Approved the thread. -
they initially became popular for their music, but nowadays a large percentage of their fandom are success stans who don't care what they release
And if you ask someone who isn't a kpop fan what they know about BTS, they most likely will say that they're that popular kpop group with the crazy fandom, not anything about their music, personalities, or talent.

why would someone that isn't a kpop fan or is not interested in kpop at all know everything about their music, personalities or talent? It's not the drag you think it is

Implies 2 things,
1. People who are not into music, or into kpop music, or into BTS' music - still would be aware of them, across fields/countries etc.
2. People who actually aren't into their music, still would like to pretend to be part of their fandom for socio-psychological needs, name dropping/success stanning etc.
Both actually reflect well on the artists. That they have become an undeniable brand, above and beyond their 'product' i.e. music in this case.

Your saltiness made your comment useless.

I live in the us and it used to be like that here. People would learn abt them before herring abt their songs because they were really making waves for a Korean artist
But now after dynamite a LOT and I mean A LOT more people listen to their music now. Even their Korean stuff. I’m a high schooler and school opened up this year I couldn’t believe how many ppl knew them and their songs, and I’m not talking army’s just casual fans. They are really well known and ppl even meme abt them. , the McDonald’s meal was a whole damn meme at our school bc so many ppl wanted it, especially with little kids too.
My choir teacher put on dynamite and asked us to name the songs and artist, everyone said bts. Some girl went on a rant abt how the “old” dynamite was better (Katy perrys) and two girls were fighting over who was better jimin or rm lmao

It’s delusional to say armys don’t care about BTS music. That is the last thing that can be said about them.

it is kinda like Gangman style
but instead of having an extra catchy song you have a boy band (yeah, that is all the hype)
you heard about the song, is not a song you would put on your playlist, but it has so much hype arround you that you go and listen to it or watch the mv to know why is everyone talking about it.
Gangman style at least is so funny to watch. And grown Men would not feel ashamed of watching it, that would drawn many more people than other groups. Not that there is any shamefull thing on the MV, but is is directed to girls...you know, my brother would skip that very fast.
and i think i can say it here on anons, fan girls and their smallpox behaviour. If some group is catchy for whatever reason, you go an tell you best girlfriend and you will stan together, and so go on and on.
Also many other groups kpop or not kpop (example: One direction, Exo), you could see the cracks on the group soon after the stardom kick them big. NOt with BTS, they grew stronger on the fans point of view. That gave them the chance to grow when they should have started to slow down on their career. So basically hard work.
