Eh, not feeling Crayon.. You should try "Light it up" by GD feat. Tablo & Dok2.

OT: I don't only listen to modern day kpop really.. few people seem to realize that there's also underground korean music and old school kpop.
Some of my favorite artists are: After school, Clazziquai, Epik High, SNSD, BoA, Brown Eyes, Byul, 4Men, Untouchable, SES, T-ara, Eluphant, Drunken Tiger, Primary, IU, Verbal Jint, Kim Bum Soo, g.o.d., Deux, Dynamic Duo, G.NA, Geeks, K. Will, KCM, Leessang, MC Sniper, miss A, Nell, Noel, Urban Zakapa, Outsider, Quiett, Secret, Shinhwa, TBNY, Younha, Tasha, 10cm, and many more i can't remember..

I just started like it more, and I'm not saying I'm a fan, yet. I only started like a few songs from Big Bang haha.
I don't have any favorites.

This will probably be flamed, but you probably already know this.. ._.

But I'm mostly a B2uty, Elf, Exotic, and Cassie. (Which I can't wait till Exo finally comes back ;
Also can't wait for Homins comeback, even though It's just a few days away.

@WorkOfArt: Dang... 450 artists o-o"

I know what you mean with disliking B2ST, but this is a preference thing. I mean when I listen to B2ST I want to dance like a retard xD The same goes for some 2NE1 songs. I'm more of a like... feel comfortable with the song-type of guy. The song must have like, a click feeling to it for me so that I have to like it. It doesn't necessarily has to be like Dance pop or reg pop o3o Also, about the "cool boy" vibe, I don't feel that way XD I don't know how to describe it though :T

Hipster is just the tip of the iceberg! -hatehatehate- Naw but I know what you mean xD I mean after I found out about Gangnam, I thought he was like "OMG A NEW K-POP ARTIST" until I read in the description that this was his come back song... I mean... Where has this guy been all my life? I NEED MORE

[quote=ShadeCombo]@WorkOfArt I'm a hypocrite for agreeing with you, considering that I DO listen to SNSD, SHINee, B2ST and what not xD I wish I had the time to listen to more K-music overall and not just the big artists/groups .-. The same goes for J-music, whereas I listen to mainly 3-4 J-rock bands and about 2 J-pop ones. Alas, I listen to some J-trance/techno because of my brother's love for that genre xD

OT: Honestly I like gangnamstyle even though it's so "mainstream" atm. My fav boy group would probably be B2ST, whereas my fav girl group would be 2NE1 XD I don't know... there's just something different the girls from 2NE1 has that no other group/artist has shown so far, IMO F1. B2ST's songs are just awesome though xD I like them a lot.

Other groups I tend to listen to;
SNSD, T-ara, SHINee, one or two songs from 2PM, Girl's Day (Twinkle Twinkle is so cute <3), KARA & SuJu.

As for now, my top three songs would be: I love you - 2NE1, Loner - Outsider and Twinkle Twinkle - Girl's day C:[/quote]

There's definitely some kpop that does appeal to me. Pandora - Kara is a prime example, and so are all the songs by Exid.
I think I've listened to around 450 different groups or artists by now, and I agree that 2NE1 is rather unique, but their songs are not as unique as they could be. Their songs have a very similar feeling to each of them. I love you feels similar to Lonely or I hate you.

I really dislike B2ST though. Their songs bore me and if I do like one, I get bored of it fast. You can say that they give off a "cool boy" vibe in their songs. But that vibe doesn't appeal to me at all, I don't prefer songs that make me want to rock my head, but songs that make me want to get up and dance like a retard.

Call me hipster, but I've been listening to PSY for 3 or 4 years now, so his Gangnam Style still appeals to me, and whether or not it's popular wouldn't have affected my opinion of it. Though I'm happy for the guy.

Figures. Kpop fans are all over Big Bang. I come to these threads sometimes to hope to find someone who loves something other than the big time k-pop groups like Big Bang, KARA, SNSD, EXO, etc.

I don't like K-pop. I like K-music. There's a few K-pop songs I do like, but I mostly lean towards K-R&B, K-dance pop (yes there's a difference between pop and dance pop, a pretty huge one), and ballads. I'd say my top choices are
After School
Chi Chi
Exid
T-ara
Tablo
Secret

But most of all, I love Jun Areia. He's not a singer or anything, he's a DJ who specifically remixes K-music. A lot of songs that I found either unbearable or sub-par were made AMAZING because of this man. More than half my favorite songs are songs that he remixed. Such as Troublemaker; I dislike the original, but the remixed version is amazing.

[quote=Lillianaire]What's wrong with Gangnam Style, jeez. You're not a true kpop fan if you're discriminating towards artists that make it big.
How is Psy not representative of Kpop? Just because he doesn't do the electronic beat and heavy autotune and catchy "melodies" doesn't mean he isn't considered a Kpop artist. I was about to respond to this thread with my favorite group, but your hate towards Gangnam Style was just ridiculous.[/quote]

I think TS, is leaving out Gangnam Style because most people who hated KPop suddenly turns into "OMG I LOVE KPOP THEIR MUSIC IS SO AMAZING I OVE THEM SO MUCH OMG PSY FOREVER YEA!" appeared when Gangnam Style came out.

I don't really have a favorite group but IU is one of my favorite solo artists. I prefer to listen to korean hip-hop and ballads. Epik High and Davichi are probably my favorite for those genres. ^^
