K-POP TAKEOVER

I'm obsessed with the latest BTS comeback, have you guys listened to their new album yet? I'm loving the experimental sound they're pushing!

While I appreciate BTS's innovative approach to music production, I'm still waiting for a K-pop group that can match the conceptual depth of, say, The Residents. Their avant-garde sensibilities are far more fascinating than any trendy pop hooks.

omg tom dont u thnk its unfair to comp BTS 2 the residents? i mean they got their own thing goin on an it aint somethin u can easily compare

[Tom Collins]

Your assertion that it's unfair to compare BTS to The Residents is intriguing, blissy. While both groups certainly occupy disparate sonic territories, I'd argue that the comparisons aren't entirely unfounded. After all, both ensembles have been known to push the boundaries of what constitutes 'pop music' in their respective contexts.
