It's more or less

1: SNSD

2: 2NE1

3 to 5: Wonder Girls/Kara/Sistar depending on which metrics you look at

6 to 8: T-ara/Apink/f(x) depending on which metrics you look at

Only after 8 groups then we come to Girl's Day, and even so it would be Girl's Day/AOA/EXID/4Minute/miss A so depending on how you look at it, they may or may not rank within top 10

Accurate. But I do think most people would put Miss A and After School in before Girls Day.

I feel like After School maybe not. They started off well but went down after. It's the member changes that makes it hard for people to keep up with the group. I guys maybe you can make an argument for it if you include Orange Caramel but I still think not. I might probably would After School with groups like Secret maybe?

The one I'm bit iffy is where to place Brown Eyed Girls. They have this iconic feel to them but I'm not sure success wise how or where to put them I would think fairly high as well but not sure if can include them in top 10.

Quote from zuzuhhaa

for girl groups, yeah i feel like this is totally accurate? though, wouldn't EXID be more 3rd gen than second? they debut in 2012 correct? the same year as exo

I see EXID/AOA as late 2nd Gen. It's not really based on the year they debut, rather when we associate EXID/AOA and their "rivals", we usually compare them to earlier groups like Sistar/miss A/Girl's Day especially since those groups have sexy concept, rather than comparing them to like lets say Mamamoo/Red Velvet/Twice.

Their concept and feel is more 2nd Gen than 3rd Gen despite the debut year.

Quote from Drew_B

Can a case even be made for Brown Eyed Girls? Theres just so many legendary groups it's hard.

Competition is hard back then. Imagine being Brown Eyed Girls and you may or may not even be top 10 of your generation

Yes Secret. They had really good peaks with their earlier era but fell after. It's kinda similar to Girl's Day as well but Girl's Day members have more individual popularity.

TS entertainment was shit
