I just want a synthpop or synthwave song by them

they should do city pop too

i dont understand when people say "they changed their music style so much" they always did... it's not the case for only now

[@yeet19813]

no matter what other people say, i love how diverse their discography is, im living for it

[@itsbtszone]

And if they keep up with the same music style, people will say "They're so boring" "They always do same style" "They don't have creativity" I mean are these people unaware that BTS always said "They want to try new things, BTS' music grows with them"

[@yeet19813]

@@itsbtszone yeah they'll because it's just an excuse

[@liliaochoasalazar9253]

Ikr. I think the only reason people say that is because of the nostalgia that comes from those eras. I mean bts have always been changing. I bet 4 years from now people will say "I miss their old music from BE and the MOTS series"

[@lowkeyfngrl]

crazy how you were able to some up how bts' music has evolved over the years. i think i needed this video because it reminded me of how much i enjoyed and loved their music.

[@honeypoppps]

enjoyed?

[@miZ_dream]

right? i loved hearing these songs again ヽ( ᐛ )ノ

[@viviantj9311]

Hyyh era is definitely their turning point even many casual listeners can’t move on from this era too but i got tired how many keep saying “how they wish they’re just like 2015 era” every time they make comebacks is tiring to listen. idc wht others said i love love yourself:her album even though many complained they’ve changed during this comeback.

[@ghosting444]

ikrr

[@zioo9441]

It's always weird for me to hear some people say that BTS is changing or they're not what they used to be. Yeah bitch, everything needs a change but BTS actually never leave their hip hop side. I love that BTS is always exploring genres, and Armys always loving it. HAPPY 8th ANNIVERSARY BOYS!! 💜💜

[@honeypoppps]

exactly, i hate it when ppl say that

[@natashaelqsiixan8748]

yeah they aren’t what they used to be. it’s called the beauty of growth and it should be seen as a positive thing. they are not the same as they were from when they debuted.

[@natashaelqsiixan8748]

i’m not a fan of butter or dynamite but there old songs did slap 😩🤚🏽

[@annethara]

Even though i'm not a casual listener to their new songs, I'll always love these boys. Thank you so much for making amazing music that gave hope and inspired many.

[@lostseouls]

not to be overdramatic, this vid made me tear up and now is my fave vid on the internet ty for this! i was reminded of how bts' music made me so happy for the past 4 years and even now hehe

[@claire4654]

can't believe it's already been 8 years!!! their 3rd & 4th year are my most favorite eras!

Ngl but BTS has one of the most diverse range of genres of music with RV, LOONA, NCT, TXT, MMM, SVT, MMM, SKZ.... But it's just haters who belittle them by saying they are overrated. I mean they deserve their success why are u jealous??

[@Meliodas-if7ze]

Dont say rv loona nct skz bc they don't have that much varietà and its obviuois

[@Thil]

@@Meliodas-if7ze don't bring down these groups just because the variaty isn't as obvious to you. I only listen to Loona out of those, but even I know that RV is one of the most diverse groups of the 3rd gen, and loona the most diverse in gen 4

[@Thil]

@@Meliodas-if7ze so before you say someone shouldn't mention other groups I would recommend watching a compilation like this for these groups too, you'll be suprised

[@erickafayefabian]

Loona, MMM, SVT, SKZ, TXT and BTS are the groups who truly says DIVERSITY in all caps.

[@Rama_Verma_]

@@Meliodas-if7ze I'm sorry but they really have💀

[@cayonaianjakem.9961]

BTS core genres mostly centers in Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB and Funk. Maybe that's also one of the reasons why Butter felt more like BTS instead of Dynamite. It captured the Funk and Rap side of BTS. Also the Ballads, Soul and EDM tracks are hella amazing.

[@emyarla]

This!! PTD didn’t feel like BTS either not to say BTS shouldn’t try anything new but as a single it didn’t feel right for some reason, maybe if it was PTD along with others but yea Butter was definitely more their own i would say

[@chaeblur]

i hate when people say they changed because even though they have a different sound now they're still very very hip hop influenced.. they still make hip hop songs and u can hear that influence even in their more pop-y songs lmfao

[@iqra7915]

[@Meliodas-if7ze]

This is amazing, they are literally the best, there's no other groups with so much variety

i really LOVED this video omg? it just shows how great bts’ discography is

[@viviantj9311]

BTS is the genre. no other kpop group can follow their sound. 4 distinct vocalists and 3 rappers with completely different style. happy 8th anniv bts! proud fans for 8 years.

*"BTS music grows with them"*

[@fairieale]

bangtan's funk music is some of my FAV ever

[@suchismithakn]

I maybe dense, but i never knew you were army

[@KpopStuffs]

they have been my ults since 2015 😭😭

[@cayonaianjakem.9961]

I keep saying this to co-ARMYs and my friends that listens to their songs. BTS didn't change at all. They still have that BTS core that they made and still incorporates that to other genres right now.

[@julia-kf9bc]

as someone who's been an army since 2013, I find it very ignorant when someone says they're starting to change their concepts now because of fame or whatever, because bts doesn't have a concept as a kpop group, the closest they have of a concept is the hip-hop. some new armys have to understand that bts ain't going to do a concept they liked back ago, because bts are artists who change with their music, they're not teenagers anymore, they're adults close to 30 y/o. bts' music is about what bts wants to transmit in that moment as persons and artists and not a simple aesthetic in an album. so, yes, bts is changing, like they always did it, that's what makes them stand out in the music industry.

[@55df73]

Wow, this is incredible. Thank you so much for your hard work and your respect and love for BTS' music evolution. For doing that you really have to love music or understand the boys, and sadly no many people do it, including music critics and so called fans of the group. Thank you for loving music and BTS, i love learning genres with your videos. Now, if you excuse me, i would use this to fix my playlist. I thought i had a method but yours is more organized. Again, congratulations. And Happy Anniversary BTS 💜

[@yoongisbabygirl5585]

TYSM FOR THIS OMG

[@qistinaruzaimi]

i couldnt put a finger on why the Wings Era and most of the BTS songs released in this particular time were my favourite. and now i see that its because they were all variations of rock.

[@briaunajackson3342]

It’s like watching my childhood pass and I can’t believe I grew up with this group since I was 11 years old😢

[@luvapril3414]

i feel so emotional watching this! I've been with bangtan since i've started middle school and now i'll be entering uni soon 😭 bts have made my youth so much better and i still love them as much as i did 6 years ago. happy anniversary bts! i can't wait to see what the future will bring us!

[@babystarmai]

this video really took me back. it's crazy to think that arguably their best albums were some of the earliest / first few the ever did. they were headed for the stars from the very beginning and i'm so proud to see how far they have come, adapted and developed. here's to many many more years down the flower path.

[@kvlqqna]

question. isn't first love is alt hip-hop? i just heard about it, but here it is just a ballad. maybe i'm wrong, that's why i'm writing this

[@-amel-9896]

I always thought ballads was only singing, i didn't know emotional rap songs could be considered ballads as well

[@madhumita4377]

tbh bts can go and totally change their sound but i will still love every sound from them

[@jazminakarainy]

bts has an amazing discography

[@sarahxsera]

This is what I love about them. They do remember the roots from where they came and evolved so much and always give out something that's so new yet has the touch of their past. I love that. BTS have such a unique and flawless discography. Happy 8th Anniversary!!! 🥺💜

[@Araoundtheworld]

This video is what makes me genuinely happy and proud to be an ARMY. It encapsulates why I like BTS and how they're not afraid to experiment and try different styles of music while staying true to their musicianship and artistry. They're authentic and truly passionate when it comes to music and performing and I can't express how much I respect them as an artist for doing so. Happy anniversary BTS and Armys!

Bts is always my ultimate bg since bs&t era but lately it seems like bts already a bit distance from me after on era until now.. Compared to others that stan bts for a long time since their debut era until now without feeling a bit tiring, you can have my respect for you.. I know its to late for me later found this video, it is a such a memories for me.. still i will give my support to bts from a far even though I'm not a big fan anymore..

[@laura79613]

yeah they always revisit their roots in hip hop, and even though i'm not a hip hop fan, i really love seeing them do that whilst still trying new things. but i hope they revisit genres like moombahton (bst), classical (black swan), neo soul (v gift us another stigma oh please😭) and try lots of other genres (jazz please). oh and could you do a video like this for Twice too? they're trying out so many new things lately and i wanna know what the genres are called😭😭😭

[@huonggiang5353]

now after this year Festa, it become clear that they did want to have an "end of chapter" with MOTS7 because they had take a huge tribute to their root in the album as you have point out. But of course the b!tch named covid came and mess the whole things up, so they can only revive what they had done in this 2 years, not really make a daring experiment since they were supposed to rest already.

[@lim6849]

Am I the only person that wants them to do at least a song with organ pipe as instrumental? or dubstep?

[@ShortNeckedAlpaca]

man i love bts so much lol this video helped me remember why i stan them. I'm sure this is the case for many people as well: i got into kpop because of bts but on these past 2 years i've started stanning and discovering a lot of new groups, so sometimes i tend to forget about our boys , and it makes me feel a little guilty. But they'll always be our boys, there's nobody like them

Happy 8th anniversary bts thank you for being such important part of my life
