Seriously 2021 in kpop has been so... meh musically? especially from mid year-onwards... truly a not memorable year for me when it comes to releases (be it groups or solos) overall it's the weakest year musically for kpop IMO, weaker than last year, weaker than 2019,2018,2017,2016,2015... this is my personal opinion, i hope 2022 is more interesting. i'm truly underwhelmed by everything.
2021 is showing to be the weakest year musically by far for kpop since i discovered it back in 2013

i think it is better than 2020, but compared to 3 or 4 years ago kpop is terrible.
-
yeah it's my personal opinion everything was underwelming for me, i think 2020 was still better, but hey that's just my personal opinion.
-
Most of what I've listened to this year really enjoyed.
I can count only a few releases that I didn't enjoy that much and I respect your opinion.
-
not for me 4th gen GGs really delivered this year
-
-
I don't think so. I think it's been a pretty good year with gems like Next Level, Butter and My Universe. I discovered Aespa thanks to Next Level and there's been some other girl group songs that I haven't minded.
either.

2021 > 2020 for me.

Yes lol, I agree
Especially for ggs

Y’all just stanned groups with bad music…

2021 > 2020
-
I agree.
2014 - 2018 was the best
And 2020 >>>> 2021
-
Really? 2020 and 2021 have been amazing. I could list like 60 great songs in the past 21 months.
-
Personally for me it was really good. Txt, Purple Kiss comebacks was amazing, I discovered Exo, Nct127.

Can't relate. Some of my faves released some of their best work, while others made their return with strong albums or singles. Plus I've had the joy of discovering new artists recommended to me on AKP or checking out well-made albums and songs by artists i had heard of but didn't really listen to. (Again through music chat here)
Maybe you should consider exploring new music? Like start a thread of what you're into and ask for recs?

This is what happens when BP doesn't make a comeback. No comeback = no quality in KPOP!
But yeah I agree, some of the groups who released my favorite albums and songs last year really let me down this year. SHINee(DCM) and WJSN\Aespa(UNNATURAL and Savage) released the best albums this year for me though.
-
I agree, 2020 had way more better music. This year is pretty bad.
-
Ah you haven't heard of Day6. It's not too late

THAAAAANK YOU SAY IT LOUDER FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK

Plenty of good songs were released this year as opposed to 2020 imo
You just need to branch out ig
But to each their own
-
-
No album from my faves so it was pretty underwhelming overall.
I still Butter and MU but it’s just two songs
I did get into some old songs but for kpop new releases, txt and enhypen album had some good songs, I enjoyed celebrity from IU but I couldn’t vibe with the rest of her album.
I think you may be right. 2021 isn’t as exciting as 2020
-
I agree, it's the weakest year ever for me too.
I only liked a few songs and that's it.
-
While I really love some of the songs released this year, I'm inclined to agree.
Overall this year was just not it. It felt incredibly lackluster for some reason. Can't wait for 2021 to be over...
-
I am happy with my faves' albums this year (Renaissances, Hot Sauce, Sticker) but usually aside from my faves I come out every year with a few other albums or at least songs that I enjoy a lot. That has yet to happen this year. Even artists that I casually listen to and usually like their stuff like EXO, RV, Monsta X and Twice were kinda a letdown this year.

kinda
I like my faves releases +some soloists
But most bg/gg releases disappointed me
-
-
nah it's just ur faves.
-
I agree. People said that about 2019 and 2020 but at least during these two years I fell in love with so many songs and albums whereas this year I like some songs but I simply like them not love them except maybe for like 5 songs.
