@icylakepaxphile yes i mean other artistss. better than or as good as jaurim. and can not help being neglected.
-
@firebreeze yes. korean music industry is very wonderful and retarded at the same time. here are really many amazing singers, bands, singer-song writers. and the broadcasting systems controlled by commercial music makers and extra-ordinarily lazy crowds from the aspect of music-neglect them.
-
@burntdream I say all of this because sadly, I feel like if Jaurim was a new band trying to make it today in Korea, even with all of their talent and charisma, they'd have a great deal of difficulty and not as much creative freedom. Being a rock icon definitely helps.
-
@burntdream Oh no no, I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was just reflecting on what you said re their popularity within Korea. It seems like they're kind of the exception that proves the rule, you know? That especially because of their cemented status in Korean rock history, they were and are able to enjoy that certain level of popularity that lets them keep making/releasing music.
-
@firebreeze I don't think there's anything I said that disagrees with your assessment, so I'm not sure why you're directing your particular comment at me; nevertheless, thanks for defending Jaurim. I, for myself, was responding to elam7batura's claim that Korean sense of musical art (sic) is retarded. But once again I don't understand how my comment is at odds with your thoughts.

@AYANGI I'm honestly a bit torn between the two versions, because this one has a biting altrock desperation which is awesome to hear, but the unplugged acoustic version is sorrowful in a subtle, folk way that I can also appreciate. I also can't get enough of that guitar solo around 3:15 in the unplugged ver.
-
@burntdream There's no denying that Jaurim still gets a good bit of attention, especially considering the idol-dominated music scene in Korea, but isn't that more a testament to their talent and influence, like the fact that they were part of the main vanguard of Korean alternative rock? I mean, when you essentially helped lead the way for other rockband groups in your country, it's very hard to deny you the props you are due.
-
So what I'm trying to say is that Koreans' sense of music isn't exactly "retarded," it's just that there's a competing, wholly different kind of genre/business that churns out the same old boy/girl groups for the money. But like I said, they burn out quickly when people get tired of them, then the new/ exactly same ones come out. I think it's more the industry that's fucked up than anything.
-
Actually I don't think you can consider them Indy/Underground anymore either. I've known of them since elementary school and I'm nearing 24 now. They've had an amazingly long/lucrative career while commercial/manufactured bands like H.O.T. or Wondergirls come and go and don't have that kind of longevity. I don't think there are many people in Korea who listen to music who wouldn't know of Jaurim. The vocalist is on popular magazines and stuff.
i like this one then the unplugged one because she puts more soul in here

Jaurim is one of the most popular indi band in Korea..
She get's plenty of attention.
if you're thinking of Boa, Girl's generation and wondergirls sort of singers, you're comparing indi with commercial singers.
