Why Do A Lot Of ARMYs Who Leave The BTS Fandom Go Straight To Stanning STRAY KIDS?

Why would someone want to success stan Stray Kids if they are flops

Because BTS paved the way

Quote from emanresu

I have no skin in this game.

But in my Tzuyu stanning girl group Stan's opinion.

I have Stray Kids Grow Up up there with Save Me on my Boy Group Richter Scale.

One of the big group greats of the last few years.

I miss when they used to do these kind of youthful concepts when they were teenagers 😭 it's been years

It's another group omg

Quote from tokki-swag

supposedly they have a lot of ex armys.

and I believe it's because BTS going on this hiatus, so those ARMYs needed someone new to stan.

and they see Stray Kids as the "next big thing", so they're hopping on that train, and becoming STAYs.

i know it aint cuz of the music

because going from songs like "Blood, Sweat, & Tears", "Spring Day", "Fake Love" and "Boy With Luv"...to........."Thunderous" and "S-Class" don't make no sense my guy💀

definitely there's a lot of success stanning going on FOR SURE.

just like with FiftyFifty.

people didn't give a damn about those girls, but because of the results of "Cupid", people came out of the wood work and started being a "serious fan of them" and using FiftyFifty achievements to drag everybody else fave....but now look lmao.

ANYWAY, WHAT'S YOUR OPINION OR HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?

Wait you are telling me ARMY's have success stans? Shocking! every big group has some success stans, i don't know what you are trying to achive with this post but literally most ARMY's are still patiently waiting for BTS

well those so called 'armys' were also success stanning bts , since bts hiatus... they moved to other successful groups like straykidz and 17...

I wouldnt call them real armys or stays or carats... they are just success stanners!! 🤭

..to........."Thunderous"

Thunderous is a really good song

Exactly

Anyhow, I liked some Stray kids songs but not enough to stan them

Re 5050, found out about their existence here, checked out their songs and I liked them.

Hiatus are a dangerous period, fans can switch groups just because of the amount of content they are putting out. Less content, less engagement from the fans. And almost all the ARMYs I know in real life are fans or like Stray Kids, so maybe it is a natural step for them.

I don't really follow their stuff much anymore. They don't do stuff like this anymore?

I love all these. But I tend to love the "teenage" versions of Boy groups mostly. Same with girl groups..

Just love that youthful sounds.

To this day my favorite boy group song is Don't Go by EXO which is during their "soft teenage" era.

I wish they never move on from those sounds lol.

They're magical.

They don't. Apart from 'Grow Up' from their debut album and 'Get Cool' from their third album, there's 'School Life' from their pre-debut album and the whole I am WHO mini (where 'Awkward Silence is from and 'My Pace is the title track) is with these vibes.

I love 'My Pace' stages too. They are so full of energy and happiness.

After their debut year, they really didn't produce these songs anymore. I think the only song I can mention is 'Airplane' from GO Live that has a similar vibe. They did a fun self-made MV for the fans on Vlive even

Now they are emos j/

I looove 'Don't Go'. It's one of EXO's most memorable songs. Actually, the whole XOXO is great If we ignore 365

Maybe they’re ex-armys because they were no longer getting enough of their old hype music like Dope or Fire from BTS, in which case Stray Kids does seem like the obvious replacement.

Also, for people stanning for the idols rather than the music, both groups seem very close and have fun relationship dynamics, so that’s probably also a factor.

Why Are A lot Of Army Leaving BTS Fandom for Stray Kids? They aren’t leaving fast enough. Look at The demand for Suga’s tour and the huge numbers JK’s single pulled. Hopefully enough leave so the world tour tickets in 2025-2026 won’t be the holy Armageddon nightmare to get a ticket

If ARMY are smart, they would likely go with Enhypen musically.

add self-producing music to the list, which BTS are well-known for.
