Espinosa Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I can't seem to get it at all. I've found most of J-Pop I heard to be incredibly bland and boring, while I can think of many K-Pop songs that are really memorable and catchy. Am I listening to the wrong J-Pop perhaps? What do people consider to be the pinnacle of the style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 because k comes after j historically i think that jpop existed before kpop. but nowadays i think that kpop is better produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I guess it's historically derivative, but is it so in the ways of quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 You know who single-handedly keeps J-Pop away from being completely lost from my sight (well maybe not quite but pretty much)? These girls. On the other hand, the K-Pop acts I've enjoyed don't seem to be putting out anything else of note, though that's probably a superficial look. Hm.

eclipse Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 TC, you've got two options: 1. I leave this topic where it is and warn you for that double-post. 2. I move this to Far from the Forest, where I think you'll get a better response, and you get out of the warning. You'll have to deal with spam, though. Since I'm really conflicted about what to do, I'll leave it up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 do you really think that espinosa would get a better response to a serious question in fftf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can move it I think, because it staying in the Entertainment section hasn't stimulated any discussion thus far outside of a short exchange between me and dondon. Nothing to lose I suppose.

Jiac Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 i've never heard anyone call kpop a knock off tbh I've heard knock offs of kpop though! Knock-Off: Original: (Since this is moving to Fftf I can be off-topic right...?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Apparently there are plenty of stolen K-Pop songs in Spanish. I found out about some atrocious remakes after watching this video accidentally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axie Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 because j-pop fans are butthurt that k-pop got all the international attention that j-pop didn't (while ignoring the fact that j-pop never really seeked such attention to begin with) and because most k-pop acts try to promote in japan (and why wouldn't they? it's the second biggest musical market in the world and it's around the corner, they can actually make money there) k-pop was probably never even musically influenced by j-pop because both were equally influenced by western music at the same time though k-pop probably borrowed from j-pop visually until they got their own (superior imo) concepts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener weener Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Modern kpop is basically just a take on late 90s/early 2000s western r&b and hip hop, and i know little about jpop but what i know (kyary pamyu pamyu, anime lmao) is its own beast They probably only borrowed the aesthetics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) I find it pretty easy to distinguish kpop from jpop (language aside), so I don't quite get it myself either but then there's orange caramel (ok well some of their other songs sound more kpop~ but that song screams jpop to me) Edited March 28, 2016 by Freohr Datia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Huh, people do consider it as a ripoff? I don't know, I personally find both K-pop and J-pop to be two different genres in music. May have similar stuff but eh, Asian stuff. But not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
