#1 sunoo would probably have a community of haters like wonyoung (ofc not the same scale) if he were a girl instead #2 kiss of life is talented and has insane discography, you can't deny it (i think it would rival twice's if they last long enough). even though THAT live happened, it's not like mentioning them and their songs is a disease? #3 i feel like katseye is giving me similar vibes to bp... i would pay to see them solo but the group... it just gets really complicated. #4 we should seriously normalize calling people out if they are genuinely harming and being a toxic manipulator. it doesn't mean that you get to be all immature and harass them back, but still. (although spoppers may not take it well because i've seen some of us harass people by "taking a friend's side" - though with good intention, doesn't allow the instigator to apologize and make up for mistakes.) #5 gonna be so honest. there's definitely a voice bias in spop, but at the same time we don't want to have weak voices? even if you don't have the "mainstream vocal tone" but a unique one, it doesn't matter if your vocals aren't developed enough. i think rubie i the perfect example of mainstream and developed vocal tone, meanwhile ivy an example of more unique (meaning less mainstream) and more developed vocals. enunciation also applies. #6 companies prioritize pronunciation of korean/japanese lyrics too much? sometimes i do see companies say "can u pronounce romanized or fake it well?" and if you did... I LOEV YOU... genuinely it doesn't matter too much unless the person is struggling to fill in syllables on beat, because that obviously stands out too much. as long as a person who is listening to the song for the first time won't notice, it'll be fine. don't sweat it yall #7 mixing is a skill and people should be praised for it. period. some people complain and say that not everyone can do it... y'all are just lazy if it's obviously 3 beats off and not even a full measure at least TTvT if this is a struggle for you, PLEASE i recommend you to use an instrumental-removed guide to edit lines... (vocal remover dot org works well) these kinda come hand in hand... on one hand, people don't really click on thumbnails if it's not as visually appealing, which makes people upset when they actually sang well and put a ton of effort in, while on the other hand, thumbnails are indeed meant to hook people into getting clicks. i personally think that images are key to getting someone interested. our attention spans suck, lets bsfr. yes i get it's a kid's site, but either way, that's how you gain views and possibly likes from there on. thumbnails on scratch are the same as the first 3 seconds of short form content. if you don't wanna hook people by thumbnails per se, try doing clickbait in the comm with links, where images don't pop up first. think about it- if sabrina carpenter came to her espresso photoshoot in a sweatshirt and sweatpants, would anyone actually care as much? random and not so hot but HOW are some of yall still supporting and defending tarzzan (adp) ☠️ (tw periods) lowkey i dont think it's a red flag for guys to be slightly grossed out by periods, but as long as they accept it and don't alienize it, i think it's fine (i'm grossed out every time i have periods) faking faking your age for attention sucks (yes , faking faking.)
