Death of noise music?

I've noticed a trend in K-Pop nowadays; noise music is dead. In the mid-late 2010's up into quarantine era, noise music was everywhere, think Stray Kids's title tracks, NCT 127's Sticker (the epitome of noise music), Kick It, Aespa's Savage, Blackpink Boombayah (somewhat) to name a few. However, in the last year more refreshing songs are the trend; NewJeans, TWS Plot Twist, ILLIT Magnetic, ZB1 In Bloom, etc. Seeing this switch at the height of a lot of BGs careers, I wonder are fans finally moving away from noise music or is this just a trend?

Thank you nj for saving my ears

lol in all seriousness, I don’t have a problem with louder, more bombastic, more rap-heavy songs, they just need to be well executed and not get on my nerves for whatever reason lol, which unfortunately is a trend that many songs in the past decade fell victim to if i had to endure so much trash in my kpop journey for such a long time, then other people who don’t vibe with this new current music trend can stuff it and do the same without being bitter, whiny bitches

I agree, noise music can be amazing when done correctly. Stray Kids TTATH is one of my favorite songs of theirs (although the 3RACHA producer tag terrifies me for some reason) and is definitely on the more noisy, experimental side of their discography. I do enjoy the newer songs though, it's good background music. As a noisy bg fan I think it's good for trends to switch up, it has really broadened my musical horizons.

Was noise music ever really in? One song (Next Level) did very well and then it was copied by flop after flop

Eh, for GGs it may have been a one time thing but with BGs its been around and successful, despite the actual quality of the song. I wouldn't know though.
