This is the only 4Minute sing i really like tbh

 

 

not even this anthem?

 

[Kummercell]

4MINUTE's music, alongside F(x)'s, did age the worst among all 2nd gen acts 

this still SLAPS tho

 

[Ghiles]

Underrated

its always so interesting to see the evolution of choreo in kpop.

 

the way they barely do anything in this vid in comparison to the current expectation of doing back flips and new moves for every syllable in a song

[Park Jinyoung]

they ate with this one actually

I must admit that at first I didn't care for Stray Kids at all but after all the intrusive and aggressive propaganda and spamming on this forum I'm starting to like them more and more  

I just now that Hyunjin serving Jojo was the last straw for you and you had no choice but to stan

Not the intrusive and aggressive propaganda 

 

But looks like the @Pluto2022 SKZ and Lee Know payola was effective, even for me I'm starting to fall on Lee Know and the Minsung ships 

When you stan tabs 

 

But yeah, we are quite a handful of SKZ stans in here now, especially us that joined the forum in 2022-2023, and they the most popular boy group in this thread I think? I remember when I joined the forum last year and @xrosup was the only vocal SKZ stan in here   Then I came and spread as much SKZ propaganda as I could, and I'm glad it's working I remember getting dragged by gg stans in here at first for mentioning SKZ (a boy group) in here, but I didn't give a f*ck. This then also gave courage to the other bg stans, who used to be intimidated  by the gg stans in here, and they also started to bring up their own bg faves more. In short I low key paved the way for all of you I fear  

Now this thread has became way more diverse than ever before and we love to see it

what kind of lie... literally everything they released post pinocchio still sounds amazing

 

[Pluto6]

Speaking of propaganda:

 

@Witnessed ET Your Seventeen propaganda is starting to work on me I fear, and I'm kinda here for them especially Jun & DK

The way I still haven't heard any of the unreleased aespa tracks they performed at their concert, since I don't wanna spoil myself. Which member has the best solo song and is Visuelle's solo song good? 

[Harrier]

f(x)'s discog after 2012 still sounds great honestly, with a few duds here and there. Plus 4 Walls (song) is timeless and will always be a 10/10

 

The Pinochio album & their early singles do fall into the 'aged like milk' category along with most of the electropop from 2009-2011 tho I do agree. Of all groups, 4minute have it the worst, while SNSD largely avoided it and their title tracks still sound pretty good.

[Harrier]

This was camp and silly even in 2010 but I still kinda love it  Key's hair  

Minho is lucky he's that fine because those 'raps'  

[Cheers]

 

Let me cleanse this thread from all the SHITE that was posted. EnGODpen comeback when

[BTS]

I blame this song for the god awful girl crush noise trend we had to suffer through for YEARS. Even if it is a bop.

I unfollowed Hyuna on IG around over a year or two ago because her selfies, at the time, were starting to scare me  decided to check up on her (its been a min since I've been into KPOP) and wow. Looking artsy and cute. A shame to hear she and Dawn broke up. But at least she's serving!

I think her and crackhead are actually back together.

i just took a deeper look at her IG and im back to becoming concerned again  but...its cute. I was under the impression shes still coping with the breakup, hence the messy yet artsy looks. What makes you think they're back together ?

Tbh SHINee were too much of flops to the gp to influence things, but f(x) certainly influenced a lot alongside APink

Its incredible just how wrong AND tasteless you manage to be. Globally relevant stadium act SHINee has been mentioned as an enormous inspiration to modern kpop as a whole by critics, idols, industry people, and the media. f(x) had a run of some of the best kpop albums for like 3 years but they don't come close to SHINee. Impact has nothing to do with sales anyway.

speaking of 2nd gen, Brown Eyed Girls’ discography aged so well

This is exactly what I was talking about, like if any Western pop boy released this in 2010 and had the exact same MV and aesthetic including Key’s hair, they would get DRAGGED for filth  

 

 

And speaking of Minho’s rap, the way Mark, Taeyong and Giselle are the only actual decent rappers that has ever come out of SM

Except this type of sound is what was dominating radio all over the world in 2010 and it was so ahead that the main writer of that song went on to be a big force in the 2010s globally? 

 

This is why I don't take KTRL serious. Just because SHINee doesnt have bot streams doesn't mean they didn't set the standards for choreo, vocals, concept, and musical quality that is going to this day with groups like TXT. 

[Sheep]

Like of all the SHINee songs to drag why are we going for the one that put a multiple diamond certified writer on the map and also completely changed how idol agencies approach choreograhpy? The repackage single making no splash and sounding like it was made for 9 year olds was right there but we have to be coming for a CLASSIC

I was surprised to see the mixed reception for this one... and then I wasn't. 

 

The Nmixx of "Love me like that" is Nmixx as Nmixx is intended to sound. they very skillfully vacillates between a range of genres; French soultronica, then Jazzpop, then Latino RnB, then HipHop. (And yes, that's how they are supposed to do it.) They are sultry. They are goofy. They are sounds slightly absurd. They are fully engaged. They are expressive in ways that "technically cohesive" songs just aren't. They are brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant they are.

This is the probably purest attempt Nmixx has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made Tank so irresistible. I adore it. 

Can you specify which part if Latino RnB I'm curious

Wait until you find out what YHS has been accused of offering foreign investors as "hospitality" by investigative journalists. 

Can you explain?
