Ranking some of the most popular, newer girl groups by the effectiveness and distinctiveness of their branding.

(definition: branding = the activity of connecting a product with a particular name, symbol, etc. or with particular features or ideas, in order to make people recognize and want to buy it: Successful branding uses design to reinforce customers' visual memories)

 

S-TIER - Everyone knows their sound, their image and their mascot

Newjeans

 

A-TIER - Unmistakable for another group

Babymonster

Dreamcatcher

 

B-TIER - Several unique identifiable characteristics, but inconsistent from release to release

Gidle

StayC

Aespa

 

C-TIER - One trick-pony, one identifiable characteristic, that could be fleshed out a lot more

Ive

Lesserafim

 

D-TIER - copycat, lost the plot or never had a plot to begin with

Illit

Itzy

NMIXX

What are you talking about??? I think they meant Madison Beer's Make You Mine... which was very viral on tiktok yet wasn't able to get in hot100

:suburban:

They were talking about Charli so I assumed they thought this massively viral Slayyter song was a Charli song :ahh: I don't follow Madison

I wonder if Salty & Sweet will have a sister in their upcoming album. 

This was my most played song from the MY WORLD mini. :flame:

I would bump GIDLE Aespa into ATier pull Babymonster to BTier, also bumped IVE & LESSERAFIM to B-Tier NMIXX to CTier and Itzy to BTier

That's fair.

Gidle have that explosive Soyeonese magic. Reinventing yourself with new ideas all the time is both a strength and a weakness here, that makes your brand more volatile and less identifiable.

Aespa have lost some of their identity when LSM left and they put Kwangya on the back burner, imo.

Babymonster suffers from the comparison with Blackpink, that's fair.

I don't know what to make of Itzy at the present.

Others I think we agree with, you deleted the last tier.

You got plenty of time to write these annoying ass rankings and arguments about branding huh. That one drag race challenge made you think you're serving label A&R today :ahh:

What is a Kpop forum if not a place to discuss Kpop. :nicole:

Itzy and Illit copycats but Baemon suddenly is not a carbon copy of Blackpink's music and image?

Sheesh is a bop but all their songs sounds like Blackpink rejects circa 2017-18. Unmistakable for another group you say?

They sound exactly like Blackpink, but BP is the previous gen so I don't think it's a problem. Nobody else sounds or looks like BP right now.

Where have aespa been inconsistent? they should be S tier

When LSM left and they left Kwangya and the holograms behind.

Stayc never got off track too, they're consistently serving pretty cutesy TWICE-adjacent sister music, they should be A tier

Fine.

How could IVE concept be fleshed out more? It's elegant pretty girl music with bops. Do you need an IVE bunny mascot to put it in an S tier?

 

Their music is good and distinct, nothing else really stands out to me. They have that chaebol-royal image sometimes with the corresponding costume, that's something. If they had a known logo that was a core aspect of their brand, or anything that makes them more identifiable besides their music, yes they would shoot up a tier, sure.

Opinions on ITZY's music can be subjective, but they always kept the teen crush brand

 

 

I guess.

@Pluto6 I'm so sorry for trashing your old rankings. Maybe they weren't bad after all
