You Know It Is Funny When

I mean they share a company and producer, similarities are bound to happen. Doesn't mean that they are copies, or that you should hate on them.

Facts!

Quote from ArmyBlink0

People say that Blackpink are just another version of 2ne1 because they have the same "girl crush" concept.

I think the main reason people are saying that is because of what YG said.

Quote from ArmyBlink0

I guess we all should take everything YG says as facts then.

Well, when it comes to his own groups, it's hard to deny that he knows what he's talking about at least a little bit. He's not a random schmuck.

You can if you want, I am not going to. I am simply pointing that the premise of you whole paragraph, that BP are said to be a copy of 2NE1 just because they both are girlcrush is kind of false. So if I were you I would adressed the arguments that are actually being used for instance by showing examples of YG lying about the description of the groups of the company.

Sadly he's not and that's why we listen to him when he speaks because when he says he's doing some sketch things and pitting his idols against each other that's usually how it goes 🤨 I wish we could laugh him off as some schmuck sometimes.

Well, there's a lot of things to point out when we look at 2NE1 and BP. Same company, same producer. 2NE1 ended almost exactly when BP started. The dots are easy to connect. It doesn't mean BP is a carbon copy of 2NE1. But I think it's quite obvious YGE used the experience they got with 2NE1 to shape Blackpink the way they are.

People say that Blackpink are just another version of 2ne1 because they have the same "girl crush" concept. Girl crush is a label that people just slap on anything that isn't cute,mature or sexy. I don't think people understand something from the same concept can be something totally different. I mean is Ariana Grande the "prettier" version of Mariah Carey because she can hit high notes? No! Ariana is Ariana and Mariah is Mariah. Same with Blackpink and 2ne1. Blackpink is Blackpink and 2ne1 is 2ne1. Any normal person can figure out that they are two different groups. For example, 2ne1 has more of a hip hop influence to them than Blackpink. And this whole comparison thing is not just with Blackpink. It is also with other groups too. For example, ITZY, Aespa and basically any group that has a "girl crush" concept. A lot of people complained that Aespa had the "generic girl crush concept" but then they gave you the Aespa episode. Anyone that watches that video will realize that they are not like "every other girl crush concept". Aespa is one of the many examples that coming from the same concept does not necessarily mean they are the same. The meaning of girl crush is something that shows confident and fierce woman in an empowering theme. Yet almost all the "girl crush" groups have constantly went off this theme many times. For example, Blackpink Ice cream(pretty explainable) and Lovesick Girls(shows their vulnerable sides), Playing With Fire(talks about their love), Stay(holding on to lost/losing love), As If It Is Your Last(I guess you can label this as cute). And I know people are going to say that 2ne1's not girl crush songs sound like Blackpink's songs that aren't girl crush. Well lets look at one of them. Come Back Home, a song that shows vulnerability and while you are listening to it then they hit you with the come baby come come baby(listen to the song if you don't know what I mean). Basically, just because something has the same concept doesn't mean that it is a another version or copy of something. Because if we took that literally, then everything in this world would be a copy. Including you.

Thank you for reading my TedTalk.

Good words

You’re right. 2NE1 and Blackpink are different. Different eras too. I hate this comparison thing.
