Will fromis_9 have a chance to win music shows with Stray Kids coming back before them? :chick3:

Not with national fave Lim Young Woong comeback on the same day with them.

 

Don't ever underestimate his ahjummas and grandmother fanbase power that even Army struggle to fight off with voting. It's over to all of our faves release in June including Stray Kids.

JYP has a new formula — the change-up, used by both NMIXX and SKZ now. 

 

ITZY’s next one will definitely have one.

 

Not sure how successful it will be though, given the track record.

SNSD should be jailed for I Gotta Boy. The butterfly effect if that never existed is real! :rainy:

Stray Kids lead singles are incredibly one note. Like a lot of successful kpop groups, they get one freaking song that does it for them and then just keep repeating that song and line distribution structure for all eternity.

 

Miroh, Double Knot, Maniac, Case 143, God's Menu, District 9, this song, Back Door are all different songs but are also just variations or the same idea. Some done better than others (i.e. Case 143, God's Menu, Maniac, Back Door versus some of their other output).

 

They keep attacking their music from the same angle. They've got to break up the monotonous nature of their music.

3 RATCHA is the main problem here. They need outside input as well. It feel like they released the same thing again and again as title track. Stop 3 Ratcha, Save SKZ

Bring back Jinni and give her the lines and center time she deserves, and shove Kyujin to the edge and back. People had enough of her

The fact that they scored top 10 Melon (#4 even) but still not getting more popular. I don’t get it. Even Teddy Bear’ STAYC was getting more traction and noise.

I just learned 2ne1s I Am Th Best got only 2 wins cuz they was promoting it same time with SNSDs The Boys. I wish i witnessed that historical moment :wanda:

I was about to write something similar. I almost stanned SKZ during God's Menu and Back Door era but then they kept repeating the same formula. We don't need Changbin shouting at us during the verse in every song :rip: 

 

As BTS' "successors" they need to learn from their rapline. J-Hope had 0 lines in Spring Day for example :coffee: If not a ballad, they can still release a catchy pop song like Run, Save Me or Boy with Luv. Enough with the noise :chick3:

Are the people at JYP not self aware? Are Stray Kids themselves unaware? They've literally slotted themselves into the perfect position to takeover BTS's position and this is the music they give us? Like noise music can be good but this was not! This isn't the time for their expiermental junk. This is the time to give us their own version of I need U, Run, Spring Day or even Dope or Fire if they want to release noise music.

 

 

Someone at Jype better get those boys together. They're missing out on a huge opportunity.

I get your point and It's valid, but I think they are in a very difficult situation where It's hard to release songs that will please both their fandom and casual listeners, because they already built a consistent reputation of releasing these disjointed noisy songs and got a loyal audience through it. And, in my opinion, they are the best in that niche currently, that's why they easily expand their public getting more and more people who like this type of music. 

 

They tried to start transitioning to a more friendly image and sound little by little with MAXIDENT, while still trying to keep their flavour, and It was their least well received album and title track (minus in Japan). Even the fandom didn't like that much. 

 

The only way I see them releasing songs that will please the two worlds are with "Red Lights", "Taste" and "Charmer" type of music as title track. Maybe It would work. 

 

But I think It's also important taking in consideration what please them as musicians. People love to criticize, but this type of music is what they like to do. And, maybe, the path some want them to go isn't what makes them happy producing.
