Why KPOP Music is More Cool Than You Think

KPOP Music really is a genre of music that not a lot of people may know about. Here is what my personal opinion is when it comes to Korean Pop Music.

Why KPOP Music is More Cool Than You Think
KPOP Artists

As a person, I feel like it is a fundamental right for us to discover new things each day. I feel like the more we discover, the more we learn about the world around us and who knows? Maybe when we discover something new, it could become something that we have a strong interest in that we want to share with the world.

Recently, I have discovered that I am beginning to like KPOP music and I just love listening to it and dancing to it. For those who don't know, KPOP is pretty much an acronym that stands for Korean Pop music. There are many groups out there to be discovered and it's really amazing to see what type of music people in another country tend to listen to.

Let me just say that if you think that this type of music will be weird and crazy, I think that you don't know unless you give it a listen. When I first heard KPOP, I thought that it was really catching and upbeat and it really was something that I could enjoy listening to. The music is really upbeat, even though I did not know what some of the lyrics because of course, they were in Korean.

However, despite the fact that the songs were mostly in Korean, there were a few words in the songs that were in English. With the combination of the lyrics, you can get a sense of what the groups are saying in their songs. Then again, there is the brilliant invention of having English subtitles for the videos that you are watching for the songs that you are listening to.

The dances that the artists put together for these songs are really cool as well; not just because you are watching them do the dance, but maybe you'll have an interest in learning the dances as well. I know that I have been listening to a good number of KPOP songs over the past few days and I have learned a good number of the dances that go along with some of these songs.

What's interesting to me is to see how my friends react to some of the KPOP songs that I have been listening to. The reaction that I usually get from them is either they also find the song catchy or they just give me weird looks. I just love to share what I just started having a particular interest in and if they give me weird looks, then that means that they're not really into it as much as me.

People have their particular interests that their friends may or may not find to be as interesting as the particular person finds it to be. With my new love for KPOP, I just love listening to it whenever I get the chance, finding new songs that are really cool as showing my friends the types of KPOP songs I've been listening to recently. I feel like KPOP is underestimated by those that haven't listened to it, so if you do, get the chance to listen to some KPOP music because it really is some cool music, in my opinion.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
