EXO is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Kimochi wa Tsutawaru, Teddy Riley, Bazzi, TVXQ and Kim Jong-hyun. Those roots explain a lot about how EXO arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as EXO-K, Exo-CBX, Chen, BAEKHYUN and Kai, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Teddy Riley, SuperM, Stray Kids, Nadine Lustre and NCT, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 39 connections around EXO, reaching back through Kimochi wa Tsutawaru and forward to Teddy Riley. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
