[enter-talk] I'm so disappointed with Kpop nowadays

  • There were a lot of songs worth listening to before but nowadays, they are seriously disappointing


    To be honest, I was really looking forward to IU but I don't think that her songs live up to the quality of her old songs. Lilac's results were good but they were only good because it was released by IU. Just looking at the song alone, I'm not sure. And the songs she released after it were just disappointing.


    Bangtan's Boy With Luv was good. The foreign singer's featuring was random but the song was good. ON wasn't my style but male idols need to release a few songs like these so it can't be helped and I'll give it a pass. Dynamite, Butter and PTD were good songs but the lyrics were in English and they keep only releasing singles. I seriously like Bangtan's side tracks so they should at least release a mini album. I want to listen to Korean songs like DNA, Idol, Fake love, Fire and Run.


    BP are just too much, they just don't come back. I'm seriously disappointed. Why is their company YG? They never give comebacks and I'm so annoyed. I f*cking like BP's songs but not having a comeback in a year is oba.


    When I listened to RV's Queendom, it wasn't the quality I was looking for in RV. They have so many bops but what's with Queendom? It was just average. They will comeback soon so please give them something with the old quality.


    I feel like Twice has lost a lot of their power. No matter the genre, there are a lot of songs where you could feel Twice's energy. But it's been a shame. I hope they can release something like Dance the Night Away, Yes or Yes, The Feels or Like Ooh Ahh. Alcohol Free was good but I want something more impactful.


    There's nothing to listen digitally nowadays.

    People keep saying that the newest release is the best yet but if I listen to them, they are all disappointing and they don't have the quality like before.


    Seventeen, NCT, Mamamoo, Shinee and Taeyeon have good results but it feels like only their results are good. If you listen to their songs, nothing compares to the ones they released before.


    The 4th gen is like this too. If IVE, Aespa, STAYC, Stray Kids, Treasure, Enhypen, TXT or Idle released something like the 3rd gen's peak, it wouldn't be so disappointing. But they are just meh in many reasons.


    I was also f*cking looking forward to NMIXX this time but the song is too difficult to pull off.


    I'm mad because there are no songs worth listening to nowadays.


    The composers are not as talented as before

    I can agree a bit

    People always glamorize the past ㅋㅋㅋ After all, the culture of 2nd generation that you guys romanticize and call the "heyday" of idols was just as weird and dirty. Idols got into just as many scandals as now and same for the songs, there were just as many bad songs as good songs. There were also a lot of bizarre and difficult songs. It's just because they are now the past that you guys miss and romanticize it

    The 3rd gen were dragged just like this too.. Just wait for time to pass. People will bullsh*t about how they miss the 4th gen

    To be honest, OP is right and my bias is mentioned hereㅋㅋㅋ

    Huh? If the public can't give such feedback, then who's gonna give it?? Aren't us listeners allowed to say that songs nowadays are disappointing?


    6. [+57, -5]

    It makes me mad but OP is right;;


    7. [+52, -3]

    What's up with the comments? I relate to OP.. It's true that there are no songs to listen to


    8. [+48, -3]

    I like that songs nowadays sound like songs of today though


    9. [+47, -3]

    Honestly speaking, it's true that the 2nd gen's songs were better... Of course, the 2nd gen had a lot of hidden gems but also a lot of sh*tty songs but if you listen to the 2nd gen's songs, you would find yourself bopping your head to a lot of themㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    All this is subjective.


    But on IU, I also found Strawberry Moon underwhelming.

    Pieces is a different story though, those songs were already known and she did not deem them suitable even as B-sides for her earlier releases, but released them per fan demand and to clear her storage, for her 30s. I did like Drama and Next stop already from her concerts etc. Others are ok.

    Yes, Celebrity and Lilac are not really the tops for me. But I enjoy Hi Spring Bye, Epilogue, Ah puh a lot.

    Modern times is still my preferred album, then Palette, then LP, then Lilac.


    But that is the thing right, no artist can satisfy all tastes with every song. Still the album had decent variety to satisfy many tastes and that is the reason for its success.


    As to others, there is constant innovation going on. Either you have not come across them or don't find them evocative. A large part is nostalgia, at a point the freshness of a cultural phenomenon is gone and we don't look forward, but backward in nostalgia. Then new products won't be as good. But for new entrants, who don't know the older history, they look with fresh perspective and enjoy.,

    It is not easy to satisfy both these dynamics.


    Since K-pop overall is growing, the nostalgic are not the primary consideration.

  • Its called getting older and less receptive to new music/stuff, something that happens to the majority of people. (numerous studies proves this). Also, rose tinted glasses and all that. This is a common complaint among all generations since radio was invented basically.


    Artists that innovate/renew themselves and are successful might lose 1-2 older fans but gain three new ones with a new release. Its either that, continue with the same old and hope fandom sticks with you or lose relevance slowly over time.
