Is it the noisy edm beats that ifans enjoy & not the girl-crush concept itself?

[Kami the II.]

These days, garbage KTL rip-offs are what is hyped while many other girlcrush releases with actual musicality are ignored. This makes me think, is it the edm noise that ifans enjoy & not the girl-crush concept itself? Would Cheer Up become the next hoe anthem with a trendy EDM arrangement & black outfits?

Anyway, post a recent GC song that you think has good musicality...

 

Edit: 

I know that EDM is large genre of which, most of my favourite songs also fall under. And obviously I'm not against the whole genre, as it can produce various beats including quite chill/relaxing ones like 4Walls.  That specific noisy usage of EDM is what I'm pointing at, which is rather trendy among the so called ''girlcrush'' releases these days...

Cignature mixed girl crush and cute because they can do both~

and came out with the best song of the year so far~

I'd say it's rather teen-crush than girl-crush, a bit jpop-esque too. Reminds me of Twice's One More Time, another bop <33

Idk since I've seen ifans throwing the words "edm noise" everywhere without realizing that 99% of kpop songs nowadays fall under some category of electronic dance music. The song you posted is Moombahton for example. If you mean like hard-hitting songs, then yeah? I guess. Some groups just become more popular than others hence their songs become more hyped.

I know that most kpop songs these days fall under edm.

Differentiating them by just using “noisy” and “good” by preference is bubble talk.

 

Cos I lack the musical knowledge to use any more explanatory words. That's why I tried to give examples. Don't make Kami-chan any more embarrassed...

No but it does put me off when ppl be saying they hate edm bc  there r somuch diff genres underr that umbrella. And maybe u just don't like a subgenre. I don't think it has to do with being too noisy, but not the noise u like i guess...cuz most of the ppl who "hate edm" will love edm songs their fave releases

It always makes me laugh when I see people hate on EDM, but you see the songs they hype and you're like....but that's also EDM....

It's become a horribly misused buzz-term for "sound I don't like".

I guess you missed the point of my thread.  I never used the expression ''i hate edm'' nor i called out the whole genre saying it's noisy. But I called out the recent kpop trend of using edm beats in a way that sounds like noise. And the song I posted was there to show how EDM can be used more smoothly  with better musicality, in contrast with the songs i consider to be noisy

I don’t even know what girl crush is anymore. Almost everything not cute is called girl crush these days. I don’t remember it being that black and white when I got into kpop in 2012. 

^^

Girl-crush, to my understanding, is a girls' empowering concept which is supposed to make the female audience crush on the female singers. Not every song that isn't cute fall under gc. I see ppl calling the most simple ''oppa saranghae'' songs gc, just because the stylist went with a black wardrobe. Or the most basic ''i want oppa back'' kind of break-up songs.... Kpop is not limited to 2 concepts !!!

Oh lol, that wasn't even directed at you or this thread (I actually forgot the reason I was here after reading several replies). This is just a general thing I see all over every platform. Sorry to derail with an adjacent point to yours. ^^

That's fine, we all get confused from time to time
