    0:30 Commonly Used Sounds
    We don't exactly know for sure who adds in the bass slide, but my best guess would be Yoo Young-Jin who is credited as producer/arranger for all of the songs in the Bass Slide segment (except for DFTF and Punch). Another possible candidate would be Kenzie but she is mostly credited as a lyricist/composer and not as a producer. It could even be LSM himself for all we know.
    3:00 Common SM Tropes
    I did wanna share some more examples of SM songs using processed vocals and catchy basslines as the core of their tracks, though the video might get pretty long.
    K-Pop is very much inspired by 90's R&B and Hip Hop. SM is especially interested in bringing it into the mainstream. Though with their newly established "SMCU", they're going for a more 2012 Dubstep route with some of their title tracks but mostly with content outside of their full songs like teasers and promotional videos (aespa's SYNK project, NCT interludes, SuperM member teasers)
    Also I TOTALLY FORGOT TO INCLUDE some f(x) songs in here, Red Light would definitely fit into the beat switch section since I considered ICC. I wasn't too sure if I should include ICC in the first place since it doesn't switch up as much as the other songs did. I wanted to include Sherlock and One as well because I feel like those two are worth noting even if they're basically 2-song medleys.
    4:53 Finished Instrumental
    8:31 Outro
    Had fun working on this video, and it took waaay longer than it should have but I'm happy how it turned out! Was not able to include as much footage of me actually working on the instrumental cause my laptop does not want to be my friend.

      Actually if you literally translate that directly, it's not gonna be that weird, because in Korean it's mean something like "Wilderness" so, if the context is right, then it's right. The thing is, the translator did not translate Kwangya, they instead put it just Kwangya, so for us that aren't Korean, it's look kinda off. Then again, the SMCU thing, so the translator obviously wouldn't translate Kwangya.

      That is SMP genre. SM Music & Performance genre.
      Part of what sets the company apart from the others in the industry is that their artists perform in the SMP genre - a style of music that is unique to SM Entertainment acts. A term coined by the company in the mid-90's with H.O.T, SMP combines rock and R&B with hip-hop beats allowing for very strong dance performances.
      The SMP genre is not only to be heard - rather, songs by SM artists are to be experienced. With precise choreography, flawless staging, and over-the-top visuals, any SM artist is sure to amaze their audience.

    I love how SM always adds some vocals you don't really hear but the song won't be the same without it... and the fact that even the craziest songs have an R&B bridge to let the main vocals show off but it never seems out of place or wrong in the song progression. It's like the party stops for a moment, teases you with some honey vocals and then restarts :)

    and something that is worth noting is that although their songs possess those “trademark sm sounds”, all their songs sound so different!!! that’s truly worth highlighting. And i also want to note how each group has its own distinct style. Like you could go and listen to a random song of an SM group and be like “that’s *so* them”! That’s truly worth noting because it shows their versatility as well as refined style. All their songs are truly beautiful. No other company is doing it like them hate sm or love it.
