Why do some people have an issue with ITZY's lyrics?

I would personally dm you the reason otherwise it will come off as rude.

it's because some people wanna be "pick me" kpop stans and talk about how "fake" the lyrics are.

Like the hit song of 2014 literally only had the lyrics of "follow me. JUMPING NOW JUMPING".

the "I am not like other girls" kind of vibe is stretching a lot now..

I actually prefer Not shy's lyrics more than the others...

self love is all nice and good but it does feel over the top now cause thats all the lyrics say

But their songs are way too much bop for me to ignore or not like, I end up jamming

(also the amount of gg doing self love concept is huge these days though)

i dislike the se*ual dance in not shy

Im traumatised like young girl

I think it's more of a you problem if you're seeing it as sexual, I ppersonally didn't even think that move was remotely sexual....

.....i dislike not shy for that

Quote from Sweet-Spice

Can't stand people who suddenly pretend to care about lyrics when their faves have put out a bunch of nonsensical and questionable lyrics. It's kpop. Shouldn't be that deep.

but Itzy is a fun punching bag and easy targer, so they fail to see the double standards.

Yes! Call them out on their bulls**t

Some people say that their lyrics are childish.

"Their lyrics are so repetitive!"

*Then Goes to listen to 15 different love songs because that's what 75% of what pop songs are about.*

wtf?

I felt like their lyrics in ICY were a little cringe, especially translated into English. However, that's also my favorite song of theirs. I think it's their best song because even though it's almost two years old it never gets boring to listen to.

Quote from itiswhatitisss

At first, I think alot of people didn't have a problem with them. But as time went on and they released ICY, Not Shy and Wannabe, people started complaining about the themes in their lyrics, which were mainly about empowerment, being confident and being yourself, etc.

My question is: What's the problem? Is it bad to have empowering lyrics? I personally think it makes them stand out from other groups, especially when a majority of KPOP songs are about love or partying(not like it's a bad thing, but those are common themes).

Not Shy was a bit different, the lyrics were more about love than about empowering yourself and being confident, but still.

Isn't there a pretty big "man's rights" movement in South Korea?

Incels are going to hate on strong women messages.
