You'll be lucky if you find someone who can name a BTS song other than Dynamite (at most) whereas that is not the case for 1D.

I just remember smooth like butta...like criminal undercover.  

This one and that god awful dynamite one

Thankfully the only two I've ever heard. Not a fan of 1D's music (boy/girl bands in general are meh imo) but Kpop has never clicked at all for me. It sounds too...processed? If that makes sense?

I dislike that genre for the same reasons I dislike T*ylor

Some of the mainstream stuff does sound processed. I'm not a big fan either, I prefer J-pop.

I don't remember any One Direction song titles, but when I hear the songs I can sing the song word for word, bar for bar. I was a Big Time Rush liker at the time.

Heh, I know neither songs from 1D nor from BTS. You all know the songs from 1D because you were the targeted public, that doesn't show anything.

Do people who react angrily to this stuff go outside ever?

I mean Simon is kind of right tho.

[Schizophonic 7,015]

I think he only taked about bands that made him money… 

[SlowLoris 936]

Koop fans always find a way to insert themselves into everything.  Like STFU, he's obviously talking about a western context.

God, I don't know what I was expecting to see but this was not it. The comment is not tone deaf at ALL. One Direction was and still is one of the most popular boy groups of all time. Their music gets played in clubs for nostalgia and EVERYONE dances and has fun.

If they were to ever get back (highly unlikely), their reunion tour would probably sell more than any modern tour.

no, new generations dont deserve this ****, if anyhing we should move past it, i mean talk about manufactured, a grup of industry scout talents putting together random hot people to appeal the publics desire and give them generic and catchy pop songs they can bond over while thirsting and make tons of money..
