i think one of the things that truly got me into bts when i first found out about them was the diversity of their discography. if you ask five bts fans (aka army) to give you song recommendations, it is very likely that all of their lists would be different. because of this, it is also very difficult to make one single playlist of songs for a new/prospective fan. they have so much music spanning so many styles that making this playlist made me want to just keep adding song after song. everyone's peronal tastes differ, too. if i knew i was recommending songs to a friend who enjoys hip-hop or rap, i would have added more rapline-heavy songs like the Cyphers or Paldogangsan. if i was talking to someone who prefers slow, emotional pop, i would have added Serendipity or We are Bulletproof: the Eternal. however, i cannot please everyone all at once, so this is a list of bts songs that for me, for some reason, just feel like they should be the first thing to hit the eardrums of a brand new listener.
