The Unpopular Opinions Thread (Read OP)

[Digiwon]

As a non fan and unbiased person, I must say that anyone with ears working fine can tell that Luhan's "What If I Said" and "Excited" shits on more than half of popular kpop groups' songs. Seriously. That guy prob only works with A List producers. If his songs were released under a western artist I can tell it would be an international hit. Not that he has to care about it tho since he is one of the biggest popstars in his homecountry with 1 billion of people.

 

But dude

Studying isn't difficult. Especially nowadays with all the free access to information we have on internet; we can learn ANYTHING if we focus on it. The really difficult thing is getting into the mindset of focusing and choosing to ignore all the other 468436 things that doesn't require as much attention, to focus on learning what we want/need to learn.

SM lost a golden opportunity for not turning Diamond in a powerful song. Instead they chose to turn it into a chill music, which is a shame. The pre-chorus and the instrumental had SO MUCH potential. It could be a killer song like Overdose or Monster.

Never Ever is a great song and people here only talk shit of it bc apparently its trendy to use Got7 as punchbag. And yeah they have amazing bsides, with the exception of Girls Girls Girls and Hard Carry their title songs are really good, If You Do alone was epic. People who talk shit of their discography prob havent even heard more than two songs and are so eager to jump on the hate bandwagon, they have no sense of awareness bc like... If you think all Got7 songs are mediocre than the same goes for your bias group music. Bc Got7 make music that sound like any other kpop song would. And honestly if youre going to criticize the vocals and the rappers check the ones from your bias group first ffs. Maybe you'll be able to see the reflection of your hypocrisy.

Shippers and fans who are like "lmao delusional" are just two sides of the same coin. Both are obsessed, one for trying to make everything and anything about the "couple", and the other for getting overdefensive when they see their biases getting shipped even if it doesn't seem to make much sense. Like, it's not that deep. If you think two idols look cute as a couple ok, people may agree with you, just don't shove it everywhere as if they are actually dating. And if you think you know your bias so well and that they wouldn't feel attracted to x or y ok, but the fact is that we will never know exactly what's going on unless they actually speak about it, and we can't deny that idols are attractive people who see people like them everyday and it's pretty easy to develop a relationship with people you see often. That being said, someone's romantic life is none of our business but if it is harmless and doesn't go overboard and creepy to the point of jokes and theories being made (again, as if they are actually dating), then shipping it's perfectly ok to me. Let's just remember idols are real people and not characters that we can joke about their intimate relationships or force a context to fit our own fetish - I mean, if you have it, at least keep it to yourself like anyone would. Why can't we simply cherish when idols are lovey dovey with each other instead of turning it into a sick distortion for self-satisfaction?

very unpopular opinion but futurama > simpsons

Starship choosing Fighter as title song for Monsta X instead of Be Quiet was top 10 anime betrayals. They didnt even let the boys promote it like Hero or Stuck smh. The guys literally had to insist to perform this song in that radio interview instead of their ballad because that would be the only way for them to perform it and show the rest of the world their fav song in the album, even at the cost of the interviewer be mad at them. Smh.

 

I mean, if Starship is afraid the public wont like it because its tooo upbeat then why produce such a good hype song for them anyway?

Very unpopular among Berserk fans but Guts + Farnese >>> Guts + Casca. Casca is too self sacrificing and I feel this is why Guts love her which imo is the wrong reason to love someone. Meanwhile Farnese is a crazy psycho bitch but at least she have a personality on her own. She is way more complex than Casca and I love her for that. Also, idk if anyone noticed it but the admiration she have for Guts is pretty much the same admiration Casca used to have for Griffith except with some differences. Its interesting to see. Anyway, not just that but her chemistry with Guts seem stronger esp bc there is such a sexual tension despite Guts actually not caring about her. And here comes another unpopular opinion: true love is super boring in entertainment. I need to have something going on all the time, some variation of feelings to keep me interested in a couple. That's why I prefer Guts with Farnese: there is A LOT MORE variations of feelings in their relationship than Guts with Casca. Guts and Casca are just pure love, caring about each other, being blind to anyone else except each other. Its so fucking boring honestly. I know a romantic relationship isnt the main focus of the manga and its good for Guts and Casca to have true love in such dark and painful surroundings. But it doesnt change the fact that a couple like that is boring. You see, if Casca had a more complex personality I wouldnt complain, but the first part of the series was her life based around Griffith and Guts, despite her being a strong woman. Then the twist happened and she literally lost all of that. Even her vengeance, its Guts who is going to get it. Farnese, on the other hand, was a badass, with A LOT of flaws. Therefore she is more interesting. Morally perfect characters are too meh, not relatable at all. Its hard for me to care about them.

jeon soyeon is a true genius of kpop and i truly believe she will be as big and influential as gd in the future and just like he did with BB, she will lead (g)-idle to be legends of kpop. she is the mastermind behind the group and knows more about marketing and music than many experienced professionals out there. she will be the queen of this gen, at the moment there's no one on her level to run for this title besides her. she have the charisma, the hardwork, the leadership and the talent. she is unstoppable fr. I trust her whatever the direction she is going.

Seeing idols how they truly are and not just as what is showed to us is honestly so much better than seeing them in an idealized way.

Accepting that they are all around our age and young, that they have their own lives outside the camera, and realize you still love them is so powerful.

Its sad that this is not common because its very easy to be fooled by the videos and fill the gap imagining the rest in your mind, based on your own impressions and maybe even wishes.

But when we truly see them how they are, that they are just like us, there is so much freedom in it. We can just enjoy their music, have our laughs and support them, and see them as examples to hardwork and achievement; it can make you aim for greater things in life, with the mindset that it's doing it that counts, regardless of the result. You and your bias can grow together, even if it's through different ways, it still is a growth.

When you see things objectively, you see we are all in the same boat and that's beautiful... You see things more clearly and it's also a pass for us to free ourselves from the burden of being perfect.

Not to be cheesy but it's the happiness and love that counts, and it's better to have it with truth than through lies. We need to stop lying and start being honest bc it's the truth that makes everything else stronger and solid. If you cant enjoy your bias after seeing them objectively then they arent worth stanning anyway.

People who say kpop idols cant produce their own songs even when its known that they took a great participation on it are generally people who stan groups that really dont have any saying in their songs or want their bias group to be the only snowflake that can self-produce... Stahp pls

[Digiwon]

"We complain so much and dont see how lucky we are because we are not (insert disabled, suffering from rare disease, endless etc)" is disrespectful af bc youre literally using someone's pain and struggles to feel good about yourself. Stop referring other people suffering as "warrior", they are just like you and me. I personally wouldnt enjoy if something tragic happened to me and everyone would make use of that as a sob story and to inspire themselves, as if just because I dont have the same benefits as someone else people should just feel pity about me. Surely we all should learn to appreciate more what we have, doesnt mean we have to use others as comparison. Look at someone as a person before feeling like crying or inspiring yourself ffs.

When kpop fans will understand that MV views cant be used as a drag? There's way more pride in a group reaching hundreds millions of views in few months with zero effort of the fandom than reaching thousands of views thanks to your successful zombie streaming. This is why I consider Bboom Bboom the most successful in terms of views in 2018: managed to hit over 200mi without their small fandom streaming it like a robot, and most viewers are actually non-kpop fans.

I dont understand why people are trashing Hi High, even orbits? That "woah woah woah!" is so addictive.

Top visual is such bs, only girls and guys from the big 3 with VERY FEW exceptions (idols that appeared on popular tv shows, becoming hugely popular so everyone will notice you or being eunwoo) get listed or mentioned when someone talk about who have the best visuals. Which is ridiculous imo, because there's just sooo many great visuals in kpop industry, and a lot of them are in nugu groups, but people act like only the visuals of the big 3 are valid. Doesnt mean that just because these idols come from small companies, suddenly idols from big 3 are the most beautiful out there. Its really about luck - change where an idol will debut and an entire perception of them will be changed as well. Smh. Why people dont make use of critical thinking? Its such a blessing, everyone should try.

I like the mashup below better than both Jealousy and Playing With Fire. I love PWF it's amazing from almost beggining to end but the chorus fails to evoke any emotion imo, which makes the most important part meh to me, kind of jarring; meanwhile Jealousy chorus is too repetitive and the instrumental is the worst and dryest of any MX song imo, pretty disappointing when they're known to have amazing quality instrumentals like All In, Deja Vu, Stuck and Beautiful.

Whoever is the genius who blended the best of both songs, this person really should be working as a producer for kpop music right now, because: 1) not only it sounds really pleasant, 2) it has a complete different vibe from both original songs, that it almost sound like an original song itself, and 3) I can't find any of the flaws listed above when I listen to it. In one sentence: this is fucking good, it's actually disappointing how good it sounds compared to the originals.

 

 

 

I would only take that yeeeha out of Jooheon's rap because it doesnt fit at all and include the beginning with Jennie and Jisoo somewhere in the mashup because its my favorite part of PWF. Anyway, still sounds great.

No visual will ever top Xiumin in Ka-ching MV, that goes for both male and female idols and Xiumin himself

So far Justin Timberlake is the male artist of this century with the best songs ever, there's no denying it.

Bg and gg stans are the same annoying shit, both try to act as somewhat they're in the superior side when everything is literally the s a m e except for the music and the gender of the members of the group lmao.

[Digiwon]

People who can't feel happy about their faves without bringing other artists down just show everyone how threatened they feel by anyone's success, not just in a stan point of view but in a personal view as well. They should understand that looking things this way is a self drag: if someone else is doing better than you in work, study, relationships, does it mean you are worthless and everyone else should mock you? If you are sane the only possible answer is no. So the same applies for artists. If you apply this on a unpersonal scale, sooner or later it will affect you on a personal level because it will become an habit. And the fact is, it's more than possible to be successful on your terms, and there's space for everyone because no one is obligated to enjoy what everyone is enjoying and thank god is that way or the world would be hella boring. My unpopular opinion in short is this: the way you treat and see others is a reflection of how you treat and see yourself. Think twice when you feel proud about successful trolling or roasting others. Choose wisely what you really care about, because the exact same thing will be the most effective once used against you.

Fried food with rice. It doesnt work. I hate that its a popular combination. Fried food is supposed to be eaten alone, with maybe some sauce and salad.

[Digiwon]

I dont get why people expect kpop fans to worship western artists just because our biases stan them and are inspired by them like... It doesnt make sense?? I like what I like, if kpop idols stan Chris Brown Taylor Swift Nicki Minaj or whatever thats their problem lmao it doesnt mean I should instantly like the same artists and appreciate their music too.

There's so many wrong things about this idea that I dont even know how to begin.

 

I just want to add that if you're in the biggest music industry of the world aka american music industry, being noticed by the rest of the world is unevitable and of course those who are walking the same path may feel inspired one way or the other. Its mostly about luck than anything; there's great popstars all over the world and the main difference between them is that the less known don't speak the "universal language".

 

Now tell me how should I stan whatever just because they are worldwide popular? For real kiss my ass and try to have some critical thought instead of jumping in any bandwagon out there.

 

Now let's listen to an asian pop song better than what half of these so called western popstars nowadays have released in their entire discography:

Being hot or charming doesnt have much to do with looks or showing skin. If the person is able to emanate self-confidence and have good facial/body expression, they can be more attractive even if they are just average looking than someone who looks stunning or shows all their skin but doesn't have much charm or uniqueness. Beauty should be considered just a bonus. I find most idols who are considered the top visuals of this gen so meh exactly because they tend to lack in this aspect.
