I am I've used this board about two months and not ashamed about that. What is appeal of this garbage called Kpop though? I listened to crayon pip and it was awful along with everyone looking horribly disfigured from surgery
>>65948043
this
wtf is wrong with you people, these fucking chinks are born subpar, get surgery done to look "beautiful" while in actuality they all look the fucking same, and learn a few dancing skills
wtf man they have zero fucking talent aside from those who can dance pretty good, but at that point they'd be in some sort of competition, not catering to horny depressed men
>>65948158
crayon pop is one of the worst kpop groups though
listen to some f(x) or t-ara
>instead of discussing music I like I'm going to discuss music I don't like and passive aggressively shit on people that like it
What is the point, OP?
>>65948158
"cute" asian girls. i'm pretty positive that's all it is, and trying to defend their shit music with pictures of them.
be glad they have their own containment thread and don't flood /mu/ with more shit than there already is.
It's serious.
Which is just fucking awful
>>65948228
some of them are fucking repulsive too
I like to imagine it's what lowlife weebs listen to because their simple minds can't begin to understand good music, yet they feel to embarrassed and shameful to listen to pop because their little autist society frowns upon it, even though they listen to it lowkey
>>65948249
HOW AWFUL THAT PEOPLE DISCUSS MUSIC THAT THEY LIKE
JUST
JUST ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!
>>65948264
It's autistic and cringeworthy.

those are containment threads, OP, the people who post on them don't post on /mu/ and who posts on /mu/ doesn't post on them
let the NEETs with yellow fever fantasize about cumming on generic kpop singer #798349's tummy, as long as they don't spread their autism to other threads it's all good
>>65948391
The only fucking variation between them are facial structures that you can't modify like head shape, forehead size, and ear size. That and there's like 35 plastic surgeons in that small ass country who use pretty similar techniques.
kpop is just a front for fedorist mlp furfags who need to tell everyone how much they're into girls when they're not. but of course it's gotta be asian culture. that and they're so fucking gross in real life no one would ever find them sexually attractive, so their "tastes" just so happen to be girls they'd never find where they live (asians)... cause that's why they're single!!!

>>65948264
>DISCUSS MUSIC
are you lost? (๑•́‧̫•̀๑)
Kpop threads are kind of a separate entity from the rest of the board. They're sort of a mixture of sexual fascination with Korean girls and something like an actual fandom for the music and the associated media (reality shows, videos, etc etc)
>>65948226
The toxicity of the Kpop industry not only furthers the parody of commodified music, but also that of commodified idolism. Kpop is a foundation to an even more illusionary form of the pervading spectacle in the future
>tfw I am a spectator in the society of the spectacle
It's depressed neckbeards doing what they do best, creepily oogling asian chicks. I'm willing to bet they don't give two fucks about the music and only like them cause they sort of look like real life versions of anime characters.
>>65950269

>you went in once looking for waifuposting to confirm your beliefs
Actually I've gone into kpop threads a couple of times when I started posting here, once or twice since after a podcast I like did a story on kpop and otherwise seen the ops and occasionally posts as I'm scrolling the main page.
Fuck off.
>>65948461
You can modify foreheads and ears quite easily though.
The problem i have with kpop boards is that they never talk about music. They just upload pics of female kpop celebreties, for other anons save on their fap folders.
Those threads have no place on this board. It should be on /s/
>>65948210
Lmao why is some kweeb pop group called fucking Function of X?
I don't go to /kpg/ much anymore except for when everyone is livestreaming concerts but I'll always admire how they're able to rustle the shit out of the rest of /mu/ with ease

>>65954165
How many posts do I have to read before I can say that the majority of posters don't discuss music?
Link me a kpop thread where the posters have actually discussed the music in an even somewhat insightful way. Just glancing at the thread up now, the closest thing to "discussion" was someone saying something was "surprisingly catchy".
>>65954465
nah buddy i'm not gonna play your faggy game, you're just going to shift the goalposts and rely on vague definitions of "discussion" to prove whatever preconceived notion you already have.
just the fuck up, stop talking about shit you don't understand and have no desire to understand.
>>65954465
kpop is the single genre w/ the most non-music related bullshit attached to it. All the 'drama' b/t labels and actors/popstars is really nauseating. It's like watching WWE but its music.
Its like a shitshow episode of k-on or something and then they play a song at the end and the next episode continues.
>>65948777
this actually makes sense
Imagine out of all the things ailing present /mu/ singling out a happy general that usually keeps to itself as the worst
Tfw /kpg/ are the Jews of 4chan
there needs to be like, a softcore erotic board to send kpop threads to.

>>65954527
Why do you figure I don't want to believe that the people of /kpop/ don't discuss music? I'd much rather believe that they're a legitimate music general but my past experience, the amount of people I've seen posting in threads like this confirming the same experience I've had and you dodging the request for evidence of actual discussion are why I don't believe they're a proper music thread.
I can assure you though, it's not out of some deep seated desire not to change my opinion of you guys cause I'm not that sort of person.
>>65954700
The problem isn't them invading threads or something. Hell, I don't even care that they don't talk about music but I wish they'd do it somewhere else cause there are SO many kpop general threads and it pushes music related threads off the main page/ top of the catalog.
>>65955001
same. you kpop guys should have ur own board. There's so much content that isn't music that it really shouldn't be here. Music is just the loose subject that ties together all the reality-show antics you all fawn over desu
>>65955001
Imagine out of all the rehashed shitty meme threads on /mu/ you focus your discontent on a general that typically only has one thread up at a time.
/kpg/ are literally the jews of 4chan.
>>65955071
Honestly I wish /kr/ would be a thing but it seems unlikely. Moot was getting request for it for years and never acted.
Altho Hiro seems much more open about making boards so maybe there's still hope. Either way I only really go to /kpg/ to discuss the music, the guys there have shit taste in other aspects of Korean media so I usually just talk to people irl about movies/dramas etc
>>65955094
I don't only dislike kpop threads being here. I also think meme threads should be on /b/ or something and that you guys and the western pop fags who waifupost about Lavren and Tay-tay (who are a much bigger problem because they usually have more threads than ye) should have like a /cleb/ board where ye can not talk about music separate from /mu/. I'm sure that other boards like /tv/ would also benefit from that.
>>65954937
Honestly you are going at the wrong times
I like kpop but it isn't a very complex genre so discussion is usually limited to when a new album comes out or when a music show is going on. In between those times its usually just banter.
>>65955207
Well surely you can remember a particularly good thread or something from when a new album was released? I promise I will be as open mined as I can.
>>65954937
nah buddy, with all the anti-/kpg/ threads being made on this board, I've realized that most /mu/tards just want something they can act superior over. It's the same tired shit, same criticisms every thread, no nuance, just namecalling and wannabes acting tough.
Yes there is some discussion of artists on /kpg/, a lot of it unrelated to the music itself. But whenever a music discussion comes up, people always chime in. /kpg/ moves about 10x faster than anything else on /mu/, meaning a lot of off-topic stuff like any general. But I'd say that the number of total music-related posts rivals any other thread.
>>65955233
I don't really feel like digging through the archive for something this unimportant
Most music shows are around midnight-3AM EST so if you really care just try looking at that time
Slightly related, is it still down for everyone else? I haven't been able to use it for like a week now.
>nobody has posted i.o.i - crush yet
it's no wonder they hate us
>>65955260
>nah buddy, with all the anti-/kpg/ threads being made on this board,
Honestly I think at least 60% of those are made by a /kpg/ bro he is just trying to have a laugh
>>65955263
the music shows are mostly between 4 and 7 am est
the only ones that are that between 12-3 est are mucore and inki on friday/saturday
>>65955263
ydon't play into that faggot's little game, I know you're trying to be helpful but I find that most of these antis have an agenda and will stick by it no matter what.
we both know there's plenty of music discussion and if he wants to find it, he will
>>65955263
Yeah nah I don't care enough to get up early in the morning to lurk a kpop thread. I'm probably just going to continue thinking you guys don't actually talk about music and post in these hate threads when the mood strikes me.

and you wouldn't have to go that far back for music discussion but it's hard to find anything specific in the archive, i just happened to remember that thread because of the mention of hepatonic scales
it's not about the music but about masturbation to the idols. they don't belong here.

So what separates this from 90s/early 00s boy/girl groups? The western pop artists had solid writers while this music sort of just perverts that same formula but with lots of awkward Engrish and sometimes embarrassing rap parts thrown in.

Thanks anon.
Glancing through the thread I'm actually pretty surprised. I wish I knew about the music being talked about enough to assess some of the remarks made but there are deffinitely a couple of people in that thread who seem to know a thing or two about music so I'm pretty happy to change my mind about ye. I'd still prefer if there was less shitposting but if threads like that are occasional as you guys have said, I'm happy to stop complaining.
>>65955691
I like it better because there are wider influences and tighter production, mostly due to it being more recent.
Not to say I don't enjoy Western classics like Nsync. I can't really stand modern Western boy bands though desu.

>So what separates this from 90s/early 00s boy/girl groups?
i love those to begin with, especially the backstreet boys, but the things that set kpop apart for me are it can borrow parts freely from the whole history of western pop without regard for their semiotic/cultural connotations (like there can be rock riffs and latin freestyle melodies in one song and nobody blinks an eye).
and there's a really melodramatic songwriting sensibility that i think comes from its being korean, which i think also contributes to how intensely "pop" the songs are
like for a classic example, if you listen to gee, every single part of that song is a hook
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ
>>65955714
>I'd still prefer if there was less shitposting but if threads like that are occasional as you guys have said, I'm happy to stop complaining.
i think kpop lends itself to shitposting a lot because there's so much besides the music to talk about, you know? idols go on variety shows, act in dramas and their personas get pushed to the front generally so the general moves faster because of memeing about those in between talking about the music
while with (say) /dark/ general a thread comes up only when someone has something to say about the music

>>65956831
I was under the impression that f(x) and T-ARA were tippy top thus those are theones I tried all three for, then I think an AOA song or two, and one by that BOYFRIEND band I think. I spent a good 10 minutes clicking and stopping tracks.
So you say that they do make k-pop that isn't offensive to the ears?
>>65957100
i think t-ara and f(x) represent the aggressively hooky idol end of kpop well
maybe kpop just isn't for you but you could try more relaxed songs too:

>>65957946
>>65958090
nah mate, I get your point though. But kpop is really versatile so it doesn't solely consist of bright bubble pop. A huge part of kpop listeners just likes that really energetic and catchy kind of pop, that's why you get f(x) and t-ara recommended that often. They're good at that specific field and I also think that you haven't heard enough of their discography.
I don't want to post my faves here, so I'll gonna drop some random kpop here, I would guess to be less offensive to you.
