MadArchitect 770 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 honest question since i do not know much about kpop as a genre culturally, why are those groups so adjacent to hip hop and black culture? like why do they rap so often? don't they have their own culture? or is it more pandering towards america? it does seem like that to me..

Sepsami 17,997 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 To be fair they are literally singing the lyrics of a song. they're not born and raised in America either if I'm not mistaken, so depending on how old this is how were they supposed to know this was a big deal? I'm European and as a teen a lot of hiphop fans my age would say the N-word aswell. A lot of it has to do with the time and place we were living in. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand No one is seriously calling for them to be killed or anything over it. It's just ignorant and it's annoying seeing randoms trying to brush it off as a non issue for anyone in general. It brings out all the people who do know better but wanna justify/normalize it for non-Black people to use. Edited March 31 by Roughhouse Dandy This is my Hannah Montana™️ lipgloss.

Expand Kpop consists of many different sounds and styles, there's a lot of ballads, house, EDM, bubblegum pop, garage, rock, etc. American audiences started picking up on the more hiphop based groups, as per that market's tastes, which then brought a lot of international success. So if that's all someone's seen, it may appear as though it's all like that. It isn't though and doesn't necessarily reflect the charts and tastes in Korea. Kpop also doesn't exist in a vacuum either, they've always collaborated with producers and writers from all over the world for decades, just like Western artists do. So a lot of groups that are more hiphop based have often been moulded by many black and international artists, from Bruno Mars' Hooligans to even Parris Goebel over a decade ago. There is a particular kpop 'sound' that a lot of long-term fans will recognise that was really defined in the late 2000s/early 2010s, that still prevails, and it isn't really this more hiphop or trappy sound that a lot Western people may be familiar with. Much of it just comes down to what sounds/image resonates with a particular market. Like how Gaga was able to break in markets outside of the US first since they were more familiar with dance music whilst she really had to push hard to get US radio play Unrelated to this blackpink + YG mess but hopefully that makes sense Edited March 31 by nexus 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is bad, but don't expect every single country and culture to understand the context and adjust to it all the time. In Poland for most of my life there were almost no black people in my hometown. Do you expect that everyone there will understand that it is bad and should not say it? Most of them won't because it's about people they don't even get to see on the streets. I mean, it's better now, but 10 years ago... 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
