Easily Golden
I think KDH and Golden will be remembered for what happened in pop culture in the 2020s. Dynamite didn't have that affect where people outside of kpop being into the song. Also being the lead song for a successful film will always give a song the advantage.
I don't think people fully understand how important it is to be the lead song for a popular film. People will often cite the song that's associated with a popular film.
Fight Club - Where is Mind
Frozen - Let It Go
Into the Spiderverse - Sunflower
Karate Kid - You're The Best
Lion King - circle of life
Rocky - Eye of the Tiger
Top Gun - Danger ZOne
Despicable Me - Happy
The list can go on and on, but Golden will forever be the song people will cite when talking about Kpop Demon Hunter. I mainly listed older movies to show the importance of being the popular song in a film.
I did see a KATSEYE article on CNN of all places
They did smart marketing with the GAP commercial. I'm curious to see what they do to ride the momentum because they can do something big if they provide them with the right songs. I'm unsure why Hybe/Geffen aren't using their resources to have them perform at the VMAs.
Katseye is gaining popularity, so I am not surprised. Their GAP ad is trending on social media and I see many western celebrities shout them out. I think Hybe/Geffen need to make sure their next track is a hit because I think they have a shot to do something special.
I think Jump is doing well with the limited promotion.
Excited for this
I JUST DISCOVERED THIS SONG AND I AM HOOKED
listen to her album. It's legit one of the best albums in 2022
Display MoreYes, they are.

They have good vocals.
I can see why Hybe/Geffen wants to keep these members for a new group. I assume they saw how successful Katseye is, and wanted to get another group out there ASAP. So, there's most likely wasn't a need for an extensive search if talent is already in house
I think the key is how they will differentiate themselves from Katseye. I wonder if this group will be more vocal focused than Katseye. I think Katseye shines with their performances and fun songs. So. I can see this new group being pushed for vocals.
Oh yeah, I’m not really concerned if they are Hyperpop or not, just wanted to share them with you as I thought they were cool (I love that song, and the rest of their album is great too).
Agreed. I think there's a lot of interesting music being created in Japan. I've enjoyed some of their r&b artist, and I like some of the city pop inspired songs being created.
I'm happy there is now a platform for their music because I remember it being a pain the post to get into Japanese music because of the gatekeeping nature of their industry.
Display MoreNo need to feel obliged to listen or comment on everything, this thread is a bit of a dumping ground for me so I don’t mind talking to myself 😅
Yeah that Emma Aiba song is so seamless despite the crazy cocktail of genres. The album is similar vibes all the way through but with loads of good song.
One artist I would like your thoughts on is Peterparker69 - you might already know them because I understand they are blowing up in Japan. They are a different vibe to the rest of the artists in here, but I’ve seen them labelled Hyperpop and from my understanding of your taste, I think you’ll love them! 🙂

No worries. I don't mind the discovery. I usually listen when bored at work, so all good.
I heard of Peterparker69 but unsure if I would label as hyperpop tbh. I guess there are some elements, but I guess with hyperhop you're not really boxed in and it's a pretty broad genre. I think for PeterParker69 from the tracks I've heard it seems you can sense some hip hop influence mixed with alternative pop and various electronic genres. I think it's a nice blend from what they're going for. So, I can see why they're gaining popularity.
I feel bad for them because that song is legit a hit imo, but they lost casual listeners with that mixpop nonsense to start their careers.
Verifying my list of top tracks and I forgot about Qwer for some reason 
, and now 5th gen has the slight edge 
Curious to see if Aespa can change things with their comeback.
Agreed that external factor is hilarious. Was just speaking to a friend that doesn't listen to kpop, and they remembered being bummed about their fornite collab being cancelled. They said they enjoyed their music and was looking forward to it. I think something like that is why the company had one of the biggest fumble because they were gaining ground in one of the toughest market and threw it all away.
Lastly, 4s4ki put on a new song yesterday. It’s with Masayoshi Iimori, the producer behind some of her best songs like Fairytale and I Love Me. Well, it’s an absolute banger - it’s constructed like a future bass or dubstep song, with an epic build up and drop, but the glitchy wobble synths play out over a UK garage beat. It’s really cool. I must have listened to it ten times already.
A bit behind but was about to make a post about that 4s4ki song . I thought the song was cool
I will check out the other tracks posted. I made a note of things to check out.
The Emma Aibra track you posted is interesting because don't really hear that much rock elements in these tracks but thought it was mixed well. Def going to check out that album this week
Hmmm, I think it's a lot closer than we think. Some of my favorite 4th gen songs didn't gain much popularity. Nmixx, LSF, Artms, Idle b-sides, Itzy, Fromis_9, Minnie's and Yeji's solos, and a few other songs were great. I think 4th gen not looking as good because people have been a bit mixed about IVE and Aespa releases, and Idle's promoted songs underwhelmed .
Meanwhile with 5th gen I enjoyed music from tripleS, Illit, Ifeye, Meovv, AtHeart, Hearts2Hearts, Fifty Fifty, Rescene, and a few other groups. I think there are some great teams behind a lot of 5th gen groups which is why quality has improved this year. I think it also helps that groups outside of the big 4 for 4th gen groups have either faded or disbanded. On the other hand, companies have shifted focus to 5th gen which is why there are many groups on the rise.
I think for me it's tough to grade because I think it's very close. If I were to make a top 25 list of songs I've enjoyed. I think 4th gen songs might have a higher count by a narrow margin.
Lastly, I feel this is the year we can sense the shift from 4th gen to 5th gen . I think it's been accelerated because of external factors
It does feel a bit too soon to Katseye? But I get why! You can’t let these talented/ beautiful girls not debut!

I wonder how many members will be in the full lineup! I’ve read there may be a survival show for the final spot
I didn't watch the show, but are they as skilled as Katseye?
I will of course check the group out for intrigue, but I think it's too soon. I wonder what they will do to differentiate themselves from Katseye. I think there's room for multiple groups but I just worry about resources being properly allocated. I think Katseye is breaking out because I see many outside of the kpop world talking about them. So, Hybe/Geffen need to make sure the back them up.
I think for group size, maybe aim for smaller than Katseye
I know what happened. I wasn't even into their survival show and knew nothing about them but i knew about this because it was trending on Twitter.
This might be controversial to some fans but not for the industry. CEO of hybe America was Scooter Braun after all. Entertainment industry is run by Zionists. It is how it is.
As for this topic, i have no idea what's happening here or what group they are debuting in lol
I think people can seperate the idol/artist from the ceo. Well, I hope they can because I think we can't blame idols/artists if they're under a hybe group because that's a really good shot at making it.
I think for Samra case if all of the other stuff is true, then that could be concerning.
I will go back on topic. I'm a bit confused if it's another survival show or are they just making a reality show behind their new global group. I think this is all too soon because I think they should focus more on Katseye rather than cannibalize a group that is becoming popular.
Display MoreI have every right to mention that part, because it's MY opinion, and there's no rule in AKP's book that says I can't say that.
That's literally what I said, I'm gonna listen to their music if I like it. There were no reason to call me weird, creep etc. Yama ignored everything else because he always wants to fight.
Many people don't read lyrics, but I do, some people said they don't care about lyrics either if they like the song, and it doesn't need to have deep meaning either. I have a different opinion about this too. Lyrics doesn't have to be meaningful all the time, but it has to be appropriate, especially if it's written for young kids.
This is a Forum, I can comment anything I want if I don't insult anyone. My comment wasn't insulting at all, I didn't derail the thread, ergo there's nothing wrong with what I said.
His thread isn't just about their music, it's about the group too. IF he ignores my opinion, there's no problem, but he can't do that, because he likes to play the victim card.
That's fair that it's an open forum and you can post where you want. I am just saying I don't think it's that productive for the thread to mention that when it was mostly people talking about the songs. I think sometimes it's better to ignore a comment and move on because that's probably what should've happened imo.
I think with kpop there are many that mainly just listen to the music. So, they don't limit what they listen to if the song sounds good. I think it's a bit like the film industry where a film or show can have child actors but they watch because it's good. If you look at Netflix show Stranger Things, it mainly featured underage actors but many watched because the show is quality. I feel music can be similar in that regard imo.
The entire industry is Zionist, why would they have a problem with it?
looked it up and apparently Samara did this
This tweet went viral
That looked a bit of both because I think didn't have to mention the underage part. However, I think it didn't need to escalate where it went to a back and forth. Also, you can just listen to the music and still be a fan of a group. However, there's always a risk of trusting companies to be appropriate because you can get messes with lyrics, choreography, attire, etc.
I think in this case it probably escalated because you 2 are always going at it, and it most likely went to a place it shouldn't have.
edit: I just don't think you have to go into a thread where people are listening to music and make that comment.
The best
