Do you think medias are genuine when praising popular groups?

Are they critics? Yes, it can be genuine.

Are they not? Clout.

juat like us fans there are truly genuine stans an success fans

Nope

I don't believe a single article praising an artist

Unless it's a music or album review from few websites that I know doesn't sugarcoat anything they dislike, like Pitchfork.

You can totally disagree with every word they say, but every word they say truly shows their true and honest opinions

yes, most are genuine. but, always take it with grain of salt or skepticism.

just think of the other side: so bashers are not genuine? are they after clout?

yes, they are genuine. they wouldn't put their reputation on the line for nothing.

just think of the other side: so bashers are not genuine? are they after clout?

What reputation they are exactly putting in line when praising some random group in some random article?

i dont think so, moostly they just want fans attention

People will tell you what you want to hear most of the time, not the truth.

A German politician once said: "no one has any intrntion to build a wall" to a reporter. 2 months later the Berlin wall was standing.

Thats basically life in a nutshell.

Kpop isnt Revolutionary, its nkt some artistic grandeur and genius work. Its pretty and entertaining. Every article that says otherwise is just overdoing it for the fans satisfaction.

It depends on the source. If it's stuff like ent programs/sites, news or reviewers then it's obviously genuine since that is their primary objective to talk about that sort of thing

However when you get random out of the blue mentions from places especially when a group does something popular then yeah it's as case of jumping on the bandwagon

DO you think medias are genuine if they bash popular groups?

Both can be for clout. So positive clout for clicks I suspect any group would prefer than an article bashing for clicks.

In any case that group is popular enough to be used for clout pos or neg so they doing something right.

Both yes and no. Not every praise is genuine. It depends on the "credibility" of that media.

The only opinion that’s correct is mine.

I don't think so, well not always. Usually, when interviewing or doing a game with them or whatever, I think they're there for clout unless the people behind it are obvious fans. But I don't really know. I feel like when they introduce them it always seems like they do research first

No. You do have a few who are genuine fans or supporters, but most are just a part of the hype machine.

Missconception

Every media is subject to bias that's exaclty the point of media, if you don't want biased opinions then you don't want opinions period. All reviews would be technical and not opinative

Pitchfork is biased, but ultimately sincere. They write about what they believe and that's why I like them

Tbh I listen the opinion of ppl around me usually. Whatever media it maybe. I find that far more valuable than critics. More often than not I disagree with critics.
