the real question is why do I see blinks getting quoted talking about Twice more often than their own stans  

I've warmed up to HARD but the album is not it I fear  

 

Don't Call Me / Atlantis repackage are just too good

Yeah this new album is not hitting as it should. There are some good songs in there but yeah.

Idk y'all I like Hard way better than DCM/Atlantis. The previous one felt like a random collection of midtempos and some of the uptempo bops like Code and I Really Want You felt very cheaply produced to me. The whole thing besides the title track felt like a very watered-down side of SHINee. Hard as a whole feels much more dynamic which is what I like about them.

I like Hard better than DCM as an album. Identity, Sweet Misery, and The Feeling have grown on me the most. Hard as a song is still pretty bad and arguably thier worst title track since Why so Serious

Can we stop this misogynistic discourse in 2023? You can call out bad behaviours and wrong things without generalization, especially since girlgroup/popgirl stans do awful **** too. And I don't even wanna start with male fandoms outside the entertainment industry, like sports for example.

 

I know that was probably not your intention but I say "misogynistic" because historically everything women (especially teenage girls) like gets rediculed and their behaviour labeled as animalistic/hysteric. Yes, there is a point to be made that female fandoms can also be misogynistic towards other women but that's a problem in women in general not just fandoms and that doesn't really excuse that female-dominated fandoms get flak for things male-dominated fandoms also do but don't get generalized as bad people.

Girl calm the **** down idek boy group fandoms are mostly women followed makes sense? Idk idec, and if I have to bet my coins I would bet most hard core gay porn in Twitter are male stans that are doing that ****, and yeah I'm aware most fandoms are awful I have seen exposes of group chats of blinks and onces being misogynistic, ableists, racists, misandric and postin Gore and porn so yeah I'm very much aware

Cuz it's they vendetta and fate Twitter is full of that ****, what I don't understand is the reason why Mel and company always bring all Twitter the drama to ATRL when we don't even talk about that nor we make those things

You know what, I actually agree with this but I don't think either of them is bad. Their other songs are just better. Excellent discography, industry legends, etc. 

The title track we TRULY need to forget is this abomination. I think it's so funny that the group hates it almost as much as the fans

I completely agree with you btw, which is why you will never see me claim that a Big 4 group will ever have a “rags to riches” story as well.
 

What I was trying to say is that Fifty Fifty had a good team backing them up (Warner Music), which is why it can’t really be called a rags to riches story, especially if a company uses $6M on TikTok alone. Again none of the Big 4 groups who have bigger resources could achieve this feat either, so there’s definitely some organic success with Fifty Fifty. But it’s still not a “rags to riches” story.
 

Giselle is more musically talented than anyone from NJ, lets not. She can rap and sing very well. However, she might fall behind in dancing compared to NJ, but then again it’s not like any of the NJ members are exceptional dancers either? Maybe Hanni is? Idk

 

They are literally filling lawsuits right now and you still say warner back them up. They got investment after they got viral. they got an opportunity so they make the most of it. They didnt invest nor have that money at the beginning nor that the reason cupid went viral. Bts didnt become bts today because of some awards shows, that was hundreds of millions $ of media play, promotion. Skz didnt sell 5m albums because they went viral here and there. Jyp spent ridiculous amount to promote them. Viral is by chance but success is not. It takes a lot to become big. $6m is pocket change to big 4. iland alone cost $10m to make.  

 

I thought they were done promoting last week, but here we are

 

the door has lights on it this time, rich

Some form of insanity is involved, yes.

 

Okay, but who got their Aespa albums this week? It’ll be interesting to see how badly the late U.S. release affects them in the U.S.

 

Savage - #20 / 17,500 pure sales

Girls - #3 / 56,000 units / 53,000 pure sales

My World - ?

I don't have hopes in My World to overpass Girls so maybe 40-45k #4

It wasn’t usd , it was 6 million won. So like 5k. It’s basically like company using ads to increase views etc. 

An itzy and Rv stan??? We need to find her account! I bet she was shading aespa on her free time

@FACT You were right, she needs to debut 

 

 

Most of them can’t sing, it’s such a shame. The older girls have like literally no personality and no charm. People are literally voting for that mixed girl Chantelle because she used to be on Stan twitter and she reminds me a lot of Kyle from Pristin and she looks boring too.

Yeah, the “poster version” is a mess. It’s literally just a poster with a CD inside. I just opened mine and I can see that pushing away purchases

Honestly I think its smart. SM is trying to push a little bit to being less environmental terrorists by doing that. I like it.

I remember saying to @youresotoxic at the time, that the Poster ver. sounded like a mess, it's just a giant folded sheet, idk why SM thought it was a good idea. I didn't order that version personally.

 

The rest of the versions slay though and we can't complain too much after the Girls packaging, which was very plain.

 

The MY WORLD versions are amazing, so I don't see sales being driven away, maybe people might not purchase the Poster ver. as much though.
