Great post and playlist op !!

I love to see kpop getting into more retro sounds these last few years! Better that than some other craze *coughs*EDM,trop house*coughs*.

Might I take this opportunity to share my own korean retro playlist, which not only includes kpop but also k-indie/rnb artists, there’s 339 songs in it so I’m sure everyone will found some good stuff ! ☺️

Yes! Can’t wait :)))

And IA about preferring retro sound over tropical house. I enjoy tropical house but it’s been done to death and I wish it would go away for awhile for us to actually miss it, but Korea really likes it so I don’t see it going anywhere

EDM I have a soft spot for as I was a club girl when EDM was huge here in the US so it gives me nostalgia, but it can get stale quickly ngl. more 80s and 90s influence yes please give me more :)

ooh, some great picks here. Reboot is such a great album, I'd throw the whole thing on my retro playlist

I also recommend DIA's "Pick up the Phone." If you've never heard (or liked) a DIA song, start there. what an '80s masterpiece

Yup with Yukika and Wonder Girls I feel like the whole thing should be in the playlist (but I'm biased so...)

Ahhhh I love so many songs on here. The only one I don’t know is Yooa’s but eh I’ll be skipping that one as I’m not interested in her/omg

- Yukika is perfect 😍 I’m a broken record but I love her
- Sting is one my all time favorite kpop songs
- Love Me Right is the only reason I acknowledged EXO’s existence tbh. I didn’t have any interest In the group prior to that song (so when they made it big - I wasn’t present for any of that lol) but LMR came up and I was hooked! I’m still not all that interested in the group but I’ve found songs since then that I’ve enjoyed plenty, but LMR stays my favorite
- Lady is so good!! It was before I knew the proper term for the influence in the song, ‘city pop’

Honestly the 80s influence in many of these songs only clicked with me within the last two-three years? I remember really hating 80s influenced songs (lol the tables have turned) and when I Feel You came out, I found it rather boring and I was around 23 at the time. But after turning 25/26 something changed and now I love 80s influence in music ( ... )
