YUKIKA (THE K CITY POP GURL) NEEDS TO MAKE A COMEBACK ASAPPP

[@justamultifanperson]

FR

[@marynapasko9627]

Agree! I hate the fact that city pop was kind of a fase for kpop. I can see why it became annoying because of how overused it was, but for Yukika specifically it sounds very authentic, I can't imagine her making music in some other genre

[@thriftskull5549]

[@si_multifandom_ch_5099]

Yes plsssss

[@memorablename69]

Try Dimension by TripleS (I prefer the AAA version since it feels more dreamy than the KRE version)

[@vixxexo6855]

I feel like maybe Loona can do that and most of them are in Jaden’s company again and they used to do some dreampop then. Also Triple S gives me those vibes. By boy groups I can think TXT do that again and feel like Enhypen can also do dreampop.

[@cheshire8767]

​@@vixxexo6855what did you think of the oec album?

[@pidgeongguk8818]

I wish more kpop used acoustic genres, esp, Bossa Nova. Mamamoo are the queens of this, but I’d like to see more groups use it!

[@annacarollina7703]

i really wanted a full on bossa nova song from rv 😥😥😥😥 but also monsta x is the one bg i listen to that delves a bit into that once in a while (because of u, white sugar, sweetheart, party time, heaven are some i can remember from the top of my head)

[@hana-qs3xj]

you should definitely check out the album modern times by iu if you haven't heard it already! the whole thing is acoustic/jazz (specifically influenced by genres of jazz that were popular in the early-mid 1900s), but havana and obliviate specifically both have a lot of bossa nova influence. the whole album is great though, esp if you also like gypsy jazz and swing too.

[@pidgeongguk8818]

@@hana-qs3xj Oh yes, I adore Modern Times!!! One of my favourite IU eras, for sure. I love Stella Jang's work a lot too because of the similar genres

[@periwinkleadidas]

one of the few kpop bossa nova songs ive ever come across is you and i by alice (formerly elris), it is so soft and sugary and organic, i highly recommend that bside if u get the chance

[@mwyz]

I want more citypop tbh. Don't get me wrong, I like some house/bass-heavy/"noise" music too, but honestly most of my non-kpop music is on the chiller side. More dream pop would also be a good option, but I almost think citypop is more likely because it seems easier to dance to.

im anticipating so much uk garage, dnb and jungle after new jeans latest releases

[@haggisbarbie2541]

uk garage will definitely become popular because of pinkpantheress since korea is always 2 years late to every western trend, i predict pinkpantheress will eventually have a few clones starting this year! newjeans are the first to kinda tap into the sound with "super shy" & im sure they'll be credited in SK for discovering/popularizing "tHiS fReSh NeW sOunD" 🙄

[@yesiamaisey]

Well as what I knew about it, an era including Y2K have so many bits of pieces that made it iconic and nostalgic either both fashion, music, pop culture, etc. that made the whole idea bigger and varied than what we already knew about it. It's just the fans were so pressed about it, but it's just fine for that concept not being "owned" by few artists regardless who did it first because any idea is wider and bigger than what we thought. It's a trend that may come from anywhere more than what we thought where it started probably influence from the west knowing companies also get services from foreign music producers. It's fresh to consider pointing out that producers choose to stick on genres like UK Garage Beat, lo-fi, drum & bass, etc. making it newer than the usual sound that we hear in the industry lately prior to this. Still the whole concept has many things to explore more than being "owned" by few artists. It's more of how fans see it and how mature they are to notice it.

[@si_multifandom_ch_5099]

I’m one of the first people who want more KPOP groups to make uk garage music so bad but it is going to be annoying for sure to see so many Bunnies claiming every groups copied NewJeans just because of this sound lol

id love to hear more numetal influence in kpop. the only kpop song i can think of in this genre is guerilla by ateez, but i love that song, and i think it shows how a sound like that could work in kpop.

truthfully idk anything about numetal but i'd like to suggest these songs to you tvxq - dangerous mind tvxq - free your mind tvxq, boa, trax - triangle traxx - paradox traxx - on the road

[@cosmicdream17]

Have you listened to Odd Eye or Vision by Dreamcatcher?? I think both are incredible examples of Nu Metal being revived and mixed with other genres in Kpop

[@shadowofthemoon3104]

Dreamcatcher, of course, have been leaning into the nu sound with recent comebacks but going as far back as Diamond Undercover - A.C.E. is a SUPER good example and one of the best songs of all time Attention please, Karma, and Blessed-Cursed - Enhypen Dionysus - BTS We Like It - JustB New Dayz- Trendz (Leez from Deukae/Ateez is the producer here)

[@FranDurstYeah]

K-Pop has been Nu since Seo Taiji & Boys in the early 90s, so if anything a Nu Metal revival in K-Pop would be going full circle! Check out these songs: Classroom Idea, Anyhow Song, and Must Triumph And these Seo Taiji solo songs: FM Business, Feel The Soul, Come Back Home (02 Remake)

[@y.bowcat7782]

the first and second shinhwa albums as well as the fourth and fifth HOT albums are full of weird metal influence for anyone looking. there's nu metal songs, there's an industrial metal song in there, sometimes the song is completely normal and then there's guitar chugs and screaming out of nowhere. sometimes it's just a pop rap song on a really good fake Timbaland beat. they're really fun albums!

I appreciate this is more work aha;;; but i think it would really help elevate your videos.

the reason I don't do that is because I also can't explain them very well outside of my own mental notes 😭😭 but for most of these genres I've made videos explaining what they are if ppl r interested

[@nikolairalowicz3392]

Big agree with all of these. My inclusions would be psytrance and gregorian chant (think MAMA by Exo, Confession/The Prayer by B.A.P). I'm so glad synth is popping off in kpop it can be used in so many different concepts i.e synthwave, synthpop, dark synth, etc. Love me some noise music

There’s not a single dream pop song in kpop, those were indie-pop. For reference cocteau twins are the epitome of dream pop. And loonatic is straight out pop, synthpop and alt pop, something that would fit perfectly into grime’s art angel.

[@zebles200]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@joaquincollet4291 Sympathy by Shin Jimin is dream pop including the rest of her Boxes EP. Also To. You by Dreamcatcher has strong shoegaze influences so I think that counts too.

[@yvesprofen]

​​​@@joaquincollet4291at's because cocteau twins literally invented and perfectioned the dream pop sound back when it wasn't even separated from shoegaze, loonatic is clearly not as classic dreampop and has many alt rock and upbeat pop elements to not make it to niche and weird for the audience not used to that kind of sound, but it indeed has a major dream pop feeling and elements such as dreamy vocals and synths, and obviously the distorted guitars (in the dreampop/shoegaze way) something you rarely find in other kpop songs and even within the other examples given, i think loonatic is the most representative song of this genre, alongside with borderline by sunmi in the shoegaze side

[@remina8205]

Don't know much about genres but the dream pop immediately made me think of BDC - Moonlight. Heard it randomly in an intro of some video 2 years ago and was immediately in love. It still feels so otherworldly every time I hear it. Just a random recommendation for anyone who might be interested : 3
