You probably think these are shit as well + Show Spoiler + Japan has a much different taste in regards to pop than both Korea and the West. I think the producers and marketing team have done an amazing job. Great contrasting colors, crazy chorus...perfect for where they are promoting. I think SM know how to get things done... | ||

Some of these comments are the harshest I've read for a while. All I'm saying is they are promoting in Japan, and marketing Japanese-influenced songs. So when people are calling it the worst song ever and complete trash, at least keep that in perspective... | ||

It's old and way to many people saying the same stupid things. dude spoilers? @ Shival ........yes I agree with you, shit other than the music is important. However when you're talking about how a song sounds their concept doesn't really apply, etc. You're just talking about how the song sounds. So when I'm walking down the street listening to "I don't know", for example, the fact that it's their debut and they wore pink flowery dresses has no bearing on how it sounds. It's why I wouldn't play Bubble Pop when walking down the street, because I like BP because Hyuna pops her ass and not because it's a good song. That's why, while "flower power" may be a good move to promote in Japan, I won't be paying any more attention to the song. So yes, if I was making the statement "Flower Power is trash" in a discussion about whether "Flower Power" is a good popularity move for SNSD, I might be being narrow-minded. But in a discussion about whether I like the song or not, that shit doesn't really matter. | ||

Nothing can change someones opinion on whether they think a song is bad or not. I'm just trying to explain the circumstances in which it was made and it's intended purpose. It's clear they are trying to approach the Japanese market in their own unique way influenced by Japanese culture. The bigger picture plays a crucial role in the MV and song, so just keep that in mind.... Having said that, ofc you can say the song is shit. If you do not like the music then it's fine. Just look at the big picture is what I'm saying... EDIT: @ DystopiaX^^ exactly | ||

Also the rest of The Boys album was good imo. People talk about the last Korean stuff being bad because they think of the one song that was promoted but it had songs like Oscar, Trick, Sunflower and How Great is your Love which I thought were great. | ||

I've seen comments saying SNSD is going downhill and then quoting a few of their recents songs while never putting into context the region the song is meant for. I think that's what firehand and I are trying to convey. | ||

And for the record--I, too, find it a rather bad song. Learn to read between the lines (though this is no great subtlety) when people say that a song is bad, and assume that it means "I think it's bad", not "this song is absolutely bad by any measure, and anybody who thinks otherwise is not right in the head". I suppose you could extend the latter statement to qualify that it's your opinion that it's true, but whatever, you get what I mean. Usually I'll say "I think" etc anyway though lol. | ||
