anti-drops in kpop

(some of the clips are sped up and pitched higher, sorry about that! my editing software glitched haha)
"anti-drop" is a term that can be used to describe choruses that sound empty, it was sorta coined by charlie puth and i think it encapsulates how these types of choruses feel

Why are "anti-drops" one of the best drops out there though? XD

[@raerohan4241]

Because it subverts expectations, I guess? Or maybe it's because it's (relatively) new and fresh. I bet people will become just as sick of them once _everyone_ starts to use them

[@KhadaJhin04]

I guess because it just tries to match the vibe of the song and doesn't try hard to impress you with all manners of noise, and since it also relies on the vocals of the artists, it fills the song with more of the person you're listening to and again, like the person before pointed out, it contains surprises.

[@beahartemisia5249]

It takes you by surprise. And the human brain loves surprises when it comes to music, art and drama. Takes us out of the comfort zone, but in a good way.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭ “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless y’all!

My opinion: Some songs really can get boring because of the anti drop, I had a really hard time getting into 'stay tonight' when it was first released. But I think kpop is really good at working with anti drops, they don't make it sound so boring and it is actually quite energetic (and it doesnt sound so repetitive) even thought it's not drop like it is usually, or a person wants. (For me pop songs don't really know how to make the song not boring when using anti drop (except Charlie Puth who's songs are probably one of the only ones that actually stills sounds not boring or dry, repetitive with anti drop)

the fact that hui and wooseok made one of the best antidrops in all of kpop makes me happy to be a universe

Shoutout to the CARATS who always filled that antidrop silence in Seventeen’s Home with their IMPECCABLE fanchants. Those are legendary stages not just for the performance but for the talent of the fans as well!

when I hear antidrop I always think of golden child’s one (lucid dream), it’s the perfect example. Give it a try and you’ll see why

[@margaridaalves3923]

Yesss one (lucid dream) is so good also "cool cool" has an anti drop overall golden child uses many times anti drops and I love that!

No because that drop actually gave me goosebumps. Really.

[@urichilll]

me too lmao

[@binnieskywalker7458]

and whats really cool is: the first chorus hits hard because of the anti-drop (as explained in the video), but the second time around, the just skip the chorus entirely and go straight to Marks rappart from the buildup. And that, my friends, is why Marks rap hits so damn hard - you never expected it, you just expected the chorus again. Oh, and because he's a fantastic rapper of course.

[@Snake3yesEddie]

In the example used for Loona, I wouldn’t have even noticed that it was an anti-drop until it was pointed out. The use of that few second delay 1:32 tricks you into believing there was a full on drop when there wasn’t, kinda clever.

[@saythenameseventeen6811]

bruh now I know why I'm obsessed with woosung's face. the chorus is heaven

[@Madame_Rose]

Okay, okay, hear me out though. The anti-drop is still a drop, it's just a drop of something different. The original drop was a bass drop, like everything got more intense and then the bass dropped an octave and the drums got deeper and fuller sounding. These anti-drops are choosing to drop excess sound instead, so we still get a drop that signals a chorus, but it highlights either the vocals or the dancing or some kind of interesting element like the whistle in BlackPink's song. Anti-drop is an okay term because it is the opposite of the original idea of a "drop" but I still feel a drop and that's why it still hits hard.
