Tbh I nvr heard of 2ne1 music but xg 💯

I suppose I agree, I never really thought about it. However, I personally think 2ne1's concepts and mvs were pretty tacky, and XG's concepts are just better

Facts tbh

XG are so solid, they make the other 4th gen girls look half baked.

no, xg makes other girl crush and girl crush adjacent ggs look half baked. there are 4th gen groups who don’t have this concept but are still good and well thought out.

I only like some of their voices but they do have a good concept

just wait till baemon is renamed ZG!!!

Japanese all english group in kpop having a great song who wouldve thought?

this the group labeling themselves as Xpop

no

*4minute

XG all the way baby!

They're amazing. Hinata is my fav.

Nah, BlackPink is the improved version of 2ne1 (discussions aside they are marketable were 2ne1 wasn't) but XG is definitely a well put together group who, in addition to all the influences and concepts they can have, they are their own thing. I really like them and I hope they can go on for a long time.

Idk if I can understand kpop it feels a lot more cringe so I can’t get into English releases. A lot of the stuff XG is doing borderlines on appropriation and it’s like they’re playing at being something they’re not.

Anyway that’s just me I’m sure most people don’t care and I’m sure they’re very talented.

There is no appropriation going on

I hate that word so much… appropriation. Too much bs sensitivity over nothing lately. Just because they are hiphop thats appropriation??? And even if so, who cares… I guess I’m old school but I really find nothing wrong when people say appropriation.

It’s not just hip hop it’s also using AAVE. Kpop having Korean rap and singing their own rap is different(there’s AAVE there too and it gets called out but let’s park it for now). They’re singing deliberately using language terminology they would have never been exposed to or is natural for them so it feels really odd. It’s ok if you don’t believe appropriation is big deal that’s your prerogative. But you should at least be able to admit that these girls do not speak or interact in real life using the slang and words they use in their songs. That’s why for me it feels a bit cringe.

Like even if you don’t care about appropriation, If some kpop or jpop or whatever group suddenly sang a English language country song but also in a country accent wouldn’t you all find it weird and cringe?

lol look, Mascara wasnt bad and Shooting Star is a really solid bop, probably the best song of January along with OMG . But they dont a candle to BP or 2NE1 let's be real here lol. Teddy's discography is unmatched by any contemporary producer whether Kpop or local. You have to go all the way back to the 80s to find a better producer or songwriter.

honestly i wouldn't... there's plenty of white, black, and other foreigners, singing and covering kpop songs, or trying to/wanting to be kpop singers. isn't it basically the samething? i find nothing wrong with it... by imitating or trying/working at it, i think it's actually really impressive and i respect it.

btw... it's not that i don't care about appropriation... it's more along the lines of that i think appropriation is a non-existent issue, made solely to spark hate and more division for absolutely no reason at all.

I don’t believe that. People have just normalized randomly adding aave to songs. If it was any other accent or language people would indeed find it weird.

Y’all are just throwing words. Appropriation what ????because they use AAVE. Then cancel all kpop artists lol.

its still blackpink, but whatever floats your boat

Quote from johnny

i don't know... i'm so fucking lost... i find almost nothing offensive, and i dealt with the worst types of racism growing up, but that's the point... i've grown up with it and taken it and don't care. i will never be weak and i hope you all won't be as well.

To be honest you misunderstood me I don’t think appropriation is the greatest affront to humanity. Mostly it just translates to cringe. People who are not exposed to a certain language for example me with Korean, if ppl do cringe shit with Korean lyrics I won’t know so I don’t mind. Since this is fully in English and they’re using words I know for a fact they have no idea what it means or will they ever use those words in regular conversation I find it cringe lol.

No more weirder or cringey then white or black or even some Asians singing kpop songs with the Korean lyrics right? For those that don’t speak the language anyway.

Quote from uwuno

Teddy is straight up doing war crimes with his shitty songs like pink venom and hylt lmao…I’m shook that people actually like his shitty songs.

Shooting Star is better than most BP songs released since AIIYL, with shut down being an exception because it’s good.

Long COVID right?
