Even if you don't like something, respect other people's tastes. BTS fans love them for the very SAME reasons we love Gaga - meaningful lyrics, good quality music, stage presence and a sincere love for their craft. Ok then let them go on BTSdaily. Idk why discussions like these are allowed to take place on a Gaga forum. The minute I saw this thread I knew the OP would just defend BTS at every comment. I wish there was a lock on comments on threads for people who can’t take others opinions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, i see your point, i think for the most part you just said what i said with a different perspective i'm talking about how they're seen by the GP, the western world doesn't understand their lyrics, i guess you'd have to be outside the fandom to see the equivalence. and the semantics issue is really my lack of education on the subject what boils my blood is these people that won't even @ you on the thread y'know anyways, stream woman and camo ice heard one side from above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
