When Kpop was more underground, it left room for more artists to flourish. But it still had toxic fandoms. I never forget the horrible fanwars because of the oversaturation of Kpop groups. It was brutal, especially because music shows had much more viewership and would decide success, and you could only choose one group to get into those free shows. Nowadays, I would say that one whole group is monopolizing the market, making it harder for there to be variety, so the toxicity is felt stronger from one side.
almost every thing the old once are much better .. K-pop .. English songs .. Arabic songs .. movies .. games .. every thing now they take the easy way and the fast way to Finnish the job for money only that's why it doesn't has the taste and the feeling it has before ( plus : the people who create those things before are wise grown men and experts .. but now .. its just a bunch of teen punks and non expert collage students )
@xgummibearx don't need to take someone else's opinion so seriously. Why so pressed? 🙄 Kpop before was much more unique sounding before. And that is a fact. Don't get me wrong, kpop groups nowadays are incredible and there is still unique music coming out. But there's nothing wrong with someone reminiscing and missing the earlier eras. Plus when kpop was less popular 10 years ago, there were much less toxic fans. Again a fact. Not an opinion. Yes there was definitely still toxicity and fan wars. But some aspects are so much worse now than ever. Cancel culture definitely has a large part to do with it
@@yusukefuuma08 i agree with ur first statement but not with the second bc I think kpop songs has always been influenced from the west since the beginning. It’s just that nowadays, I would say kpop songs focus too much on dancing that the quality of the music starts to deteriorate. There’s just too much overwhelmingly loud instrumentals and a lack of balance b/w singing and dancing
Even tho I don't consider 2011-2014 old, this 2007-2014 era is probably the best era of kpop. So many hit songs, so many different concepts. We were able to enjoy every single group in the industry (at least until the 2012 debut-boom). Every song was catchy, very different than the noisy k-pop that is the 4th gen. (Btw, some of these groups are actually part of the 3rd gen, like AOA, BTS, EXO, NU'EST, BTOB. Even APINK were considered by the media, at that time, the "next generation groups")
I know it’s that I made this video 2 years ago when I was brand new to kpop so I couldn’t really differentiate who was 2nd or who was 3rd other than oh anything that was a hit between 2007-2015 ish is 2nd gen
I thought i was the only one that feels 4th gen songs noisy, especially boy groups. Not all but many of the bg songs sounded like non stop chanting/ cheering you hear at sport stadium. 4th gen gg on the other hand, went heavily on edm, girl crush type of songs most of the time.
@@kayuberuti So true about boy groups. All i hear is a noisy sound and tons of rap by Male Groups. You can't even distinguish one from another. Before each group had its own sound. The moment you heard them you knew it was the x Group's song. Shinee, Beast, BigBang, SJ, DBSK, 2pm, Mblaq, Ukiss, Exo, Got7, Old BTS, Infinite and others. Each group had sth new to bring. Girl Groups are still having a bit of variety in music genres. But i wouldn't say the same about their looks and style, which is similar to one another. Some groups that are very distinct now is Twice, Gidle, BP, Aespa, RV, Dreamcatcher, Itzy mostly.
It would be great if the list included artist like B.A.P, INFINITE, FT Island, CN Blue, Lee Hi, C-Clown, BOYFRIEND, MBLAQ, VIXX, GOT7, SS501, IU. Each of them had fantastic songs too during the Golden Era ☺
This just made me realize how fast time flies. I've been a K-pop fan since 2007, so when I see "old kpop songs" my immediate thought are early SNSD, SJ, T-ara, BigBang, WG, and 2PM songs. When I saw songs from 3rd gen groups on the list, my immediate reaction was "that's not old!" but realized a split second later those songs were released literally 9-10 years ago and are certainly old. Also a fantastic reminder that I AM OLD. lmao thanks for this nostalgic compilation.
Yo nací en 2006 , tengo 16 años de edad actualmente, sin embargo crecí escuchando grupos de la segunda y primera generación por mis hermanas mayores, cuando en "canciones viejas" ponen a grupos de la tercera generación también digo "¡ESTO NO ES VIEJO 😭!" Mi primer grupo de kpop fue ss501, y wonder girls, mis canciones favoritas de toda mi infancia fueron Kara con Mr. , T-ara lovey dovey y teen top con crazy, juro que hasta la fecha son de las mejores canciones que recuerdo😂❤. Actualmente también soy fan de la tercera y cuarta generación, aún hay muy buena música 😊 Y me sorprende que con boys planet ya quieran iniciar la quinta generación!!! Ahora mismo me siento vieja y solo tengo 16 😭

Yes, that's why i dont followed K-pop anymore since 2018 because it's so boring and template.. they just focus on visual and viral video.. even these days, they face look all the same, like wtf 😂😂.. agencies make them like a product, not an artist..so sad 😥
@@mocacola22345 Yo veo que es lo mismo que ahora en cuanto a manejo de grupos y conceptualizaciones; incluso diría que eran menos exigentes en calidad tanto vocal como de baile. Y si no era tan visual es porque no se había popularizado aún las cirugías plásticas y las redes sociales con sus estereotipos imposibles. Pero que había superficialidad la había. Lo diferente es que en esa época la moda era distinta a la de ahora y la música popular también. En general se trata de eso, ¿no? De buscar captar el gusto popular... Siempre fue y ha sido así, por eso se llama k-pop. Y, siendo sincera, pocas canciones me parecen buenas. Me acuerdo que cuando empecé a escuchar kpop me parecía poco musical, me tuve que acostumbrar xD Ahora lo tratan de adaptar a algo más internacional porque el púlbico se amplió y hay que convencer a todos. Por otro lado, la mayoría de música de la old school tiene una base electro-tecno muy marcada que se repite en la mayoría; algunas incluso suenan iguales. Me atrevería a decir que hoy hay más variedad que antes de géneros, aunque ustedes crean lo contrario (evidentemente por lo mismo que dije más arriba: el público se expandió, por lo tanto hay que adaptarse a más gustos). Pero siguen siendo pocos los buenos xD Aclaro que escucho kpop desde el 2012 y en mi lista de música incluía canciones viejitas de los 2000, así que conozco bastante de la vieja escuela. Pero hay que ser sinceros... El kpop siempre fue igual, solo que cambia a la par de lo que saben que tendrá éxito en el presente. Y obviamente el público se va renovando por una cuestión generacional... Es normal que ya no les guste el kpop porque no se identifican con lo que es actualmente, y también porque se encariñaron con lo que era en su momento.
nowadays, popular kpop songs are basically very similar but it doesn’t mean that all kpop songs sounds the same. if you wanna listen something cute you can listen to CSR or iz*one, if you want something badass you got dreamcatcher, everglow, if you want something bubbly try Yena or rocket punch.. none of this sounds the same
I still remember shinee, VIXX, n SUJU n EXO being the kings of K-pop. BTOB, BAP, AJAX, B1A4, SS501, UKISS, B2ST, ZE:A, CROSS GENE, FT ISLAND, LED APPLE, NUEST, 2PM, n more. They were the legends. Still my playlist.
Shoutout to all 2nd Gen kpop fans! I got into kpop in high school! Legends like BoA, SHINee, 2NE1, Wonder Girls, 2PM….i could go on! I miss this era so much!
As a Korean, I'm very pleased and surprised to see such a good and accurately classic list of Kpop songs. This list was very well made and really has songs which represent that great era of Kpop nicely.
2007-2014ish was my era, and 2009-2011 my most "nostalgic" years. SHINee, Super Junior, SNSD, TVXQ, 2PM, f(x), U-KISS, 2NE1, T-ARA, KARA,... these are my jams. My brain still considers anything after 2013 "new" which is crazy lol
@@Lktlyyyyy i was only 7 so I’m 17 now, but my early childhood (2-9) are my most memorable years thats why I keep thinking it was only yesterday😔 its very depressing to think about😂 the nostalgia hits extremely hard when u don’t realise where the time went
There's a reason why the first 2-3 generations of K-Pop made up the Golden Era of K-Pop. Even though the compilation is missing many other songs, even groups/soloists like 9MUSES, INFINITE, VIXX, G.NA, B.A.P, SS501, UKISS, CNBLUE, FT ISLAND, Rain, etc. it also shows the uniqueness of K-Pop right before it boomed in the West. It's ironic how people argue that the Golden Era started only recently, or with the boom of a specific group, but let's be all honest and face it, it already happened between 2010-2012/2014.
Oh damn, I know, right? Now k-pop is something MASS which is listented even to boys who before named it gay-pop, and this is embarassing. Miss our small fanclub which belonged only to us.
aahhh i'm 27 now and still love the old kpop and i've been a kpop fan since high school? around 2007. thank you for bringing this back, gonna listen to all of them. big fan of 2NE1 here!
Really miss when both the boy group and the girl group were able to interact freely and don't feel afraid of their fans attacking them. Back then we were able to ship one member of the boy group with one member from the girl group.
I feel like back then there was a bit more diversity of sound and concept. I feel like i could point out each group from the music video or their vibe. But nowadays it feels like there's a lot of trends that companies push on groups kind of blend into each other.
Jonghyun - Shinee Go Hara- KARA Sulli- f(x) They just the legend and best idol of K-pop 👑 all the time.. Nothing can be replaced the innocent of them.. Rest in peace King and Angels.. 🌹💓
@@humaur5469 depression and bullying still exist, you know? Everyone can suffer from it, no matter how much money they have. Having a family doesn't mean that you're close with your family members. Beauty is subjective, maybe they weren't beautiful in their own eyes. And friends... We don't know if they really had them. But still, no amount of friends can save you from suffering from a mental illness.
I missed the good old days when Kpop wasn't so mainstream. They also make new kpop groul debut so much younger now. Im 28 and there are kids who are debuting young as 13! 💀
2007-2015 and then i stopped following anything kpop related after 2015 but i still always go back to my old playlists.. this was such a great ride down memory lane 😭
This era had so many unique, individual bangers. Today, a lot of Kpop songs mesh together and are very formulaic. There are still bangers, of course, but the unique beats that never felt recycled are a rarity.
I miss this era :') whenever you heard a song you instinctively knew which group it was sung by or even which member is singing bc each group and member had distinctive voices/style. Nowadays, its not like that.
That's true, nowadays... When i try guessing songs by who with friends, from 10 songs maybe 1 or 2 songs, my answer got wrong cause i think its 1 group who sing the songs. So much group not have uniq voice or singing style in now era... Really miss 2nd gen era...
Autotune makes all voices sound the same. It takes away the natural tones. Back then they still used some autotune and filters but it was balanced, today they turn on the effect to a 100%.
This is era is the peak of KPOP. When a song got popular, that means that the song itself is good musically and production wise. Nowadays, song popularity is heavily based on the fandom size. And these old groups are really singing LIVE in their stages, not just focused on visuals. With current girl groups G(I)-DLE, StayC, and NMIXX are the only groups who are confident with their vocals.
Honestly, I think one of the reasons why these older songs were so good and still are is maybe that their voices weren't so heavily modified and high pitched and autotuned, they all sound so fake and robotic now, its like you're not even listening to a human voice idk. Now they all sound the same
@@nystagmus1036 That's very true as laziness took hold and pretty much anything coming out nowadays is going to sound the same. I don't listen to much modern music myself but if anything, these songs are a testament to what was once a good thing but it's been sabotaged beyond belief now.
@@nystagmus1036 I was listening to that! People sound a lil rougher in these songs sometimes but I like it. Made their voices more unique, I legit cannot tell some of the new groups apart by voice or music style. No idea who TF is playing until I get a look at em.
@@cupidream9702 I know that, but it was much popier and more eccentric. In the mid 2000s a lot of western pop music followed the same format and similar music videos
I can cross reference each song on this list to a western song of the same era that sounds the exact same 0:43 problem Ari and Iggy 2:00 Britney if you seek amy or rihanna SOS It's not an old Kpop thing it's a 2010s thing!
It makes me very nostalgic to see various groups with incredible songs and then see the faces and hear the voices of some idols who are no longer with us. What good times those were.
there is just something special bout 2007-2015 kpop like the vibes are just right everything is just perfect no one can replicate that vibe after that era passed, at most a few more songs from 2016 had that vibe but thats all i want to rewind time and live in that era of music as a teenager and just enjoy life
I miss the old K-pop songs & groups, soloists some of the ones that weren’t mentioned INFINITE, C-CLOWN, MBLAQ, UKISS,BAP,JINUSEAN,SECRET, B1A4, FATCAT, PIGGY DOLLS, C-REAL, SE7EN, DAVICHI, BLOCK B, RANIA, 9MUSES, DAL SHABET, MYNAME, TRITOPS to name a few, It’s so sad that some of them were overlooked 😩🥰
Back then even among non-idols artists would frequently drop extremely high quality hits. Lee Hi, Epik High, Mc Mong, etc.. Even the "nugu" newbies like Girl's Day, Sistar, Exid, Mblaq etc... could give the established groups run for their money with some solid hits
На днях моя подруга спросила меня "какой возраст ты любишь больше всего в своей жизни?" я ответила ей, что не знаю. Мне скоро 21. И после просмотра этого видео, я поняла, что это возраст 11-13 лет. в В 2013 году я познакомилась с K-POP. Мне было 11. И следующие как минимум пару лет очень запомнились мне, как тот самый беззаботный период в жизни. Я помню себя в то время, когда не было работы, забот, ответственности. Я жила здесь и сейчас. Узнала 90% песен. Я их тогда слушала. Спасибо вам большое, вы заставили моё сердце трепетать и вспомнить о тех временах, когда было всё просто. Даже спустя 10 лет. Будучи взрослой я вспоминаю все эти песни, подпеваю и подтанцовываю.
Ah!! The difference between Kpop then and now is that they were using disco!! That's why BIGBANG and 2NE1 sounded so different and ahead of the curve, they were using dance/electro instead of disco for a baseline. (TaeYang was pure R&B)
i don’t like kpop anymore, nothing wrong with it, it’s very different from the kpop i was raised with(2007-2017) and i respect all current kpop artists because they’re really talented. but ugh, the old kpop era just hit different. it was so energetic, less problematic, the music truly made me get up and pretend i was clubbing lol. definitely wished groups like u-kiss, secret, vixx, infinite, c-clown, girl’s day, etc were on here.
Totally agree with you!! I only listen to old kpop songs, they were the best and every group had their own unique style... I don't like the new kpop anymore🥺
i still like kpop but am disillusioned by all the suicide from slave contracts and over-work and bullying etc, several of these bands can never exist again becasue the members killed themselves
This makes me feel so damn old. I’m not too much into it anymore, but I pop in to see who’s new on occasion and to listen to the few oldies who are still around. I firmly believe 2006-2016 were the best years for kpop. All the greats were putting out music or stepping onto the scene. You could easily identify groups based on music as well as clothing style. Now almost everyone sounds the same. This weird dubstep rap trend has to end at some point.
As a 27 year old I have to say this are the best K-pop years ever. Remember back then as a german girl I had to import the CDs from Korea, because the store didn't have any of them. Hehe xd. Best years ever ❤
Es waren zwar harte Zeiten aber im Nachhinein würde ich diese Zeit immer bevorzugen ❤... Neben CD besorgungspropleme musste man bei Shows auf die fansubs warten und dann auch noch in dieser super Qualität 😂 und Dramen mit subs gucken zu können, damn it war das hart und heute schmeißen die das auf Netflix hinterher 😂
I miss when girl groups had multiple concepts instead of everyone trying to do the same thing, and I also miss when girl group members looked so mature and grow-women like (because they were and the majority was older than 20 with one maknae who was 18 at least, they had one minor at best), nowadays everyone looks like a baby (and they are, with oldest member being 18 to youngest being 14??? And most of them minors???) and even the adult idols still look childish for some reason
Shinee started me down the road of my love for kpop in 2008. This was the time of great songs, amazing groups, when each day brought a new thrill in music. I miss it very much.❤
I miss this era, back when the fandom is not toxic and actually more supportive towards each other (even if there's a battle of groups popularity example: back then Wonder Girls vs Girl's Generation vs 2ne1 but no fandom bringing down the others), kpop groups is more engaging in friendly manners, female & male idols cutesy interaction without worrying anyone shipping them, no obsessive shipping. No bullying news popping up everywhere. The song is actual song. Storyline mvs. 😭..I know that this era has passed now, I myself has grown older & don't have much time to watch kpop anymore. But I very much shocked how much kpop has changed these days, especially fandom interaction & that some kpop groups value the dance quality rather than the song quality. Also the excessively short & sexy clothes??? 🤨
I got you hahaha. That's also what put me off.. I used tp enjoy Kpop music until it become a trend that idol just focusing on dancing & using their prerecorded voice or they just simply lip syncing 😭 it just.. I prefer listen their actual singing voice even if it may be slightly unstable from dancing, than lipsync. Maybe it just me but I used to really adore idol for their ability to keep their singing voice stable while dancing the coreography.. to me it was showing more talent & showing more effort
Recuerdo año 2010 cuando estaba en el colegio y solía escuchar kpop mientras mis compañeros me mirabas raro y me criticaban por mis gustos musicales. Solo que ellos no sabían que yo estaba avanzada en géneros musicales años luz de ellos 😌✨. abrazo para todos los frikis como yo que algunas vez fuimos juzgados. ♥️
Its so crazy how every country goes through the same sounds music wise through the eras, at least through the 80s- today america and especially Korea/Japan adopted the same sounds and phases I love knowing even teens in Korea were rawr XD 😂❤
i got into kpop at around 2008 and believe me, even if I still listen to a good amount of 4th gen, nothing compares to the eras that took place before them, the current generation may have surpassed them in terms of viewership, sales, audience reach but it was because of these idols/artists, musicians back in the day who made kpop a global phenomenon that it is today.
The fact that we barely had social media back then (forums, some youtube, etc.) and that these groups went international (especially 2NE1, SNSD, BIGBANG, EXO, and countless others) was INSANE. We should be proud the views we have now, all of these old songs would have had views in the billions if they were released today.
I recognized all the songs and was there when it was released…My kpop era began with me seeing the 2NE1 poster in my sister’s room and I went search them up….. It was such a great time. I’m After School fans (despite the situation, I will always appreciate them) and Infinite is still my ult bg.
11:19 NU'EST! A group that undoubtedly gave me many moments of laughter, sad moments and a lot of support. Although now they are separated working on their solo projects, I don't lose hope of seeing them together again on stage. ¡NU'EST! Un grupo que sin duda me dió muchos momentos de risa, momentos tristes y mucho apoyo. Aunque ahora se encuentren separados trabajando con sus proyectos solistas, no pierdo la esperanza de verlos de nuevo juntos en el escenario.
I also think Infinite has this place here. I don't listen their music but it was such an important group. B.A.P miss also on this list. Their beginning was epic. It was the start of the "bad boy" concept for rookies that was taken by many groups like BTS the next year. Personally, I miss U-kiss but I don't think it was an important group. I just liked listening to their music when I was studying back in time ☺ I also like VIXX and their creative concepts.
I'm always happy when I find NU'EST in this kind of videos, 'cause it means they really made history even when their company didn't support them enough, and disband them after 10 years. They'll always be one of the greatest acts in K-pop not only for their debut, but their story through these years.
I started to listen to kpop around 2009 and back then almost nobody listened to kpop and I would enjoy the look of my peers when I introduce/have them listen to a kpop song. I'm proud of where kpop is now but I miss how kpop sounds before. Admit it or not but kpop now sounds more like western music. I love how distinctive each group and member sounds before. Once you hear the song you'll know which group and member is singing.

I miss when kpop wasn't too popular .. it was more fun and not so toxic
Back then in South Korea 1st & 2nd gen are having fanwars before until now especially Yunho ( leader of DBSK) was critical back then & almost died.
When Kpop was more underground, it left room for more artists to flourish. But it still had toxic fandoms. I never forget the horrible fanwars because of the oversaturation of Kpop groups. It was brutal, especially because music shows had much more viewership and would decide success, and you could only choose one group to get into those free shows.

Yup. Back when it wasn’t collabing with McDonald’s lol
"kpop was not toxic back then"
also everyone losing their shit when taeyeon and baekhyun dating rumours were confirmed
I wuld say that as an International fan it seemed better and more peaceful but when you lookt at it. This was a mess too
To be honest, these oldies are way catchy than the new ones.
Bcoz the old songs are pure kpop music style…. Nowadays a lot of song got a lot of influence from western song
almost every thing the old once are much better .. K-pop .. English songs .. Arabic songs .. movies .. games ..

Yes, that's why i dont followed K-pop anymore since 2018 because it's so boring and template.. they just focus on visual and viral video.. even these days, they face look all the same, like wtf 😂😂.. agencies make them like a product, not an artist..so sad 😥
*THISSSSSSSSSS* 😩
@@mocacola22345 Yo veo que es lo mismo que ahora en cuanto a manejo de grupos y conceptualizaciones; incluso diría que eran menos exigentes en calidad tanto vocal como de baile. Y si no era tan visual es porque no se había popularizado aún las cirugías plásticas y las redes sociales con sus estereotipos imposibles. Pero que había superficialidad la había.
Lo diferente es que en esa época la moda era distinta a la de ahora y la música popular también. En general se trata de eso, ¿no? De buscar captar el gusto popular... Siempre fue y ha sido así, por eso se llama k-pop. Y, siendo sincera, pocas canciones me parecen buenas. Me acuerdo que cuando empecé a escuchar kpop me parecía poco musical, me tuve que acostumbrar xD Ahora lo tratan de adaptar a algo más internacional porque el púlbico se amplió y hay que convencer a todos. Por otro lado, la mayoría de música de la old school tiene una base electro-tecno muy marcada que se repite en la mayoría; algunas incluso suenan iguales. Me atrevería a decir que hoy hay más variedad que antes de géneros, aunque ustedes crean lo contrario (evidentemente por lo mismo que dije más arriba: el público se expandió, por lo tanto hay que adaptarse a más gustos). Pero siguen siendo pocos los buenos xD
Aclaro que escucho kpop desde el 2012 y en mi lista de música incluía canciones viejitas de los 2000, así que conozco bastante de la vieja escuela. Pero hay que ser sinceros... El kpop siempre fue igual, solo que cambia a la par de lo que saben que tendrá éxito en el presente. Y obviamente el público se va renovando por una cuestión generacional... Es normal que ya no les guste el kpop porque no se identifican con lo que es actualmente, y también porque se encariñaron con lo que era en su momento.

nowadays, popular kpop songs are basically very similar but it doesn’t mean that all kpop songs sounds the same. if you wanna listen something cute you can listen to CSR or iz*one, if you want something badass you got dreamcatcher, everglow, if you want something bubbly try Yena or rocket punch.. none of this sounds the same
2ne1, bigbang, tvxq, super junior, shinee, fx my 2nd gen faveeeesssssss
2009 to 2016 is literally the golden era of kpop
I still remember shinee, VIXX, n SUJU n EXO being the kings of K-pop. BTOB, BAP, AJAX, B1A4, SS501, UKISS, B2ST, ZE:A, CROSS GENE, FT ISLAND, LED APPLE, NUEST, 2PM, n more. They were the legends. Still my playlist.
And of course SS501 is my fav💜
Hot game by AJAX is still a bop till this day😚😚
You miss THE TRUE GOD KPOP IS TVXQ BROTHER SUJU N EXO
SHINee always kings are and will be.. Let's wait for Temin and they'll show us an amazing comeback.
Yess I loved VIXX and SuJu!! These new kpop fans don't know what's good kpop
Shoutout to all 2nd Gen kpop fans! I got into kpop in high school! Legends like BoA, SHINee, 2NE1, Wonder Girls, 2PM….i could go on! I miss this era so much!
Don't forget Super Junior and Bigbang
Hiii
SNSD too !!!
GOSH I REALLY MISS THAT MOMENT!! ACTUALLY I'M only 12y.o girl 😂✨
@@araasya Hey we're glad you're here to enjoy the music whatever your age is!
As a Korean, I'm very pleased and surprised to see such a good and accurately classic list of Kpop songs. This list was very well made and really has songs which represent that great era of Kpop nicely.
2007-2014ish was my era, and 2009-2011 my most "nostalgic" years. SHINee, Super Junior, SNSD, TVXQ, 2PM, f(x), U-KISS, 2NE1, T-ARA, KARA,... these are my jams. My brain still considers anything after 2013 "new" which is crazy lol
Same lol 😂
yesss when i saw 2014 i was like "but that was yesterday!!" lol it seems so recent to me
@@ya_zi8658i was literally 4 back then now im 14
OMG SAME 😂
@@Lktlyyyyy i was only 7 so I’m 17 now, but my early childhood (2-9) are my most memorable years thats why I keep thinking it was only yesterday😔 its very depressing to think about😂 the nostalgia hits extremely hard when u don’t realise where the time went
Seeing Jonghyun, Sulli, and Hara makes me cry.
Same.
same 😔
There's a reason why the first 2-3 generations of K-Pop made up the Golden Era of K-Pop. Even though the compilation is missing many other songs, even groups/soloists like 9MUSES, INFINITE, VIXX, G.NA, B.A.P, SS501, UKISS, CNBLUE, FT ISLAND, Rain, etc. it also shows the uniqueness of K-Pop right before it boomed in the West.
It's ironic how people argue that the Golden Era started only recently, or with the boom of a specific group, but let's be all honest and face it, it already happened between 2010-2012/2014.
Oh damn, I know, right? Now k-pop is something MASS which is listented even to boys who before named it gay-pop, and this is embarassing. Miss our small fanclub which belonged only to us.
I totally agree. 2010-2014 is my best memories of kpop. I loved every each comeback of every each group then.
I am an ARMY in my 8th year of stanning BTS, but even I BELIEVE that 2nd gen is hands down the GOLDEN AGE of Kpop!!
aahhh i'm 27 now and still love the old kpop and i've been a kpop fan since high school? around 2007. thank you for bringing this back, gonna listen to all of them. big fan of 2NE1 here!
Really miss when both the boy group and the girl group were able to interact freely and don't feel afraid of their fans attacking them. Back then we were able to ship one member of the boy group with one member from the girl group.
I feel like back then there was a bit more diversity of sound and concept. I feel like i could point out each group from the music video or their vibe. But nowadays it feels like there's a lot of trends that companies push on groups kind of blend into each other.
THIS!!
It's a shame Secret wasn't included in this compilation, they were fantastic (if slightly ahead of their time).
Yesssssssss
You are right.
Loved them alot back then! Song Jieun was my bias
Shy boy is one of my all time favorite songs from them❤️❤️❤️
I know right!!! There should be Madonna
The difference in style, clothing, and music is really clear. I really like this style.
it's 2023 and I'm reliving some good old times.. Who's with me?
Mucha nostalgia!! Jajja😅
the good old days
Im 24 yrs old and i started listening to kpop when i was 12, i guess im an auntie now 😅 this is nostalgic.
Sameeeeee
Same girl 😅 I'm 28 & I started listening to K-pop when I was 14. We're getting old 😂
Same i'm 24 and i miss old kpop
Haha! In that case I'm a grandad now! Listened to Shinhwa & Boa in the early 2000s before k-pop is mainstream
Lol I was in grade 9 when I listened to kpop, 2009? I'm almost 30 now ㅠㅠ 😭
Kpop이 Kpop 다웠던 시절
Gen 2 & Gen 3 was seriously the peak of Kpop. No doubt bout it
Damn Park Bom’s vocal has always been one of a kind
Rose has that distinct vocal as Park Bom
@@bergerman487 You know where they got the inspiration to make her sound, cuz during pre-debut Rose's voice wasn't like that
@@bergerman487 and Jhiyo too
The one and only voice that we can find in kpop history, but for me.
Jonghyun - Shinee
Go Hara- KARA
Sulli- f(x)
They just the legend and best idol of K-pop 👑 all the time.. Nothing can be replaced the innocent of them.. Rest in peace King and Angels.. 🌹💓
Learn how to speak English and stop being SEXIST
Goo hara
It's still bizzare how they got every fvcking thing money fame beauty friends family and still offed themselves like sis 💀
@@humaur5469 depression and bullying still exist, you know? Everyone can suffer from it, no matter how much money they have. Having a family doesn't mean that you're close with your family members. Beauty is subjective, maybe they weren't beautiful in their own eyes. And friends... We don't know if they really had them. But still, no amount of friends can save you from suffering from a mental illness.
@@humaur5469 sulli and hara didn't have loving family, idk about jonghyun
I missed the good old days when Kpop wasn't so mainstream. They also make new kpop groul debut so much younger now. Im 28 and there are kids who are debuting young as 13! 💀
2007-2015 and then i stopped following anything kpop related after 2015 but i still always go back to my old playlists.. this was such a great ride down memory lane 😭
2007-2015 was truly the golden era. 😢
This era had so many unique, individual bangers. Today, a lot of Kpop songs mesh together and are very formulaic. There are still bangers, of course, but the unique beats that never felt recycled are a rarity.
I miss this era :') whenever you heard a song you instinctively knew which group it was sung by or even which member is singing bc each group and member had distinctive voices/style. Nowadays, its not like that.
That's true, nowadays... When i try guessing songs by who with friends, from 10 songs maybe 1 or 2 songs, my answer got wrong cause i think its 1 group who sing the songs. So much group not have uniq voice or singing style in now era... Really miss 2nd gen era...
OMG This! Thankfully I'm not the only feel like this. That is so true 😢...
Autotune makes all voices sound the same. It takes away the natural tones.
Back then they still used some autotune and filters but it was balanced, today they turn on the effect to a 100%.
old kpop was a vibe 😌 ✨️
85% is still my playlist till now and it's already 2023🥺❤❤❤
This is era is the peak of KPOP. When a song got popular, that means that the song itself is good musically and production wise. Nowadays, song popularity is heavily based on the fandom size.
And these old groups are really singing LIVE in their stages, not just focused on visuals.
With current girl groups G(I)-DLE, StayC, and NMIXX are the only groups who are confident with their vocals.
You forgot Dreamcatcher and Mamamoo.
Honestly, I think one of the reasons why these older songs were so good and still are is maybe that their voices weren't so heavily modified and high pitched and autotuned, they all sound so fake and robotic now, its like you're not even listening to a human voice idk. Now they all sound the same
@@nystagmus1036 That's very true as laziness took hold and pretty much anything coming out nowadays is going to sound the same. I don't listen to much modern music myself but if anything, these songs are a testament to what was once a good thing but it's been sabotaged beyond belief now.
@@nystagmus1036 I was listening to that! People sound a lil rougher in these songs sometimes but I like it. Made their voices more unique, I legit cannot tell some of the new groups apart by voice or music style. No idea who TF is playing until I get a look at em.
Red Velvet *
Sorry New Gens
But This’s the real Golden Era for K-Pop 🔥
Gens 2 is the Best Ever for me
Miss good old memories ❤️
As a new gen, i agreee so much
Completely agree !!2nd Gen is the GoldernEra for a reason

Where are infinite , mblaq and B.A.P 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
I miss the times when kpop was fresh and honestly different to western pop and I was actually intrigued to find new groups
Kpop was literally made because of western pop… what are you talking about lol
@@cupidream9702 I know that, but it was much popier and more eccentric. In the mid 2000s a lot of western pop music followed the same format and similar music videos
I can cross reference each song on this list to a western song of the same era that sounds the exact same
0:43 problem Ari and Iggy
2:00 Britney if you seek amy or rihanna SOS
It's not an old Kpop thing it's a 2010s thing!
2000-2015 was when kpop was really the best.
2016 was a year tho
@@D04444 2015 was better to me
DUDE FR OMFG my mom introduced me to kpop as a little girl like around 2007 Ish BUT FR FR everytime I think of 2015 I think of Sistar 😭💗✋✨
Gangnam Style was the first K-POP song that I listened to.
It makes me very nostalgic to see various groups with incredible songs and then see the faces and hear the voices of some idols who are no longer with us. What good times those were.
there is just something special bout 2007-2015 kpop
like the vibes are just right everything is just perfect
no one can replicate that vibe after that era passed, at most a few more songs from 2016 had that vibe but thats all
i want to rewind time and live in that era of music as a teenager and just enjoy life
I miss the old K-pop songs & groups, soloists some of the ones that weren’t mentioned INFINITE, C-CLOWN, MBLAQ, UKISS,BAP,JINUSEAN,SECRET, B1A4, FATCAT, PIGGY DOLLS, C-REAL, SE7EN, DAVICHI, BLOCK B, RANIA, 9MUSES, DAL SHABET, MYNAME, TRITOPS to name a few, It’s so sad that some of them were overlooked 😩🥰
HOLY FUCK BAP- THATS A NAME I HEAVENT HEARD IN A LONG TIME
@@UwU-lm9or right!!! I miss them 😭
Yes! Also ToppDogg, Evol, N-Sonic, Bigstar, Bigflo, Sunny Hill, Boys Republic
How I miss those year's 😫
@@icefox1182 oof sunny hill i love their voice
U-kiss and SS501 also~~
Back then even among non-idols artists would frequently drop extremely high quality hits. Lee Hi, Epik High, Mc Mong, etc..
Even the "nugu" newbies like Girl's Day, Sistar, Exid, Mblaq etc... could give the established groups run for their money with some solid hits
한국 노래 많이 아시는 분이네 ㄷㄷ
I’m happy I got to experience kpop when it wasn’t so popular in the west. It was just so good 😮💨😮💨
I literally teared up when shinee's replay popped up, that was the whole reason I was into kpop, I miss those good times
Oh my god Same 😭😍
Rriiigghhttttt
same here and the fact that im Jonghyun biased🥺 i literally miss all of them esp our angel🥺
Literally same 😭😭
Its the soundtrack of my life for the past 10 years :D
16 years for me...I feel so old
На днях моя подруга спросила меня "какой возраст ты любишь больше всего в своей жизни?" я ответила ей, что не знаю. Мне скоро 21. И после просмотра этого видео, я поняла, что это возраст 11-13 лет. в В 2013 году я познакомилась с K-POP. Мне было 11. И следующие как минимум пару лет очень запомнились мне, как тот самый беззаботный период в жизни. Я помню себя в то время, когда не было работы, забот, ответственности. Я жила здесь и сейчас. Узнала 90% песен. Я их тогда слушала. Спасибо вам большое, вы заставили моё сердце трепетать и вспомнить о тех временах, когда было всё просто. Даже спустя 10 лет. Будучи взрослой я вспоминаю все эти песни, подпеваю и подтанцовываю.
It feels like South Korea has had its own Eurovision for the past 15 years, which no one has been told about
Ah!! The difference between Kpop then and now is that they were using disco!! That's why BIGBANG and 2NE1 sounded so different and ahead of the curve, they were using dance/electro instead of disco for a baseline. (TaeYang was pure R&B)
When you know all the songs and at least the main points in the choreography- I almost cried at the end of this video 🤌🏻
IT WAS SUCH A FUN TIME. UGH.
Old is gold..
I miss the older videos. But your missing Ladies Code.
i don’t like kpop anymore, nothing wrong with it, it’s very different from the kpop i was raised with(2007-2017) and i respect all current kpop artists because they’re really talented. but ugh, the old kpop era just hit different. it was so energetic, less problematic, the music truly made me get up and pretend i was clubbing lol. definitely wished groups like u-kiss, secret, vixx, infinite, c-clown, girl’s day, etc were on here.
Totally agree with you!! I only listen to old kpop songs, they were the best and every group had their own unique style... I don't like the new kpop anymore🥺
맞아요.. 오래된 케이팝중에 듣기 좋은거 너무 좋아요 요즘 케이팝은 뉴진스밖에 안 듣는거 같네요
It doesn’t help that we grew up, and that now most new idols are like 16.
Ya songs like because of you by after school and S.E.O.U.L by SJ and GG were good but not included here
i still like kpop but am disillusioned by all the suicide from slave contracts and over-work and bullying etc, several of these bands can never exist again becasue the members killed themselves
This makes me feel so damn old. I’m not too much into it anymore, but I pop in to see who’s new on occasion and to listen to the few oldies who are still around. I firmly believe 2006-2016 were the best years for kpop. All the greats were putting out music or stepping onto the scene. You could easily identify groups based on music as well as clothing style. Now almost everyone sounds the same. This weird dubstep rap trend has to end at some point.
Rip to the talent that we lost due to suicide.
How is Fiction not a part of this? Regardless, a fantastic list! So many classics that are still amazing listens! Thank you, God bless! ❤️
I know why SM artists are more popular and stand out in this era from genre, vocals, music video quality, dance, concept, make up etc
That era was a hit ... every single song has its own charm and every group has a unique color
Is there a way to go back to those days 🥲
I love old kpop more ❤️😭
As a 27 year old I have to say this are the best K-pop years ever. Remember back then as a german girl I had to import the CDs from Korea, because the store didn't have any of them. Hehe xd. Best years ever ❤
I'm German as well but still had to import BIGBANG and 2NE1 CD's in 2020 I'm 18 btw
Es waren zwar harte Zeiten aber im Nachhinein würde ich diese Zeit immer bevorzugen ❤... Neben CD besorgungspropleme musste man bei Shows auf die fansubs warten und dann auch noch in dieser super Qualität 😂 und Dramen mit subs gucken zu können, damn it war das hart und heute schmeißen die das auf Netflix hinterher 😂
I miss when girl groups had multiple concepts instead of everyone trying to do the same thing, and I also miss when girl group members looked so mature and grow-women like (because they were and the majority was older than 20 with one maknae who was 18 at least, they had one minor at best), nowadays everyone looks like a baby (and they are, with oldest member being 18 to youngest being 14??? And most of them minors???) and even the adult idols still look childish for some reason
EXO, TVXQ, 2NE1 and f(x) still sounds modern to me
I was born in 2006, and I know all of this songs that came from 2007s and etc. I rly love that era
Shinee started me down the road of my love for kpop in 2008. This was the time of great songs, amazing groups, when each day brought a new thrill in music. I miss it very much.❤
Ladies and gentlemen, if you’re reading just wanted to let you know that this is when we were in multi fandoms :)…those were golden days..
I was looking back and have no clue how I managed all the fandoms I was in haha it was almost a full time job but so much fun
Knowing all of these songs makes me so proud because I enjoyed the best K-Pop era.
My all time favorites (Kpop artists) are Super Junior, TVXQ, Shinee, Big Bang & 2ne1! Listening to their songs made me realize how freaking old I am🤣
2세대 k팝이 지금 4세대보다 훨씬 좋음,,
I don't understand how you could have forget VIXX, INFINITE literally the most iconic dance group and Got7 old songs... What the hell
Block B too
Yeah I was looking for Vixx and Infinite plus B.A.P
@@youneverwalkalone3584 omg BAP YES!!!! I MISS THEM SO MUCHV
CNBLUE too
Right, MBLAQ too!
2nd gen is hands down my favorite kpop era. Maybe just because I'm nostalgic, but I also just feel like there's not a lot of variety in kpop anymore.
Jonghyun forever in our hearts 😭❤️🥺
I feel sad that all these "old kpop' songs were from when I already considered myself as a veteran kpop fan 😅
I miss this era, back when the fandom is not toxic and actually more supportive towards each other (even if there's a battle of groups popularity example: back then Wonder Girls vs Girl's Generation vs 2ne1 but no fandom bringing down the others), kpop groups is more engaging in friendly manners, female & male idols cutesy interaction without worrying anyone shipping them, no obsessive shipping. No bullying news popping up everywhere. The song is actual song. Storyline mvs. 😭..I know that this era has passed now, I myself has grown older & don't have much time to watch kpop anymore. But I very much shocked how much kpop has changed these days, especially fandom interaction & that some kpop groups value the dance quality rather than the song quality. Also the excessively short & sexy clothes??? 🤨
I got you hahaha. That's also what put me off.. I used tp enjoy Kpop music until it become a trend that idol just focusing on dancing & using their prerecorded voice or they just simply lip syncing 😭 it just.. I prefer listen their actual singing voice even if it may be slightly unstable from dancing, than lipsync. Maybe it just me but I used to really adore idol for their ability to keep their singing voice stable while dancing the coreography.. to me it was showing more talent & showing more effort
"no bringing down others" yk blackjacks and sone's having a war back then?
Sexy concept has being going on for 10 years so it's not new.
2ne1 fandom and SNSD were toxic lmao
Yk the bullying scandal already happened to TARA in 2012.
Back when every kpop groups give off different vibes and release consistent hits.
Recuerdo año 2010 cuando estaba en el colegio y solía escuchar kpop mientras mis compañeros me mirabas raro y me criticaban por mis gustos musicales. Solo que ellos no sabían que yo estaba avanzada en géneros musicales años luz de ellos 😌✨.
abrazo para todos los frikis como yo que algunas vez fuimos juzgados. ♥️
that moment when my definition of old kpop is older than this.....
Great list but I feel like there are also some groups that should be on there like Rainbow, FTISLAND, CNBLUE, Infinite, etc.
apink too
Haven’t watched till the end so I don’t know if Teentop and B1A4 are here or not but they definitely deserve places in this video
@@jaeheepark2604 Apink was there
No B1A4 and No Nine Muses too
Job interviewer: do you have any special talents?
Me: i mean not really but I can recognize every song of this 100 old kpop song list
miss these times when kpop wasn't big globally esp in america
Im not very into kpop but i know japanese and some of those kara songs were in japanese (for example mister) theyre singing in japanese
I'm crying :') The best of the best era!
Yes indeed, i never liked the new bands
My love for teen top was literally so insane back then 😭😭😭
I swear supa Luv and clap we're my Jam Back Then With mblaq Music too 😭
No for real, I was so obsessed 😭 No Perfume on You is forever a bop
im still obsessed over their songs...nvr gets old
Same.. I was obsessed with teen top, block b, beast and vixx..
Its so crazy how every country goes through the same sounds music wise through the eras, at least through the 80s- today america and especially Korea/Japan adopted the same sounds and phases I love knowing even teens in Korea were rawr XD 😂❤
Most of the current diehard kpop fans were in their diapers when these songs were released ☠️☠️
They weren't even born back then lmao
Can confirm, I was two when Haru Haru dropped 😭
i got into kpop at around 2008 and believe me, even if I still listen to a good amount of 4th gen, nothing compares to the eras that took place before them, the current generation may have surpassed them in terms of viewership, sales, audience reach but it was because of these idols/artists, musicians back in the day who made kpop a global phenomenon that it is today.
The fact that we barely had social media back then (forums, some youtube, etc.) and that these groups went international (especially 2NE1, SNSD, BIGBANG, EXO, and countless others) was INSANE. We should be proud the views we have now, all of these old songs would have had views in the billions if they were released today.
preach!!!! 👏👏
I recognized all the songs and was there when it was released…My kpop era began with me seeing the 2NE1 poster in my sister’s room and I went search them up….. It was such a great time. I’m After School fans (despite the situation, I will always appreciate them) and Infinite is still my ult bg.
11:19 NU'EST! A group that undoubtedly gave me many moments of laughter, sad moments and a lot of support. Although now they are separated working on their solo projects, I don't lose hope of seeing them together again on stage.
¡NU'EST! Un grupo que sin duda me dió muchos momentos de risa, momentos tristes y mucho apoyo. Aunque ahora se encuentren separados trabajando con sus proyectos solistas, no pierdo la esperanza de verlos de nuevo juntos en el escenario.
I miss old kpop
I loved this playlist so much TT Although VIXX and Infinite are totally missing in here~
Boa as well but there's so many iconic songs from that era ;;
I also think Infinite has this place here. I don't listen their music but it was such an important group. B.A.P miss also on this list. Their beginning was epic. It was the start of the "bad boy" concept for rookies that was taken by many groups like BTS the next year.
Personally, I miss U-kiss but I don't think it was an important group. I just liked listening to their music when I was studying back in time ☺ I also like VIXX and their creative concepts.
@@valerieverdier2559 Hell yeaaah, Warrior is such an epic song.
VIXX are so underrated. They always had such trendy and catchy songs 💔💔💔
I was just about to say this!
I'm always happy when I find NU'EST in this kind of videos, 'cause it means they really made history even when their company didn't support them enough, and disband them after 10 years.
They'll always be one of the greatest acts in K-pop not only for their debut, but their story through these years.
I started to listen to kpop around 2009 and back then almost nobody listened to kpop and I would enjoy the look of my peers when I introduce/have them listen to a kpop song. I'm proud of where kpop is now but I miss how kpop sounds before. Admit it or not but kpop now sounds more like western music. I love how distinctive each group and member sounds before. Once you hear the song you'll know which group and member is singing.
