Uhh, thats a boldface lie ITF I have ever heard one. Lol TXT has higher % of song tht have repetitive choruses AND songs with very basic meaning (as their discography relies heavily on love in some way, almost exclusively). Their discography is predominately compromised of a handful of easy listening genres and a lot of bubblegum pop-rock music. They are the epitome of what kpop was intended to be, and I'm sorry but there are countless groups that check the same boxes. They have a leading pop-rock sound, but their company is so dead set on trying to make them #1 that they keep trying all the styles of everyone else who is at the top which destroyed it because now they're sound flip flops back and forth between what they SHOULD have stuck with, and trying to be evey other group. However, in terms of their choruses and their lyrics, they have lot of empty choruses and a lot of repetitive choruses. That is just NORMAL aspect of music, stop using it as an insult and claiming they don't do it. They do. And because they have half as much music as the groups you named, they infact do it ALOT more often. Because I have heard all of their title tracks and many of their main b sides. So even if they didn't have any in the rest of their discography, they would still have around 10% of their music that fits that exact description. Meanwhile, Stray Kids, who's early music FYI was HEAVY in the style of EMO rock/hard rock/hiphop/dance, since predebut, therefore being the group who popularized rockNroll in 4th gen, before TXT even debuted. They only have 5% of their discography that falls into that category of songs with such choruses. They also have over 50 different genres and sub-genres, not to mention they have JUST AS MUCH easy listening music as they do hard music. They have shit ton of ballads too. And their lyrics are considered to be by far some of the deepest in kpop because they tackle mental health A LOT, social issues such repression and bullying, and breaking away from toxic mindsets and behaviors. Han I literally considered the lyrical genius of his generation. They just don't bother to do that shit for their most recent title track because why the hell would they when the general public literally toe them down BECAUSE of the depth of their music and BECAUSE they were tackling taboo subjects. So they purposefully make title tracks now that, instead of generating hate tht hurt because they re attacking their depth, they make song with production tht incorporates everything you hater hate the most. Loud, "Noisy" music, adapting it as people change what it is they hate the most, and incorporating the basic lyrics they want... only they happen to usually either be making fun of those who hate them, or making sure they know how pathetic they are.

2024-07-01 04:54:15 +0000 UTCI agree. I'm not MOA but I think TXT is so fresh and original in the 4th Gen. Skz and Ateez feel the exact kind of music I think of when I think "kpop," following the lines of groups like NCT and Monsta X. It's a lot of guys stomping around half shirtless repeating choruses made of one word or just sounds even in MVs that have less story than stages and over-the-top props. TXT stands out as being decidedly not that, in my opinion.

2024-04-28 01:56:40 +0000 UTCSKZ is known as the the Linkin Park of K-pop. So it’s been done before but not very much. K-pop is very much still bubblegum in my opinion. I am not a fan of all of Txt’s songs but I think they are very talented. But it’s weird for people to get insulted by it bc SKZ gets constant hate for not sounding K-pop. So I wouldn’t take it to heart. They have come a long way and are doing well.

2024-04-09 03:14:56 +0000 UTCAbout the "sounding like kpop" thing, i think a lot of people interpret it as an insult because it's been used like an insult for a long time. There are a lot of people who will dismiss a whole genre of music and reduce it to the "just sounds like kpop" thing to say that it's all basically the same and not worth listening to. The phrase alone doesn't mean anything bad and i personally don't get cut anymore when people use it but for a loooong while listening to kpop was kinda like watching anime - not cool and a perfect excuse to bully somebody. So a lot of fans are a lil sensitive about it

2024-04-08 23:50:15 +0000 UTCIt's so interesting that TXT is so typically kpop for you. Cause for me it's the exact opposite. Groups like SKZ/Ateez (that i also like) are much more typically kpop sounding to me. TXT has a lot of influences that are so out of the box for kpop. Their whole rock/emo era (loser/love, lovesong, etc.) was something that wasn't really done before in kpop. Although deja vu is really kpop, in that it resembles 2nd gen songs a lot.
