Display Moreredvelvetsus is known for being a very… strange person.
Apparently she cried in an Instagram live because she was called out for spreading misinformation about (G)-Idle.
Also her argumentation is shit. Admits she doesn't know too much about music, but is extremely judgemental throughout the entire thing, and speaks as if she had any authority to do so. Lumps together songs that are nothing alike. Makes stupid claims, like the Stray Kids one; Koreans and normal international kpop fans praise their rap and lyricism. And God's Menu is probably the only 4th gen bg song that could be called iconic already, so that's about all songs with edm and rap being bound to be shortly forgotten
Even suggesting that Side Effects is generic in any way, when SKZ were the first kpop group to incorporate psychedelic trance, and the effort put into making an unsettling composition to throw the listener off guard and make them feel what the song expresses, is impressive. A breath of fresh air in the industry.
She conveniently forgets to think about the power of nostalgia and survivorship bias when talking about the 3rd gen. There were a lot of songs that weren't that good back then too; people just forgot about them. And many kpop stans got into kpop in the 3rd gen, and there was indeed a shift in trends (such as the rise of teen crush for girl groups), so if they don't like it, that's not necessarily because the music is objectively bad, but rather because it's not what they're used to.
