Kpop thought 2

    nothing wrong with non experimental song.... When people say non experimental it does not mean the song is bland... A song is bland when it falls flat and there is nothing memorable about it in particular.... If a song is going to be on a same level throughout then atleast the melody should be memorable and great, or another factor which makes it stand out.



    I will give you an example, take suga's solo Seesaw for example... The song is not really experimental, stays in low with the vocals and nothing out if the ordinary structure wise... But that is one of the best kpop song to ever exist and far from bland... Why? Because even though there is nothing out of ordinary going on, the melody is so unique and captivating, and adding adora's beautiful mellow vocals with yoongi's low tone works perfect. They make it stand out using other elements which adds to the song and does not let it fall flat at any pointers


    A song can be non experimental and still not be bland and amazing in every sense....

    And queendom is far from being non experimental actually...

    I've always said one man's trash is another man's treasure


    words flying around include boring, generic, noise, experimental etc etc


    which really just boils down to - I gave the song a listen and it isn't for me...

    what's experimental about it? It's a nice pop song

    even though its not your typical RV experimental, its still way more experimental than most others.. a nice pop song wouldn't have verses that sound this hollow, also the vocal processing on certain members is also a very interesting choice and way different that their usual.. also the song never does not stay on the same level to be called "bland"

    hmm what you're describing is how normal pop songs are made, every pop song has it's own flavour but that doesn't mean they are experimental.


    For example, Billie Jean has a normal pop song production; that doesn't mean it's bland, not at all actually! It has everything in it, like violins, harmonies ect, but we wouldn't call that experimental.


    Bohemian Rhapsody, on the other hand, has three genres mixed in one seven minutes song, those genres being the ballad, opera and classic rock. That's experimental

    I am talking by kpop standards, queendom isnt your typical pop song either..

    its pretty different than a normal pop song.. structure and genre change isnt the only thing which can constitute changes, instrumental choices like the brass used in queendom can make a difference too but okay lol ~~

    This is interesting.


    For example, ITZY did really well with MITM even though it was controversial in terms of musicality.


    In comparison, LOCO is much more safe sounding, it's a good song and it has a clear message. But it didn't do as well as MITM. strange times.


    Also, Next Nevel is a rather experimental song but it really blew up. Even compared to black mamba, which I like better, and think is a more cohesive sound.


    I think it's a new trend right now and might be here to stay for a while.

    ehh well It's your opinion


    I think than most of the songs produced by large Kpop companies are well made on the production level

    yes, also a new generation is listening to kpop right now (the late genzs) so maybe it's also that

    I'm sorry but generic songs are just boring, generally speaking. We've heard that sound a billion times, dont you want something unique? Creative? Interesting? Complex?


    Songs that have something unique to it, whether it be complex layering, interesting or rare song structures, or something else that makes them stand out will always be better than equally good sounding cookie cutter songs.


    Both songs you listed are ok, but no way would they be considered SOTY like Next Level, Icy, Boombaya, etc.


    However, THESE songs are not only awesome sounding but are enjoyable to listen to because they are different, they stand out from the rest of Kpop.
