Aquamaraqua 4,293 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Seems accurate. Stronger fandoms usually come from Asian fans because they're more dedicated than Western pop fans since the fandom culture is so different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How Nice 1,661 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Directioners were a really strong fanbase as well though- like super strong (ex-directioner here) I think it comes down to how determined said fanbase is, like Japanese Directioners were a very strong fanbase as well and succeeded in getting 1D over there because of how determined they were.

NINI 16,268 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Welp, it'd be better to have both but strong > big. It isn't called /strong/ for nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skstarlight 705 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 For me, I consider a fanbase to be strong when majority of their fans stick around for a long time, basically loyal fans. There will always be fans who come and bandwagon once a group hits big and then leave once a scandal happens or a new group comes. So honestly right now for me, Strong FB: Big Bang, SNSD, IU, Highlight/Former Beast Big FB: BTS Just my personal opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dux 3,142 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 IMO, Big fanbase means they widely knwon and have a lot of casual fans, not necessarily translating into sales and stuff (BigBang and current SNSD).(like old ppl/ young kids be like "im a fan of so and so" but theyre deffo not contributing to the fandom culture and sales) Strong (and big to an extent) is EXO, BTS, Got7, Wanna One... like i wouldnt say Wanna one has a bigger fandom than bigbang, but they sure are hella strong with their buying/streaming/voting power.

Curlymckay 808 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Idk about who has what kind of fanbase but in my head a strong fanbase is a fanbase that will be really dedicated to vote for their faves and streaming MVs and such where a big fanbase would just recognize the group is good but not do much about it (other than have a lot of people agreeing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11minuteslater 858 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 You tried but no, as a once one direction fan I can say directioners in their prime? Unrivalled. And even a relatively moderate is size chunk of them - Larries made No Control trend, got it on radio stations and even the boys to acknowledge the situation, Louis in particular. And it was started solely by Larries, with the rest of the fans joining in later. And No Control was basically an ignored B side. Don’t compare what they’re now with what they were in 2012-2015 Sent from my iPhone using OneHallyu mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feel it yum 2,630 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Big = Girlgroups People like them enough to check out their songs. These are fans, but casual fans. Strong = Boygroups They have more dedicated fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
