This legit explains my “people like nickelback the band but nickelback the concept” thing

i keep getting them in my fyp, they are exactly the kind of music i like so the algorithm is definitely working.. but something felt off about them,

2021-4-14

a good example: 1D was put together by rich production company but everyone knew so there wasn't an issue

They give off the vibe that they didn’t know each other and weren’t interested in punk until their record label decided they did and were.

anyone gonna talk abt the one in the blue hair clearly not knowing what she's doing

The first video I saw of them they were doing an emo challenge and 2 of them didn’t know I’m Not Okay

thank you. a lot of the criticism felt like misogyny; I appreciate it being explained.

The support for the band also seems plant-y too. At the very least all of the support has been extremely aggressive and weirdly vague.

From what I’ve seen and you can look on the audio of the sound most people are going after them for fetishizing men of color

The point about honesty makes me understand why they bother me so much! I like some kpop, and that is an industry built on "plants" but -

I will say I have yet to see men being hated for being industry plants, at least on this app, even though 90% of boy bands are assembled by labels.

The lyrics of the song are legit so pretentious too 🙄 Nvm the fetishism of POC in those lyrics

2021-4-15

The problem isn’t that them selling out, it’s that it wasn’t even good.

2021-4-14

Well said!

2021-4-14

I kinda like the song I don’t get why everyone hates them to be honest

2021-4-14

someone had to say it. Industry has been doing this forever.

2021-4-14

This is easily the best critique of this video/song that I’ve seen

2021-4-15

could you talk about the history of industry plants and some notorious examples? 🙏

2021-4-15

Something about the song to me felt so off but I didn’t know why. This really explains it

2021-4-15

I literally have never heard of industry plants until this TikTok and I want so much more info
