The kpg experience

haseul
NCT U - Boss is a triumph of composition and choreography

chorong
are we... live?
produced by the colleges?
haechan is pretty cool.
wtf why are most loona members the low budget versions of existing idols?
hyunjin = discount tzuyu
heejin = (this one's actually an upgraded eunha)
haseul = talentless obligatory monolidder
vivi = busted goo hara
yeojin = juvenile miss a min
kim lip = unremarkable
jinsoul = morelike jin-ghoul
choerry = ugly bora
yves = bootleg sulli/ upgrade nayeon
chuu = down syndrome
go won = actually she's alright, i think it's safe to say everyone loves go won.
olivia = korean hime-sama
looks aside, loona music is pretty good

take one
hot dog feel like i wear goose goose
?
half of your comparisons dont make sense blindbro
lmao
high quality post
>colleges
someone give this boy a brush
Nice mohawk
the lyrics are open to interpretation allowing the listener to divine their own meaning from what appears to be (on the surface) complete shit
how is mamamoo destroying so hard
what's he laughing about
why did they electrocute rat and sehun and send them out on the stage
empty house
JUST
never really gave much thought but you get the point
laboom~
i'm retarded and spellcheck can only help me so much
oh yikes, he's even worse
at least xiumin looked good
he looks like bakugo from bnha here kinda
*listens to the first 12 seconds of girl's talk*
*switches to a better song*
They deserve it.
I know their songs are vanilla as fuck but I think the industry should encourage idols who write, compose, produce, choreograph, etc.
>loonashitters get banned for posting loona
>switch to gaypop
i can't think of a single interpretation of "hot dog feel like i wear goose goose" that makes any sort of sense at all
they always have good digitals because they're a vocalfag group and ordinary koreans feel like that makes them superior enough to most kpop to listen to
next album is hardcore punk concept please anticipate
welp that's a lot of hidden posts
stop laughing pcy
we like sad boys here?
youtube.com
why does this middle aged man still look like a choding
chewy looking like a goddess
kim hyunjin
you're joking but out there somewhere is a girl praising scammer for his songwriting abilities
he looks like he has winwin's elf ear there
>"Starry Night" (별이 빛나는 밤) Lyrics: Kim Do-hoon, Park Woo-sang, Moonbyul Music: Kim Do-hoon, Park Woo-sang Arrangement: Kim Do-hoon, Park Woo-sang
?
what
i originally thought he was saying 'duck duck feel like i wear goose goose' which kinda makes sense
not really though
Being an idol is difficult, you can't just forget Olivia past behind. Yvesen if you take all precautions to keep your past private, someone will Go Won and dig it up Chuu try and ruin your career.
>at least xiumin looked good
the state of ratshitters
do they do all that? I enjoy their slower stuff but when I got into them it was because of their bops
play play play ill play in the paris
sketch dirt dough im gonna eat your body
i sometimes meme about twice's visuals but if i saw them irl i would probably break my neck staring
kek that would have been equally stupid but kind of cute
it's the only fireproof way to never get banned here, regardless of what you post
sehugly tho

>Wow, did Loona projects knock it right out of the park in 2017 or what. Twice may be the new Girls’ Generation, sweeping sales, awards and popularity contests, but Loona are the new T-ara in terms of song quality, and “New” is quite simply the best k-pop song since “Roly Poly“. So, why is the song so good?
>It took a little while for me to figure out why I liked “New” so much. At first I thought perhaps it was the production lifting up an otherwise-average song, and there’s no doubt that the production here is masterful. “New” is a song driven by sparse, punchy 1980s style keyboard stabs in a short nu-metal style polyrhythm, with a few (but not too many) extra retro keyboard trimmings on top. I’d say that it sounds very 1980s but honestly it doesn’t quite, because this type of chord rhythm wasn’t really in vogue until the 1990s, by which time the actual 1980s sounds used in the song were actually very much out of fashion. I think it’s better that we get this song in 2017 where the songwriters can combine the 1980s textures with the 1990s rhythm in a way that never would have happened back then, and this is one of the reasons why k-pop does so much better than pop music from other countries overall (when it gets it right), it’s willing to mix and match retro elements from different eras more willingly than most western self-consciously “retro” experiments. Furthermore, any producer back in the 1980s would have swallowed up those chord progressions with way too much fucking reverb and bullshit because that was the trend of the day, so even if it did occur to them to use this type of rhythm it would have sounded like mush anyway probably. So there’s one reason for “New” being such a great song, but honestly 99% of k-pop is produced well these days, including almost every song on my worst list this year, so I thought to myself that it has to be more than that.
's sweaty feet
>talentless obligatory monolidder

>I started looking at the video for clues. Could it be that I was just attracted to the Sulli-esque charms of Yves and the video’s visual style? Well, the video is extremely well put together and her being pretty certainly doesn’t hurt, but then I could say all the same things about Chuu’s “Heart Attack” which has all of these elements plus even better production than “New” but I don’t like “Heart Attack” much at all. However I did notice something – in “New”, nothing is ever still. The camera in “New” is always deliberately in motion, speeding up during the climaxes and slowing down during quieter moments, but it never stops at any time. (This is actually a very common technique in music video making, the erratic tracking of NCT127’s “Cherry Bomb” and the constant circular swirling in Lovelyz’ “Destiny” are examples where constant physical movement of the camera is used specifically to complement the feel that the song itself is trying to get across.) The video also mirrors the lyrical themes of progression and self-mastery (with the apple being either a Biblical reference, or a reference to Newton, but representing knowledge and discovery in either case), and the visuals of “New” are always in forward motion. This is all well and good, but does it make the song any better? No, not really – but the video and the song certainly seemed thematically in-sync so I wondered if there was a way that the song musically fit into the theme of the rest of the package.
>The song has only four chords, and these are Am, Dm, Bb, F – this never changes. The backing becomes louder and softer, rhythm and melody are given greater or less emphasis, but the harmony is completely static. So using traditional music theory functional harmony which would determine the start of the four-chord sequence as the root of the song, that would translate to i-iv-bII-VI… which mathematically means the song is tonally in “A phrygian” mode? [...]
i saw them irl and lmao just lmao
meanwhile ioi, gfriend, tts...
there she is
olivia is such a bitchy name
same with angelica and bianca
>no
why don't you love her?

>[...] The melody fits this as well, however the song doesn’t even remotely have the flamenco-esque “modal” sound that is present in obvious phrygian-raised-3rd pieces such as Dick Dale & The Del Tones’ “Misirlou” or any number of thrash metal guitar solos. So if it’s not phrygian, what is it – minor or major? Perhaps the Am is an anacrusis (or hangover from the end of the previous four) and the Dm is the start of the sequence, meaning that in functional harmony the song is i-vi-III-v, but that doesn’t quite fit either, the song’s melody has a joyous sound which is much more in keeping with major tonality than minor. Now if we’re talking major scales, then this would mean that the true chord progression is iii-vi-IV-I, so in other words the root chord or the “home base” of the song is the F major which is the last chord in the sequence of four chords. I can’t think of another example off the top of my head in any commercial pop music anywhere that fucks with a four chord structure in this way by making you wait for the key harmony for the first three chords (I’m not talking about intros, I’m talking about simple chords in the body of the song). As a result, because the song takes that fucking long to resolve (a three chord wait before the root chord hits for the first time is an eternity in any pop song sequence, let alone one where those four chords are literally all there is) the song constantly feels like it’s on a forward journey. This harmonic movement actually forms the conceptual basis of the song itself which is then also manifested further by the churning rhythms, a melody that also rarely resolves by skating around the root more often than not, and also is then reflected lyrically as well as thematically with the music video. “New” actually surprised me by genuinely living up to its name and being a new, fresh sound – there simply isn’t another k-pop song remotely like this anywhere right now.
is it true?
