If you were the seventh of the world's population who watched Psy's Gangnam Style MV from last year, then you have experienced what is now known as K-Pop. BUT...BUT...Gangnam Style ISN'T THE ONLY K-Pop out there! K-Pop songs often range from decent, addictive, rather sad, embarrassing, and you just have to dance to. Personally, I turned to K-Pop since most English songs nowadays are overly full of swear words and perverted themes (e.g. Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj…cough cough). What do you think of this music? Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on "Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned"? Get an original essay Another reason I like K-Pop is that artists can sing for real or simply without extremely obvious auto-tuning and inorganic noises. They can even dance to their own original choreography AND sing at the same time! It is useful to practice along with these music videos to improve the dance unit in PE. The only downside is that pretty much all Korean artists wear large amounts of makeup, but otherwise the songs are great. Occasionally, Korean bands team up with American artists more often than you think for singing talent! You may have heard many people, at school or in public, talking about Exo-K or Exo-M, some kind of Wolf or suddenly screaming and chatting frantically about their favorite bands. Well, what they're talking about will most likely be K-Pop. Exo is a boy band born in 2011, made up of 12 members and who have significantly climbed the music charts. They have 6 members who act like their Chinese counterparts and sing the same songs. Girls go crazy for them if you even mention them. Exo's most recent comeback was "Wolf" and "Growl" and their Wolf hoodie, mainly sold in Korea, is popular among their fans around the world. K-Pop songs are a great way to learn simple Korean phrases, and you can always ask your friends who know the language well what a certain phrase means. The nice thing about this genre is that you can simply address a person below under the assumption that they like K-pop and that they most likely know who you are talking about. BAM! Instant connection and new best friend. For English songs, most people just say, "Who's that?", "I don't know/like them," or "I like Dubstep"; making the conversation socially awkward in a way.

So my friends and I were pretty excited when we found out we could attend. Huge crows arrive from nearby cities like Seattle and Calgary. Be sure to go if another one pops up!
