And I almost co-sign, but SPY ruined it all for me.
Replace it by Bonamana, No Other or Gulliver.

Sweety, SM doesn't promote f(x) to the same degree as their other groups because f(x) doesn't bring in the same kind of revenue as their other groups. They're like SM's U-KISS. They have good songs, but the public just isn't here for them like that. Why would SM waste time and resources investing in f(x) when they know they can have better results with a group like Shinee, Exo or SNSD?

He didn't just state his opinion. He came for Exo out of nowhere.

Every stanbase thinks their act is the best so why can't f(x) stans think their fave's music is better than yours
Also, f(x) had the second best selling album for a girl group of 2013
take a couple of seats.

Not really. Making a couple posts in a K-pop thread about these delusional posts =\= "caring so much"
Majority of the people who now like Red Light had to listen to the song a plethora of times before they "liked" it myself included. If you have to listen a song 20 times to like it are you really gonna try and say it's the best song? Logically no.
If it wasn't f(x) you wouldn't have forced yourself to listen to the song multiple times.
And the problem isn't f(x) fans think f(x) makes the best music. It's actively trying to say their music is better than other groups. Saying "fx makes the best music!" Is different from saying "fx makes much better music than xxx"
If you can't understand that, that's not my problem.
And lastly, f(x) sell well for a girl group but compared to all other SM groups their sales are complete ****. Take out hybrid SM Stan's who Stan f(x) primarily because they're in SM and f(x) would hardly have any stans left.

profitable & marketable doesn't necessarily mean they have better music does it now

Y'all are SO bothered over this f(x) thing, jfc.
If you like them more than EXO, cool. If you don't like them, cool. If you think Red Light is the auditory portion of the ritual used to summon Satan, la di freakin da. Just please shut up about it because their album comes out tonight and I don't want there to be a sour mood in here when that happens. Good-night Kiss and make up, [kids].

But it's sort of a chicken and egg scenario isn't it? How is f(x) going to possibly bring in more revenue if SM doesn't promote them?  How could they be expected to bring in the money EXO and GG do when they only release an album a year with no repacks? SM goes out of their way to milk all their other groups, either with repacks, japanese releases, live albums and DVD's, etc.
And if anything SM releasing two versions of Red Light proves they do think f(x) could be a valuable resource. They obviously saw what a success Pink Tape was and decided to do more for them this time. Not to mention f(x)'s album sales have only gone up with each album, so excuse me if I'm not QUITE getting the U-Kiss comparisons

I used to think Suju was bad, but they kinda slay if you forget about Shitdong.

Well you did have something to say every time f(x) got brought up so I figured you cared about them as much as their stans do.
Did anyone ever say Red Light was the best song ever?
The most I've seen is "Red Light is their best song" which, is their harmless opinion.
And how is f(x) stans thinking their faves making better music than anyone is a problem.
I've seen delusional SONEs, Blackjacks, Shawols, and literally ever other fanbase say that about their faves and that's really none of my problem is it
Uh, why would f(x) be compared to "all other SM groups" 
Even when 2NE1 and SISTAR are considered a "top tier girl group", it's a known fact that female groups don't sell as much as male groups (and SNSD is a special case for being a "National Girl Group".
and you also don't have any receipts to prove
"Take out hybrid SM Stan's who Stan f(x) primarily because they're in SM and f(x) would hardly have any stans left."  .
But I mean those SM hybrid stans really didn't like CSJH cuz they had to get locked up and sent into the deepest parts of the SM dungeon

for the record I'm obviously joking about Suju, I love songs like "Don't Don" and "A Man in Love" and "Sexy, Free & Single"
not joking about CP though

But honey don't come for U-Kiss just like that, I mean they did only this year released a Japanese album, Two Korean mini, and also Soohyun is having a solo, while Kevin is having his TV show and AJ is getting graduated, I mean is anyone from SM can put that off, and I'm not talking about releasing 4 time the same album.
While NHMedia is preparing the female UKISS, normally debuting this year or maybe next year. Seeing how Jun can perform (he is a reject from Bigstar), I'm sure they have more trainee under their agency ready to debut.

My comment wasn't on f(x)'s music — It was over his "godly" remark. I clearly said in my last post that f(x) have good songs.

Of course it's not serious, but my thing is, if you're comfortable with your group, you wouldn't have to drop names and compare them to xxx. Exo and SNSD have nothing to do with f(x), but if he has to target the best to make his faves look better...well, I guess that just comes with being a top tier group.
