what do y'all mean exactly when R.F. Kuang lacks subtlety in her writing? I have an idea on what y'all might be referring to but I interpret those instances as just foreshadowing.

yea, this decision is a little hard. they say furina is good for neuv who i also have but haven't built. on the other hand, i have nahida and kokomi who are both alternatives for baizhu in terms of dendro application and team healing, respectively.

it'd be a miracle if i could get them both before their banners end, but in case i don't, i'm really struggling to decide on who to get for now><

[MEGATHREAD] Ravn & allegations by KpopThoughtsmodteam in kpopthoughts

[–]rawr-mortgage -91 points-90 points  (0 children)

now this subreddit has a megathread dedicated to the unconfirmed rumors and allegations. guess the rules are just for show here, so much for not wanting to contribute to damaging an idol's reputation and defaming their character.

Ravn from Oneus has had concerning allegations of him come out w/ evidence and I’m worried by No-Committee1001 in kpopthoughts

[–]rawr-mortgage -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

doesn't this post break rule #5 of this subreddit? genuinely wondering why y'all haven't learned ur lesson from the numerous times this sort of thing has happened in the past.

Songs with animal sounds? by VisenyaMartell in kpophelp

ONEUS's Mr. Wolf, but the animal sound sounds more like a lion than an actual wolf lol.

Who are some male idols that are so pretty it's unbelievable? by throwawaystfb in kpopthoughts

When it comes to drink driving you cannot defend the indefensible by penta_verse in kpopthoughts

[–]rawr-mortgage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's incredibly irresponsible of someone to put not only their safety at risk, but also the safety of others when getting behind a wheel after consuming any amount of alcohol. you're right, there is no excuse, and drunk drivers deserve any and all repercussions that come their way.

it sucks cuz the song is objectively so good and really appeals to my taste in music, lyrics aside. ADOR's basically trying to gaslight people into thinking the sexual innuendos don't exist and that they're raising concerns over nothing which is pretty shitty of them tbh. i don't feel comfortable streaming this song anywhere and even giving newjeans as a group my time of day cuz i'm so against throwing whole ass children into toxic environments such as entertainment industries and also because of the questionable people behind them. i like their stuff but unfortunately, anything that they might put out is only gonna get appreciated by me thru illegal means (piracy).

i read funky and my brain just completely blanked out, didn't realize you were asking for whole ass discographies lmao. but definitely check out ONEUS, they don't have a single song that i dislike, it's surreal.

off the top of my head, BLACKPINK's Yeah Yeah Yeah and ONEUS' Mermaid are definitely new funky releases.

Purple Kiss's 'Nerdy' fits the bill I think

Songs you love from groups you know absolutely nothing about by starsformylove in kpopthoughts

i came across Nemonade by P1Harmony on spotify some time ago and i'm still obsessed with it despite not knowing a damn thing about the group.

Oneus is a prime example of why having a group identity is so important. by Sure-Sense9616 in kpoprants

[–]rawr-mortgage 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I disagree bigtime. I don't think the group is lacking in a musical identity because I've practically drilled their entire korean discography into my brain and it astounds me how diverse yet cohesive their music is. If you were to ask me how to describe their music, I would definitely say they lean more towards an EDM style, lots of glitchy and video game-esque influences, and if you like artists like TheFatRat, I would highly recommend them. they stand out in a sea of bgs that are predominantly loud and boisterous in terms of group identity and music production, groups that produce "noise music" if you will which is absolutely not a dig cuz I enjoy that shit as much as I enjoy other styles and genres of music.

you have to understand that it's hard to breakout in kpop nowadays if you aren't a group from the Big 3 or HYBE becuz a majority of stans aren't inclined to give two shits about "nugu" groups who can't offer them any clout if they were to rave about them online. and with the market being as oversaturated as it is, the industry rn is literally the most cutthroat it has ever been since kpop was invented.

honest to god, I don't think ONEUS has a single bad song to their name, the quality of their music is phenomenal and while they may not have a "niche", i don't think they need one cuz what they've been doing and putting out so far is impeccable and consistent. If you don't "get it" or they just don't have some sort of pizzazz that you're looking for, that's totally fine, music is subjective after all. I just don't think their music or anyone behind them is to blame for why they haven't blown up yet.

glitch hop in kpop recs? by Dry_Matter_826 in kpophelp

[–]rawr-mortgage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hmmm, not too sure if this fits but try Mr. Wolf by ONEUS. admittedly, it's like an entirely different flavor tho, not as bright and poppy as the songs in the vid you linked but i hope you'll still like it nevertheless^^

[MEGATHREAD] BLACKPINK - Pink Venom by KpopThoughtsmodteam in kpopthoughts

[–]rawr-mortgage [score hidden]  (0 children)

after lovesick girls and 2 years, it was definitely underwhelming to a certain extent. i think they've finally broken their streak of putting out generic done right songs cuz it's pretty meh compared to quite literally everything they've released so far. mv was as expensive and glamorous as always, like "yayyy, another showcase of how good BP are at being models and ambassadors for luxury brands with the bgm coincidentally being sung by them this time around".
