How many bad comebacks in a row would it take for you to drop your faves?

infinity comebacks... I would still listen to their past music and watch their appearances on shows or similar things. and songs often grow on me - if they don't I just accept that I didn't like it and move on. I love my faves and will still support them no matter what.

3-5 ones I don't like. But I can be pleased easily

One.

Depends on how well established they are. Dreamcatcher, Monsta X, BP I would never drop. But since Purple Kiss is new, maybe 2 comebacks? I love the members so much though

I'd give 3 consecutive chances and if at 4th they manage to give a shitty title track again I would drop.

With Monsta X, I disliked Alligator, Follow and (kinda) Fantasia, so 3 consecutively (at least they had great bsides to compensate). I was already less enthusiastic about new content because I thought MX lost their passion but then they delivered Love Killa and I fell in love again and Gambler was even better. It was worth not giving up on them.

I don't know... I feel like I would always take an interest in their next come back.

I guess I would totally unstan if I become really bitter, and constantly hating on the new songs. At some point I'll take a step back : 'alright buddy, maybe this is just not for you anymore, move along'.

As much as my heart can take

If I was a very early fan experiencing then as a new group then if there was a string of maybe 2 or 3 CBs I didn't like then I might move on

However after becoming a fan relatively quickly and being a huge fan still to this day its pretty much impossible for me to to drop them if they start releasing bad music (though it's more of question if they ever well release music lol)

It took 3 for me to unstan bts...so 3

Maybe 3 but it depends on other songs on the albums too. It's not like I only stan for title tracks.

depends on the group, but I think it's usually 2. I kinda became a casual stan for G-idle & Red Velvet after being disappointed with 2 comebacks in a row. But I'm surprised I have a lot of patience when it comes to BTS. I remember being disappointed with their CBs, 4 times in a row. Hopefully, I loved Butter & PTD.

I'd say 3 but I don't know that sounds like a lot

In Super Junior's case they basically make 1 comeback a year or less so that would be more than 3 years lol, I genuinely think I'd unstan if they spent 3 years releasing bad music (thankfully that's unrealistic, they're in charge of their own musical sound and I stanned them long enough to trust that even if they pick a questionable title track they'll still definitely have many great bsides)

It's different with NCT because they have several units and would definitely have at least 3 comebacks a year, I think it's also unrealistic for all units to simultaneously release bad music 3 or more times in a row.

I would just get disinterested(and stop buying albums because I don't want the company to take it the wrong way) but I would always check their next comeback, thinking maybe I'll like it

I don't really know.

I've yet to drop a group completely tbh. That isn't to say that I don't lose interest after 2-3 "bad" comebacks in a row, but my love for the artist can be just as easily reignited.

I don't think I've ever gone from "omg I love this group!" to "I hate them!!".

Right now I'm not really checking BTS content for example and I didn't even hate any of their comebacks... (OK, I did hate Permission to Dance).

It happens. It's not the first time and I'm optimistic that my feelings will change again with one of their next efforts.

There's one group i kinda lost interest after three comebacks. So maybe three. They're not bad. Just wasn't interesting enough for me to listen on repeat.

None.

Comebacks are usually accompanied by the release of an album. Even if the title track might not be the best, there would always be new b-sides on the album that I'd like.

So none.

One.

If they release an entire album I don’t like or worse I am indifferent to I’ll drop them.

Which is why I stan exo. There has never been a case where you can dislike an entire album by EXO.

2 maximum - I am a fan of artists primarily for their music and nothing else. If I personally don't like the music - I'm out!

I would probably still maintain enough interest to at least check out new title tracks in the first month of release

2 or 3

3.

To me no one really unstans a group. You will still listen I their past releases and enjoy their music/memories. You only end up being less interested.

2020 was a bad year for Twice for me. I didn't unstan them but became less interested in them as I don't keep with their variety shows, etc. However I still like them enough to consider myself a fan. Thank god they released Alcohol Free his year as it was a year since a liked a title track from them.

My faves are my faves I dont think I would drop them.

where that Kai laugh from?

One of my faves, i dont even particularly like their title tracks (I havent really liked a single Izone title release). But they have great cutesy B sides and it's their chemistry with each other that has made me stan them.

i like to say that you can be a fan of the artist, the music or both

i stan seventeen for music and personality, whereas i stan korean based nct units only for personality and big bang only for music

this is my personal view so with this mindset - bad comebacks doesn't make a difference as long as i vibe with their personalities and vibe

3 or a year.

I didn't like any of the albums GFriend put out in 2020, so I moved on from them

Cherry Bullet's sound has been messed up since Jimin left FNC. This next come back (whenever that is bc of G999) will decide

They're allowed one mulligan

Maybe 3? I don't stan any groups but BTS, but I follow a few. if there's several meh comebacks in a row or fewer b-sides i'm hype about, then i'll gradually lose interest in following them (Mamamoo, BB, SVT, MX, Winner) but then they can always get me back with good songs again (Twice)

Meanwhile, for BTS, as long as at least their solos good i'll keep following. They're really really testing my patience this year musically but RM's solo works have been good so...

I’ve already ditched SuJu now as the last few songs just haven’t appealed to me. I feel their music has declined over the years and I don’t pay any attention to them anymore. I had been a fan since 2011 so have given them a fair go.

I have basically unstanned EXO. But im still a casual, because i will check out their future comebacks.

I guess it takes me about 3 to 4 comebacks for me to unstan, as I kept on giving them chances, due to liking the members and most Bsides. The downward spiral of title tracks started from kokobop (with the exception of universe), until I dropped them recently. So...about 3 to 4 years of chances, based on calculation.

where that Kai laugh from?

It’s from this

It all depends on what's on the album. If there is at least 1 song, I'll get that. If it's an artist or group who only had decent title tracks and those start to get weak too, 2-3 strikes with increasing levels of disappointment. If a group can do better, but they aren't meeting their potential, eventually I'm going to start roasting them.

4 in a row. i know you might say "oh but the personalities, oh but this that" but in the end of the day i came for music, if the music is ass to me why should i continue liking themusic? ill never hate the members and ill still watch their content time to time, but if there aint no more tracks that suit my taste whats the point?

it doesnt matter cause im open minded to most songs. the only type of songs that are hit or miss for me are girl crush/badass which most of the groups i stan dont do it.

I'm in the same boat. My time and my ears are precious and I have no time for flops

.... when I can flop on my own

2 to 3 for me and considering that's usually over 1-2 years I think that's more than enough
