New K-Pop bands

Ever heard of bands like: BTS, EXO, Girls' Generation?


   Well they are names of bands, K-Pop bands. What does 'K-Pop' and how did it start?



 Well, created by singers in the South Korea region, K-Pop was just another band. But it got bigger around the eighties and nineties.

   It didn't 'really' start until North and South Korea were side by side. It wasn't considered a hit, not until Korean Ballard became a namesake. But how did it make it to Western Civilization?


  Well? How do boy bands, Britney Spears and Christina Agulaira become popular? Well from the start, it was really from the beginning, when they were young.

  Doesn't mean there was a Korean Mickey Mouse club (was there?)

   What do I think of them? They seem popular, but I don't know many of their songs.

Ever heard of "Gangnam style?" So popular back in the mid 2000's by a singer name Sly, also a K-Pop singer. All I know is that song was.....annoying.

Some famous K-Pop bands aren't all boy bands, but some can be girl pop bands, one in famous is "Twice" a huge female K-Pop band that is very interesting, yet I don't know what they are saying half the time.

   Sometimes K-Pop bands can be questionable on what they are trying to say. Sometimes, they would be bubblegum style pop bands. Talking about...well, sometimes we never know, but we love it either way

  Made in Canada about three girls starting out their own K-Pop band, I think. It was ok, more fore kids.


Another show, even it was more Japanese punk rock, it somewhat felt as if it was K-pop.

I used to watch it, but is Japanese Rock like K-Pop? No, not only are they from two different parts of the world, and somewhat sound similar, it doesn't mean they are the same.

                K-Pop is here to stay, like grunge rock, pop music and even oldies. It is an interesting style of music with lyrics we don't understand, but within the years to come, we've learned to understand it, even if it is still new to us, it has been with us for a long time, and is here to stay
