PumpkinCoach 05/29/18 12:36:29 AM #166:	It depends on what we mean by 'concepts', but I'd say all music acts have them, especially pop music. It's just that kpop groups change concepts often, while a rock band may stick to one. There are still aesthetic choices in the visual presentation that are working off of certain conventions, and are part of communicating what the group is about. Kpop just puts more emphasis on the visual aspect, with attention to choreography and styling, hence why the idea of concepts gets talked about a lot. There's nothing intrinsic about how those elements are combined with the music, so it's interesting to look at concepts in terms of how it all comes together. But like I said, concepts in kpop are nebulous descriptors that are not as limiting or codified as they sound, or even describing the same type of thing all the time. It's just an easy shorthand for groups introducing their song during an interview or press release in a sentence or two, possibly used alongside details about music genre or subject matter. A group saying their next song has a bright concept says it's upbeat, but doesn't determine much else about it. It's only limiting when someone is trying to dismiss everything as either cute or sexy, which is a false dichotomy both in the sense that both are still selling sex, and in the sense that there are way more than 2 concepts. That said, there are types of sexy or cute concepts that are commonly used, because companies like to run with what's worked in the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ZHXVp_wUE" data-time=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO7qQ7peKeM" data-time=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9GqA2veVH4" data-time=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF8Fst_zonU" data-time=" Though if you see a combination of elements often enough then it's more akin to a genre.

When I see them doing their performances at the Billboard awards, I can't really tell if they have a concept. I think it's just because they're not wearing matching outfits? Though the outfits are still carefully coordinated for everyone to have an individual style. --- https://imgur.com/vMmiXMu this is a world... where BKSheikah eats gurus <cite>PumpkinCoach posted [p:902159451] in kpop topic...
