RE : does anyone think aespa will hit it big in the west
-
agree its so lame non kpop fans won't take them seriously. I'm even suprised there's kpop fans who like it
Let's remember there are cringe concepts in the West all the time. Folks just give it a pass because the artists are western.

Can you give an example? Because I don’t see it. Maybe quirky, or weirdo but definitely not songs talking about am imaginary world lol

"Thriller" - Michael Jackson
Western music had fictional, fantasy elements since the beginning.
Props to the people in charge for actually trying something new and eccentric instead of going the safe route. They're pushing boundaries instead of simply imitating whatever's popular with demographics across the world.

That’s interesting because I’m certain that my friends would laugh at me if I showed them Aespa’s concept. Bp‘s Concept is the most “mainstream“, yet my Friends can still barely tolerate them.

Different strokes for different folks. As long as they're not actually hateful and vile about it the way some people are, it's fine.
I'm sure we can't stand certain songs either. We just don't make a big deal out of it by claiming it's too "weird" for specific demographics.
That's the difference between "barely tolerating" and being an anti.

These song could get big in the west with ridiculous lyrics

Display MoreCompanies will always focus on their newer groups, since those are the ones that still need to grow and they're the future of the company.
That's why you'll see JYP focus more resources on NMIXX, SM focus more resources on Aespa and their new bg when it debuts, HYBE focus more resources on Le Sserafim, Starship focus more resources on IVE, and YG focus more resources... well, YG's a different story. But as soon as YG debut their new gg, you can bet your ass off that they'll be getting the full attention and resources of YGE.
Good point.
Shows what a weak, silly excuse it is to blame the lyrics.
As long as the song's catchy, the beat slamming and the MV fun, it'll be a hit.
What does the Fox say was a meme song. Where is Ylvis now almost 8 years later? Nowhere to be seen.
As for Nicki and Cardi, something about using those as examples just screams "Karen". That, or racist. It's literally rap music and written for a mature audience. You same people will then go around and claim people like Giselle are "top rappers" of their generation smh. Meanwhile, Aespa lyrics are corny and kids-bop-y.
The point of that other post that you seem to miss or ignore on purpose, is that your song doesn't have to have great lyrics to become a smash hit, and that you can dislike a song's lyrics or find them nonsensical while that song will still become a megahit.
Practically nobody understood or cared about the lyrics of Gangnam Style, yet that song was a banger that became the world's #1 super hit. And this is just 1 out of hundreds, thousands, songs where lyrics didn't contribute at all to a song becoming a hit song.
So yes, Aespa lyrics can be nonsensical to you, and still the song or sortlike songs with weird lyrics can still become huge hits, because other people don't harbour some hatred towards a group nor care that much about lyrics as they care about how likeable or catchy they find a song.
No, my points seemed to miss YOU. The lyrics in WAP and Anaconda may not be any Shakespeare, but the lyrics aren't "bad" by any means. Y'all really don't know crap about rap and just be saying anything in these Kpop forums. Nicki and Cardi are some of the best top female rappers and you think the beat alone is why those songs popped off??? I know y'all are used to Kpop and y'all are used to not processing or understanding lyrics in Kpop songs but now you're really speaking freaking nonsense. Most people can recite WAP or Anaconda word. for. word. And that's for a reason. Just because the song has explicit and playful lyrics does not by any means make them bad.
And you really saw what I said about the Ylvis and What does the fox say being a meme hit and then still proceed to mention Gangnam style?
do people understand the difference between explicit and fun lyrics and lyrics that do not make a single lick of sense
don’t liken the twokpop fans having the nerve to speak on black female rappers when kpop is the watered down parody version of black hiphop scene, like please stop embarrassing yourselves.
Just going to generally respond to all of these posts.
Why can't we appreciate all these songs and artists as they are?
Many K-pop fans speak about the West as if westerners only love super meaningful and lyrical music. Nope, there's a place for a bit of everything. Whether it's EDM, hip hop, pop, rock, or country, there are western songs that aren't the most meaningful or lyrical, but they're still hits because the artist is skilled in flow and delivery, the lyrics are catchy, and the beat is memorable.
Also, we don't need to pitch western artists and K-pop idols against each other. It's incomparable. Looking at each art form requires different perspectives. Not everything has to be a competition. We could still appreciate K-pop rap for what it is without looking down on it. At the end of the day, this is entertainment. It's really not that serious.

It's all about preference, something that i see a lot people don't understand. The interesting thing is that i see so many people describe aespa's concept as if it's the end of their career. Not liking it is fine, i'm sure there are mys that don't like it and ignore the concept just like there are mys who genuinely have fun with the concept. But to complain about how cringe, weird, or whatever their concept is over and over again and talk about it in despising and mocking manner is ..... idk i would advise them to lessen their obsession and touch some grass.

that's okay, everyone vibes with different stuff, but its also would be a closed mindset to assume it wouldn't work in any case. the smcu actually has a lot of potential in the west in general if they collaborate with the right people. the west would eat that shit up.
