BTSPop

BTSPop or btspop is a term used by armys to describe BTS' discography and music. armys who use this term call themselves btspoppers. this term has various origins and reasons. in 2018, kpop fans on twitter stated that BTS are ‘banned’ from the k-pop genre after creating a petition, claiming that they no longer wanted BTS or ARMY to be associated with k-pop because they are too ‘westernized’ and because of the many fights armys and kpop fans have. as a response, armys have declared their independence and were officially no longer kpop stans, the Army Independence day is on October 14. and therefore, BTS' name was no longer attached to the kpop genre. but this term is not only used by armys. in fact, bts themselves stated clearly that the genre is BTS. in their interview with the grammys in 2020, yoongi said: "I think it's less and less meaningful to divide music into genres now". Jungkook, taehyung and hoseok added: "The genre is BTS. That's the genre we want to make and the music that we want. New genre" countless of articles were written about bts being their own genre and how they are no longer considered a k-pop act and them being "above k-pop and in a league of their own". and regardless of what people think or disagree with the use of this term. it is no doubt that bts are actually in a league of their own, above k-pop and cannot be defined by a particular genre but made their own genre that defines them and their musical approach
