Rhythm

No but Ace Reject did

Gross, no. The "GP" and their affinity for archaic musicianship would have her as part of an ensemble for a throwbacks collective tour, if they got their own way. Pass.

SM better be putting a nasty budget into the Switchblade MV.

Surprisingly, this is a really good list. BTS at their creative peak was a force in their own right. I have to be the one person that never gave two shits about Spring Day, though.

Oh wow.

In the cases of SY, Sunny and especially Tiffany… this is valid, though. NMIXX may have strong vibratos, but a handful of the members' tones are definitely more suited to taste. Harmon and Kyujin are nasal more often than not, Jiwoo's tone is kind of inexplicably odd to me, and Bae… lol.

WDA has started hitting. Could've benefitted more from having a bombastic chorus, but we here.

This being arguably the best photo Bey and Rih have ever taken, and it's kept so lowkey.

Define "industry hype". Because I can't think of one artist in contemporary pop that can reasonably be considered an unsung hero; especially when they're all backed by the same massive machine.

aespamania coming hard and swift.

Fart gen leaders.

Are Stray Kids concert tickets like $15 or something? How on earth are they filling these stadiums without a single notable hit?

You really think anyone in the industry is going to touch him with a 10-foot pole after that? That's literally what his (and Nicki's) gripe is: weaponizing his massive influence behind the scenes to destroy them silently. Why breathe more life into it publicly and make it a thing, when you can just clip the bud from its roots, while leaving them both looking like buffoons spewing nonsense at no one? Not saying that this was something he was making a practice of before, but he has a hell of a lot of incentive to do it now.

I don't know if I've ever heard of that being a thing before. At least, it never seemed to be a problem for idols like Siwon and Nichkhun. They were the most popular of their respective groups, actually, so it seems they were celebrated for it. It's kind of bizarre that they've chosen to single her out and put emphasis on her background, considering rich idols are like a dime a dozen these days (especially in the 3rd and 4th gens).

Or "we in the section tn, gang gang... gang gang gang gang gang"

Ouu pick up your lip, KARD.

It's the highest k-pop debut of the year, male or female. EDIT: For groups*

i-dle YT bots are still so funny to this day, because who tf in 2025 is still sinking money into YouTube?

Since day one. Supernova just laid the red carpet down for the main slayer iirc.

Full album allegedly at the end of year.

OH, is the topic 'all-time best SHINee b-sides'??

The smear campaign.

"Real bad business, that's DIRTY WORK."
