lack of consequences cause accs don’t get taken down now because elon… and ppl are becoming more comfortable being horrible now with a rise in right wing views
it definitely is racism bc these groups are the reason kpop even exists 😭😭😭 every kpop gg says they look up to tlc and get inspired by them for concepts and music
Why are they flexing not knowing TLC like it doesn’t just out them as both young and uncultured LMAOOOO
Like do they think Kpop was made in complete isolation from the world? Korean producers whose lives revolve around popular music wouldn’t know Destiny’s Child, Sadé, TLC???
Like idk even as an American music nerd (we eat fucking excellently) you tend to look everywhere for sounds you haven’t heard. Music is universal and it’s a mark of a great producer when they take the time to expose themselves to everything under the sun and build up a library of sounds worldwide.
I love Kpop because of the idols, ofc. But a big part of it for me is listening to the production and hearing the TLC (intended) put into the backing tracks. Yeah it can feel cringe to praise your own countries art as a young person, especially when you’re trying to seem cool. But-
The ASTRONOMICAL impact black artists from the States have made on music worldwide cannot be understated. The US has terrible politics, but there has always been absolutely stunning art and music made here. The US is the birthplace of Blues, Jazz, R&B, hip-hop, ROCK AND FUCKING ROLL!!!
American excellence in music is genuinely the only patriotism hill I will 100% die on. No country/region is the “best” or even “better” at music, but it’s no exaggeration to say that if you want to understand modern pop, you look to New Orleans, to Chuck Berry, and yes, to TLC more than Mozart.
TL;DR: Not knowing TLC and literally Beyoncé when your whole identity is based on loving music directly influenced by them is a weird and yeah kinda racist flex.
You don’t have to be a Gold Star Kpop Stan I promise you can hear other shit with thine virgin ears 😭
they are saying asia doesn’t care about beyonce and that’s their reasoning but so many idols love these groups and love beyonce so it’s not adding up LMAO
and beyonce literally had her only album signing for cowboy carter in japan… they love her in asia. the way these people will literally contort themselves into knots to make a point
Oh, my word, all I know is that if I were a member of Blackpink, I'd be embarrassed. There is nothing more to say. This competition game has to stop, can't they all be great? I feel that it gets to a point where it affects the artists and their confidence and ability to progress in the field
