Idol fire on the battlefield of music
Every time an idol group releases a new song, there is a fierce debate on the Internet about whether it is ugly or not, as if a silent war is spreading in every corner of the music industry.
Some netizens were puzzled and asked, why do some people call it ugly, while some people are addicted to it on social platforms?
Perhaps, this is not just about the aesthetic differences of music, but more like a sign that people draw each other as a prison through their musical tastes, marking their unique social identities.
Idol groups, especially girl groups, are always subject to controversy of one kind or another when they release new songs. From the innovation of the genre to the execution of the concept, from the production of the MV to the pop trend of the song, every detail can become the focus of criticism.
However, doesn't this show the diversity and vitality of idol culture? Every controversy and discussion undoubtedly promotes the evolution of idol culture and the thinking of fan groups.
Some netizens joked: "Every time a new song is released, I can see fans 'firing', which is even more exciting than a TV series." ”
The story behind the stage

Although Starship Entertainment's new songs "Heya" and "Accendio" were once bombarded by netizens, saying that it was difficult to hear, many fans defended them on social platforms, and even did not hesitate to play the MV in a loop many times, just to find the neglected beauty from it.
This phenomenon reminds people that the power of idols lies not only in the music itself, but also in the loyalty and support of fans to idols.
With the dual role of fans and music itself, whether a track can succeed often depends not only on professional evaluation, but also on the actual actions of fans.
There will also be heated debates among fans. On the one hand, there are those who believe that the new song lacks originality and that the imitation traces are too heavy to make an impression.
On the other hand, there are also fans who support it, believing that this is a manifestation of the team's courage in exploring new directions and should be encouraged. On social media, a netizen said: "I've listened to "Heya" ten times, and now I'm humming even when I sleep, I can't tell if this is brainwashing or true love." ”
Stylistic innovation or aesthetic collapse

"Accendio" does not have a music video, which seems to disappoint fans a little. As a visual carrier of a song, the MV can sometimes even decide the fate of a song.
While the music video for "Heya" has managed to change some people's attitudes after many plays, "Accendio" lacks such an opportunity, making it a bit bleak in the crowd of new songs.
In this era of looking at faces, songs without MVs seem to be like soulless shells, and it is difficult to touch the heartstrings of listeners.
The word-of-mouth of music is often polarized and extreme. Some netizens said that although "Heya" tried to break the stereotype and explore new styles, there was a big gap between the music and expectations that were finally presented.
They expressed their dissatisfaction with humorous language: "When I hear "Heya", I want to ask Starship Entertainment, is there only 'shuffle play' left in your music library?"
As for "Accendio", opinions are also polarized, with some people feeling that the lack of music videos is a pity, while others think that it is a reflection of returning to the essence of music and not being swayed by the fancy of the outside world.
Stars or homogenization?
When more groups such as IVE and SEVENTEEN are caught up in the whirlpool of "ugly" labels, people can't help but ask, is this because of the problem of the music work itself, or is it a change in the audience's aesthetics?
In the star-studded K-pop world, each group is striving to create their own unique image and style in hopes of standing out from the fierce competition. But in the process, it is inevitable that the works will be subjected to the shock wave of different opinions.
Netizens also found fun in the debate, with some jokingly saying, "The K-pop world is simply a big 'battle royale', every team wants to be the final winner, but in the end, the netizens in the comment section are the real winners." ”
Every argument has become a platform for netizens to exchange ideas and show their personalities.
A multifaceted mirror of music
This controversy around the label "ugly" is not just an evaluation of the musical work, it is more like a mirror, reflecting the expectations and disappointments of the listener.
Everyone has a ruler in their hearts to evaluate music, but the scale of this ruler varies from person to person. In this controversial age of music, every discussion, every comment, every label is constantly shaping and reshaping the meaning of music.
Let us face these debates with humor, let controversy be the driving force for music, and let different voices work together to compose a multicultural harmony.
