Before Gangnam Style: K-Pop

Before there was Psy on the Eastern seaboard and the Gangnam Style craze, there was Korea's music machine. They were the glitzy, fashionable and corporate grown artists that the Western world only hopes to raise in farm fields one day.



Never saw so many members of a group.  It's like trying to capture all social types within a demographic.  I don't think the Western world could withstand such an onslaught of corporate owned artists.

Here's a really good mash up of 30 K-Pop songs. Listen to some of the melodies and you'll hear "samples" that other Western songs have inexplicably duplicated.  Mostly raps which is disturbing in itself.

Fine, breaking up is better
This was going to happen between us anyway
You were going to do this anyway
Why do I still feel this way
When I know there's nothing left to say
Because of it I lose you, girl in the mirror

Bringing it to you daily, it's only from the best
After School, Play Girlz know how to get fresh
So cool, so right, just so tasty
We bring it fast forward, the fellas go crazy

There's only two of us under the colorful lights
A new story, Lollipop 2
My style is more thrilling than sweet
I got you

Every day I love you
Every night I run
I'm sorry, please come back to my side
Every day I bounce bounce
Every night I bang bang
Round and round
Hope you'll step to me, step to me
Round and round

Round halo
Round oh!
Round and round girl
Round after 
Round f(x) 
Round and round boy
Round love 
Round girl
Round magic 
(One) not without you, yeah
We're out!
