honestly I've been wondering if aespa's latest comeback sounds too repetitive for y'all (+ if the next comeback needs a different sound)

    with the y2k trend being so involved in kpop concepts lately maybe aespa's next comeback title track should fuse the sounds of these two 2000s SM group songs into something that's structurally next level/IGAB/mixxpop-esque since some people might as well be getting tired of the current NCT-esque sounds of Drama... :whatb:

    (PS. and maybe make the accompanying MV contain parallel stories that're on polar opposites in terms of edginess? idk :flop: )

    Thinking Aespa is gonna change their music, when SM is preparing a more traditional GG in a few months seems weird lol.


    There suppose to be more hype/girl crush to probably contrast from the new group. It’s possible SM doubles down (with the new group), but i’d assume with the success of IVE/NJ, they’d go a softer route.

    Aespa do a lot of hard hitting song because it's their concept


    But on the side do a lot of more chill, cute song as special single


    Which i really like

    Because they stay true to their concept and brand

    But still find a way to give to people that want more diversity what they want without interfering with their concept


    Why do people want so badly aespa to do boring song and follow the trend

    aespa stay true to their signature Hyper Pop sounds since debut. There is no reason to expect them to drop the sound, when they are still doing well


    I mean, you have NJ for the y2k. We dont need aespa to regress and follow trend. If anything, from the past we've been known that SM will not the trend chaser. They will just stick to what they have promised. If you want trend chaser, you can look for JYP groups - JYP already making NMIXX go down that route.

    The only problem I have is the lack of hyperpop in the rest of their B-sides. SM could really go all out, and yet they play the safe card every time. it's like SM doesn't know what they want their sound to be. Their concept could be utilized so well in their music, but I find SM keeps it at a lukewarm level.


    I don't know if it's a lack of understanding of the genre, but the only song that personally to me fit their concept the best was Hold on Tight, and that wasn't even a song in any of their albums, it was just for a TV show soundtrack.


    Aespa's musical team seem to be (IMO) struggling with their sound and balancing it out with their concept. Anyway, Drama was really good and is their best title track for now, but even Drama does not compare to Hold on Tight.
