Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean everyone else doesn’t. If a certain sound or image works for an artist then there’s clearly an audience out there that likes it so why would they change what clearly works for them for people who don’t like them in the first place?
I am going to talk about lisa. She’s been kpop reddit’s punching bag the past two years ever since she released rockstar and now that she’s teasing a new single you have people in every single thread about it admitting themselves that they never liked her music yet being shocked that they don’t seem to like the snippets of her new single and demanding she changes. If you never liked her lyrics or her sound in the first place nothing’s gonna change with one single. She’s been met with insane success so her method is clearly working and no matter how much reddit discredits her there’s clearly an audience for her out there. Why would she change her signature style for people who were never going to support her in the first place? Criticism is ok but complaining on every single thread about an artist you never liked expecting them to change is setting yourself up for disappointment. Plus,she does have plenty of songe straying away from her signature style like new woman,dream,born again,when I’m with you,moonlit floor,etc.
Same goes for katseye. The average thread on kpop reddit consists of people making it clear they find most of their music trash yet being surprised that they found their latest release also trash. Like I said,criticism is ok and no artist can go without criticism but keeping up with an artist you don’t like expecting them to change is setting yourself up for disappointment. Katseye’s music is extremely polarizing but there’s clearly an audience out there who loves it no matter what the internet says. I mean hell,they debuted on no.1 on the billboard top 200. I don’t like katseye either so I just don’t stream and buy their music anymore lol.
Overall I think accepting you don’t like an artist would save you a lot of disappointment
