*****UPDATE 2020-01-21 This thread is 2 years old! I've changed my mind since then. But someone revived it. I wasn't a REVELUV at the time and frankly... wasn't thinking straight at the time. They definitely have a cuteness about them I wasn't acknowledging. **** What's This RED VELVET Is Cute Business? What's going on here? There I was dubbing RED VELVET as "quirk-tastic" (when they're not smooth-seducing my ass with Velvet concepts.). Perhaps "murderous-quirk" at times. But cute???? Listen. As a fanboy who gets up for cute in the morning... RED VELVET ain't cute. At least not in the way I would ever be at all motivated to titled them such. I mean they aren't "hard" either. Murderous maybe.. haha. I still bristle yet become strangely excited at the sight of Yeri with a crossbow ready to take a guy out. But yeah not cute. Are some of you confused on what cute is? No no no... Don't feel bashful. We all go a little crazy at times. Lose our heads. Here.... a refresher free of charge from your resident fanboy and cute stan. This is cute. Awwww... SO ADORABLE! This is not cute. Actually this is what they call "Yeri with a fucking crossbow about to kill a pizza dude" aka "murderous-quirk". In any case I'm glad we had this talk. I'm gonna go make some coffee and search up some cute gifs of Tzuyu to wake myself up this fine morning. If I'm feeling daring I might watch Peekaboo later and imagine myself being killed by Yeri and friends. Bliss. Bye friends! EDIT: @Abeamus told me I sound mad in my OP. I promise you I'm not mad or angry. I'm here with my cat on my lap drinking coffee smiling. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - An Official Emanresu™ Thread - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Your Favorite '99 Liners "I Got So Distracted By Joy's Ass" How Do You Stan?

Their Velvet side is meant to be on the sexier side, you've probably seen people who are talking about their Red side
I think it can be interpreted like that though, like being quirky in kpop is just doing unusual things, which can be interpreted in other ways. Like I could see people interpreting Crayon Pop as cute for some of their songs but then it gets to FM and you can't interpret that as cute.
I see that you mean. That's a good point about CRAYON POP.. I do consider Bar Bar Bar as a combo cute/quirky/goofy concept.
It's ok man, twice is no competition for red velvet. And I agree with you, red velvet is no where near cute. They are attractive but dangerous. That's it.
They aren't cute to me either, but quirky concept is quite close to cute, it has some of that cuteness in it. What quirky differs from cute is being weird, comedic and sometimes even creepy. I don't know if it should be seen as neighbour concept or sub-concept of cute though. Red Velvet tends to mix it with funky or retro to make it more of their own.
Their sound and concept is sometimes creepy cute and quirky, like peekaboo sounds a bit cute itself with the chorus especially but more on the creepy cute side, like a muderous pretty china doll trying to murder you They are deffinately not cute like Twice or say Lovelyz haha
I am okay. I think I've failed at this writing assignment lol. I thought my OP was a sort of joking/amused tone. But everyone's saying I sound upset. I blame it on the fact I wrote it before I had coffee this morning.
I can’t believe I’m agreeing with you But yeah Red Velvet isn’t cute And whoever say otherwise is only blind or trying to defend the cute concept their fave do for a living
This is a strange morning. Did you just say you agree with me. Lol. Don't worry I won't get used to it.
