on the contrary I think music show performances are boring af in general and i think concert/festival performances are likely better representations of their capabilities. nwjns’ lollapalooza set was great and i think they were charismatic to watch (esp minji hanni and dani).
are they the best performers of 4th gen? imo no, but i think some fault of that can be credited to their laid back songs, which don’t leave a lot of room for the typical “hype” that people define stage presence with
for reasons i don't understand, trolls here tend to be men. and it's a well known thing that men love "to hate on successful, talented girls".
... and men too.

oh for sure, but the man-vs-girl power imbalance makes it extra gross to me

If that was the case, the majority of trollish men here (and I dont disagree that most of the trolls are men) would be boy group fans. But they aren't. They are either fans of OTHER girl groups or, in the case of disingenuous f'wits (like you know who) clearly not kpop fans at all.
many such cases unfortunately
Korean music show is boring in general anyway...
I tried to watch their lolapalooza performance because everybody was praising them as one of the performance able to match with Blackpink Coachella
and personally i was bored for the 10 minutes i forced myself to watch
the problem is that i don't know if it's the girls way of performing who isn't appealing to me
or if the problem is because of their songs cuz their music have this slow chill vibe so watching their performance i don't feel any energy or get entertain compare to when i watch groups perform songs more energetic
and the only performance i like was a performance they did during a music show for Super shy but because they were accompanied by 20 other dancers, i don't know if the performance felt more lively because of them
but compare to their debut era seems like the girls improved on their facial expression, especially haerin and minji seems to try to be more lively on stage
so i would want to see them comeback with a more upbeat songs to perform on stage alone to really have an opinion
But here's the problem: INTERNET RECOMMENDATIONS EXIST.
Especially since K-pop seems to be one of the most popular music genres internationally so far (followed by regular pop music and rock). I bet you $50 that there's probably a YouTube ad somewhere on the net from this group or another K-pop group's music video.
While I agree with the fact that there's no shortage of people who love to watch them on stage, mind you, we're just pointing out why we think otherwise, me included. The reason I'm not much of a fan of NewJeans is actually because of their performances. It's pretty monotonous to watch and predictive since you can tell the exact moment the members change their emotions, faces, etc. And I am COMPLETELY not a fan of boring performances.
But of course, who am I to judge? I just listen to everything up to 3rd-gen K-pop.

Good for you? I'm sure we're all grateful for the reminder that music is a subjective experience. I don't think we would've come to that realization without you bumping a month old thread to talk about how much NewJeans bores you.
