Did "I Got a Boy" kickstart the noise music trend?

k-pop IS noise music.

*points gun*

always has been.

The boy groups start the noise music mate

Music, by very definition, is noise.

All music is noise music.

IGAB at least had interesting switch ups every few seconds, none of the individual sections sound the same including the choruses. These days songs are repeating the same motif over and over and not much of a melody.

IGAB was noisy but each section had its own catchy melody and after you got over the weirdness, it was very listenable. Which is more than I can say for a lot of songs coming out now, sadly.

Fantastic Baby is basic electro house, yet within K-pop it's basically revolutionary.

certainly not lol....
