Kpop companies built fandoms around concepts and lores where Stan’s spend hours on end theorizing and recent NJ/MHJ trashing is a result of that

Perfectly said.

It's been over 12 hours and i still cannot believe people are serious

I don’t like lores where I have to theorize the thing in front of me but I like the idea of concepts and lore aesthetic in K-pop. It makes it more entertaining than just listening to a song. The whole aesthetic/story package is important to me.

K-pop already lost the fun varieties, so imo concepts (and dance performance) are all they have to stand out. I already listen to my country’s songs and western songs more. Music on itself isn’t that special.

People cannot operate on anything else besides framing things as victimization

> someone got offended

> someone got outraged

> someone got canceled

> someone got mistreated

> someone got ratio’d

That’s because logic and reason require too much brain power, so it becomes easier to fall back on emotional persuasion to get their agendas across.

I really dislike lore in kpop too. That and kpop album names like "negentropy - the ambiguous paranomasia chapter 4"

Who cares? Just give me the bops

Let the people have the fun

we need to go back to baby boy and baby girl lyrics and concepts

They are better anyway

When FBI shows up to our door then wot?

much as I love both albums, more than once have I thought

"Did The Most Beautiful Moment in Life pt 1 and 2 cause irreparable damage to kpop communities?"

If this wasn’t a terrorist group and was instead some other institution kpop fans would be hailing their favs for being “so deep” 😭😭😭😭

Everytime I look up any lore I just instantly scroll. The curtain is just blue Susan leave me alone 😭

ETA will obviously be a recruitment video for spanish terrorist organization. Obviously. Kpop community connected the dots!

Honestly thought people didn't really know what ETA stands for. Was wondering how it was linked to a terrorist group, but then I saw all the names and stuff people posted and

let them cook?

I'm not for lores myself.

What matters most to me is the music. Whether I like it or not.

Lore is just another gimmick to sell the groups, make "special" and "deep", but generally it doesn't really bother.

What bothers me is how it never goes anywhere actually interesting. A lot fluffy for nothing.

A lot of the tactics MHJ is using with NJ is very similar to what BH was doing with BTS back in the day. Of course, it never went anywhere and was eventually drop.

it all comes down to “show, don’t tell”

Lore that has to be told via backstory, essays and other prose are BORING

but if you can wordlessly and aesthetically do that, I don’t mind

I don’t care what it is, just do it beautifully

I didn't know what eta means. The only eta i knew of is "edit to add" lol

But it turned out it's a terrorist organization. Our first terrorist concept in kpop!

I loved lore until my other ult group (&TEAM) was a given a lore that I fucking hate because I think werewolves are stupid.
