Does Kpop last year feel more exciting with Aespa smashing?

    Hard disagree like no I absolutely do not agree at all. This year is much better and more exciting for kpop than last year. 2021 was one of the worst years for kpop in the past decade, very boring and bland

    Well we have tons of big hit from gg this year too with IVE, Lesserafim, Idle and NewJeans


    But i get what you mean by considering last year more exciting, i also have this feeling

    And i think we have this feeling because last year was the year where can all agree that we really enter into 4th gen


    Because it was the first time a 4th gen group really seems like competition for 3rd gen group, was smashing everywhere and was able to go head to head with BTS with Next level


    I think a lot of people were curious to know who would comes out as the winner between the big group who have been dominating for years and the rookie GG who take korea by surprise with their addictive Next level

    There was no competition. Of course one would smash if there are no competition

    No. This is the best music and kpop year we've had in a while.


    Maybe it's just that you like Next Level and Savage more?

    no competition makes it so boring. a monopoly concentration is never fun. don’t what op is on to think that makes it exciting. it doesn’t

    ppl disagreeing.. lol aespa literally revived 4th gen's putrefying hype with next level no matter how u downplay it so sit down, yeah other ggs have their own merit for releasing bangers and making 2022 a great year but no one's pretending that there wasn't a shift of interest in kpop during next level era on my watch

    aespa and sm stans keep repeating this mantra like they’re hypnotizing themselves to believe it but it’s just not true lol. there was zero big company debut in 2021 while 2022 had 3 big 4 ggs and a produce gg and they all made a splash one way or another. and now that we’ve seen kakao’s sphere of influence directly benefiting ive it’s impossible to call ive a true small company group like purple kiss or lapillus etc. too. so that’s 5 groups coming from privileged background debuting in the span of 1 year and the effect they had on the kpop scene is evident. they would’ve smashed anyways even if next level never existed. aespa had absolutely nothing to do with these group’s success but aespa stans keep deluding themselves they did for some reason. even gidle which debuted a few years earlier did well with hwaa in 2021 (it even reached number 1 on charts) before next level was released. tomboy had a lot of eyes on it bc it came out after their scandal and its success also had nothing to do with aespa. get a grip aespa stans yall are embarrassing yourselves

    nope 2022 was more interesting for ggs in kpop

    2020 and 2021 SUCKED because Covid lockdowns and issues literally ground kpop momementum to a halt

    With everything back open, touring happening, live shows happening 2022 is much more interesting and really making all the groups WORK for it

    It was boring. This year new competition made it interesting. We even got to see Aespa falling from their 4th gen leader position with their flop of a comeback. The GP was far more interested in the new groups and GIDLE.
