    Hi guys, I know this is not cosplay related but some of you like kpop so I'm posting it here. It's the new kids react episode on K-Pop.

    That's really how these groups are made? So basically they just get any person, train them in dance, change their hair/makeup to be 'edgy', make a song for them, and auto tune their voice? How can anyone be a fan of this? They're fake people manufactured by the fat dudes in the background.

    And I know at least I AM THE BEST has an English version.

    I'm sure some of us were like "what is that!?" when when we first heard something like it as a kid only exposed to one language. Hell, I'm like that with some ENGLISH tunes.

    this video is cute, and i've learned to take what they say with a grain of salt.

    6theory's going down in flames though, lol. I like kpop to an extent but man, the hardcore fans are some of the most immature little shits I've ever seen habitate the internet.

    the reaction to the hatsune miku video was even worse because of internet neckbeards and self-righteous defensive fangirls. j-pop stans are just as bad as k-pop stans, not trying to promote one over the other. especially fans of johnny's weird prepubescent boy groups.

    Out of the three big ones (Lindsey, Brittany and Hilary) she did turn out most in control of her life by a good long shot. Really I feel if you dont find yourself in the press much after your careers over it's probably a good thing. But her music wasnt that great, I think I bought the her album in 2003 (I had to look that up) when it came out, but I remember not liking it.

    Though still, I dont think she was around for more than a year, maybe two after that. I'm going to agree a bit that I dont think these kids watching hilary duff/listening to hilary duff 9 years ago.

    But its obvious it was said because they can't tell them apart because of ethnicity. Because I'm sure Koreans look at the American music industry and think every black person and white person looks the same. Its a normal reaction when you just don't see that ethnicity all that much. So while the comment was racist, it wasn't said to intentionally be hurtful, it was just ignorant.

    Word. It's not politically correct, but they're little. Kids are honest, and to them, all of the kpop artists looked the same.

    I thought the same thing about SNSD when I got into kpop...and I'm Chinese. You'd think I should have been better at it.

    Honestly most Asians do look alike to me. There's like a 1% population in my city, and I've only talked to a handful of Asian people in my entire life. I have trouble watching Korean movies/dramas because if they don't have a stand out physical feature, I can't tell them apart. Feels ignorant man.

    I hear ya anon. Its like learning a new language. You really just need to watch a lot of dramas, view musicians, listen to their voices, match names to people, etc. to really start and see everyone as individuals as opposed to a whole. Most of the time you really don't even notice your doing it though.

    Oh, and sometimes in movies where there are a lot of blondes it takes me a while to remember who is who.

    I guess I should say... Everyone fucking looks alike sometimes. Everyone. All races. Ya fuckin' look alike if you have similar haircolors/cuts or makeup!
    Hell, I look like a few people and I'm not even "average".

    Kpop is pretty fucking bad you guys. Don't lie to yourself.
    I used to be really into Kpop but that's because I was fully aware of its badness and maximum cheesiness and that's what I liked about it. If you recognize that you like Kpop for the right reasons imo.

    Blind freaky cult worship like the people on LJ though .. you should probably kill yourself if you're that person.

    So much agreement with this one anon. It's definitely derivative, too, but I liked it just because I liked bad 90's American pop and that's where a lot of it came from. Kpop sort of lost me with 2NE1BANG and that sort of electro-stuff.

    I'm not the prettiest one out there but naw man naw I don't care if they all look the same and have 0 variation in their songs.

    I just don't like how in the past decade K-pop fell down a flight of stairs of "mediocrity." I was a fan of G.O.D and H.O.T back in the mother land.
    >> Anonymous 01/08/12(Sun)21:04 No.5337031
    Just my two cents as a Korean - a lot of the kpop that people know of aren't even marketed to the 20s crowd - they're marketed to the teens and tweens, like Justin Beiber or Hannah Montanna and stuff like that. I don't hate on anyone who likes kpop, but at the same time I'm not surprised if it doesn't sound pleasing to most people.

    Truth. I still don't get how the 20 somethings of the US actually like K-pop which is inherently for the tween demographic.

    Honest question, no judgements, why do people in the US like it so much? (teenagers foaming at the mouth excluded)

    I've never met a fan over 21 or so. The ones who are older generally listen more to k-indie or k-urban or are in it for the variety shows/whatever.

    But then again why do 18+ year olds in the states watch anime targeted at young Japanese boys? There's probably a similar reason in kpop fan circles.

    Even the Japanese like cartoons intended for children. Most just cover it up because of the stigma attached to admitting it. I imagine it's the same with Koreans and K-pop.

    Korean from another earlier post here and I also don't like K-pop.

    My adult friends who like it are just in love with the surgically manufactured girls/boys and how they look, not the music.

    Interesting connection, but I'll have to disagree on the anime question. I don't think anime is "inherently" targeted to only teenagers. I know this is a cop-out argument but there are plenty in the genre that are meant and made for adults. (Onii-chan yamette pron excluded in this case) I'd say that under that logic anyone who enjoys video games over the age of 18 should re-think their thought process.

    K-pop is built for the teens in my opinion though. Their characters in the variety shows, music videos, and looking at their songs in general seems to be more pandering to a kid-centric demographic.

    but then again there are plenty of people over the age of 30 who like K-ON so...moot....I guess...

    shit I can't even defend my hobby...

    As a dude, I really only like one SNSD album, other than that I don't really like K-pop, but I do see why people like it. It's like Bieber, there isn't a ton of substance, but it's pretty catchy stuff.

    Oh no, sorry, I think that I was unclear. I totally understand why people of all ages watch anime, and read manga (especially.) I'm just saying that there are some anime, particularly shonen, targeted at maybe 15-18 year old boys, and I see plenty of people over 20 caught into the fandom. That being said, it's far, far more common with teenagers. So I totally understand your point.

    To >>5337126, I guess that's fair, but the fact remains that the enjoyment is (purportedly) different between older Japanese who enjoy younger kids' entertainment - I guess it's like those people who watch Spongebob or other cartoons because they remember watching it as a kid - and people who are hardcore into the fandom, which I have seen in America...well, online, which is kind of like America.

    But you're right, most of the Koreans that I've talked to admit to liking this or that Kpop song, so I guess it's sort of the same thing.

    It may be something similar to the pony fad, IDK.

    ...i don't know what point i'm trying to prove.

    This video kind of pisses me off, but not because I'm some huge Kpop fan. I'm just soooooooooo sick of people thinking kid's ignorance is 'cute'. I fuckin love cultures, and always try to let my family experiment with me. You know how many times I have to put up with my aunt's brats screaming in foreign restaurants , "WHAT IS THIS???? SOOOOOOOO GROSS!?? WHY WOULD SOMEONE EAT THIS??" or have them say to me "YOU LISTEN TO JAPANESE/KOREAN/CHINESE MUSIC?? WHY CAN'T YOU BE NORMAL???" all while everybody giggles as if they just say the cutest thing ever. Ugh. Don't condone ignorance people.


    and I lol'd at the kid screaming about his generation and wanting to be born in the 80's. Yeah, because the 80's was just the BEST time for music. Can I just say this....Tiffany, Flock of seagulls, rick astley, bananarama,milli vanilli...eh you guys catch my drift...

    They're the PORN magazines, for one, and they aren't exactly reading shoujo manga to work. There's a reason why manga is categorised as shounen/seinen, shoujo/josei and so on.

    I can't really blame somebody for thinking all kpop or jpop girls look the same. Because they're slathered in about 100 layers of makeup, circle lenses, eyelid glue strips, fake hair, and overexposed to the point they barely have noses. Real people in real life are totally different.

    But kids ARE ignorant. It's part of being a kid. They'll soon grow up and become much less so.

    There's a HUGE difference between an adult being purposely ignorant and a child being ignorant because they haven't been on this planet very long.

    Out of all the Super Junior songs they could have shown they choose one of the worst ones? Mind you I [mostly] enjoy their music but by the Gods I hated Bonamana. I think it would have been better to show them one of their other songs... or DBSK/TVXQ instead.

    I don't want to rage about how much I've hated every video I've ever watched from this series so I shall include a very polite sage.
