Concepts, which have become important in K-pop, are styles or themes that artists take on for their music projects. They might be shown through the music video, design or music genre and the whole 'package' can be used to visually appeal to an audience. Having said that, at times some concepts are overused. So when a group or artist uses that cliche without adding a distinctive spin it turns into boring. Fortunately, you may still find some fresh concepts out there, and a lot of k-pop groups who add their personal spin on a vintage concept. Below are some boy group whose principles I thought were interesting! Hip Hop culture is characterized by rhythmic music, a solid attitude, and a unique style of dress. In addition, it includes dance movements such as breaking and locking, that were popularized by dance crews. Through, "Bling Bling" and "Limitless", these boy groups took on some common elements of the tradition: hoodies & new sneakers, gold chains, effective dance moves and, needless to say, rap. Both Ikon and NCT portrayed this urban influence so well that they reminded me very much of American Hip-hop dance crews.


With this concept, Big Bang and Winner are dressed suavely in a classic style like the main individuals of a movie. They are filmed through a monochrome filter with high video camera angles for extra charm. Where may be the mystery you may ask? These music video clips are "mysterious" since there is really no plot. In "Love Tune", Big Bang walk around in the middle of nowhere with no rhyme or cause, surrounded by destroyed items. Winner has a classier take on the idea: they pose around dancers in a town square without clear cause for doing so. Whether their like makes them fly, or whether their love is flying apart, Got7 and Ikon aced the airplane concept. Needlessly to say, both music videos are collection at an airport terminal. Got7 are seen dancing in the airplane runway and (even more comically) flying off of buildings. They sing about a happy, uplifting romantic relationship which gives them the feeling of floating in the atmosphere. Through the same theme, "Airplane" by Ikon expresses the sadness of someone moving a long way away, not joy. The boys roam around the airport terminal hoping they can prevent the airplane and retain the girl that they like.


Like a great many other teenagers I acquired a bit enthusiastic about Kurt after that. I purchased all of the Nirvana albums, got myself a t-t-shirt or two plus some posters and sat easily on the Nirvana bandwagon, cursing Courtney Appreciate and becoming endlessly captivated by the guy who appeared to possess everything and threw it all away with a veins filled with heroin and a go gun. Kurt trained me that no matter how good your daily life appears, you can be depressed and suicidal. It was a horrible way to look at lifestyle through my early teenagers and I worry about the effect his suicide had on my psyche. I right now look at him in a somewhat different light. His girl is continuing to grow up fatherless and I cannot imagine what that is like. Anyway Nirvana made some great music. They're still among my all time preferred bands and in ways, I'm sure Kurt was right about it getting better to burn up than to fade away. I wonder how many even more great albums they had still left in them. Would Dave Grohl have to write even more for Nirvana? Would the Foo Fighters experienced ever existed?
