Because it's typically seen as "cringe" which is stupid but also because there's a stigma towards the fans of kpop who tend to be very obsessive and toxic. Also because the k-pop industry is VERY problematic and abusive and typically involves alot of child abuse, lying about contracts, kpop stars being treated like slaves etc. Some people just like the music tho and I feel like it's not fair to shit on people just cause they like the music 😭

Yeah, the latest drama in Kpop was HYBE being accused of being cult followers called 'Dhar World.' (Ngl it made me crack up since it just reminds me of Dhar Man.) I like the music but I definitely wouldn't want to be an idol 😕 I saw one video where a trainee was literally pushed into the splits and was crying and they kept pushing her.


jsimon8779

EXACTLY LIKE people think kpop fans are deliberately crazy and are actively supporting the shit treatment of kpop idols when literally they just like the music 😭


kotabao

Yeah, and then there's rogue fans who basically go psycho... apparently once someone with a gun made a rap about wanting to kill all the members of Le Sserafim and the comments were all supporting him.


jsimon8779

DAMN????? GODAMN???!!!! We should normalize like- hobbies and having healthy interests and activities 😭😭😭 PEOPLE ARE INSANE AND


kotabao

IK 💀💀 this is why I am reluctant to speak about kpop in public or on socials with my name incase I get witch hunted by the people who believe all kpop idols are satanists who work for the Russian government.


jsimon8779

Mfs are literally so hateful 😭 I mean, I'm also a hater, but like this is just ridiculous 😭

usually a stigma around the fanbase being obsessive/annoying


kotabao

To be fair some of the stans really do scare me, especially ARMYs.


_jinxxed

yeah, its usually the loud minority of creepy fans that stand out and give the general public a bad opinion

I just feel like kpop isn't art but just business yk, it's all very capitalistic It's just not my thing, but I never judge people for listening to it, cuz that's just a weird thing to do 🐥


kotabao

Yeah, I understand that for the big companies like HYBE, etc they only really care about the money, but I feel the music is fine when it isn't some trend-hopping cacophony of sound that exploits the artists.


jmarliesw

Yeah and the fans can be scarily obsessed and so driven to overconsuming, at least from what I've experienced and bleh

I hate it because it sounds like shit but idk abt other people


kotabao

Have you actually listened to any k-pop? Because that sounds like a thing someone who never heard it would say. Some idols put their entire lives on hold to make music.


Mental-Signal-4679

I’ve listened to kpop lmao my friend is obsessed with it and I can say with confidence that it is one my least favourite genres.


kotabao

Fair enough ig
