As soon as this article was published, it sparked heated discussions among netizens:
1. I think the repetition of meaningless lyrics has improved compared to before.
2. The proportion of English lyrics is getting higher and higher, which is really frustrating. People are disgusted
3. I hate songs with a lot of English lyrics
4. There are many English lyrics and the songs are short, so they only work hard on the challenge
5. K-POP also has its own rhythm. The domestic market is too small, so I don’t think K-POP can Back to the way things were, listening to more music of all kinds will solve the problem. I feel that the music industry is only developing in one direction. 6. NewJeans songs have the most English lyrics, 90% of “Super Shy”
are 7.
I hate erotic lyrics more than English lyrics. I just want to hear Korean lyrics sung by a clear voice, but K-POP has to go global. 8. Before I knew it, I stopped listening to
girl group songs. It feels like a very fast-food culture, and the lyrics have no connotation. Of course, I’m not saying that boy band songs are very connotative, but at least male idols don’t need to hold their throats to act coquettish and cute. 9. In the past, even idols with fierce choreography
I can also sing live… I really hope there are more singers who insist on singing live.
10. As long as the song is good, it doesn’t matter what the lyrics are. English lyrics are not added only in the past two years.
11. Similar to the previous generation. For example, I can’t find a major vocalist with a sense of presence
. 12. The shortening of songs is a global trend. Although foreign songs are still more than 3 minutes long, there are more songs of more than 2 minutes than before. 13. English
lyrics This is so true. Although it is a Kpop song, I still have to find a translation of the lyrics to understand it.
14. More and more songs do not pay attention to melody, so I still prefer to listen to the melodic 90s songs. Dance music
15. Whether it’s a boy group or a girl group, the choreography is interesting if it’s intense enough. I don’t have a specific fan group right now. I like many idols’ direct shots. If the choreography is not intense, watch it a little bit. I’ll turn it off if I look at it
16. Recently, there are a lot of songs that are deliberately aimed at challenge. The choruses are nothing new and I’m tired of listening to them… I haven’t listened to K-pop for a long time, but every time I browse YouTube shorts, I will turn it off. I listened passively, so I felt even more tired of it.
