Today's #PpopWednesday#OPMwednesday is 「Shout For Joy」 by Gary Valenciano. A fitting song after Passover, Resurrection Day, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
It's Feb 28th, and if you're suspecting they no longer love you, maybe this #OPMwednesday recommendation will help: “If the Feeling Is Gone” by #EllaMaySaison
Our #PpopWednesday#OPMwednesday today is a lively song, 「Atin Ang Mundo」 (The World is Ours) from the Filipino boy band #TheJuans, that will surely make you dance.
「Christmas In Our Hearts」 was released on 1990-11-17 as the titular song of Jose Mari Chan's 7th studio album. Through this album, Jose Mari Chan was nicknamed “The Father of Philippine Christmas Music” and Filipinos start to play the songs from this album a week before September (“-ber months”) begins, the traditional start of #Christmas in the Philippines.
If you want to listen to the entire album, here are the links:
For more than ten years now, the label P-pop has become a terminology used to refer to a new genre of music. Often than not, it is used to mean the rising Philippine idol groups and also compared to OPM or Original Pilipino Music.
But what is it exactly? Is not P-pop Pilipino popular music by definition?
An Internet search for P-pop will give different definitions of it, what it covers, and what it represents. There are those who use it to mean the idol groups. There are articles written wherein it was used interchangeably with OPM. While there are also those who use it as an umbrella terminology for everything Filipino made. It can not all be correct, right?
Simple answer?
P-pop, or Pinoy Popular music, is all music composed or performed by a Filipino.
OPM, or Original Pilipino Music, is every original music composed by a Filipino.
The #fandoms on #Twitter are definitely having a very hard time. I think this is a very good opportunity for #Tumblr to launch their #ActivityPub integration and open their platform to the #fediverse.
Fandoms, especially Asian ones, are familiar with Tumblr already. Tumblr can position themselves as the new place for fandom content.
For the folks not aware of #SB19, they're the Philippines' biggest boy band. I'd say they have a level of versatility that's close to BTS since they have a great rap line AND great vocals. Their live vocal performances on the Wish Bus are insanely good.
They started the #ppop movement, which is Filipino pop that is partly informed by #kpop with the emphasis on high budget M/Vs, choreography, photocards, etc.
“Sandara Park shares why she chooses to remain single”
Dara: “I want to stay single. There are too many people around me who have experienced failed marriages.”
Dara: “After I debuted, all these male celebrities hit on me. Yang Hyun Suk (now former head of YG) eventually heard the rumors and confiscated all four of our cellphones because of me.”
I used to work for #L2SEA as a content officer, which included #webdevelopment and community forums administration (backend, frontend, managed the community team) Oh, that included the #GuildWars (#GW) 1 Philippine community forums and website.
It was a blast working with the company, with #NCsoft Korea our partner and game developer, my managers and my team, and all the players I've met both online and offline events.
funny to think that just two years ago i was truly getting acquainted with manila sound for the first time, and now i don't hardly listen to anything but disco and opm!
I originally planned to have a #YouTube#Music version, but I rarely use it so I haven't gotten into doing it.
I did not separate Philippine idol music and OPM since both sub-categories have a lot of overlaps anyway. I just call them all as P-pop, the umbrella “catchy” label for Pinoy music.
@youronlyone@ppop this is beyond useful! my spotify playlist is not as well-organized as yours are, i'll definitely be cross-referencing them to round out my collection ^_^
very disorderly but lots of #OPM / #Ppop mixed with some music from the diaspora and a few random additions - Pilipino, English, Binisaya.
haven't quite started on separating them into playlists based around certain moods and vibes yet, although i should probably do that soon instead of constantly skipping songs 😅
