    Twitter kicked me out, and I have nothing better to do today. So, I figured I'd make this poll lol.


    I was listening to Seventeen's Adore U yesterday, and I was amazed at how that song is STILL a jam. Now, with 3rd gen having passed the crown to the 4th gen pretty much, I was wondering how many groups actually had debuts that have stood the test of time?


    Thoughts?


    PS. I included the 3rd gen groups I could remember. Sure I forgot some, so yeah, just give me a nice little (gentle) reminder lol, and I'll update the poll so you can vote for them.


    Here are a few of my personal favorites that I am STILL blasting when they come on (also, can someone tell me why tf Wee Woo only has 2 million views?):

  • Mamamoo haven't dropped their debut song from their set list in any concert I've been to or seen since their debut.


    Mr. Ambiguous has aged like the finest of wines. It will never be remembered as a big hit song, but it's a super high quality funky debut single that has stood the test of time for me

    I actually haven't heard this one. I only started checking Mamamoo out around 2017, so I'll have to give it a listen!

  • The way I miss PRISTIN...


    And especially Nayoung...


    This is supposed to be a debut poll thread but I'm just getting nostalgic.



    I still remember first hearing this and having this feeling off all the excitement and possibility of what could come.....


    Sadly it wasn't meant to be...

  • I still love a lot of them. Empty, My Type, Energetic and Chase me are some of my faves.


    Chase Me is my all time favorite Dreamcatcher song.

  • They had so much potential. I remember watching their showcases and waiting for anxiously for their debut, roller coaster was my jam.

  • a lot of these I actually think haven't aged well.


    Like Winner's Empty and Ikon's My Type was a lot more novel when they dropped and I feel like it's only gotten blander as time has progressed. And Boombayah loses a lot of its oomph following the DDDD/Kill This Love/How You Like that Trilogy


    And there's a couple where I'd just not go back to them over their immediate follow ups. Which I think applies for RV/Twice/BTS/Kard(I think Oh Na Na is their debut not Hola Hola)



    There are some that I think just were on it right out the gate such as Mr Ambiguous/Whistle/Glass Bead/Congratulations

  • Hate that I didn't get the chance to properly appreciate Pristin when they were actually a group. :drinktears:

  • Oh Na Na, Don't Recall, and Rumor are all technically "pre-releases" (#KARDDidIt1st) from the KARD project. Hola Hola was their official debut, and a lot of people back then thought that was a missed opportunity since the other 3 songs got way more buzz.

  • I voted, MMM, RV & Day6


    I think the mature concept of MMM & RV help their discography to have a better longevity. Day6 is a rock band, rock is a genre that generally ages quite well with jazz.

    Happiness is an interesting choice if were speaking about mature concepts lol.

  • It's also funny (in a good way) seeing the mature concept of Mamamoo's debut now being mentioned in a positive light, because I remember fighting tooth and nail against naysayers who accused them of seeming "too old" or "retro" during their debut era

    Yeah, I checked it out, and it's definitely not a concept that was popular during 3rd gen where cute and girl crush concepts reigned supreme. The more mature concepts saw their peak in the 2.5 generation.


    That's probably what set Mamamoo apart. Plus their amazing talent. Like, the vocals on that were crazy, and it sounded live. All things you rarely saw in 3rd gen and probably won't see a lot in 4th gen either.

    And they did this fkng live too. Imagine the hard-on the current GP will have on them if they debuted today. Given how often GP were praising some 4th gen vocals and at the same time criticize them. Fuck MMM woulda snooze on these 4th gens. Yeah there is good vocals and then there is MMM. Fuck they good.


    Im having hard on nostalgia, Imnotok give me a moment :pepe-life-support::lighter-pepe:

    Immortal Song 2- 6 months after they debuted, jfc speedrunning with the seniors.


    Anyways, DC Chase Me and BP Whistle and RV Happiness, Day6 Congratulations, still have it on my playlist~

  • OMG...I was trying to organize the poll by votes, and it COMPLETELY erased all of the song titles.


    Damn it!!! I am NOT rewriting all of those again... ;(;(;(


    Ves it fucked up my whole poll. I'm assuming it can't be fixed, but just notifying you guys that happened in case it's a bug that can be prevented in the future.

  • Mamamoo set the bar so high for live vocals and performances, as rookies even, that I have to actively try not to compare basically any other girl groups to them when I'm watching, especially with groups lip syncing now more than ever.


    There's a reason their world tour was called MyCon 8)
