The reason why ICSM and Latida failed...Kpop labels, LISTEN UP.

Interesting

I'm personally glad bp didn't follow the trend last year

I'm kind of hoping we all move on from the retro sound for now. Maybe come back to it in a few years. But yeah songs like Mago and Ladida were amazing.

I think it's over

Dance pop/Trap pop will reign Supreme in K-pop 2021

Was Dynamite retro? And I love ICSM!

Lol, ICSM was great!

80s music is my literal childhood as well and personally I think ICSM is a pretty perfect retro pop banger.

Not that I have an issue with the other songs you mentioned either.

There’s room for all...

And no-one’s messing up your childhood, pet. It’s not like those 80s songs have stopped existing! No-one’s holding you to ransom and forcing you to listen to current records over old ones!

They did it because of blinding lights and future nostalgia success.

Forgetting that bl made no noise in Korea. Dsn did decently in sk tho but nothing out of this world.

I guess you've never listened to Take on Me, Maniac, You Spin me Round, It's A Sin, etc.

80s music was also fast paced, yo.

I think Dun Dun Dance is a good retro song. It's a disco song about dancing.

Mago did not do well though, right?

I guess we differ in taste. I did not like Mago at all but I love both songs you mentioned as fail.

Sorry, but what is ICSM? Apologies in advance for not knowing.

Okay. haha, sorry.

ICSM's a bop!

You don't like Blinding Lights and Physical?

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

OMFG.

You know Maniac? It's a Sin? Lotta younger folks know Take On Me and You Spin Me Right Round but those other two songs are fucking classics that no one talks about.

Flashdance. Pet Shop Boys. Dead or Alive.

I miss that Pet Shop Boys Brit synth emo music so much. And Dead or Alive was SO FREAKING UNDERAPPRECIATED.

Why cant local music ever sound like this anymore?

I'm not that old, but I'm a huge Pet Shop Boys fan and I consume lots of 80s music. LOL PSB still release great music, Neil's vocals have aged beautifully and they have a loyal fanbase after all these years.

Heck, even Beat It by MJ was really fast paced.

I am sorry but M&M is the real garbage song, ICSM is a bop
