Thread 128278097

So why’s this board so dead now? The multiple popping K-pop generals going on 24/7, what is that, bots? Are the jannies just bribed? I don’t understand it. This is the hardest fall, by far, any of the hobby boards have taken

Too many retards.

praise /shugazi/ it's a good day on the boards when /shugazi/ is alive

>The multiple popping K-pop generals going on 24/7, what is that, bots?
I'm convinced those threads are 60% bots and 40% retards that don't realize or care that they're posting amongst bots
>jannies just bribed?
Worse, they are active participants in the Kpop threads, while they barely moderate the rest of this board, post one thing "offtopic" in the kpop thread and you're banned within 10 minutes of it being posted

>>128278097 (OP)
>>128278148
The worst part is this is a slow board otherwise but the the shitty bot kpop threads churn everything off the board. At least I hope it's bots
>100 not even sexy images of some random bug
>Jenn13 is here!
please be bots

>>128278183
If they aren't bots, then they post like bots, which is almost worse. They don't even talk about music which is the most baffling thing to me, it's almost exclusively celebrity culture. They wouldn't even be that much of an issue if they didn't spam new generals consistently every time the old one hit bump limit like some soulless machine

>>128278148
>they barely moderate the rest of this board
This is a good thing not a bad thing

>>128278232
4chan got too competitive, I like kpop a lil bit but you can't even keep up cause its not about music.

>>128278255
Not saying its a good or a bad thing, but it's a very telling double standard

>>128278148
I made a post about there being 10 kpop threads and get a warn after 1 hour

>>128278263
What's there to keep up with? Blackpink fell off and BABYMONSTER is crushing it this year. There's shit else to care about

>>128278097 (OP)
Most boards aren't even about music anymore and the only ones that get any traction are the retarded ones where someone just says something so outlandish to get attention like "The Glow Pt. 2 Is a terrible album" or some dumb shit.

>>128278300
Fuck if I know, I don't keep up with it enough to know.

>>128278097 (OP)
Zoomers simply got bored and went onto Discord.

>>128278232
Honestly, I can't say it's bots because it would take a lot of technical wherewithal to get botted activity on /mu/, of all places. What would be the gain for bots shilling artists on effectively a dead board?

I think we simply have to accept the fact that 4chan doesn't attract fresh blood anymore. It's just the same terminally online losers trying to outbait each other ad nausea.

>>128278398
>he thinks that 4chan has enough people to max out the music board spamming tabloid images of bugs with "Xhe is here!" at 100 posts an hour 24/7
>while arguing its a dead website
Anon please

>>128278398
So these are losers pushing 40 who just love tabloid media about Korean women? That's who's responsible for this?

>>128278097 (OP)
It's not bots. It's a smallish group of autists and schizos. Other boards on 4chan have threads like this too, wheres they're on like General #9001 and it's just a handful of assholes. A lot of the time they all know each other from other sites.

i miss when the jazz and prog gens were active

This board is just unattractive, very easy to replace it with another site/forum

>>128278427
It's literally the discord jannies running bots. It's not complicated or mysterious

>>128278461
Yeah sure it is tranny. Everyone who makes posts like this is, for starters, still here, and also just sucks as using the catalog or making threads. The only problem is kpop churning everything down to the archive. Without that/mu/ would be fine.

>>128278461
So why hasn't it been done yet and if it has, where?

Kpop is popular, I stay in the general so if your other threads are dead that's on you

>>128278424
>>128278427
>>128278469
Explain the waifufags, then. Are they bots?

>>128278491
>I stay in the general
clearly you don't. and plebs should be shamed

>>128278484
cope

>>128278484
Idk how you could've been here in e.g. 2012 and say the board is "fine," or nearly is, now

kpop is the only good music genre now

>>128278561
>2012
Oh no muh absolute hipster garbage. At least all of you little queers finally quit the bullshit and admitted what you actually like is fucking Kanye west lol

>>128278599
Phish is still touring and there are bluegrass bands all over.

>>128278484
Dude, we don't have a 20th of the activity we used to. This used to be nearly as active a board as /b/. The threads were fucking endless. Now, this is a dead-ass board.

>>128278097 (OP)
As someone who has started using /mu/ in 2025 I have to say it is extremely difficult to navigate and it is hard to find out what people talk about and don't care about.

>>128278097 (OP)
>now

>>128278097 (OP)
It was only ever really alive when it was the tripfag circlejerk board.

>>128278458
Other boards solved this issue by giving said autists their own board

/co/ was sick of MLP spam so they gave MLP their own board
Pokefags got /vp/ to post their degenerate shit on
/v/ got /vg/ as a general containment board

I mean fucking hell, there are SEVEN boards on this website dedicated to videogames, yet the retards in charge don't want to create a dedicated Kpop board even though those cocksuckers infect here and /tv/

>>128278677
Honestly, /mu/ between 2011-2015 was a fucking shithole. It may have been the most active, but the tripfaggotry and taste-signaling was insufferable.

>>128278625
Anything would be better than k-pop spam and nothingness

>>128278658
Post in chart threads and get reccs
>>128257950

>>128278690
we need an ai containment board as well that slop is infesting every board I go to

>>128278690
/kpop/ or /kp/ when? Or maybe a board like /jp/ but for korea?

>>128278642
Completely delusional

>>128278747
I think this will never happen because this website was founded by weebs and is ran by a Japanese man and Koreans and Japs are mortal enemies so the administration of this website would rather just wait things out and hope the kpop trend dies

>>128278801
but who is actually fucking posting in these threads? even if you're a sexless loser you don't gossip about popstars the way these fags do

>>128278867
Bots you dumbass. Kpop threads are like the most active threads on this entire website on a dead board with no posters.

>>128278894
why do the jannies allow plainly botted threads

>>128278926
Because the jannies post alongside them and they don't care

>>128278097 (OP)
the kpop happening of the year is taking place today, traffic will go back down tomorrow, dont worry

Threads like this are more popular than 50% of music threads.

yeah this place has gone to the dogs, I posted here regularly 10 years ago but barely check in now
mods will likely come for this thread soon enough as well despite one meta thread per board being allowed

>>128278319
It's just a board full of contrarians and brain-dead kpop fags. There are a 1 or 2 decent threads, but it's not worth going through all the shit to find it.

>>128278491
>Kpop is popular
so where is the discussion about the actual music?

it could also be that modern music isn't worth talking about

>>128282992
So talk about older music?

>>128278097 (OP)
This website as a whole is declining, however I actually prefer the types of people on /mu/ now compared to back in the day. The people you had before were trying way to hard to act cool.

Kpop needs to go. It at least needs to be confined to one general that doesn’t make a duplicate until it reaches page 10. And the waifu fags needs to go. No more dedicated idol threads like Olivia / Maggie Roger’s/ emily Armstrong. It’s all just as terrible as the kpop trash. We need fresh moderation that will remove the kpop and waifu spam permanently

Where has everyone else gone for actual music discussion? There has to be a better alternative than reddit

>>128283775
Discord. Tons of people migrated there.

>>128278469
>>128278494
They've been here for longer than a decade. Were they bots then too?

When you log on go to the bottom of the cat and just bump a couple of the more interesting threads. One of the problems atm is too many shit threads being made forcing not terrible threads to slide off.
Up to you what's good but please help save some of those threads with some discussion going on and proped topics

I THINK THAT THE «KPOP» THREADS ARE PLANTED, OR ALLOWED, BY THE WEBSITE’S ADMINISTRATION, AS DECOY THREADS FOR BOTS TO CONGREGATE.

THOSE THREADS, CERTAINLY, ARE PROTECTED, BECAUSE ANY DISTURBANCE, OR COMPLAINT, IN THOSE THREADS, RESULTS IN A BAN.

>>128283898
Probably right. If they keep it to the one thread it's ok I suppose if we can get the board moving faster it shouldn't matter

>>128283770
Waifuthreads have been a feature on /mu/ for a decade and a half. I remember all the Gaga generals.

doesn’t seem like many people are particularly interested in music any more, not in the active, exploratory way a lot of people on this board used to be
I think its at least partly because people use streaming services now and are content to let The Algorithm suggest new music to them rather than looking for it themselves, and they consume it in a more casual and passive way
people always complain about kpoop and while those threads are zero-value coomer bugspam at least its contained. yeah they push threads off the board but by the time a thread hits the bottom of the catalogue its been ~8 hours without a reply anyway, ie already dead. if a thread cant get a replay for that long theres obviously no demand for it

I don't think anyone ever believed the K-Pop threads weren't generated by an automated spambot.

>KPOP generals are just automated bot spam bro, trust me even though I've never entered the threads a single time I know intuitively that it's all a bunch of scripts

Look man I'm not going to disagree with the wider notion that these threads indirectly killed /mu/ but acting like they're only populated by one or two real people is disingenuous. Right now there's some Nvidia music festival in Seoul which probably sounds really fucking important if you like KPOP whatsoever. No fucking shit the threads will be active.

>Oh but they're spamming images during dead hours and this offends me for some reason

Every board has waifufags who do this and there's nothing you can do about it. /a/ has it. /v/ has it. /pw/ has it. It is not against the rules to use an imageboard to just post images.

>Okay so how do we revive /mu/

Make threads about new albums and stop dressing it up with rage bait. Talk about music. Ignore shitposters. Discuss the art form. Stop fucking replying to waifufags.

>>128278097 (OP)
>STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE

>>128284387
>There's always a K-Pop thread active at all times of the day, always on page 1
>All of them move extremely fast and don't seem to have actual discussion, just image dumping
>As soon as one hits the bump limit another immediately appears
It's kind of hard to believe a human is doing this.

>>128284722
I know a guy that’s very human that says he spends most of his time on /mu/ in the kpop threads and another specific type of thread. You don’t appreciate some people don’t have jobs or responsibilities that take them away from this site, Hell ive been a NEET before that just sat around and refreshed this site.

I cannot believe people still complain about /kpop/

Filter the threads and make ones for music you like

Its fucking simple

kpop is THE preeminent genre, just as science has advanced from a single person to a team of specialists so has music.

theyre providing an objectively more complete entertainment experience and nothing in the world is competing with it

all of 4chan outside of the edgelords are dead and those are still mostly dying because rich people made it so that there were basically only 4 websites for kids to go on. and most of the edgelords are going to either facebook or twitter in the most embarrassing competition between rich people in human history

it's not kpop. kpop has been a thing on this board forever, including it moving way faster along with the rest of this board when it was still alive

>>128278097 (OP)
Kpop board

>>128286213
i just discovered 4chan two days ago lol so im new here but its partly bc i was banned three times from reddit (for homophobia which is bullshit bc im not scared of fags, they shud be scared of me)

Thank you, she cute

>>128284843
Fuck off with this bullshit excuse. Filters became worthless once the ice/aespa/whatever generals were made. Not to mention filters don’t slow down the churning of constant new kpop generals/popwhore duplicate spam that shouldn’t even exist. Wait until page 10 to make another thread ffs. Kpop sucks and the kpop posters and the mod that rules over them have ruined the board.

yejibros we love ice/aespa

/\b(kpop|haus|aespa|ive|sserafim)\b/i
the threads always use the subject field, so you can make it a subject filter

they aren't bots btw, it's just most of the active people post every single day. this also dwarfs in comparison to the amount of kpop discussion on twitter and discord

for me, its wonhee

>>128278398
>Zoomers simply got bored and went onto Discord.
Yup, the only Zoomers here are the ones in their late 20s at most, the ones who were here before discord was a part of a teenager's "social" life.

I WANNA GARDEN SABRINA'S GNOME

korean popular music

wait. im a bot?

>>128278097 (OP)
This board died when share threads died. This was over a decade ago. You have been playing in a ghost town.

>>128290562
Nobody cares about sharethreads. The board is dead because of kpop/waifufags and shit moderation. Simple as.

KPOP can’t prove they aren’t bots

ok. im starting to think i might actually be a bot and it's making me freak out

>>128290631
they're all real people posting, they're just very passionate about their hobby (Asian fetishism)
