CNBLUE

Rock
Rock

CNBLUE is a Rock act. Their sound grew out of AJ, TVXQ, One Ok Rock, Metallica and Linkin Park. Those roots explain a lot about how CNBLUE arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as BTOB, Infinite, SF9, VIXX and 2PM, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into N.Flying and Whee In, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 22 connections around CNBLUE, reaching back through AJ and forward to N.Flying.
