AKMU is a Folk act. Their sound grew out of miss A. Those roots explain a lot about how AKMU arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as IU, BTOB, Winner, Younha and I.O.I, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Crush, Zion.T, Sam Kim, IU and Beenzino, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 18 connections around AKMU, reaching back through miss A and forward to Crush.
