Why is the 4th generation uneventful for the new groups?

4th gen basically just started, i still don't have an "official" opinion about them

so far, most groups have been uninteresting and absolutely forgettable

Only 4th gen group i'm somewhat interested in rn is Aespa just cause i generally like SM's group's music and ITZY but that's only cause they seem to be pretty entertaining, their music isn't rlly for me besides their bsides, they slap

well thats your opinion, but judging from newer group sales others don't feel the same. In bout 2 years time i reckon a good number of current 3rd gen stans are gonna turn into clones of those 2nd gen stans who constantly bemoan "the good ole days" of kpop, cycle always repeats itself.

i only like izone and treasure in 4th gen tbh

Four groups are.not enough for you?

4th gen is still eclipsed by 3rd gen. BTS, BP, TWICE, SEVENTEEN, NCT, EXO, MAMAMOO, RV etc are still pretty much in their hype and still growing.

So no groups will catch your eye while they still shadowed

Charting probably. No hits no relevance yah pretty much.

Looking forward to what more aespa can offer...

anyway, "Forever" is coming on Feb 5th

Well, compared to 2019, there aren't too many interesting rookies. There weren't many in 2019 too tho - only txt and itzy which are the biggest 4th gen groups rn. They had huge debuts but what other groups did that well back then? Nobody else besides everglow. Meanwhile in 2020 we have treasure and enhypen - groups which are doing insanely well and already out charting, outselling other 4 gen groups. They're definitely gonna make a difference in the industry.

If we're talking about music wise, their music might not be everyone's cup of tea but that's normal, not everyone likes the same things. The only music i liked by 4th gen groups in 2019 was txt, itzy and everglow's meanwhile in 2020 it's enhypen's and some of treasure's

Very early, honestly 3rd gen early was also that bad or worse

mamamoo fav 4th gen group they better than girls
