NJ made the Best of 2022 by NYT, Rolling Stones & RYM. Their music is commonly acknowledged by even non-Kpop GP as "good." I don't think there's any debate about their quality :coffee: But of course, everyone's entitled to their (wrong) opinion :gaycat5:

NewJeans music is not safe though. MHJ has taste in music. They have quite a distinctive soundscape for themselves already

 

IVE, on the other hand, is the T-ARA of their generation

No one in Kpop could ever pull off Attention - Cookie - Hype Boy the way NJ does whew!

 

Whats basic in Kpop is basically the tired noise sound, not whatever amazing pop girls like IVE and NJ make pls.

 

Talk about how dated SM YG and JYPs catalogue is ffs :deadbanana2:

Also started listening to CHUNG HA’s discog yesterday and it’s so good :jonny4: was reading up on the label drama, I hope her label start treating her better seeing or just release her from contract. 

Yess she has some bops :clap3:

 

now get into queen Sunmi, one of the best k-solo discographies :gaycat1:

Anyways enough about this 4th gen debate can we say SNSD most legendary Kpop girlgroup of all time?

the way queen Lim Kim was under the same rote as mainstream acts like IU, Lee Hi... but suddenly said enough

that's a real one who stopped to play safe
and im still waiting for any group doing that, since kpopstans has this fixation about being ""safe""
but im still seeing just pop music structured like every pop music :deadbanana4: where's the purpose is going viral since the day one recording in the studio 

The Gayz new comeback in February

 

 

They need to plagiarize Red Velvet again.

This time, a Zoom copycat for their title track:WAP:

Their dollar store version of 'Psycho' was such a BOP, too bad it was only a B-side, miles better than Thrill Ride.

How would y’all feel about ATRL’s First K-Pop Awards? Maybe 10 categories?

Throw in a “worst group” category. Give the boygroups a chance to win something.

They should have gone for this bop as a title, at least flop with a bop. I still kii at them stealing RV's intro for Nigthmares.

I thought the same, I hope they come with a good TT and a nice package, SM has been giving to them the most basic ones lately. 

true, personally I think they peaked aesthetically/packaging/concept wise with regular-irregular. SM has concept-baited a little too much for my liking lately, so I'd rather have good songs and ugly teasers than the opposite :cute: 

and hopefully this time they scracthed the useless youtube shorts :gaycat6:

IVE is the korean Rihanna; WonYoung is the future owner of a billion dollars fashion empire. Mark my word! 

 

Also, IVE's music >>>>>>>>> NewJeans'. NewJeans is as basic as it gets. Nobody woulda check for their songs if they weren't so drop dead gorgeous. Their music is the definition of BACKGROUND/MALL music; it's inoffensive, but there's nothing special either. Just check out the FOREVER21 playlist for music like theirs!

Mte. IVE > sh*ttyjeans 

Newjeans is the best music that kpop has. 

Their numbers don't lie and the public agrees :gaycat5:

Kpop gg stans still complaining about the “noise” sound in 2023 :rip: and is the noise music trend in the room with us right now? 

in terms of music:

aespa > itzy > le sserafim > newjeans >= ive > stayc > nmixx > kep1er

 

le sserafim and newjeans would be higher but they have too few songs 

same for nmixx i guess

Not these f-words starting this IVE vs. NewJennies **** now :dies:

 

yall gheys should be grateful that the girlies like IVE, NJ and LSRFM are serving GOOD music across the board and we are able to witness their slayage at this very moment :rip:

 

stop the drama start the music :cm:

 

(I’ll still complain about Liz not having enough lines though)

The way Eleven and Love Dive don’t have unnecessary raps in them instantly made them quality for me :clap3:

If anything’s innovative about NewJeans it’s the choreo. It’s v refreshing to watch kpop dances where they make so much eye contact and interact with each other rather than the ones where you can tell members are just counting down for their part in the center :ducky: it’s one of the reasons why you always hear people say they seem like a group of friends having fun

People talk about about music it’s true but it’s always about brand. BTS declined quality wise, dynamite  butter and PTD are in the same league as BLY or life’s to short and they still reached a new peak. You give BP’s singles to anyone and they would tank because they don’t have the charisma and individual star power to pull off. 

NJ is R&B influenced but a group like Flo still unknown, the truth true beside the music their image carried their success. LSRF has this boss ***** image to less extend than BP but they’re relatable and it’s easy to identify through them.  

Ngl I’m sad that a vocally and talented group like Flo still hasn’t happened. Hope that they can became the new biggest girl group and show these Kpop girlies what real talent mean :fan:

I don't get this IVE scandal. Literally EVERY group lipsyncs nowadays, even on 'talent' shows like Queendom, on season 1 only Mamamoo was singing live. I get it, they were seated, that's a whole another level, but to make a scandal out of it? :cupid: 

It’s bc they were seated and bc everyone is tired of Wy and Leeseo payola

also, isn’t it quite good for a kpop artist on the japanese platforms? :WAP:

 

Does Japanese really use Spotify ? I though their biggest plateforms were Apple Music and Line music or something ?
