K-Pop reached its absolute apex and peaked in the 3rd generation

agree. So far kpop peak in 3rd gen

Quote from randkpopstan

go on bro, don't be shy and prove me wrong lol

Ive latest comeback is having troubles to surpass 50M of streams on youtube and spotify, they are just 2 years old

Itzy, Ive all flopped in their japan debuts

Itzy and aespa who had top 10 albums on billboard 200 failed to enter the top 20 or top 30

Aespa latest comeback has almost 50% less sales than their previous album

But why should I expect an exol to know about billboard 200 charting when that's a foreign concept to exo and their fans

What abt Le Sserafim and Newjeans?

Yes because 3rd gen has Day6

5 Years in and 4th gen is still riding on the waves created by the previous generations. No new ground opened. No lasting impact since they're merely following the trends and rules set by 3rd gens. Now, fifth gens are already debuting and 4th gens are in no way in the heights of the 3rd gens when 4th gens debut

Yep

absolutely. 2015 to 2018 was the best time.
