are drum n bass & uk garage the same thing?

important links:

[ghntw]

dnb: kick-snare--kicksnare
ukg: kick-snare-shuffle-snare with hihats added randomly in between

[PinkySoda]

I feel like UK Garage tends to be bouncier if that even makes sense? That’s just what makes sense in my head lol

[KpopStuffs]

this is such an oversimplification and doesn't even get into the subgenres of each label but I hope it was useful to someone out there 🙏

[oliviam.]

thank you for this. ppl get so weird about what is or isn't a genre, but there's so much overlap in it sonically like sorry i called the fraternal twins identical, they kind of look the same sometimes 😭

[mura_sensei]

dnb is a stone and ukg is a pillow princess

[samc]

the transition from bloom to in bloom is killing me

[seokchrysant]

shinee is really ahead of time. the 1of1 album is from 2016 but still fresh until now

LOOP BY YVES AND DAY & NIGHT MENTION ILY ❤️❤️❤️

How I differentiate them is: if it sounds like Super Shy, it's dnb, if it sounds like Cool WIth You, it's ukg😂😂

[lovmelike]

uk garage is prob one of my fave genres ever

[cosmicinflation]

"crush" still feels new everytime I listen to it
They experimented and goodness it worked so well
Especially the bridge and the buildup to the outro
ZB1 and dnb is a match made in heaven

[DayeonLuv]

I really went from wanting SKZ to do more DnB when they dropped 0325 in 2018 to getting like 5 of their tracks be DnB/have a DnB influence within the span of a year. Winning is fun.

I'm all for more drum n bass in kpop, I wish it was more cold and epic like in Halazia by Ateez

[ineineineix]

sometimes it feels like we fans know more about genres than the producers do, like if any YG audio engineer learned about you and Wisp's youtube accounts they would probably bingewatch yall so they could catch up to us consumers

[amytobias]

As a British person the video title got me and I was about to rage lol but you did a great job explaining the differences!

[ghostofmisao.]

Okay uk garage has to be one of my favorite genres ever
every song for that genre i love sm

[rachaelever]

This was such a validating video. When both of these genres just started to pop up in kpop I realised they were both my absolute faves and immediately had to create my own playlists… but then I got stuck trying to seperate them by myself not knowing the subtleties. I’ve come a long way since then and feel like I’ve learned to hear the difference and it was so cool to see that all our picks matched up perfectly.

[dubchaengstan]

I was waiting for the speed love mention 😭

[mattveslino]

listen i love my louder, more aggressive, "noisier" hyperpop / future bass / edm-adjacent kpop as much as the next person, but dare i say both dnb & ukg have risen to the top of my ranks as some of my favorite overarching genres in kpop... i'm thrilled they're both currently having a conjoined moment and frankly i don't want it to end, like when i hear any group do either of these types of beats, it's like a switch goes off in my head that activates instant joy lmao

unrelated but lowkey vaguely and tangentially related my soty rn is impossible by riize which is about a hop, skip, and a jump away from ukg (i think?) given that it's capital H HOUSE

[yunshij]

Crazy how uk garage genre in kpop have all my favorite songs in it
