(Using an example) I am fearnot and I’ve followed Le Sserafim since debut.
I did not like spaghetti. Personally it’s just not my style and that’s OKAY. It is a fun song but I just don’t like every single part except the chorus. However, whenever I see someone saying the same (respectfully), I see dozens of people replying saying “Just say you don’t like fun music!” or “Well you’re not a fan of them then” or “You say that but I bet you’ll love it in a week” and for the last one, while it could be true I think fans need to be more receptive of people who don’t like their favs comebacks.
Just because someone doesn’t like a song or even hates a song DOESN’T MEAN they hate that group. Just because someone says they don’t like a song, DOESN’T MEAN they “have no taste” or “don’t get fun music”. People are entitled to their opinions and I’m genuinely tired of seeing people being mad whenever someone doesn’t like a song. Just because someone else, or even a lot of people don’t like the song you like, doesn’t mean your enjoyment of it is tainted.
Another example: I was the BIGGEST switch (stayc fan) from 2021-2023 (still am but not as much). However I don’t like Stayc’s music past 2022/beautiful monster. I LOVED so bad, asap, stereotype, run2u and beautiful monster however songs like teddy bear, bubble, cheeky icy thang etc just AREN’T my style. And that’s literally okay as I still like Stayc and I liked some of their songs like GPT and BEBE.
However, whenever I see someone just expressing their opinion like “Oh I was dissapointed with Teddy Bear” or “Cheeky Icy Thang was bad”, I see people saying “JUST SAY YOU DON’T GET FUN MUSIC”. Not everyone has to like EVERY RELEASE and using the title of “fun music” as a reason why someone HAS to like it is so annoying.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that people should stop pushing the “you asked for fun music but don’t like this song?? you’re a fake fan” rhetoric when everyone has different tastes and they are ALLOWED to critique a song. People forget that a lot of the time, idols don’t even get any creative freedom or say in the songs and they’re selected by the company so even if someone hates a song, it doesn’t matter because after all it’s a big company who just wants revenue.
Personally I LOVE “fun” music like orange caramel, (early and current) nmixx, young posse, (some) NCT, f(x), red velvet’s red side etc. However, that doesn’t mean I have to like every song and just because they’re supposed to be “fun” like the songs teddy bear and spaghetti that I mentioned.
TLDR; Just because someone doesn’t like a “fun” or “quirky” kpop song, doesn’t mean “they don’t get fun music” or “they have no taste” or hate the group. People are allowed to dislike songs and that doesn’t take away from YOUR enjoyment. People need to accept that and stop commenting how “people just don’t get it” or “they’re gonna switch up” because people have their own opinions.
