Kpop Rant - Tumblr Posts

People are taking it too far!

TW// d3@th, thr3@ts, other sensitive matter

I know it’s been happening for a long time now, but honestly, it’s gotten WAY TOO FAR! Like, it’s not even funny ever! Way too many people are getting hurt, and cutting at each other’s throats for a problem that’s been created by some nobody.

Let me tell y’all something, GROW THE FUCK UP! Enough is enough! Y’all took it too far, and now apologies don’t mean shit! And sending death threats won’t help either.

Why would anyone even THINK it was a good idea to start stupid shit on Twitter just because you saw an opportunity, and then when it’s blown out of proportion, you go and apologize? WHY ARE FANWARS OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE SHIT WORSE?!?! Are you fucking high? Were you smoking rock or something? Drugs aren’t a joke, and I’m not making one, because drugs can make you do fucked yo shit.

Get it through your thick idiotic skull: KPOP IS A MUSIC GENRE, SOCIAL MEDIA IS A PLACE FOR CONNECTION, AND FAN WARS NEED TO STOP NOW! ENOUGH! Are you fucking kidding me?!?! I will not witness another downfall of a precious human being just because of some group of stupid ass trolls who were bored one day and decided to start some shit for entertainment. Keep fucking around and watch: Karma will come with a freight train and shades.

Yes, we are all human beings, but we’ve evolved and we have to stop using this as an excuse as to why we make mistakes. At this point, this was a decision that was DELIBERATELY made amongst the group. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU?! When people make mistakes, it isn’t deliberate. We should be smarter than this. Go pick something else to do because THIS isn’t it at all!

I don’t know what’s going on in their house, but I do hope they fix whatever issue they have. The damage has been done, but it’s too big to forget, so this will take a long time to get over from. The bullshit that’s happening in the world, especially in Kpop. I mean, there’s been beef between artists in Hip-Hop, but that’s a them issue. But the beef between fandoms, ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS THE BIG FANDOMS?! I would not be surprised if all the social media platforms went on lockdown. Such a fucking shame.

If anyone of you have Twitter, please report and block the accounts in the screenshots. Hopefully, Twitter sees the termites that’s been eating at their walls.

If any of you have twitter, say hello to these accounts and, if you like, drop a FUCK OFF comment along the way.

Google translate isn’t too accurate, but I got the gist enough that they’re a fucking joke, and a bad one at that.

It’s so funny how a robot (forgive me, I forgot her name) has citizenship in Saudi Arabia, yet idols can’t live a life. No dating, no marriage, nothing.

I mean, let the robot have the citizenship, I don’t care. But we should all let idols date, smoke, drink, fart, sleep, eat, shit, dance, sing, and walk around without people sniffing up their butts and suspect anything.

Music Within My Life

I would like to share my story with you.

Ever since I was little, I have always enjoyed the music I’ve listened to, and I would have a habit of going back to listening to them as an adult. Music takes me to a place where I can be myself, have fun, and be at peace. If there was any song that I liked, I’d either danced or sang to it. And while growing up, I have seen the success of one group, a downfall of another, even one-hit wonders. It’s to a point where I saw a group that was successful for 3 years of their career, then they broke up overnight. I couldn’t grasp what happened, but I didn’t fully understand as I was still young, so I moved on. All I know was that one group’s break-up was not going to stop me from enjoying more music. There were plenty of artists that were putting out music, and it was extremely comforting to know now that I grew with them. 

If you can see my iTunes account back then, trust me, I had something and someone to listen to. Even now! This much I know: I will always be a music fan (or stan as people nowadays would call it.) before I show any loyalty to anyone. If the music is comforting, exciting, warming, thought-provoking, and even emotional, best believe it’s in my playlist. And before these audition shows and survival shows, companies always found talent, either at venues or talent shows. There are stories from the award-winning artists who share how they got to where they are today, and majority of the time it’s moving. What’s even more moving is when they share who inspired them to make music. 

I would go on and on about what I’ve experienced with music, but then this essay would be too long. And it’s about to get really long with what I want to share.

Fast forward to 2010: I never thought in my entire life that I would ever transition into K-pop until I saw Ninja Assassin (yes, strange I got into K-pop because of a movie). Here’s the thing though, I got into K-pop because the actor in that movie happened to be Rain, who’s one of the most influential K-pop artists in South Korea, and I learned that from doing research while I was in my 1st year in college. From then on, I began listening to other artists and groups (mainly groups because I’m a group-type girl). Now, of course I still listened to other American artists, but K-pop music basically has taken over my playlist. When I got into 2ne1, however, that’s when I stayed in K-pop. I could have stopped at any time I wanted, but I didn’t because what I saw in 2ne1 felt familiar with what I was used to, but they were extremely different from the rest of the groups that were present in the genre. And trust me, there were plenty of groups to get into, and with so many options, why would I stop? Overall, I just enjoyed listening to K-pop for not only being so theatrical and colorful, but also for expressing individuality. 

But after years of listening to K-pop, I started to feel exhausted, and it started when I came across Pentagon in 2020. Not to say that their music is exhausting. It’s actually the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. However, after 2ne1 disbanded, I held on to their songs and kept listening without giving other groups and soloists a chance. Of course, I did listen to BTS and BlackPink, but even though they took the world by storm, I still couldn’t let them in with my love for 2ne1. Yes, they’re different from each other, but I wanted some familiarity from the big groups, and I couldn’t find them. So, between 2014 and 2020, I was just casually listening to other groups, including BTS and BlackPink. That is, when 2020 came around, and with the pandemic, I came across Pentagon. Now, I didn’t fully recognize them until I saw clips of different content when I realized that maybe I was meant to give this group a chance. When I did, not only did their music bring that familiarity in my life, but I also started to consider my career path very seriously. Their love for music is what encourages me to love art altogether. Immediately, I wanted to be part of their fandom. Of course, I went through my ups and downs, but my ups overshadowed the downs, and I said to myself, “I’m not going anywhere.”

Here’s where I started to feel exhausted: I was so oblivious about what was in the shadows of K-pop that I didn’t even know about the problems until later. All I was into was the music and the expression behind it. Music has always been my comfort, and I never wanted to lose that. It’s gotten to a point where I wanted to protect music at all costs when I learned about the scandals and the drama between the companies, the artists, and their fans. Then I remembered, my fear for the exposure of K-pop started to come true as more people would know about it, and I would fear that it would blow out of proportion. 

What’s also exhausting is the increase of standards with album sales, charting, streaming, collecting, and voting, and to spend so much time just being concerned about those things instead of being concerned whether a song is good or not activated my anxiety. It was bad enough that I felt anxious about life outside of K-pop (with work and home), to be active in voting and helping the group succeed in a genre so competitive was basically icing on the Christmas fruit cake. To even keep my favorite group relevant when there are groups with an increase of numbers in fans BEFORE debut caused me to not sleep as if I was back in college writing 8 to 10-page papers. Of course, at the end of the day, I made the choice, but I made the choice because I don’t want to lose another group because I truly believe in them and their music. 

It’s exhausting to have to “properly” stream a music video so many times to make them count towards any music show criteria, to make more than two accounts to help with pre-voting and live voting, to collect tokens in apps that keep crashing and slugging, and I NEVER HAD TO DO ANY OF THAT WHEN I WAS INTO K-POP IN THE BEGINNING. I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THERE WERE CRITERIAS TO GET ANY TROPHY. I just saw that the groups from the big 3 were selling albums, getting so much attention, and getting awards. All I did was listen to their songs and have a great day. Yeah, I will sit here and tell you that I have played music videos on repeat or played different music videos countless times because of how much I enjoyed them. Now, it’s just not fun anymore. It’s exhausting, almost a nightmare. Even as much as the fandom makes it fun to stream and collect, it’s exhausting. I wanted to stop after the 2nd week of promotion, but I didn’t because I would feel extremely guilty to not have helped my favorite group even stay relevant in this genre. 

My breaking point was when the fandom and I learned about what was going on between the artists and the company. It was like the straw that broke the camel’s back, and it was painful, agonizing even. I learned so much about this group, but there’s still so much to learn as time passes by. Usually, groups that have gone through scandals and horrid rumors, they would either split up or go through a long hiatus, especially when they lose supporters. But not this group. This group have fallen so many times but proven numerous times that they can get back up and they have supporters that have their own stories they can share themselves. They have so much faith, so much willpower, and so much creative juice that can last a lifetime, and it’s something that I’m working to develop and amplify for myself. 

What’s ridiculous to me is that people lose their morals, or if they had any, by going after a group of extremely talented people because they haven’t reached the same type of success as the other groups and insult them. They would use words like “flop” “ugly” “lame” “disbanded” “fuck pentagon”, spread false rumors about them, and hold their past against them to bring them and the fandom down. It’s exhausting to ask “why? why do that? did they do something to you for you to say these things about them?” The usual answer would be, “because they want attention.” And they lose their morals for what? Is it to look cool? Is it to help their favorite artists succeed? Last time I checked, that damages the artists more than it helps them. 

(I also learned that their actions say more about the harassers than it does about the harassed. It also just screams jealousy. Or is to basically express their self-hatred and take it out on good people.)

I don’t mean to seem mean, rude, or insulting in any way, but the music being broadcasted now compared to back then just lacks expression and individuality. Actually, no. That’s wrong. That’s not what I wanted to say. What I wanted to say is, in as much as how they sound good, what the “popular” music lacked for me was familiarity. There are songs where I can put them on speaker, and it takes me away into the night. Those songs are playlist songs. But then there are songs where I almost thought my ears would bleed, or my brain cells would explode into dust. The songs that do that for me are first-time one-time listen. Then, there are also songs that seem like, “meh, it’s pretty good. Hopefully someone else will get to enjoy it.” To those songs, I’d say, “Thanks, but someone else will enjoy it.”

I have never thought that listening to music would be exhausting when I’m so used to music being enjoyable and comforting. A good number of people would say that art, let alone music, is subjective, which is absolutely correct. But to throw it like a frisbee around to defend something that is just bad waters the meaning down. At that point, I feel that music is just being disrespected in my eyes. There have been songs back in the day that were so bad, and they were either a hit or miss, but in this case if the popular groups sing it, it’s going to always hit, no matter how bad the song is. It’s as if people just gave up on quality of music and just went with the status of the artist. Why? I don’t know. All I know is that I’ll never give up my faith in music for the sake of popularity. 

I didn’t follow Pentagon because I felt pity for them, nor because of their growing popularity. If I did, I have no right to support them nor listen to them. They deserve more respect than that. They deserve more appreciation than that. I follow them and listen to their music because of their music, and their love for it. Not only that, but their fandom is also filled with people with creative minds, talent, willpower, and character; things that the group uphold even for themselves. Not to say that other groups don’t have it, as I’m sure they do, but I just feel it more from them and their music. I have listened to their older songs, their newer songs, watched their performances, and even their own entertainment, and I just genuinely enjoy them. 

This may fuel some angry people, maybe even force someone stop reading by the 5th paragraph, but My point is groups like Pentagon deserve respect. They deserve recognition, and they deserve love just like everyone else deserves it. Each member of Pentagon has their own individual talent that embodies their own aura, and yes, this is me praising them. I praise people who have talent and are full of character and demonstrate them towards others. What I feel exhausted about is that there are groups who have potential, but half their fandoms just demonstrate something completely different. I don’t expect the fans to behave and act the same way as the artists, but there’s no need to bring in toxic behavior and start shooting venom at others. I do hope that one day, at least a quarter of them will change. 

This is getting too long, so I may, or may not, write a part two of this, but to conclude this, I will have to say that K-pop has changed within the music industry, and it’s gotten to the point where I am starting to steer myself into other music genres just to breathe. K-pop went from expressing individualism in a world of tradition to numbers and popularity as if it’s a math class. Music may be complex, but it’s not complicated. It’s simple: listen to a song, if you like it, great; if not, move on. No need for explanation, no need to criticize it, no need to be of concern as if it’s end of the world. To me, it feels more like The Hunger Games than it is a festival. 

That is all for my long ass rant. I bid you a good day.

Rant to Fans with Nasty Comments

I have some thoughts on people who post nasty comments on celebrity posts (including non-famous people because I KNOW it happens too.)

This is not a rant where I give advice about why it’s rude to comment with shit, middle finger, vomit, and sick emojis because even if I did, no one will follow through. I’m about to express in ways that no one is willing to do because 1) they don’t need to if they don’t want to, 2) they won’t bother, 3) they choose to be the bigger person, and 4) it’s a waste of time. Now, these people are smart, so they can continue to mind their own business. They even choose to report and block so they don’t have to see that shit. Me? I’m choosing to be petty because it is the internet and there’s a thing called freedom of speech. Since nasty people want to exercise that, so can I. Just for full disclosure, no I don’t care if you’re going through personal issues. You got them, go take care of them. You want to vent, vent. Once you CHOOSE to throw shit at people, GET READY to get more thrown at you. Yes, kindness is a powerful trait, but since a lot of you don’t choose it, that’s a you problem (another to pile on to your life).

Anyways, here’s my rant: for those who are camping under someone’s account, ready for them to post something so you can send shit comments, y’all are lucky. Like SUPER lucky. Why, you ask? Because no one is saying nor doing shit about it. They report and block, and MAYBE your account gets suspended, but then you all come back with vengeance as if that’s just vacation for you. But then the people who are just posting or whatnot, just minding their own business and not even shitting in the comment section, they get their accounts locked or suspended, and I can’t help but scratch my head wondering why. Then, we’re told, “it is what it is.” well, FUCK THAT because that’s bullshit.

Let me tell you all something: you’re so loud for no fucking reason and it sounds worse than two pigeons fucking on the rooftop of the skyscraper in springtime. honestly, if you’re crying for help, just say so. Or go see someone, I don’t know. But shitting on people’s posts is NOT it. The shit smells and it needs to be flushed down or burned to oblivion.

Oh, those comments are opinions? Oh, okay! That makes it a world of a difference. Because here’s the thing: those “opinions” aren’t even worth fucking copper, bitch! It’s basically a waste of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and not even the trees will take your breath. Scrap that opinion and Chuck it in the garbage because it is WORTHLESS!

Oh, now it’s a joke! Ah, so you think it’s funny? Well, I’ll give you a critique on your “jokes”: it’s fucking drier than the Sahara Desert and Death Valley merged together during the summer. Get water because your jokes are DEHYDRATED. It’s worse than farce, it lacks wit, and it’s dull and stale. My god! If you throw that joke, give me some juice to wash that shit down.

If you think you sound cool because you use nasty emojis on people’s posts, let me tell you, it’s more like lukewarm rotten fish left outside for the flies to devour for days. And if you and your pigeon friends laugh like a bunch of dumb dodos from Galapagos Island at worthless opinions and rancid jokes, then whatever kush you smoking needs to be discontinued. And it BAFFLES me that however many brain cells you have left and you choose to post insulting comments. I mean, go ahead, keep doing it. Keeps confessing that you hate yourself and that you’re not getting enough attention at home. We all know you got problems and it gets funnier when your harassment is another problem you have to deal with because you don’t know when to shut the fuck up.

So go head, keep talking shit. It’s just your opinion, right? It’s just a joke, right? Because it’s obvious that your life is a joke and you made it a good point to imply as such. Because all of you cockgoblins, crotch gremlins, and anal trolls just had to shit all over social media and make everyone’s lives just as miserable as yours. Honestly, y’all should have just been a bed sheet stain and called it a day. We’re going around telling people to ignore you and hold celebrities accountable for decisions they’ve made that has nothing to do with us and then scream at the victims for forgiveness, yet who’s holding you accountable? Not your parents, not your family nor your friends, not even strangers on the internet. Well, that’s about to change because y’all acting feral like you haven’t been hugged since the day you were born.

And for anyone else who has read this thread and decided to call me immature, and claim that I stooped to their level, you all are part of the problem. It’s like when a bully attacks a victim, and y’all are the bystanders just WITNESSING the shit going down and not do anything. “Well what are we supposed to do?” Oh, let’s see, uh-FIGHT BACK! Slap the bitch, report the shit, clap back, save the victim! The bullies want to go low, let me help them get to Satan’s balls down in hell, then. Want to help? By all means. If not, then let me drag them down and away from the good people, and leave me the fuck alone. Don’t reprimand me, don’t tell me to be the bigger person, don’t patronize me, don’t even have me apologize. You can do all of that by yourselves. I’m dedicating my life to uplift those who want to have an accomplished life and block anyone who wants to smash keyboards and cry about how miserable their life is. Don’t want to see it? BLOCK ME, MUTE ME, IDC. Do whatever you can. I’m on fire and I’m ready to fucking fight a troll bitch.

It hurts, don’t it. Sting a little? Sting a lot? Ready to cry? Ready to throw a few punches? Do it. Go ahead. I get it, you’re angry. I’ve been angry before. But here’s how we’re different: when you hate something, you use nasty emojis and make nasty comments and think it’s just a joke or an opinion, especially at people who are doing better than you. Me? When I can’t stand shit, I leave it alone, mind my own business, and I don’t even put my energy on it unless it harms others. I may not be proud to fight back, but I will NOT regret what I’ve done. Whatever issues you got going on in your life, get offline and go figure it out. Just admit you got issues and take it from there.

That’s all I got for you all. Have the day you deserve.

This is just a random rant scroll if you want to ignore

So I'm a kpop Stan threw and threw. I have been since 2016 when I first heard exo from going deep into YouTube somehow. Threw exo I have been introduced to so many different kpop groups, it so happened the second group I found was BTS. Now don't get me wrong I love BTS there is nothing wrong with them and a whole. It's just as time has passed I slowly stopped listening to their music l, it's just not my taste anymore, and I decided to tell someone I knew threw this lovely thing called the internet,and they told me I wasn't a true fan to begin with, that I just jumped onto the kpop hype, and everything like that. And no that's not true I was a fan since 2016 cause like I said they where my second group. I was a big fan of them technically until 2018-2019 it's just my music taste has changed since then, yeah I can like a song here and there but over all their not my style anymore. I love and respect the boys as a group it's just I guess you can say I don't Stan them anymore idk. And it's not like they are the only group I'm not as into anymore mamamoo is a hit or miss for me,twice is a big hit or miss,ikon, seventeen was for a while but they have slowly been coming back for me. So maybe in the future I may start liking their music again but for now I haven't really truly liked any of their songs but a few. But that doesn't mean I was never a fan it just means I've changed as a human being.

I guess I have Twitter now 😂 you can follow me @llamaboss35 I will most likely be posting LGBT related things,rants, random shit at 3am,kpop,my puppy and who knows what else. 😂😂😂

Sometimes it is mind boggling y’all delulus believe that idols are yours and perfect all the time LIKE NOOO everything you see on tv is just them acting as this constructed character made by their companies. Please stop thinking you own anybody & can tell anyone how to live you guys are way too harsh towards them & not very understanding of these human beings just like us.

Not there being more important issues in kpop thats been going on & still going for years but people worried about winwin with women I cannot ☠️ lowkey but not really reminds me of when there were protests of people against Henry joining Suju
