@Mark Donald Your claim is off, it should be "No racial bias in people killed by cops with guns when using violent crime as a proxy for need to use lethal force" instead of "No racial bias in policing". Policing is more than shooting someone with lethal force. George Floyd wasn't shot and wasn't violent. Probably could be both if the camera's weren't rolling though.
I wish Europeans would stop trying to be agitators in American politics. You people don't have to deal with the strife organizations like BLM cause in the US: please just worry about your own country.
@@borgwardd24 "I wish people from other countries didn't point out abuses of authority in mine because it threatens my false sense of superiority and security. " Why do they need to be living here to be against cops shooting rubber bullets and tear gas at peaceful protesters?
@@Jordloopin I personally am more worried about the dozens of people being killed, beaten, robbed, and having their businesses burned down by "protestors." But by all means, egg them on from afar, and make sure to post about it on your Instagram, too. I hope the likes are worth it for you.
I actually dont hate the music. It can be really catchy or technical and as a film maker, their videos are top notch. The thing that i dislike is the fanbase. Not all of them ofc, but the fanatics and toxic fans are a whole new breed
Hell, mate. I have nothing against the genre, only for the fanactics and the industry that grinds its artists. But you're absolutely right. The first few times I heard K-pop I was like "shit, it sounds cheesy and kinda cheap (in a comercial way), easy to sell, but the amount of job composing and producing it amazes me.".
it feels so weird seeing someone praise and respect kpop so much. even ppl in the comments are so kind- im more use to hate and stuff but this was a nice change so yeah tyyyy
@@cengi i feel like you don't have to interact with the fandoms to listen to the music. there are a lot of groups and soloists i listen to but i don't interact with the fandom. it's really easy lol sooo
@@cengi I LOVE kpop but I rarely interact with the community, places to stay away from the fandom is TikTok and Twitter. Instagram is pretty wholesome tho:)
Am sure the bridge isn't sampled and maaaan the chords chosen for that bridge were tasty. Also I like the progression in the "girl front" sample that Singular Sounds made over what it was based on (Streamers by Wave Racer)
One thing I find interesting is when you look up interviews with western kpop songwriters, they say that with western music they are often asked to simplify their songs, and with kpop they are told to keep adding elements. You did a good job covering the main types of kpop sounds, but there are also songs influenced by all sorts of genres: doo wop, psytrance, bossa nova, metal - you name it, kpop has it. And then there are songs with crazy switch-ups that combine multiple genres, Girl's Generation's I Got a Boy for example. It's such a fun and dynamic genre
It's also why "K-pop" is meaningless. It's slickly produced, but it's just constantly copying whatever the current trend is. Which is why I don't understand the fans. How can you be a fan of a group when they don't have their own sound and every other group is the same?
Then uv never truly *~listened~* to kpop bc they have the most interesting musical productions that a lot of western artist never do. There are so many genres in kpop that whatever u thought you dont “dig” is a small part of it.
I don't know what kinda of music you like, but I recommend you to give it a try, there's a lot of diverse stuff in K-pop, you might find something you like.
@KAEVOUR absolutely, I prefer Polyphia so, in this argument, they are the only band capable of original ideas and anything remotely reassembling them is theft.
@@thomasevanko8434 Great I guess we'll never be able to create new music because making anything similar is theft. Lol, there r only so many notes mate. U guys act like just because Gfriend used a sample that Western artists r not doing it the other way too. Six nine has done even worse by taking straight up from another kpop group as well. So let's not point fingers. At least G-friend reinvented it I can't say that much for 6nine lol.
The amount of research and respect for the "genre" (if you can even classify it as once genre because it can be so different depending on group, album, ...) really made me happy! A lot of people like to either blindly love or hate kpop so to see this well researched video made me very happy. Edit: spelling error oops.
I never really had an opinion on K-Pop, only knowing that people could get quite rabid over it (not that it's unique, but the intensity can be staggering at times), but it's actually awesome to learn the intricacies that go into the genre. I wonder if this exploration will prove to be a gateway drug...
@@emoshrek8902 I agree, that's why i put it in berween "...", i'd also describe it more as a collection, industry, category, ... Kinda like how the description EDM doesn't say much about the type of song you're listening to either and there's sooo much out there.
Feel Special by twice has this crazy production technique that takes modern production a step further. In the beginning, the tail of reverb in the chant is sidechained to a track that doesn't even come in till later. The result is you hear the pulse of the rhythm even though the bass/kick driving the rhythm isn't even there.
That is nothing special, i have heard that technique in many other EDM songs and anyone who listens to various genres of EDM can tell that, love twice though.
Just wanna leave this here: You're one of the easiest music production channels to watch. The way you explain things and organize the process is great. Im heavily inspired by your videos, and actually manage to learn some actual music production. Keep doing whatchu doing bud~
Been following for years and have made a transition from producing EDM to pitching Kpop and Pop. Seeing all the research and effort you put into this is amazing! The end result was brilliant, and although you didnt directly mention it you did switch up the second verse and add what would be a rap part for groups with more members!
For those who don't know, Ashley Alisha (who did the vocals on the track in this video) produced Satellite and Curiosity by Loona, as well as songs by GWSN, OMG, Itzy, and other groups.
It's always weird to hear people say they don't like kpop songs, cause it's not a genre and there's so much variety. Dreamcatcher, Twice, and Stray Kids all sound really different, but are all kpop groups. Kpop is just pop in a different language. I really think people could find at least one group or song out of all the Korean idols and idol music that's out there. Saying you don't like kpop is like saying you don't like Britpop. I really appreciate that you put effort into researching kpop. And the song you put together sounded really good. Just a side note: you were really off on most of those genre descriptions for Map of the Soul 7, lol. Boy with Luv is definitely not trap. That's a pure pop song.
I really appreciate you showing so much respect to kpop, I dunno I guess I’ve just heard so many people just immediately hate on it saying it’s cringe and judging from the toxic fans and that makes me really sad because kpop means a lot to me the music and community has helped me a lot surprisingly in self-discovery and mental health. But yeah seeing you respect it means a lot to me, thank you 😭💕
7:46 for those who are interested in this movement & why it works, it's called the dominant tritone substitution or something like that, it's a modified 2-5-1 (in this case, e-a-d) except the 5 chord is replaced with a dominant chord based on the tritone of that 5 (d#). It still has those same tension notes so it kind of serves the same roll as a 5 chord!
I don't like k pop, but boooy, the housy ones are so powerful in their sound, the supersaws that the somehow layer with kick drums, a lot of white noise, beautiful.
I have been looking for a video like this for a while now! Awesome work dude :) What really bothers me is that a lot of people still view kpop in this negative light, saying everything is manufactured etc. What they don’t know is how much theory, thought, and effort is put into making something that sounds nice. Kpop is so diverse and I wish more people knew that. All I hear on the radio nowadays is the same trap beats with the same 808s. The same flute samples or string plucks. The same mumble rappers who rap about drugs, bitches, and cash. I’m honestly so sick of it. As a producer, I admire kpop for its chord progressions, song dynamics, experimental aspects; and just overall the energy the music brings.
i have so much respect you (and ur music choices- such good songssss). id totally show this to someone who doesn't enjoy kpop, as compared to the "show this to a non kpop stan" videos with the robot voice. this is very informative and enjoyable for both audiences. thank you for this video!
I love how you used the same songs to a lot of exemples of different styles and thats really one of the things we love about K-pop the most! Also loved your song, and have to say since I don't saw people talking about it, but you can see you did a good research when you see him using a lot of K-pop B-sides, not only Title songs, and also the jokes (like 9 + Once) lol. The description is soooo on point too lmao, good job.
11:46 different song but same person singing it.. it comes from her solo song and is featured in the unit song, girl front, as a reference. all loona subunits actually try to combine all the styles of the girls' solo songs which i thought was really cool when i found out.
@@kiminamijun Agreed. But as a crazy fan, they dun get why I cheer my boys on lmao. I mean, it's not like I want them to succeed...^.^ But I get how most of us can be super toxic but whence you ignore the nonsense, it's peacefully chaotic.
Thank you for using LOONA as an example! They're not that famous in Korea but they're very well loved by the international kpop fans. I recommend you listen to Dreamcatcher's discography or maybe even their latest album.
i can't understand what was happening but i really wanted to learn how to create instrumentals. i'm not confident in my singing (though i'm in a choir group) but i really wanted to create songs and i want to sing using my own instrumentals. so even with so many stuffs that are passing my head, i still would like to thank you for giving these information. also that sick song, LOVE IT. you created a kpop song without even knowing that much of korea. the amount of research and effort you did is so amazing :) can't wait to make my own songs
This is such a good video! Finally a well-researched kpop video by a non-kpop fan! Thank you so much for this Dylan :) I'm also happy at the inclusion of NCT, they're my favorite group forever 😔✊🏻 and the only group I stan right now XD Kpop companies should hire you to produce for them!
I'm crying I can think of so many songs yours reminds me of. I'm writing a couple tracks atm and without realising it I've taken so many traits from Kpop whoop.
Hey, I really loved your video, I wish I could make some song like this because I've been listening kpop since late last year and it really enchanted me, I liked the fact that you used Loona's songs for this, it's my favorite k group
In case anyone was wondering whats going on at 7.37 where the dominant chord was changed, the chord is actually a secondary diminished chord. Secondary diminished chords can resolve to any major or minor chord that has a root one half step above any note in that chord. secondary diminished d sharp resolves nicely to the emin7. The chromatic descent at 7.44 also works since its a tritone substitution of a 2-5-1 in the key of D, even though that d sharp chord is non diatonic its a tritone substituition of a secondary diminished to root d this could have been accented by making the chord dominant but it works fine as a minor 7
