Yes. But I think it's all because of visuals - sexy always give more buzz. If you look at streaming numbers tho, the concept doesn't matter that much

Specially chinese dramas without chinese subs. I know some are on YouTube but they're very few

Funny you should say that about G7, as that's how I've always felt about SVT and the reason why I could never fully stan them. And I've also listened to several SVT B sides, as I make a point to check out full albums because of the type of content I make on YT. I know they've done a lot of sounds, from fresh to dark, from smooth to funky to earthy to ambient. I find them hellaciously talented in both dance and vocals, and while their songs are usually pleasant/enjoyable, that's kind of it for me. Not very distinct or memorable, sounds exactly like what's already out there (no plagiarism drag intended). I often feel the same way about SF9 and ASTRO too, despite appreciating them and acknowledging their skills.
So in conclusion, I think it's easy to say about most groups that aren't our biases. That's exactly why they're not our biases. Me being an Ahgase, I find G7's R&B identity very distinct, and their voices even more so. They definitely had to grow into it, as their early years were completely dictated by JYP/JYPE and they wore a lot of hats to try to appeal to different tastes, sometimes to their detriment. But IMO I don't know how one could listen to every album from 7 for 7 to Dye and not see the thread of commonality in sound and style. It's clear as day to me and 7 million other Ahgases. I'm curious what you'd describe SVT's identity to be, that would make a non-fan go, Oh yeah, that's definitely SVT.
Sticking to the topic now, I'm confused what the beef is -- OP, you really liked YCMN but NBTM is too [something] for you? What's the something? And why do you think a certain kind of promotion would have any impact on whether or not GP would listen, because quite frankly, they won't. Unless G7 unexpectedly blow up from going viral or something equally luck/chance-based, they will always be a fanbase-driven group. And that's not an insult--it's a reassurance.
Off topic but YES, Eclipse gets way too much hate from the fandom just because of Page. If you genuinely don't like Eclipse, fine, I myself don't love how Frankenstein it sounds because 751249902 producers worked on it, but I feel like most of the hate it gets is just bad faith venting. I feel like one of those desperate multis always trying to bring the peace, but this time between songs -- PRAISE

THE
TITLE. kekekeke
my issue is: they keep trying to make got7 fit the current trend for bgs and don't give the boys the chance to show what a truly got7 song sounds like. it makes them have this "they're like any other bg" feeling and makes it harder to their songs reach out of the fandom. I surely don't mind antis and all but I'd actually have the feeling that "this is amazing, people who don't like it are the ones to pity on" or something like this. I bet both the fandom and the boys will feel the best about an album when the boys are truly happy about each and every song
also, I hate it that we have to deal with annoying noise songs when that are amazing better songs on the same album, it's freaking frustrating
ycmn is a masterpiece, only sociopaths wouldn't like it. I also don't have a problem with nbtm

YCMN was a masterpiece tbh. I think they actually fit that dark/sultry and mature concept but the title track's choice wasn't the best this time. I don't even remember how the song sounded like.
ycmn is one of the best kpop songs ever, that's it

I love form of therapy, I like to watch even pd's reaction to artists other than my biases. I also liked prof ukida but he haven't updated for months now

I really like Jerry but not gonna lie I found so weird the age gap with Shen Yue when it was announced. I will wait for comments.
Really looking forward to see The Wolf and And The Winner Is Love.
I was like this too until I watched the trailer, they seems cute af
I have to look up these, maybe they will get me interested too

If promotions are the same with the songs they released even if they did those other songs, we don’t know if Korea would’ve accepted it still. Korea is just that fickle to me that I don’t know what they want sometimes.
thats true but I'd them to try at least once. I think chances are good because of the responses they've gotten in end year shows too

Not necessarily my fave GOT7 title track, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as people say it is (I personally think some Ahgases are bit more harsh towards the song because of Page). But I do agree that promos for that album were just terrible.
I don't necessarily disagree with the overall point you're making either per say. Though I've still enjoyed a lot of the title tracks that the boys weren't as involved in, I do think it would be great if we got to see them have more of a role and say in their selections. And improvements in promotions in general would be wonderful. But I still feel like even if those happen, there's still going to be people upset if it's not going to reach the expectations or high standards they have.
you've got a point lol there's also the fact that jype changed the original song so much
I'm not against titles that the members didn't get to make but I'm tired of the kind of titles jype keep insisting to give them. again, ycmn was such a good song and totally different of what they've been releasing, also different from what kpop bgs had been doing. it was truly a fresh air. I'd like them to do more of this, a change when everybody is doing the same, be it with their own songs or given ones. if they can keep the "got7 feeling", better
and yeah, we dont expect good feedback from everyone, not everyone have good taste

I disagree. GOT7 has always had strong R&B influence music from their debut and now as they’ve gotten older are moving towards having a more grown vibe.
Even JB as a songwriter and producer his music is R&B influence.
They’ve found their musical identity a long time ago, at this point is if fans are willing to accept it or put them in a box?
Do I want JYPE the company or J.Y Park to trust them a little more? Yes, but if the end result is me liking the music then idk plus GOT7 still are hands on a lot as well in other aspects. JYPE let’s them branch out and work with a lot of producers outside of JYPE.
I'm talking about title tracks not b-sides...

Eh, like I get why people have such a bone to pick with JYPE especially when it comes to title tracks because some of those b-sides are certainly worthy of promotion. But I can't say I've hated what they've chosen recently. It'd be nice if they could spotlight that music more.
I politely disagree with the last part because I feel like their more recent albums has helped really shape their musical identity, especially with the combination of the fact the boys tend to be very hands on now and the fact they have branched out a bit more with other producers.
This isn't necessarily directed at you but I feel like people sometimes can't let go of this stigma they have towards their music. While I get that there's certainly a certain type of concept and sound a lot of boy groups tend to gravitate towards, I feel like if some of their songs to other bgs, people would eat it up more.
can't disagree. but my point is title tracks and how some of them really aren't helping, specially in korea. eclipse for ex was awful and the promotion was as bad. ycmn was amazing (typical dark sexy concept but such a different sound) just the promotion was bad. the good international reception of ycmn brought them a lot of attention and we're seeing amazing international results for nbtm (which isn't a bad song at all). but the thing is, promotions are still bad and the song doesn't sound like something general public in korea would attend to. however songs like the ones I mentioned were very welcomed by international fans and sound like something korea would listen to. you can see it by crash and burn (typical bg) vs thursday (got7 style) numbers for ex. if they will keep messing promotions at least give got7 songs that are more palatable

not a fan of got7's comebacks since eclipse, though i love the songs and of course the boys, there's always something that i feel is lacking: identity
you summarized it. and the thing is: jb himself was able to find the "got7 style" and yet the company insist in not using it as title. I seriously don't understand how such compaby was able to become a big3

since got7 first released teenager I thought they should go with this kind of concept. yes, we already know they're amazing dancers and they can go from dark sexy angst concept to fluffy cute concept, but we don't need it to be "proven" again and again. jype had the chance to make songs like come on, page and even thursday (although I LOVE you calling my name) got7's title but they keep choosing the hard core typical boy group songs. if they want so much to make sure people know how amazing of performers got7 are, just make special performances videos like they do with some b-sides. the songs I mentioned are much more easy to listen to, its' performances are sooooo fun to watch and it truly is got7's style. if jype give a song like this the promo they gave look and lullaby, I'm sure they'd gain a lot more attention in Korea and many international kpop fans would change their minds about got7.

Also, is the first line in the chorus a reference to Romeo and Juliet?
Everything is a reference to Romeo and Juliet, that's the concept :)

Ways to improve the mood when on period?
in Sport & Self-Care
Posted · Edited by geez
My mood gets so low when I'm on my period, to the point I cry for random things. Because of the pains I get during this time, I've been exercising and eating better for some time already and these got better, but it doesn't seem to help with my mood yet. You guys know any food or activity that can help with it?
