What kpop eras, songs, albums and minis do kpop reddit make way bigger or smaller than they actually are to the gp?
Saw this conversation on popheads which was actually quite insightful and thought it would work out on here. Hopefully we can keep it as civil as they did for the most part.
I think it's very rare for music to be generally liked on here most times after release. have expressed this before, but imo, kpop reddit tends to be conservative when it comes to the music that's liked even down to structure. Any deviation is often kinda not enjoyed and people tend to dwell on what they didn't like more than what they like. However, the gp is quite adaptable to new types of music and structures as long as they are not too polarizing. Now I am not saying that people have to like every type of music lol.
So what eras and songs were labelled huge successes or flops on Reddit or fan spaces in general but turned out to be the opposite with the gp?
Some examples people gave from popheads were brat by Charli which was culturally relevant but the music itself wasn't performing as well as her peers while Billie was barely discussed even as her music was making big waves.
