Do people purposfully ignore blackpinks bside tracks?

  • I feel like the kpop fans who say that all of Blackpink's music sounds the same haven't listened to their bsides...


    I know I'm biased but bps bsides have to be some of my favorite in kpop. they all really are unique and something that I feel only blackpink could pull off.


    crazy over you is grammy worthy, especially the live version like wow

  • It's not Blackpink exclusive, people will not check out the full discography if the title tracks don't work for them.


    So when title track sounds "all the same" to them, and they don't like it, why would they check out the b-sides? It's not that people purposely choose not to check it out, but instead there isn't an incentive to do so.

    Yeah that's true but i feel like bc bps discography is kinda small it would be easy to just listen to the bsides, people are missing out.


    i think that's what's so different from western stan culture and kpop stan culture.


    when beyonce releases an album, EVERYONE, will listen to the entire album. but with kpop, if the title track isn't good then everything else on the album is just obsolete lmao.

    I know. If you’re going to complain, at least know the songs you’re complaining about. If you want to complain about all of their songs, listen to all of them first. There’s not a ton, it won’t take long. What’s stopping them? Fear of actually liking their songs?

  • I'm a blink because of their songs. I heard everything and never missed any of their b-sides. There is so many bsides that worth to listen like really, see u later, love to hate me, kick it, don't know what to do.

  • But even tittle tracks does not sound the same :boredr:

    they really don't. kpop fans have deluded themselves into thinking it does


    and when people complain about the structure I laugh a little bc... they only have four members. two of which are rappers and two that are vocalists. they don't have many combinations that they can do??

    This might be a topic or thread for another discussion.


    In general what I notice from streams on Spotify or Melon is that BG streams are more even, and GG streams are more skewed to title tracks.


    This goes back to the whole GG is GP and BG is fandom narrative and the streams reflect that. So Blackpink like other GGs have their streams more skewed to title tracks.

    yessss honestly i hadn't listened to Blackpink in a little bit since pink venom. I've just been into western music a little more later in general.


    but after pink venom, i listened to all of their songs again and realized the reason why I got into them in the first place. like their bsides are REALLY good compared to other kpop groups, they are unique in the sense that each one could be a title track if it wanted to. people really are missing out.

    Yes indeed.


    It is not easy for me to listen to bsides of kpop groups besides their title track. There are some group that i listened to their bsides but i only like one or two of their bsides. But with blackpink, i have to choose which bsides i love the most which is hard :pepe-puddle:

    yess that is true.


    and i guess a lot of it has to do with the fact that kpop comebacks are a lot more than just the music. its like a whole event, especially with bigger groups like blackpink, bts etc.


    so people dont really care to listen to bsides, bc the title track is supposed to be the main event. and if you dont like the title track you can just look forward to the mv, the dance practice, or the live stages.

    Yesss, tbh I feel like with other groups bsides are always an afterthought but with bp it's the opposite.


    every bside that bp has been crafted with the intention of the listener to imagine a whole music video and choreo attached to it

    :pepe-hehe:

    IKR. I mean, their bsides worth as title track :pepe-flirt: . Blackpink truly speak "Quality over quantity". You can have 1000 songs but there is no quality :pepe-smug: .

    I am not a fan of BP tt but did check out their bsides. I find them better than tt but still not my favourite. But I love Stay, this song is one i really, really like.

    Except in BP case, people are purposefully ignoring the promoted popular B sides and certain title tracks too


    They keep saying BP release same type of song again and again but they ignored:

    1) the softer type of title tracks- AIIYL, IC, LSG

    2) popular B sides which i dont think any kpop would not know - Forever Young, Dont know what to do
