn]

ughh i love city pop and boogie so much

[averagenatsumep]

this!!! i’m also in desperate need of more jazz sounds in kpop… Especially Bossa Nova. i’m still feeding off of IU’s modern times album and twice’s alcohol free

[mercurykpop]

I always enjoy these kinds of genre videos because I either find new songs with a sound I really like, or learn the name for a sound I really hate lol

[heartfrill]

a genre i ABSOLUTELY NEED to see more of in 2024 is phonk!!!

[deathrockfairy]

We need more City Pop in Kpop! This is why I always fall back on Lucy, since they're so excellent at playing with this genre. Dream pop too, but more the traditional sound, not so sped up. And as many techno and synth genres as possible. Even the dark ones. Even darkwave and dance industrial. I'm here for it.

lee chaeyeon's comeback mini was so good omg. i think the producers even said that Don't Be A Jerk was the first kpop song of the genre that it was (i can't remember what genre it was). cool to know she's the only drift phonk song too :D

also random thought. i know it's not drift phonk but i like to think of I Don't Wanna Know and Itzy's Kill Shot as sister songs. they have the same vibe idk how to explain

[crescentwid]

dreampop is literally my favourite, i can't find many kpop songs just like LOONATIC and Ghosting

[mikrokosmoseulgi]

i betcha ateez could make an AWESOME hardstyle/rawstyle track. with some of their recent bsides i just know they could do it deep in my heart deep in my soul

[ALien_Squ]

Speaking about hip-hop in k-pop songs, I would recommend P1Harmony discography. They often add hip-hop motives (That's it, New Classic and so on)

[enaxtry]

I would love to see more groups to either explore or just build their discography on more hard/alt/dark genres, like Ateez is doing with "The World" series where they slightly touch even underground genres like industrial (not directly but the sounds is inspired by industrial genres in some songs and the concept is very much inspired by cyberpunk genre/subculture ). I'm not really into pop, rnb and like "softer" and "happy" genres but I understand kpop groups have to make what's popular among the majority of listeners.
Or like cinematic/epic rock with heavy orchestra, that would be awesome.

[Cakepopbunny]

I just know for a fact that aespa would probably eat drift phonk u0

[kattencata]

I dont wanna know by lee chaeyeon is truly my favorite song of this year! I heard it and knew i needed more, and then i couldnt find anything, its so unique in kpop. Its a soung i usually here in other spaces and then suddently it appeared in one kpop song

[vivisbestie]

i love synth too much and any song that includes it tbh

[tegar.gustian]

if you like complextro, i highly recommend "heartbeat" by TAN.
the beat-drop sounds totally sick 🔥
