Because I’m cool and hip, I’m down with all of the newest trends with today’s youth. And just like with anything else, trends come and go and sometimes even comes back once more. But there is one trend (kind of sick of the word now) that exceeds beyond it’s own limitations. This has gone way beyond the notion of it being a phase. It’s an epidemic and maybe even a life style.

It’s called, “Wasting your time and money”

The group is called 2 PM. I originally thought it was a group of flamboyant fashion school drop outs singing at a no-rae-bang, but turns out to be the latest craze in K-pop music.
Take a listen.

The Korean music industry and audience has proven once again that it’s about the superficial. Who cares if they can’t sing. They can dance AND and they do a lot of sit-ups.
(Disclaimer: If one of the members is not up to code, he/she makes it up by being “funny”)

I will end my entry with a rap from a popular K-pop group from the 90’s.

The song is titled, “Warrior’s Decendants”
Also known as, “Junsaeh HooYeh”.

“Here we go, here we go, it’s time to stop.
MMM the violence, hate and all the mess…
It’s about time somebody should stand for what is right.
That is right.
Bang bang bang.
What comes down beat a what comes down?
Do your body ready for the beat again?
Everybody what’s up? Are you people ready for it?
This is the message from H.O.T.!”

Fantastic. Just fantastic. =)

I just don’t get it. In a sense, I actually do. I did grow up during a time of fashion trends as well. In my day, it was all about baggy, loose fitting clothes. Take for a example this little number:

For those who don’t know, these are called, “UFO”s. You may laugh behind that screen but those were the hotness for a bit. At the same time, for those who wear tights as pants right now might laugh about it in a couple of years.

I’ve always had an opinion about wearing tights as pants but a good source has linked me to this awesome website. The people responsible for this site has put it in the best way possible.
