I don't see there success and relative quality of this song as any different than what many of us consumed as children/teens when Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney, Christina, etc. were brand new and selling millions of CDs.
Anyone who shits on this sees the Teen Pop booms of the past with too much nostalgia...

Disagree. It's just generic, trend-hopping garbage that in my opinion at least, isn't even that catchy. Also, groups like the Backstreet Boys or NSYNC never went for a failed attempt at melodrama.

The negative attitude on this forum is laughably at odds with the generally positive response BTS is getting Stateside and beyond. Like, if you don't like it, move on, but rooting for it to fail? Feels odd and like something about it is really getting under your skin — a sign of repressed interest. This article is also really interesting! www.vulture.com/2018/06/a-deeper-look-at-why-bts-has-thrived-in-america.html"For the first time, an Asian act is leading the conversation."

I also feel like it's a lot better than that stuff, and this is as someone who enjoyed some of that back when we were kids. To me, this is way more sophisticated and it's kind of annoying to see it casually regarded this way and to see people not try to explore past that, but I get that the public image of the fanbase (even though many fans are 25+ and way beyond) creates assumptions.

I was referring to the music itself, not the press surrounding it. This brand of K-pop is about melodrama.

Never really liked the original version. On the other hand, this "rock" version sounds so much better. The electric guitar and drums really add another layer to an otherwise generic song.

After listening to it in one of the poll offs, I kinda like this now.

They should do a remix with a rapper like Cardi B or Kendrick Lamar might give this a huge boost.

Mexicans Are Streaming K-Pop Group BTS So Much, They’re Shooting Up the iTunes Mexico ChartMexican K-Pop fans have had a rollercoaster of a week. When the nation of their idols clashed against their birth country in the World Cup, they had a bit of an existential crisis – who should they root for?
But today, after South Korea stopped Germany from advancing in the group stage and saved Mexico from elimination, it seemed like the entire nation of Mexico was suddenly a BTS fan. So much so, that the K-Pop juggernaut’s single “Fake Love” shot up 31 spots on the iTunes Mexico chart.
