Hello all, stop being messy. Stop dragging people's faves because of their personal lives. Stop dragging others faves chart performances. ENJOY THE MUSIC. Swifties... Katy and taylor don't get along. Whatever. Enjoy both. Both have bops. Rihanna and Beyonce stans.... why you gotta pit two strong black females against each other? There's room for both! Why you gotta have internalized racism??? Gaga and Britney stans... why on earth are you arguing it makes no sense? Both have bops. i stan taylor but the Teenage Dream album is full of ICONIC BOPS. STOP THE DRAMA. ENJOY THE MUSIC. xoxox. (P.s. This is coming from someone who stans Adele, Taylor, and Beyonce.... aka the people who always slay..... but also stans the indie Grimes, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Banks)
This is a pop music that represents the genre landscape of pop culture. Unfortunately stan mentality, wars, and lingo have all infiltrated pop culture and those of us who aren't persay "stans" just have to learn to adjust. With the rise of the internet and social media, I doubt stan mentality will be going away anytime soon even with the messages of "let's love one another". I view pop fans stanning a girl down as like someone's passion for a sports-team, where the charts are the said stats we bet and then get the consequences.
and tbh the charts has always been an essential component of pop music so ofc a pop culture forum will find charts a heavy point of discussion and influence lol.
I agree with you. Before discovering this website and another fansite I was a regular person who had no idea about charts, sales, success etc. If a song was famous I assumed it was a success and that's it. Literally nobody in the real life knows or cares about all of this. We should just enjoy the music. Sales, charts, peaks etc are just to pretend our fave is better than everybody else for our "stan wars" on internet. This is so immature and childish lol and it ruins everything.
