It have nothing to do with the girls or their confidence
But the poll is more about their concept
Hmm, in that case I don't feel either way really.
I like both their old and new stuff. The lore stuff is fine and I like it, but it doesn't matter to me that they don't put it front and centre anymore. They could also bring it back in a heartbeat and I'd be fine with it.
A few call outs here and there would make for fun easter eggs I guess.
I still feel like their music and concepts stand out from the crowd, if less obviously so.
Noone else is doing a Drama or Armageddon for example, and the quality of these releases even conceptually feel better than BM, NL, Savage and Girls. To me they still feel in line with what they were doing before, just upgraded.
I also like that they are branching out a bit to the likes of Supernova, Spicy, Whiplash etc.
