Western Validation: Verb: To promote a globally successful artist/artists in a xenophobic industry. Sometimes through collaborations with lesser know Western performers that cater to the lowest common denominator of taste and appreciation.
Results can be mixed, with the artist/artists genuine talent often being obscured by fans over compensating for the collaboration with undeserved exaggerated hype and hysteria.
'Western validation is a made up term, the BTS & Halsey collab, is so wholesome and pure, her repeated racism and inappropriate behaviour to minors was in the past ya'll!' 'Forget 'Spring Day' stream 'Boy With Love' it's a masterpiece!'
