they would have worked out as well as the Wonder Girls did. the timing was wrong, and i don't think their style and attitude would've charmed the west. it would fall flat.

I would say picking one is perhaps impossible.

It requires you to artificially narrow parameters to favor one groups strengths over the the other.

In my opinion, in holistic assessment, both represent the 2 most important girl groups of the 3rd Generation, for different reasons.

A great way to evaluate this is to assess what they will overall be remembered for.

TWICE will be remembered as the Korean Nation's Girl Group and the group that defined and spearheaded the rise of cute Renaissance during the early 3rd age, and nearly single handedly brought back JYP to prominence. They will also be remembered for their domination of Japan and their overall status as the best selling girl group in kpop history and one of the most financially successful groups in kpop.

BLACKPINK will be remembered as the Korean girl group who defined and spearheaded the push of Korean Girl Groups into Western and non-Asian global markets. They will be remembered for spurning a wave of Girl Crush prominence in kpop overtaking cute in the later 3rd age, as well as their popularization of the Idol as SNS Influencer and Fashion branding archetypes, in addition to their massive sales and money making enterprise.

TWICE's critical mass and peak centered on early 3rd gen. While BLACKPINK's peak occured at the end.

TWICE opened the era. BLACKPINK closed it.

In this way, both are the 2 most important girl groups of their era. The legendary duo girl groups of 3rd.

Picking one or the other is a misleading framing in my opinion.

i agree with all of this except i would make it a triangle and add Red Velvet in there cause kpop needs its weird experimental stuff too

So they don't get put on any 3rd gen lists, they don't get put on any 4th gen lists.

Idle - the generation unto itself.

No (G)I-DLE, list invalid.

I've always thought of them as more 3rd gen even if they bleed over a little

LSFM before IVE? IDK dude

Psycho isnt my favorite RV song or anything but the way they crept in and destroyed the end of 2019 with it was pretty awesome. It was a really fun time in my kpop obsessive days.
