Not Today

 How did I actually go an entire month without posting here?  Lmao.  Countdown's even out, long out and everything.  There's not much new in fandom tbh.  There was this joke going around different Kpop fandoms about not liking Kpop only x-group pop, because of the dumb BTS fandom saying that and adding that other groups were getting a free ride from BTS's popularity lmao yeah uh huh.  I don't even like old Kpop, but your group wouldn't be around period if it weren't for those groups putting it on people's radar in the first place.

On the other hand, I've seriously become far less interested in every other Kpop fandom save EXO so other than the general stupidity of the whole comment, I'm not entirely lying.  I lie a little bit, because I'm still very interested in Pentagon at least, but most other groups?  I can't say I would get all that excited for comeback news at this point.

Oh I know the thing really annoying me lately. The freaking fact that both Pentagon and Junho have released Japanese albums and they're impossible to get. Especially Pentagon's.  Like, it's literally NOWHERE and yet it apparently did fairly well on the charts????  Wtf Japan.  Meanwhile, Countdown was out everywhere at like midnight lol.

I also love very much that EXO is one of only TWO artists performing at the closing ceremony of the Olympics and that second artist is NOT BTS. HAH.  And Baekhyun sang the national anthem and sounded effing amazing.  Imagine another group's weak-ass singers doing that lmao.  Embaaaarassing.

Sorry I hate their fandom so much that it really has transferred to the group now.  Not them personally ofc, but in a dismissive way.  I lowkey revel in anything that upsets their fandom basically.  I still love Suga though. :x

Outside of Kpop, I found out two of my favorite rappers released albums last year after having disappeared forEVER. Fana and Ignito.  Both were good, but Fana's was the best.

 I knew there was something coming yesterday, but I didn't really expect it to be the short version Electric Kiss MV.  I also didn't fucking expect it to be so freaking good omg.  I haven't been able to play anything else since it came out.  And as it's less than 3 minutes long, I've already racked up way too many plays.   Istg I'm gonna have over 100 plays before the longer version even comes out.  I can't believe they're gonna drop a Japanese album that's already this epic lmao.

What's funny though, is all the...hmmm stupid from other fandoms since it came out.  First was someone for who knows what reason posted the MV in ONTD and someone's dumb comment was, their Japanese sounds horrible but I don't speak it so.  Lol THEN HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY JUDGE BITCH.  Tbh, I think it's better than most Japanese you hear in KPop releases, but I also think it's improved since their previous releases and obviously CBX had some extra practice earlier in the year.  Either way, as a person with a long history of listening to Japanese music, I have ALWAYS been extremely lukewarm to straight cold on Kpop in Japan.  EXO has completely broken through that wall lol.  I see their Japanese stuff to be on the same level and I love that they aren't half-assing this shit, they're not rehashing the War or anything else.  These were all songs made for the Japanese market and they WORK, for lack of a better word.

Even with my other favorites, GOT7 and Pentagon.  Got7's Japanese stuff is aaaaawful and Pentagon had one banger in Get Down, but the rest of the mini was rehashes and a boring ballad.  They're releasing another one I guess, but they need to do better.

I've exhausted all my splooge on the actual MV elsewhere, but suffice to say they were all hot af and Baekhyun especially bc well he's my bias and basically he just has to breathe and he's sexy so.  Also notably hot was Chen, but he's my solid second so like that's not even surprising either lol I'll stop now.

But I saved the best for last lmao.  THAT fandom was all over Twitter saying stupid shit like usual, but my favorite was this thread:




Basically a whole thread of Army dumbasses thinking that EXO was COPYING BTS by releasing a Japanese song.  Like the one front in center, never made Japanese songs before.  Like, did you fucking get into Kpop a couple minutes ago or what?  Not only has EXO previously released Japanese songs (original ones too), but CBX already did an entire mini album.  I can't believe how dumb they are.

I saw a few other threads where they were afraid that EXO was gonna take over BTS on the charts or something and lol yeah they probably will bc kings.  And they were apparently the best selling Kpop group in Japan this year anyway and they're coming for 2018!
