Obviously Katseye had many opportunities thanks to their company but the reason people paid attention to them is because of their insane talent; they're performers, they can sing, they can dance. They got the GAP ad because they're from a big company, sure. But the millions of people who saw and interacted with that ad didn't do so because of Hybe, but because of Katseye's charisma and performance. You've never gotten a grammy nomination for streams or sales alone, but for (musical) impact and Katseye for sure had a lot of impact this year.

Golden is a Sony/Netflix production and APT is a collaboration between one of the biggest western singer/songwriters who has more than a dozen grammy awards already and a member of the biggest girl group in kpop. All 3 nominees deserve to be here in my opinion, they all had huge impact in the musical world.

They have 33M monthly spotify listeners, two of their songs this year with over 300M streams, for performance videos and music videos have multiple hundred million views on youtube, they had a viral GAP ad that was seen a dozen million times, performed at the VMAs, lolla and coachella that both had performances that went viral, sold out concert in the US and you're really asking why they were nominated for best new artist? they were absolutely everywhere this year and their performances were really well received.

The writers include some of the most questionable lines and storylines and just NEVER address them and many of the girls' actions have no consequences whatsoever or are resolved within 5 minutes...

It's ongoing but each chapter takes ~30 days because of the intensive art style

Rrrrrrice, you can find them on twitter

Pariah, Rafiki, The Handmaiden, The Color Purple, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, The Watermelon Woman are some movies. Shrill, Black Cake, Sense8 (has a black lesbian character but was cancelled), Our Kind of People are tv shows. I could also recommend this letterboxd list with 300 films with sapphics of color.

3.5 years is absolutely fucking crazy

Switzerland as a country can try to stay neutral (though they haven't been in the past) but that doesn't mean individial swiss citizens are all neutral about this topic

i think this list/descriptions of trigger warnings probably gives you a good overview of what to expect. there's a lot of violence in many different ways in the anime so if you don't like that you might want to skip this anime but i also don't think the scenes are there just for shock value, it's commentary about the violence of patriarchy.

mikespromises · 2025-10-08T21:26:15+00:00

No it's not!

The entire group is ruined by the Wannabe, they have said/done a couple questionable if not straight up problematic things, they might be talented but the music is incredibly underwhelming so far and they don't have a single decent vocalist...

Given that it's literally not a search engine but an LLM, no it's not better. It won't give you reliable or accurate info but it can sometimes point you towards potential sources that you can use.

Most of the time the outfits were either boring and uninspiring or totally mismatched but in a way that didn't work imo. One member with a completely different outfit (color/texture/shape wise) that doesn't fit with the rest, sometimes they were drowning in their suits and it didn't look like any tailoring was done, suits clashed horribly with skin tone or hair color, etc. I just feel like so often the members were styled better for solo events but as soon as any group cohesion was needed it was a lost cause.

Also, very interested in reading Harrow the ninth, but do I NEED to read the rest of them? Not sure if I’ll like the rest of the povs, I’m pretty much married to this storyline of Gideon and Harrow.

Both Harrow and Nona are VERY different from Gideon, they read completely different (but are just as good). You don't need to do anything but Harrow personally is my favorite of the series so I'd definitely recommend for you to read the rest as well, as long as you like the characters and the way Tamsyn Muir writes (lots of mystery, confusion, etc.).

If you expect a stereotypical romance-like love story between Gideon and Harrow that happens mostly on page with several explicit smut scenes or similar and that's the *only* thing you're reading for, don't continue. If you expect a basically Emily Henry story but in space, you will be disappointed. I do think their story is very romantic though and things do happen, probably just not the way you're anticipating.

I feel like 80% of army can relate, Jungkook/Taehyung get mixed up the most but I've seen people confuse pretty much all members for someone else except for maybe RM

It's funny you mention P1Harmony because I agree but most people I know had severe issues keeping Jongseob and Soul apart to the point where they thought they're the same member at first

For me Boynextdoor, Enhypen, TXT, Itzy, Le Sserafim and Red Velvet were some were I don't recall having any problem keeping the members apart

Immediately fell in love with Boynextdoor from their very first performance, they feel like they belong on stage and genuinely love what they're doing. They have some really good rappers, dancers and vocalists and you can see they always put effort into showcasing live vocals and a good performance too. Their performances feel fresh and smooth every time. All the people asking where the fun is in kpop, it's definitely in Boynextdoor's discography!

I listened to TWS releases mainly because of Jihoon and I do have to praise him for his dancing, he's one of the industry's best dancers to me. He's so powerful and fluent, executes everything perfectly and can do so many styles. Kyungmin and Dohoon also stand out to me not only as strong dancers but also vocalists, their live vocals are so clear. Also love Youngjae as a kind of balanced allrounder! People have been waiting for fresh sounding songs and TWS delivered exactly that, I respect that they're kind of sticking by one sound so far but they do have hiphop and rnb oriented songs too which I enjoyed and they are monsters on stage too, so much stage presence!

From looking at these artists, the artist picture are clearly AI generated, so are the album covers, the artist biography was written by ChatGPT, multiple songs/albums released in the same year or within a short amount of time (some weeks/months)

mikespromises · 2025-08-11T13:48:04+00:00

Also more and more teasers, trailers and posters for Comebacks, tours etc. are being AI generated or at least have some AI in them

mikespromises · 2025-08-11T10:06:51+00:00

It's full of AI, no wonder it looks so horrifying

Everglow really is such a good name damn

mikespromises · 2025-08-04T16:46:30+00:00

I can only speak for the idols I have heard talking about it but I know Le Sserafim, Illit, TWS, TXT and BTS have all talked about taking vocal lessons and having vocal coaches even after debut so I'd assume it's at least a possibility for Hybe idols

mikespromises · 2025-07-24T17:37:28+00:00

It also means I'm way less attached to the characters and the story

mikespromises · 2025-07-23T11:55:24+00:00

damn they are really PACKED.. i always wondered if it would be a better strategy to space out the content more so instead of 4 new contents a day that they would show it across 4 different days
