#kpop rambling feel free to ignore
#the thing about stray kids and ateez getting even more massively popular is that i am genuinely so happy for them?
#like when i sort of half-watched that kingdom season years ago both groups struck me as just
#incredibly talented and hard-working but also as just great guys? like making the whole show into more of a
#lovefest (kinda) that a competition seems to have come from them being friendly and kind and refusing to be
#bitchy and backstabby just to 'mske television' or whatever - so it came off more like the olympics lol
#where people just want to do their very best and encourage their fellow participants to do *their* best etc etc
#and i do love quite a few ateez songs - if not as much of their most recent stuff and admire stray kids style and ethos
#even if most of their song catalog just doesn't click for me - bc that's cool! not everything is *for me*
#i can recognize skill and talent and hard work even when something doesn't conform exactly to my personal vibe
#(and also beauty is beauty like come on both groups are SO visually stunning they deserve every contract/close-up/photoshoot)
#even though i mostly post about bts because i LOVE their music including the solo releases i still reblog skz and ateez
#because they are amazing and i am thrilled that they're getting all the attention and success they deserve
#(although maybe getting a little overworked like my gods i know you gotta capitalize on the moment
#i do understand but let these men catch a *breath* you know - we've seen what happens when groups get exhausted and scheduled to death)
#i just feel weird sometimes as a not official fan of the music always but more the groups as ... people? performers? idk
#i just like them and think they're neat lol
#and i keep wanting to say something about it but i think it'd be weird to leave the sentiment in like tags on someone's gifset or something
#it's not like i don't think plenty of other groups are gorgeous and hardworking as well (lyon for life! ha)
#i just keep vaguely paying attention to charts bc of bts solo stuff and seeing people like making an either/or proposition
#out of who you like and i'm just happy they are all successful and getting their due?
#like these guys are normalizing publicly being friends across companies and fandoms as well as
#having boundaries and manners and calling out industry bullshit - i couldn't be more proud of them for that
#and for sort of taking up where bts had to leave off bc of ms in pushing the industry forward
#like 4th gen is doing the WORK and while building off the foundations laid beforehand they're also
#remaining down to earth and not ... untouchable? for the fans? and just generally presenting a 'regular guys' type image
#which ... i guess i'm old and remember when a group of twentysomething guys meant public wastedness and clubbing and
#horrible sexist girlfriend situationships and gossip columns and seemingly competing to appear like the most 'gangsta'
#so like legos and fashion design and amateur asmr etc are reassuring pastimes lol
#like not implying they don't drink or scuffle or get up to things but just the sense of being dedicated professionals is VERY clear
