This year's Korean Music Festival at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles took place earlier this month. The theme this year was all about national pride, and everyone showed a lot of spirit. Throughout the concert, everyone showed enthusiasm and support for the team of South Korea, which will be representing at the famous World Cup.

This year’s two hosts were Nicole Jung from Kara, and MC HAHA, a famous South Korean entertainer.

The dominance of pop music has always been highly disputed by music critics worldwide. The flashy and sexually-energized outfits, constant use of Auto-Tune, and lack of true lyrical depth inspired the rise of indie music, a genre made of many sub-genres with one common identifying factor: clear contempt of mainstream music. Emerging into the indie music scene in 2001 with their debut album Feel Good Lost, Canada’s Broken Social Scene began as a duo recording ambient instrumentals but has expanded into a musical collective group with a varying lineup and evolved style. This becomes clear to the listener in 2010’s Forgiveness Rock Record, a seamless integration of different music elements in one enjoyable baroque-indie record.
