Classic K-pop

Classic K-pop, hailing from South Korea in the 1990s and early 2000s, is a nostalgic genre that laid the foundation for modern K-pop. It is characterized by its catchy melodies, distinct fusion of Western pop sounds with Korean musical elements, and choreography that sparked new dance trends. The period was marked by the emergence of idol groups and soloists whose passionate fan bases and colorful, often themed, stage outfits became emblematic of the era. With a mix of ballads, dance tracks, and R&B influences, classic K-pop conjured an eclectic sound palette that resonated with a generation and paved the way for the global K-pop phenomenon. The genre showcases the early experimentation with genre-blending and stage performance that has become central to K-pop's identity.
