>>69448228
don't sexualize the kero

this shit is garbage, sounds like dont hug me im scared. the only reason that was interesting is it had some ~mystery~ behind it. what does this trash have?

>>69448198
jpop is just western pop in japanese though

>>69448636
that is really ignorant anon

sorry but if you don't like this music you must be a pretty boring person irl

>Who is this music for?
Cute people. It's cute music for cute people.

>>69448136
people who are sick of irony & cynicism
also weebs, so basically people who spent too much time on 4chan

>>69448120
i really like this song but the "you just have to believe!" part makes me cringe. this group causes that on me, when the aesthetic works it makes me smile and it's really catchy but it can get waay too embarrassing sometimes.

anyone has similar feelings towards kkb?

>>69449070
sincerity necessarily leads to embarrassing moments, and the feeling of overcoming embarrassment both recent or from years ago is pretty amazing, i think that's what their music is trying to evoke

>>69448179

Being a weeb is going to be cool one day. It's already happening

>>69447835
no

>>69449070
Yeah, I feel like they're self-aware and sometimes sarcastic in their humour (which is fine) and then suddenly Sarah goes "Even if you're falling, that's okay! You just have to believe~" in the worst and least sincere way she could've (sounds like it was her first attempt desu), which ruins that part.

fish bowl is a masterpiece

& big city sounds like a sonic song

>tfw people will use ~uguu irl
i don't know how to feel about this

>>69449127
that's an interesting idea and yeah, i agree with that. i really like it most of the time when i feel embarrassing listening to this kind of stuff, also when listening to stuff like kyary. i can't help but smiling a lot and really like it, but idk, in their case it sometimes kinda breaks the mood for me. maybe that aspect of their music will eventually grow on me.

>>69449165
why not both?


i really like how threads about pc music/kkb/some j-pop are getting more common lately. there really is something going on in these takes on pop music.

>>69449239
>why not both
oh, yeah ok fine. Better than this fucking trap trend.
Mainstream pop is a mystery as to what will be popular.

>>69449141
Being a pseudo-weeb is already cool

I'd be okay with meta parody becoming popular. allows for happy music with the same emotional depth that makes depressing music interesting.

>>69448991

Vast majority of k pop uses 80s and 90s rnb sounds and have their korean voices over it, i know my sis listens to that shit all the time. FAGGOTS STEALING MY CULTURE FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU

>>69449239
Still waiting for some real inventive shit here. U.S music industry needs talented people behind the scenes like they did in the 80s, I'm thinking of becoing a musician my self (not syaing my ideas cause theyre good and havent been done before and someone is gonna steal them if I say it SO DONT WATCH ME!)

>>69449366
that's really neat and all but i'm pretty sure the discussion was about j-pop

apply yourself

>>69449289
i really dislike the trap trend as well man, this is leagues ahead of that. trap sounds so fucking repetitive to me

>>69449412
Oh man I wasnt paying attention my bad
By the way the U.S IS LONG OVERDUE for a Arab Music craze,

>>69449239
>tfw people will use ~uguu irl
It's not going to be about only. It's about this whole aesthetic, being flashy, busy and upbeat.

yeah that, catchy, slick mainstream pop informed with non-mainstream styles' musical language would be awesome. i'm a bit disappointed Knower's album didn't elevate them to the same level of popularity that KKB achieved and i'm the only one "shilling" it on here

>>69449561

they make feel good music dude. I can understand not liking the music but hating them for doing it is another thing

>>69451862
I don't know how you could hat trampoline desu.
you'd have to be depressioncore irl.

>>69451862
i'm not too interested in the music, i'm interested in what it represents.
and what it represents is the pinnacle of that smug and sheltered upper-class post-post-ironic poptimist self-masturbation which has been making inroads into "hip" music in recent years.
the mechanisms behind the music are revolting and i can't imagine that anyone other than revolting people would be capable of coming up with the music and the overarching concept which frames it.
if you want a close look into just how disconnected the upper classes are from the average joe, at just how little of a fuck they give about what happens to that average joe tomorrow, just look at PC music and this band.

>>69449221
I'm surprised by how quickly she went irrelevant

>>69451935
haha okay dude. stay mad.
Music during the depression was happy and upbeat for a reason.

>>69451988
i'm not sure what these statements have to do with this band
this band's music revolves entirely around a form of exclusive meta commentary which it is by default assumed the people suffering through the depression aren't capable of grasping because they're dumb commoners.
it's a form of hyper-consumerist postironic pop elitism at its most blatant and masturbatory. a capitalist aberration of the most disgusting sort. the world at large does not benefit from these people's prolonged existence.

>>69449665
you need to find a perfect balance between "music is to be taken seriously" and "music is not to be taken seriously", you're far too far on the latter side

>>69452168
*former

>>69451935
>>69452100
nice asspulls

>>69452100
Metacommentary?
there is nothing "meta" about the song trampoline
Pop music that sounds "different" is not always a commentry, yo friccin turd.

also
>the common man is depressed
statistically speaking, no.
Music during the great depression was happy because people needed something bright in their life. Songs like "break" perfectly exemplify this feeling that people need to ake a break from the dull and enjoy something fun.

>>69451841
>>69451935
>>69452100
A bit overzealous and bloodthirsty, but a pretty good assessment of why thee kids and their contemporaries are total pieces of shit.
If you like this music I'll assume that you're either too fucking stupid to understand what it represents or you come from the same background that its creators come from, in which case you should unironically KYS.

>>69452254
that's classist desu

>>69452252
You're a simpleton desu.

>>69452286
Spell it out for me then.
I seriously dont get what you are trying to say other than "fuck rich people and happy people"

Oh look, another pseudo-continental sperglord teleologically suspending the intelligible to win points on an anonymous image board

>>69452100
it's not like i'm less of an "average joe" because it happens to be the case that i follow /mu/, rym and some underground music media, or that anyone else is, you're the one painting with a broad brush here.
"layers of irony" is an ironic meme in and of itself, i don't get why anyone would take it seriously all of a sudden, and the "message" behind that album is as simple as it gets, no different from any other feelgood pop, so there's little point to singling that band out

My generation had a band & if the they they said it was She & Him I would be satisfied.

Even though that band would be Radiohead.

The Japanese appropriation and tryhard twee is cringe-inducing. That's all it comes down to.

>>69452902
>The Japanese appropriation
How is it appropriation? She is Japanese

I met the two blokes from this group a while ago. They were pretty unbearable to be perfectly honest, reminded me a lot of some of the rich cunts I went to college with.
The "sheltered upper class elitism" interpretation of what this group is doing definitely has a grain of truth to it.

>>69453091
explain the elitism. I'm not getting it

>>69453287
I don't get it either. Nothing in their music suggests anything like that. Maybe they are pricks irl but I don't hear it in their songs.

>>69451935
>>69452100
hi unty

>>69453091
the fuck does sheltered upper class elitism even mean. "sheltered"? as opposed to living the hard on the streets like you

>>69451935
you are really projecting a lot of stuff onto them for no reason at all. They make catchy music, thats about it.

>>69453091
the guys are clearly losers, call me when you meet sarah

No, she's British.

Please stop shilling this garbage

>>69454508
She didn't grow up in Japan though. Let me put it this way: it's more accurate to say "Barack Obama is a white man" than "Sarah is a Japanese woman."

>>69454623
No, not really.

>>69454771
Yes, really.

it's not garbage???

>singing in a language that you grew up speaking is cultural appropriation
>singing in a language that is the native tongue of your parent is cultural appropriation
>singing in the language of a country where you spent a good part of your life (but didn't grow up there) is cultural appropriation

she just can't win can she? I hope i'm just falling for some bait here because holy fuck people like you are insufferable.

I should have known to not even engage with you the second you brought up cultural appropriation as if it were a legitimate issue here.
