Youth Culture

As the Korean hiphop scene has a majority of young audience demographic. There an emergence of young hiphop rap crews in different regions and provinces of Korea. This was also highlighted in High School Rapper. These crews are very active on the Internet and are very Internet and social media based, relating there tracks mostly on Soundcloud and interacting with fans through Facebook and Instagram. Often, these crews and rappers are what young Korean hiphop fans look up to, following them on social media and their gigs as well as there fashion and supporting them on their Soundcloud tracks and mixtapes.

Famous young crews include

1) Dickids Crew - They are proven to be the most famous young rap crew in Korea, and there most popular member Young B won High School Rapper 1.

2) KiffClan - seen as rivals with Dickids Crew

3) NopoCrew 

4) Jay Co Bees Crew - 

Although, my initial focus was the youth crews in Korea I found it really hard to look for the actual crews and just found the main ones that are quite well-known by the hiphop fans. Although, I think I'd also include young rappers who don't belong to crews but still are as influential and well-known as these crews.

5) Osshun Gum -

6) NO:EL -

7) H2ADIN -

I'm actually quite familiar with some of these rappers and some I had just found out through searching through Google. I know some have very different vibes with each other and that the crews would often collaborate rather than diss each other which could often happen in hiphop and I think this is quite interesting, as the young rappers in the Korean hiphop scene enjoy their friendly rivalry than diss each other.
