K-Pop, Why Do I Listen To It? (Blog Post)

This is going to be a blog post about why I listen to K-Pop. So you've seen a few of my posts on K-Pop, but there are people who ask me why I listen to it, especially because I am not Korean. I believe that music is universal, and anyone who speaks any language can enjoy any song. I myself didn't really get into K-Pop until early last year after my cousin introduced me more into it.

Back in the day, I used to only listen to English language music, this was right up until 2010 ended, then something happened to me, I didn't enjoy much English music from 2011+ . I believe that music has evolved for most countries, but none more so than English music. It's hard to explain, but when you take a look at what the songs deals with, then you realise what they're really talking about, but I won't go into detail on what almost everyone are covering their lyrics on(at least the more popular songs), but I felt like they were being used too much, and I felt like a change.

I escaped to more Chinese songs for a while, and back to the older English songs, but even I find the newer Chinese songs are a bit the same to the English style. With K-Pop you have the dancing(very in time), lyrics/ topics which most other languages don't sing about, and catchy music, all with the elaborate packaged albums and awesome looking hairstyles, something I think English albums are slowly being influenced by.

So I'm not saying newer English music is bad or anything. I still listen to the occasional songs, but what this post is more explaining is why I listen to K-Pop music. I've also found that people wonder why you would listen to music which I don't understand. Although some of their lyrics are partly in English, a majority is Korean. This is something English music can't do, though they get around this by mixing up slangs etc, though most people don't notice when it happens.

So yeah, anyway, I hope that explains my K-Pop music history, and why I listen to it. Though the majority of music I listen to is in Mandarin (did you know that some K-Pop groups release Chinese albums (mostly in Mandarin)??), my main area is local Malaysian artists. The style I listened to as a child has changed me to the way I am today and what type of music I listen to,

Post is getting too long so I'll stop it here. Goodnight!!
