I fear this post got lost in the shuffle between me impyling that Jorge was a huge boring music nerd and him calling me an a-hole for it.

Let's talk about K-Pop for a second. What is it, exactly? What elements are here that aren't in regular ol' pop songs? You could have told me this was anyone and I wouldn't for a second think that this song came from Korea or that the group that put it out was considered the gold standard for the genre.

Can we discuss K-pop a bit before someone moves this thread too far away from the gem that is "Dynamite" by BTS?

I actually was shared a version of it in a PM seh recently, as luck would have it. I won't share the PM (that would be board-illegal) but I will share that it was in hyperlink form using the phrase "mickey was right"

K-pop only differs from other pop in intensity. It amplifies the most banal and artificial elements of pop to truly otherworldly planes of Black Mirror terror. It has the power to degrade real people into unsettling denizens of the uncanny valley. Only the full might of a society completely wrecked by consumerism can pull off that level of Stepford Wivesian horror. Our fake pop creations can't hope to compete.

Beneath those pastel colors are Lovecraftian horrors beyond comprehension.

I give it 5 bags of popcorn.

This is the content right here. Thanks Burt.

Mickey, you'd be a great addition to this thread's brain trust. Would you kindly reconsider?

One wild and precious life. I'm going to block this site in my desktop

Just please help us explain to Jorge why the songs are objectively bad. You don’t even have to listen to them.

I knew it wasn't in GD but I'm truly astonished that this post was in a thread in PJChat. I would have bet my life that it arose from some interminable debate over whether NIN was more or less cringe than Modest Mouse.

This has started exactly as expected

Mickey · **Posted:** Wed April 06, 2022 9:28 pm

Just wait till it gets ableist.

I think the original one was about poetry. This is thodoks quoting you and taking some liberties

Jorge · **Posted:** Wed April 06, 2022 9:35 pm

"Putting a little fixing on a mistake" was originally "time moving at a snails pace" if I recall correctly

Mickey · **Posted:** Wed April 06, 2022 9:38 pm

Oh right, yes, that makes sense. That would be far too earnest of a post for 2014 Mickey, definitely more of a 2010 post. So the original is somewhere on the old board.

Mickey · **Posted:** Wed April 06, 2022 9:38 pm

I truly think it might have been in a thread about Modest Mouse and NIN.

Jorge · **Posted:** Wed April 06, 2022 9:45 pm

Time has revealed NIN as the winner of that particular face-off, I'd say
