Commentary Now – 10/2021

by deforestedmusic

Welcome! This is a segment where I talk the state and being of the Korean Music Industry. I'll be posting upcoming award show insights, industry rants and critical praise if I can find any. Watch out every 30th of the month for this! Let's start!

Power Topics

I'm Tired

I am so tired of writing reviews. I am so tired of listening to music. I'm so tired of everything. K-POP has just collapsed my attention-deficit brain it seems over these past few weeks. Anything the genre has offered has just got me eye-rolling and saying bye. Seriously, it is bad. I really need to take a break and maybe just stop reviewing for a little while. I am not happy at all when I listen to music, and this really bummed me out. I went out to the doctor last Tuesday to get the vaccine and the music was just not helping me, it wasn't the same love I felt 2 years ago, hell even 4 years ago. I just need a break, and I apologize if this really affected my posting schedules.

Critical Standouts

October was aiming to be the second worst month of the year, only better than July. But fortunately, some late releases have been able to push October to the middleground. Honestly, that is some clutch from the industry.

Eligibility: Must have a TrackScore of not less than 84. Released within the month. Only Korean songs. Only title tracks.

Methodology: TrackScore (extrapolated from 100% critic scores from 11 blog review sites).
