wow thank you so much
#this is aoa's official youtube. it has 20 million views. :')#also this is the performance version of 'ai wo choudai' and like. God the choreo is . ooughw :(#it is So bland. this is one of The Songs Ever to me. and the choreo is giving Nothing.#it's not even... a decent sexy choreo. bcus this is so rooted in the era of kpop girlies either give cute - sexy or badass#yeah i Know it released in 2016 but aoa stayed true to their roots to the end lol. and 2016 was the tide changing anywya.#honestly the trichotemy was pretty bad but i tended to enjoy anything that fell under the 'sexy' label. the BEst bangers came outta that#(exid i lvoe you. sistar i love you. stellar i love you. fiestar i lvoe you. hellovenus i lo)#and. oh i feel terrible saying this. i would rather have the miserable trichotomy than most groups giving#~feminism~ through the lens of misogyny. it's like. Feminism but make it marketable and tell young women this is Fine#also softcore queerbaiting.#like every Knew the trichotemy was misogynist af. i didn't have to read posts saying that blackpink gave women rights#okay actually. wait. people were genuinely saying things like hyuna's red were feminsit anthems weren't they. okay nvm#i think the bar for 'progressive' is so low in kpop that it is in hell. to be honest.#like we have and have had more progressive thigns in music videos and lyrics in mainstream kpop#mostly from soloists or solo work from band members#moonbyul's shutdown is. clearly about having sex with a woman.#brown eyed girls' abracadabra is okay.... YES the angling is steeped in male gaze#but having a clearly wlw relationship in the mv Was iconic for the era. still is mroe brazen than most mvs dare to be.#also that sistar one where they kill a man together and run off being fruity.#one mroe day! that one!#so yknow. shoutout to the actual icons.#loftwinglullaby rambles#kpop
