  • K-pop is widely known for its exploration into other genres, some more explored than others. In this video, I'm taking you through an A-Z list of some of k-pop's most interesting, popular, and unique genres. For certain letters I had to take small liberties, but I think my research has been in depth enough that all the songs fit under or are inspired by each genre they're categorised with.

    i just wanted to point out the fact that, as far as i know, none of the songs you used for hardstyle is actually hardstyle apart from cactus (i.e side effects is trance)
    also i think the same goes for new wave, the only song i'm sure is is days gone by, the others most likely aren't

    Just saw your video... and, for the most part, found it enjoyable and informative. However, and while I admire the sincerity, love and energy that went into it, I feel compelled to note that "WALTZ" is not a genre. Waltz is a time signature: specifically 3/4 time (or 3 quarter-notes per measure). Most pop music is 4/4 time (i.e., 4 quarter-notes per measure), with the emphasis on the 2nd and 4th beats as in: one TWO three FOUR; one TWO three FOUR, etc. Waltzes tend to emphasize the first beat as in: ONE two three; ONE two three, etc.
