Will a coalition against BTS be viable?

lmaooo

There is a coalition, between UMG and BigHit

New American boy group in 2022

i-is it that serious

why so cute?!? 🙈

The op is a history genius

So it's kinda like the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire. They just need to find BTS's exhaust port.

Politics

The effort.

C minus

I always look forward to your posts to be completely honest. I was literally smiling the whole time since I saw the title of this thread to the end of it. Thanks man

OT, their labels won't let them, not when BTS makes more money for them than their own full time signed artists do. Columbia Records/Sony's biggest cash cow is BTS. UMG Japan makes so much money off of BTS that BTS were UMG's top 5 revenue generating artist too. And now UMG is in multiple partnerships with Big Hit especially the one to make a global boy group. If BTS continues to be successful, they can hope for some support from BTS' ever growing fanbase for their new boy group.

So basically BTS is making so much money for the industry and their growth continues to increase the size of the pie for everyone that none of the big labels are gonna try to block them. The music industry benefits as BTS grows even bigger in size. They are a money making juggernaut.

Beautifully said

BTS can't really be compared to a single fixed country at this point, the analogy doesn't work because their revolution isn't undermining the status quo like the French Revolution was seen to be doing, it's actually making the rich RICHER and teaching them new ways to engage with fandoms and creating long-lasting acts in the streaming era.

Their whole using artists as IPs so they don't have to be involved in everything but still make money is genius, and other companies are picking it up FAST.

People didn't want to be saved from music's oppression, they just wanted more authenticity, ingenuity and engagement.

Lol

No need. A Boy band's heyday, no matter how big, last about 5 years. While it could be argued it began in 2016, I personally believe BTS phenomenon began in 2017 so by 2022, they will go the way of one direction and nsync.

Now if they do last that long, well..

Things have changed and a new challenger for BTS is most likely to be built in , out of all companies, Big Hit. So UMG would be more likely a successor to BTS

Hard to tell but I guarantee somebody important in the US is pissed off about this and only a matter of time before they do something about.

I like this post a lot, lol.

Maybe because I'm french, idk.

Please keep writing OP

Except that the reasons leading to Nsync and One Direction's disbandement don't exist for BTS. Obviously others might appear, but they have complete control over their music, are free to develop solo projects, actually like working together, and their success is entirely sustained by their hardcore fanbase.

That's a very different position from any boys' band - or even artist - in history imo.

I don't know how close attention you paid for the last 4 years but the labels WERE pissed, and the way they were treated, backburnered, and the other kpop groups they tried to hype shows they saw BTS as a threat. Look at how they're a top three best selling artist in the US and had a top 5 hit but aren't nominated in a single main grammy catagory - the industry was still gatekeeping the hell out of them through 2020.

Billboard and variety, both industry puppets, were always shanking and underplaying BTS. 'trying to do something about these upstarts" was the name of the game for a very long time.

That's the old era, however, and now that BH makes UMG & Columbia tons of money and has signed huge deals with UMG (the biggest current player), now they're bound to make huge money forever.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, and BH is officially big enough now bc of BTS to be worth joining.

As amalyas pointed out, that doesn't really work as a parallel.

One Direction and nsync did not have in-group producers/songwriters/lyricists, weren't famous for their artistry, they each had 1-2 members that were much MUCh more popular than others to the point 2-3 were literally seen as filler, neither were teams of creators, solos were NEVER part of their makeup, their discogs did not get any respect, and honestly they were never seen as 'artists'.

The closest parallels to BTS truly are the Beatles for that reason. Their ability and future as creators is almost limitless, and unlike the Beatles each one has a credible ability to become independently extremely successful outside their identity as BTS.

Also the idea they're going to fade when 2021 their numbers are STILL exploding is... entertaining.

That’s the difference between BTS and these bands. BTS fan demographics is that over 70% are 20 years above. That kinda fandom will never fall outF2562B98-DEC1-4307-833C-EA3346A10607.png

Why would they be pissed? Aren't you contradicting yourself when you estimated BTS has only 2 years of life left? So by that logic no one would need to do anything as BTS would perish themselves.

2 years is still a long time, my friend.

Tell you what? You've got a wild imagination.😁

THIS is a good comment.

I've only seen Adele perform live out of Billboard's Greatest Pop Star list.
