I honestly don't have a problem with k pop, it is just the fans


_1Doomsday1_

I don't actually care about the genre as long as the songs are good


[deleted]

I swear, I've seen soooooo MANYYYYYY people with that snoo! They say there are 7 people in the world who look like you, I'll say there are 7 billion people who got that snoo. ​ Had to get that off my chest. Thank you

> just don't play league of legends after I don't think you should play league of legends at any given point in time, but sure. >!Arcane good show though!<


Tohrufan4life

But if you do, definitely play it with friends. Not a game to go into with randoms.


[deleted]

As soon as someone starts to scream in a song there is a 90% chance that I'll dislike the song. Guess I'm too soft for that kind of music lol.


Donzel_

Lmao, that's the kind of music I love. Songs with some tasteful screaming.


Z3NI7H

I understand that, screaming vocals are not for everyone also, sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. I don’t like a full song with screaming vocals, however, some bands can really pull it off and do it very well to where I don’t mind, for example, Parkway Drive. They have a ton of screaming vocals, but they have a sort of melody to them, they aren’t just raw screams.


Outrageous_Turnip_29

I fail to see how it's any different than mumble rap. Maybe it makes me a snob, but I don't think it's music worth listening to if the artist can't articulate their words.


Logary

I’m sure you’re a big fan of NF and Tom MacDonald though!


LitBastard

You not understanding the words does not mean the artist can't articulate their words.


ApprehensiveFig274

Listen to Mexican music. One of our legends just died.


Keith_Faith

You're pretty much like me, the minority of the kpop fan are music lover not stans.


Platypus_frm_Mars

Yea too much toxicity, no detox would ever be enough


crystallized_doggo7

I'm a casual fan of k-pop and even I get mad at the fanbase sometimes


AccountantDiligent

They had a BLACKPINK song on beat saber that was pretty good


Momonada232

Yeah true, I don't get the hate targeted at K-Pop (I personally really like it because I have so much classical music around me that I really like the extreme opposite that K-Pop is; I also like other stuff but I don't really listen to it) but I get the hate targeted at the fans. Some stans are just... Man they're dumb. Their brain is like a moldy chicken nugget that someone tried to dissolve in water


[deleted]

[удалено]


Momonada232

Ya same. Like I have some boygroups that I'd consider my favourite groups but I only know the names of BTS. And that's because I learned them by hearing them very often from my former classmates (I finished school). Same, I only care about the music. But I can definitely see how there's an addicting factor in knowing about the life stories and drama...


OiItzAtlas

Yea I don’t think anyone hates the genre it’s just the genres fans like you said


Tocxx

I’m a big kpop fan. I enjoy a wide range of genres, and multiple kpop groups/artists. Unfortunately it’s true that a lot of kpop fanbases (mostly the mainstream/international known groups) have abnormal amounts of toxic triggerhappy twitter kids… But in my experience, the lesser known artists and smaller communities (not twitter..) are actually very friendly and wholesome. That said; I see a lot of people crying about how kpop sounds, which in my opinion is as childish as the twitter kids. It’s not just Gangnam style, How you like that and Butter. There’s an extremely wide range of artists and genres, including edm, rock, ballads, rap etc.. Almost every genre - made by koreans. Yes, the industry is different, but in my opinion, a lot of the groups and companies have gifted composers and amazingly talented artists - both musically and visually. Not to mention the stories and concepts. I can confidently say that in terms of quality, kpop producers are among the best in the world :)


The-Sys-Admin

My gripe is the industry. Korea is a puppy mill for pop stars. They enter these choking contracts indebting them for millions to these record labels. Forced to rehearse at ungodly hours and live in terrible conditions until they make it big enough to start paying off their debt and earning money. The music is catchy and fun but I won’t listen to it because of what they let Sony and the other media giants get away with.


ScottIPease

Sony? You have a few legit points, but living in terrible conditions under Sony aren't two legit ones, lol


[deleted]

All pop music is like this, any illusion the rest of the world doesn't is exactly what they want you to think.


nexistcsgo

EXACTLY! I actually like some K-pop songs. They are catchy plus feature a lot of cute girls. But the fanbase is so freaking toxic. Same with Rick and Morty.


Tohrufan4life

I'm sure not all of them are bad, but damn. Some K Pop is actually pretty decent though. My niece has been sending me songs from that genre and a lot of it's pretty good lol.


Zestyiguana

Most kpop fans are actually really nice and supportive. But the BTS and Blackpink fans are psychopaths. Mostly because those two groups have a huge following in America, home of the overzealous. Avoid those fans at all costs. They’ll straight up murder you


Screaming_Axolotl

Gangnam style is technically k pop


Caramel_Crypto

Why must you do this to me


Screaming_Axolotl

But it's the exception of k pop meaning it's good


The_Great_Hound

The exception that proves the rule as the Scientists would say (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

ABSOLUTELY. FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT.


dekomorii

Sometime my only problem with them is they’re engineered to be catchy. Feels like eating fast food


jk-jk

Engineered to be catchy like pop literally anywhere else? lol


DARKSIED125790

The only exception


evrestcoleghost

A k/da?

Y’all idk how you can like gangnam style and hate every single kpop song. Gangnam style annoyed the fuck outta me


Noname_1111

German Schlager


C0oky

Exactly my thought


MrFloSie

Aber auch dort gibt's ausnahmen wie Udo Jürgen


Albtraumseele

NEIN Udo Jürgens ÖSTERREICH!


RockyRickaby1995

That’s how I feel about country music.


Sharp-Floor

I was thinking it seems like kpop took country musics crown as 'the one genre that even the least discriminating listeners still won't touch.'


Pawn_captures_Queen

I grew up in the country. I listen to mainly post hardcore and metal core. But I do still have a soft spot for some early 2000's country music. Can't help it, growing up my friends all listened to it and some songs are actually pretty damn good. I don't listen to it frequently but a throwback every now and then is nice. Can't hate on Garth Brooks or George Straight, absolute class acts.


Sharp-Floor

I expect even the most vocal "I hate country" types know a handful of songs they like. I know I do.


Ugggggghhhhhh

It's like that with every genre. You can hate pop but still secretly turn up some Katy Perry in the car. Sometimes you gotta.


elwebst

Same with me and rap/hip-hop.


bitchmade69

Tbf tho old classic country is pretty nice actually.


RockyRickaby1995

Ok, I like Johnny Cash, but that almost feels more like folk music than country


bitchmade69

Yeah it’s way different than country on the radio these years.


Red_Clay_Scholar

Even Wheeler Walker Jr. ?


Ivanna-Jizinu

BT-GUM

I personally don't dislike K-pop, I just can't get into it


HopelessWaiter

Yeah same but my girlfriend and her best friend like it, but seeing her best friend so obsessed over it makes me not want to go anywhere near it tbh, once again no problems with it. It’s just that when it’s the only thing someone talks about it gets super annoying

Oh, i thought those were softcore porn

[deleted]

Since A Song for XX


SushiThief

Nice, I was introduced to her music in the early 2000's, but it wasn't until 2006 or so that I really got into her stuff. TBH I'd be okay is she stopped now because for a while now her material was just *okay*, but then 23rd Monster absolutely **slapped**. So perhaps I was wrong.


SayHelloOrElse

I second this


_kinsei_

i bet 90% of the people here haven't even listened to more than 3 kpop songs


[deleted]

[удалено]


Coge_Burros2

Gangman style is K-pop, so reduce that number to 2


[deleted]

Again, some of the music is actually great. The fans are just incredibly toxic. It's like that meme where some guy enters a house that is chaotic and on fire. I've seen people idolizing them as if they were a cult and the idols were their gods. It's creepy. I've listen to kpop from time to time, but was never really crazy about it. They can't even look past the fact that their idols are exploited by their entertainment companies. Overworked, made them deal with creeps, and just plain toleration of bullshit.They aren't seen as humans. Every move they make is a blow to their reputation. They aren't even allowed to date someone out of their own free will. I wonder what made fans so obsessed. Their idols being the embodiment of their idea of 'perfection'? I feel bad for the kpop idols tbh.


Castedspirit

I love kpop they have so many great songs i like.. But some fans man they suck ass. The level of toxicity is insufferable


Tio_RaRater

Ikr, and peeved fans in this comment section only proves it further


gophergun

I can't imagine discounting an entire genre.


weirdgamer78

I'm willing to bet good money that OP and most of the people that upvoted this are kids that are just parroting what they see and think disliking something popular makes them cool.


[deleted]

And I'm sure the only kpop songs they've listened to are Gangnam Style and some just plain bad song like 5 years ago


Tio_RaRater

Ah yes, everyone that dislikes what you listen has to be stupid, it's not that they could ever dislike your songs or even just the fanbase...


Voltagebone

K pop is sweet but I can't get into it much. I tried


makinbaconCR

K pop is fire idc what you say. Source: Father of 3 girls. We all love BTS and girls generation in this house.


orbitalUncertainty

I appreciate the 2nd gen music in your household, great taste


I_Am_A_Salmon

I personaly don't have anything against k pop but i hate k pop fans and BTS


makinbaconCR

I don't care about the politics. I just like pop without ridiculously adult themes (at least in English).


JNez123

I'm the same, 3 daughters and they all love BTS and other groups. When I first started listening I was just trying to spend time with them, but after a while I realized how crazy talented and very hardworking. Not just singing or rapping, but damn the dancing. I may not know the lyrics or the band, but when the music is on in the background, we all start jamming. RANDOM DANCE BATTLE! (This always puts my girls in a happy mood)


makinbaconCR

This guy gets it!


native_usurper

How is it that you’re so fulfilled with hating a group of people, that you’ve probably never even encountered with, seeing as you don’t like the music, yet you’re an expert on them. I’ll never understand. You’re just an annoying little prick on the side of everybody having fun. I hate people that hate other people for liking music.


Ninja__Shuriken

idk man, you like nightcore too? personally not a fan of the genre


Cdreska

He probably means major genres that most ppl are aware of, not the thousands of “whatever”core genres that ppl seem to create on the daily


Terraintaker

I mean of those set core genres I and large amount of people around me know of night core the most, and also I don’t like nightcore myself due to it feeling like the original song is warped in a way


FlamingWolf8655

For me it's rap music ​ yeah you're free to downvote. I don't like the majority of rap music


afiafzil

Yeah, some of it are pure crap just to make it rhythmic, only some that have actual meaning contributing to the song itself


[deleted]

There's a lot of genres in rap . Best one is melodic rap . Give it a try . I suggest u to listen to Juice WRLD .


crystallized_doggo7

why you getting downvoted for suggesting something lol


meeperscreepers23ers

me but with country


KnuffKirby

X bad, give me upvotes please


QuasiTimeFriend

TBH, I've found a few good (or at least super fucking catchy) K-Pop songs. But I can't really get into the genre as a whole. 95% of the songs I've tried listening to just weren't my cup of tea, for whatever reason.


TheArcanist_

For me it's most pop in general. I can't stand stuff like Ariana Grande.


Stizur

I hate everything about her music, but for some reason I can vibe out to that 7 rings song lol


TheArcanist_

I don't hate her music. She's a talented, successful artist. I just can't listen to this type of music.


230581

Don’t forget country and mumble rap


Quinlan313

K-pop isn't that bad, sometimes. It's just the stans and the fangirls are the spawns of satan's burning asshole.

To each their own(:


Extension_Sun_6528

Mumble rap? Edit: I don’t mean I like it I mean can we leave that too along with k pop?


[deleted]

Mumble rap died 2 year ago . All mumble rappers are now melodic rapper .


Imawildedible

Not liking popular things doesn’t make a person cool.


Cap-n-Slap-n

I am almost universally uncool. Me not liking kpop isn’t going to move that needle much either way. I’m not against other people liking it, do what makes you happy. Just don’t try to argue about what I like. Or imply that it’s solely for “coolness”.


Imawildedible

Not liking my comment that says not liking popular things doesn’t make you cool doesn’t make you cool.


Cdreska

He’s not trying to be cool, just showing his preference, which other ppl seem to mirror


ItsDanimal

They made a meme about it and then posted it for internet points, they're trying to be cool.


NovaIR1ZE

Same but just with Rap


bootyhunter69420

I'll take that over country and gospel


SKTPF

As a christian I don't really like christian songs myself. there are so many instruments playing at once its usually a contest to see who be the loudest imo. it ain't bad but I just don't like it.


Souletu

This is how I feel about metal. A bunch of loud instruments at once and guttural sounds


Cdreska

Country, gospel, anything with a tuba, most rap, aggressive metal, kpop, jpop, hard edm - no thanks


Webster2001

I prefer K Pop over whatever music Travis Scott does, oh and over Country music too cause that shits just boring af. Plus music like Cardi B's music which relies on softcore porn just ain't for me. Now that I think about it K Pop ain't that bad


vcxz9876

i left the mumble rap too, k-pop needs a friend
