Rapture Failure

Having the feeling of being totally perplexed, confused, and bewildered that something you absolutely believe in and expected to happen, didn't. This usually results in loss of friends, reputation, and maybe your livelihood.

Commercial Failure

A commercial failure is a group that does not reach expectations of success, especially a group who's fanbase is loud with little to no action behind them.

fandom: BTS ARMY

'your faves are nothing but commercial failures'
'commercial failures who bundles and still couldn't reach ______, how embarrassing'

'i am an army but i dont we should call other groups "flop". calling other groups "flop" is so petty. we can honestly do better. so step up the game and call them "commercial failures" like they are.'
