For example, I first heard Suburban Legends - Polyester, so I went to check Suburban Legends and they were just a regular ska band.

What’s your “that song was great, I wish the band did more of that” song and band?

    I would get roasted for this in some places, but BTS. I love Not Today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DwzBICPhdM …but most of their songs don’t sound like that. In fact, I haven’t found any that have. Dynamite is okay, but it’s not their song. It was written for them, and it’s 100% in English. It was made for the western market. Not Today is their song (one of them, I mean) and it’s amazing. I’ve tried to listen to others, and none of them hit quite the same, that I’ve heard yet.

    That said, if you don’t like or don’t get BTS, but you liked the K-Pop in Kpop Demon Hunters, you might like Not Today… and also K/DA, the cartoon band Riot Games created for League of Legends (with songs like Pop/Stars and The Baddest) — in fact, I think K/DA might be the direct inspiration for HUNTR/X, along with TWICE (who appear on the soundtrack and are referenced in an Easter egg — the song that plays when they go up to their penthouse (“Strategy”) is the one their song Golden knocks off the top of the charts).
