Is there anyone who prefers boy groups over girl groups? And why do you prefer girl groups? Just curious. I prefer girl groups, the only boy group I stan for is SHINee. I do download songs/albums from other male artists every now and then tho. Fun Fact: The K in KPop stands for "Kate Bush" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I listen to very few K-boybands, because so many of them make ''basic'' or even cheap music. However, the songs SHINee, GOT7, BTS and BIGBANG released over the last couple of years are pretty great. Ooh, and EXO too... 36 minutes ago, PoshLife said: Yeah like Martijn said, I mostly listen to girl groups, but I also mostly listen to female artists in non-K pop as well. I think I relate to it more tbh. And I feel kind of weird stanning for a guy, it makes me feel like a little girl lol But sometimes a boy group will have a song I like and I'll enjoy it. Like EXO's "Love Me Right" or JJCC's "Where You At" or BTS's "I Need U." I don't refuse to listen to boy groups, they just make fewer songs that I like. 31 minutes ago, Taylor said: Welcome! :party: I'm pretty much the same as Martijn and Posh... I don't really listen to male English artists (not that I even really listen to English music anymore ) and while I do like a couple of boy group songs I don't like them enough to download them or buy a copy. Plus I have too many albums just with girl groups Thank you all. I asked because, as you, all the music from Europe and America that I listen is made by female singers, exception made for Fedez which is a male rapper from my country (Italy). But then its different for K-pop, and I seem to prefer male idols and I find it difficult to explain myself why. It's not that I don't like girl groups, it's just that I find it harder to enjoy some of their music. I think the main reason is that I'm not very fond of girly songs and cutesy stuff made by female artists, while for some strange reason I'm ok with it if its made by boys (?!?!). For example, I enjoy Astro - Hide & Seek and feel uncomfortable with I.O.I - Dream Girls. I prefer "my girls" to be hot like Hyuna - Roll Deep, sexy like Luna - Free Somebody, badass like CL and classy/sexy/funny like MAMAMOO (which is probably my favorite girl group together with 2NE1). I just realized that maybe it's because of the MVs but I'm not sure. Anyway, as I'm new to K-pop, I try to listen to what's being released these days and I don't have time to go check all the past stuff. But if I like a song or an artist that has just released something I'll definitely look for more of their previous song. For example, I'm hooked on Luna's mini album and Amber Need To Feel is so relaxing... Plus, their collab for SM Station makes me wanna dance so I decided to check out f(x) music as soon as possible. So, I would really appreciate if you could help me with girl groups and suggest songs you think I should know and must enjoy. I usually fall in love more easily with dance songs, but I like every genre, from pop to rock to dance to trap to r&b etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like Hyuna, you need to check out 4MINUTE, especially their songs Crazy and Hate I recently discovered 'I Feel You' by the Wonder Girls. The song is not spectacular, but I live for the MV and the whole 80s vibe. You'll probably like EXID too... I personally love Hot Pink and UP&DOWN the most.Red Velvet's Dumb Dumb is pretty catchy, but maybe too cutesy for you. Well, the MV might be, the song itself isn't overly cute. You need to check out Hurt Locker by 9MUSES too, that song is sooo underrated. I think most of Girls Generation's songs are too cutesy for you, but you might like You Think and Mr. Mr. I have no idea how many songs you know already, but these are some of my personal faves... EDIT: Maybe you can suggest some boyband songs to me as well now that you know my taste? I already like some of GOT7's songs, View and Married to the Music by SHINee, Bang Bang Bang by BIGBANG and Call me Baby by EXO Edited June 2, 2016 by MartijnMonster 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a lot of the girl groups are doing that these days. If you're interested in girls that are more sexy, badass, and energetic, then you would like 4Ten. 4Ten is fairly new and not so well-known, but their latest single is a real bop. And they definitely have good visuals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girrrrrrirl thank you so much (or guy)! I already listened to Crazy and Hate and they are in my playlist even if at the beginning I was not crazy about Hate (to me the chorus didn't blend very well with the rest of the song which is AMAZING) but now I bop when I listen to it. Yesterday I listened to L.I.E by EXID and it was ok. The beginning was a miss for me but then it turned out well, so I will surely check out the ones you mentioned. Girls Generation is maybe the reason I feel this way as I listened to a couple to their songs and didn't like them, but they have so many song and I didn't listened to all of them so I will give them another chance. I haven't heard anything by Red Velvet and 9MUSES, so I'll take your advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and I'm a guy, but I understand that my avi is misleading) Another addition: Hyuna's earlier song 'Red' is awesome too. It kind of had to grow on me, but now I looove it. Especially now that I know that the chorus is based on a Korean song for children... For some reason I think that's cool. I have no idea which songs by 2NE1 you know, but you need to listen to their whole album 'Crush'... It has many songs that were ahead of their time. Excellent production and songwriting on that album! And I mentioned this one earlier, but I wanted to make it easier for you to watch, because it's amazing!

PoshLife 16,928 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I second listening to "Crush." My favorite song is "Happy," it's actually really bouncy so kinda different from what I expect from 2NE1, but it's soooo catchy and bittersweet and just mmph Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those images that got released for their first member confused me, because some of them looked fierce, but then there was also one of her in a school uniform... I really don't need another cutesy rookie group, we already have enough (or too many) of those... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already like some of GOT7's songs, View and Married to the Music by SHINee, Bang Bang Bang by BIGBANG and Call me Baby by EXO I don't know if I'm already able to suggest songs to you as you probably know more about K-pop than I do, but since you asked and I love all the song you mentioned I might as well try. I guess you know Fantastic Baby as well, so maybe Sober (which is a bit rockish), Ain't No Fun, Feeling, Bingle Bingle all by BIGBANG. Also Wings by Daesung from BIGBANG and Good Boy by GD x Taeyang. EXO's Overdose, Tender Love, Love Me Right and El Dorado (it's a weird song as it seems many different songs put together but I love it since the first time I listen to it so who knows). BTS is also pretty popular but as you haven't mentioned them I think that maybe you know but you're not into them. Anyway, Silver Spoon (Baepsae) has an amazing choreo, Save Me is really good. Dope, Fire and Run you probably have already listened to, but if you haven't maybe you should try, even though I don't know if they fit your taste. Sam Kim is almost unknown and has debuted this year, but he is really good. If you don't like ballads probably he is not for you but you should definitely check out Dance (it's not a ballad) and No Sense (feat. Crush). White T-Shirt and Dress Up by Jonghyun (SHINee) are my favorites from his new album She Is. Also by a SHINee member, Taemin, Press Your Number. If I haven't caught your right taste but you still want to try some boy groups, just tell me the genre and I might find smth. 4 minutes ago, MartijnMonster said: You're absolutely welcome!
