How quick people are to forget the even stranger 2nd gen hip hop concepts that EVERY boy group had like BTS, BAP, and Block B. Bad Villain is a bad name? Are we forgetting that BTS literally stands for "Bulletproof Boyscouts" and RM stands for "Rap Monster"? Ngl hip-hop has always been done dirty in kpop. Does Korea even HAVE hoods? I'm sure they have bad neighborhoods but as an American who's not even from inner city hoods, I can't imagine why anyone would want to use that as an aesthetic? Hoods are really shitty places to grow up in.

[@FallforcupidD]

@NinjaKittkatt Yeah, the hood is not fun or a place to want to be. And you're so right, Hip-hop concept always seen in a way, mostly that to do it, you need to be "thuggish" when you really don't need to have or act that way to make hip-hop music, though a lot of earlier Pioneers and current ones subscribed to this act. Plus, thanks cause I didn't know half of this cause I don't and didn't follow most 2nd and 3rd gen groups. If it's odd now, I can only imagine then when you could get away with ignorance a little more.

In my opinion when it comes to sexualisation by fans, Niki had one of if not the worst fan sexualisations of a minor idol. These women would legit say “I don’t care if he’s 15” which is just horrid. There was also this one TikTok talking about ateez’s crotches during Coachella and everyone else was supporting it and talking about it in the comments. That is just absolutely disgusting. I don’t care how old they are. That is plain disrespectful and disgusting to say about anyone. Especially if it’s a stranger.

3. Agree.. Fans need to know this about songwriting credits : there's hierarchy in songwriting credits, the first being the one who contributed most and the last being the least. So for a song with 8 songwriters, if your idol's name come in at the end, they were barely in the room. Stop overpraising like "his song, written by him" coz its not. This goes for BTS too. Armys just glorify BTS to be "self produced" when in reality (other than rapline) they barely contribute anything. This happened with V from BTS. I see Stray Kids, GIDLE, SEVENTEEN having more control in their work, including songwriting credits than BTS.

The locals keep mentioning that they learned it from XG, but XG is a typical example of an individualistic Japanese person. This is a case,,,,, K-pop completely ignores J-pop at this point,,,,The reason is because J-pop has already been ruined. Moreover, XG is not able to gain presence in the K-pop fandom and around the world,,, Basically, XG tries to follow YG style passionately,,, In fact, AESPA pursues a more radical style than YG style.

That first take on Knock off Hip Hop was so hot I could've swore it was fresh off the stove. Idol company's having there artists rapping GANGSTER rap and Drill 2 completely separate rap sub sets, both with styles that accompany 2 very different tales of what "making it out" requires, both as far as removed from the Korean cultural societal experience as can be.... WILL never NOT be the most delulu take from the kpop industry currently. It really is sad because there ARE PLENTY of talented, HUNGRY Korean lovers of hip hop that REALLY adore the genre, truly appreciate it WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO BRING REAL HIP HOP (and all it CAN BE) TO KOREA but the continued pushing of the same misused stereotypes for a cash grab or "statement" DOESN'T go unnoticed, it helps no one and leaves so many who are talented in the genre, who COULD REALLY GROW AND EXPLODE WITH IT OUTSIDE OF KOREA forced to "convert"

2:42 the thing is is that kpop is built off of changing true hiphop to vibe more with the general public instead of actually doing something truly hiphop related.

[@Royalty05]

They’re just excluding Asian artists because with Afro beats artists they’re included more and are given serious Grammy nominations and Grammy awards, they’re taken more seriously with collaboration too. I think the issue with asian artist Being taken seriously is that they’re not really “artists” most don’t write, and no creative freedom. I mean every single K-pop documentary produced by western media talks about them being trained machines and coming from a K-pop factory, and to me that terminology makes them come across like uninspired, untalented money making individuals that don’t care much for music. And it doesn’t help that K-pop copies everything the west does as of lately and when you have positions in a group like “ visuals” were your sole purpose is visuals well that’s kinda another reason for the west to not take you seriously as an artist. It’s too robotic

[@Royalty05]

In the same way that see trough shirts over bustiers and peeping skirts over ultra short skirts. Insinuation are a lot more interesting that showing and a lot more confortable even to see. And of course I think that it should be only if the idol is comfortable with it and above 20.

It does give 'school play' kinda vibes. But the girls are talented so im just waiting for their debut.

Let's be real, Badvillian is an clone of XG. Before XG debuted, they released dance videos showing off their dance skills, Badvillian copy that. Sooner or later, Badvillian will released their own rap video just like XG did. Badvillian is leeching off of XG formula and taking it to a whole new level. At least, others XG clones limited their imitation of XG.
