Straykids are NOT 4th gen!

IT DOESN'T MATTER, MOVE ON AND GET A LIFE

Quote from Blanched Ginger & Honey Mammoth (703)

Agree that 4th gen started 2019.

Fun thing is that the majority of Kpop fans didn't start labeling 2018 as 4th gen until after the year was already over. During 2018 most people were saying that it was still 3rd gen.

Then fans wanted their faves to be considered new groups and their main competition (TXT, Izy, 2020 groups etc.) were considered 4th gen so people started calling 2018 as 4th gen as well. (then at some point late 2017 was included...)

Exactly no one used to label gidle, theboyz or even skz as 4th gen till txt and itzy debuted.

here we go again talking to the doors about generations

No 2018 group feels like a 4th gen group except skz. If they didn't debut at such an awkward time it would be much less complicated cause 3rd gen only being 6 years long doesn't make sense

This argument is stupid. It just began at the time, of course the majority of kpop stans weren't talking about it yet.

You could give a historian a brain aneurysm with this argument, that eras can only begin when people name them.

speaking of doors, let's talk about what a bop Back Door is instead

everyone is arguing and here I am thinking how jobless op is in their life that they have so much extra time to think of who's in 4th gen who's not lmao. I suggest op to go outside, touch some grass smell, some flowers, laugh with friends (if you have friends)

And it's still won't change the fact that skz are 4th gen and they've been called 4th gen since debut along with izone, g idle, the boys.

I think they are simply for the fact they kinda still fresh lol

3rd gen me thinks

I agree, 2018 groups are 3rd gen still

nothing about skz feels 3rd gen, what are you on

TBZ debuted in 2017 how are they 4rth gen?

Who cares?

Whatever they're 4th gen get over it

Why is being called 3rd gen a bad thing? Do fans think their groups will be forgotten if they are labelled 3rd gen?

no

because it's untrue.

now THEY are the actually questionable group, not Stray Kids

personally I think they became 4th gen because they directly competed with Stray Kids for rookie awards, but without SKZ they wouldn't be

not a bad thing. But the fact people here can't just admit the fact they are 4th gen based on the mountain pile of receipts is really funny you have to admit.

why is it so hard to call them 4th gen?
