Reasons For Picking A Badge To Buy

Hello, I am curious about this. When choosing which badge to buy, do you choose based off of who you stan, whose music you like, price, what looks good or what best matches your current aesthetic? Some combination of those reasons? I am interested to know. For me, personally, I choose based on whose music I enjoy since I don't stan a lot of people yet and don't want to limit my options too much, but I will also only buy something if it looks pretty. I don't care if it matches my aesthetic or not since I can always change that easily if the badges are cute enough for it to be worth it. I do consider price, but if the badge is cute enough, it's not an absolute dealbreaker for me. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, what about you guys? Have a great day/night!

Reason 1: It's Twice

Reason 2: It's pretty

Reason 4: It's well made

All fexcellent reasons.

If it moves and I stan, I buy.

*Side eyes your nonmoving Beatles badge heavily*

Quote from lialve

if I stan or in rare cases if it's pretty but I have to be a casual listener in that case (that's why I have IU and red velvet color badges). Later on I might buy a badge of a group I don't stan if I liked that era but it's less likely

Ah, I see, that makes sense. Those are good reasons to buy a badge.

I only buy for groups that I stan, i don't mind paying for petitions and helping others get their dream badges, but i personally only want the groups that i'm really into and stan the most. Like ateez, up10tion, luminous, maybe once all the ones i really want are done i'll work on other groups that i listen to.

I respect that. I support nearly every petition and help fund them, so I get that, but I almost never buy the badges I help petition for, I just want other people to get badges they love because it's a nice thing to do. That sounds like a good plan.

Quote from omnimorphism

That one was free

But I did pay a price for it

I figured. I'm guessing you got it for being Threadmaker of the Month for December. Congratulations on that by the way.

Quote from TheLadybug

i'm too broke for regular badges so i'll only pour out my akorns for bp

other than that, i just get colour badges whenever i need to match a certain sig/dp aesthetic

That sounds like a good plan. Let me know if you ever need/want more akorns for badges.

Quote from quarkie

I buy badges of my ults first and foremost. My first badges purchases were my biases in all the groups I stanned even if I didn't totally love their badges. Once I have those, I move on to other members of my ults that I love (the bias wreckers) and then I'll move on to idols who I like even if I don't consider myself a stan of that group. Once I get those then I'll fill in with members of my favorite groups if I like their badges.

For Limited Badges I keep it groups/artists I stan. That sometimes has me regretting missing out on some badges (like some of the aespa ones, the Seulgi Queendom badge, and the Maverick badge because I did come around to loving the hell out of that song.)

Color badges I tend to buy as needed if I plan to try an aesthetic look.

This seems like a very smart badge buying strategy and I'm glad you found something that works out for you.

Quote from TheLadybug

thank you for the offer !! <333

but it's alright spend ur akorns on urself

i'll come begging if there's ever a limited edition bp badge lmfoamof

I'm actually saving them up for my guild so people can buy new Stray Kids Limited Edition badges when they come out.

Quote from zuzuhhaa

my order of priority!

1) ults

2) stan

3) casual listener

4) pretty/matches aesthetic

with LEs its the same except its mostly just my ults and/or if they look pretty.

That's a pretty sound priority list. I approve!

Quote from alexS

I usually only buy moving badges, if its Twice then it's a must, same with Dreamcatcher and other GG that I like.

Recently we've been getting drama badges as well, and I love those.

Ibby is doing an amazing job

That’s awesome, the TWICE moving badges always look great! Have a great day/night!

Quote from Violanah

I only buy badges of groups,artists and dramas that I like

Smart! This way it’ll seem worth it.

Quote from MY-Kwangya

I onlyn bought badges of Aespa and BTS as they are my main bias groups and the ones I listen to the most. I figure no point in buying badges of groups I either don't know or am a fan of.

I can respect that. Your badges always look so cool!

Quote from centen

I know I don't have a ton of badges now, but my general thought in what to buy is:

-- Preference toward groups or dramas that I really love

-- Preference toward badges that are aesthetically pleasing; even if I love the group, if the winning badges were not to my taste, I wouldn't purchase

-- Preference toward badges that match the overall aesthetic vibe I'm going for. Less important since you can swap in and out different badges

I also don’t have a lot of badges yet. I am the same way on the middle point. I love Stray Kids, but not any of their badges, so I don’t buy them. Instead, I bought the Somi badge because it’s cute and I like her music. Have a great day/night!

Quote from MissBehave

I only have badges from my faves and have even had to be selective with those cuz akorns don't grow on trees!

I hate to break it to you, but, uhhhhh...they kind of do...

Quote from Rainbowpop2

YouChanDoThis what about the limited badge events? Or is this just talking about themed KPOP badges?

I would personally also add that I buy some badges that I usually never use for no reason except to support them lolz

I meant badges in general, sorry about the confusion. That’s so sweet of you to do! Have a great day/night!
