Abstract | Current music genre research tends to focus heavily on
classical and popular music from Western cultures. Few
studies discuss the particular challenges and issues related
to non-Western music. The objective of this study is to
improve our understanding of how genres are used and
perceived in different cultures. In particular, this study
attempts to fill gaps in our understanding by examining
K-pop music genres used in Korea and comparing them
with genres used in North America. We provide background
information on K-pop genres by analyzing 602
genre-related labels collected from eight major music distribution
websites in Korea. In addition, we report upon a
user study in which American and Korean users annotated
genre information for 1894 K-pop songs in order to
understand how their perceptions might differ or agree.
The results show higher consistency among Korean users
than American users demonstrated by the difference in
Fleiss’ Kappa values and proportion of agreed genre labels.
Asymmetric disagreements between Americans and
Koreans on specific genres reveal some interesting differences
in the perception of genres. Our findings provide
some insights into challenges developers may face in creating
global music services. |
