Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So good playlist

Ppp0p0

any youtube music playlist

thank you yu beautiful human

Back then in South Korea 1st & 2nd gen are having fanwars before until now especially Yunho ( leader of DBSK) was critical back then & almost died.

When Kpop was more underground, it left room for more artists to flourish. But it still had toxic fandoms. I never forget the horrible fanwars because of the oversaturation of Kpop groups. It was brutal, especially because music shows had much more viewership and would decide success, and you could only choose one group to get into those free shows. Nowadays, I would say that one whole group is monopolizing the market, making it harder for there to be variety, so the toxicity is felt stronger from one side.

Yup. Back when it wasn’t collabing with McDonald’s lol

"kpop was not toxic back then" also everyone losing their shit when taeyeon and baekhyun dating rumours were confirmed

I wuld say that as an International fan it seemed better and more peaceful but when you lookt at it. This was a mess too

Bcoz the old songs are pure kpop music style…. Nowadays a lot of song got a lot of influence from western song

almost every thing the old once are much better .. K-pop .. English songs .. Arabic songs .. movies .. games .. every thing now they take the easy way and the fast way to Finnish the job for money only that's why it doesn't has the taste and the feeling it has before ( plus : the people who create those things before are wise grown men and experts .. but now .. its just a bunch of teen punks and non expert collage students )

@xgummibearx don't need to take someone else's opinion so seriously. Why so pressed? 🙄 Kpop before was much more unique sounding before. And that is a fact. Don't get me wrong, kpop groups nowadays are incredible and there is still unique music coming out. But there's nothing wrong with someone reminiscing and missing the earlier eras. Plus when kpop was less popular 10 years ago, there were much less toxic fans. Again a fact. Not an opinion. Yes there was definitely still toxicity and fan wars. But some aspects are so much worse now than ever. Cancel culture definitely has a large part to do with it

Agree

@@yusukefuuma08 i agree with ur first statement but not with the second bc I think kpop songs has always been influenced from the west since the beginning. It’s just that nowadays, I would say kpop songs focus too much on dancing that the quality of the music starts to deteriorate. There’s just too much overwhelmingly loud instrumentals and a lack of balance b/w singing and dancing

Yeah🥹 It makes me cry😩

same here!!

Same

So it's not just me

So true. Mine too.. I dont know many latest songs

same

Me too

I know it’s that I made this video 2 years ago when I was brand new to kpop so I couldn’t really differentiate who was 2nd or who was 3rd other than oh anything that was a hit between 2007-2015 ish is 2nd gen

If you genuinely think 4th gen is nothing but noisy you definitely don't listen to 4th gen

@@cheeseoh it is mostly noisy. Even groups that started with catchy pop songs are releasing noisy songs these days.

I thought i was the only one that feels 4th gen songs noisy, especially boy groups. Not all but many of the bg songs sounded like non stop chanting/ cheering you hear at sport stadium. 4th gen gg on the other hand, went heavily on edm, girl crush type of songs most of the time.

@@kayuberuti So true about boy groups. All i hear is a noisy sound and tons of rap by Male Groups. You can't even distinguish one from another. Before each group had its own sound. The moment you heard them you knew it was the x Group's song. Shinee, Beast, BigBang, SJ, DBSK, 2pm, Mblaq, Ukiss, Exo, Got7, Old BTS, Infinite and others. Each group had sth new to bring. Girl Groups are still having a bit of variety in music genres. But i wouldn't say the same about their looks and style, which is similar to one another. Some groups that are very distinct now is Twice, Gidle, BP, Aespa, RV, Dreamcatcher, Itzy mostly.

INFINITE FOR LIFE!!!

Yeah the way SS501 and GOT7 popular

SS501 were my obsession

@@eshaaiesha yesss i was expecting at least be mine

I watched till the end got a bit disappointed..😧

Me too

Same

Yes... It's my childhood memories

same

Me too

Omg, i was born in this year. Am I too young? Lmao

same. SAME. WHAT HAS HAPPENED!?!

You're not that old. If you were talking about the 1st gen, then that's old lmao

Yo nací en 2006 , tengo 16 años de edad actualmente, sin embargo crecí escuchando grupos de la segunda y primera generación por mis hermanas mayores, cuando en "canciones viejas" ponen a grupos de la tercera generación también digo "¡ESTO NO ES VIEJO 😭!" Mi primer grupo de kpop fue ss501, y wonder girls, mis canciones favoritas de toda mi infancia fueron Kara con Mr. , T-ara lovey dovey y teen top con crazy, juro que hasta la fecha son de las mejores canciones que recuerdo😂❤. Actualmente también soy fan de la tercera y cuarta generación, aún hay muy buena música 😊 Y me sorprende que con boys planet ya quieran iniciar la quinta generación!!! Ahora mismo me siento vieja y solo tengo 16 😭

​​@@nataliaelizabethsilvareyes8465same 😭💕 también soy del 2006, yo conocí el kpop en el 2008 porque me habia enfermado, estaba en cama viendo tele con mi mamá y en un canal estaban dando Boys over flowers y así conocimos a shinee y ss501✨️ Me acuerdo de haber visto a exo desde el debut 😭😭😭💕

Yep a few months ago for me ☺️ still enjoying

Me too 32 now. I miss this era!

Same. I'm 22 but these are the kpop groups and songs I grew up with

Me too 32 and love this era so much

I’m 19 years old but i enjoyed this era of kpop in such a young age and i’m very proud 🥺

And of course SS501 is my fav💜

Hot game by AJAX is still a bop till this day😚😚

You miss THE TRUE GOD KPOP IS TVXQ BROTHER SUJU N EXO

SHINee always kings are and will be.. Let's wait for Temin and they'll show us an amazing comeback.

Yess I loved VIXX and SuJu!! These new kpop fans don't know what's good kpop

Mucha nostalgia!! Jajja😅

Same.

same 😔

Yes, that's why i dont followed K-pop anymore since 2018 because it's so boring and template.. they just focus on visual and viral video.. even these days, they face look all the same, like wtf 😂😂.. agencies make them like a product, not an artist..so sad 😥

*THISSSSSSSSSS* 😩

@@mocacola22345 Yo veo que es lo mismo que ahora en cuanto a manejo de grupos y conceptualizaciones; incluso diría que eran menos exigentes en calidad tanto vocal como de baile. Y si no era tan visual es porque no se había popularizado aún las cirugías plásticas y las redes sociales con sus estereotipos imposibles. Pero que había superficialidad la había. Lo diferente es que en esa época la moda era distinta a la de ahora y la música popular también. En general se trata de eso, ¿no? De buscar captar el gusto popular... Siempre fue y ha sido así, por eso se llama k-pop. Y, siendo sincera, pocas canciones me parecen buenas. Me acuerdo que cuando empecé a escuchar kpop me parecía poco musical, me tuve que acostumbrar xD Ahora lo tratan de adaptar a algo más internacional porque el púlbico se amplió y hay que convencer a todos. Por otro lado, la mayoría de música de la old school tiene una base electro-tecno muy marcada que se repite en la mayoría; algunas incluso suenan iguales. Me atrevería a decir que hoy hay más variedad que antes de géneros, aunque ustedes crean lo contrario (evidentemente por lo mismo que dije más arriba: el público se expandió, por lo tanto hay que adaptarse a más gustos). Pero siguen siendo pocos los buenos xD Aclaro que escucho kpop desde el 2012 y en mi lista de música incluía canciones viejitas de los 2000, así que conozco bastante de la vieja escuela. Pero hay que ser sinceros... El kpop siempre fue igual, solo que cambia a la par de lo que saben que tendrá éxito en el presente. Y obviamente el público se va renovando por una cuestión generacional... Es normal que ya no les guste el kpop porque no se identifican con lo que es actualmente, y también porque se encariñaron con lo que era en su momento.

네 다음 표절 ㅋ

nowadays, popular kpop songs are basically very similar but it doesn’t mean that all kpop songs sounds the same. if you wanna listen something cute you can listen to CSR or iz*one, if you want something badass you got dreamcatcher, everglow, if you want something bubbly try Yena or rocket punch.. none of this sounds the same

Oh damn, I know, right? Now k-pop is something MASS which is listented even to boys who before named it gay-pop, and this is embarassing. Miss our small fanclub which belonged only to us.

I totally agree. 2010-2014 is my best memories of kpop. I loved every each comeback of every each group then.

I am an ARMY in my 8th year of stanning BTS, but even I BELIEVE that 2nd gen is hands down the GOLDEN AGE of Kpop!!

Same lol 😂

yesss when i saw 2014 i was like "but that was yesterday!!" lol it seems so recent to me

@@ya_zi8658i was literally 4 back then now im 14

OMG SAME 😂

@@Lktlyyyyy i was only 7 so I’m 17 now, but my early childhood (2-9) are my most memorable years thats why I keep thinking it was only yesterday😔 its very depressing to think about😂 the nostalgia hits extremely hard when u don’t realise where the time went

As a new gen, i agreee so much

Completely agree !!2nd Gen is the GoldernEra for a reason

Sim

Don't forget Super Junior and Bigbang

Hiii

SNSD too !!!

GOSH I REALLY MISS THAT MOMENT!! ACTUALLY I'M only 12y.o girl 😂✨

@@araasya Hey we're glad you're here to enjoy the music whatever your age is!

THIS!!

Yesssssssss

You are right.

Loved them alot back then! Song Jieun was my bias

Shy boy is one of my all time favorite songs from them❤️❤️❤️

I know right!!! There should be Madonna

Rose has that distinct vocal as Park Bom

@@bergerman487 You know where they got the inspiration to make her sound, cuz during pre-debut Rose's voice wasn't like that

@@bergerman487 and Jhiyo too

The one and only voice that we can find in kpop history, but for me.

Sameeeeee

Same girl 😅 I'm 28 & I started listening to K-pop when I was 14. We're getting old 😂

Same i'm 24 and i miss old kpop

Haha! In that case I'm a grandad now! Listened to Shinhwa & Boa in the early 2000s before k-pop is mainstream

Lol I was in grade 9 when I listened to kpop, 2009? I'm almost 30 now ㅠㅠ 😭

Learn how to speak English and stop being SEXIST

Goo hara

It's still bizzare how they got every fvcking thing money fame beauty friends family and still offed themselves like sis 💀

@@humaur5469 depression and bullying still exist, you know? Everyone can suffer from it, no matter how much money they have. Having a family doesn't mean that you're close with your family members. Beauty is subjective, maybe they weren't beautiful in their own eyes. And friends... We don't know if they really had them. But still, no amount of friends can save you from suffering from a mental illness.

@@humaur5469 sulli and hara didn't have loving family, idk about jonghyun

Kpop was literally made because of western pop… what are you talking about lol

@@cupidream9702 I know that, but it was much popier and more eccentric. In the mid 2000s a lot of western pop music followed the same format and similar music videos

I can cross reference each song on this list to a western song of the same era that sounds the exact same 0:43 problem Ari and Iggy 2:00 Britney if you seek amy or rihanna SOS It's not an old Kpop thing it's a 2010s thing!

16 years for me...I feel so old

You forgot Dreamcatcher and Mamamoo.

Honestly, I think one of the reasons why these older songs were so good and still are is maybe that their voices weren't so heavily modified and high pitched and autotuned, they all sound so fake and robotic now, its like you're not even listening to a human voice idk. Now they all sound the same

@@nystagmus1036 That's very true as laziness took hold and pretty much anything coming out nowadays is going to sound the same. I don't listen to much modern music myself but if anything, these songs are a testament to what was once a good thing but it's been sabotaged beyond belief now.

@@nystagmus1036 I was listening to that! People sound a lil rougher in these songs sometimes but I like it. Made their voices more unique, I legit cannot tell some of the new groups apart by voice or music style. No idea who TF is playing until I get a look at em.

Red Velvet *

2016 was a year tho

@@D04444 2015 was better to me

DUDE FR OMFG my mom introduced me to kpop as a little girl like around 2007 Ish BUT FR FR everytime I think of 2015 I think of Sistar 😭💗✋✨

한국 노래 많이 아시는 분이네 ㄷㄷ

That's true, nowadays... When i try guessing songs by who with friends, from 10 songs maybe 1 or 2 songs, my answer got wrong cause i think its 1 group who sing the songs. So much group not have uniq voice or singing style in now era... Really miss 2nd gen era...

OMG This! Thankfully I'm not the only feel like this. That is so true 😢...

Autotune makes all voices sound the same. It takes away the natural tones. Back then they still used some autotune and filters but it was balanced, today they turn on the effect to a 100%.

Totally agree with you!! I only listen to old kpop songs, they were the best and every group had their own unique style... I don't like the new kpop anymore🥺

맞아요.. 오래된 케이팝중에 듣기 좋은거 너무 좋아요 요즘 케이팝은 뉴진스밖에 안 듣는거 같네요

It doesn’t help that we grew up, and that now most new idols are like 16.

Ya songs like because of you by after school and S.E.O.U.L by SJ and GG were good but not included here

i still like kpop but am disillusioned by all the suicide from slave contracts and over-work and bullying etc, several of these bands can never exist again becasue the members killed themselves

HOLY FUCK BAP- THATS A NAME I HEAVENT HEARD IN A LONG TIME

@@UwU-lm9or right!!! I miss them 😭

Yes! Also ToppDogg, Evol, N-Sonic, Bigstar, Bigflo, Sunny Hill, Boys Republic How I miss those year's 😫

@@icefox1182 oof sunny hill i love their voice

U-kiss and SS501 also~~

Oh my god Same 😭😍

Rriiigghhttttt

same here and the fact that im Jonghyun biased🥺 i literally miss all of them esp our angel🥺

Literally same 😭😭

I'm German as well but still had to import BIGBANG and 2NE1 CD's in 2020 I'm 18 btw

Es waren zwar harte Zeiten aber im Nachhinein würde ich diese Zeit immer bevorzugen ❤... Neben CD besorgungspropleme musste man bei Shows auf die fansubs warten und dann auch noch in dieser super Qualität 😂 und Dramen mit subs gucken zu können, damn it war das hart und heute schmeißen die das auf Netflix hinterher 😂

Block B too

Yeah I was looking for Vixx and Infinite plus B.A.P

@@youneverwalkalone3584 omg BAP YES!!!! I MISS THEM SO MUCHV

CNBLUE too

Right, MBLAQ too!

I got you hahaha. That's also what put me off.. I used tp enjoy Kpop music until it become a trend that idol just focusing on dancing & using their prerecorded voice or they just simply lip syncing 😭 it just.. I prefer listen their actual singing voice even if it may be slightly unstable from dancing, than lipsync. Maybe it just me but I used to really adore idol for their ability to keep their singing voice stable while dancing the coreography.. to me it was showing more talent & showing more effort

"no bringing down others" yk blackjacks and sone's having a war back then?

Sexy concept has being going on for 10 years so it's not new.

2ne1 fandom and SNSD were toxic lmao

Yk the bullying scandal already happened to TARA in 2012.

2007-2015 was truly the golden era. 😢

I was looking back and have no clue how I managed all the fandoms I was in haha it was almost a full time job but so much fun

Yes indeed, i never liked the new bands

apink too

Haven’t watched till the end so I don’t know if Teentop and B1A4 are here or not but they definitely deserve places in this video

@@jaeheepark2604 Apink was there

No B1A4 and No Nine Muses too

I swear supa Luv and clap we're my Jam Back Then With mblaq Music too 😭

No for real, I was so obsessed 😭 No Perfume on You is forever a bop

im still obsessed over their songs...nvr gets old

Same.. I was obsessed with teen top, block b, beast and vixx..

The fact that we barely had social media back then (forums, some youtube, etc.) and that these groups went international (especially 2NE1, SNSD, BIGBANG, EXO, and countless others) was INSANE. We should be proud the views we have now, all of these old songs would have had views in the billions if they were released today.

preach!!!! 👏👏

Boa as well but there's so many iconic songs from that era ;;

I also think Infinite has this place here. I don't listen their music but it was such an important group. B.A.P miss also on this list. Their beginning was epic. It was the start of the "bad boy" concept for rookies that was taken by many groups like BTS the next year. Personally, I miss U-kiss but I don't think it was an important group. I just liked listening to their music when I was studying back in time ☺ I also like VIXX and their creative concepts.

@@valerieverdier2559 Hell yeaaah, Warrior is such an epic song.

VIXX are so underrated. They always had such trendy and catchy songs 💔💔💔

I was just about to say this!
