Korean Music Industry has too much politics.
I like korean music and all, any kinds, whatever. However! The way the industry and its label treats artists is pretty fucked up. It's been past more than a decade and singers seemed to turn around into entertainers, at the same time they be singing.
Boybands, Girlbands - labels develop a pre-calculated pattern of how the bands are formed to bring attractions to the eye and what these bands can do.
Does anyone have a clue what i'm talking about? Maybe not. I dunno.
But I see korean music in a way of a battery - once it's try, go find replacements - or new ones.
if techno was the shiet in korea, and if it fades, some other type of music comes by, become spread, and bring new attention to the crowd.
nothing is wrong.
but if there are artists that specializes in hiphop,rock,jazz, whatever - do they have to follow a trend of music that is popular by overall in korea?
again, let's say techno was the thing of 2k2.
can u picture drunken tiger busting out techno?
if it was hiphop, can u see lee junghyun spitting verses until the mic gets a dent in it or something?
the trends - they keep fucking around artists who have their own style, yet it's beyond trend.
and it seems that the media hovers that conflict shit pretty well.
i can't even really tell who's overrated or underrated in my own point of view. because it's so damn confusing.
