Why do Sones always compare SNSD to other girl groups?

Recommended Posts

Like, the conversations are always made with "SNSD is the #1 girl group in this ranking, in that ranking"....

 

Comparing SNSD to other girl groups  like comparing heaven and earth tbh.... like Kidz Bop and MJ lol. Since SNSD's album sales were like 10 girlgroups put together.

 

I think comparing SNSD to top boygroups+2NE1 makes more sense since they're closer in popularity. It also gives a more realistic picture on how is SNSD popular (even though the difference may be big, it's still not like heaven and earth)

 

 

Is it that Sones really love rankings where SNSD is number 1? Or is it that every 2nd day some girl groups debuts, whose fans proclaim them as being "the next SNSD" or whatever? 

 

Also maybe it comes from long tradition of Sones (and kpop fans in general) getting into rivalry with Elfs, Blackjacks, wonderfuls etc? So, in that way the fact that SNSD is a girl group somehow became something very special?

 

Even though SNSD was hated to death when they debuted, they were still popular lol. Their album sales were no joke. So SNSD also didn't start from zero while being hated, to nations girl group.

I don't know, I mean I think some SONEs are obsessed with rankings but only cause they're proud of the group which has been through a lot of ups and downs. The fact that it's managed to stay on top for all these years...well it's something we can't help to be proud of sometimes haha!

 

But yeah idk I don't really compare them to other groups that much since I stan a lot of other girl groups and think they're all awesome for various reasons. I think when someone claims that some rookie group is the next SNSD people get defensive but that's pointless really. With such a large following, we shouldn't feel threatened or be petty towards other groups. It makes us look bad as a fandom.

SNSD are ggs though, so others ggs are their competition.....

 

Besides isn't it the other way round, others compare to SNSD? The general case is that among ggs SNSD comes out on top the vast majority of the time so it I guess it sorta becomes what you'd expect or the standard. It's only when there's dispute whether another gg had a better year that all the fighting starts from all sides

 

And ofc fans brag that's given, it's only natural, it's not like Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid etc fans don't brag when they're champions or whatever.

Almost every single fandom compares its not just sones

 

and why does snsd get compared to girl groups well because they are a girl group  :imstupid:

 

the comparisons get really funny after some time:

 

"SNSD tops the list of best selling girl group albums in 2015:

#1 SNSD - 400k sold albums

#2 *insert girl group name* - 80k if lucky""

even companies that arent fans do stuff like that though example gaon they released a list that just was of girl groups sells like :imstupid:

 

even awards they usually have best female group category and best boy group category and you rarely see a best group category because lets face it boy groups and girl groups are different they cater to different audiences overall

I see more comparisons being made by other fandoms than I do Sones. On top of that, 329847203572938 comparison threads across all fandoms/idol groups/idols have been made just this month. For some reason, people don't have anything better to do than to compare _____ with ______. That's all that gets done around here so why you just singling out SNSD?

why other groups' fans always comparing their groups to SNSD too?

 

maybe they are ex sones joke xd

 

and also because of big influence snsd has on kpop and girl groups

hm, maybe you have a point about the award thing, 

 

I think it's only as of recently that you can be a top girl group without the fandom, it used to be impossible to be a top girlgroup without a fandom in korea, relying only on public recognition.

 

and also there used to be boygroups who had bigger public recognition that girlgroups

 

everything changed after gold era of kpop ended so both aren't really comparable

Another question is why, if SNSD is this Great Wall, do they get all in their feelings when other girl groups have success. I can think of one four member girl group with amazing legs that really gets under their skin.

Preach! Lol Sones are always so pressed about Sistar
