Korean Wave

The Korean Wave (Hangul: 한류; hanja: 韓流; RR: Hallyu; MR: Hallyu)or "Hánliú" (韓流), which literally means "flow of Korea"a is a neologism referring to the increase in the popularity of South Korean culture since the late 1990s.

First driven by the spread of K-dramas televised across East, South and Southeast Asia during its initial stages, the Korean Wave evolved from a regional development into a global phenomenon due to the proliferation of Korean pop (K-pop) music videos on YouTube. Currently, the spread of the Korean Wave to other regions of the world is most visibly seen among teenagers and young adults in Commonwealth of Independent States, Latin America, Western Asia, North Africa, Southern Africa, Eastern Europe and immigrant enclaves of the Western world.

How Dirty Girls Get Clean

by: Hole

I've lost my mind yeah, I've lost control
I've the lost the feeling in my arms, I'm a lost soul
Make the most of me baby, oh don't spit me out
This is how dirty girls get clean, don't leave me now
Listen to her lust, yeah, hear her disgrace
Listen to the fragile things as they all break
Watch from the covers, the comfort of your home
Through the ice and sleet baby, oh down down we go
What angry star runs your devil heart?
What angry star runs your devil heart?
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
And I wanted you like no one before
Said you're coming back for me honey
This is how hell forms
This is how a storm begins
This is how trouble's born
Listen to sleep
Listen to her wail
You've given birth to terrible things, watch them unveil
Listen to my torment
Listen to my pain
Please come on back here baby, let me try again
What angry star runs your devil heart?
What angry star runs your devil heart?
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
And the rain it poured down
And the wind it moaned
And she wrapped her legs around him
And she's got no home
And he's looking at me, oh god he looks so dumb
What are you staring at? This is how it's done
I will define for you, the meaning of greed
While you were vanishing, this dirty girl got clean
What angry star runs your devil heart?
What angry star runs your devil heart?
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
