keep in mind: this is only the first part in a series that will go on to have a handful of videos in it! what groups do you want to see in part 2? p.s. - the groups in this video were taken from the community post, and of course young posse will remain #1 for a while (unless they stop doing this trend of never repeating genres) but i wanted to get part 1 out and use the comments on here to see what groups i should include in the 2nd part :)
I think because shinee has so many songs, that alot of the genres are used again and again. So the genres arent quite diverse And theyre doing mostly contemp. pop or some rnb or electro music. I think its harder for older groups to constantly do new genres everytime they comeback. Imagine 100+songs that is unique. The fanbase won't be able keep vibing and stay because of the constant change. Easier for new groups to show their potential and adaptability, esp since this generation of kpop has been reached more and influenced more by western music.
sorry for not replying sooner - shinee are one of my ults and i was going to include them, but i started with their discography and their early songs (starting with debut and only ending around misconceptions era) are almost entirely 3 genres - contemporary r&b, electroclash and electropop. this not only was gonna hurt their numbers and look a little sad for me as a hardcore shawol but also its a super tedious task. i have their recent albums in my masterlist (story of light thru hard eras) and those are definitely more diverse, so i would love to at least include them in pt2 to showcase their diversity in later releases! plus, they have some genres that are super uncommon and those would be cool to mention, i.e. cøde being trouse!
Honestly it's MAMAMOO that has they have every genre songs From rock to jazz From Latin to Arabic influences , hip hop , trap , R&B , ballads, jack swing , house
@@winniejung imo maybe not kiof, but IVE hasn't made a single thing similar to their prior release; the middle eastern sound of Eleven, the anti drop electro minimalistic Love Dive, the gay anthem disco sample of After LIKE; girl crush with Kitsch, the ballad Either Way, Baddie specially; Heya and Accendio don't have anything to do with each other, and same for I Am. They got their identity, but their titles are VERY versatile in sound imo
@@chromaticasforecast4419 I can see it now I guess it's because I listen to their music in albums and their albums are very cohesive so they I just thought they sounded similar ifykwim
@@winniejung I mean, I get what you're saying but I'd disagree to an extent; the album is COHERENT more than cohesive, bc I think each of their projects are rich in variety. Cherish, Blue Blood, Kitsch, I Am, Shine With Me, Hypnosis and Lips are SO different. I've MINE it's the titles bringing in the diversity, but even their latest is proof as well. The common denominator aside from their talent and concept is the AMAZING MUSIC lol
I was gonna mention tripleS in the community post but I didn't think it was "diverse" enough. Boy was I wrong lol. Thank you for putting them on the list 😊
If you like alt R&B in kpop you might like SZA's debut album or some of FKA Twigs earlier songs (two weeks and video girl specifically remind me of Underwater by Red Velvet)
I was a bit surprised seeing Dreamcatcher at 10, but I think for a group whose main niche is rock, they are super diverse. If I’m not mistaken, they blend genres quite a lot, like for example Diamond is moombahton and rock.
@gelesic6757 their discography truly embodies their jazzy and confident concept up until Purple album. And even though I didn't listen their b-sides from what era yet, I still stand with the fact, what their discography is truly a masterpiece from the very start.
really cool video! definitely going to check out young posse. also gave me a new respect for lsf and aespa - since i feel like those two groups in particular have such a defined concept and aesthetic, it’s really cool to see how it works across so many genres
Idk what the process of analysis was but I wondered how you would categorised songs like Savage by aespa which have a lot of mix of genres. Did you consider all the genres. A lot of kpop songs actually have a mix of genres and don't necessarily always stick to one specific genre to begin with. It would be cool to actually make a video on how you analysed this. Personally I think this would be a fun idea for a video .
whoever is reading this im sorry for the yapping 💀 white noise>>> BUTTERFLY>>>>>>>>>> out of all the fx songs ive listened to butterfly just does it for me. if i had to describe it in one word id say its hypnotising. like its as if its inviting? super addictive luminous you wanna be luminooooouuuuuuuuus? and mama is obviously art pop because its literally a masterpiece imo its one of the best kpop debuts 😭i especially love the metal version performance. i've listened to that one more than the original song i love listening to classical instruments as well, wish it was more utilised in kpop songs i ADORE dreamcatchers intros 💝💝 theyre just so 🤌i love it when im playing spotify snake and i have to collect a song thats for example a ballad and when i do collect it the next song it be a dreamcatcher intro and you know well my eardrums are BURSTING because of how loud, fast and exaggerating they are (not sure if thats the correct term, but i mean exaggerating in a good way) ( i love it when contrasting songs are back to back when i play spotify snake) (spotify snake is a feature that allows you to play snake with the songs in a playlist, only available on ios mobile i think) i honestly expected groups with a bigger discography like bts or seventeen because i believe that the bigger discography an artist has the more diversity in it? but thats probably just me super amazing and informative video too
the groups i knew would certainly be there are (g)i-dle and le sserafim. while some groups on this list have this variety because of many sub-genres of r&b or pop or rock yet still mainly work in one overall genre, these girls are exploring polar opposite sounds and concepts with each comeback. pop-rock concept? hip-hop concept? some experimental runway typa music? they’ve literally done it all atp and yet still have a very distinct color
For part 2, maybe good chunks of diff gen groups? Until the gen you know best, even if not gen 1&2. Itd be nice to see groups that most dont expect to have a diverse discography
Waaaah love the vid! F(x) had such an unique concept, and were ahead of their time, trying genres not often seen/heard, their sound was so unique!!! (big love for Dreamcatcher hehe
I genuinely love young posse so much just for having a gta concept, even if it’s not the type of music i listen to regularly :D that game was my whole childhood (honestly shouldn’t have lel) i still remember playing it on my friends ps2
Of course the experimental siblings F(x) and Shinee>>>>> The blueprints, they introduced a lot of instrumental and genres like acoustic guitars, city pop, EDM, dubstep, doo wop, rock ballad, xylophone and many more.
It’s crazy cause all the groups i Stan are here. (I only Stan properly like 5 groups but I listen to like everyone) so I guess that means I just like genre exploration 😭😭😭
Young posse is a pleasant surprise! I love most of their songs so much despite the different genres. They just have this signature sound that just works so well
I love this, but also some of these genres are insane 😂 I feel like there has to some middle between "it's all just kpop, the genre is pop" and this, but I don't know where that line should be drawn, and I know for certain that wherever it is drawn, there will be disagreement. In this video, some broad categories of music seemed to have a lot more fine-tuned categories than others. It's so complicated... I'm pretty sure many of these genres probably come from Everynoise, which uses AI to map genres and create names. But what ends up happening is regional differences get created where there isn't a difference in sound, entire genres are made for one artist, and female artists are given different labels than male artists. Like, female artists get "bubblegrunge" instead of grunge, "trap queen" instead of rap, "country dawn" instead of country. It does this with gender, race, country, region, city - everything. It's AI, and it takes the slop we put in and produces slop (not that all the genres it produces are slop, but they have the racist and sexist biases we fed into it). I got more into this as I went on and did research into it. If anyone is interested I recommend reading "The Mediation of Gender, Identity, and Difference in Contemporary (Popular) Music Streaming", if you can manage academic writing, since this stuff is dense and ngl I haven't finished. It's upper division social sciences college homework stuff. good luck
Definitely check out Mamamoo they have a lot of different songs, if you include their solo and subunit work it's even more. Jazz, hiphop, Rock, ballads, Funk, raggaeton, rnb, Latin, blues,... Their isn't much they haven't tried
I should pay more attention to Ateez Doscography. For those interested in Young Posee, Sunhye does an incredible cover of "Beggin’, available in fancams in youtube.
I was not expecting that no. 1 but they are so far quite unique as a group bridging kpop with khiphop quite well even with collabs that were unexpected.
definitely did not expect young posse but it’s pretty cool that they currently have a 100% diversity rate :) i’m a moa so i was expecting txt to be top 5 easily as was the result
lots of experience! i first got interested cuz i took a music theory and music history class at the same time and we talked a lot about in-depth music genres there :D
The rule to count the diversity isn't the best. What with for example Twice? They have hundreds of songs, so they need hundreds of genres to have good diversity? 😅
i definitely agree! but its hard to quantify genre diversity without this sort of formula, and it's been used to quantify diversity for as long as i can remember
stray kids for sure for next part; there are analysis of them but considering how much music they have, it gets outdated quite often. Mamamoo perhaps? They've been in the industry for so long (group analysis...their solo careers would be a whole new video).
keep in mind: this is only the first part in a series that will go on to have a handful of videos in it!

nct! (all units)
SHINee!
Billlie!!!!
nct, skz and shinee
Treasure are pretty diverse. If ppl bothered to get into their discography
I wonder how much diversity Shinee has
Yea, I thought they will include SHINee in it, as known for experimental group ever
I think because shinee has so many songs, that alot of the genres are used again and again. So the genres arent quite diverse
And theyre doing mostly contemp. pop or some rnb or electro music.
I think its harder for older groups to constantly do new genres everytime they comeback. Imagine 100+songs that is unique.

Where is my NCT? Almost all units could be in..👀 And I think Seventeen could be too
I came here thinking nct would be here, your comment told me otherwise 🫤
fr I watched the whole video confidently thinking nct would be first.. lol
@@neosbluesky they're so underrated and under appreciated
@@sushi-shi-shi-shi-shi ikr
nct genuinely takes the cake cus its not only the units that are different from each other, but within each unit they cover SOOO many genres its crazy
I was gonna mention tripleS in the community post but I didn't think it was "diverse" enough. Boy was I wrong lol. Thank you for putting them on the list 😊
Billlie also should be included in this conversation, as they have a very diverse discography but no one ever talks about them 😢
Yes it would be awesome to see a video JUST about Billlie's discog diversity!
🗣️: So... What's your fav genre?
Me: Rage
i think this put into perspective just how much alternative r&b i like
If you like alt R&B in kpop you might like SZA's debut album or some of FKA Twigs earlier songs (two weeks and video girl specifically remind me of Underwater by Red Velvet)
THANKYOUUU SM FOR INCLUDING ITZY
so what kind of music do you listen to? oh pretty much solely romanian popcorn, what about you?
I knew gidle had one of the most diverse choreographies,
but 60%??? damnnn... thats pretty good honestly. thats actually very impressive.
Skz and p1harmony have some of the most divers in kpop skz has 80 genres which is crazy to me. And so is shinee.
I’m literally so baffled that like no one is talking about hem like SERIOUSLY?.
From skz i hear only 2016 intro vibes what are you talking about
Red Velvet have by far the most diverse discography.
And it's not even a contest.
TXT has one of the most diverse discography
Yeah more than lesserafim
Yes
I was a bit surprised seeing Dreamcatcher at 10, but I think for a group whose main niche is rock, they are super diverse. If I’m not mistaken, they blend genres quite a lot, like for example Diamond is moombahton and rock.
so proud of young posse 🫶🏻🫶🏻 it’s gonna be cool to see stray kids in pt 2! their discography is full of unique genres
give me your TMI with that fnaf type beat
if you ever think about doing a number 2 you should try billlie!
Shinee, SVT,nct,Mamamoo,dreamcatcher,bts. These groups got some of the most diverse discography I’ve heard.
Anyways nice video 🥰
SO DAMN PROUD OF YOUNG POSSE!!! They deserve more recognition. I hope they get more successful in future! Also proud of TXT's discography as well
Amazing video! I am pretty interested in Mamamoo's diversity percent.
me too
i love songs like piano man, words dont come easy, i miss you
theyre just tew good

BUTTERFLY>>>>>>>>>> out of all the fx songs ive listened to butterfly just does it for me. if i had to describe it in one word id say its hypnotising. like its as if its inviting? super addictive
luminous you wanna be luminooooouuuuuuuuus?
and mama is obviously art pop because its literally a masterpiece
imo its one of the best kpop debuts 😭i especially love the metal version performance. i've listened to that one more than the original song
i love listening to classical instruments as well, wish it was more utilised in kpop songs
i ADORE dreamcatchers intros 💝💝 theyre just so 🤌i love it when im playing spotify snake and i have to collect a song thats for example a ballad and when i do collect it the next song it be a dreamcatcher intro and you know well my eardrums are BURSTING because of how loud, fast and exaggerating they are (not sure if thats the correct term, but i mean exaggerating in a good way) ( i love it when contrasting songs are back to back when i play spotify snake) (spotify snake is a feature that allows you to play snake with the songs in a playlist, only available on ios mobile i think)

Young Posse Rookies of the Year 💯🔥🔥
absolutely insane bc how is BTS not here
Kpop stans hate bts
love literally all these groupsss, u should do a part 2 with stray kids! sick of ppl saying they make only 1 genre of music
5:35 made me giggle a bit
always been quite a funny title + genre combo to me
ah yes, red velvet and dreamcatcher are my fav
love my YP girls they are so underrated, stan young posse🥰🥰
The groups with a lot of songs is definitely at a disadvantage. 😂
For part 2, maybe good chunks of diff gen groups? Until the gen you know best, even if not gen 1&2. Itd be nice to see groups that most dont expect to have a diverse discography
My favorite discography in all of kpop is definitely BTS, it's simply diverse and very well done... I love it!
COULDN'T MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT GENRE DIVERSITY IN KPOP WITHOUT LOONA!!
f(x) - Queens of Kpop discography. Without f(x) these groups never exist.
true!! f(x) are great
Awesome video!! Wish to see SNSD's discography get analyzed
Young Posse's discography just hits different
Waaaah love the vid!
F(x) had such an unique concept, and were ahead of their time, trying genres not often seen/heard, their sound was so unique!!!
(big love for Dreamcatcher hehe
Yves’ new is really goooddddd
TXT MENTIONED
I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT YOUNG POSSES MUSIC AND FINALLY THEY GET RECOGNITION
i love le sserafim’s hip hop soul songs sm
For some reasons when i see the DIVERSE, i immediately think of T-ARA as the chameleon of Kpop
I genuinely love young posse so much just for having a gta concept, even if it’s not the type of music i listen to regularly :D that game was my whole childhood (honestly shouldn’t have lel) i still remember playing it on my friends ps2
LOONA OH WEVE BEEN KNEW
Of course the experimental siblings

I have never heard of most of these genres. It's amazing how many genres and sub genres folks can come up with.
i'd like to see skz, mamamoo, nmixx, bts and xg (not kpop but still) bc tbh i feel like their discography is insanely diverse
TXT In top 3 where they belong!!! The best discography of 4th gen imo

lots of experience! i first got interested cuz i took a music theory and music history class at the same time and we talked a lot about in-depth music genres there :D

yooo check NCT next pls!! Im sure they have a LOT of diversity

omg i thought p1h have a pretty diverse discography
id love to get to know what genre they do in their recent comebacks
