2024 bsides ballot

Username: vayyiqra

ZEROBASEONE - Insomnia: 8 omg me

Yves - DIM: 9 chill lo-fi beats to relax and/or study to

Younha - Antmill: 0 Please no more K-rock I'm begging r/kpoprates I'm not mad I just want to talk

Yena - Good Girls in the Dark: 8 Am I out of my mind or is this kind of "deep cut on a mini by Chungha"-coded

xikers - Supercalifragilistic: 9 One time when my dad was a kid, he tried to jump out of his bedroom window with an umbrella and fly like Mary Poppins. It did not work out so well for him. oh yeah the song it's a banger

Xdinary Heroes - Undefined: 5 "A function may be said to be undefined, outside of its domain. As one example, f(x) = 1/x is undefined when x = 0 { x=0}. As division by zero is undefined in algebra, x = 0 is not part of the domain of f (x)" omg K-pop mentioned

Wendy - His Car Isn't Yours: 7 It's kind of not good but I'm easily baited by vibey atmosphere R&B it's a failing of mine

TXT - I'll See You There Tomorrow: 9 Need my beloved /u/miniatureaurochs (fave) to explain what kind of rare skippy 2-step garage type beat this is. plsplspls ...

tripleS - 24: 4 Rates have made me hostile to this group. I don't even hate all their music, I like the instrumental to this. But when it comes to their songs in rates, I'm convinced this band is a psyop. They're not real. The dozens of members are a front, like a Potemkin village; all of their music is generated by an AI that only knows how to make electropop with hooks that go "lalala" a lot. Make a different song already!!!

The Boyz - Bite Back: 5 Oh it's another K-pop boy group furry-adjacent song about being like a dog. Many such cases.

Taeyong - Moon Tour: 8 damn I need this ... 🌙

Taemin - Deja Vu: 8 Why do I feel like I've heard this before ... odd feeling ... can't quite place it ...

Stray Kids - I Like It: 8 me too good song boys

STAYC - 1 Thing: 9 It's no Cheeky Icy Thang but then again what is

Seventeen - Cheers to Youth: 7 Songs about how awesome it is to be young are stupid. I hated being young, it was miserable, it's way better being older. Thankfully that is not what this song is about so good !

Seola - Let's Talk (Loneliness): 10 Me at my job (I'm a counsellor)

RESCENE - Pinball: 9 good ditty

P1Harmony - Last Call: 4 *[writing lines on blackboard] I will not tank K-pop songs because they have guitar in them*

ONEWE - Shoot It Out: 8 Okay a Good Guitar Song tm

NMIXX - Run For Roses: 10 Wasn't big on the vaguely bluegrass vibe of the intro at first but still a gr8 ditty with a strong chorus

NMIXX - Boom: 11 I have my own headcanon what this song is about but I'm not sharing it anyway sick tune sick album the NMIXX redemption arc should be studied

NCT Dream - Box: 7 Posting gif of Mark Lee shrugging and turning into that yellow round emote guy

NCT 127 - Pricey: 9 slapper

Loossemble - Cotton Candy: 10 looking into this mysterious Yoo Jae Eun who writes some real slappers, who is she. wait I think this was my comment on Glitch Mode. ignore me tbh

LE SSERAFIM - 1-800-hot-n-fun: 10 🌸🔽🏨

Kiss of Life - Igloo: 9 I hate that I like this song no I don't want to talk about it.

Kep1er - Flowers, Flutter, Your heart: 6 idk I like Kep1er but mostly when they're upbeat and energetic not this "trap Laufey" kind of beat (yes I am getting shitposty in the rate ballot aa)

Jin (ft. Wendy) - Heart on the Window: 8 good 80s larp

Jaehyun - Can't Get You: 9 sick instrumental sick drums (I play drums) (jazz drums)

j-hope (ft. Huh Yunjin) - i don't know: 9 idk either no thoughts head empty

IVE - Ice Queen: 10 I kind of love IVE because they are truly the gacha of K-pop groups, it's randomized, you could get anything [1/2]

IVE - Blue Heart: 10 I kind of love IVE because they are truly the gacha of K-pop groups, it's randomized, you could get anything [1/2]

IU (ft. Hyein and Joe Wonsun) - Shh...: 6 🤫

ITZY - Mr. Vampire: 8 is this about the guy from NCT. which guy idk

ILLIT - Tick-Tack: 10 good bleep music. not as good as Kep1er - Tipi-Tap but then again what is

Hui (ft. Jinhyuk) - Cold Killer: 7 Idk if Muhammad Ali was known for his uppercuts it was more about his skill at jabs and footwork really

Fifty Fifty - Gravity: 6 Wait they're still around what. anyway alright ditty idk. weirdly 1989 (album)-coded chorus

Enhypen - Moonstruck: 9 damn songs about the moon in this rate are 2 for 2

Dreamcatcher - 2 Rings: 3 Sorry Xavi I will repent later

Doyoung - Beginning: 9 Baited by lyrics about spring and greenery and I like this guy's voice so rock on

DAY6 - Happy: 8 Oh no this one again wait right it's kind of good ok nvm I love guys expressing feelings that rocks

Cravity - C'est La Vie: 9 oh yeah I love baltimore club with garage and hip house characteristics [I'm just saying shit ignore this]

Chungha - I'm Ready: 10 It's a banger and it's kind of repetitive but whatever I'm weirdly [redacted] for Chungha's music so. Eenie Meenie better but it's a high bar

Babymonster - Like That: 9 I regret to report that I have lately become brainrotted enough to enjoy some of Babymonster's music

ATEEZ - Selfish Waltz: 10 yo this rules this is an incredibly sick tune like synthy disco funk man thats bait i love this shit

ARTMS - Butterfly Effect: 10 yea it took a while but I gave into the Loona hype and yea this album's rly good

aespa - Live My Life: 5 Look I'm not pop-rock-phobic BUT

aespa - Flowers: 10 Okay the much better aespa guitar song here [I rly like aespa a lot it pains me to soft-tank them]

&Team - Deer Hunter: 8 you ever watch The Deer Hunter it's a great movie but really sad and messed up it's about the Vietnam War and how traumatic it was for veterans. comment could not be any more unrelated to this song but yea sure its kind of a jam

(G)I-DLE - Fate: 8 *[pushes up glasses]* um theyre called i-dle now. boost bc lyrics seem to be about drinking coffee and goin thru it emotionally, which is relatable i fear

BONUS TRACKS

Xdinary Heroes - Money On My Mind: 4 korea no more rock slop i beg. theres good rock. lots of it. but this is so mid

Key - Overthink: 10 yo this beat is pumpin. this is real brass !!!!

KAVE - Umm Umm Umm: 7 good to add to my playlist of kpop songs with reduplication in the title (theyre mostly bangers)

Babymonster - Woke Up In Tokyo: 1 No. It is an abomination. I want to say it brainrotted me enough to give it an ironic 10 but it failed at that where Drip succeeded. No K-pop children's rhymes, they don't work. Did we learn nothing from Young, Dumb, Stupid !?

aespa - Spark (Winter solo): 10 all the aespa solo songs were rly good tbh this is peak ambient garage !! (i made that genre up but)
