Is Nmixx a mainstream group or a "not like other girls" group?

what are your examples of "Not like other girls" groups?

Quote from Help1

The other groups I would consider "not like other girls" are Mamamoo Red Velvet CLC Dreamcatcher Loona (G)I-DLE GWSN Pixy Purple Kiss Billlie NewJeans TripleS.

It's just my feeling that they are being contrarian and too different on purpose, and that their fans feel the group is especially superior because the group is different. I guess you could summarize it as whether I think they are trying to be hipster or not.

Not necessarily "trying to be different/unusual" cause a lot of groups are. But like if they are trying to be for nonconformists or a niche audience, or not.

That is what makes them seem contrarian, wanting to be seen as different deliberately and going against the most natural, conforming, and understandable ways of doing things. Although I guess in some cases, it is their natural way of expressing to be trying to come off as unique. Like I-dle just says what they think about life. But they still come off as trying hard to be hipster to me.

There is more room for thinking about that question, like what if someone just naturally expresses their feelings in a way that comes off as trying too hard. You can't really tell whether it is forced to be perceived as unique or it is actually the most instinctive and natural way of expression of them.

Like what if someone makes moodboards and aesthetic edits because their environment taught them that's a normal way of expressing things, and they aren't trying to be a hipster tumblr user on purpose.

I did that when I was young too I always wrote my stories in a weird way, intentionally inserting jokes or turning a letter O into an orange, because I wanted to show the teacher that I am different and special from other kids. But it is hard to say whether that was a forced/obnoxious way of trying to make a certain impression, or natural cause I was trying to have fun.

hmm

I guess too early to tell?

Every JYP gg till now has gone for mainstream appeal

Nj can’t catch a break lol you’re over here claiming they’re trying to be “not like other girls” while sm stans claim they’re just a clone of 1st gen sm groups ala mhj’s repertoire and other stans claim they’re copying western y2k groups’ music and fashion while not even being the first group to do y2k aesthetics so like which is it?? Are nj not like other girls or just like other girls?? 😭 Or just a punching bag for yall to throw any insult at them no matter how contradictory and inherently laughably dumb those insults are? 😭 At least be consistent and pick a side 😭

they are a group that is their own bubble of music and they "create" their own sound, I wouldn't really call them main stream. I think JYP just built their concept off of being weird and not related to the " I'm not like other girls" concept. they only really have that change up concept which is basically 'stolen' from the next level mid song change up hype.

I wouldn't really say they have their own really unique approach to music as they don't really make good music at all. It's more of JYP wanting them to stand out in the industry, but I think they forgot that in order to stand out it's not just the concept and having good looking members, it's also the quality of music. They lack appeal to kpop fans because there really is no substance to the mix sound other than loud noises and random beat changes. Eventually it gets old. Hopefully with this comeback JYP realizes these things and gives them a good title track.

I don't think this post is about them, though.

not referring to the op but op’s reply about nj and other ggs they claim to be “not like other girls” you can see right above 😪

They are more like "Wow, JYP has no idea what they are doing, poor girls".

is that another way of saying "flopping with the public"?

What NMIXX are is the most most talented 4th gen gg

Their music though

Quote from Help1

So they try to send a message that they are different from the rest and will in fact illuminate us from drudgery and one monopoly over ideas.

It's a commercial argument used every time by all the companies when they start a group. You can see it in YG video about the debut of Baemon they try so hard to explain us already how their group is so different from the others, talented and all the usual bullshit.

I think you have this feeling with NMIXX because the group is still young and they don't have a very defined style yet and JYP is a shitty agency unable to work properly which doesn't help them either create a clear identity.

Interesting to know. Tho remember that YG is the most evil among the big 4

they certainly are one of the groups of all time

You're right. I was so surprised that I cannot sleep at night

I cannot disagree but I still militate against YG

As soon as a girl group is trying to find their own flavor, they are labeled by OP as try-hard and not the others girls offenders. This post weirdly sounds misogynistic.

NMIXX music just doesn’t appeal to a lot of people but the group has potential so they will maybe make it if JYP thinks again their sound.
