Sound of kpop : fight the patriarchy support girl groups

Probably way more important for the ladies because just being attractive isn't enough. I don't think the top active girl group's songs are as interchangeable as the guys.

Yep I agree, female Kpop acts have a higher standard to uphold

I think a group needs to debut (and for their rookie years) with a distinct sound...that way people will recognise you and your style i guess but after your rookie years I think a group can experiment somewhat

I think this standard is kind of stupid. They are groups that can do whatever they want. If you don't like it, unstan. To be honest I feel like this is something that haters use.

When Blackpink was doing KTL, D4 and HYLT people were complaining about them doing the "same" sound. Then they switched concepts and sound for Ice Cream.

People complained that it wasn't a good song. Then they did it again for LSG. People wanted them to go back to their old sound and didn't support it as much as the other ones(talking internationally).

Pretty much the same thing with Twice. People complained they were not changing their sound during their cute era and then they change and now suddenly those same exact people are missing the cute era.

What I am trying to say is, it is very inconsistent.

I no longer understand kpop fans and their taste anymore

What do they want, badass? sexy? mature? Baby? cute? uwu concept? Idk anymore.

What is kpop? Who are you? IDK

Support soloists

It's really to each their own. Everyone has their own different opinions and standards. We don't have a criteria to go off on and check if a song is good or not.

But I do agree that girl groups get more shit with changing/unoriginal concepts/sound.

Quote from Weitangent

But yet it still not that consistent like what ArmyBlinkOnce0 said. Like clc, which consistently throughout their career lacked a strong core fanbase, yet they continued to change their style of music. I think the experimentation can only occur after you accumulate fanbase that does not require gp support anymore.

I guess it also doesn’t matter since your initial concept in the first place was overlooked

so is your point then it doesn't matter what sound you come with nor what you change it as long as you've built your fanbase?

Changing sounds is a risky move. Your fandom won't abandon you, but casuals will lose interest. You will have to replace casuals interested in your old sound with casuals interested in your new sound.
