are 3rd gen stans gonna act like salty 2nd gen stans once 4th gen starts properly

of course what other explanation can there be...

history repeats itself and those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Didn't 4th gen already started properly

Its just a matter of time, when 3rd gen idols/groups begin to fade, some stans will find it easier to just hate on the new gen's success, just like some of us in 2nd gen did back when the 3rd started.

Oh if that is then it didn't have to start bc it already is being like that

Yes if 4th gen can surpass 3th one. Otherwise I see no point of being salty.

Yes

They already did didn't you see?

They were pissed at how 2nd gen fans were saying how 2nd Gen groups paved the way for their faves, but are now doing the same thing saying how their 3rd gen faves paved the way for the 4th gen

Funny really the NaCl is real

It depends on how 3rd gen groups will end

Some 2nd gen stans felt cheated with sudden disbandings of groups and it kinda adds to the animosity they have towards 3rd gen groups

Yall just see reddit everyday there are posts like "I don't like 4th gen", "4th gen lacks talent extremely" "4th gen groups lack charisma" and all these posts are considered popular tho

i think it is already happening a lot even when 4th gen hasn't started properly

I have seen "2nd gen" fans complain more about "4th gen" than "3rd gen" fans tbh.

Anyway I'm a BTS fan so no worries basically.

They already started

Of course. I'm prepared to hunt Aespa down after Red Velvet disbands.

(Just kidding, Aespa )

It's already happening, but once a 4th gen group manages to get a hit song it's going to be even louder. People just can't accept the reality that eventually the new generation will replace the spot of the old. People at the top eventually will reach their peaks and fall back down. It happened in the transition from 2nd gen to 3rd gen and it is slowly happening now. I thought it would stop since 3rd gen stans experienced it firsthand, but I guess the cycle of abuse continues.

They already started. They're becoming the ones they disliked so much - 2nd gen stans. You can see disrespectful threads all over the forum, you can see that weird comparison with 3d gen groups just so 4th gen groups can get underestimated, I've seen it over different places, not just here.

I mean, I kinda understand them. That's the time most of the older groups are in verge of disbanding/becoming inactive, their popularity starting to decrease. The new groups' success, even if it's not as big as their faves' one as of know, makes them threatened for their faves. All of this isn't an excuse to hate on innocent artists tho..Only BP and BTS stans have nothing to worry about, no 4th gen group is overshadowing them anytime soon.

It's going to get much worse when 4th gen groups start taking over in the future, just you wait..

the real question is when 4th gen will 'properly' start?
