Are Beastly Idols The Thing of the Past?

    Like sexy girl groups, are masculine leaning boy groups a thing of the past, or am I just not paying attention to enough groups?


    These days, boy groups are just so pretty. Too pretty for me honestly. From TXT to Stray Kids to Treasure to Ateez to Cravity. Pretty pretty, they are all too pretty. Which, there is nothing wrong with pretty boys and leaning into the non-binary or androgynous aesthetic. It's just not my cup of tea.


    And, as I get older, I'm realizing maybe I'm just aging out of KPOP by the generations. This is the world of the Gen Z kpoppies now, and my millenial hiney may be getting too old for what the younguns find attractive. I'm not into tiktok e-boys or nothing complex like that. Just give me a good old boy next door and I'm satisfied.


    But yeah, are there any more traditionally masculine boy groups anymore? Or is that as antiquated as me?


    And, please people, do not get offended. If this is something triggering, please take a breath before you come swinging and realize I'm not trying to insult anything or anybody.

    I would say Monsta X are beast idols in terms of being muscular men with aggressive sounding songs. Beyond that I can't think of many boy groups that aim for that image.

    Yeah, Monsta X definitely, but I'm asking about 4th gen really. I'm already a huge fan of 3rd gen boy groups. But newly debuted boy groups lean so heavily into the pretty boy aesthetic that I can't really get into it visually though their music is good.

    Honestly I think most 4th Gen boys are young so they go for the pretty boy image more. The one who I would say would fit the beastly boy image are some of the SKZ and maybe OnlyOneOf (they body is muscular but they also a bit too pretty…give them couple of years to mature and we will see)

    But I think it's still a matter of image.


    You can have younger guys that are more traditionally masculine in image.


    I don't think it's necessarily a matter of having to wait until they're older or something.


    It just seems that style is out right now.

    Hm. I get what you mean now! Maybe you are right.

    :melon_think:


    If I think about an overall group image the 4th Gen doesn’t really have that kind of manly man image. I still think SKZ is the closest to it but it does seem like that’s something less popular.

    I remember seeing a discussion couple of weeks ago about Monday X and people were talking about their image being like that but how even for them it didn’t hit that big as it was expected.


    Look at me talking about manly men while stanning my diamond-candy themed soft bois…

    :cryingr:


    I think my taste was always on the soft side but I do get what you mean when you feel the lack of it.
