2010s Party Vibes Are Making a Comeback in K-Pop
K-Pop artists are bringing back the 2010s party sound—think EDM, autotune and groove-heavy beats—with recent releases from BIGBANG, BABYMONSTER, SEVENTEEN's V8, LE SSERAFIM, KiiiKiii and CORTIS tapping into millennial nostalgia.

The 2010s party aesthetic is having a moment in K-Pop right now, and millennial listeners are here for it. A wave of recent releases are leaning hard into the EDM-influenced, autotune-heavy sound that defined early-2010s club tracks—and it's working.
BIGBANG led the charge with a surprisingly laid-back comeback that still hits. The bass work under the chorus stands out in a groove that's easy to move to, backed by simple, smooth vocal lines that stick with you after one listen.
BABYMONSTER opened a new track with that classic autotune slide that instantly signals 2010s energy. The song is deceptively simple—easy to throw on and dance to anywhere—but a party remix at the end kicks things up with a bang.
SEVENTEEN's V8 subunit blended the 2010s party sound with old-school video game soundtrack vibes on "singasong," mixing a light melody with Vernon's bassy, bouncy rap. LE SSERAFIM brought their own take with "CELEBRATION," layering light vocals over heavy EDM backing to create something that's very club-coded without being overwhelming.
Newer artists are jumping in too. KiiiKiii's "Pop Off Pop Off" pairs EDM with low-key vocal lines and stylized autotune, serving throwback chic outfits alongside the track. CORTIS delivered what some are calling the peak 2010s party track on their debut with "REDRED"—an earworm backed by equally mesmerizing choreography and an autotune-heavy vocal style that feels both fresh and nostalgic.
The trend taps into real nostalgia: those who came of age in the 2010s are now old enough to find that era genuinely appealing again, while younger listeners are discovering the sound for the first time. Whether you're revisiting a beloved sound or hearing it anew, these tracks prove that the 2010s party formula still knows how to get people on the dance floor.
