Actually, I really want to criticize the poster...but please read my answer.
Japan and South Korea just follow the European and American style. Songs such as BEG’s Abracadabra are the most prevalent electronic dance music nowadays.
These electronic effects cover the shortcomings of singing skills. Can you feel anything after listening to it? I don’t believe these songs will be remembered in a few years. Because it has no meaning, it just attracts you temporarily.
There are actually many musicians in China, but if you want to question why there are no songs like your favorite. First, yes, but if you focus on Korea, or if you change the language, you won’t recognize the genre. Second, LZ, you can think about it yourself, whether all the songs you have now are obtained through illegal downloads, and how many domestic albums you have bought, then the answer will be obvious. It is impossible for a singer to produce good works without financial support.
Korean artists have been trainees since they were young. After being selected and then debuting, it is normal for them to be better at singing and dancing. Dances are always arranged by someone, and you can see that many of their singers will specially hire some foreign dance teachers, which ensures the diversity of dance types.
Electronic dance music first became popular in Europe and the United States, and then South Korea began to follow suit. China now also has many such songs, but I don’t think this is a good thing.
In addition, Korean singers are qualified just as singers, but when they cannot stand on the stage, they are nothing (some will become actors). Unlike Chinese singers, most of them are They are both good at singing and writing, and we prefer to say that they are musicians. Only the presence of musicians can guarantee the appearance of singers.
There is still a way for Korean singers to catch up with European and American singers. In Europe and America, rap is more popular. Just like Korean R&B is completely different from European and American R&B, not to mention that Westerners’ aesthetic views are different.
There is nothing wrong with liking Korean songs, but don’t be too blind. You should be more aware of the differences in music between countries.
I forgot to mention that some of the current HIT songs in Korea are also different, some are just saliva songs. I really have to admire the people who write lyrics and music. It’s really not easy to repeat the melody and lyrics so many times...
FT is also a rock music, but there are many types of rock music. You can check the specific music genres in the encyclopedia.
Electronic dance music is actually easy to hear, with a relatively strong rhythm and a large proportion of electronic music components.
Rock, it’s hard to say. It depends on the type. Generally, you mainly listen to the drums, and the chorus is usually more exciting==
For hip-hop, you always know RAP= =RAP+chorus
K-POP is easy to classify. Many Korean songs are K-POP...songs that have some hip-hop elements but also have the characteristics of Korean music.
It’s hard to say hybrid soul ==
Because like LZ, who listens to Korean music more, it’s difficult to distinguish. Many Korean songs are mash-ups, and the characteristics of the genre are not very specific. Obviously, it's hard to put it into a category with any certainty. Basically, there is no big problem with K-POP.
