been away from kpop social media for so long i forget how much i despise most of it

#in particular: the shortest memories + wanting to be the mean girl with hot takes soooo bad + hating anything new #+ complete absence of critical thinking skills + pretending to actually understand queer culture + being 'holier than thou' #did you know that every single time a new company announces a new group there will always be the flood of 'rip their old groups' #'pay attention to your existing groups!!!' #without fail since 2014 I have seen this firsthand #do y'all not realize that these are entertainment companies not parents foregoing birth control right #ofc they're gonna make new fucking groups #that's how business works? #and please give me empirical proof that they're 'mistreating' their older artists esp in the context where they're all just investments #and the nct takes omg #y'all hate cunty music sooooo much #everyone loves to hate sm so much like it's some sort of dysfunctional negligent parent #girl it's a company #one of the largest entertainment powers. actually has a good system of conceptual artistry. actual innovation #like i'm sorry one single modulation in a song will light your ass on fire #ppl are so concerned about songs being one single mood rather than an interesting journey #maybe that's my adhd talking but like normal song structures are so fuckin boring #e.g. compare exo's sweet lies vs like monsta x's nobody else #very similar vibes #but you know what makes sweet lies better #that fucking song structure. a good team of rnb producers. intricate vocals with good musicality #no hate to hyungwon ofc but nobody else is mostly vibes but sweet lies is INTERESTING. #also with riize lmaoooo #siren was so good? the rhythms and textures hello does anyone even care anyone #can't y'all let us have fun #did you see how much sauce they had #y'all realize musical records are more than just 'i need to be able to listen to this with earbuds while on a walk' #dancers djs and clubbers will beat your ass #y'all want riize to fail soooo bad
