CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 349: WEIBO BATTLE, POP SINGERS UNITED AGAINST OUTSIDERS!

The first to launch a full-scale attack were the Moon Cat Fans.

Even in the fan circles, there are still hierarchies and distinctions...

And all along, Moonlight and Cat, who have never been on variety shows, never made dirty money, and maintained a zero-black record with high output since debut, are often praised as a "refreshing current on the internet" even by indifferent bystanders!

Under this big tree,

the Moon Cat Fan Circle has made quite a splash online.

Moonlight and Cat are low-key, but that doesn’t mean we fans have to be low-key!

Before engaging, ask how many albums your idol releases in a year? Are their works in an entire year more than what our Mr. Moonlight writes in two weeks?

Your idol is so amazing, they must have very few scandals, right? Surely, they’ve never messed around with other female stars, right? They must be very loyal, right?

Instead of monitoring your idol well, you’re minding our idol’s business?

.....

Basically——

These three moves are enough to knock down any rival fan!

With this, Moon Cat Fans are invincible on Weibo!

In major super topics, Moon Cat Fans are feared by others to the point of trembling!

They don’t just curse; they’re adept at recruiting followers.

After blasting someone, they don’t forget to promote Moonlight and Cat.

For this, they specifically created a series of promotional gags:

If you must idolize someone——then follow Moonlight and Cat!

The speed of album releases is comparable to Qianlong composing poems, never worry about output levels.

A super high-value duo that boasts extraordinary talent, while never causing you to lose face anywhere!

The ultra-niche category of classical music allows you to metaphorically defecate on classmates who listen to Douyin Tang songs! A must-have for niche aficionados!

Absolutely no tabloid news; the biggest gossip comes from internal relations within the group, ensuring loyalty and steadfastness, never a collapse!

Where else can you find such worry-free idols!

Like Moonlight and Cat, and you have it all.

You can reign over any pop star fan circles on Weibo, winning 360 degrees without a single flaw!

..... and that’s why.

Moon Cat Fans have even earned a legendary title on Weibo——the Winning Party!

A group that can win anywhere they go.

But on this special day,

The Winning Party actually faced a day of attack from other circles.

How could anyone tolerate that?!

In an instant,

Moon Cat Fans sprang into action, launching heavy attacks in the comment section of Mao Weiang’s works.

From musical works to personal appearances, they criticized it all.

The charm of big data was evident at this moment.

Netted by the insults, the netizens were caught off guard.

No one expected that this classical music group would have such power!

Thus, they launched a counterattack, stirring up trouble in the territory of Moonlight and Cat!

From the Dragon Violin Cup performances to works, and to the individuals, insults eventually devolved into personal attacks.

A series of effects followed.

Numerous music media and newspapers in Baijing noticed this online rhythm.

Upon learning that the focal points were Moonlight and Cat versus Maozi, they were overjoyed.

Various media reporters and marketing accounts entered the fray together!

Surrounding this internet rhythm began a discussion of pop music versus classical music.

Many articles were subsequently published.

[Is Classical Music Behind the Times? But Isn’t Its Audience Large?]

[Why Did Moonlight and Cat, who held the largest classical music concert in history last April, become targets of the pop music circle’s attack?]

[Is It Jealousy? Suppression? Why Can’t the Music Circle Stand Classical Music?]

[Slander! Clearly, Classical Music Looks Down on Others—Do Moon Cat Fans Slander Pop Music for Lacking Depth, Do you agree?]

[.....]

More and more media articles and Douyin videos emerged.

Mainstream, lowbrow, and even AI-narrated marketing account videos.

Among them, there were authoritative official music media involved.

In no time,

this event,

which initially was just a fan spat between Maozi and Moonlight and Cat.

Perhaps just another ordinary fan circle bickering segment, irrelevant to normal people and ordinary music enthusiasts.

With persistent media hype, it was elevated to new heights!

It compelled more and more ordinary bystanders, originally uninterested in fan spats just wanting to enjoy music peacefully, to get involved in this discussion.

[Can Pop Music Ever Compare to Classical Music in Depth?]

[The structures, harmonies, and melodies of classical music are the pinnacle of human art, created with regard to the historical context of the time, unattainable by modern music!]

[Pop music ultimately serves the masses, but 200 years from now, people will remember Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, and perhaps not Mao Weiang.]

Among those speaking up were not only Moonlight and Cat’s casual fans but also many netizens who have been dedicated fans of music competitions and supporters of classical music.

Meanwhile, the voice of dissent in the comment sections was much louder.

[Don’t talk about depth; I listen to music to please myself. Do I have to learn some educational meaning from it?]

[Enough, music appreciated by the general public is good music! You can’t define that!]

[I just like listening, I just love listening, mind your own business!]

[Pop music is the music of today’s era! We can live without classical music, but we absolutely can’t be without pop music!]
