BBMAs (since 2023)

Grammys (new)
look at when all of this started happening...but sure, kpop twt will tell you bts did nothing for the asian market lol
it’s insane how in a couple of years kpop artists will start winning grammys bc of the new asian category and their fans will still look you in the eyes and say it wasn’t bts that paved the way and made it way easier for their favs to get global recognition… baby we made you
just want to remind people bts broke into the western industry when there was no space for them. kpop idols joined the industry after space was made for them due to bts’ impact. the grammys would’ve never made that category if it wasn’t for bts.
bey won #they introduced contemporary country category, bad bunny won #they introduced latin category, tyla won #they introduced afrobeats category, and now bts released the biggest album of this year #they introduced asian category. u see the fucking pattern.
“creating a new category just so bts do not win the main categories at the grammys”
the music industry keeps proving why BTS made aliens as an asian artist
@PopBase here i'll reword it for you:
"the GRAMMYs are introducing their first asian category as a form of cultural segregation isolating asian artists into a separate category while excluding greater talent from outside their country & making the industry revolve around themselves" ❤️
its about time people stop giving grammys the significance and importance it doesn't deserve, the racism and the irony of the situation in big 2026 is absolutely boiling my blood and the fact some brain dead ppl cant grasp the reality
If you’re a man, and your takeaway from the movie was that Nikki represented a crazy girlfriend, saw her as the villain, or you sympathized with Bear… women should avoid you at ALL COSTS.
