I don't want to make fun of this cause they seem serious. And the song isn't awful or anything. But that MV is an experience indeed. Which makes it pretty damn remarkable.
Can't make their own music so they have to feature on someone else's. Certainly a step down from Dua.According to the internet, BLACKPINK is doing a collab with Lady Gaga's on her new album.
This is so ridiculous. 95% of Blackpink's success is marketing and brand recognition. Thousands of groups make supercatchy tunes and get zero to none recognition.Other than the media presence, looks and whatnot, there's a reason a girl group like BLACKPINK is making waves: you hear their songs once or twice and bam, the chorus is stuck in your head for a long time.
Yeah, I try not to get into this anymore, but groups like Blackpink and TWICE aren't really any more talented, prettier, or make better music than groups from medium sized companies.This is so ridiculous. 95% of Blackpink's success is marketing and brand recognition.

Especially BP, I'm happy for them, but their success was kinda handed to them. Got 2NE1's fans, got the YG boost, etc.
Well of course not cause we all know some of those BP songs would've went to 2NE1 instead lol. And they would've been viewed as sister group instead of the main act. Plus, we know YGE couldn't manage two girl groups 😂Unpopular opinion, but had YG kept 2NE1 alive, BLACKPICK wouldn't have been that popular.
EhhhhhUnpopular opinion, but had YG kept 2NE1 alive, BLACKPICK wouldn't have been that popular.
Not trying to slander them. Just saying popularity doesn't always equal them being the best, and they did start with privilege.
The defensive over nothing is annoying. Nobody has criticised Blackpink, but would happily do it if that's what you want.

We only said that there are plenty of groups as talented as them that are way less popular.
Is that like a fish or sumn?
BP brings out strong opinions even for a popular group, because their "rise" wasn't like that of say Twice or BTS. Both of those groups had to pay more dues, do more shows, go slumming on nugu programs like Afterschool Club, etc.
So yeah, when someone is like, "BP is so popular cause they're just better," it'll trigger a few folks lol
But this "instant rise" will probably become the new normal for groups from popular companies. Even ITZY won like 9 days after debuting. Honestly, it seems like JYPE is making them their BP cause they seem less accessible than TWICE were when they debuted.
No hate though. I'm beyond all that. Love what you love 😎
Appreciate the sentiment. I've been in this thread for a long time and check it everyday and I know how criticism starts to spiral out of control into personal critiques of members. It's gotten better thankfully as people are realizing how wrong it is to go after individual members of a group and call them lazy, implying someone is favored in an alarmingly gross way, etc. I'm just tired of it. I understand that it wasn't said here when I posted, but rather I posted as a way to deter the conversation from going down that road.
Edit: Also it fuckin sucks that BP just doesn't release new music very often. Usually groups take awhile to grow on me but from the jump I fuckin loved them. Their presence, style, music, singing, rapping, personalities all jumped out to me immediately. Usually, groups take awhile to have established personalities for members.
I'd say all of the big groups right now have very strong, easily identifiable images to themselves.
I don't think any of the current groups aping those groups are going to take their spot.I wonder if there'll be a group that inherits Mamamoo's space, aesthetic and sound after next year. So far, I think it's safe to say that there'll be a few groups ready to take Red Velvet, Blackpink and Twice's gigs.
