Let me say from the beginning that the title I wrote applies to me as well. My nephew Burak, who is interested in all types of music and listens to even the ones I don’t know about in 60s Classical Jazz, has been eyeing the K-Pop side of popular music for a long time. In fact, he does what all young people around the world do and closely follows all trends – including music – from America to Korea. While doing this, he does not act prejudiced, does not abuse, does not ignore, and has enough knowledge of the subject to understand which of them is really good.
And unfortunately, those of us outside the new generation are not very much within this broad framework. It is definitely easiest to ignore what we do not know, and it is a sad fact that we have observed that the point where this ease has reached is now reflected in not being able to find the energy to even discover the new songs of our own country.
Even though I knew that its trend in the world was growing day by day and that it had many followers in our country, especially among the new generation, and although I was a listener of all kinds of music, I continued to ignore it for years.
Maybe one day, if a producer wants to apply the K-Pop model system to our country’s music, “Idol Pop” could be the name of this adapted music. In fact, the “Hepsi” group was a tiny wink, it was very close to the music and things I mentioned, but unfortunately, the most important thing in such projects is continuity; Because they couldn’t achieve this, they became very popular, but they had to work together more to become legends. It didn’t happen…
I guess producing good music is not enough; We need to learn not to consume what is good, and a collective consciousness that will strive to grow the sector by increasing good examples.
