Do you have a fave cute gg song?
It's probably Gee.
By the way, my answer is over-simplistic. There are a lot more than those 4, but people generally cut it down to only those. I'm not a big fan of the categorization of k-pop songs into concepts, it's a lot more ambiguous than the categorization of songs into genres, which is already ambiguous.

Bubblegum is a genre, cute is a concept. cute is not always bubblegum isn't always cute. Katy Perry made some bubblegum pop tracks but they were always unique. Hyuna's Bubble Pop is considered bubblegum pop but Hyuna has always been on the more sexy side. Cute concepts can be any sound.

Here's how I think of concepts
Girl Crush: Edgy, cool, mature and a little sexy there are a lot of sub categories for this
Badass: 4minuet Crazy
Mature: Bad boy
Cool: BP D4, Aespa black mamba
Mysterious: (G)idle Oh My God
Power ballad: Twice Cry for Me, BP Love sick girls
Teen Crush: Highschool themes, songs typically about first crushes or being young in general.
Somi: Dumb Dumb, What you waiting for
Stayc: Asap, Stereotype
Itzy: Wannabe
I gotta think about the cute category as its the one I'm least familiar with.

The difference is the level of maturity.
Teen Crush is more about first relationships and fun songs about loving yourself in lively way, but confident. They have the "fun" factor.
Girl Crush is a lot more mature. The girls already know who they are and what they want/don't. They have the "badass" factor.
ITZY is the main example of Teen Crush in their early albums.
Blackpink is the main example of Girl Crush concept overall (tho I think 2NE1 are the blueprint when it comes to this concept).
