K-pop Recommendations: Vintage
Encompasses old-fashioned sounds, from 50’s surf rock to 70’s disco to 90’s R&B, but all that give a nostalgic feel. Think Gun by 9Muses, Mamma Mia by KARA, or 1 Of 1 by SHINee.

Description: possibly one of the most important groups in kpop history since their debut in 2007, Girls Generation have gone through many different vintage genres, from the 60’s tv show sound of Lion Heart to the 70’s disco of Genie to the 80’s pop of Oh.
Description: called “The Princes Of K-pop”, SHINee’s another institution in the industry, and mainly stick in the genres of EDM dance and complextro, in songs like Everybody, Identity, or Married To The Music.
Description: KARA are a group that have sadly been overlooked, but if you’re looking for the kind of vintage electropop that will pull you out onto the dance floor, whether you like it or not, they’re a great choice.
