The doom posting has got to stop
From BTS to Aespa to Illit and even Baemon...
Why are people genuinely so miserable? Just because YOU don't like something doesn't mean it's a flop or it's objectively bad.
I remember when BTS ARIRANG dropped and everyone was flaming it for being awful, meanwhile the songs performed well on charts and fans genuinely enjoyed it. Even me as a casual follower really liked it, but people online were busy posting think pieces of how they were ruining kpop.
There was similar discourse around Illit and Babymonster as well. I loved It's Me, only to see people online bashing it and calling it "skibidi toilet" music. I've also seen so much vitriol towards Babymonster's Choom for no reason.
Aespa just dropped their pre-release and people are doing the same thing. There's people out here literally writing epistles on why they hate it instead of just ignoring it like a normal person. Meanwhile, the song sounds great to me and is already climbing charts.
Like if you don't enjoy something, just don't listen? Why go out of your way to be a hater?
It's genuinely such weird behaviour and it's getting so prevalent here on Reddit too. We're slowly turning into X/Twitter.
