Kpop is technically a genre itself, but my question is about other genres used in Kpop. Like: Jazz, RnB, Pop, Dance etc. I read some interesting debates on social media, sadly that's part of my job, that's why I read a lot of toxic comments, but I read an interesting take on Kpop songs and why most of them aren't popular.
So here's the question, and be honest! Which genre do you prefer in Kpop? - Answer in the comments!
Do you think if a song isn't catchy, it's a flop?
I love every genre, except techno and other genre like that. In this case, FLOP means not CHARTING in the TOP10! There's no reason to talk about personal taste, because it's different for everyone. For example, I love ballads, but most Kpop fans, love the typical dance Kpop songs.
Here's two example, one was a huge hit and the other wasn't.
MAMAMOO's Wind Flower is probably the best example when a group releases a fantastic song, but wasn't a success as it should've been!
And there's this song, that was a mega hit, all around the world!
I choose these songs, because it represents diversity in Kpop, also I don't want to compare songs from different groups, because this isn't about that.
Wind Flower isn't a catchy song, but it's a nice RnB (almost like a ballad) feelgood song, and Egotistic with its Latin and a bit of reggaeton influence.
Do you think the era of "catchy dance songs" will end eventually? Eras changing in Kpop too. There were times when ballads ruled the charts, or RnB, Hip Hop songs, even trot, and now, it's dance songs again. Do you think it's good to ignore songs that aren't in the TOP10 or in the Charts at all and call them flops? I've seen a LOT of people saying, they only care about TOP10 songs, and everything else is basically a flop, or bad. That's why I opened this thread.
