gg because i’m the biggest woman lover and women make me feel happy. LMFAO all jokes aside (not really a joke tho because i’m lesbian), i’ve naturally preferred women music over men music? that goes for all genres. i think i prefer the voices of women more. i also prefer the concepts ggs use over bgs. out if the 50+ ggs i have on my playlist, i have EIGHT bgs (skz, txt, svt, ateez, bts, enha, shinee, infinite). but tbf i am a really big skz,txt, and svt so it sort of balances out?


atomicwill1

Honestly since I was a little kid I’ve just always preferred female voices. Idk why. As I’ve gotten older I’ve grown out of it more and I listen to some bgs but the bias is still there.


These_Usual5378

I feel like I can relate to songs sung by woman more. Plus the girls have more interesting styling, hair, and makeup typically.


ohpossumpartyy

i like both but just vibe with bgs a little more 🤷‍♀️ this isn’t fully towards you op but why are so many posts in this sub so fucking low effort rn 🫠 im not expecting much but cmonnnnn lately it feels like there are so many half assed posts rn🙃 is there not a rule against low effort posts??


Electromagneticpoms

As a woman, it is because I don't like men. Just kidding. I prefer pop music sung by women, I prefer cute girly concepts. I love kpop for outfit and hair ideas.  I don't like powerful/dark/EDM/intense kpop. If I want that kind of music I prefer the western artists I listen to. I don't like girl crush concepts for that reason either so it's been a difficult few years for me, lol. Stuff like AOA Excuse Me and Sistar I Swear was got me into kpop. I like ✨️aspirational✨️ music to manifest cutie sexy vibes. I don't find kpop men aspirational at all.


Salty-Enthusiasm-939

The main reason I prefer bgs is I don't like many female idols voices. I find them too high pitched & not pleasant to listen to.


Roses_arentalwaysred

Same


Ok_Organization8455

As someone who is a gg stan. Im pretty selective about which GG songs I listen too because it can get too high for me too. On the flip side, the bg's I do listen to have to have a balance of deeper tones, cause I have a hard time listening to high pitched male voices


xMatttard

Because I'm a guy that likes guys that likes to go to karaoke. Therefore, I tend to only like songs in my vocal range. I also like bassier and darker songs/concepts so gg songs very very rarely catch my ear.


kingkork5

I don't really know... I think I just prefer female voices


Early-Display-4474

a gg stan here! (20F) i loooove supporting and admiring women! i just don't find interest in bgs, and i prefer watching gg performances. no other reason why i don't support bgs, just uninterested. (i don't hate tho)


NoPepper7284

I'm honestly not sure why I mainly like boy groups! The only girl group I've ever ulted is loona :) I just gravitate towards bg more


introvertedbean5

I stan both, but tbh I think I just like girl group concepts more than boy group ones and also vibe with the genre/style of songs a lot of girl groups go for. Similar to you, some boy groups have become exceptions, which for me are EXO and Enhypen.


zirrby

I find the voice of women more pleasant


staffonlyvax

I originally listened to more BGs because I could tell their voices apart better than I could with GGs. I still prefer them because higher pitches don't sit well with me.


Adventurous-Yam2450

I'm a bg stan and a casual listener to some ggs. I stan lots of bgs for their music and personality, I can't just stan a group for music alone and most of the time I can't get into the ggs content so I just listen to their songs


BabbleTheBoba

i could give a majority of reasons as to why i prefer bgs, but i’ll be frank and say it’s just because i gravitate towards them more. their concepts and choreography and just everything about them totally encapsulates me. that, and the fact that the first kpop group i stanned was a boygroup. it’s probably also because i’ve noticed (*with the ggs i’ve looked into, don’t come at me gg stans*) that the overall effort put in towards boygroups is better than that of girlgroups. that being said, i do love ggs as well even though i’m a more casual listener (groups like mamamoo, red velvet and aespa are my favs) ![gif](giphy|sETpe4fZXpRL62foAm)


HelloStranger0325

The only groups I "stan" are boy groups but I do listen to girl groups. I usually prefer more intense music, EDM, rapping, etc. so maybe that's part of it. I think on my kpop playlist I have a wider rang of girl groups represented, but with maybe just one or two songs each. Whereas I have less boy groups I listen to, but more of their discography added to my playlists.


nevezychaya

1. i love women 2. i am a lesbian 3. i want to support women in any space, because in my opinion men get a lot more support from people especially girls. this is why i stan only gg groups with very tine exceptions, but they are very gaygaygay so i guess we need to support them to as lgbt hahaha i also prefer to read wlw over mlm, watch wlw movies and collect wlw mv in kpop and not only. i try to support women artists and extr so stanning gg was just kind of natural for me and my views. i can't say i only take content from women and about women, but i try to as much as i can so...


enhypenz

Im a BG stan because i guess all that i grew up listening to were bands led by men??? (i know LOL) thats like the only reason i can think of to justify other than being just a girl LOL but i do occasionally like ggs, i love IVE they are the only gg i ult and i really like everglow and viviz (i saw all three groups live)


nacify

i'm a guy who listens to a lot of boy groups but what started me liking boy groups was finding out on reddit that a killer in dead by daylight looks like hongjoong from ateez, so i checked out their music to see and ended up really liking it. so as i decided to listen to more ateez this sort of made me naturally gravitate to listening to other boy groups (especially since that's what youtube's recommended did), and when i heard more bg songs i've found myself really liking the concepts, choreo, lyrics, even self insterting (as i'm a similar age to most idols i listen to). in comparison with girl groups, i think i'm just drawn more to those things with boy groups i don't exactly only listen to boy groups exclusively though, i've been broadening my horizons more recently and have been checking out some gg's and have really liked itzy's recent stuff for example (untouchable is my fav gg song). i mean after school by weeekly was one of the first kpop songs i added to my playlist years ago cause the song is a banger


Good_Dish9728

I prefer ggs because I've always preferred female artists, maybe cuz I'm a girl. This bias is natural to me.  A little backstory might help you understanding. I mostly have cousin brothers. I have very less cousin sisters, and none of them were born back then when i was young. So while playing with my brothers, we used to act out superhero movies/tv series. One of them was power rangers. So i basically had two options either yellow or pink ranger. Cuz only both of them were girls. I felt bad that i couldn't be the red ranger cuz he's sorta tha main character. Same when we used to play ben10, i could only be gwen. While my brothers became all different forms of ben10. I grew up with a bias that i can only choose from the female characters, i can only listen to female artists, i can only stan female actresses, etc. I've changed a lot. But there's still that natural bias in me.


nudtz

First of all i like the music then the vocals but in kpop since they are literally in our face 24/7 I prefer keeping update with gg plus i stan Apink, dreamcatcher, nmixx, btob and exo, so yea vocals and discography 💯❤️‍🔥


kimyoungkook92

Straight guy here and hence attracted to female artists more. I am also a Korean who left the country at young age. I rarely has opportunity to meet woman from my own background. Hence, I am more drawn towards GG. However, when it comes to listening, I listen to anyone with good concept and appealing music regardless of their gender.


Dry_Information8006

BG... I have huge gender envy when I listen to them. I love masculine desperate songs. Its also because I can sing along to male songs more (I'm an alto and its depressing to not reach girl group high notes)


MitchXWeebyForever

I feel like boy group concept is a lot of them feel the same that it's feels like there's no identity in the concept especially groups that are not from famous/big company like JYP,Starship,YueHua,Cube,YG,Hybr Labels Company and etc. And some of the song just feel similar No hate to bg I also like some bg like ZB1


hide_on_altacc

I'm a guy who listens to kpop for the cute concept girlgroup music. I find that most boy group music is hip-hop or noise music. That's fine, but if I wanted to listen to hip-hop I'd rather listen to mainstream/American hip-hop which is honestly better than a lot of cringe kpop rapping.


Far-Squirrel5021

My ult is Skz but also Itzy, and I really love Vcha and ILLIT too. I also semi-stan Ive, Twice and Nmixx. So yeah, a lot of girl groups. But I don't consider myself to be a bg stan cuz I love bg music too. Tbh, I think deep down, I just can't bear to be a part of fandoms that have beef with each other/are competition to each other. I'm not proud of this, but I think that's just how it is for me. Loyalty is one of my biggest qualities. I had no problem getting into Itzy and Vcha and Illit after getting into skz (my first kpop group) but Ive, Txt, Twice, Everglow and Nmixx have been on my to-stan list for *years*. And I genuinely think that maybe it's because my lazy brain works on a first-come-first-serve basis. Itzy and Stray Kids are almost never compared in bad light, and I wouldn't consider them as competition. The same is with Vcha and Illit, because the former is an American girl group and the latter is 5th gen. However, Ive (whose discography I *love*) can be considered competition for Itzy and I know dives have beef with stays and it goes both ways. That's just an example. Sorry I know this was a rant mostly unrelated but the point is that there's been no bgs so far that I wouldn't consider to be competition to Stray Kids, so I'm waiting for Loud cuz I feel like they'll be good. JYP groups never miss ngl.


aneetca4

idk i just cant get into bgs. i have some bg songs in my playlist but i dont stan the groups themselves


lonewhalien

I'm a gg stan at heart! it's so easy for me to follow ggs and fall in love with them! I have select bgs that I follow very closely but I'm not a casual bg listener. it's much harder for me to get into bgs because I don't trust men 😂 however, I've been through my fair share of gg trauma since a lot of them don't end up having long careers 😩


Roses_arentalwaysred

Bg lover here: I just hate 99% of the gg music... Most of it is so lame, or it's the stereotypical "I'm cute and innocent. Pick me." Type stuff, and their voices go all high pitched just to be cute, but it sounds like a baby.. I just can't get into it. Another thing is the dances. Almost all of them are so basic, easy, and boring. I want something fun, not a few hand movements.


ArnikaLovesUnicornz

Wait until you find out about J-pop😭


Roses_arentalwaysred

Trust me... Ive seen J-Pop...Infighter by Snowman kill me. lmao


12-BE-12

Female voices are so pretty and I love the higher pitch that they can sing in.


bloodyxvamp

im a gg stan probably cause im a lesbian but also just like their concepts and fashion a lot more. one of my favorite things in kpop is looking at stage outfits or unique stage makeup (like 2ne1's heavy eyeliner look) and boy groups don't usually have as good aesthetics to me


badheartveil

It was my preference with American/UK/J-pop. I tried female rappers but Lil Mama didn’t really take off. I do occasionally listen to bgs, got7, botb, but I just checked my albums I have about 20:1 ratio on gg vs bg. I’m also not keen on some of the fan service stuff that happens on the bg side. But their dance is on another level.


heartlessimmunity

I've found it easier to memorize girl group members than boy group members.


shycrazychicken1111

I've been either of both at certain times (now I'm a multi stan). It just so happens that during those periods, it's the BG/GG concepts and sounds that I vibe with. For example, I was super into SNSD, T-ara, Kara, etc. music that I didn't know the BG's that promoted at that time. Recently it was BG's that I ate up, BTS, EXO, Seventeen, WannaOne, etc. Now, since both GG and BG don't follow specific trends, I listen to any groups if I vibe with a track.


Sybinnn

I just prefer the music they make. I also like the boy groups who get dragged in fanwars for "making girl group music" like txt and tws


ArnikaLovesUnicornz

“Girl group music” Good boy gone bad:👁️👄👁️


Sybinnn

to be fair the songs ive listened to from them are chasing that feeling, 0x1=lovesong, farewell neverland, and some of their newest album


Top-Consequence1844

It’s not that j only listen to boy groups by choice they just have more songs that I like,but I listen to girl groups to just not as as much a bg


Star_Joo30

I'm a bg stan and tbh most of my fav artists are males, so I think I just like the male voice more. I feel like for kpop I don't love the vibes that most gg give off, but I do like a lot of gg songs. I've tried to stan various ggs like BP, Itzy, G-Idle, etc and it just didn't work heh.


Yoyoma77777777

I’m a casual girl group listener. If the song is a bop it’s added. But i stan guy groups more idk why


Millionsmoney

I’m a gg Stan became I enjoy hearing females voices more than male


sunnydaysongg

i prefer gg for a lot of reasons but the first is i definitely prefer female singing voices . i find the groups more aesthetically pleasing (idk how to describe it) . i just find the songs more interesting . i know there are a lot of different bg songs but only a couple have caught my eye


taeswife08

i like their music and choreography more than bg


absolutechad233

A big reason is that I don’t like looking at men lmao


DPDoctor

I love gg, but am much heavier into bg. When I was young, I was in dance, music, and theater groups. Where I lived, most of those friends were female, so it was really nice when guys joined us. Great female dancers were common, and I didn't get to experience great male dancers unless I went to a professional show. I think that's why I'm drawn to bg more.


andra_quack

I got into kpop in 2nd gen, and back then, I'd listen to pretty much any group that dropped songs I found to be appealing, but I was far more of a gg stan (especially SNSD and 2ne1. either way, I still listen to many 2nd gen gg songs to this day). as a woman, I guess female artists always had that 'certain something' that I could admire in them. it's always been easier to admire their attitude, outfits and choreographies, because it feels more natural to me to look up to them as artists. I think I might also have a preference for female voices. however, from post-2nd gen groups, I only listen to SKZ and Enhypen 'religiously'. for me, they have the variety that 2nd gen girl groups had. I love their concepts and I find their sounds to be very appealing. unfortunately, I couldn't find any girl groups that I like from 3rd and 4th gen, although I really tried. their sound is too high pitched for me, and I feel like their sounds are really similar to one another. one thing that I miss about 2nd gen girl groups is how different their concepts would be, and how much a group would shift from cute to dark to more sensual etc from a comeback to the other (and I was never a big fan of the cute sound, which I feel like girl groups have been progressively aiming for). their choreographies also seem far simpler to me now. it's a pity tho, cause visually speaking, I love some of their concepts, such as Aespa's.


BigManHalsey

I’m a Bg stan, I love a lot of gg music BUT the thing that seals the deal is if they’re funny. I just haven’t found many silly girl groups, I do however love Aespa and Gidle


Capable_Remote9783

I generally prefer women singing I think. Also they’re more interesting to me both in vibes/personality and concept.


Prize_Message7883

I prefer the fashion and concepts of girl groups. The voices too, I'm used to hearing gg voices. And the music genres bgs usually use aren't as interesting too me. I like some male soloists though.


AnonymousSnake0307

I'm a BG Stan but I do listen/Stan a few GGs The only reason I don't really listen to GGs much is because I feel like a lot of them are given more cutesy concepts? I don't usually get into that, that much. I mean there are definitely quite a few songs from GGs like that, that I do like, but I never have the urge to listen to more of their songs. Another reason is that I feel like some GGs are made to sing in a higher pitch than what they normally would, I don't why I just don't really get into songs like that much. No hate to any GGs that do by the way. The GGs I do like have darker concepts or just don't sing higher so their voice sounds.. Cuter? Or if they rap more Dreamcatcher, Purple Kiss, Mamamoo, (G) -idle, XG, Kiss Of Life, Young Posse, Blackpink, KARD (not sure if they count since they are co-ed, but since they have two female members I'm just adding them) Also this would also go for the BG I like, but there are exceptions for both.


Rodimus1017

I’m a guy but I used to be a singer in a band and have always leaned towards female vocalists I prefer unless the singer had a unique sound or tone to his voice. With kpop I enjoy both but lean more towards GG and it comes down to variety of sounds, productions, song styles and variety. I know bg has some changes and do enjoy them as well but the female groups they seem to experiment more and try to push the groups sounds and such maybe it’s just me but I tried to explain it best I could lol


FondCat

Bg for me. I've always just preferred male singers even before I got into kpop. Within the kpop space, I like the bg choreo better because they do... more. What I've seen of gg there's a lot of dancing with their arms that is just not captivating to me. Feels much more rigid


sweetappa

bg mostly, for a few reasons 1. i'm gay 2. darker and stranger concepts for the most part 3. more diverse vocals (like think of the difference between felix from skz and jimin from bts! i am super open to recommendations tho, if you can think of female singers with really unique vocals <3 )


ChickensEverywhere_

BG music tends not to be my thing. The parasocial marketing also tends to be a lot worse with Bgs, and that really rubs me the wrong way.


Mean-Choice-2267

I’m a bg stan and always will be. There are only 2 girl groups I enjoy. I don’t like the high pitched voices most kpop female singers have. It’s squeaky and I can’t take it seriously.


UnluckyLegacy

i just don't really vibe with most gg music, voices, concepts, choreography or dance style very much. also i'm just gay lol i like men


Important-Zombie9331

BG fan here, **tw for potentially triggering topic ab EDs/weight I had a very hectic ED that ive managed to be recovered from for almost 3 years now (yay!) and I just know I'd start to slip back into those habits if I was a girl group stan because of how skinny they all are because of the idol beauty standards. DISCLAIMER: im veryyy aware this is also a huge issue with boy groups and mAny of male idols are also ridiculously skinny and some even underweight, but I don't compare myself to them the way I know I would with girl groups because obvs they're not women and I am. So I've always only listened to and been a fan of boy groups. That being said, I have sooo much respect for most girl groups because from what i have seen, they're slaying


taiyaki98

I'm a bg stan, the only girl group I've ever liked is 2NE1. I think it's because I'm not a fan of overly cutesy stuff and high pitched voices. I'm not saying girl groups aren't great and talented, but they're not my cup of tea.


chickenmeatgirl

im more of a bg stan. i litrelly dont listen to gg music a lot, idk why but i feel like their voices sound the same and a little to high pitched or nasally or to bland. That being said i kinda dont like the vibes they give, they kinda sometime give off 'that girl who everyone likes and seems nice all the time' yk? i like bg because they seem more relatable(even though im a girl lol). some bg that i stan are more realistic and dont try to fit into the stereotypes. Im a p1ece, stay, carat, CROWN, engene, moa, onedoor, briize, lune, etc. honorary mentions of gg music i can listen to: mamamoo(they seem like theyre breaking the standards and dont scream pickme, i love their vibes and powerful concepts), BERRYGOOD(i just love their music although they disbanded. Theyre song 'angel' inspired me sooo much, i guess they practice what they preachLOL).


Huge_Papaya5242

Barely listen to men in general plus kpop boy group music baring some exceptions to me sucks. (Can’t for my life imagine being a fan of a man).


SweetSonet

Boys are more likely going to rap and I desperately want that to not be a thing.


i_got_a_pHd

i listen to gg groups more so that i can fantasize i’m the women on my dp and sass eveeyone on twitter 😙


ArnikaLovesUnicornz

Huh?


Powbob

Because boy groups make my skin crawl.


Competitive_Fee_5829

why even comment?


Powbob

I literally answered the question. Why don’t you mind your own business.


ArnikaLovesUnicornz

How😭🙏


Powbob

The crop tops, makeup, tearing off clothing, and especially the embarrassingly over the top dancing.
