No music is superior to another. And you can't say you are "right" about what music is better or worse than another just cause you've done a music degree (I'm currently doing bachelor of music jazz degree too). Hiphop, jazz, pop, rock, classical, or whatever else music I don't know the genre of, has its own strengths and interesting factors. For example, Hiphop music makes use of no more than 4 chord progressions and repeats that for the whole song. But the lyrics they speak through their recording is sometimes more than enough to move our feelings. You cannot judge music. "I'm doing(I've done) a music degree therefore I know more about music than others and this music is worse than this!" is the worst thing you can ever say as a musician and its an immature thing to say as a musician too. I'll say "true musician" but more like "mature" musicians respect other genres of music and they understand that music depends on personal taste. You can say that you don't like certain music, but don't say as if its a fact that one music is worse than another. Because that is not true.

"It's worse than the worst of American Pop" doesn't sound like a personal opinion, but more like a "fact" your pointing out.

If you said, I personally don't like K pop music, is ok, but saying it's bad is not the right way to talk about music unless it is actually somewhat giving negative effect to the community or the world.

Ok I see the problem. I was too colloquial in my writing, and was misunderstood. So I apologise for typing in a casual manner, I should have been more precise with my words.

In my opinion Kpop sounds awful. Just like Justin Bieber sounds awful. I'm pretty sure that the majority of the people on this forum would agree about Bieber. So I don't understand the logic where a bunch of people who cringe at Western Pop such as Bieber will gladly listen to an asian equivalent? Sure, people have different tastes in music, I totally respect that, I just do not understand the logic.

Edit: Sigh, being misunderstood ftw...

I'm not trying to shit on Kpop or people who like it. I just don't understand this bandwagon. If it wasn't for Starcraft, most foreigners wouldn't listen twice to Kpop : /

Shut up and enjoy the show.

'tis a kpop band! Just because it's music doesn't mean there's nothing to look at ;D

Music is not something I watch, rather listen to. Watching the girls without listening to it has nothing to do with the music, and then any attractive girls will suffice rather than them having to be singing.

Not hating on kpop (I do like some... the occasional thing I've heard is quite catchy, similar to western pop), but saying the music is good just because the girls are hot is silly, IMO.

Definetely agree on that one.
I'm a male, and I only care about music, and don't give a damn about how hot the people are.
I don't really listen to kpop girl groups, but more of boy groups such as Big Bang, JYJ, etc.

[deL]

Who said the music is good? o.O

I just prefer it to other music because I can't understand the lyrics. Lyrics ruin most music for me so I listed to a lot of foreign language bands n_n

do you listen to death metal del? you cant understand those lyrics either

Sure do.

My most listened to genres are death/prog metal, reggae (can't understand what they say lol), some intrumental stuff like jazz fusion, sometimes punk (in other languages like Dutch), some kpop, and stuff like Prodigy where there aren't really any lyrics :P
