Am I underestimating or overestimating them? :skull:

the EP has 5 songs and they released 2 of them weeks ago... they're doing 10M at most.

Stray Cats had 12 songs + their dedicated fanbase is still much bigger than NJ

 

Although that would be amazing numbers, with 6 songs :jonny5: (5 and one interlude)

Well if they ever were to release a full album they would definitely do 20M+, cause their Spotify power is unmatched right now in 4th gen

I mean i like the beats, but the songs are just sooo short and repetitive.. clearly just meant to take off as background music on tiktok
There is so little substance and feels a little flat since there is no breathing room just hook verse hook and song is already done :rip:
Attention, OMG, Hype Boy, Ditto >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this mini
i guess the target audience is just ADHD zoomers and not me 

This is my problem with them. The music is very much created to be tiktokable streaming hits.

 

The longest song being 2.5 minutes is so ridiculous :deadbanana4:

 

It’s so annoying ETA is so short. I love everything about it except it’s length

Yeah and people say short songs make you wanna repeat the songs more often but for me it actually has the opposite effect. The songs get boring so fast since there is so little substance and it feels repetitive very fast. One of my favorite things about kpop has always been the variation within a song and how distinct every single part of a song sounds (verses, pre-chorus, chorus, post chorus, bridges, outros etc) compared to western music which often feels very monotone.
And since the New Jeans songs are sooo short it just feels like one long hook

New jeans ep was boring and bad. IVE remain unbothered with the best album this year

*crickets* and rightfully so

 

IVE's album got old after like a week bffr. Them 2012'd Katy Perry rejects can only go so far I guess

They really said we're gonna end this song ASAP :rip:

I was JUST getting into it then it ended :'(

 

ETA is a bop though, it's for the anti-soft music stans who only listen to loud, upbeat and obnoxious songs but it still has that NewJeans touch so it's tolerable

 

Release of the Year I fear :mandown:

which tracks? name them :celestial:

it's not quite there yet, but ETA gives Hype boy energy

it's very catchy 

 

favorites are super shy, ETA and their first EP

NewJean's chart success is what Adspa would've had if SM wasn't such a shitty company unfortunately and everything went right for Adspa (i.e., LTS + Girls era, LSM vs. SM debacle, and long hiatus did not happen). So, I understand why some Adspa stans fume each time NJ experiences winning cuz that could've been Adspa's, hypothetically.

Dragging pop music isn’t gonna make you cool :cm: Despite releasing pure pop music all their title tracks are different from each other. I’VE has more range than whatever Get up was.

hated newjeans' rollout 

it's just too much and the album ends up not having a clear concept 

 

they should've released cool with you as pre single and asap as main and that was it

+ In a parallel universe where Min Heejin didn't leave SM, aespa might have debuted with the same concept/songs

Agree about the roll out! Wish they waited a little bit more between Super shy and the mini! And Not you choosing the two less friendly TT :deadbanana4:

Of course they are, I can tell them apart. I was talking about their debut album which to me got old fast, like why are you trying to argue with that? You wanna force me to listen to IVE's album even when I said I did not enjoy and got tired of it after the first week, like..?

 

I like how you're making things up to make me look bad, like I wasn't trying to be cool by dragging pop music. I just said that IVE album is not better than NJ's Get Up, get over it.
