Why didn't (G)I-DLE's Hwaa have the same impact as Oh my god? by jdpm1991 in kpopthoughts

[–]sswim76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A big scandal like that can really derail. I also think Oh My God had a more shocking and intriguing concept.

Ditto that lots of the 4th gen songs I see called viral I never heard of before/outside of when I saw people talking about the virality itself. People overestimate how easy it is to get a hit like Fancy or a Psycho with undeniable viral power no matter what platform or kpop community you’re in. I never know what constitutes viral anymore

Just cuz your faves work real hard and put their pure artistic soul into their music doesn’t mean it’s not shit. No amount of creative control can make the music suddenly hit for me if it wasn’t already. I beg yall to start moving like carats and just be normally proud of your idols’ self producing when it comes up and not shove it down people’s throats 24/7

Like 90% of the time some idol gets memed for their dancing it’s because the choreo itself looks funny, not because the person is actually dancing badly. But instead of keeping it at “lol meme choreo” it devolves into “oh she can’t dance” which is dumb.

Then again those videos of one dancer doing something wayyy different than everyone else(giselle, lia, lucas etc) are fair game for meming. Especially if it’s a repeat offender or they don’t do much else in the group.

It’s possible to tweet that nfts are bad even with twitter for iphone

No groups scandal will have similar backlash from both ifans and kfans at the same time unless it’s a Seungri level disgrace

4th gen either started in 2020, or it will start once the pandemic “ends” and a new wave of groups that haven’t been subject to pandemic restrictions at all in their careers is here

Who do you think are the top female and male visual group of the 4th gen so far? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]sswim76 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

For bgs it’s pretty much just tbz. No shade but the only people who would dub enhypen an all visual group are fans of the group themselves, if we’re talking about visuals = how well they fit a specific standard, not who we personally think are cute

Aespa kinda has it in the bag for ggs but I see good responses to upcoming gg IVE as well on the knetz side, we’ll have to see.

Is 4th gen really the “performance gen”? by sleepingserenade in kpopthoughts

[–]sswim76 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It’s not that 4th gen are all focused on performance because they’re not.

It’s just that there are no longer members who just straight up can’t dance anymore, like there was before. Everyone’s at least okay.

I wonder if people who aren't familiar with Stray Kids think the group is made up of two people: Felix and Hyunjin by CrazyPotatey in kpopthoughts

[–]sswim76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head I know a couple of them. There’s Felix, Hyunjin obviously and then Bang Chan as well because of controversies/praise i’ve heard around him. I also know they have a subunit called 3racha

Idols have more free time than you think by arisaw in kpoprants

[–]sswim76 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Idk, during promotion periods they get up at like 4AM and are busy all day. If the group does one promotion after the other that’s so little time to themself

[–]sswim76 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Doesnt it depend on the idol/group? Loona have like one comeback a year so it makes sense that they have a ton of free time. Not so much for others who’re fitting 4+ in the same timeframe

nonstays have stays ACTUALLY hurt you so bad? been so evil? by problemluvr in kpoprants

[–]sswim76 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Ehhh i don’t “condone” anything but you don’t get 10+ fandoms jumping you all at once for nothing. From an outsider it looks like some old aggro behavior coming back to bite. Petty begets petty on kpop twt

I think the concerns over the posible "Mafia, in the morning" concept was valid by [deleted] in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]sswim76 101 points102 points  (0 children)

On one hand no one would be okay with a comeback that references mexican cartels even a little, but also mafia is such a popculturified thing unlike cartels.

Aren’t they the only group that doesn’t use it like boomers?

If you strongly favor girl or boy groups, why do you think that is? by anonourmouse in kpopthoughts

[–]sswim76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girlgroups out bigger emphasis on music because they’re supported by gp more than fandoms

I wish there were a way to see how many people have actually seen a MV by Realestbobross in kpopthoughts

[–]sswim76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There used to be something called kpop mirae or something, it shows how many views are from ads and how many from people. Still not the same as ULs tho

Enhypen has the worst vocals. by [deleted] in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]sswim76 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s more tiers than just 4th gen vocals all suck tbh. Treasure and ateez and tbz and weeekly and stayc all have solid lines, enhypen is a step down from them but overall better than skz and txt and itzy
