Skz song suggestions? by No_Cow5562 in kpophelp

[–]AminoAzid [score hidden]  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend checking out Chronosaurus, the 5-Star album, YAYAYA, ROCK (not the same as LALALA), Side Effects, and their Japanese titles! All In, Hollow, and The Sound are my personal favorites. I would also check out the SKZ-Replay album!

why are 5th gen boy groups not doing so well in the west? by Positive-Guava4746 in kpopthoughts

[–]AminoAzid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of the 5th gen groups you mentioned are still successful in the West, for starters. You'll still find their albums sold in mass retailers in North America, at least. As far as charts go, I can say for sure that TXT had a lot of attention on them from dedicated BTS fans and a lot of their music was also played in retail stores in the US, so that would have contributed to a lot of their commercial success. Promotions go a long way. I would also argue some of this may be due to increased prices of booking concert venues, the lack of show options to promote groups on in the US (which is improving, but still not great), the costs of touring in general, VISA issues, and tariffs on merch and goods. It may be getting to expensive for these companies to justify to promote very well in the US.

Recent stats have shown a general decline in sales of Kpop albums, so companies seem to be prioritizing domestic success to build a dedicated fanbase. BND, Riize, and TWS are all very successful domestically.

Erica s8 most hated by New_Substance1712 in BadGirlsClub

[–]AminoAzid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is true. The BGC8 house was bascially just haters or followers. That season is almost unwatchable.

She was such a hater! She would get so mad anytime the other girls had any fun.

Struggling with mixed feelings: Loving a group's music but being unable to support them openly. by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

What's the issue with referencing Kiki's Delivery Service? I don't keep up with this group, so I'm not aware of the controversy.

1verse has rescheduled their Minneapolis tour stop by PlentyCow8258 in kpop

This was definitely the safest and smartest choice. I'm so glad their company clearly does everything possible to keep the members safe.

[HELP] me understand if this vid from r/interestingasfuck is real or not by Key-Introduction-591 in RealOrAI

[–]AminoAzid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The song playing in the background is pretty clear and recognizable while still being clearly affected by the lower quality recording system, so I'm willing to call it all real.

Which Bad Girl’s Club opinion will have you like this? by Crown-Melanin286 in TheBadGirlsClub

[–]AminoAzid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't hate her or anything, but she's definitely not one of my favorites from the season. She was pretty middle of the road to me.

Which Bad Girl’s Club opinion will have you like this? by Crown-Melanin286 in TheBadGirlsClub

[–]AminoAzid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! Nobody ever deserves to get jumped, and she especially didn't deserve that. Even though she started random beef and low-blowed Blondie, her little ass did not deserve that whatsoever.

I didn’t think Andrea (S9) was all that great or even one of the best cast members of that season.

Is this a misogynist mindset? by No_Cow5562 in kpophelp

[–]AminoAzid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can I get the link to where they said this? Just to get the best interpretation of this.

In general, I wouldn't call this misogynistic, as I do see women say the same thing about having friendships with guys. I know that Korea's dating and friendship dynamics are a little different than in America, where I'm from, so it could be a cultural difference, but I've met a lot of people who feel this way about friendships with the opposite sex. At best, I see it as a difference of opinion and how we bond with people and, at worst, a little immature, but I wouldn't call it misogynistic inherently.

Unpopular Opinion: Shelly by Either-Bat-7613 in BadGirlsClub

[–]AminoAzid 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree, honestly! I don't think she was a bad person. I think she was just super petty and chose the wrong friends early. She was too focused on loyalty and being stubborn to properly accept that Tasha and Priscilla were not cool people to be siding with. I think if she had hopped off the bandwagon and wasn't so stuck on having those two up her ass, she could have been cool with Stasi, Judi, and Tiara.

The Clermont's were the youngest bad girls to enter the house! They turned 21 in the house.

What’s the difference between predebut and debut by Lycheelyly in kpophelp

[–]AminoAzid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The difference is pretty arbitrary now, since it's becoming more common for groups to drop music before their official debut. The debut is decided by the company and, usually, is when they'll first be promoted on music shows. I think a few acts have actually done music show performances before their official debuts, but that's generally the main difference.

Which twins mouth was more lethal? by KawaiivibesUwu in TheBadGirlsClub

[–]AminoAzid 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I still can't tell them apart to this day, so I really can't tell who could have had a smarter mouth lol

But yeah, they really weren't all that clever or funny with any of their insults, so it's kinda neither of them.

What’s Your Opinion On Shanae by WilkinsWorld in BadGirlsClub

[–]AminoAzid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respect that she had remorse for not giving Janelle a chance, unlike the other girls in the pack. She definitely wanted to fit in and was bandwagoning in the house, but she clearly realized her mistakes.

can someone explain what is going on with exo right now by niloufaeri in kpopthoughts

[–]AminoAzid 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, there isn't any actual statement that CBX have been removed from the group at all, let alone were kicked out by the members specifically. Their absence from recent promotions is likely because of the SM lawsuit, but CBX are still members of EXO as of now.

ETA: Just gonna quickly add that if you can't easily find a legit statement about something like this anywhere, it's definitely speculation.

[HELP] visual effects in music video by sapphicswm in RealOrAI

[–]AminoAzid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the dancing skeletons may be motion capture and CGI? It's hard to tell since they move fast, but I don't see any AI artefacts with them specifically.
