They just need to release more frequently. Their last mini was better than anything the other 4th Gen girlies have managed (despite being a decline in quality for Aespa) and it gave them the biggest-selling mini for a girl group ever and a smash B-side.

 

I just hope they don’t start serving Red Velvet 90s Lo-Fi leftovers to try and hop on the NewJeans trend. I love MHJ but her magic is definitely with visuals and not music.

hm? clearly the magic is with the music and the GP agrees

I wonder what NewJeans will switch to once Y2K trend starts fading.

I’m sure Min Heejin has a plan, she will use all her ideas that were rejected by SM over the years 

[lauvender]

I’m just so glad girl crush is dying now, so many ppl I told about k-pop before are just now getting into it because of NewJeans/LSFM/IVE. The YG/BP sound was so dated and should be left in Gen 3
 

I just wonder if Y2K will last as long as girl crush…

k-netizens deserve nothing after letting this flop

The GP considers their music to be Y2K, which should tell you everything you need to know about their image influencing the perception of their music. That’s not a bad thing, either, and it’s okay that their sound is trendy - I just find Aespa to be infinitely more talented vocally and in the recording studio so I don’t want them stuck with RV leftovers. I’m sure they could do them Justice, but I have always hated the trendy 90s Lo-Fi sound and, other than Hype Boy, I don’t find any of the songs hopping on the trend yet to be exceptional.

I just realized that Somi hasn’t released any music this year and also realized that she released her latest single in December 25th 2021 which is exactly 1 year ago today as well 

Where is Somi? 

I think she had a live where she complained about how slow YG is. It’s clear they just give her Teddy leftovers and use her when BlackPink are on break. It will just be interesting to see how she fits in now that BaeMon are coming this summer (supposedly). I bet she won’t even get to her second album until 2024/2025.

NewJennies better not come in and ruin their top 10 streak especially when they are finally about to get TXT out

SKZ is supposed to be the biggest 4th BG worldwide and they don’t even have the most streamed title tracks.

As long Y2K is popular in the west it will last. At least with Y2K there are so much varieties so there’s room for everyone while the GG inspired BP were doing copy pasta without pulling off the Gc concept. Only CLC could match with BP.

Is this for the whole songs? SKZ has like hundred songs on Spotify and NewJeans, IVE & Lesserafim has like below 10 songs of course they can’t pass SKZ. They will annihilate SKZ numbers if they have hundred songs too

Don’t compare your faves to established music acts then, if they don’t even have over 10 songs 

Btw, SKZ also has a lot streams on their b-sides which is why they are the 2nd most streamed boy group of all time on Spotify. They are album artists I fear.
We stan the Korean Adeles

“God’s Menu” is literally the most streamed 4th gen bg song on Spotify and “Maniac” will overtake it soon. 

It’s also the 3rd most streamed 4th gen song being only behind “Wannabe” and “Pop stars”

What’s examples of Y2K being popular in the west? currently within music I haven’t noticed 🧐

and also with K-Pop, I thought NewJeans kinda started the Y2K trend within the new Gen… which other groups did it first 🧐 

 

I don’t think NewJeans hopped on what’s trendy they were doing something fresh.

merry christmas KTRL

[Pluto6]

Just to remind y’all, it was actually Weeekly who started the Y2K trend way back in March 2021, but are we ready for that conversation? @PowerGarlic

Wait I actually see a lot of similarities with this MV and "Hype Boy", MHJ really did steal take inspiration from their aesthetic omg  

Looks like MHJ was shook when she saw this and had a vision. The rest is history. 

Weeekly mothers of NewJeans confirmed, I fear

It was a flop in South Korea so they did not start the trend I’m afraid But for this song only the aesthetic is a bit Y2K but the song is not Zig Zag or Tag Me are more like Y2K music than this one Y2K is very popular with indie scene music in the west and also it’s been very popular across fashion like baguette bags were back like a year or two ago She didn’t get it from Kpop 

 

It’s only popular in fashion and indie music not POP music right now so technically NewJeans started the Y2K for global POP music If you are looking for indie then I would recommend you to try beatopia  Yes we forgot about Olivia Rodrigo sorry queen 

 

 

 

I was only talking about the Y2K aesthetic in the "After School" MV though? Not the music itself

Where’s the voting thread?

TXT was the first group to do rock and emo concepts, way back in 20211 but are we ready for that conversation? @Pluto2022

White Fox (NewJeans) wouldn't be successful if they debut with SM, let's be real

 

The GP has a hate-bone for SM groups, none of them had instant success upon debut and all of their girlgroups got malicious scandals before debut (check SNSD, RV and aespa's comments when they first debuted, chile...)

Still it’s very different I would say Weeekly was cosplaying sk8er girls while NewJeans was more like girls next door in movies  Y2K is not a narrow trend girl There are many styles from it 

Weren't you a Weeekly stan? Aren't you supposed be a little bit biased in Weeekly's favor, gosh

Because I wanted to shade TXT and be funny, and needed someone to set them up
