What are the indications of a solid fan base?

Cheers you up: Makes you cry: Workout song: Gets you angry: Makes you feel nostalgic: Girl boss/badass song: Makes you feel like you’re in a movie: Breakup song: Could listen to on repeat for 8 hrs: Makes you wanna dance/party: Makes you swoon/heart flutter: A personally meaningful song: A song that grew on you: A disliked/unpopular song that you enjoy: Silly/unserious song that’s still a banger: Yes this song is popular but not the least bit overrated: Song you could fall asleep to: Song you’d set as your ringtone: submitted by /u/Lilac-Soul [link] [comments]

Sorry if this is not the right way to ask this question, but why is Pentagon the header for this sub right now? Usually the header is about like a current comeback or something. I love pentagon so if they are currently doing something I would love to know and am surprised to have not heard about it lol submitted by /u/ShinyFlower19 [link] [comments]

Someone said that they all don’t look their age but imo I think they do. Martin looks like one of the guys I’d see in my Canadian high school he has that jacket and shorts cult look. I feel like they all look like teens since I’m one my self. And I don’t really trust people to guess ages because when I was 14 I asked a lady how old she thought I was and she said early 20s. From someone who is older sure they might look mature but they act and look very 16 yr old to me. I also never get what people expect teens to look like. 18 and 20 ain’t that far so like what could possibly be so different? Cause y’all will see someone who is in high school and be like « oh you look so much older » but not everyone is short or baby faced. And not everyone dresses the way think they should. submitted by /u/Royal_Land_7344 [link] [comments]

One group that comes to my mind and I'm a HUNDRED PERCENT sure they won't survive is madein, with the boycott they are receiving and literally the members looking miserable they will not survive, the only reason why they are holding on is because the only source of support they have is from jfans which is unfortunate, they should not receive any support with what the CEO did to gaeun and now apparently 3 members are now on hiatus including yeseo. Anyways boycott 143 save the members. submitted by /u/hearts4him_ [link] [comments]

The title is actually a comment I saw on tiktok, and it got me thinking. Both marketed as an “uncensored” “raw” group of teens/young adults just making music. I do think bighit’s group more accurately fulfills that role considering how in Cortis’s case, it’s not just marketing and the members are actually involved in their production. I honestly appreciate that about cortis quite a bit. I’m excited for them as a group of artists. I’m a person that believes art can come from people of any age. When I say this I think of Olivia Rodrigo, and how Sour is a great album abt the teenage experience that thruthfully only a teen could have produced. So, with that in mind, I’m excited to see what themes and sounds will come from them moving forward. Lastly, I don’t think this event will escape the collective kpop memory , so I bring it up, but with how riize turned out when their kfans discovered a member actually was a teen, I sincerely hope cortis’ management is willing to stand behind their group and the image they have chosen unlike what happened with sm. What do y’all think? submitted by /u/Sellingoldkpopstuff [link] [comments]

It honestly took me some time to finally put this into words, but I feel like I’ve started to slowly drift away from Stray Kids. I wasn’t there from the very beginning since I only became a fan during Levanter era, but they really meant a lot to me. You can even see it on my profile how much I adore them, half of my room was even dedicated to them. It’s just that lately, I find myself not connecting with their newer music the way I used to. When God’s Menu came out, I was still a fairly new STAY, but I could already tell it was something special. I remember how excited we all were seeing it get so much love, not just from STAYs but also from casual K-pop fans. After that, they gave us two more incredible comebacks with Back Door and Thunderous, which further cemented their step out of nugudom for good and everyone was looking forward on whatelse are they going to serve given their versatility. However, instead of getting versatility, it rather started to feel like their title track choices leaned more toward recreating the same powerful vibe that made God’s Menu such a hit. It has always been the same formula, intense beats with choruses that felt more like drops than lyrics. Of course, there may be exceptions like Case143, but since then, the setup has always been quite similar, which was a little disappointing considering how much I admired their versatility before. To be fair, they still show that side of themselves through B-sides and solo releases, but I always thought it would’ve been even more meaningful to highlight that versatility on their title tracks. Their constant chase towards the magic of God’s Menu over and over, totally lost me. I really did try to hold on even through S-Class, but with their recent comeback, Ceremony, I think that’s when I realized I was truly letting go. Like what you mean you’re only giving me 5 words in total for chorus, repeat it a few times and then call it a day? I just hope they can reciprocate whatever they’re doing with their japanese releases because their recent JP comebacks have been way better than whatever their doing with their KR comebacks lately. I know this might come across the wrong way, but please believe me when I say I’m not a hater. I truly admire how talented 3RACHA are, and a part of me still hopes they’ll surprise me again someday. But for now, I think this is where I quietly step back as their music no longer resonates with me. submitted by /u/Time_Engineering5337 [link] [comments]

Top 10 favorite Title Tracks from 2025. submitted by /u/soyeahanyway_ [link] [comments]

And they also debuted all of their songs on Spotify US too (except 0801)! I think they have a good chance to debut multiple songs on Billboard US 100 next week (depending if they can maintain good streams throughout the week) but this is an exciting time for SKZ! And Ceremony is getting 3.41 million debut streams, while not their biggest one (Chk Chk Boom is still holding that title), it is still a great number! They managed to move into top 10 Spotify Artist at number 8! Did not manage to break the KDH strong grip but 18.26 million streams for their first day for KARMA album is not a bad day indeed! I saw that JYPE is releasing remixes so this is their effort to push Ceremony higher and we shall see if this effort will be a success or not. I know it is only one day of the release but I am excited nonetless! It is a fitting closure to DominATE tour and a preview of their likely-encore concert/s ahead to really properly end an era (DominATE era). submitted by /u/Many-Ad-9007 [link] [comments]

Because when I think of TWICE I think of nine amazing, empowering, talented women that reached heights no Korean girl group has ever reached, and they remained humble and authentic every single step of the way. Most of the members are not even aware of the records or musical feats they’ve established in the last 10 years. Arguably the nicest human beings in the entire industry. Yet it seems that Western media has viciously targeted them throughout their career, specially in the last months. So the question is, what has TWICE done to deserve this treatment from Western mainstream media? Who is behind these slander campaigns and what is their interest behind these campaigns? Before anyone mentions it: group ≠ fandom. A fandom is not an excuse to hate on the artists themselves and their music. The official accounts of YouTube Music and Duolingo disrespecting TWICE, among countless other examples over the years, is undeniable evidence of this agenda against TWICE. Very sad! submitted by /u/KyeodeurangiMerchant [link] [comments]

I see a ton of these posts from people wondering or contemplating if kpop is too childish for them to enjoy at their age. At best, this is just stupid. At worst, this is disrespectful. You can enjoy kpop, nay, you can enjoy any form of entertainment at any age. (For adults, obviously there is some entertainment a kid shouldn't be viewing let alone enjoying.) I have seen older kpop fans bring up genuine or at the very least reasonable/arguable reasons that make them skeptical of enjoying kpop (not that I agree with them) but the fact that it is "too childish", pardon my French, is complete bullshit. Even if we grant that kpop is childish for a second, who gives af? Adults can enjoy things designed for children/younger people. Even if this isn't true and that above statement is up for debate, what answer are you possibly trying to get from us? Isn't this something that is entirely up to you? How can we tell you if something is too childish for yourself? That doesn't even make sense. Also Kpop isn't childish, because kpop isn't a monolith. Some kpop is childish, other kpop isn't. You can absolutely find kpop more targeted to adults or general audiences if you want, and it is nowhere near as hard to find as many people may suggest. By asking this question, you are essentially belittling everything kpop is and can be and treating it as a singular thing in a context where it doesn't make sense to do so. This only leads to misinformation and discourages artistic discussion and music discourse surrounding kpop. In conclusion, listen to whatever you want to listen to. You decide what that is. submitted by /u/SnooOranges829 [link] [comments]

Ruby and THIS IS FOR are my favs. submitted by /u/Stan_aespamygirls [link] [comments]

I rant, like a lot, but I'm painting you a picture, so if you dont wanna read it thats fine. Just dont comment "im not reading all that" because no one is forcing you, I promise. So I recently got reinterested in finishing the Produce saga. I watched the Wanna One season and unexpectedly got so invested in the boys and that whole journey. I also had lots of fun picking my favs to see how they faired after the contract ended. The variety shows during Wanna One's duration kept me busy for a good 2 weeks after I finished watching Season 2, honestly they were such an interesting bunch of people and made me laugh out loud so many times in that Wanna One Go series. I just wonder. Whenever I watch an Mnet show I tend to go back to YouTube to watch some clips (or performances in this case) in 4k because we all know the sites that are still available for free to watch old shows are limited, dont have the best quality, and often cant be sped up. Anyway, as I was watching Nayana, the next video suddenly started playing and it was X1-MA (honestly gives me goosebumps, that performance was fire). I spent a few months afterwards pretending I didnt care because while I wasnt a kpop fan at the time, I probably only got into kpop a few months after their sudden disbandment and I kept hearing little tidbits here and there about what happened. It made me feel weird about possibly watching it too. But yesterday I got nostalgic and listened to Nayana again, which obviously made me remember X1-MA. So I played myself, I told myself, "fine, I just wanna know who the cute boy is and why that line up came to be". Next thing you know I'm crying while watching the episodes, rooting for strangers, and hiding it from my family in case they roast me about crying over kpop things. I finally reached the part when the X1-MA stage was performed. But now I really dont know whether to continue. If you watched Produce X 101 did you feel like you wish you never got invested in them? I mean, the X1 that ended up being formed? (No spoilers please, I'm using this to try and figure out if I should continue anyway and would really appreciate going in with a fresh set of eyes and ears). I just find it sad that everyone put in so much work only for some people to be cheated out of the opportunity. I'm actually shocked Mnet ended up making another eries like this (for girls, but still — I think, I only heard through the grape vine, back then I was skilled at avoiding things that didnt concern me). Do you wish you never saw the formation of X1? Did you feel resentment at the final lineup? Idk, someone help me out. I'm actually more interested in the final few episodes anyway, I was actually skipping the performances for Wanna One's season too because it felt repetitive at some point. The fun lies in after debut. But considering X1 didnt last– ugh, I'm going in circles. Do you regret it? Will I regret getting more invested? submitted by /u/YoungComplete7208 [link] [comments]
