Personal preferences in akp (not a shade thread)

Disclaimer:This is not a shade thread. Just me trying to earn akorns by typing this senseless thread

I realize this every time I enter a bop or blop thread for artists(talking about those that aren’t my faves). I came to conclusion that me and akp stans in mass to a certain extent have a very very different music taste.

Duh it’s personal preference but WHY IS MINE SO DIFFERENT?

Like every song that gets praised to the moon, I fail to see the appeal of it, and songs that get mixed reviews are actually likeable to me…..

Except few songs that akp users as a whole community disliked…yes I agree with y’all on that.

I should sleep 💤

eyy! your faves are your faves because of your personal taste! I really dislike it when ppl shade others for being fans of certain groups( especially like shading popular groups) Like they know music is subjective-- everyone has their own feelings/taste in it.

Yes personal taste!!!!! This thread is just me being whiny over the fact that there aren’t many who share same preferences as mine when it comes to my casuals or non fave artists 😂😂- I should change my title

Quote from ultraaviolet

eyy, well my taste is pretty different sometimes too lol. I get really picky about how songs are mixed, its why I like certain songs but really can't like others even if the concept is to my taste.

Oooh I see I see… sometimes I like certain songs but they don’t seem to be many’s fav ( idr the exact votes(I could be wrong here)) like I liked twice’s alcohol free but it was called elevator music by folks here 😭😭😭😭😭 - but like we agree it’s personal taste

Quote from ultraaviolet

Wait I love alcholol free!!!!! It's one of twice's songs that I stream the most. But I really really disliked more and more, the chorus was just not it for me.

I listen to twice main tracks casually but I don’t remember listening to m&m either

Quote from bobsyouruncle

so you like O.O?

You didn’t read the last two lines in the op, did you?

Quote from Slayurfaves

that's how I felt about pop everyone was praising the song but I thought it was just ok

the song was pleasant but I tapped out immediately when I heard the rap so I agree with you

Quote from quarkie

It's because people equate "I don't like this song" with "I don't like this group" and it take it as a personal insult even if it's not written insultingly.

Lets not gloss over the fact that some users are genuinely awful and it doesn’t stop with I don’t like the song

Quote from Lulu_Key

I think only songs from artists with small fandom in akp get honest reviews here

I think it’s easy to spot the haters among reasonable critics and I feel most are pretty honest in what they like and dislike here but I get your sentiment

Quote from bobsyouruncle

when i read this thoughts of O.O overwhelmed my mind so much that i had to post immediately

Except few songs that akp users as a whole community disliked…yes I agree with y’all on that.

Quote from Ves

Ok, I have said this many times over the years, but here it is as a personal gripe towards scathing song and other types of reviews. So here it is:

I don't feel there is any point to giving so-called "constructive criticism" to kpop groups because the word "constructive" should imply that it will be used for some learning by said group. Will it? From AKP? Um big fat NO and if you think it will make a difference to the kpop industry, I have a bridge to sell ypu. The only point is you getting whatever it is off your chest and there are consequences to that...

Now, does this mean you should never share that you don't like a certain song? Of course not. Share away. But there is a line where your post becomes less about you just not liking it and more about you implying others are deaf, dumb or blind for liking it and that's when it becomes insulting.

Advice: Try to stay away from that line unless you're trying to troll and incite. Of course some of you actually want to troll and incite as you get a kick out it, so far be it for me to try to curb your enthusiasm. As long as you can handle the heat, feel free, but for the rest of you who are trying to write well meaning posts and not become AKP troll #1293, face the site's wrath then cry to the mods, keep that in mind.

I have written few reviews and none of them were pushed to any of the extremes you mentioned bcos I stayed respectful and the reviews were limited to the songs and factors parameter to it. As for others who I have seen get dragged were obv displaying anti behaviour in cosplay of being a constructive criticiser

And yea it is ironic when they play victim over others criticism and call out mods

Quote from Lulu_Key

Nah that's not what what I meant.

People who might be reasonable critics are still discouraged to leave a comment on popular groups review threads bc they will get jumped.

I myself avoid that bc who has time to deal with 20 people on you for a song I don't even like lol

I still see plenty say they dislike a song from pop groups and leave unscathed. The ones who get jumped are the ones who are disrespectful to the artist and whatever that is deemed disrespectful by the fans but yea I myself refrain from commenting on any of these threads except my faves cos ppl see fandom first and not my opinion

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

I have the exact same problem. AKP in general is like the Bizarro world.

But what songs have you hated/disliked that AKP has loved? What songs have you loved that AKP has hated?

I like alcohol free, but many seem to not like it. I dislike pop many seem to like it

Quote from fdblink

My Once a day threads has taught me even within my fandom, we can't agree on the same songs lol

Also I genuinely like IGBAS so you can imagine how I feel mt taste is extremely off

Is that the famous I’m gonna be a star ?
