I'm weirdly tired of BTS/ARMY? (Unpopular Opinions)
*Sorry if this offends you, these are my opinions and I promise I don't want to bash BTS*
Honestly, for the past few months, I've been drifting further and further away from BTS.
Everything's just been so....
Weird.
I think it started with me never really listening to their whole albums. I don't think I've ever listened to an entire BTS Album- Wings was close but not there yet.
Confession #1: I don't love most of their songs.
For me, personally, BTS doesn't give me a lot musically and that's a HUGE turn-off for any singer. I know, I've been told by every fan that BTS's lyrics are so socially-conscious and so deep.
So what? bad lyrics sink a song, but 'deep' lyrics honestly don't do much to elevate it. I'm listening to the song, not metaphorically analyzing it.
Confession #2: (I think) BTS is too affected by the pressure to be 'deep'.
No, I'm not talking about the mixtapes or the rap singles (rap is way more about the lyrics). I'm talking about the MVs, whose storylines don't even match the songs anymore and are just the company's way of dragging in Tumblr teenagers and adults who, respectively, want to be 'deep' or are obsessed with analyzing and finding meanings to everything.
Confession #3: Yep...it's this one.
ARMY is getting to be too much. (I'm not talking about all of ARMY here. Just the misbehaving portion) Sending videos of them touching themselves to BTS? Explicit youtube comments on BTS's videos? Bragging about how BTS is perfect better than every other group alive and how they're so unique and perfect and so uncelebrity-like?
And since the 'deep' music BTS releases and the MVs, most of their fans are preteens to teens. So immature. (not saying that I'm mature though)
Also, for a lot of them, BTS was their first kpop group. They don't know anything, so they bash. And bash. And show no respect to anyone who dares disagree with them.
Please no.
Confession #4: I just feel like the vocal line's talents are extremely overhyped.
Guys...BTS are not good singers technicality-wise. That's a fact. They don't have to be at all- as they debuted as a group that would focus mostly on rap and hiphop.
They all have potential and deserve proper vocal training- they're going to hurt themselves with the technique they're using now.
THey're not better than most kpop main vocals.
And Jungkook, who's hyped the most?
I find his voice way too airy.
Side note: they should work on their live performances as well. As a fan, I wince every time I prepare to listen to a live performance- cause I know that there are always places where the singing is... just not good. I know Jung Yonghwa is about the same level technically as them, but he's much more stable live, even during the concerts.
Second part to this, I guess, are their performance skills.
BTS are wonderful dancers. They work really hard. and have awesome choreo.
But are they really performers yet? (i don't expect them to be- they're not veterans, and not a band, and most kpop dance groups cant do it anyway)
They still find it hard to really fill up a stage, really make it feel like a performance. At least that's what I've seen from them.
Confession #5: I'm getting tired of them personality wise (especially Jungkook and Jimin). Hope is the only one who seems not to have changed his heart much since debut, but it's really hard to find any celebrities whose fame hasn't gotten to them yet.
Do you guys have any?
