Even if it’s bad, I’ll always respect experimental styles in Kpop songs

    It shows these companies are trying to do something that stands out, try to make you remember that this group is who they are & no one else. And overall trying new things instead of just staying safe eternally


    NMIXX song wasn’t that great to me (still liked it), but I do love how JYP tried to make them different even for their own GG standards, let alone for GGs as a whole


    And Billlies new song is pretty cool too. Felt like I was actually in another world


    This goes for experimental concepts to, like NCT’s whole being with the units. They got shit on for years cuz of it, now they’re a top boy group who stuck to their guns


    A song can be bad whether it’s experimental or not. So even if it is bad or underwhelming, I’ll still appreciate the effort

    I think it all depends on the delivery and production quality. "experimental" shouldn't be used like a genre you either like or dislike and not every song with a messy production is necessarily experimental, and not every group can pull it off.

    I feel another rant coming on X(


    I come from a time where we had songs that were routinely 4 or 5 minutes long, some even going into the 7, 8, 10 minute mark.


    A time when music was about real people, real instruments, real voices, and real lyrics. Pop stars were musicians expressing themselves, not the way it is now where most stars are just vapid celebrities whose songs are literally just 2.6 minute commercial advertisements for their respective brands.


    A time when music was produced inside a studio with real instruments and real voices, not by a soulless computer and software inside some greasy Cheeto stained bedroom of some computer jockey. A time when we had dozens of different genres all coming out with hit after hit after hit. Pop, rock, heavy metal, hair metal, rap and hip hop, RnB, synth, alt rock, country, reggae, every possible subgenre of pop music was represented.


    So yes, this is another roundabout way to agree with you.


    Music with more complex song structures, or something unique underlying it, something that stands out is far more preferable to the same same genericness that infects almost all pop nowadays.

    I would say savage is experimental but many songs that are called experimental are just a mess/ bad

    But tbh I started to hate the word 'experimental' because how overused it is.

    I feel like people use it as an excuse too much of why a song is bad
