Concepts I wanna see for SNSD

I've noticed that SNSD's songs tend to be more traditional pop than their fellow idols' dance track mania. SNSD's least melodic single was Oh!, whose dance track potential was firmly squashed by its bubblegum arrangement and thus also cast into the pop genre.
And this was one of my initial attractions to SM

Being that the k-pop eternal God is Seo Taiji I'm not sure a top guitar solo ranking will ever come out of the industry. Maybe the new AS member can start a trend

I've heard of Girls Aloud, because they've also released a song called Love Machine. XD Katy Perry sounds awfully like them, and except for Hot and Cold apparently she's considered pop rock?

Rainbow's A and especially Infinite's Come Back Again feature guitar riffs, but both cases are more like a dance track sampling some guitar. Nothing wrong with that(Come Back Again's funk is sweeeeet) but sometimes I do wanna hear some real moshing potential.(Yes, that's CROWD SURFING in a fucking idol concert!)

I always just react to their newest surprise
Yeah, that's the nice thing about groups whose music style is that they can change drastically every time.(For their singles, anyways. Their album tracks are still largely in that Kenzie fresh song exemplified in Baby Baby.)
This is how I enjoyed my descent into idol groups the first time. It's probably because I saw how idol groups could pull off all of the concepts listed above that I wish SNSD could follow suit.

the crayon-colored mad scientist pop groupOh, the Jpop I could pimp to you

Amazing crowd-surfing video there.. now I wish for that to become the norm at pop shows.

Girls Aloud are so much better than Katy Perry tho :E They're not really alike in general, GA as a group and as songs coming off more ramshackle-- Noisy, chaotic hangover pop. They had 20 consecutive top 10 singles in the UK, but are on a hiatus now.

This was the lead single for their fourth album and comes closer to the tuneless craziness of Yoo Young-jin's recent work than any other western pop group.

Only used one production team their entire seven year career, but are an example of how that doesn't necessarily mean a stale sound. Any genre can be applied!

Sliding slightly off-topic here, but I'm sure you can sympathize with wanting to use non-Korean pop to illustrate :p

That's so interesting, that there's an active and popular girlgroup in Europe. Would you say they're Europe's Pussycat Dolls, or are they more like Asia's girlgroups?

Sexy No No No sounds real nice and catchy. I much more prefer Europe's pop to America's R&B/Hip hop mainstream, and thus it's no wonder that I don't mind Kpop as much with how many European dance tracks they buy.

One producer DEFINITELY doesn't mean one sound. Tsunku produces almost every H!P song that gets put out. And I am forever a fan of Bounceback.

By all means, pimp more! I love learning about and hearing new music.

Being bored with SNSD, I finally popped in that concert album after all this time. XD And then inevitably some of the bubblegum reminded me of some H!P song or another and I pulled up some of my favorite H!P concert playlists.
H!P bubblegum >>>>> Kpop bubblegum

But more importantly, it reminded me of another music style that I'd really like to see Kpop tackle.

MOTHERFUCKING SKA

Awwww funk yeah. XD

And let's not forget that ska songs always meant super fun times in H!P
Koko ni Iruzee aka the jump around like a maniac song.
BE ALL RIGHT! aka the high kicks dance line song.
And the ska that kicked off my writing this addition, Enryo Wa Nashi Yo aka the ridiculous sound effects at every turn song.
I mean, it's a legitimate excuse for the girls to dork out on stage because the song calls for it, not just because they've resigned themselves to performing some bubblegum shit and milking all the fun they can out of it despite their reservations
