Isn't that a good thing? There is actually competition and it makes stuff exciting.

3rd gen is much more boring because it's basically BTS x Blackpink (feat. Twice, Red Velvet) THE END.

But the competition was there in the 3rd? Especially since both GG and BG were relevant.

 

During the 3rd gen we got BTOB, IKON and WINNER outside BTS and Exo, who were able to score at least one National  hit! We even got a big rivalry between these 2 YG fandoms. 
 

We also got iconic gg like G friend, and Mamamoo. Mind you these groups used to block BP and RV on the charts :deadbanana4: 

Also the 3rd gen gave us soloists like Zico, Lee hi, Chung ha and group like AKMU  who also managed to score big hits and blocks Kpop group lol.

This damn group has been cursed since 2019 and we still don’t know when they’re gonna be truly completely back to form :rip:

the wasted global potential just eats away at me


Please do not get me started I’ve been trying to move away from the whole deep EXO stanning experience for months now bc I can not bring myself to be frustrated everyday with every caterer choice that was made for them :shakeno:

There are multiple ways to see your favs, paying for a concert will never be a priority for k-fans

Also The fact only a few BG have done a stadium in Korea and BP’s biggest crowd is only 20k, while the top 4th gen GG haven’t done KSPO dome yet. 

Her label is nugu I don’t even know how :deadbanana2:

that's what I disagree

the perception of kfans about shows are changing

look the girls

the fact that IVE concert was sold out in 5min shows that

same about BP

and the same will happen with NJ as soon they announce their concerts

and I think Aespa show was a success too

 

meanwhile 10 years ago was just SNSD and maybe maybe 2NE1

 

it's not about if you can see the artist in many ways or not

Anyways the only thing regarding EXO I think of is that there is no way the whole SM x CBX  thing ended just like that it will comeback again but it’s not going to be just 3 of them

The 4th gen propaganda started when 4th gen groups knew their favs couldn’t compete with BTS & BP because no one cared about generation tbh 

This is the most definitive statement that can be made about thoroughly arbitrary kpop generation designations. 

 

If you can't win, you just start a new game!

2nd gen and 3rd gen felt so clearly defined due to the big 3, and I feel like they just continued onwards for gen 4. Maybe it doesn't feel that if you've been here since gen 2 ('cause I have those same thoughts all the time), but literally while writing this comment I changed my mind:

 

SNSD and SuJu /

2NE1 and Big Bang are clearly 2nd gen

 

RV and EXO /

BP and iKon are clearly 3rd gen

 

 

it'd be weird to say that Aespa and Red Velvet are from the same gen lbr the 4th gen actually makes sense and happened naturally

Not to mention there are over 6 years between RV and aespa's debuts, whereas the gap was only 2 years between SNSD and f(x), so it's far easier to class RV and aespa as different generations. 

 

RV and aespa are also the first SM GGs in recent memory where there are no age overlaps between the members, Yeri is older than Karina by over a year.

 

However, The Grace/SNSD/f(x)/Red Velvet had members that overlapped in age.

EXO debut is so 2nd gen coded, but SM decided they were 3rd gen even before Growl happened and everyone accepted 
meanwhile AOA 2.5 gen :deadbanana:

it's weird to think AOA and Twice are both 3rd gen tbh lol but debut year wise it makes sense

 

I think people count 2007 as the beginning of 2nd gen in their heads but in reality SuJu and more groups were already active in 2005, that's 7 years between SuJu and EXO, which is the typical contract duration

 

2005-2011

2012-2018

2019-

Is it safe to say that 5th gen is starting?

1) 3rd gen is over and 4th gen fully took over

2) NewJeans are smashing on such a global scale (serving BTS and BLACKPINK) with the help of HYBE trying new promotion tacticts (this will lead to other companies copying them)

3) HYBE making a deal with Scooter, purchasing QC and a part of SM

4) Baemon, SMNGG and SMNBG will all be even younger than the current groups and with k-pop going even more global they will have opportunities at debut that other groups didn’t have

the way i was right :fan:

 

the third one doesn’t make sense now though, idk why i said that at the time

 

i was also wrong about SMNBG being younger than current generation so ignore that one as well

These days my only Kpop entertainment is to watch A2K. And it is so frustrating JYP blanantly favors Kendall. She only did great on 24 Hours performance other than that her vocals and stage presence is very very lacking. In the alcohol free performance Yuna def did the best job but jyp praised Kendall to heavens.

 

Also whats up with the Dream Academy? Is it only weekly performances for the show? I thought we would get something like a reality show.
