Weird popularity

Recommended Posts

Maybe this phenomenon is just OH-centric but there are a few groups (well 5 I can think of) that have "weird" popularity. Popular but also not at the same time particularly on this forum. There are some groups that the general OH community seems to like/love and constantly discuss about even if they don't stan for them, and then there are the "weirdos":

 

Nine Muses

Have been around for freaking 5 years (and they seem to have lots of general support and respect on OH) but they are also slept on like they are super nugus. I don't get it. Not alot of buzz about them other than MINEs.

 

VIXX

Seem to be popular and continue to do better which each passing comeback but similar to Muses don't seem to have any buzz on OH, just general support.

 

Rainbow

Another group that's been out for some time and every post I see about them tends to be very positive. They have great songs but I usually see activity from only their fans and not the general OH community.

 

B1A4

One of my fave (non-stan) groups. They are undeniably well liked and their fandom is always lauded here. But I still don't see too much buzz about them outside their own fandom.

 

BEAST

Easily the most popular group out of the 5 and considered one of the "top" boy groups... but also one that I don't see alot of non-Beauties really caring about at all

 

Is it simply that these groups are not popular on OH or does it go deeper?

Are there any other groups you think of that fit this description?

i dont see any hardcore f(x) stans even though theyre pretty universally liked

Oooh yeah definitely f(x) is another one for sure.

 

I was just thinking about how I don't see BEAST mentioned like...anywhere except the "These are the top idols" list. I don't know whether their popularity is fading or they haven't had any big moments yet, but its definitely weird.

Same, I only see BEAST mentioned in posts about groups' popularity/success, and ironically they don't seem very popular on this forum at all :lol:

 

i like Nine Muses. Hurt Locker slaying me :ahmagah:

but they're so underrated, make me :rlytearpls:

I agree

 

 

I kinda think the good and sane users outnumber the creeps though

no, I've been lurking here for several months and can for sure say that every post is filled with either fans stanning their favs or haters trolling and shading left and right

and check out bashing thread

Also SPICA~

 

So many fans on this site seem obsessed with vocals and such but I don't see much love for SPICA despite them being one of the strongest groups vocally. Just the general "SPICA/Boa/Bohyung has amazing vocals"-type posts over and over again.

I still love Vixx and enjoy their music but I'm so outdated lately when it comes to VIXX. I'm too busy stanning BTOB.

 

I still like them I just don't talk about. They still have some dedictated fans here on OH.

 

What counts is the quality of fans not the quantity on OH x)

 

I just wanted to say that I love Ken. xD

Yeah.. they're groups that do relatively well and have a big fandom (moreso with Beast, Vixx and B1A4) but it seems like their fandom is really quiet or there's no hype/buzz about them? idk lol I don't follow either of them

Do you think BTOB has more buzz lately because of Sungjae surge in popularity? I went from seeing almost no posts about BTOB other than "Wow was one of the best songs" to quite a few lately this year

I hope we both get some new BTOVIXX moments we can both enjoy then lol. I really like their friendship and BTOB kicks ass but people sleep on them

Yup pretty much.. I mean there's no doubt that btob's popularity was really boosted by Sungjae but also a lot of the other members are being recognized too so it's kind of like you get into btob for sungjae but stay for the rest of them. And Cube has ~some~ kind of idea with the direction they're going for.. You're So Fly then Winter's Tale was all over the place.. no one really knew what btob's ~~sound~~ was so it didn't make them very interesting for non-fans imo

I know for B1A4 their western ifandom is much smaller than their kfandom..and I think it's similar for Beast, they're huge in Korea but not as much internationally. I figure most of the popular groups on here are those with big ifandoms.

 

I stan for B1A4 and 9muses, and I like VIXX too so I feel the pain
