this post isnt meant to invite hate toward bp, but ive been struggling to find a subreddit where this fits.. i previously shared a 20 minute video commentary about the deadline tour and bps future, and at the time i was fairly optimistic. i trusted the members based on how positively they spoke about the group, and their strong solo endeavors made me excited for a group comeback.
unfortunately, the deadline tour didnt elevate their artistry in any meaningful way. if anything, their return as a group in 2025 feels like it slightly tarnished their legacy rather than strengthened it
Lisa and jennie no longer resharing teasers for the upcoming album has made it increasingly clear to me that some members feel disengaged from the group!!
while they continue to speak passionately about bp in interviews and on stage, that no longer resonates with me. as someone who ULTS them, im not satisfied with the groups current output or lack of consistency, and im genuinely considering moving on after this EP drops. rosie has described the EP as a carefully thought out project, but thats hard for me to believe given the rushed looking album cover, the juvenile lyrics of ‘me and my girls’, and ‘jump” being in my opinion, a weak opener..
ultimately, i think the numbers will show whether casual fans are still interested. their individual fandoms remain strong, but general support for bp as a group has clearly declined. between not acknowledging the n word controversy, minimal group promotions, and a noticeable drop in performance quality, a lot of fans have disengaged
