Savage is the best produced song in K-pop, objectively, in at least a decade. Please don’t come after the quality of Aespa’s discography when you stan a group who can’t hit highs like Savage, Illusion, Next Level and Girls.

Can’t even argue about aespas catalog because I truly do not care enough :rip:

 

I will be perched for their alberm tho :giraffe:

Notchu sneaking Shart the Night Away but i agrih with the rest :WAP: truly infectious pop perfection.

 

the way i'll never get tired of this EXHILARATING banger, the retro sound done par perfection. They came really close last year with Talk That Talk though. Too bad SMF kinda fell flat in comparison.

Feel Special > ICSM > CFM > M&M > SMF > AF > TTT > Fancy

 

Their best songs post image change.

Now that I'm thinking about it, Yeppi Yeppi could've been aespa's Likey if SM gave it an mv

Yeppi Yeppi is truly amazing. They could have established a new alter-sound for themselves if it was promoted tbh, kinda like RV with red and velvet sides. 

but i must admit aespa shines the most with songs like Lucid Dream and Illusion. Plus they have the vocals to pull off the chill moody rnb style more. The garbage like Girls was such a blunder in their discography, otherwise they would still be competing with IVE and NJ on the k-charts today :rip:

Jihyonce is an absolute MOTHER in every sense but this was a horrible song choice.

Someone said TWICE are the female Super Junior and does that not just make sense? Nowhere to be found on the charts in Korea? US? Globally? 1.7M album sales but 1.2M streams? Some of those people that bought the album did nawt stream it whew good for them! bUt- bEsT sElLiNg gIrlGrOuP iN kOrEa wItH 20 aLbErMs! 100k FW iN uS bIgGeR tHaN bLaCkPiNk! But really this is all JYPEs fault, the way they were so AFRAID of what happened to MissA they pivoted to the complete opposite end and f*cked over TWICE in the process in the long term by refusing to give them solo opportunities during their peak years, now Nayeon is hard carrying the groups relevance and they basically operate like a boygroup, even Red Velvet is doing better than them in most metrics I mean FMR? smash hit! + 1M album sales too and STILL relevant 9 years later? With ZERO global label presence as well.

 

Turns out the reigning 3rd gen group of the 2010s is nowhere to be found in the 2020s, the Katy Perry's of the 3rd gen I fear :fan:!

 

ATRL'S NEXT TOP MODEL| S5 | WINNER: Karlie Kloss - Games - ATRL

 

Onces just need to sit down for once and acknowledge that their faves are legacy acts and NOWHERE near, not even 1/10th of the power BTS, NewJeans or BLACKPINK hold. Enjoy your colorpop and On The Ground mv/Sweetest Pie rip off singles and leave my allegedly 'lazy' $250m grossing global stadium tour faves ALONE.

Not as embarassing as you constantly running to pick on random BLINKs who have said nothing about your faves

Thankfully SM realized their mistake and aespa now has an unofficial semi-dual concept which are Kwangya and Real World!

I guess that’s what happens when you have years between comebacks. The gears start spinning and you impulsively start screaming “BP IS BIGGER THAN TAYLOR AND BEYONCÉ” to satiate the impulse 

 

i cant help but sympathize…..

I was GAGGED 

 

the lip piercing? The angle cut? The chain dance? She ticked off all the boxes then added some extra credit :jonny2:

anyway i genuinely think Jisoo is gonna have the best solo out of all the BP girlies (not that that's hard to do:bird:)

Honestly i've started feeling bad for them because I’ve realized they’re just pouring their frustration due to

1. the lack of enough material

2. the lack of quality or freshness despite all of the bells and whistles and budget and embellishments even after those long ass gaps

3. having to talk about magazine covers and fashion weeks for the 100th time without new music to back it up and pretending to be satisfied with those pictorials and red carpet pics 

4. having to spend thousands of dollars on overpriced stuff and getting ripped off by YG but somehow needing to pretend that they’re fine and directing that energy into saying “your faves could never!!” 

 

And thankfully since yesterday I’ve noticed specifically which users are the victims of the above mentality. I’ll have empathy for them from now on :bird:

twice is the only 3rd gen group who hasn't felt like they've already peaked :jonny5: there's just so much more coming for them :smitten:

I still can't believe SM had aespa bouncing on leg on American national tv :rip: The next choreo better be groundbreaking
