Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Mr. Trot" in Indonesian language version.
Trot is a popular genre of Korean music characterized by its repetitive rhythms and vocal inflections. Trot originated in Korea during the Japanese colonial era and was influenced by Korean classic, Japanese, American, and even European music. Its lyrics include candid emotions about life, love, and the nation’s poverty, and has been sung and loved by older generations in Korea. Although trot music was very popular until the 1980s, it was at times mocked as “Ppongjjak”, meaning “cheap music.” Trot has given way to the rise of a new form of popular music coming in the 1990s, what we now know as K-pop. Today, Trot is considered old people’s reminiscent of their past.
