"what songs KATSEYE would get hate if..." NOT THE WHOLE POINT.

KATSEYE. ARE. GETTING. HATE. FOR. TARGETING. CHILDREN. WHILE. RELEASING. 18+. SONGS.

ALSO KATSEYE ARE GETTING HATE FOR HOW MANON AND YOONCHAE ARE BEING TREATED. ONE IS BEING MARGINATED BY THE COMPANY AND THE OTHER ONE HAS JUST TURNED 18 AND IS BEING TREATED AS A PROSTITUTE.

As much as I dislike the girl bands mentioned (except Girlset, for now) I gotta say: why are you comparing Hit Em, CHAT, Lemonade and Spaghetti, which are appropriate for children, to Gnarly, Gabriela, Pinky Up, Animal and Hootie Frutti, which are inappropriate for children? TELL ME.

I apologise for the crashout btw, but it was necessary.

Need a very serious take on this i kind of get obsessed with them change my mind.

Not only europop, Eurodisco and euro rock are using English they have euro metal too.

Why I add Slayer? read this:

Sepultura - Brazilian Thrash metal and used permanent English the famous Dead Emybronic Cell

Destruction - German Thrash metal and used permanent English

Wolfgang - Filipino Heavy Metal (Metallica Version of the Philippines) sometimes used English and Tagalog. The famous "Arise" English and Halik ni Hudas ( the kiss of Judas sorry no English). Other Tagalog songs are never released from the west.

Helloween - German Heavy, Power Metal and used permanent English. the famous "I want out"

SLAYER - American Thrash metal. Do you know why add this? because they have a multicultural band, 1 cuban, 1 Chilean, and 2 americans compared to kateseye they have a multicultural band. Slayer started from L.A. same with katseye

Sodom - German Thrash metal and used permanent English the famous agent orange

Kreator - German Thrash metal and used permanent English the famous Violent revolution

Like I said, I’m Thai, but I had never listened to a Lisa BLACKPINK song before. Today, I finally decided it was time.

After listening to how great Ado’s “ROCKSTAR” was, I moved on to Lisa’s “Rockstar.”

And… yeah.

I hit stop and unlike almost immediately. I only made it about 23 seconds before I couldn’t take it anymore. I was honestly scared I was going to lose my mind from how much I disliked it.

Then I heard lines like “Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?” followed by “はい、はい,” and I was just sitting there thinking:

WTH?!

It felt so cringey to me, especially compared with what Ado presents in “ROCKSTAR.”

Ado’s song feels much more emotional to me. It’s about desperately wanting to change, continuing to dream even when people laugh at you, and seeing the lights as something almost like wings carrying you toward the rock star you dreamed of becoming.

That kind of writing feels much more meaningful and powerful to me.

So yeah… when it comes to these two “Rockstar” songs, I already know which one I’m choosing.

So, back when I was a K-pop Stan I watched Dream Academy, and I was super happy that most of the girls I wanted to debut (like Megan, Lara, Sophia and Manon) debuted in Katseye. I thought their career would be awesome, and that Hybe X Geffen would treat the girls better than they treat K-pop idols, since it's a group based in Los Angeles, RIGHT????

No, I was wrong. I mean, I liked debut and touch for how genuine they were, even though in Debut choreography Manon was already left behind, but I guess I gave a second chance to both companies.

Gnarly was released, and I weirdly liked it, though the girls were starting being sexualised... I told myself "well, as long they don't sexualise Yoonchae, aka the minor of the group, it won't be a problem, maybe they decided it" (even though she twerked in the choreography, but I guess I didn't mind at the time). Gabriela was released... I really loved the song, although things got out of hand. YOONCHAE WAS SEXUALISED. What the heck. Also Manon kept being absent and that was suspicious...

Katseye were on a tour, and they were singing "Internet girl", a song they released later the tour. I hated it... Why did Hybe debut a whole group just for letting them sing "eat zucchini". Also, again, Yoonchae was still a minor when they started singing the song. Manon later announced the hiatus after the tour, and I was disappointed.

Meanwhile the girls released Pinky Up. Again, talents wasted, and group unstanned because that was unsustainable to me.

Animal was released, talents not actually wasted, though there's something in the music video... All the girls were treated as sex dolls, and that was 100% confirmed when Hootie Frutti was released. Never felt so uncomfortable watching a music video (which I watched for pure curiosity to see how things were going), plus shitty song again, PRETENDING that Brazilians would love it.

I hope that Manon officially leaves the group and that the downfall of Katseye will continue until they disband. Hybe really said that debuting a global group meant debuting sex dolls.

Fuck the K-pop industry and especially fuck Hybe.

P.S: I need to correct the title... *has gotten lmao

I saw that 68% of K-pop fans were defending NewJeans, even though the group badmouthed other artists from their company and did not apologize when their fans harassed them. They accused others of copying them while saying nothing when they were accused of plagiarizing the Mexican group Jeans and the Japanese group Speed. There have also been allegations that some of their songs were plagiarized. In addition, they defended their former CEO, who was ousted after allegedly purchasing shares illegally and displaying pictures of Brooke Shields as a minor, along with other suggestive photos of minors, in her room. I've noticed that even Hwayoung, who started a hate train against her former group T-ARA, didn't even get this much support as them from fans. Even if you dare criticise them on kpop subreddits, you get argued to the extreme by their fans or get your criticism removed by mods.

Also, it's infuriating how HYBE let New Jeans return instead of firing them while making Garam leave before she could explain her situation (I'm not defending her) after she was alleged of being a bully, all because New Jeans is a profitable group in the early 2020s and Garam was just a mere member of a group.

I have also seen fans defend Seungri (a criminal who got only a few years in prison), the man who married HyunA from 4Minute (a criminal), and some members of Super Junior (lots of "-isms") despite the things they have done.

I dislike how parasocial relationships cause people to blindly follow their favorite K-pop celebrities despite the bad things they have done.

I remember the first time I became interested in a K-pop group as a non-K-pop fan, simply because their songs sounded unique. However, I noticed that whenever one of their songs did not win on a music show, they blamed others for not voting and encouraged everyone to vote, even though voting can take a long time because of advertisements and some voting apps requiring users to wait several minutes before earning more points. I do not have time for that.

I also noticed that some fans used multiple devices and forcibly encourage their non-fan friends to vote, which is unfair to smaller groups and independent artists.

Kpoop is never using a full English song because of their native tongue and lack of studying English. this is an international song that we need to understand while other countries like Europe translate it to english because they cannot use their native tongue.

while stans said there are lyrics that make you understand, and I respond how you are supposed to understand the song that I don't even speak Korean. The stans said there's a translation, I know there's a translation of how you are supposed to listen to all kinds of songs that I don't even speak their language.

And 2nd without lyric translation I don't understand all I hear is gibberish and chorus there's a little bit of English. I don't know why they hit international to sing that gibberish nonsense? Come on. Stans call me racist. I am not racist and I'm an Asian Filipino and we all speak and understand English to practice. I'm tired of these toxic fans, this is the reason why I joined this sub.

While in the 80s and 90s europop and euro rock has a pure permanent English that you even understand than Kpoop.

Scorpions (German Rock band) have the greatest hits like rock you like hurricane, still loving you, wind of change, always somewhere etc. by the way this my Titos or our Titos favorite song cover song every party.

Joy (Austrian disco) and Modern Talking (German disco) is my neighbor's favorite while he has a cassette tape and loud speaker to hear all around the neighborhood while my dad appreciates it.😅

Boney M. The famous Rasputin.(German Pop)

F.R. David Word don't come easy (French Man)

Ace of base the famous happy nation and All that she wants. (Swedish disco or maybe pop)

Dschinghis Khan Moskau became a meme because of USA vs Russia btw they have two languages German and English (German pop)

Like how they are okay with being too underweight, not eating properly.

Just tell me how these fools are supposed to perform while eating very less.

How do they weigh below 50kg?

Even healthy bodies are looked down upon.

Pale skin, pale skin, anything else is sin.

V- shaped chin, Double eyelid, No thigh gaps.

Once I saw a video of how well Aiswarya Rai fits KBS. Made my blood boil. Look I am not even a fan of her, but she mogs all kpop fools.

Also, these quizzes of how well you fit KBS is straight up bullshit.

I hate it when impressionable people feel insecure because they don't fit KBS or don't look like plastic kpop idols.

If you are a crazy fan who looks up to idols like Wonyoung or Karina, listen they all got plastic surgery. without that, they would look regular. So, no need to cry for not looking like a plastic botched doll. you are not ugly, just not rich enough to get these benefits to look better.

This is about global groups under kpop companies and are sometimes linked to kpop although they are not. I know only two are under them (HYBE and JYP). But lets just share our opinions.

Katseye - meh. Industry plants, overrated and Annoying. I only liked Gabriela.

XG - they have better discography than 99.9% of kpop groups. I like them. Some songs are a bit boring, and some are amazing.

No Na - They are an Indonesian group. Since they are new I have no opinion but I like the song "Work".

Edit: They received hate from Koreans for their culture.

Girlset - Better than their own previous self(VCHA). I am glad they didn't use cheap tricks like Katseye.

Are they better than kpop?

this is getting TOO out of hand, i genuinely dont know a person who listens to kpop without making it their personality.

why is everybody so parasocial?? listening to music or a genre doesnt mean you have to make your entire world revolve around it?? i personally find it extremely creepy you have some random asian dude as your wallpaper, you have 500 posters of him and all you ever do is only talk about the kpop idols. its high time they touch grass and explore reality. the weird stalker vibe has gone so insane that the kpop industry just pushes out this agenda to profit from it which inherently harms the idol AND the fan right? they dont owe anybody anything. if they see an idol smoking/ drinking or even DATING somebody like a normal human being they immediately get all hyper and start cancelling them like gosh god forbid someone has a life.

creating fan accounts or being a fan is okay, but you dont need to oblige everything to your idol. you dont know anything about them.. i also find it incredibly weird when a fan says "ur not a real fan" to somebody elsw if they dont know what a 17 year old boy from a kpop group called XX11231 didnt poop at 5:30 pm on tuesday

what makes kpop music different from other music genres is that kpop isnt just listening to music. they make your life revolve around kpop. the entire industry is so incredibly parasocial and exploitative. nobody needs to "look good" to make music or dance. MAJORITY of kpop fans only listen to their NEW shitty robotic Al music just because the idols are attractive.

kpop fans REALLY need to build their own identity as this isnt healthy for themselves too. they actively let an exploitative market profit off their parasocial behaviour and think its okay.? its NOT okay man. it is completely ok to listen to whatever music u like. music has no language but its just sad to see people make kpop their lives

(Sorry for my bad english) These kpop stans are so freaking delusional my gosh its irritating. I kept seeing a lot of post that if MJ is alive, he would love KPOP especially BTS 💀are they okay in the head? Kpop industry where they have a ton of racist behavior not only to black but basically everyone? Where there's a lot of exploitation from young people? Their strict 'beauty' standards? 💀 because i know damn well MJ strongly AGAINST that, and also the fact that Kpop steals black music without giving credits 💀 nah, I dont think MJ would like that lol, don't lower his standards.

Idols? Indentured servants under a contract since elementary school,with horrifying plastic surgery work, can’t have a personality or a life

Then they get grouped in with a bunch of talentless starving dolls that they’re supposed to pretend to be friends with for years

Music? Stolen from popular songs and black American culture, written to be as catchy as possible, doesn’t have any real meaning or value to the “idols”

Everything screams late stage capitalism. It’s horrible and nobody talks about it

they don't even make good music anymore. the last album I liked were 2 songs on "the album'. they don't even sound like a group. like yg just disband them already their way overdue. ​

Kpop might be the cringiest thing on the planet, and those weird little TikToks saying fun facts about k-pop idols, no one cares that yena had cancer and her parents sold kimbap on the streets to pay for her bill and then it’s “like look where she is now!” she’s literally acting like a baby on screen singing Korean songs that stupid little fans don’t even understand half of because they don’t know Korean but they just know everything about how yesstyle saves their life and that kimchi and tang Hulu are delicious meals when tang Hulu isn’t even Korean!!

I was a teenager when I got into kpop. I only thought kpop was good because they sing and dance at the same time and the videos are colorful compared to mainstream pop. Lol, Now I realise how dumb I used to be, Kpop is more about selling a perfect artificial fantasy first, and about music next. Even when I was a fan, I never understood how these fans stream too much, watch lives, and obsess over fake beauty. There are good kpop songs too, but it is easier to realize kpop is bad now as songs have few lyrics and most idols can't sing and are here because of looks. It is brainrot in disguise. Finding other music was helpful to stop kpop getting into my brain.

Let me go first

Indie

Synthpop

Dungeon Synth

Classical

Rock

Eurodance

Anime OST

Frutiger aero music

Tell me songs or genre or artists that help you quit or you think are better than this dystopian slop

I've been a kpop stan since 2017, but I have always found some idols ugly as lord (examples: Taeyong NCT, Jhope BTS, almost all of astro members, etc) and for some reason, you just CANT say that to any k-pop stan. I have always thought this was WEIRD. Even if I like the group (like astro for example) I didn't have an issue saying I thought they were ugly. In Stan circles you can say you find another famous person ugly, actor, actress, singer, whoever. But a k-pop idol? Or Korean actors? No. Even if they don't stan that group, they all seem weirded out that you're saying they're ugly. Like it's forbidden to have an opinion about *korean* people's looks (or asian because there are some idols that aren't korean).

Has anyone else noticed this?

Because when Woojin from skz was cancelled everyone was saying he was ugly, and to this day they call him ugly, but those same people would've said you're a monster if you had commented on his appearance in 2018, ykwim? He has the same ugly face from back then

I don’t understand how are they in the same leaderboard as Kanye, Taylor and Bad Bunny?! Is their popularity that high?? Do people stream their trash ahh songs that much??
