NO ONE is going to normalize armys not knowing bts’ lyrics. gtfo.

if you only know 40% of bts’ official discography rn, that’s fine, take your time. but don’t try lower the bar for everyone because of your own incomplete journey.

the bts-army r/s is strong because they have a big fandom that listens, respects and supports them. don’t undo that https://twitter.com/epipeny/status/1351418565925117952

For the avoidance of doubt — no one expects you to memorize bts’ lyrics line by line.

Fact is, bts’ lyrics are a huge part of their art. and they want people to hear them. if you don’t wanna hear it from an army, maybe you’ll listen to Joon. https://twitter.com/nanimonanmolla/status/1351308589021978624

1. No one said “All”

2. BTS can mean a lot to you, but if you don’t listen to their lyrics (where they pour their hearts out to us), then you don’t know them.

3. If you only have a 40% working knowledge of their music, you don’t get to build a narrative or influence the fandom. https://twitter.com/adrisml777/status/1351473552827023360

Lol. if anyone’s confused, this whole discourse is about epk h1gh and “shooter armys” who attacked bts’ friends & exposed their own unfamiliarity with bts in the process. armys called it out, others got defensive (“so what, you don’t need to know bts‘ music!”).

and here we are. https://twitter.com/adrisml777/status/1351482301620899840

when i said GTFO, it’s @ the people attempting to normalize not listening to bts’ lyrics like it’s something to be proud of (an “army” who doesn’t hear bts or care about what they have to say )

no one is telling those taking their time to learn about bts to Scram. jfc

im fr tired. oomfs pls help me @ those jumping in without context:

1. no one said “memorize all lyrics line-by-line” or “learn the language”

2. this is a general point about people REFUSING to read lyrics and telling others they don’t have to as well.

that’s it

this applies irl too, but there’s no shame in asking questions if you’re unsure or curious about something. bts’ discography is so extensive, there’s always new stuff to learn.

but if you aren’t interested in that, you’re a casual fan, not army. that’s ok. accept it and move on.
