>>tfw you realise Japan is discount China

>>53522835
that was true maybe a hundred years ago but now I think Japanese pop culture is too cancerous to be related to china

in before "proxy"

also nakadashi

Who cares South Korea.

Except K-pop was only named so by the same weeaboos who listened to J-pop and not by Koreans themselves. K-pop owes much more to American pop than J-pop.

Well South Korea's part of the four dragons of asia thing so pretty important

>>53523207
all japanese shit is basically a variant of american shit

>>53523207

>>53523336
Well they have never really catched on to the R&B train.

>>53523336
that's true ruskiebro

Well no, it's a music industry after all. The songs can't really "suck" as no matter how good-looking you are people will still mock your crap.

Like I posted in the other thread, like every second k-pop single has foreign "producers" as in actual composers. They're very much interested in hiring the same people who make songs for Beyonce and Rihanna except those guys charge millions so they go for the discount ones who are just as good.

But if you look at sales, then yeah even a shitty song from the biggest names sells much more than a good track from the lesser known act but that applies everywhere else as well (see Bieber).

I will admit I am the best by 2ne1 and shyboy by secret are my guilty pleasures. A lot of Kpop is pretty godtier when it comes to catchyness. I guess the "discount ones" look to the american/european ones as inspiration :)

>>53523647
No I meant record studies go for discount foreign music "producers" (composers).

ALL of them look to the States for inspiration.

>>53523708
sorry Surströmmingbro. can you give me some examples?

>>53523784
if you're not g-dragon then some white guy is making your music for you

>>53523849
but I kid, I went to the absolute with this one

there are notable korean composers like jyp and brave sound

>>53523849
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhh
man do I feel dumb. Thanks for the clarification lutefiskbro. I was wondering how and why the production techniques seem up to date/modern/westernised so quickly for korean pop music.

All the South Koreans i've met have been pretty cool. There was this S. Korean exchange student who wore parachute pants and crazy shit like that who could break dance. He was pretty cool.
