2nd Gen was so F****** loaded that not even........

  • 2nd gen is pretty insane when you look at how many popular/iconic groups there were. I started stanning during 2nd gen but became more involved during 3rd gen but even so as 3rd gen moves on, I can see a clear difference between the two tbh


    There's huge 3rd gen groups of course but when it comes to the number of popular/iconic groups 2nd gen wins by a landslide

    I would argue that with 3rd and 4th Gen. Female Groups , there is *more* K-pop skills TALENT (quality level) 'running around' than there was with 2nd Gen. Groups ... But , because there are so MANY 3rd and 4th Gen. Female Groups , the *noise level* (competition) tends to detract from all of them (somewhat) ... The interesting aspect (to me) of 2nd Gen. Female Groups , was that a LOT of the CONCEPTS had not been done before ... And the Group members created their own style often , because LESS GROUPS had gone before them ... NOW , with 3rd and 4th Gen. Female Groups , *everything* (concepts , songs even) seems as accused of being *stolen* from some 2nd Gen. Group that already did it (maybe somewhat true) ... So , for me , I have a LOT of sympathy for the 3rd and 4th Gen. Female Groups overall , in that sense ... There are so MANY of them ... And to me , the *talent* level is impressive , of 3rd and 4th Gen. Female Groups ... Also , ASIA WIDE was *less* important for 2nd Gen. Groups to survive ... NOW , ASIA wide thinking , with Female Group members , is fairly mandatory ... And GLOBAL thinking (BLACKPINK , etc) is actually the FULL TOP GOAL now ... The 2nd Gen. Female Groups were more S.KOREAN , one might argue ... As to IF the 2nd Gen. Female Groups are more *pure* S.KOREAN culture ... OR IF that should even matter ... I'm leaving that alone , other than noting the issue.

    Great post. I do forget about that aspect a lot.

    How everything was so fresh in 2nd gen cause it hadn't been done before. And so theres really no where left for other generations to go. Which makes these newer girl groups feel redundant.


    Another free education from Krell.

    It is *definitely* MORE difficult for 3rd and 4th Gen. to find good NEW CONCEPTS for MVs , is my view ... The ones that are ATTRACTIVE as

    CONCEPTS , have already been done ... What are you left with ???

    HEAVY METAL and GRUDGE Music ??? ... :p


    It seems as obvious , but no harm to say it , I think it valid to see it that way.


    I suppose STREAMING CONCERTS might be more a 3rd and 4th Gen. situation.

    By COVID-19 necessity ... Hope the the S.KOREANS get 'up to speed' on VAX

    soon ... USA sent S.Korea 6 MILLION DOSAGES of *MODERNA* vaccine ...

    About one week ago ... POKE POKE POKE !!! ... :wink:

    S.K PREZ *MOONdoggie* was relieved , as the shipment had been delayed ...

    (production problems) ... So , the *POOCHIE* was sweating it a bit ...

    NOT that I blame him , he made the choice , so , in the end , ALL WELL.


    N.KOREA recently *returned* to PRChina *3 MILLION* vaccine dosages

    that fat/skinny KIM JONG UN did NOT like them (apparently).


    Oh , S.K PREZ *MOONdoggie* and N.K KIM JONG UN exchanged

    MISSILE FIRINGS (2021.09.14) ... I suppose this means that

    SEOHYUN (SNSD) is NO LONGER the QUEEN OF PEACE ??? ... :suure:


    Maybe BOMB GIRL (KJU's sister) can blow up ANOTHER BUILDING

    with no people in it , for old times ??? ... :woow:
