  2. I'm still thinking about why Le Sserafim --Celebration did not land with me.

    Is it because I don't like hardstyle?

    I went and listened to what are supposed to be some classics of that genre. I didn't hate it, but it's obviously music to dance to rather than sit down and listen to.

    I did, however, come across this older Kpop incorporation of hardstyle into a pop song. I think it works really well, although I'm sure serious hardstyle devotees would dismiss it as weak tea:

    A.C.E -- Cactus

    I'm sure there are thousands more examples, but I was rather taken with this.

    Anyway, I wonder if the brevity of "Celebration" leaves listeners like me feeling frustrated, as one is left with a sense of a handful of musical promises never fulfilled. My disliking the MV, the choreography*, and some of the music show styling did not help matters either.

    I'm happy to have discovered A.C.E though -- even if it's years after everybody else!

    * Perhaps I should be specify that I do not like the group's choreography. By contrast, I enjoy a lot of the back up dancers' moves.

  3. A quotation from The Bible

    I have come to my garden,
    My own, my bride;
    I have plucked my myrrh and spice,
    Eaten my honey and honeycomb,
    Drunk my wine and my milk.
    Eat, lovers, and drink:
    Drink deep of love!

    The Blackpink -- Jump MV featured lots of headbanging but not on the part (I think) of the idols themselves.

    In Le Sserafim -- Celebration, the headbanging seems to be a move that has caught the attention of fans.

    I will risk sounding like an old killjoy by expressing the hope that it does not become a Kpop craze. Quite aside from my own aesthetic distaste for the move, I worry that it poses a health risk.

    Can we not leave it in the history books as a move beloved by sweaty British rock bands of the seventies and their malodorous teenage male fans?
