This is a silly question. Or it's silly that it's even a debate. Of course they are. Anyone who creates art is an artist. Just because someone doesn't like an artist, doesn't make them not an artist.

People have created some asinine criteria for the sole purpose of insulting people. The most common is that they have to be involved in the songwriting/choreography/etc. That's ridiculous. 99% of performers aren't involved with the creation of what they perform on paper, that's why composers/choreographers/writers exist, and it doesn't make them any less an artist. Nobody would ever say any classical performer isn't an artist, but for some reason pop musicians are held to a higher standard?

Between BTS and EXO, if I were to judge based on their releases up to 2017 or so, BTS would've won, but including everything both groups released since then, EXO wins.

I only listen to a few Big Bang songs semi-regularly.

I haven't listened to all of SNSD's b-sides, but I do like quite a few.

Between Red Velvet and aespa, I could say either. There are a larger number of Red Velvet songs I enjoy, but percentage-wise probably favors aespa.

I have a varying degree positive and negative feelings about all of them, so it's hard to pick, but I picked Igloo. The chorus is catchy, but it's not my vibe.

I was originally thinking Cherish because it was the least offensive, but it also didn't make me feel much positively either, and given the choice I'll always prefer polarizing art than art that makes me feel nothing

Drip was probably the most interesting to me and had the most potential, but there was something awkward about the execution and delivery. Not to mention, as a vocalist and human concerned with the health of children of the world, the high note sympathetically hurt my vocal chords, my eardrums, and my soul, and no amount of reverb/processing could save it.

I don't particularly love either. Whiplash isn't something I'll listen to regularly, but it did grow on me, and whi-whiplash keeps popping into my head once in a while, so I voted for that.

As for the other one, well this is the first time I've been able to listen to Crazy the entire way through--in order to give it a "fair" shot before I voted--without having to stop it from so much cringing, so I'd call that a win. The song itself would be fine, but man, the lyrics and the delivery of them, I just cannot stand.

I actually consider Supernova more akin to Zimzalabim

I dunno why this is surprising or unique to Korea. Feels like we're just disconnected culturally. Here in the West or I'll speak for the US, at least, we have just as "weird" obsessions, but it just feels more "normal" to us. Like our own obsession with jawline, everyone and their mother getting filler for their lips and cheekbones, and doing buccal fat removal. Anyone around for the "thigh gap" trend a while back? And def don't look up the blackpill community if this weirds you out. This is just a taste:

Witness true insanity. I feel bad for these people.

Hard to pick but maybe either Fact Check or WALK from 127

But Universe and WayV's Awaken The World is also up there

Sculpture?

I chose Armageddon, since everyone is trying to forget Hot Mess ever existed, even though it's my personal favorite.

A lot of my favorite Kpop songs have great rap verses, and it can add a lot, but I agree with lidora, in that I wish it wasn't obligatory. Some songs don't need rap, and just feels thrown in just because. And some groups have a rap line where I would prefer if they just sang. A lot of them are even better singers than rappers.

Quote from Yseki

Increase the minimum wage, increase corporate taxes, increase capital gains tax so shareholders have to pay the same taxes as workers, replace private health insurance with a government option, expand social security, taxpayer funded public college tuition, organizing workplaces, price controls, public work programs for the unemployed, rent caps, and build lots of public housing for the unhoused etc.

Pretty much all hugely popular policies btw. It would be so easy for them to run on a platform of progressive populism, but they simply refuse because it goes against their own interests of capital accumulation for the elite.

PLACEHOLDER kinda slaps.

They don't want Kamala to win, that why they are on the ballot. That's not unheard of, in fact, it's the opposite.

Also, even if we combine Kamala and jill's votes, results stay the same

If people didn't vote for Jill Stein they wouldn't vote for Kamala. There is no proof that they would.

Exactly. Kamala did nothing to earn my vote. I guess except not be Trump. Not exactly a candidate to get excited about. That only worked the first time with Biden. Not that it mattered for me anyway since I live in California.

I know the votes are still being counted, but as of now RFK had more votes than Jill Stein in California, and somehow she's to blame? Embarassing.

Quote from SandyBee3

I read a lot that inflation was a big problem. U would want to vote for Democratic Party, but you also want to be able to feed your family.

Democrats did a really bad job addressing the issue the majority of people are facing, not enough money…

She should've gone way harder on worker's rights, specifically reached out more to the men in labor unions, not that they didn't try, but needed a different approach. They probably thought that the women's vote would carry them to victory, but we see how white women voted at the end of the day.

Quote from YamaChwan

Big Bang has a way bigger legacy in K-Pop than BLACKPINK

To be fair you didn't ask for legacy, you just said bigger, and Blackpink objectively has more fans. Still voted for Big Bang though because I knew what you meant.
