Are Allkpop users really interested in boygroups they don't stan's music and concepts or they just want to be critical?

  • We live in a forum where we are always seeing some groups' music being labeled as "noisy" and "construction music". Well, maybe It's fine... until there. We constantly see, along with these statements, people saying how they wanted more boygroups to do "real music" and a variety of concepts not related to the "noisy-construction-music" image. Also often giving opinions on boygroups' path and which musical direction they should follow to appeal not only to them, but to a bigger audience other than their fans. It's okay. I guess.


    However, during my studies and research, something isn't clicking. I checked many boygroups "Bop, Blop or Flop?" Threads and I noticed the engagement of our regular and beloved noisy boygroups being bigger than the engagement of most groups that do the famous "real music" and "different" concept. In reality, these boygroups' threads are really a flop most of the time. I don't understand why since there's so much demand from the users.


    Do Allkpop users prefer to give chances to groups they already give a bunch of chances and criticize over new boygroups they don't know or boygroups they didn't pay attention in the music before or are known for doing "normal pop music"? Why?


    I selected some exemples of what I was talking about, so maybe you can finally check out (If you are a really interested person).

  • Yeah groups that don't do the typical "noisy" music don't get a lot of attention. It kind of idk it's interesting like you said because people say they want that, but when they get it, they ignore it. Maybe since some of it's from nugus and akp doesn't care for nugu boygroups that can be part of it.


    But not all the groups up there are nugu. I guess these groups still have a low following on akp tho, but idk they still aren't nugu so idk if that's the full explanation.


    I guess more polarizing "noisy" music might get more attention since people like to put more energy in being negative and maybe they ignore the non noisy stuff that doesn't fit the narrative they try to perpetuate.


    sorry this isn't a fully coherent thought. But it's something I think about a lot too, so I have different thoughts on it I suppose...

    Tbh a ton of kpop fans are like this, not just on AKP. I'd say they never gave a chance to these groups in the first place. They've already made up their minds which groups make good music and which ones don't—because they've seen obsessed people parroting "nOiSe mUsIc bAAAD" and decided they would be perceived as cool and edgy and enlightened if they joined in. Like, for an example, I've seen (and I'm sure you have too) way too many people who claimed SKZ's discography is "all noise" or "not diverse" which we know is extremely far removed from truth. (Pretty sure the same goes for NCT who are also a common target, although I haven't listened to that many of their songs.) But they don't care. They just want a reason to hate.

  • I got what you said and I agree with you.


    Thank you for paying attention of how not all boygroups I mentioned are nugu. I selected a variety of nugu, mid tier and popular boygroups. Also, from 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation on purpose. So I wouldn't have to read the excuse of "because they aren't known". Most groups I brought are well known in K-pop community.

  • I stan Astro so every time someone pulls the "I wish there was a boy group that does soft/bright concepts and more gp friendly/non-noisy music" my eyes roll right out of my head and out the door.


    Regardless of the losers who don't want to admit it... those "noisy" groups are popular and the fact that they keep those groups on the tips of their tongue to continually talk about their music or performance or achievements is proof of that.


    :check-bee:

  • I SWEAR I SEARCHED THE BOP FLOP THREAD OF THIS SONG, BUT NO ONE EVEN DID

  • I can't give a proper opinion, my brain isn't functioning well today

    I just think is, a concept doesn't define if a song is good or not. There are so many good songs that people call it noisy just because the production is heavy, and there are also good songs with light concept, but also there are meeeh songs in both concepts too, that's a taste thing. They're not going to satisfy everyone (and never will) whatever the concept they pull.

    i thought about you an Astro immediately.


    We should all just start replying to everyone who makes this complaint with an Astro MV and get them out of nugudom.

    but realistically, it wouldn't make a difference bc those people don't actually care

  • oh no but see they did a "dark" concept and a vaguely noisy song 1 time in 6 years so they don't count anymore or something equally stupid

  • first of all u need to tell me which ones out of these grps are called noisy :eyes:

    The songs I mentioned are the non-noisy ones. And almost all of these groups aren't known for that sound.


    But there's ATEEZ and they are a different case. They are known for being noisy, when half of their title tracks (If not most of them) are brighter/soft, but guess what? Their "noisy" ones are exactly the popular lol

  • can everyone who actually says this bs stream Levanter while you're here? thx
