bingo_a Lol so part of me thinks i should care about this BTS in America thing, but I really don't??? And the main reason is that I dislike this narrative that American validation is necessary for a musical artist or honestly any piece of entertainment to be recognized as "good" or "worth something". Regardless of what these stans say too, that IS playing a part in their excitement. Like, they can't wait to be all, LOOK AT MY KPOP GROUP BEING RECOGNIZED BY AMERICA. And all that does to me is further the narrative that American entertainment and approval is all that counts for anything and I reject that completely.
So yeah, I don't care. The one good thing I suppose is just having an Asian artist get exposure since the American music industry period is STRANGELY devoid of Asians. But I'm cynical and I'm quite sure there will be some kind of racist backlash on that.
And so I'm just sitting here listening to EXO after watching Suho's teaser and ignoring the people freaking out on Twitter. And it's also not that BTS is not my fave or whatever. Jackson was there too and I still wasn't watching for him, though I'm sure he was cool af bc Jackson is just cool af no matter where he goes.
The main thing is that I just really don't give a crap about American entertainment and American music awards, so it doesn't excite me at all. Why would I want my fave to be "validated" by an industry that I hate? Doesn't make sense,
Haven't really watched anything new lately and I need to continue with Master Key though the latest ep with Jackson and Jinyoung, plus the one with Chanyeol. Idk since I haven't made myself watch anything other than music lately, it's hard to commit to shows lmao.
Oh so a full front view of Baek during Ko Ko Bop came out and uh, that was interesting. 8D No, but srsly, I've seen a lot of stuff and that has got to be the most suggestive thing the two of them have done together. Playboy doesn't really compare lmao.
