the girl group scape is changing fast: this is what the start of a new era REALLY looks like

  • i guess for me it thought it was a little weird that 2018 was arbitrarily marked as "the start of 4th gen" specifically bc of gidle, stray kids, and the boyz (who debuted in 2017 even). i often made the case for 2019 bc of itzy and txt's debuts, both of whom were slated to be the 4th gen leaders at the time. while i think it would probably be silly to call 2022 "the start of 4th gen" or even 5th gen, i just think THIS is the movement in the "group hierarchy" that is expected of the new era. old groups are nearing the end of their contracts and dropping one by one. gidle, aespa, stayc, and ive have quickly changed the girl group scape and have harkened in the new era. lesserafim and hybes other 2022 ggs will soon continue the shake up.


    unfortunately bgs have been left in the dust but i think a few of the existing groups will do better with the public sooner or later.

  • It end ups happening every gen. 2nd gen started in 2003, but only 2009-2010 was when the bigger moviment started. 3rd gen started in 2012, but people could only feel the moviment around 2016.


    This is normal, because not every group blows up in their rookie years. So there's a time of the gen were a lot of groups start to make success together. The ones who blew up fast and the ones who debuted early and took years to blow up and grow spontaneously.
