"they aren't reporting this anywhere" actually usually they are you just don't seek out information from reputable sources. You don't believe anything unless a white person says it to you in a serious monotone and then asks you to follow their page to stay up to date on the "real news"

I'm gonna be so real some of the people who will make videos saying "I talked to someone who lives outside America and their news is reporting things I haven't heard on American news" aren't factoring in that they don't watch American news and get all their information from TikTok

The new Israeli execution law will see Palestinians sentenced to death by military courts with little oversight and a low bar for evidence. It should disgust anyone who claims to stand for equality, human rights and democracy.

not even saying this is necessarily BTS's abbey road just saying critics talk just to talk and they repeat what all their friends are saying. From the dawn of criticism to today you could count the critics who truly evaluate everything they review out of pure love of the form and craft on one hand

000

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

actually looked up initial reviews of Abbey Road just now bc I remembered it being panned at first and then everyone changed their minds after and y'all. I just laughed out loud you could replace "Beatles" with "BTS" here and icb how indistinguishable this is from arirang reviews omg

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

watching white guys ragebait review arirang is like when drake fans were trying to dunk on gnx like you and I both know this is not a 2/10 you just have evil in your heart

I didn't like the "right here with the moon and the sharks" line in swim at first but after watching that documentary I get it like yea ATP they really are just trying to swim in shark infested water fr

V suggests changing a lyric in 2.0 bc it "is only relatable to us" and Nicole tells him they don't have to change it bc songs like On and Black Swan were very personal and specific to them and they still were received well by fans. Y'all are too quick to demonize people fr

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Y'all did Nicole fucking dirty bc why did I just come to the scene everyone was up in arms about and she was saying the exact opposite of what ppl accused her of

He has a sizable team working with him now too so the fact that no one bothered to fact check him on that... I know sometimes he can do capable criticism and it's good that he brings attention to underrated artists but I just hate when music reviewers act like they don't actually like music

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

WAIT HE DIDNT EVEN LOOK AT THE PRODUCER LIST??? damn like I had low expectations but not that low

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Ig that's what I expected then. He famously does not seem to care about context and rates entirely on his first listen vibes, only critically engaging with smth on a deeper level if he goes in wanting to like it. His role in the industry seems to be as an echo chamber for fake woke straight men.

100

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Wow I didn't watch I bc I can't stand his male pick me attitude but calling them too alien for Western hip hop is sooooo funny considering that "criticism" is literally what the song Aliens is about...does he realize or acknowledge that or did he legit not even look up a lyric translation?

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

I've seen the quote where the docu director said he and rm both had Greek mythology and the odyssey specifically in mind when the doc was made. yeah I'm normal abt that

If you don't talk about music like mic the snare talks about music it's time to sit tf down

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

I think if we are keeping music criticism around we need to take it back from the stans and the narcissists. in order to have a public opinion on music now you must have a music degree from an accredited university or equivalent experience in the field no exceptions

100

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Like arirang is for sure sonically adventurous and a step outside of the usual for BTS themselves but oh my god not everything that doesn't sound like a Taylor Swift song is an experiment

100

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

if I hear one more person criticizing hooligans by calling it too experimental I might cry like I want to lock you all in a room and make you listen to homogenic until your brain explodes

after almost a full week of hearing some insane arirang reactions I have determined that the average kpop fan would actually physically die if they tried listening to bjork

110

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

there's an element also that's so chronically online of feeling like you have to know the most about everything like no I have special insight into this song and I know it wasn't made with pure intentions THATS why I don't like it. honey you're a 32 year old accountant from Ohio you don't know that

000

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

People need to moralize taste so bad ATP it can't just be "it isn't my style" it has to be "it's not Korean enough" "they've sold out from their old music" "the members clearly don't actually like it" you can't find a reason why you dislike it so you just make up a lie this is embarrassing for you

110

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

like I don't think anyone is above criticism but it's baffling to me that most of the criticism for arirang isnt like people stating opinions about the quality of the music but people just fully stating untrue facts about it. Like just say it's not your style of music and move on girls

100

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

The bell is old enough that it can't really be rung anymore bc it might be damaged. It's preserved forever on this album. how much more Korean do you want them to get 😭

000

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

People combatting this narrative by going "the fact that it was made by Koreans makes it Korean" and like yes but also there is a whole track about facing global discrimination as artists for being Korean. There is a whole track that is just 1m 37 seconds of a historic Korean religious bell ringing

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

They were one of the LAST major groups to do an all English song and now people act as if they not only invented the concept but tore up a picture of king sejong in the dynamite music video or smth

000

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

"mostly in English" there are two songs in English and everything else is the same average English/Korean rating as every other kpop groups currently active. Why is BTS the only group whose koreanness is questioned every time they use English lyrics fr

100

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

people calling arirang not Korean enough is so weird bc there are about to be stadiums all over the world singing out the lyrics of the most famous Korean folk song line for line

100

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

I think the issue w swim is mainly that they need to have at least one native English-speaker songwriter on their team who actually gives AF. but honestly who really cares bc those bsides are MAGNANIMOUS.

010

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Ironically swim is low-key the most underwhelming imo - sick production but kind of low-key for a tt. kind of nonsense lyrics. Also definitely not about whatever bighit said it was about in the press release. However that said literally ever other song is sooooo cunty my jaw is on the floor

I have since heard that it's most likely Lili Reinhart which is an even crazier pull than yerin I can't lie but more importantly the ship she is apparently looking at is a replica of a ship called the Ulysses..... Icb I have cracked ts wide tf open

But when one of them falls in love with a maid the solution is just. We're all gonna lie about it and we're gonna blackmail anyone who won't. Provides an opportunity for a dramatic plot point later but more importantly that's FUN!

I also enjoyed that they finally found some kind of scandal that they couldn't end nobly like they could society their way out of the viscount leaving his fiancee at the altar for her sister and colin marrying the person responsible for embarrassing half the ton

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

Also a stroke of genius for them to take so many visual and narrative pointers from Ever After. Made me personally very very happy eeee

andyetsofar.bsky.social @andyetsofar.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

can't tell you exactly what it is but the e1 masquerade is probably one of the most beautiful setpieces in television history and sets the tone for the whole season so im gonna say it's that

like the album could be revolutionary art, the members I'm sure were gracious and hardworking as always but I guarantee you 99% of these producers don't gaf abt that. They're la-based producers (mostly affiliated w Diplo and Tedder). They arent excited abt the work they want to buy a cybertruck
