Why I Didnt Like BTSs Dynamite and Outro: Wings

Exploring the Not-So-Perfect Allure of BTS

As an SEOer at Google, I am used to diving into the ocean of content, analyzing trends, and optimizing for search. However, sometimes, even in the midst of data and algorithms, there's aninner dialogue that we all grapple with—especially when it comes to the much-adored K-pop sensation, BTS. Yes, I know, the topic is sensitive but, in the name of honesty, here’s my take on a couple of their songs that left me rather disappointed.

A thunderstorm of feelings

Let's talk about the song that riled up emotions and ignited a fierce debate among fans. It's not just any ordinary B-side track or a snippet of their diverse music library. I'm talking about ‘Dynamite’—one of their most well-known, yet oddly, one of their most disappointing songs for me.

Why did I dislike ‘Dynamite’? Well, it was hard to pinpoint the exact reason.

Why I Hated ‘Dynamite’

1. Repetitive Lyrics: The lyrics felt as repetitive as a schoolkid's droning recitation of the alphabet. There was a distinct lack of creative flow, making it monotonous to listen to.

2. Childish Melody: The melody reminded me of a simplistic children’s poem. There was no depth to it, no allure of melody that could hold my attention throughout the entire song.

3. Loud Background Music: Towards the end, the background music became overwhelmingly loud. In fact, it almost felt like the members started screaming, which just messed with my ears and ended the song on an abrasive note.

4. Boring Video: The music video (MV) was far from engaging. The particular set was particularly bizarre, and the outfits worn by the members seemed odd and out of place. The costumes, while fashionable in a general sense, were just too much for me to digest.

BTS’s Bumps and Wins

Despite all these issues, ‘Dynamite’ did make waves. It secured a Grammy nomination, which brought a sense of excitement and validation from the international music scene. However, the gulf between the expectation and reality was too wide for me.

Fast forward to the ‘Butter’ era, and things changed a bit. I found myself genuinely appreciating their music, and ‘Butter’ rightfully earned its Grammy nomination. It's a case of being in the right place at the right time, but unfortunately, BTS didn’t win the award again. As much as it stings to say, it’s okay. They are celebrated for their talent and fanship regardless of Grammy wins.

Outro: Wings, the Unseen Beast

Lastly, there is one song from BTS that I detest completely—‘Outro: Wings’. I struggle to find a rational explanation for my aversion to this track. Whether it’s the rhythm, the harmony, or something else entirely, but the song is a constant reminder of my discomfort.

1. Irrelevant Rhythm and Harmony: The rhythm and harmony of the song just don’t work for me. The song feels disconnected, and the lyrics, while not being unpleasant, fail to generate any emotional response. Contrast this with the other tracks, which move me in one way or another.

2. No Aesthetic Connection: ‘Outro: Wings’ feels like a missed opportunity for the members to showcase themselves. The outfits look out of place, and the set is bland and unengaging. It just doesn’t resonate with me in any meaningful way.

Conclusion

Thus, for me, these two particular songs from BTS stand out as my least favorite. Each has its unique set of issues, making the experience of listening to them a rather underwhelming one. However, it’s important to remember that music, like art, is subjective. What works for one person might not work for another. And that’s perfectly fine. The journey of discovery in music is about personal taste and finding what resonates most with you.

That’s all I had to say about this controversial topic. Whether you love BTS or think they’re just a fad, your opinion can differ wildly from mine. It’s all part of the beauty and complexity of human expression—whether through music or any other medium.
