“Any Armies here?” Armies taking over the world.

Aka don’t annoy non kpop fans with kpop…

You know what seriously pisses me off? That no matter what video you watch on YouTube, sooner or later you’ll stumble upon kpop fans spamming the comments with kpop even tho the video doesn’t have anything to do with kpop. Example: I just watched a random video of a German YouTuber, and the comments are full of Armies talking about bbmas and the comeback.

Guys, I get that you love Kpop/BTS but srly…what does Kpop have to do with all the videos you’re commenting on? Nothing. I don’t want to attack anyone here, and I don’t say that it’s only Army fandom, but I personally only see Armies, everywhere, at anytime, and therefore will talk about them in the following. Ofc not all Armies are like that, obviously it’s only a part of the fandom acting like that. Just as in all others Fandoms.

“Any Armies here?”

Why would anyone be interested in that when you watch a let’s play video or something? Why would you annoy anyone with things they don’t have any clue about? Don’t you see that people start to hate on groups because of their annoying fandoms??? If the video is related to kpop, then sure. Feel free to talk about your faves. But also here, why commenting under XY’s MV (which has nothing to do with BTS) “Any Armies here?”? That simply doesn’t make any sense to me. Maybe I just don’t understand it, feel free to explain the sense of this to me.

And more importantly, why do you start wars all the time??? Just now I saw a huge discussion about if “BTS is Kpop” or “Kpop is BTS” in the comments section of a not-kpop related video. This is getting out of hand.

Listen, I’m not hating on BTS. I truly like them. They were the first group I stanned back then. But I’m tired of big parts of the fandom. It feels like many of them don’t accept that other people like other groups. That other people might not even like Kpop. Also many don’t accept that Kpop is not BTS. There are so many more hardworking groups in Kpop, BTS is only one of them.

It’s simply super disrespectful saying that BTS is the most important Kpop group or sth, because dudes… 1. Everyone has different preferences. 2. Don’t you dare forgetting about the older generation groups, without them the “new” groups wouldn’t even exist.

I don’t know why you have this urge to spam people with your faves. But I’m so tired of it. It’s really sad to say but somehow the fandom made me distance myself from BTS and Armies. I still like the group and their music, because it’s not their fault that the fandom is escalating so much. I just could never call myself an Army. There happened too much shitty stuff with which I don’t want to be involved with.

But remember, this isn’t only about Armies, this is about everyone who forces Kpop on non-kpop fans. I mean, non Kpop Fans also don’t spam the comments with “Any Fall Out Boy Fans here” or sth? Imagine everyone talking about their favourite bands/shows/whatever in any comment sections: “Any Teen Wolf fans here?”, “Any Game of Thrones fans here?”, “Any Assassin’s Creed fans here?”. No one does this. You’re not that special that you have to shove your “extraordinary” taste in music/overflowing love for a band in everyone’s face.

[Remember, this reflects my opinion. I’m already preparing for a shitstorm here, but as always, if you have to tell me sth, then text me. I’m always ready for discussions, different opinions and views. So feel free to contact me…Instead of secretly hating on me.]

I’m so done

Ok. Two things.

1) I’m tired of articles that only talk about numbers instead of actual music. Since BTS release a new album the only thing I have seen is about “new records” again and again. It seems that the ONLY important thing is YouTube views and breaking records. And I’m not just talking about BTS I’m talking about the KPOP in general. I mean, I know is important but isn’t the MOST important. Stop chasing numbers. Seems like the quality of the song is dictated for the number of fans and views than the actual music, the lyrics, the meaning and the feels that they want to transmit. I wish I could see more articles about this instead.

And this goes for all the groups in the current era not just BTS. If a group have more views than other that doesn’t mean that they’re better or worse. There’s a lot of amazing singers and groups so please don’t underestimate them just for the number of views and appreciate the music for what it is.

2) And I’m also tired of the fact that you can’t give you opinion if it’s different from the rest. Because if you do (even if you are respectful) you get insulted.

I’m ARMY. I have seen ARMYs that didn’t like the new album and just because of that, they receive a lot of hate. I can’t get used to it either. I tried. But I couldn’t. I also didn’t like DNA era. But why is that bad?

“If you don’t like their song then you’re not a true fan”

That’s is bullshit.

Being a fan of a group doesn’t mean that you have to love all their songs, all they do. No, it’s not an obligation. It’s fine if a song isn’t your style and you don’t like it. That doesn’t mean that your don’t support them or that you do not love them. It’s just an opinion for God’s sake. RESPECT.

And this applies to all kpop’s groups. If you think that the songs of your fav group are amazing, pure art, or whatever, that’s okay. But if someone have a different opinion, don’t attack them. Don’t try to impose your opinion. Respect them.
