2nd gen and it's not debatable.
4th gen
3rd
It's just too iconic and memorable
2nd Gen. It's simply the best.
It's a tie with 2nd and 3rd gen but I went with 3rd as my overall ults are 3rd
3rd
Best : 3rd
Mid : 4th
Trash : 2nd
Is it not a highly personal, based upon who you do or don't stan and likely to be different answer for everyone?
3rd gen, at least the early parts of it.
1.) Most the music still sounds like kpop, before westernization happened to most the sounds in the later half.
2.) They were part of infancy of kpop going into the west so we got a bunch of interesting achievements, rewards, collabs, etc.
3.) Idols still did idol things.
2nd>>>>
3rd plus 4th gen
3rd generation has Red Velvet, Mamamoo, Twice, Dreamcatcher, Gfriend, Oh my Girl, Lovelyz, Sonamoo, Spica, IOI, WJSN, Pristin and Gugudan.
3rd
2nd gen. It was more balanced, fun and diverse in concepts
5th gen by far
In terms of personal favorites and music, 3rd. In terms of enjoyment and sanity sake as a fan, 2nd since the wokeness, cancel culture, sns, etc wasn't as severe.

Many 2nd gen idols were literally cancelled for ""scandals"", some of them really mild. It would never happen nowadays
it's hard to decide between 3rd and 2nd
7 gen they create bangers and appeal not only to earth but the outer galaxy as well
Objectively the 3rd gen
Don’t care about gens but 2009-2013 was legendary. You had to be there
But musically, it’s 2013-2018.
My personal fav is gen 4 ONLY because i've been into kpop since 2018 so 2nd gen I def didn't experience and 3rd gen i didn't experience fully
Didn't expect 4th gen to get smoked this badly
2nd gen and it's not debatable.
2nd Gen would have been perfect except it also wrought the singer who has proven to be the most harmful to Kpop so that became a huge demerit
3rd gen by far
most mfs saying 2nd gen dont even listen to that much 2nd gen music anymore
3rd gen songs will outlast any gen ( my prediction ) on people's playlists
Didn't expect 4th gen to get smoked this badly
4th Gen is going to be limited because other than Fifty Fifty, who will probably leave Korea after this mess is over, every major act of it had paid a filial duty to a 2nd Generation Singer who wants them fail.

Are you gonna be a hater your whole life? Ask Korea what the best generation was. Bet you 500 dollars they say 2nd.

Same. I thought 4th gen gg’s are really beloved.
3rd gen is so fun

who's this korea person
4th gen are the world eaters
2nd gen since I like the focus in vocals, the lives were really raw back then too, and I just liked the groups and idols more.
Since I got into K-Pop during the 3rd gen stronghold I’m a little biased. But even looking at it more objectively, I think 3rd gen’s longevity, impact, and both global and domestic success makes them stand out. So much of 3rd gen’s music I find highly enjoyable and it’s really helped drive K-Pop forward.
I also quite like 4th gen, but mostly the GGs. I’m not as invested in 4th gen BGs, although a lot of them have bangers.
Second gen and always will be. Better groups and songs, that's it!
