Okay. This is actually tougher than I thought it would be. I have a group of eleven that I need to narrow to five, so I guess I would go for this list:
- Everglow
- Viviz
Oh no, Loona's not 4th gen. Well shit, time to edit this quickly.
So I've been trying to make efforts to explain my opinions (for my own thoughts) and to practice actually describing why I like music.
- Everglow
- Viviz
- Purple Kiss
- Le Sserafim
- Fifty Fifty
These are my five (not in order). Honorable mentions (and founding off my top ten--not in order again) would be aespa, Pixy, (G)I-DLE, StayC, and ITZY.
Since I don't really rate on the BOP, BLOP, an FLOP system since there are levels in each category. Not all blops are the same, not all bops are the same, etc. So picking my top five was difficult, but my main criteria was breadth and how much I liked their bops on average.
Everglow: I really like their music. "La Di Da," "Moon," Bon Bon Chocolot," Promise," Adios. and "Dun Dun" are some of my favorites from them. I feel like they have their lane of music and stick to it very well. I don't feel like they're too adventurous in their sound, but they know their concept, which I can appreciate. I think it helps that they were active before 4th gen really controlled the sound, so they still had some 3rd gen energy to their music. In some ways, their long break might've helped them stick to that late 2010s sound that I like more than the 2020s. I didn't like their latest release too much, but "Zombie" was added to the playlist.
Viviz: A group of high highs and okay lows. I actually like this group more than GFriend. I like "Bop Bop!" and "Maniac" the most, but that might not be a surprise since I think those two are probably their biggest releases? At least to me they were. But I like "Rum Pum Pum," "Party Pop," and "Love Love Love" too. I feel like they too offer a 3rd gen sound in a field of 4th gen music.
Purple Kiss: Love this group. Swan is my soul. "FireFlower," "Sweet Nightmare," "Zombie," "Cast pearls before swine," and "memeM." I like the effort put into their songs. Their concept gives me a more poppish DreamCatcher. Very dark, very eerie. It really stands out among 4th gen groups. Whenever they release a song, I am confident that I'll like at least a couple of songs, which is usually the case.
Le Sserafim: These can't-sing, can't-rap women are in my top five. They just release catchy music. I can't deny them usually. "Easy," "Perfect Night," "Unforgiven," "Antifragile," "Blue Flame," "Fearless," for the longest time, they couldn't miss and didn't miss until the disaster that is "Crazy." Will I pretend that their music has the quality of Younha or SNSD or T-ara? No. But they release really catchy songs on a consistent basis, which is really all you can ask for.
Fifty Fifty: OT4 and OT5 are mixed here. I think The Beginning is one of the standout 4th gen albums. Obviously there's "Cupid," but "Lovin' Me" and "Higher" are great too. The weaker songs such as "Log In" where they sabotage(???) Keena and Saena for some reason are strange but are made up for in the OT5 era with songs like "Gravity" and "SOS." This group really benefits from a small discography similar to Viviz.
Honorable mentions: aespa is a hit-or-miss group. For every "Illusion" and "Iconic" that they release that blows me away, we then have "Supernova" and "Spicy" to balance them out. That's just the nature of their releases. High highs and low lows. Sometimes they have nice catchy music like "Drama" but these catchy tunes aren't as catchy as "Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's Wife" for example.
Pixy are a middling group for me. Lots of bops like "Addicted," "Villain." and "Wings." My favorite song is "Deja Vu." I just like a lot of their songs. Despite liking a lot of their songs, they actually aren't very high on my playlist, but that's just because I have a lot on my playlists. They just don't get shuffled into.
(G)I-DLE, ITZY, and STAYC all have the same issue. Very good songs early on, and then they flopped for years, some still having not recovered. I haven't liked a StayC song since We Need Love two years ago ("Beautiful Monster" is the one song I liked from that). But I can't deny the power Star To A Young Culture, Staydom, and Stereotype. I honestly don't know what happened to them. I would say they're the lowest of the top ten, threatening to fall out. But they have nice, cute sound to their music, I just find them lacking these years.
(G)I-DLE has also flopped for me since 2022. I Never Die was their last release to have multiple songs that I liked, but "Tomboy" wasn't one of them. "Villain Diesm," "Liar," "Escape" are great. "Dumdi Dumdi" is catchy. "Oh My God" is cool. I'm happy that they've reached new heights, but they've been missing for me.
ITZY have been more or less missing since 2021, but I liked a bunch of songs on Gold, so I'm rating them as officially back. "Imaginary Friend" and "Supernatural" are wonderful. "Wannabe" is good, I liked "Loco. ""#Twenty" is catchy as hell. "Kidding Me" is super cool. And yes, I fucked with "In the Morning." Shoot me. They weren't on a total drought: "Voltage" is underrated these days in my opinion; "Boys Like You" is cute; "Snowy" is smooth. And "Break My Heart Myself" is one of the better east-west K-pop collabs.
