Yes, rain on me is great, but I think most BTS fans (myself included) are more upset that the Grammy’s blatantly exploited BTS and then didn’t give them the win. Having them as one of two performances in the main show not nominated for a major award is already kind of exploitive but they really just bring in BTS for the numbers without any plans to recognize their music. Dynamite is one of my least fave BTS songs and they should have been recognized for anything MOTS7 related.

@@baronvonbeandip I really disagree with all of that, honestly. I thought Volume 3 was great, although not my favourite album of his. The bit about complexity is very subjective in my opinion.

I usually recommend his more accessible, simple music when asked about him but I love his more complex music too. I'm curious, what did you like about his other albums that was not present in volume 3? (don't want an argument or anything, just want to discuss)

BTS stans on Twitter are so mad and it’s honestly sad to see. Some of them are literally sending death threats. I generally like BTS’ discography, but come on. Dynamite was mid. It did numbers sure, but this isn’t the BBMAs. That aside, these stans really need to go outside.

[@aleakey9527]

Some fans are annoying for sure but many I know are more mad at the fact the Grammy’s used the fans viewership for both the pre ceremony live stream (1.1 mil live viewers, less than 400k after the category of duo/group passed) and the main show having 5 pre commercial announcements stating “10 minutes until BTS” or “BTS performing next” and then actually having them perform 2nd to last. That’s what annoyed many of the fans the most, they lost oh well next time they may be nominated for one of their non English songs (highly doubt it but...).

[@c_md]

Good for them for being nominated, their music is fine without being outstanding but they work hard. Their fans, on another hand, are so pity tho it’s insane. They went to compare the sales of Dynamite with the other nominees to justify the fact they should have won... They don’t seem to be understanding or care about the purpose of these awards, they just DEMAND that they win, no matter the reason, the context, the eligibility. Their career and music is a competition to have with other fandoms and the industry in general, they’re just mad they lost at something.

[@aleakey9527]

@@c_md I agree partially what you wrote, especially with the fans and the need to give data comparisons to both songs, but ultimately all the eligibility criteria they have for the entirety of the show is at the fault of the Grammys and the recording academy itself. We all know it’s based mainly upon being favored by the 12k+ voting members they have and it’s widely known that this award show is highly both unpredictable and predictable on who gets nominated and awarded. I can’t speak for the 10mil+ fans that BTS has since obviously I don’t interact with all of them, but the few I do, we are just as annoyed by the hot heads that frequent Twitter wars online and such and we level headed ones can’t do anything about that and our annoyance differs depending on who you ask within the fandom. The same way we can’t all wrangle the attitudes of everyone we interact with in person or online. My annoyance and anger is mainly for the blatant use of the over marketing the show did with the group as one of the focus points in the advertising for this show and their previous shows from 2018 and 2019 and the actual results they gave.

[@aleakey9527]

@depressed cockroach 10k likes on a tweet doesn’t compare to the tens of millions of fans they have on practically all forms of social media. And as a fan of them, it’s not like I can or any other fan in the fandom can do much to wrangle those hot heads and tell them to stop being stupid. It’s impossible to do so. I don’t agree nor condone what those idiots do in the name of the fandom but the most I can do is at least give my reasoning on why I was annoyed/mad and it has nothing to do with the winners more so the Academy, the producers of the show, and the unpredictability of the criteria for nominees and winners every year.

[@kaylyn7135]

ARMYs are not mad simply because dynamite lost. it's because of the extreme build up and obvious manipulation of the fan base & BTS themselves. a grammy doesn't mean shit and we all realize that, but they constantly milked BTS' name being on their set to get views and ratings. ending with BTS pushed to the very end of the show, no vcr introduction before the performance which all the other performers had, and they cut the performance short. it's okay to disagree on who should've won which Grammy, but at some point you have to recognize that BTS are more than shiny objects and a "crazy fanbase"
