So now that ifans can't drag Aespa for their live singing or for their performances being suck or being lipsynced, now this has become the new thing to drag Aespa with?
I guess what was said in other threads is true, haters and stans of other groups will always find another thing to weaponise and another excuse to shade Aespa with.
In many parts of the word Coachella never makes any noise because very few people know it and even less care about it.
They were good, but you could see the issues they need to work on, only natural as a new (and pandemic) group. Winter had a tendency to look like she lost interest as soon as her part ended, like well that's me done. And saying their vocals got shaky because of the live performance - they were on stage for about 12 minutes. They need to work on their stamina because if they'd had a stage to themselves they would have had to perform for much longer.
But certain fandoms retweeting that pic of people wandering past the main stage are being dumb. Sahara stage has a better aesthetic because it's an enclosed tent. At the back of the open main stage crowd you will have people walking from one area to another.
My point is when on earth did Coachella correlate with international noise for this to be a discussion point? It's a US music festival. If it's getting international attention it's kpop fans tweeting and hyping it and fans try to pass it off as something it's not.
Coachella is not some worldwide event that international noise is any kind of barometer. 99.9% of people outside of the US probably don't even know who headlined yet alone acts that play for 20/30 odd minutes. Scratch that, 99.9% of people probably don't even know what Coachella is, yet you're out here defending Aespa from not making international noise as if that is even a thing you get from Coachella.
No shit though, they were the first popular kpop group and that's what most of the media articles were about after the performance. A popular kpop group has performed for the first time at Coahcella and they were also about to start their US tour so naturally the company would want it out there as much as possible. BTS were already huge so the buzzword "kpop" already carried a lot of weight in terms of getting clicks and attention.
Seeing people act like it was making lots of noise outside of the kpop circle make no sense. If anything, it feels like revisionist history by people that properly weren't even following kpop at the time. It was the most "talked about" online at the time because it was BP, good or bad they would have been talked about the most. Fans incorrectly conflate things such as this to something it isn't.
On what evidence did BP make noise internationally outside the kpop sphere with their performance? ant semi popular kpop groups performing will always trend worldwide and get loads of views due to the fact that they're kpop and the fans tweet and stream like hell
Fans using twitter and random comments on youtube as evidence of a group or performance going viral, or "locals loving them" is one of the dumbest things around. You just know there are a bunch of kpop fans that disguise themselves as "locals" to try and get more attention to their biases and it has definitely been called out before.
Tbf, this is true in blackpink's case as well. Maybe, it feels like bp had more hype at that time because they have a bigger fandom in general and had way more years in their career when they performed in Coachella? Besides, the crowd this year is shitty and pretty dead overall. Most of people there are either high or drunk to care for anything. Coachella tanked this year and the event overall made no noise besides from fandom space of other artists. Maybe it's the effect of pandemic? Idk.
Not a fan of both groups and merely just an observer from outside.
let's be clear here. Mys were mostly just being super excited and hyped for aespa and also worried because we know the hate they will get. We are happy after the performance and now move on to their comeback. The ones who take this too seriously is non fans. They're the one who exaggerating this like a life or death situation.
