TWICE on hatius 4,746 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I listened to their album I think this album is generic. Hihi, not because they are kpop, or they can or cannot write and produce their own music. Like, I think the pink tape from f(x) is stunning album, with the fact none of the members did work on the album. That’s being said, their music is generic because sonically what they did can be found in any other western albums. For instance: saturated tropical edm (boy with luv), trap/hip-hop influenced beat (swan song - which sounds extremely lackluster to me -, on) with some well-produced pop tracks like (friends) did not impress me. I cannot speak on the lyrics since I don’t understand language, meaning I don’t understand the rythme of words flowing not just the translation. I actually expect more from Eastern artists since they can be innovative when comes to pop music. Take Utada Hikaru for a reference, who wrote and composed Ultra Blue (2006) by herself, was able take on edm and RnB flawlessly and creating them into her own sound. That Utada ultra blue can’t be recreated from any western artists is exactly what I want from a global Kpop act like bts However, I want to say my individual opinion shouldn’t matter to you or your fandom. If bts has their own audience and I respect that. Please ignore the spelling in username. I am a Beyonce stan afterall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asians make one third of whole world’s population. Selling 1 million in Asia (for asian act) is like selling 100.000 in USA. it’s not easy to crack into southeast Asia and China markets. The fact they are Asian doesn’t mean anything since the majority of us have severe conflicts with each other. Their number is still very impressive. Not to mention, they are able to get the markets that rarely buy music to buy their albums in bulk. For Korea, Hanteo rarely record any albums that sold more 1M. BTS is an exception.

They like what they like, doesnt make them weird Well you don’t like it because you assume I’m generalizing which is not the case when I specifically said people I KNOW... besides when I say they’re “a little bit weird/weirdo” I mean they are plain OBSESSED. they spend hours of their lives on twitter and ig making collages and video compilation about the dumbest things like BTS eating toast or buying toilet paper... and then they laugh about it and act like that’s the most exciting thing in the world and I’m like: you ok? It’s just so awkward to me. lol. it’s clearly not just about the music. and I’m not generalizing when I talk about their music because I did hear like 2 min of two or three songs and it’s just too overproduced and robotic to my taste. but whatever entertains you “Fantastic, chic, freak, slay.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franch Toast 27,067 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I'm not a BTS fan. I've heard very little of their music, and what I've heard doesn't really excite me. However, I'm aware that I don't know much their work and thus am not in a position to judge, and so I won't. Who knows, there might be a hidden gem that I love, as I do like some K-pop and am aware that not all K-pop is the same. Anyway, I think BTS is a fascinating cultural phenomenon, and I'm happy for them. I think it's pretty awesome that people who don't know Korean are learning Korean because of them and developing an interest in Korean culture, and I'm impressed by how fan communities come together to sub their videos. I also think it's cool how they're challenging gender norms, at least from a U.S. perspective (in East Asia, feminine men have been an ideal since premodern times). Some of the criticisms people have of them and their fans seem rooted in xenophobia, racism, and misogyny. It's one thing not to care for their music, but there's no reason to disparage the fans who do. Plus, you know, it's not like every single Gaga song has mind-blowing lyrics (cough, "Stupid Love") or is super innovative or experimental either. Yeah, I get that some of the ARMY folks may be super annoying over on Twitter, so don't follow them, don't engage with them. Lots of Gaga stans are annoying too. Stans in general are f*cking annoying. This is why I don't have Twitter and why I don't "stan" anyone, not even LG. But if people want to, that's their business. No need to belittle them. Maybe the Grammys will actually let them perform their own music next year to help them out of their ratings slump. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
