someone needs to study the effects having an underdog story + self written/produced songs + a “personal” relationship with fans has on a fandom. The most parasocial, obsessive, fiercely defensive and delusional fandoms I’ve ever come across all have that in common (off the top of my head: army, stays, swifties). Every new release is more than a song, it’s a way to strengthen that bond. It’s a message. Idk if I’m making any sense but I find it so creepy.

you're correct... the self-production sales angle creates bonkers loyalty because it creates this false equivalence that critiquing the product = critiquing the idol themselves. the point used to be projecting your own fantasy onto idols...now the fantasy is authentic closeness... imo it's an outgrowth of social media closing the gap between fan and idol and the fan desire/expectation for authenticity from idols. i mean jyp mentioned that closing gap when he talked about forming stray kids - he said specifically that fans can now "tell" when members aren't close so he wanted a group that was authentically close to use their friendship as marketing. and it works like girl look at this blog
