K-pop has exploded in popularity and is more popular than ever.
But what exactly is K-pop, and how do you get into it? If you’re new to the genre, we’ve got the answers:
Can you make a K-pop playlist?
A playlist is a collection of songs that you’ve chosen to listen to in the same order.
You can use playlists to help you enjoy music more, or just for fun.
You might make a list of your favorite songs from an album, or include only songs that have certain characteristics—like fast tempos and high energy.
You can make K-pop playlists too! Just choose a few of your favorite K-pop songs, add them to a list on YouTube or Spotify (or both), then click “Playlist” at the top of the screen.
That way you can share it with others too! If they like what they hear, they may create their own K-pop playlist too!
What is K-pop?
K-pop is a musical genre that originated in South Korea in the 1990s.
Over the past two decades, it has spread to other parts of Asia and the world.
The term “K-pop” is an abbreviation of Korean pop music; it’s also sometimes called by its English name, “Korean pop.”
Music from this genre typically features catchy melodies and energetic dance moves performed by young artists who have been trained for years to perfect their performance skills.
Most songs are sung in Korean—but some famous K-pop artists sing some songs in English.
Why is it so popular?
K-pop has quickly become one of the biggest genres in music today and it’s growing every year.
So why has K-pop become so popular? Well, K-pop is a great way to learn about Korean culture.
Through songs and videos, you can see what life is like in Korea and how people there look at life.
K-pop also has many different genres that appeal to people of all ages.
For example, if you like pop music then you could listen to a song by Girls Generation or EXO; if you like hip hop there are groups like BTS; if electronica is your thing then Turbo might be more up your alley; rockers should check out CNBLUE!
There are lots of other groups too so no matter what kind of music genre you prefer there’s something here for everyone!
Who are some of the biggest names in K-pop right now?
Here are some of the biggest names in K-pop right now.
BTS (Bangtan Boys) is a seven-member boy band from South Korea.
They have a huge international following, especially among young people who love their music and their message of self-expression and empowerment.
EXO (Exceed) is another Korean boy band that’s been around for about five years now.
It’s also made up of nine members—two of whom left the group in 2017—and its members hail from South Korea, China, Japan, and America.
Girls’ Generation is another popular K-pop girl group that has nine members as well; they’re known for being talented singers and dancers who sing songs with catchy beats!
These girls were originally formed in 2007 but got together again in 2011 after some years apart to make new music together once more!
The “girls” part comes from the fact that these singers are all women ages 25 to 32 years old who grew up listening to Michael Jackson when they were younger children too!
GOT7 stands for “Goals Of Teenager”, which describes what this seven-member boy band wants its fans worldwide – namely everyone between 10-20 years old – to achieve during their lifetime: success at school or work without sacrificing fun times spent with family and friends each day!
What an amazing idea!
What are some of the songs that have defined K-pop for you?
If you’re interested in making a K-pop playlist but aren’t sure where to start, here are some songs that helped me understand the genre in a deeper way.
- “Gee” by Girls’ Generation: When I first heard this song, I was taken aback by how relatable it was. The lyrics are simple and lighthearted, but they manage to capture both young love and friendship at their finest moments. It’s such a feel-good song! Plus, there’s choreography involved too! (Plus if you’re into girl groups like me.)
- “Genie” by Girls’ Generation: Another great example of classic K-pop at its best—catchy hooks with subtly layered harmonies supported by expertly crafted production work make this one of my favorite songs to sing along with when driving home after work on Friday evenings (or any time). * “Diva” by BIGBANG: This is another one that has stuck with me since high school; just hearing those opening bars still makes me want to dance around my living room while practicing vocal runs on top of them with reckless abandon.”
How do you get into K-pop if you’re new to it?
If you’re new to K-pop, it can be a bit overwhelming.
There are so many groups and solo artists—how do you know which ones to start listening to?
Luckily, there’s a fairly straightforward strategy that can help out with this.
First of all, look at the most popular groups.
These are going to be the ones who have achieved an enormous amount of success in Korea (and sometimes internationally) and who have been around for quite some time.
For example, EXO is one such group: they’ve been around since 2012, released seven albums, and performed in sold-out stadiums all over Asia—and even made it onto American talk shows! But what about newer groups? Well…uh…we’ll get back to that later…
Second, listen only to songs from these established musicians on Soundcloud or Spotify (or whatever service you prefer). If there’s an artist you like but aren’t familiar with yet—like Red Velvet or NCT 127—then go ahead and check out their discographies before moving on; just don’t add them directly onto your playlist yet until after learning more about them as individuals first! Finally, if none of these suggestions work out then try finding something else entirely related instead (like drama series) so long as it fits within your preferences.”
What are some of the best places to find new music from Korea?
You can find a lot of great Korean songs on YouTube.
You can also search for your favorite music on SoundCloud and other audio sites.
You may want to start with K-Pop artists like EXO, BTS, BigBang, or Twice (although they’re not all necessarily “k-pop”).
You’ll probably have the most luck searching for these bands’ names on Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon Music — although some artists will be missing from these platforms because they don’t have contracts with those companies yet.
Do the lyrics matter as much as the beat and melody?
You might think that the lyrics are less important, but they’re not.
In fact, if you can’t understand the words in a song, then it’s usually not a good song. Do you know what else is important?
The melody and beat of the song!
If you don’t hear any rhythm or melody in your K-pop playlist, then maybe it isn’t so hot after all!
Do all K-pop songs sound alike?
No, not really.
Just because two songs share the same genre doesn’t mean they sound alike.
There are so many different types of K-pop that you can find songs that sound like what you like or don’t like.
Conclusion
There’s a lot of variety in K-pop, so you can be sure to find songs that make you feel happy, sad, or even nostalgic.
It’s not just about the music itself—for many fans of Korean culture, K-pop is more than just a genre.
It’s about being part of something bigger than yourself and connecting with other people who share the same interests as well as cultural heritage.
