SHINee retro songs hit different. Their voices (especially when their voices blend, it sounds so beautiful) make the retro sound sound fresh and bright.
And with that, the Retro series is over. Really loved all the Sweetune songs here. Funny enough, the moment f(x) - 4 Walls played, I immediately said that SHINee - View was next since they both were produced by LDN Noise. Another fun thing about one of these songs is that Teddy Riley, one of the main people who helped push New Jack Swing, noticed BTOB - Wow and has also produced songs for EXO, SHINee, and Girls’ Generation. As always, I love the Retro series and I can’t wait for more of your content.
It’s not completely over. I want to do a video on unique songs that pull from different world sounds. I still might come back and do more retro songs round up again later. We’ll see. Thanks for watching!
Wonder Girls, my retro queens! I really like how they really committed to each retro concept they did, especially with their entirely 80s inspired Reboot album
Earlier retro concepts are pretty hit or miss for me; I love funk but not so much for jazz/swing. But the 80's/90's concepts are my favorites. Anything with an instrumental that sound like it's from 1980's, I eat it up like it's breakfast. Add in some rock elements and I'm love.
I believe there are some songs that take retro inspiration but still belong to the "present". There are songs that genuinely take you to the retro decade in question. Then there are songs that are kinda in the middle, which I describe as "having ascended timelessness". What do you think are examples of each?
Most of currently retro inspired songs don't give me any kind of nostalgia. Idk, they sound so "try hard". Like Rock With You by Seventeen or Chimat Baram by Brave Girls. But some songs like Catallena by Orange Caramel - that give me truly ABBA Gimme!Gimme!Gimme! feels - First Love by After School or (to be less boomer) Mago by Gfriend are so nostalgic that makes me travel through time. Now, songs that I think are in the middle... maybe I Can't Stop Me by Twice or Dream of You by Chungha. They're obviously inspired by retro sounds but not emanate that nostalgic vibes.
I'll just be over here being awkwardly European. Our nineties had eurodance which is one of my favorite nostalgic genres in music and I can't think of any K-pop songs that are reminiscent.
My favorite era of retro music style is from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I feel like each decade has their own unique style that separates them from each other.
Aw man, I was hoping VERIVERY would show up when you mentioned New Jack Swing 😂 I wish they'd go back to that sound too, I love their current stuff, but debut era for them was truly something else 💜
@@DareDB I've heard their first three title tracks (Super Special, Ring Ring Ring, and From Now) being described as New Jack Swing! It was actually the first I had heard of that style 😅 And listening through your examples in the video, they definitely give off the same sound imo 💜 Thanks for looking into it if you do! And thanks for making this baller video, retro concepts are the best 🥰
HOT DAMN! I’ve never been THIS early to your upload. 😁 That said, the 80s and 90s sounds are overly addictive and just iconic. To pick a favorite track is like picking between your children. You definitely made me put more songs into my playlist. ❤️ I also would’ve added any songs by YUKIKA and Rainbow note, and La Da Di Da by EVERGLOW. That track is nothing but pure synth 80s pop!
didnt catch twice here but they've also released a few retro inspired bangers too! i cant stop me - had 70s/80s disco feels say something (eyes wide open album) - was 80s city pop perfection the feels - also had retro inspirations moonlight & f.i.l.a (formula of love) - retro disco pop !
@@DareDB you could do like a rewind of iconic songs from the past years, or what songs had the most impact in 2021 or something like that. Its like the music shows in tv that do commentaries over certain songs during new years on tv 😌
Ok I look forward to the third part of your video series on “KPop Artists that Saved Their Companies”. I don’t need to tell you what to put because I think I already did a few times.
Will defs check out the newer songs in this list i’m in need of new music! 9Muses’ Dolls is one of the most underappreciated songs ever. I can’t believe how old Figaro and Married to the Music are now
Does anyone else get the feeling that many of these genres and/or sub-genres are just marketing terms invented so that musicians and/or record labels could claim that all their music was "innovative" or "groundbreaking?"
Now i know that i don't like 80s music, the least favourite kpop retro era for sure, all while i am a sucker for a retro concept. Also it is so strange to see that 'old kpop' for me is also retro themed, sometimes i assumed that is what music was at a time xD I legit had a few minutes in life when i believed "wonder girls - nobody" was really from previous century haha
I love this series! The retro music style and concept is my favorite in Kpop! I was wondering where you think some of Verivery’s songs would be placed according to the time they were influenced? For example, the songs Ring Ring Ring, From Now, Tag Tag Tag, Super Special, and Beautiful-X seem influenced by something older/retro but i dont know what. Maybe New Jack Swing?

Yes, there’s so many to discuss and include for this one especially. I knew I couldn’t feature them all, but I can always discuss this later. 😉
When you hear 4 Walls and you know View will immediately follow 😹

Lol half of the 80s are Infinite, as expected. Sweetune x Infinite is really a match made in 80s heaven
The best really. I miss those times.
Shinee my retro kings. Even if they do a retro concept their sound is still fresh. Key proofed it with his latest single Bad Love once again.
I looooove SHINee's 1 of 1, such an iconic era for them
SHINee my retro kings and Sunmi my retro queen ♥️
Ok someone quickly compile a playlist of every song featured because they're all fire.
Infinite Man In Love to this day makes me hype.
@@breakforthechorus6230 sameeee
I totally love Retro Love from BOYHOOD, Platonic Love from SNUPER and many more you showed in the video. I love this series
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
SHINEe es icono en la industria del K-POP. Fantastico todos sus performer. ❤️💎❤️👏

Yeah, I’m definitely for the 80’s sounds. It’s why Sweetune is my K-Pop favorite producer.
i know this may be too much work, but a new years special thats like 30-40 mins long would be so iconic. i love your editing style, its so MTV🥰
Oh, interesting. Over what topic though?
yes spotify wrapped for example and in between some commenting~ or songs you want to promote

Shinee and Wonder Girls really have these styles dominated
I feel you wonder girls man in love infinite
*Sobs in UK Garage not getting the mention for 4Walls and View*
I'll just be over here being awkwardly European. Our nineties had eurodance which is one of my favorite nostalgic genres in music and I can't think of any K-pop songs that are reminiscent.
Ahhh! You mentioned SNUPER! Ma BOYS! Seriously that song is one of my all-time favorites of theirs.
Songs produced by Sweetune always had this retro sound.
Half of these songs are Sweettunes’ and I’m not going to complain
Sweetune really is superior
My favorite era of retro music style is from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I feel like each decade has their own unique style that separates them from each other.
Aw man, I was hoping VERIVERY would show up when you mentioned New Jack Swing 😂 I wish they'd go back to that sound too, I love their current stuff, but debut era for them was truly something else 💜
Oh, I didn’t think of that one as being New Jack Swing. I’d have to listen to that again. I even have that downloaded too lol.

This series makes me so happy
Yay! Thank you!
ok but thanks for including snuper we miss them 😭😭
didnt catch twice here but they've also released a few retro inspired bangers too!
i cant stop me - had 70s/80s disco feels
say something (eyes wide open album) - was 80s city pop perfection
the feels - also had retro inspirations
moonlight & f.i.l.a (formula of love) - retro disco pop !
All three favorite songs are in this video thank you
Thanks for compiling the song list in the description. I'm so gonna make a playlist out of it.
Im sucker for retro kpop😍
Love your videos so much! Have you thought about doing like a 1-hour new years special? you‘re so enjoyable!!
A 1-hour special of what exactly though? Lol. I don’t think people would want the sound of my voice for that long haha.
@@DareDB you could do like a rewind of iconic songs from the past years, or what songs had the most impact in 2021 or something like that. Its like the music shows in tv that do commentaries over certain songs during new years on tv 😌
im so glad lady was here literally my fav
😊 You know so much about music in general
Retro in kpop is definitely one of my favorites if not my favorite genre
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this series of yours. Thank you
Honestly, iconic
Thank you for putting Top Dogg Annie on something! One of my faves! ❤️
Wonder Girls’ side track Rewind always gives me retro vibes
That entire album, Reboot, is like an 80s concept album
@@maliser8 Yep
And this is why I struggle so much to describe what the Kpop genre is like, since it is a melting pot of so many different music styles!
I was expecting to see (G)I-DLE's "Uh Oh" mentioned in this video.
Yesss my favorite
I really enjoyed this series, thanks for making it!
Ok I look forward to the third part of your video series on “KPop Artists that Saved Their Companies”. I don’t need to tell you what to put because I think I already did a few times.
Will defs check out the newer songs in this list i’m in need of new music! 9Muses’ Dolls is one of the most underappreciated songs ever. I can’t believe how old Figaro and Married to the Music are now
So happy that Tasty was included. A group that needed more recognition
i love 9muses send comment
Shit, I like them all, you've just led me to this nostalgia loophole again))
Golden Child Ddara is 90s Music (New Jack Swing)
WONDER GIRLS THE BLUEPRINT FOR RETRO CONCEPTS
Any Yukika song?
Teen Top's Ah-Ah!!! 💖💖💖 Natural Born is such a good album
Retro Music Sound Good
Chewing Gum by NCT Dream is quintessential New Jack City
You can stay from the start that key's bad love is retro.. because the intro is already retro.
DAL SHABETTTTT
Wow has always a great video
Thank you!
All Night by SNSD?
Its just weird to think that it went from synth pop to new jack swing only in a decade
Yes 9 muses
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Does anyone else get the feeling that many of these genres and/or sub-genres are just marketing terms invented so that musicians and/or record labels could claim that all their music was "innovative" or "groundbreaking?"
Where was g-ides’ “Uh Oh” 😭😭
If someone asks me what my favourite kpop songs are I will just show them this video haha
Yay!

What bout Take Me Home by Ateez :(
I focused on title tracks and songs with MVs here.
@@DareDB oh, okay :)
