Is BTS fake?

Quote from godkingteshub

It seems they started their career with an edgy, hardcore rap concept. They had a “fuck the mainstream” message.

Because they were young and were at the rebellious stage That period their songs reflected whatever struggles they were facing at that point: the school system, school life etc. They really didn’t have a fuck the mainstream message.

Quote from godkingteshub

Then they shifted to self-introspection (personal life struggle rather than social struggle) and because that made them popular they stuck with it until they became really big worldwide.

Well obviously if you get antis bullying you on social media, your peers looking down on you, kmedia branding you with plagiarism and getting shut out off award shows, who can mentally keep stable under these conditions.

I’m happy they used music as a way to let go off some of the depression and anger they faced back then as Suga said in their Indian interview

Quote from godkingteshub

Post-Billboard era they tried doing that artistic shit, ie. thing they did with the ballerinas. But obviously they learned from Western music producers they have to change their style to fit American music tastes, in their capacity to do them. They wouldn’t be able to compete with a rap heavy crowd so they did the sappy, high pitch “my life is rainbows” > IDOL > Dynamite > Butter > Permission to Dance. With their B sides as a recapping of their previous song styles.

Whoever the “real” BTS were they are most likely found somewhere in the early years.

Black swan was one of the best songs released in 2020. No kpop act has ever released such a song and the orchestra version was chef’s kiss. Can’t believe you wanted to drag black swan, makes your whole point invalid

BTS released 3english songs: boohoo they have sold themselves for western validation and success. When was English ever a recipe for success in their books

Need to remind peeps here that BTS ere selling out stadiums in the US before they ever got their first billboard number 1 They were already successful in the western market and no one can downplay that. True organic artiste

sorry but have you read ugh’s lyrics or....??

clearly not, the song isn't even about their haters specifically

Quote from RJTATA

obviously bts is going to change their music styles. if they stuck with just one style then it’s bound to get boring. plus DUH they are gonna make songs that appeal to the western market cause they are getting bigger in that area.

and as you can see it’s been VERY successful so they’re doing fine.

Seriously, compare the first and last albums by the Beatles and they sound completely different. Does that mean the Beatles were fake too?

esi and but have you read ugh’s lyrics or....??

yeah. Maybe I'm reading it the wrong way but I'm kind of tired of diss track type of songs anyway.

BTS' music changed because they matured and grew up. Some of their listeners did not and are still stuck in the past.

Quote from RJTATA

hmmmmmm im not sure if i can trust that. cause ugh! isn't even that type of song. it's about unnecessary anger here go re read the lyrics again for better understanding :)

Ugh is not even a diss track!!! If only they check the lyrics, the song is meaningful!!! AKP can learn a thing or two!

I sort of forget what the meaning was. But I get it now.

Louder please!!!

you got those flops good with this one congratulationsIMG_20210725_204548.jpg

So it's illegal to change your music style as you grow up? That's the real fake thing here.

They sure ARE targeting the western world. Them experimenting is a very brave act to be honest.

As a fan though I'm more into BTS 2013 - 2020 ? Butter and Permission to dance are just a bit ... mainstream for me ? I have mixed feelings about it just like Ice cream of Blackpink . That's why I'm mostly listening to "old" releases rn.

not at all

i really think they like money and fame THAT MUCH
