Kpop - Here's Why I Like BLACKPINK

Warning: this blog post contains genuine emotion and soulful reminiscing. Read at your own peril.  

Obviously Nayeon's Vibrator (fka AKF) fucking hates BLACKPINK, while I feel generally positive about them. Here's why I feel the way I do, as has been made clear to me by this video.

I just really miss 2NE1, you guys. That's the whole thing. I would happily watch a piece of lettuce rap if it reminded me of golden era CL.

 

CL was the woman who got me into kpop. I thought she was soooo cool, and so early 2NE1 will always hold a special place in my heart, especially Fire. So that terrible mashup of Boombayah and Fire really made me realize why I'm so excited about BLACKPINK. I know in my heart that Teddy has lost his edge, that their yolo-swag crap is grating at best, that YG can't manage girl groups for shit.

But I want to love them so badly. Remember when you first heard "I go by the name of CL of 2NE1"? When you sing-screamed along with them when they sang "I think I'm ugly and nobody wants to love me"? Maybe I'm the only one who heard this music at a vulnerable point in my life and felt empowered and understood, but I doubt it.

So I understand if you want to compare YG's latest efforts to festering genitalia. But I'm gonna hold out hope that BLACKPINK manages to capture what 2NE1 captured before they started releasing absolute garbage and CL fled to America. It's unlikely, I know. But I want to believe, don't you?
