Paper Gangsta 6,693 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yes pop is separated from turbo-folk. 2 different things, it's just that turbo-folk became extremely popular and some pop artists started making song that are turbo-folk in order to make their songs successful. That doesn't make it pop. Mostly sell-out artists with bops like pitbull and JLO used to do. That's just an example. Why is turbo folk embarassing? I don't see why it's worse than pop. Lyrics are pretty much on the same level, while music is more orginal because pop follows WW trends while TF is influenced by traditional music. I agree with what craig said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Gangsta 6,693 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 If US country music is the folk of America, would someone like Shania Twain be similar to Severina? A country artist with elements of rock and pop in her sound. Are there separate pop and turbo-folk radio formats in the Balkins? Is there embarassment about drawing on turbo-folk in Croatia since it's associated strongly with Serbia? There is one format for all songs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what craig said It's called out as "music trash" by many people. And it's mostly about drinking, d--gs, s-x and violence. Which is not that great. All the songs pretty much sound the same and are so cheap when it comes to the production. Just a sell-out. And also 70% of them are just copies (plagiarism). 💎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That song came out long ago. I was not talking about litterally every single song. Music industry changed untill today. And mess I started typing on my language and then forgot to delete it. It's messy 'cause the theme is about someone from here and many people are from here. 💎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomethingMore 1,701 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Turbo-folk was and never will be pop that's a fact. It's just usual that people from this region who listen to turbo-folk tend to call it pop 'cause they're embarassed of listening to that music or whatever. Or 'cause they don't know much about pop. Pop music is not just about the sound but whatever I won't bother to waste my time arguing with someone who's 12 years old. (or at least acts like that). Double standards much? You are beyond embarrassing at this point Severina is mostly a pop singer. I proved it by posting all of her huge pop hits. She was longer doing pop and has more pop hits than turbo folk. That's not an opinion that's simply a fact as she started singing tf in 2008. If that's so hard for you to understand, not sure who is really 12 years old (or at least acts like that). This was supposed to be another fun balkan thread on a foreign forum, where balkan people would praise Seve or claim someone else is the queen of pop just to have some fun. It was never supposed to be this serious That's why I think something got you pressed. How come you were so relaxed in the Talk That Balkan Talk thread? FYI I do agree with you, turbo folk cannot be considered pop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought calling her a queen of pop was a joke too, from you but you were serious right? And then you started attacking me with some "facts". Anyways, won't argue anymore about something that's not even important, at least for me. :) 💎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
