I miss when kpop wasn't too popular .. it was more fun and not so toxic

[@visualbeauty3427]

Back then in South Korea 1st & 2nd gen are having fanwars before until now especially Yunho ( leader of DBSK) was critical back then & almost died.

[@GenerationNextNextNext]

When Kpop was more underground, it left room for more artists to flourish. But it still had toxic fandoms. I never forget the horrible fanwars because of the oversaturation of Kpop groups. It was brutal, especially because music shows had much more viewership and would decide success, and you could only choose one group to get into those free shows. Nowadays, I would say that one whole group is monopolizing the market, making it harder for there to be variety, so the toxicity is felt stronger from one side.

[@CoercedJab]

Yup. Back when it wasn’t collabing with McDonald’s lol

[@rocioibarra8636]

[@yusukefuuma08]

Bcoz the old songs are pure kpop music style…. Nowadays a lot of song got a lot of influence from western song

[@hamodhossain4261]

almost every thing the old once are much better .. K-pop .. English songs .. Arabic songs .. movies .. games .. every thing now they take the easy way and the fast way to Finnish the job for money only that's why it doesn't has the taste and the feeling it has before ( plus : the people who create those things before are wise grown men and experts .. but now .. its just a bunch of teen punks and non expert collage students )

[@janelleloyie7376]

@xgummibearx don't need to take someone else's opinion so seriously. Why so pressed? 🙄 Kpop before was much more unique sounding before. And that is a fact. Don't get me wrong, kpop groups nowadays are incredible and there is still unique music coming out. But there's nothing wrong with someone reminiscing and missing the earlier eras. Plus when kpop was less popular 10 years ago, there were much less toxic fans. Again a fact. Not an opinion. Yes there was definitely still toxicity and fan wars. But some aspects are so much worse now than ever. Cancel culture definitely has a large part to do with it

[@pyonpyon5302]

Agree

[@billliealim]

@@yusukefuuma08 i agree with ur first statement but not with the second bc I think kpop songs has always been influenced from the west since the beginning. It’s just that nowadays, I would say kpop songs focus too much on dancing that the quality of the music starts to deteriorate. There’s just too much overwhelmingly loud instrumentals and a lack of balance b/w singing and dancing

When I saw songs from 3rd gen groups on the list, my immediate reaction was "that's not old!" but realized a split second later those songs were released literally 9-10 years ago and are certainly old.

Even tho I don't consider 2011-2014 old, this 2007-2014 era is probably the best era of kpop. So many hit songs, so many different concepts. We were able to enjoy every single group in the industry (at least until the 2012 debut-boom). Every song was catchy, very different than the noisy k-pop that is the 4th gen. (Btw, some of these groups are actually part of the 3rd gen, like AOA, BTS, EXO, NU'EST, BTOB. Even APINK were considered by the media, at that time, the "next generation groups")

[@nico_t_ne6708]

I know it’s that I made this video 2 years ago when I was brand new to kpop so I couldn’t really differentiate who was 2nd or who was 3rd other than oh anything that was a hit between 2007-2015 ish is 2nd gen

I thought i was the only one that feels 4th gen songs noisy, especially boy groups. Not all but many of the bg songs sounded like non stop chanting/ cheering you hear at sport stadium. 4th gen gg on the other hand, went heavily on edm, girl crush type of songs most of the time.

[@erismalaj6944]

@@kayuberuti So true about boy groups. All i hear is a noisy sound and tons of rap by Male Groups. You can't even distinguish one from another. Before each group had its own sound. The moment you heard them you knew it was the x Group's song. Shinee, Beast, BigBang, SJ, DBSK, 2pm, Mblaq, Ukiss, Exo, Got7, Old BTS, Infinite and others. Each group had sth new to bring. Girl Groups are still having a bit of variety in music genres. But i wouldn't say the same about their looks and style, which is similar to one another. Some groups that are very distinct now is Twice, Gidle, BP, Aespa, RV, Dreamcatcher, Itzy mostly.

[@dr.v.2301]

@@mocacola22345 Yo veo que es lo mismo que ahora en cuanto a manejo de grupos y conceptualizaciones; incluso diría que eran menos exigentes en calidad tanto vocal como de baile. Y si no era tan visual es porque no se había popularizado aún las cirugías plásticas y las redes sociales con sus estereotipos imposibles. Pero que había superficialidad la había. Lo diferente es que en esa época la moda era distinta a la de ahora y la música popular también. En general se trata de eso, ¿no? De buscar captar el gusto popular... Siempre fue y ha sido así, por eso se llama k-pop. Y, siendo sincera, pocas canciones me parecen buenas. Me acuerdo que cuando empecé a escuchar kpop me parecía poco musical, me tuve que acostumbrar xD Ahora lo tratan de adaptar a algo más internacional porque el púlbico se amplió y hay que convencer a todos. Por otro lado, la mayoría de música de la old school tiene una base electro-tecno muy marcada que se repite en la mayoría; algunas incluso suenan iguales. Me atrevería a decir que hoy hay más variedad que antes de géneros, aunque ustedes crean lo contrario (evidentemente por lo mismo que dije más arriba: el público se expandió, por lo tanto hay que adaptarse a más gustos). Pero siguen siendo pocos los buenos xD Aclaro que escucho kpop desde el 2012 y en mi lista de música incluía canciones viejitas de los 2000, así que conozco bastante de la vieja escuela. Pero hay que ser sinceros... El kpop siempre fue igual, solo que cambia a la par de lo que saben que tendrá éxito en el presente. Y obviamente el público se va renovando por una cuestión generacional... Es normal que ya no les guste el kpop porque no se identifican con lo que es actualmente, y también porque se encariñaron con lo que era en su momento.

There's a reason why the first 2-3 generations of K-Pop made up the Golden Era of K-Pop. Even though the compilation is missing many other songs, even groups/soloists like 9MUSES, INFINITE, VIXX, G.NA, B.A.P, SS501, UKISS, CNBLUE, FT ISLAND, Rain, etc. it also shows the uniqueness of K-Pop right before it boomed in the West. It's ironic how people argue that the Golden Era started only recently, or with the boom of a specific group, but let's be all honest and face it, it already happened between 2010-2012/2014.

I firmly believe 2006-2016 were the best years for kpop. All the greats were putting out music or stepping onto the scene. You could easily identify groups based on music as well as clothing style. Now almost everyone sounds the same. This weird dubstep rap trend has to end at some point.

[@dank2476]

Old Kpops were gems, never to be found again.

[@albinaildanova3366]

EXO, TVXQ, 2NE1 and f(x) still sounds modern to me

[@megosaur.]

there is just something special bout 2007-2015 kpop like the vibes are just right everything is just perfect no one can replicate that vibe after that era passed, at most a few more songs from 2016 had that vibe but thats all i want to rewind time and live in that era of music as a teenager and just enjoy life

[@Катя-з9у3я]

Sadly most of this iconic songs new kpop fans don't know

[@cecilelpt5808]

their lost

[@Hannamura912]

I miss when girl groups had multiple concepts instead of everyone trying to do the same thing, and I also miss when girl group members looked so mature and grow-women like (because they were and the majority was older than 20 with one maknae who was 18 at least, they had one minor at best), nowadays everyone looks like a baby (and they are, with oldest member being 18 to youngest being 14??? And most of them minors???) and even the adult idols still look childish for some reason

[@Sweet_Like_A_Jack_Rose]

I miss this era, back when the fandom is not toxic and actually more supportive towards each other (even if there's a battle of groups popularity example: back then Wonder Girls vs Girl's Generation vs 2ne1 but no fandom bringing down the others), kpop groups is more engaging in friendly manners, female & male idols cutesy interaction without worrying anyone shipping them, no obsessive shipping. No bullying news popping up everywhere. The song is actual song. Storyline mvs. 😭..I know that this era has passed now, I myself has grown older & don't have much time to watch kpop anymore. But I very much shocked how much kpop has changed these days, especially fandom interaction & that some kpop groups value the dance quality rather than the song quality. Also the excessively short & sexy clothes??? 🤨

[@lucianarafaela978]

I got you hahaha. That's also what put me off.. I used tp enjoy Kpop music until it become a trend that idol just focusing on dancing & using their prerecorded voice or they just simply lip syncing 😭 it just.. I prefer listen their actual singing voice even if it may be slightly unstable from dancing, than lipsync. Maybe it just me but I used to really adore idol for their ability to keep their singing voice stable while dancing the coreography.. to me it was showing more talent & showing more effort

2nd gen is hands down my favorite kpop era. Maybe just because I'm nostalgic, but I also just feel like there's not a lot of variety in kpop anymore.

When you know all the songs and at least the main points in the choreography- I almost cried at the end of this video 🤌🏻 IT WAS SUCH A FUN TIME. UGH.

[@ohjina7433]

На днях моя подруга спросила меня "какой возраст ты любишь больше всего в своей жизни?" я ответила ей, что не знаю. Мне скоро 21. И после просмотра этого видео, я поняла, что это возраст 11-13 лет. в В 2013 году я познакомилась с K-POP. Мне было 11. И следующие как минимум пару лет очень запомнились мне, как тот самый беззаботный период в жизни. Я помню себя в то время, когда не было работы, забот, ответственности. Я жила здесь и сейчас. Узнала 90% песен. Я их тогда слушала. Спасибо вам большое, вы заставили моё сердце трепетать и вспомнить о тех временах, когда было всё просто. Даже спустя 10 лет. Будучи взрослой я вспоминаю все эти песни, подпеваю и подтанцовываю.

[@LaLiKAju]

I'm always happy when I find NU'EST in this kind of videos, 'cause it means they really made history even when their company didn't support them enough, and disband them after 10 years. They'll always be one of the greatest acts in K-pop not only for their debut, but their story through these years.

[@tytrack2479]

I know why SM artists are more popular and stand out in this era from genre, vocals, music video quality, dance, concept, make up etc

[@chiereforest]

It makes me very nostalgic to see various groups with incredible songs and then see the faces and hear the voices of some idols who are no longer with us. What good times those were.

[@Majo-ul7iu]

i got into kpop at around 2008 and believe me, even if I still listen to a good amount of 4th gen, nothing compares to the eras that took place before them, the current generation may have surpassed them in terms of viewership, sales, audience reach but it was because of these idols/artists, musicians back in the day who made kpop a global phenomenon that it is today.

[@Iceechibi]

The fact that we barely had social media back then (forums, some youtube, etc.) and that these groups went international (especially 2NE1, SNSD, BIGBANG, EXO, and countless others) was INSANE. We should be proud the views we have now, all of these old songs would have had views in the billions if they were released today.

[@valerieverdier2559]

I also think Infinite has this place here. I don't listen their music but it was such an important group. B.A.P miss also on this list. Their beginning was epic. It was the start of the "bad boy" concept for rookies that was taken by many groups like BTS the next year. Personally, I miss U-kiss but I don't think it was an important group. I just liked listening to their music when I was studying back in time ☺ I also like VIXX and their creative concepts.

Even though Idols treatment by their respective companies were awful and the groups are recycled/manufactured, you cant deny the true talent in all of these groups and individuals.
