Can we discuss K-pop a bit before someone moves this thread too far away from the gem that is "Dynamite" by BTS?washing machine wrote:Let's talk about K-Pop for a second. What is it, exactly? What elements are here that aren't in regular ol' pop songs? You could have told me this was anyone and I wouldn't for a second think that this song came from Korea or that the group that put it out was considered the gold standard for the genre.
I actually was shared a version of it in a PM seh recently, as luck would have it. I won't share the PM (that would be board-illegal) but I will share that it was in hyperlink form using the phrase "mickey was right"Norris wrote:someone post that mickey post about being able to objectively judge art

K-pop only differs from other pop in intensity. It amplifies the most banal and artificial elements of pop to truly otherworldly planes of Black Mirror terror. It has the power to degrade real people into unsettling denizens of the uncanny valley. Only the full might of a society completely wrecked by consumerism can pull off that level of Stepford Wivesian horror. Our fake pop creations can't hope to compete.washing machine wrote:

Beneath those pastel colors are Lovecraftian horrors beyond comprehension.

I knew it wasn't in GD but I'm truly astonished that this post was in a thread in PJChat. I would have bet my life that it arose from some interminable debate over whether NIN was more or less cringe than Modest Mouse.Norris wrote:thank youwashing machine wrote:I actually was shared a version of it in a PM seh recently, as luck would have it.
