Were any of you even around for third generation?

my gateway drug

I only became a kpop fan in 2019, at the very start of 4th gen when Itzy had just debuted

No, it was 4th gen already in 2019

It might be surprising to some people that I have been into it since 2012 or at least been there in the forum for like a decade.

Reverse card, are there actually people who got into kpop during 4th generation? That's a thing on the forum?

Me either. Done. Thanks for the pro life tip

Checks out

My favorite groups are still 3rd gen. Blackpink and Dreamcatcher

That is surprising

Well... I remember when you had a blonde Eunhyuk dp. (unless I'm confusing you with someone else)

Whatever year BoA entered the kpop scene.

God only boomers have voted so far. Stop ruining the narrative I'm trying to spin here. Myself included.

Careful with the B word, you're going to get that bot person to come in and make fun of all our ages.

I wanna cry someone remembers my Eunhyuk do?? How old r U if you don't mind

And I remember thinking that you were a girl.

I'm in my late 20's.

This checks out. I could sense it innately from our exchanges

I was into jpop around that time. But as BoA went into kpop, that's when I got into Big Bang, Girls Generation, Beast, etc.

Stopped half way into that generation and then Dreamcatcher got me back into kpop.

I'm a Kpop fan since 2002 because of G.O.D, but I only started to really care about Kpop after I heard BoA sing. She was my first Asian crush. And then came FinKL with Lee Hyori and my teenage years became more interesting.😅 Not to mention Girls' Generation. I think they made me start reading Kpop websites and buy albums etc.

I lived that era, I watched mamamoo and red velvet release scientist level flop songs when 3rd girl groups were at their peak on 2018 with really bad boy and wind flower and people really didn't gave a fck, some groups have lower standards than others damn.

I start looking into Kpop in 2019 because my cousin was obsessed with BTS. Listen some songs and didnt like it. Then caught my attention the MV of "Fancy" in the recommendations. I got hooked since then

This one at least made me laugh.

Should we compare the encore stages of the top 3rd gen girl groups?

Yes but only if is an encore in a +50K sold out stadium, the acoustics are better on these venues

I’ve been a kpop fan since 2011 and I’ve been here in the forum since 2016

Right around this time, if I remember correctly this was one of the first comebacks that I waited for (back when the term 'comeback' seemed silly to me)

2016

I've been following kpop since 2009.

I was a sone until 2015 then I became a casual listener. I would listen to 3rd gen groups but it wasn't until 2021 that I stanned a group again.

2019 for me

I joined this forum in 2022, and I think the forum was talking about 3rd gen groups at that time, so I guess I count.

I think 2012

Started listening to kpop sometime in 2015, was totally into the madness around 2016. So yeah a 3rd gen girlie.

I would not have guessed this about you
