me when i make a spreadsheet of every single bts song (from group albums) and assign each song a category based on theme/message and then calculate how many songs are in each category and what total percentage of bts songs each category makes up

#my autism levels are off the charts #fr though it was fun i actually did most of the categorizing a couple months ago i just finally got around to Calculating Stuff tonight #(while acknowledging that my categories are subjective and open to interpretation i did my best to reflect the essences of the songs)#anyway according to my calculations the top 3 categories/themes of bts songs are:#reflective/confessional at ~24%; love (romantic) at ~21%; love (general) at ~10%#that last category is for songs where the relationship to the subject is either not directly specified or is platonic #it does include some songs which are often interpreted through a romantic lens #but the lyrics don't directly reference romantic love and they could easily be applied to any type of close relationship #despite these songs commonly being known as romantic i have also seen many people talk about how #the lyrics of those songs reminded them not of a romantic partner but of a close friend or family member or even the love between bts+army #so i wanted a category for songs that acknowledge the intensity/importance of love that's not necessarily romantic #for me this whole thing really just hammered home the fact that categorizing and quantifying non-numerical data is really fucking hard #if anyone is as nerdy as i am and wants to hear more about this i will gladly provide btw im really nice #aeron.txt
