Do I need to find new friends who will support my interests?

I think well have noticed how annoying it is to go check H2H comments and see a bunch of people who claims to be fans saying one of this things: "Wheres Carmen/We want to see Carmen😰😭" Or "H2H disband when 🤭😍" . Like? Just why? Can you stop? This girls debuted in way less than a years, can we just support them? And if you don't like their sound....well...idk....SCROLL and go check yor favs? . Imagine checking your comments, as a very very Rookie Idol, and seeing 90% of people discrediting your hard work and dedication! Or, if I was Carmen, I would Feel so guilty to see this so called ""fans"" only want to see me and hate my group mates! . Can we please just support this 8 Young girls who just achieved their dreams and recently bad a comeback?! Jeez.... submitted by /u/Yuna_buns [link] [comments]

It's rare to like absolutely EVERYTHING your ult group releases, so I wanted to see how true that is. To me, it has to be Golden Hour: Part 2 because I'm not a big fan of these overly "tough"(?) concepts and the music wasn't really up my alley either. The styling was also too basic for me. I'd love to see everyone's thoughts! submitted by /u/ts88kd [link] [comments]

Do people not hear how whiny they sound complaining that a song they don't like is doing well, and all of a sudden, it's 'Oh My Gosh, Koreans lack taste', or 'Who even listens to this in the first place'. You don't see how that sounds? So people are expected to bend over their backs for you because you don't like a song or group? Not likung a group/song is totally fine, What's not fine is being shocked and appalled that people enjoy the music they want to enjoy. It's like people forget about Music is subjective when groups/songs they don't like do well, and they produce all form of excuses for why it's doing well. But if reverse was the case and their beloved group or song was doing well, they would be jumping and posting charts in every sub, and claiming the song is a banger so obviously the general public would like it. It would have been so much better if people complained about their favourite group or song not charting despite all the hardwork and the music being good, but that would make them feel like a whiny chart obsessed fan, and the response would largely be 'Charts are nlt all that matter', so they take the other route. So in summary; 1. You don't get to look down on an entire demographic because they enjoy a song you don't like. Charts have always about what people enjoy, and does not necessarily depict quality, if you thought otherwise that's on you. Being openly bitter because a group you don't like is doing well is an all new low for redditors. The creative minds behind each comeback and the idols themselves have worked hard on their output, and I'm glad it's being rewarded. While this behaviour on reddit is slightly shocking, I get it's reserved for a choice number of groups cough cough, I'm sure you know them. submitted by /u/somi154 [link] [comments]

I've always been curious.I am a moderate listener to Hybe groups. Hybe has been successful in charting their girlgroups in BBHOT100 so why not boygroups as well (except BTS)? HYBE is home to the biggest most successful boygroup and it is expected to atleast understand the chart formula and apply that to other boygroups but so far, have missed the chart. So HYBE has other boygroups like Seventeen, TXT, Enhypen, and newer groups like &Team, BoyNextDoor, TWS, and now Aoen. They, especially the older groups, have realeased really good songs and sometimes they fit well to Western palate but still couldn't chart a single song inside Billboard Hot 100. The Hybe Machinery is there and they have experience in BTS Billboard history, the song is good and fans are supportive so what could be that one thing missing or something they could have done more to chart? In order to chart a boygroup inside Billboard Hot100, fans give the most importance to Sales which still weighs heavier than streams.. and then streaming which is heavily filtered, while radioplay is just hopeless. Hundreds song sales (digital+physical) is equivalent to a million filtered streams. Girlgroups have different ballgame as they chart with very high streams and decent sales. But boygroups have just fair streams but very high sales. BTS has high streams but their sales have been their strongest point. Since 2022, Billboard has made significant changes in its criteria esp Sales specifically Digital Sales which has stricter requirements in order to include the sale in the chart like 1 sale per 1 account per week. What HYBE is doing now with their groups releases is also the same way as they were doing with BTS before 2022 which wont work significantly now that rules have changed esp song sales. The company needs to be aware about initricacies of song Sales criteria and how they could maximize every sale. Fans can only do so much. Example, if the company only releases 3 versions of a song digitally then the fans have to just suck up with it and do what they can with its 3 versions. Take for example KQ's 7yr old artist Ateez who entered the Billboard Chart at #69. What KQ did, I believe, was they released/sell all separate member versions of the Title Track Song and separately the song versions. one song version per member physical CD. Again this is only the Title Track Song + separate versions Physical CDs which way separate from the multiple Album versions as well. And this drove the song sales esp physical song sales. Fans were able to have more options to support the song release. Thus, they charted high in the main chart even if they dont chart high on streaming platforms. KQ played it Smart because physical sales weigh more than streams. Releasing multiple versions is not illegal. People just need to study and understand deeply the rules of the game. If companies can do what KQ did, no doubt theyll be able to chart their groups as well provided that the song is also good and fans are there to support of course. Unless Billboard changes their rules again. I am posting this because I know artists themselves also want to chart in Billboard Hot 100. They work hard on their music, some create and write their music, practise hard everyday, and practically give their all to their fans. But sometimes, the artists and fans can just do so much for what they have. The company needs to also move, understand the rules and think more ways outsde of the box in supporting their artists goals. submitted by /u/-xxx-000-xxx- [link] [comments]

What the title said- but the others can join too! submitted by /u/Specific_Cake_5410 [link] [comments]

I should start by saying that yesterday there was an SKZ concert in Washington wherein multiple people fell ill due to the extreme heat. Concert was outdoor nonetheless. Some kid posted a reel from the concert of Bangchan cussing because he was distressed at the sight of fans feeling unwell. This OP thought it was so "hot" that he cussed and other people in the comments agreed with them too. This OP even said and I kid you not, "it's so hot... he totally needs to undress". On a video of a concert wherein a whole mass medical emergency was actively taking place. I can't describe how angry I am at this ignorant OP's apathy towards the suffering of so many attendees. No fans in any other part of the world would be dropping their bloomers over a single swear word, first of all. They're acting as if Chan passed a bill to end world hunger. And second, these immature Kpop stans need to learn how to read the room. Checking out their idol and commenting on their looks while they are in distress over their sick fans is degenerate behaviour. I'm all for admiring an idol's visuals but there's a time and place for that. submitted by /u/yeojawiththecurls [link] [comments]

With the whole discourse surrounding BlackPink and YG, I will always reminds Blinks and everyone else that Lisa said what she said. I'm her Billboard interview she stated that yes, BlackPink did have plans to comeback together but had not talked about how or when. She also said when asked about the tour, that she didn't know anything about that and Blinks will have to wait for YG to confirm it. This should let y'all know the status or that your and the comeback that none of BlackPink planned nor is prepared for. Also will like to say that yall wanted them to renew after complain for years about YG's incompetence all just to want them to stay with that company and for what??? Y'all had and still do not know what that contract look like nor what they could get YG to agree on. submitted by /u/Spare_Property315 [link] [comments]

it's 12 am can't sleep my brain is everywhere I was thinking of Yibo rock climbing(doing everything), Uniq and Mama Zhou so... Also I don't trust that Instagram page. I sometimes just sit and think about the choreo for eoeo specifically them on After School and I think Eric or one of the boys covered Jimin(Jamie)'s eyes 97 also because my brain goes everywhere I think about Woodz It's Ok which was a song for Idol Producer... that freakin song is sooo good and I think of Yibo dancing to ddu du ddu du which makes me think Jackson dancing to ddu du ddu du and screaming Lisa LIsa LIsa which intertwine with me thinking about the Untamed(I'm not starting with Xiao Zhan cause this gonna end being about Yang Yang I just know it and then NCT cause I'm gonna have to mention that I'm talking about the actor not the German guy) um yes the untamed it's boring, okay maybe it was my Netflix and memories but it was so gloomy looking, it's overrated and only(well mainly) it's so popular/loved cause of shipping culture. I think this is where I want to stop which is a good thing cause I'm sure I would've somehow started talking about how Jessi's butt scares me anyways this will be deleted in 24hrs submitted by /u/Mean-Rooster5814 [link] [comments]

I was having a convo with someone about Kpop generations and noticed within 4th and 5th Gen you rarely see some smash hit ballads. For 2nd and 3rd Gen while there were trendy songs I feel like you also had a lot of memorable ballads so 2NE1’s Lonely, Missing You, Taeyang’s Eyes Nose Lips, Beast’s Rainy Days, etc. I just feel like in the past idol groups could have a hit power ballad that would chart just as well as the fun pop songs. Has anyone else noticed this and why do you think it’s happened that there are less popular ballads from idols? Also feel free to share any good ballads from 4th and 5th Gen groups maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places and not aware of some good ones out there. submitted by /u/Such_Resort3832 [link] [comments]

I think it’s awesome that everybody or most are being really supportive when it comes to Alyssa, I was actually following her for over a year so I was shocked & excited because she's so talented & pretty & stuff! But I just feel like a lot of people are overcompensating when it comes to this fixation like I don’t know... I feel like instead of just admitting that they’re jealous a little or whatever people are overcompensating like OH THANKS ALYSSA FANCOM CLEANSE!! Like calm down she’s doing her job lol, she wasn't trying to cleanse the fandom. And just all the edits. Or a lot of the army calling baby army embarrassing for just being like "💔😭". I don’t know. I’m not a J-Hope bias although I LOVE him and just saw him in concert so I’m not jealous or anything. It’s just a thought cause the complete 180 seems a little sus I don’t know lol. I mean they’re getting more attention than the actual song or GloRilla. That's why I'm wondering if some of it is trying to come off like "Look, I'm a REAL fan! Not these jealous ones!" submitted by /u/Invisible_Rain11 [link] [comments]

I’m not talking about the beginning, but at 0:46 when Liz sings “I might still like you” it sounds like another song I can’t put my finger on. It sounds even more like that other song in this fancam: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rC9D1P/ submitted by /u/riyaax [link] [comments]
