Do you get upset when people compare your favorites to others with the intention of praise?

i only care if

a) i don't think its accurate

b) its used to set them up (my faves specifically)

c) if it's comparing as in x group is better than y group or x song is better than y song etc

no problems with me

comparison is a good tool to gauge success or the competition

it's only how people choose to use such comparisons could it become problematic

No, I'm not deranged

I get very offended when people compare BTS with the Beatles. Besides that, i don't care.

for praise no I do not mind

Yeah and it’s because I think 2nd gen groups suck and it’s an insult to compare exo to them

(Ppl generally compare groups with seniors)

I don't like comparing groups in general and try not to do it at all, if I can help it.

But the example you gave is probably the least "problematic" way of comparing, as it's positive. If someone said that about my favourite groups, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but I know some people might take it as an offence and argue that one group isn't as good as the other.

I thinj intention matters. Like if someone was like “Psycho by Red Velvet feels like it was pulled from F(x)s scrapped catalogue” id agree and take it as a compliment because after their disbandment someone had to take on the harsh role of performing those insane songs well and Red Velvet and Aespa both do so well. (I believe theirs Pre-fx sm and post-fx sm, we go from soft pop and ballads to electronic power songs)

However if someone said “aespa is doing what Fx couldnt” then id be mad

If it's for praise then I have no problem with it.

But in the case(s) where the comparison is used to assert that x is > y then I will fight until my fingers fall off from so much typing.

Asides from that, there should be no comparison at all because ultimately every group is different. Plus we've reached a point in the k-pop industry (or rather music industry in general) where that point of comparison is used in a way meant to demean other groups and throw shade simply because of the subjective opinion that x is better than y.

It depends bc most of the times it's a set up to drag one of the groups so while your dream is beautiful, this is still kpop where 70% of things being said are with bad intentions

But I do it myself without ill intention with Baemon/Meovv and BP and in 2022 I even compared Aespa with BP, but it wasn't musically, concept wise, it was more about the hate both groups got etc.

As long as it's genuine praising, I don't mind. So, no, I do not get upset.

People will always compare, regardless if it's for negative or positive reasons.
