Lately, I’ve been getting so sick and tired of all the comparisons going on on social media. This group vs. that group’s achievements, wins, dance skills, vocals, concert attendance, etc.
What’s the point?
Success and numbers don’t reflect the quality of the art they’re making. Some may have a more mainstream-friendly approach and therefore chart better, but that doesn’t make the music of the non-charting groups any worse. All of them work hard and create music and content for the people who like it, and those artists are important to them. The groups mean a lot to their fans, helping them through rough times and bringing them happiness. Some fandoms may be bigger than others, but that doesn’t change the fact that the less commercially successful groups with smaller fandoms are still very important and hold a special place in the hearts of those who support them.
Why can’t everyone just enjoy what they enjoy and respect others who enjoy something different?
I just got triggered by a video comparing SKZ vs. ENHYPEN, pointing out follower counts and Billboard charts. And I’m writing this as a STAY. Before that, I was bombarded with videos about people being upset over the newly revived hype surrounding Bigbang and how much more BTS has achieved. Who cares? They’re both great and doing exceptional things.
And who are the people making these videos and posts? What’s their motivation? Are they just looking for drama, clicks, or attention? It seems like a lot of the time, these comparisons and critiques don’t come from a place of genuine interest or support for the artists, but more from a need to create conflict and stir up emotions.
