diverse discographies: the genres of nct

[@yangyangdni]

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT!!! 1) sticker, and most of the other experimental hip hop tracks included, are experimental while being mixed with another genre such as pop rap. i personally do not include pop rap (along with dance-pop) in my genre identifcations because those two genres are practically the foundation of most kpop songs and i think it'd be pretty boring to see those two genres listed for EVERY SINGLE SONG. this rule of thumb applies to every genre video i have made, so if you've seen a genre identification and thought "__ doesn't sound like real [insert genre here]" theres a 95% chance that's probably why! 2) i was kinda inconsistent with which live clips i did, and didn't include. the general rule of thumb was that i only included one or two performance clips and everything else was either taken from the smtown or respective unit's youtube channels. 3) there is full possibility that i have missed some songs, either in the masterdoc (linked in the description) or in the video! if i have, please let me know via my curiouscat, which is linked on my channel page. thank you all for watching and supporting me, i really appreciate the support i've been given and feel free to let me know what group/s you would like to see next on this series!

nct shopping at the contemporary r&b store: 🕺

[@jiungschocochip]

Not the likes being 127 😭

[@al3x4.07]

some of it is not contemporary r&b

[@lazyman7912]

and trap

[@비행기_14]

And electro pop

[@The_ShineDragon]

And quite a lot of Adult Contemporary & Soul

[@forchowall]

one of the only kpop groups to consistently make rnb music AND DOES IT WELL AT THATTT

[@ava1772]

fr tho. for me nct & exo make the best r&b music in kpop. lowkey shinee sometimes too. But nct is def my fave

[@notwerkinginthishouse8634]

​@@ava1772 Jonghyun is a king when it comes to making r&b music

[@jsts8056]

I think SM is the most consistent with recruiting Black R&B artists in the writing room. One of the writers for Baekyun's Bambi EP is a prominent R&B artist and songwriter. @@ava1772

[@NHATwhat]

And red velvet too! Basically all SM artists make absolute banger rnb music tbh

[@forchowall]

@@NHATwhat so true u could never go wrong with sm artists and rnb

[@34dollarze]

NCT is definitely a genre itself.

[@charmholic]

NCT-pop

[@everydaylis]

imagine not stanning nct, i can't imagine a life without them

[@dreamiesnoona6423]

Couldn’t have agreed more. And they had a slow rise. Nonetheless I am happy I stuck by them. They are my ults!

[@oliviaruvel]

not just as kpop artists but as just artists nct have really pulled throught alot of experimental sounds which i never imagined would sound good, its special to them and no one other than them can pull it off they're untouchable in their own ways.

[@samoyed.leejeno]

let's agree, nct have an awesome discography not just of a k-pop artist, but of an artist in general, not sticking to one genre and always creating a variety of colors. this is why i love nct and their music cause the possibilities are endless

[@Estrelando_Sophia]

Now I know that my favorite genre is contemporary r&b

[@serenight8599]

Same

[@ava1772]

"all nct makes is noise music" -delusional antis

[@amalitasofiasalsabila5414]

Hahaha 🤣

[@neonotcultured]

i think the reason why it's so easy to get into nct's music is because they're so diverse, especially with their bsides. it's always fun to find those hidden gems in their discography!

[@MoaArmy61304]

contemporary r&b + trap is so the essence of NCT, love all their genres but these 2 are my faves I think

[@aeblink1332]

i didnt even know twerk music was a genre 😭

[@tina127]

wow i can't imagine how long it would have taken you to listen through every single song in nct's discography and give them a genre, but well done and absolute respect to you

[@jooniekosmos2120]

Contemporary r&b is such a diverse genre because there are song I never guessed to be grouped in the same category together. Pretty cool.

[@neology127]

Most of the ssongs listed here as contemporary R&B are other sub-genres of R&B tho

[@TobysKpopTop50]

The irony of Chewing Gum being Bubblegum Pop never fails to amuse me. It's always the first song i think of when thinking of that genre, for good reasons.

[@alphestanley7194]

That’s why I love nct so much compared to a lot of other bgs. Their songs are soooo diverse but has their distinct vibe

[@chaoticegg_]

I love that like half their discography is some form of r&b while the other half is genres you've never even heard of

[@m.hol4229]

It’s so sad that they do all these genres yet they’ve been branded as a noise group who makes pots & pans music.

[@kuromikisser]

they really love contemporary r&b 🤭

[@Star_fish]

What I've learnt from this video is that all the NCT songs I love are usually alternative r&b, contemporary r&b, trap, neo soul, ratchet music & electropop.

[@voidd.4095]

2020 was something else fr,, all units put out bangers AND nct2020??! Crazy year

[@forchowall]

it pisses me tf awf when i recommend nct to my friends and they say they wouldnt want to listen to pots and pans.. well yes they make that music (and excellently at that) BUT CMON NOW. theres music for every mood every feeling everyone in ncity

[@acid6218]

Ur so real for feeding the nctzens with this

[@halley6927]

nct is the reason i expanded listening to other genres.. i used to just listen to pop or anything famous😅

[@seonne7333]

the only video we will ever need to link to people who claim NCT just releases 'noise music'

[@JuSophieRene]

I just fucking love NCT’s music…

[@vidv1924]

People keep sleeping on Wayv's dicography!! Go listen!!! There is not a single bad song. Specially Awaken the world

[@lovingcix9273]

contemporary r&b 🥹 i eat it up every single time

[@yuljiyong]

even taeyong's mini album alone had different genres 😭🔥

[@__Sunny___1010]

they do contemporary r&b so well

[@neonneo143]

nct trap 🔛🔝 it’s peak kpop really

[@briannaharvey425]

nct loves them some contemporary r&b - especially dream

[@whoarethesetwo6019]

Discovering NCT is just one of the best things that can happen to you as a music enjoyer 😌🎧

[@acelyatst]

NEO GOT MY BACKKK

[@JustMe-zc5qj]

I love how they use contemporary RnB, ectectro-pop, experimental hip-hop, trap (edm) and trap (hip-hop). To me they have one of the best discographies of 3rd gen kpop boy-groups. TYSM for making this video ^_^.

[@racheljohnson7177]

Majority of my fave nct songs are in the r&b or contemporary genre. Good to know

[@lolwhyamihere8775]

im realising especially in the last few years they've become even more r&b focused and thats probably why i love their recent music more than their older stuff. thank you for this video!! i've established contemporary r&b, adult contemporary and synthpop is for MEEE

[@aurorav1195]

There's not a single group with a more diverse sound than NCT

[@samvante]

NCT, quite literally, has everything. music, performance and personality-wise. the most diverse kpop group there is and yet people tie them to "noise music" without knowing just how much gems there actually are. doesn't matter what genres you like, NCT probably has almost all of it anyway.

[@allons_y1001]

Anyone starts going on about NCT making "noise music" or "pots and pans music", please link them this video! 😄 Also, I'm curious why DJ wasn't listed (in part) as funk. I mean, parts are sampled from Stevie Wonder's Superstition which is funk, isn't it? Thank you for all the hard work, Wisp! 💚

[@Arinaretina]

NCT’s discography is always something I’ll brag about as an nctzen

[@blink_____jenniequeen6670]

The amount of kpop stans who don't even know that NCT makes such amazing RnB tracks n ballads n not just neo tracks still surprises me 😮😮😮 the moment i heard neozone album I knew it's THAT GROUP 😌 i love their discography

[@sz7763]

Now i have proof that NCT not only make noise music. Thank you.

[@jekyll4656]

I HAVE SO MUCH THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS VIDEO OH MY GOD first of all, i’ve been looking here for very comprehensive videos about nct discography because i’m literally biased and somehow most k-tubers have repeatedly included certain nct songs only when there are a lot more that nct can offer so i just love how you’ve managed to bare every song in their entire discography! second is that i do know my cup of tea in songs but i’m very bad at differentiating genres (but also validating myself because a song most likely wouldn’t be limited to just one genre) so actually nct has proven that even a trap song (i used to hate trap beats) would be so lovely to listen to! but obviously i am a very big fan of r&b since then, i just didn’t know how wide their r&b set was since my nct r&b only included a bunch of songs! lastly, props to your transitions??? like it’s so smooth and satisfying like you really made me feel excited every time the year shows and the instrumental slowly fades in (especially the 2020 ‘cause god neo zone will never fail to amaze me) the video is just so satisfying to watch honestly so yeah i’ve been really a big fan of nct music and honestly it’s hard for me to listen to other groups nowadays because my ear has been so accustomed to the nct sound, and yet when they release songs i am amazed because they’re so good every single time! so thank you for this wonderful video that perfectly shows how beautiful nct discography is, especially to me that is a very huge fan of their music. thank you!!

[@tenshiyua6696]

Me realising I might like trap music after watching this. All my fav musics literally a hybrid of trap

[@nctthebest]

Their r and b is so good 😩😩😩😩😩. Now all those bishes who say NCT makes noise and bad music WATCH THIS VIDEO AND THEN I DARE YOU TO SAY THE SAME THING AGAIN

[@timothychua6077]

They should classified 'NCT' as genre music

[@minhodery]

this video taught me that i _really_ love contemporary rnb and new jack swing

[@Fomz135]

Nct makes one of the best songs from kpop

[@jvliawo]

I feel like with NCT, there’s a song for everyone in their discography, you just might have to look a little deeper sometimes.

[@axisound]

for me, every neo soul track hits hard thanks so much for such video, good to know how versatile nct is

[@user-cq7vi1ti4k]

need more electropop from wayv

[@pluto3603]

oh god i love nct discography so much

[@nahema9079]

trap (hip hop) and alternative r&b nct >>>>

[@fmalovegirl98]

I've been complaining that kpop is starting to either sound the same or its just becoming not that interesting, however NCT is one of those groups that still brings quality music, concepts and different styles that makes it interesting still. Sure, I do prefer the older stuff more than the most recent ones (like b-track wise) but still, every single unit has amazing tracks that deliver! Happy to be nctzen still haha.

[@acdhs814]

Really appreciate all the hard work!! However, I reckon there are a few mistakes (please don’t judge me if I’m wrong🤧): I don’t think Phantom ( 20:46 )is a classical crossover (?) but Try My Luck ( 21:12 ) is definitely a classical crossover (sampled from Mozart’s Requiem Mass in D minor, K.626: Dies irae). That’s Not Fair ( 24:21 ) is also a classical crossover, sampled from J.S. Bach’s Fugue in G minor, BWV 578. Other than that I really appreciate the amount of effort you put into making this video! This is such a great way to promote NCT songs and letting people know not all their songs are that ‘neo’ and unacceptable.

[@yangyangdni]

i didnt know about the thats not fair one so good spot !! i usually judge classical crossover based on whether a song takes conventions from classical music (such as the instrumental composition) which is why a song like outro: vision was written down as classical crossover, so for phantom the use of strings reminded me of a classical composition (?) as for try my luck i assumed that only the vocals were the sampled part so i didnt end up including that either (which is again my bad) but i hope this clears it up :>

[@herz11]

this should have more views !!! 04:50 transition is so smooth

[@cdpalmo]

contemporary r&b on top

[@Moonsgoblin]

This is probably one of my favorite discography videos of all time. Love this type of content!! 💚💚

[@fabi7500]

I love the 2018 techno and future sound like neo got my back or black on black. But if nct has one thing, then it’s diversity in genres

[@siera127]

this only tells me my fav genre is contemporary r&b and trap

[@linphailoy]

that’s why I love neozone so much

[@acaterpillargivingbirth]

I love these kind of videos 😩 and i really love that it's about nct, people really don't know what they sound like and it's sad!

[@valenti.nana.i]

Wow, I enjoyed every single second of this video, no one will ever top nct discography for me, by the fact that I love literally all of their 300+ songs, thank you for your dedication, I can't imagine how much effort you put in this, and I know already this won't be the last time I come back to watch it, you're amazing.

[@ccz2852]

people that do not know nct's discography lost in life

[@dianachernova9498]

I wish someday there will be the oh my girl version. their discography is so diverse and interesting

[@sove3335]

No wonder nct dream is my favorite group AND contemporary RnB is my favorite genre

[@rosy8772]

fav kpop group discography along red velvet!

[@heartsforpjs]

thanks to this i got to know my favorite music genre is contemporary r&b

[@lxlxxl6217]

2017 was nct’s year bro every song hit (but really they devoured every year tbh)

[@alissaw8308]

it’s funny how predictable i am… 😅 most of my faves are either trap adjacent, alternative r&b or electropop with only a few exceptions

[@lexouboo]

NCT neo soul songs on top !!

[@milloe]

This made me realize that I still have so many nct songs to listen to TT I'm missing out rn

[@AniMY_n_coMYC]

16:26 Wow, New Axis really good with Universe choreography

[@adrianaungureanu9243]

I fr didn't know so many of them were trap songs because it just sounds way better than trap from my country to be put in the same category😭

[@Abvgdejziklmnoprst]

Well its still kpop, even if trap

[@adrianaungureanu9243]

@@Abvgdejziklmnoprst well yeah, but I meant it as nct's songs are just way better when it comes to the instr. and lyrics then the trap songs "i'm used to"

[@pluto3603]

omg same likee 😭 most pf these genres i dont like, but when they sing it its just so good loll??

[@jmwwdyhdxjmkhctyrkys06]

i think i hv a thing with nct's contemporary r&b

[@thebaddestqueenczennie]

now i can show this to all the haters that says nct have the worst discography in kpop 😘💚

[@terryvassileva]

thank you so so SO much for making this compilation!!!!! it was such a joy to go through their ENTIRE discography like this and even learn something new about nct!! thank youu ahhh

[@johnjsuhs]

NCT 🔛🔝💚 they are so good with contemporary & alternative r&b omg but anything neo soul is so them as well . each unit with different music genres but together they’re NCT . I’m so proud 😭💚

[@tonmmm600]

i love the way you add even the collab songs here! also impressed with your talent to categorize each genre really well thank you for creating this!

[@martina6700]

So now I know contemporary and alternative rnb are my most loved genres, but trap, edm and hip-hop have honourary mentions because I would start jopping every time one of those songs appeared ;")

[@xfreja]

nct’s discography is just flawless

[@AshleyMenard122]

So trap, wonky, ratchet and electropop are my top NCT genre mixes. Cool!

[@raysanny.]

OMG, the hard work! I would love to see a video like that about ATEEZ. Thank you for bringing such high quality videos!

[@lauveangelis]

Me too !

[@rabbizz4318]

This is when great music was given to the right artist. They make it their own genre with their voices. I really appreciate your dedication here ty 💚

I love their music for its various colours. Thank you for this video!

[@Mermelada20]

You missed "welcome to my paradise" by Wayv

[@zetsubou-chan]

I always knew I liked the rnb, house, electro, funk and synth type of sound but this video made me realize I really need to do more research into ratchet music!

[@forchowall]

does anyone have more neo soul recommendations both in and out of kpop pls nct’s neo soul music are my jam

[@imnotreal62949]

exo - day after day

[@judy1519]

2016, 2018 and 2020 hit differently damnnn

[@maggiidgaf]

if you listen to nct, you don't even have to listen to other artists because their discography is insanely versatile

[@lipasketch]

So interesting! This is amazing! I would love to watch one of these videos about Monsta X's discography, their sound evolved so much, it would be interesting to see if it's related to the music genres

[@hyukas_favourite_plushie6037]

I think I ult the Dreamies becaus their music has the 'fun' catchy style,whereas WayV is kinda a bit more mature and 127 grows on you

[@mayapaladin1058]
