2018 my favorite idol-like tracks were not K-pop but Q-pop from Kazakhstan: Ninety One "Ah!Yah!Ma!" KeshYou & Baller "Swala La La," Crystals "Неге мен?" Off-year for K-pop or just my hearing of it? /1 @MargaretMayHan

I don't know how to describe Hong Jinyoung's new song. Synthtrot? Italotrot? Fretrotstyle?

Latin hip-trot?
Trotstyle?

(Not to mention catstyle, trotcat, and synthcat.)

Meanwhile, Rocket Girls 101 "Galaxy Disco," where "Galaxy," naturally enough, means "Italo":

Sounds just like the music on Italodisco comps out of Singapore and Hong Kong that populated the three-for-a-dollar cassette bins in SF's Chinatown back in the '80s and '90s. I'd assumed then that most of the music was produced originally in Italy or Germany (with input from Miami and Toronto and Montreal: Tapps and Lime were all over those stores, Tapps with not-quite-so-cheap compilations of their own), but there'd be remixes and mashups and stuff - an impressive version of "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" that in a later day would have been screwed and chopped but this used amphetamines rather than cough syrup - and unknown vocalists, and I was guessing or hoping that some of the talent was Asian. Anyway, "Galaxy Disco" sounds so much like that stuff** that I wonder if it's actually a cover. It's so familiar. The sound is spot ( ... )
