Dark Concepts or Bright Concepts?

You know I’m a light kind of girl

This is such a hard question to answer for me personally. I love both concepts, if executed right. It depends on a lot of factors for me.

For example, SHINee is a group I love both concepts for since they can execute it well, same for BTS and TXT.

Groups like Dreamcatcher I wouldn't like a bright concept, and for SNSD I wouldn't like a Dark Concept. It's such a hard thing to explain, so I hope someone understands what I'm trying to say in this mess of a post

Brighter concepts. Makes me feel happier.

my soul is dark

so dark it is

Bright

if the song is good doesn't matter either way...

Dark for every groups but EXO

Quote from MissBehave

You prefer bright concepts for EXO? So, not Monster then? What are your fave EXO concepts?

My fav EXO songs and concepts are

LMR

CMB

Tempo

L1

Power

Kokobop

Electric kiss

DFTF

in order

So yeah light concept EXO is really superior!

i’m a bg stan so bright concepts are always appreciated in my household because of how much of a rarity they’ve unfortunately become. this probably why i like txt. the do a bit of both but mostly their concept stays in the neutral territory. the song is always sad and emo but the music videos are completely opposite lol.

with darker concepts, i only like them if they’re executed well. like if you hit me with shirtless boys wearing tight leather jeans and grabbing their crotches i’ll probably head out and not look back. ever. that’s just cringe to me sorry

but perfectly executed dark concepts are EVERYTHING

fake love is the sh*t even three years later. perfectly executed and a cultural reset with how it literally set the trends with their style.

I like it dark

I like both but tend to prefer variety most.

If a group does the same thing over and over l eventually suffer concept fatigue.

It highly depends on the song. I usually prefer dark or sad concepts though.

If I had to answer without thinking, i'd say bright

BUT Bright/dark is such a black and white view for concepts. I can enjoy both when done tastefully.

For the "dark" ones, I'm mostly interested when it's emotionally charged or when the instrumentals are interesting.

It's easier for brighter concepts, especially with girl groups, to get me but I like when it's funky, when the choruses are well done.

To add, I can like comebacks that really are "dark concepts" but they have to commit to it, to their theme.

Pentagon's Dr Bebe is a fitting example:
