Stop saying NCT is 4th gen.

If any of you go to the streets of NCity and actually listen to fans for a hot minute instead of random users and trolls, literally no fan wants NCT to be part of the 4th gen. In fact, we don't care about this tired ass argument. IT WAS NOT STARTED BY FANS.

Tbh, this argument is ONLY used for NCT Dream because of their age range. They're closer to 4th gen groups than 3rd gen in terms of age. Jisung is 19 y.o and the sub-unit debuted at a very young age, but that's it. And we fans know the generation discourse isn't about age.

Some of you complain about us lumping the sub-units achievements together but are the first ones to do the same in order to drag them without fact checking stuff. It's on sight.

But if random people want to shove NCT as 4th gen down everyone's throat, do not blame fans. This bs is not on us.

They're not prepared for that!

I'll drag their ass to NCity if needed.

Quote from killthisfenty

They literally debuted the same year as Blackpink lol. I feel like people call them 4th gen because they have more similarities to them and maybe because they blew up later than others 3rd gen groups ?

People started calling NCT Dream 4th gen first because of their age, they're the youngest sub-unit (the oldes one is 22 and youngest one is 19), then they started including 127 because they are a "late bloomer".

There's also the fact that there's no consensus on when 4th gen started, but either way it doesn't make sense to lump them together with 4th gen groups.

Quote from quarkie

This may be too serious for this thread, but do you think the reason that some try to push NCT Dream to 4th gen is because their potential longevity as a group before the military hiatus means they could potentially surpass some records?

Possibly. If SME doesn't mess things up, NCT Dream will still be an active group when 5th gen or even 6th gen starts.

Not to mention the fact that SME doesn't "disband" their groups.

Quote from Litto

I will say what I think

I believe that NCT doesn't belong to any generation because the group's intention is to be a project in constant transformation so the generational limits are few to define them. That is, just define as 3rd generation just as a "formal" character

Yeah... when we are talking about "NCT", the group as a whole, they should not be put under any generation because under the "NCT" umbrella there will be sub-units from different generations and sub-units that won't belong to any because their focus isn't even the Korean market (WayV for example or in case they debut a JPN sub-unit in the future, etc).

But ofc people like lumping the sub-units together for shady purposes without even understanding how the whole thing works.

Quote from ArmyBlink0

omg, I was just about to post about how I don't think all of NCT is 4th gen. I feel like WayV is the only group that's for sure 4th gen. I am not trying to undermine them but almost all the other units debuted in the 3rd gen era.

I don't even know if WayV can be considered 4th gen because they're like a Cpop-Kpop hybrid.

Their main focus isn't Korea either, so I don't really know.

We are not Gotham City (yet), don't worry.
