My honest opinion about 2nd gen music

There were some good songs.

Maybe even as many as ten of them.

kpop music was never and won't ever be profound

2nd gen supremacists are annoying af.

I listened to a lot of albums from 2nd generation groups, since I don't like to give an opinion about something I have no knowledge on. And my perception is that the quality of the albums improved in the third and fourth generation.

There are exceptions, but most albums I've listened done in 00s or early 10s had well produced title tracks and overall bad/fillers b-sides. And most albums I've listened from 2nd generation groups I've liked were done in mid-10s during the third generation, when, as I said, the concern about creating an overall great album improved.

Everyone have their own Music taste.... some other say 3rd gen music bad and other say 4th gen music was bad and I'm to one who like the music of every gen

It's not supposed to be profound, it's fun catchy pop music lmao

It did have some truly amazing songs though, they just might not be your style doesn't make them bad

That's fine. More for me.

well, everyone has their own music taste. I prefer 2nd gen music

Quote from Tic_tac_toe

Maybe if their fans didn’t try to convince everyone the music now is shit this wouldn’t be a problem. So yeah they do consider it profound enough to shit on newer music

Are you not being a hypocrite right now by insulting 2nd gen music then? I've also seen a lot 3rd/4th gen stans shit on 2nd gen music and discredit/undervalue the groups' achievements/importance so lets not play that game of whose the bigger asshole because all ages of kpop fans are lmao

Theres always going to be people who are convinced their era of music is the best. Rock was shit on by older generations and now older rock fans shit on new music. It's a cycle but that doesn't make the music from before bad just because it doesn't suit newer tastes, just how newer music not fitting older tastes doesn't make it bad

This whole thread's an awful take and very biased

i think it wasn't necessarily worse or better than today in general, but i have to admit that the classics that still get brought up to this day i find incredibly overrated

Yeah, kinda reminds me of this condescending self important senile boomer on here who constantly goes on the same rants about how local music was so much better in the 80s.

I love a huge chunk of 2nd gen music

Imo 2000 - 2010 had the most terrible music, not only in kpop, but in the west too.

Tic tic, trying to call out 2nd gen stans for something that every gen stans does... Buuuuuuuut to me 2nd gen music is great and i love some groups essentially bc of their music.

Tbh i don't really bash gens neither nothing, i just enjoy the music.

You cleary haven't listened 9Muses discography

There are good songs and there are bad songs I can't say for the whole 2nd gen but it does seem like it was picking up from old HK and old American pop for some reason.

While i generally agree, there are a few notable exceptions.

Taylor Swift's early work on Fearless and Speak Now is legendary.

And who can forget the classics from the last great American rock band? (Warning before you listen to this fucking amazing song, turn your volume down, the gain on the audio for this video was set way too high holy hell)

i want to disagree because I often listen to western 00s-10s music much more than the newer, but I'm not interested enough in western music nowdays apart from taylor's discography to say if its really worse or the problem is just me not having interest
i love the rock and r&b sound that was popular this decade

This is so true. For almost all genres I can think of.

A very dark period of history

There are a few gems from that era but overall imo it's not thaaat good.

This is coming from someone who listened to Kpop during the 2nd gen as well, a lot of it is purely nostalgic. If I had never listened to most of these songs before and listened to them today, I would probably think they're okay to bad.

2nd gen has bops but I'm actually just here to farm akorns for the guild bank

The only 2nd gen group I like is shinee

I agree that the others aren't great tho

I liked a good amount of songs from 2nd gen. Not enough to stan any of the groups though. But I haven't listened to any bsides. I only listened to title tracks.

One of my personal favorites is Tara's Time To Love

It is also my first 2nd gen song.
