Why?
Ok, don't get me wrong. I still love asian music (maybe not all, but enough)...but, I'm getting tired of Asia in general promoting anorexia. Practically every celebrity from asian countries that I see are underweight. Which makes me love the ones who aren't thin even more because they have to fight harder to be recognized and taken seriously in the entertainment business. And what's with so many entertainment companies (including ones outside Asia) dressing their stars in skimpy outfits? It kinda turns me off of groups pretty fast. Music used to be about connecting with the audience, not selling yourself.
And I'm not talking just about girl groups, I mean, look at some of the outfits DBSK has been wearing lately. I used to love music because it was the one media form that truly still stood for something. But now, it just seems to be losing it's grasp and succumbing to destroying the self-image of others and their self-esteem to make profit.
It's so wrong in my opinion. I'll continue to listen, but as far as watching? I think that's going to be one of those things that happens if I get bored :\.
By the way, I'm also tired of people bashing groups or other artists in general for "copying" another. There's only so many ways to do something before it gets just too ridiculous or retarded (Super Junior H is a great example with some of their songs)...but, people have to realize, it's the companies that ultimately make the decision, especially with boy bands. They don't decide on the director for mvs, the company does. Hired writers, once again...company. There are very few boy bands out there composing their own stuff (like DBSK and Big Bang). But even those who do compose, don't necessarily get to perform their own stuff.
I'm really getting sick and tired of people thinking they're above others and that their opinion (especially the more bitchy it becomes) is right/fact. If they think they can do so much better, I'd like to see them try. Because more often than not, they'd be worse. On those occassions...I would truly have to laugh at them.
I mean, honestly. These people must have such shitty lives that the only way they can feel better is by insulting others.
