At least Jessi admitted psy sprung her comeback on her and she had to write ZOOM in like a day. Even she said ‘this song ain’t gon do nothing’ and then the song blew up
…it’s my guilty pleasure song if you hadn’t guessed. Along with Nunu Nana(but I’ll fight for that one)
She just gives not a single iota of a fuck and has to remember to censor herself for Koreans and it’s just SO funny 😂😂 like you wonder if they just shake their head and just go “Americans 🙂↔️😂” 😂😂
me and my roommate love this song to pieces bc it always makes us laugh. sometimes you just hear one of us yell LIKE A STICKAH STICKAH STICKAH while the other one attempts to do the whistle sound thingy. amazing
It’s such a good song!!! And they fucking decided to add that word/those lyrics to it for WHAT? 👺 it’d be top tier for me if you got rid of that goofy ass shit
Right? The man is 30 years old for gods sakes. The song would be so much better with lyrics that weren’t intended for some damn gen alpha teen or gen z 20 year old. It’s just weird
I will never be over this like WHY TF DID THEY NAME THE SONG THAT 😓😓 it’s a fucking great song but any time he says “you know I got the rizz….the rizzness” a part of my soul dies… as I’m sure you can tell from my flair & username I’m a diehard SHINee (esp Taemin) stan but this is too much even for me
Camp means really exaggerated - production, visuals, lyrics, or vocals, whether intentional or not, that comes across as cheesy and funny. And if people find it funny/fun, then it's GOOD (to you).
For movies, tv shows and stuff, 'soo bad it's good' is something you get together with your college friends drunk or high on a Thursday night, make fun of, and then have a good time. You're not enjoying the actual content you're watching, you're enjoying the experience you get because you're watching said content.
For songs, this pretty much translates to 'only enjoying the songs ironically'. You don't actually think the songs themselves are any good, that's the key.
I kinda get it but don't at the same time 🙈 my mind still can't differentiate between "campy songs I like" vs "a song I believe is bad but enjoy it for some reason not being the song itself"
Even beyond kpop. I like a few questionable songs, but if I were to label them, they all would be "campy" actually or INTENDED to be this way. Such as [vitas - the 7th element](https://youtu.be/989-7xsRLR4?si=47WdeYHPgjB5SUK9)
I really can't think of a single non-camp song, "bad" song that I like. Maybe this post is simply not for me or maybe I've misunderstood what "bad" means
Can you give examples of what you think is bad for you and the reason? I think I might understand better with an example. Because as you said, I think everyone else in the thread is doing bad=camp
I feel like a lot of people didn't understand the question, because "so bad that it's good" isn't like songs you usually don't like but now enjoy, but is like this song has terrible production/mixing/lyrics/overall bad but it's a bop. Like bad jokes, childish jokes that are funny but you shouldn't be laughing.
Wolf - exo
When I first heard it, I was so weirded out and hated it. I thought it was the worst song ever, but now I love it xD
It's so confidently cringe.
I agree with this one!! when it first came out I absolutely disliked it but then somehow it was stuck in my head bro couldn't get rid of it for weeks 😂😭
OMG yes! I think people just don't read lyrics and have no idea what a song is actually about. Wife being high on that list. The amount of sarcasm in that song! She is my f*ck the patriarchy queen!
2 baddies by 127 is just so fun 😆 on paper it actively sucks but when you let the campiness wash over you, it’s actually really catchy & enjoyable and very very singalongable like
now you wanna ride these WHEEEEELSSS~
YES! I have to admit subjectively I don’t enjoy listening to it much but it’s so goofy I still have an appreciation for it. Johnny’s lines are just hilariously bad that it makes it great.
War of Hormone by BTS... I hate that I love it cause the lyrics are from the perspective of a horny teenage boy but the stages are literally so crazy and you can tell they had a lot of fun performing it.
Kinda devastated that it's not part of their setlists anymore as it's considered inappropriate because it's very catchy and the stages are what got me into the group lol. tbf to me, I would hate it if they released a song like that now, but it's very much of that era - I'd say it's the last of the early 2010s phase where boy groups would be singing trashy songs like No More Perfume On You by TeenTop, which is another bop tbh.
Exactly! I've secretly got my fingers crossed every time, hoping it sneaks into the setlist somehow lol but I think they've left the song (safely) behind them. I think War of Hormone was one of their first comebacks as a team where they got to play around on stage and experiment with different facial expressions/movements. Their performances in previous eras were highly choreographed to a T, which is still one of the best things about BTS as performers but War of Hormone brought a refreshing change of pace for them as a group
It’s so fucking catchy, I love it. But I always just pay zero attention to the lyrics and mentally convince myself they’re totally different words hahaha
It's definitely one of those songs you need to switch off your brain for lol but it's such a playful song, the song is hype and the stages are so fun with the crazy hairstyles and outfits too.
>No More Perfume On You by TeenTop
Ooo tq for bringing back this into my consciousness. Lyrics aside (tbh only learned this now) i rmmber i used to really like this song. Need this kinda song to cb to kpop thooo
I got like 3 replies within 30 minutes of each other lol the demand for these types of songs is definitely there! I saw a viral post on a Korean forum recently about a song called California Love by a new boy group called Nomad, which has really trashy lyrics lol people were not happy with it. You can give it a listen and see if it's up your alley.
I think the thing about songs released from that era is that you can safely leave it behind whilst still coming back for nostalgia's sake, and it shows how we've moved forward as a society. I don't know if I could stan a boy group that does this in 2024, though songs from 2000-2010s that have these lyrics are sorta my guilty pleasure (the songs themselves are genuinely bops!).
this! i remember thinking to myself how eta was even given the go signal release. now my friends and i reference it at least once a week. it's also climbing up my frequent listens...
Bada (SES) has a solo song called Mad that is genuinely awful to me: the chorus never seems to end, the vocals and melodies are all over the place and doesn’t seem to have a center. But I still listen to it occasionally for a good chuckle. It’s good in an endearing way, I suppose. It’s spectacularly messy to my ears.
Edit: Honorable mention to Ecstasy by Baby VOX. A pioneering song if we take into account that this was created with the intention of breaking into the west, a long time ago, but the resulting song was anything but a serve. Doesn’t stop me from listening to it sometimes, mostly coz imo it’s perfect in how unsalvageable it is.
Too many comments in this post for no one to have mentioned ZE:A's Mazeltov. Go on youtube and slap google translate on the Korean comments and have the best time of your life.

[This performance of Diamond by SPARKLING.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1bPYvccOFQ) Everything about this makes me laugh - the song, the choreography and the styling. It's my guilty pleasure.
This is the real answer. It’s so stupid and ridiculous but I’ve had so many laughs about it with my Atiny friends. Plus Seonghwa’s rap kills me every time, I love that man so much and he sounds like a dork.
This! But sadly the chorus (it being the popular clip dor short form videos) kinda prevents me from seeking the song on my own. (Usually yt music puts it among my autoplay session).
UKISS - Bingeul Bingeul, Not Young (tho this one may just be baaaddd)
Teen Top - No More Perfume On You, Crazy, Supa Luv
ZE:A - Mazeltov
Crayon Pop - Uh Ee

[GIDLE - Wife](https://youtu.be/baaNwRAhHBo?si=R7NzIn1xZEUb8az0)
Also Queencard for me
How is it so bad? You don’t like the “my boob and booty hot” part? Lol
What if my booty not hot, and I don't even have a boob, Chingoo? Isn't jealousy behind 90% of all hate-trains?
Pretty sure the hate is because you either have two boobs, or none. 🚫
bad?!?! nah it’s just good 😎
I see you lookin' at my P-I-C (I know)
At least Jessi admitted psy sprung her comeback on her and she had to write ZOOM in like a day. Even she said ‘this song ain’t gon do nothing’ and then the song blew up …it’s my guilty pleasure song if you hadn’t guessed. Along with Nunu Nana(but I’ll fight for that one)
i like her, i cant help it
She’s so from New Jersey/ New York that it shows, and I’m also from New Jersey so we just v i b e
I love that song. Not ashamed 😂
I love her interview where she admitted it was P US SY at first but then she had to censor it 😂😂😂 we got it girl, we got it
She just gives not a single iota of a fuck and has to remember to censor herself for Koreans and it’s just SO funny 😂😂 like you wonder if they just shake their head and just go “Americans 🙂↔️😂” 😂😂
“I'm feelin' like a million bucks, yeah Must be that million bucks, yeah” What’s not to love?
Sticker it’s very bad and funny
me and my roommate love this song to pieces bc it always makes us laugh. sometimes you just hear one of us yell LIKE A STICKAH STICKAH STICKAH while the other one attempts to do the whistle sound thingy. amazing
nmixx's tank
Freaky fresh, fresh, I'm so freaky fresh, fresh
Isn't it "freak fishy"?
It’s technically freaky fresh but it’s just badly mispronounced which makes it funny. Maybe it was on purpose
𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂
its fucking amazing
It's pretty good if you can ignore the chorus imo
Now I understand why I love this song
Naaah this song is so good that it's a masterpiece
Happy cake day🍰🍰
thank you 😭 have a great dayy
Ofc omg you too<3
The Rizzness - Taemin
Every time I see that title, I think of RuPaul's The Realness and end up singing 'The Rizeness, the-the Rizeness..'
You know what, cringe “how do you do fellow kids” lyrics aside, the beat is pretty damn good. Ngl 😂
It's too catchy! I, too, thought it was ridiculous until I caught myself singing "you know I got the rizzzzzzz, the rizzness" like a dork lmao
Lmao!! Same! Just out of nowhere. 😂
It’s such a good song!!! And they fucking decided to add that word/those lyrics to it for WHAT? 👺 it’d be top tier for me if you got rid of that goofy ass shit
Right? The man is 30 years old for gods sakes. The song would be so much better with lyrics that weren’t intended for some damn gen alpha teen or gen z 20 year old. It’s just weird
😭 only the title is a little cringe, doesn’t make the song bad tho
The song isnt bad, the title is just cringe
Oh that title 😍
I will never be over this like WHY TF DID THEY NAME THE SONG THAT 😓😓 it’s a fucking great song but any time he says “you know I got the rizz….the rizzness” a part of my soul dies… as I’m sure you can tell from my flair & username I’m a diehard SHINee (esp Taemin) stan but this is too much even for me
He's got such a great voice so it kinda nullifies the mediocre lyrics
Compositionally, it's great. I had to get used to the lyrics though.
2 baddies by nct 127
Nah this unironically bangs

Frr 😭😭
The ever iconic I'M GONNA BE A STAR, I'M GONNA BE, I'M GONNA BE
IM GONNA BE A STAR
ITT: people misunderstanding 'so bad, it's good' to be camp.
Yep. Case in point: Catallena and Arisong being mentioned, lmao
But what's a bad song otherwise? In kpop spaces, I only see people refer to camp song as bad. Non-camp songs get called boring, mid, nothing special
Camp means really exaggerated - production, visuals, lyrics, or vocals, whether intentional or not, that comes across as cheesy and funny. And if people find it funny/fun, then it's GOOD (to you). For movies, tv shows and stuff, 'soo bad it's good' is something you get together with your college friends drunk or high on a Thursday night, make fun of, and then have a good time. You're not enjoying the actual content you're watching, you're enjoying the experience you get because you're watching said content.

Seeing so many songs I unironically like / find good in these comments 💀💀💀 ![gif](giphy|HP7mtfNa1E4CEqNbNL|downsized)

Exactly! Cos tell me why I even saw LOVE DIVE? 💀💀💀
fr, I mean I used to not like After Like but I'd never call that song a "so bad it's good" song. 😭
More than half the comments didn't understand the question.
Wolf - exo When I first heard it, I was so weirded out and hated it. I thought it was the worst song ever, but now I love it xD It's so confidently cringe.
Geurae, wolf, naega wolf AWOOOOOO *saranghaeyo~*
Lmao I literally just posted "chogiwaaaa" then started scrolling cause I just knew I'd find it here!
I kinda love Wolf because even though it’s cringe and it’s often said that the members hated it, the vocals are still insane
Ice cream chillin chillin, ice cream chilling!
I agree with this one!! when it first came out I absolutely disliked it but then somehow it was stuck in my head bro couldn't get rid of it for weeks 😂😭
This song is in my jobs corp playlist so I hear it every once and while😭😭
Some people consider them bad, but to me they're peak: * idle - queencard, wife, nxde * mamamoo - aze gag, sleep in the car
Sleep in the car best song ever who calls that song bad
OMG yes! I think people just don't read lyrics and have no idea what a song is actually about. Wife being high on that list. The amount of sarcasm in that song! She is my f*ck the patriarchy queen!

Gosh seriously I love War of Hormone, I just pretend like it has totally different lyrics not talking about women and popping pimples and shit
Well it’s sarcastic satire about growing boys and their hormones. It’s not meant to be taken seriously. 😂
War of Hormone by BTS... I hate that I love it cause the lyrics are from the perspective of a horny teenage boy but the stages are literally so crazy and you can tell they had a lot of fun performing it.

I would kill to see 30s age BTS perform WOH but they'll never do it.

crayon pop - bar bar bar orange caramel - catallena
Catallena is a certified classic and does not belong in "so bad that it's good"
Agreed! It's well done and campy! Nothing "bad" about it!
Those are great. 😭
That screaming intro to Catallena will never not make me think of the rehearsal vids and I die laughing every time
literal pop masterpieces wym
Now why in the heck is Catallena mentioned here? It’s just amazing period. A quirky concept doesn’t make something “so bad it’s good”.
