I honestly expected an upward trend of GGs with bright concepts, especially with OMG/STAYC's recent success, but 
Don't get me wrong, I love dark/girl crush concepts but not everything needs to be so serious and dark all the time :shyy:
There ARE a couple, like fromis9, OMG, STAYC, LightSum, Weeekly, but compared to a few years ago...they're not really as common 
yes twice died
Don't forget Cherry Bullet 
Twice?
once a new group with a bright concept hits it big it'll revive the concept. it seems like it's cyclical where girl groups bounce between girl crush or cute depending on the group to most recently get a lot of success with one or the other.
and with the 87 new groups set to debut next year, 4th gen will be in full swing so we'll see how it goes!

87 groups
There are more currently successful new generation bright/cute concept girl groups than any other concept currently though.

The way you're incapable of responding to anyone you disagree with without resorting to personal attacks...are you 12?

The way you post "sure Jan" and expect anything remotely resembling a respectful response.
You got a genuine response to your thread and the most appropriate reply to fall out of brain was "sure Jan", again, the response of a moron.
Purple Kiss, Cherry Bullet, Brave Girls, NiziU (if you count them as kpop group) deliver bright concept. They are not dying anytime soon. Bugaboo too? I forgot how they sound. All BOPs
K-pop in general cycles through diverse concepts very often.
Even in the last 15 years we’ve gone through cute, sexy, power innocence, quirky, bright, girl crush and atm teen crush.
It’s just the nature of the industry, I’m sure they’ll cycle back to all of these and more new concepts at some point in some form
