The Red Velvet of "Russian Roulette" and "Rookie" was so ahead-of-its-time that they had to overcompensate by indulging in empty 90s R&B to get fanfare from America.

'Tis right.

wtf hell nah

Nah nothing.

Quote from omnimorphism

Okay, then...

Btw, empty 90s Rnb Bad Boy is great.

"Bad Boy" is not great. Hell, it's not even good. I'm not impressed with artificiality.

Sorry, but it won't trigger me.

Whether it will trigger you or not is not my problem.

Quote from Artemosia

Imagine coming for Red Velvet's discography lmao

Did you read?

Quote from superyeah

Why do you think it's "artificiality"?

I see it as an equivalent of BTS with "Dynamite," it's a rehash that didn't work. It was all too superficial. Like they were play-acting. Granted, the song itself is way more tolerable than "Dynamite".

Quote from Artemosia

I did, and Russian Roulette, Rookie and Bad boy bops only

Then you would've known I was hailing the first two tracks you mentioned.

Quote from Valenttinna

Russian Roulette is a bop but Rookie is just bad

"Rookie" has got more lasting melodies in it than the last three BlackPink title tracks combined.

Quote from superyeah

I don't see it that way. I thought "Bad Boy" was refreshing. K-pop needed something like that at the start of 2018. You're entitled to your opinion, though.

I didn't like "Dynamite" much at first, but I became tolerant of it. It has its place in BTS's discography. I like it for what it is.

Then what is it? A song to sell themselves out to America.
