As the authors of "Electronic Music Information" said a year ago, "Korea Bounce" is not a music genre, nor a song, let alone a serious brand. "Korea Bounce" can be regarded as a kind of party game that has completely swept the Chinese and Korean wineries, and has realized the "domination", monopoly and dominance of nightclubs. It can only be regarded as a club mode at best.
In addition, as you know, the "Korea Bounce" event was played in Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea, and was used by some nightclub workers and event organizers (they think they are record factories). The brand) was moved to China and spread from the third-tier and fourth-tier cities. In the end, became the daily routine of many mainstream clubs-some places are just events, and some places flood every night.
Although this kind of party is copied and pasted from Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, the "Korea Bounce" party is the most popular and most hugged fan commented as "Upper "Music, is often from Melbourne Bounce, Minimal Bounce or other subgenres of Bounce native to Oceania.

As for why this series of Melbourne Bounce and Melbourne Bounce subtypes will be transformed into "Korea Bounce" by Chinese and Korean netizens , "Korean Bounce", "K-Bounce", "K-Pop Bounce", "Gangnam Bounce", etc. The names of Korean slogans affixed to them may be to emphasize Korean elements or to facilitate marketing in China.

In Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea in 2019 (to date), mainstream nightclubs seem to have been completely eroded by Minimal Bounce and Melbourne Bounce . Some readers who do not believe in evil personally went to several big stores in Seoul, but the feedback was almost the same as expected. I have to say, "Korea Bounce" is simply the most popular "Jiangnan nightclub style" at the moment, there is no one.

Speaking of "Jiangnan nightclub style", many friends who have had contact with EDM, K-Pop, and Pop-Rap earlier You may have heard of the hot list released in 2012, which was also popular among all nightclubs in Jiangnan and the "midfield" of Chinese nightclubs-"PSY-Gangnam Style (강남스타일)". is also "Jiangnan nightclub style", let us compare the two different stages.

"PSY-Gangnam Style (강남스타일)" is naturally not a Bounce music, strictly speaking, "PSY-Gangnam Style ( 강남스타일)”’s official positioning is Electro House, K-Pop and Hip-House. This is the favorite combination of many K-Pop entertainment companies, including but not limited to YG.
PSY not only earned nearly eight years of rice with a song "Gangnam Style (강남스타일)", but also on a global scale, When people talk about "Gangnam Style of Nightclubs", they think Is still "Gangnam Style (강남스타일)" instead of"Disco", "Show Me Your BBA SAE" or "Yeah Ah Gang".

Undoubtedly, we may have thought "Gangnam Style (강남스타일)" "Very Low" with contempt, but in a nightclub. After drinking a few "pots of wine" and the so-called "head up", danced happily with the electrical lead tone and brainwashing hook-like vocal arrangement of "Gangnam Style (강남스타일)", still the essence of true fragrance Netizens.

Actually, from 2017, PSY released the album "PSY 8th 4X2=8" by YG Entertainment, and never New music has been released. It has been more than three years now. But he is still actively performing and attracting gold.

Now, when Korean people hear "Gangnam Style (강남스타일)", their reaction is still better than the so-called "Korea Bounce" DJ Must broadcast the hot list much more excited. Anyway, "Gangnam Style" has really become a classic.

But now calm down and take a look, "Gangnam Style (강남스타일)" and PSY and YG, who signed a 360° Deal relationship with him, have never tried It has destroyed the ecological chain of the electronic dance music scene, has never affected DJs/producers and various practitioners in the industry to make money, has never promoted the EDM-based Electro House as a localized thing in South Korea...

It is undeniable that comparing two kinds of "Jiangnan nightclub style" that represent different stages is extremely cruel, but may help Some readers and capitalists who read the article and think with reference to it wake up. I'm afraid that if it weren't for the transformation of later Korean entertainment companies to do EDM Trap, the mainstream of "Gangnam Nightclub" would not be taken over by the hollow "Korea Bounce".

If I say that the great commercial nightclubs in Greater China just blindly follow the gameplay of Seoul Gangnam nightclub, including the image of DJs, The way the party starts cooperation and the list of tracks that the DJs will play, etc., then you must understand: The history is always surprisingly similar. Young people in Seoul will soon have new (other) pursuits, Chinese and Korean netizens Are you ready?
