@breathinjennies This is what I’ve been saying. Back in 1st and 2nd gen they straight copied ans interpolated western music. This is exactly what I am talking about.
The discourse with how K-pop now sounds like American pop is a good one but it has nuance. I post on TT for history sake to center how people who have never heard something can Christopher Columbus it and fans eat it up. But real ones remember. And no we won’t let it slide
@kinasq0@fcs0nme Question can you name or years when it changed? I can. For example shinee replay song from way back was basically fantasia when I see you about 3 years later. Interpolated. You can’t unhear it. Now it’s blatant. And fans are consuming at a rapid pace.
@fcs0nme I now wonder how could a homogeneous culture import “diversity” but never have it organically? Look to other cultures specifically American black culture (I remember before street wear was a thing. Then wuwear came and changed the game) and make it a package for consumption.
@fcs0nme Social media has made it easy to find “inspiration”. Black culture basically showing them the blueprint and they never had to leave the country. Before they had to watch videos listen to the radio visit other places and bring it back home.
@fcs0nme Ok I’m going to stop you right there friend. Name the year and I can name the “inspiration” they took from a few years earlier. Back in 1st gen they would be creative with redoing songs but you’d know the ref. By 3rd gen to 4th they were straight jacking black American vibes.
