I think it's weird to be honest.
Did the Western Awards shows ever have Best Brit-pop categories when there were the various Brit-pop waves?

Teenagers doing boast lyrics on debut will never not be hilarious for me

The song has the same issue I have with... some other recent 5th Gen girl group releases.
It moves slow as fucking molasses.
This slower tempo so called "chill" thing thats currently trendy, it's just so low energy for me. There's no excitement, no va va voom.

I'm a big cereal eater.
Grab a big bowl each day for breakfast
I love me some Coco Pops. Just like a chocolate milkshake, only crunchy.
Thing is, I just can't stand the knock-off/alternate brand versions of them

I know they are trying to emulate the OG Coco Pops. But I can taste the difference. I can feel the difference in texture. They get soggier in milk faster. They may be a puffed rice covered in chocolate breakfast cereal, just like Coco Pops, but they aren't anywhere as good. To the point that if I can't get OG Coco Pops, just the competitor/KO brand, I'll just go without rather than subjecting myself to a lesser product.

My general rule of thumb is three releases to win me over.
aespa on debut didn't and I was a mean ole aespa anti for... ages... It took a few good releases some years later to reel me in.
Babymonster barely even got those chances before I walked away.
Illit was doomed from the beginning because I have a distaste for survival show groups, but their first song was my last. Not the concept I like.

Basically, MEOVV music, so far, lacks that face punching oomph that Blackpink has. That big, raucous, Arena venue cuntyness sound that Blackpink is known for. Kill This Love was my first ever kpop song because of how in your face it was.
For MEOVV... well...
One song is a ballad. I don't like ballads at the best of times. I don't think any ballads would even be in my Top 20, kpop songs. Azalea by Rolling Quartz might be the closest to a ballad I like and I'm giving Number 1 Girl a chance, but that hews more towards a Taylor Swift type song more than kpop ballad. Ballads are almost "insta-ignore" for me.
The song MEOVV itself? For me it really lacked energy and oomph. It needs more to it. It felt like it was slowed down or something. I think that was exemplified by the line "Try and match my energy" delivered in a slow drawl, like it was being said by a tired retail assistant, not a hyped up, psyched up kpop slayer ready for violence. I don't feel it'd be hard for many to match the energy given. "We don't run, we don't chase 'em"... maybe run a little? Or a brisk jog?
Body is just there... its a bit repetitive, not just lyrically, but sonically as well. It never really changes or deviates for its run time. Even now, 5 minutes or so after a listen, I don't remember anything except they repeated the word body a lot.
You ever bought some food that is advertised as "spicy", or from a company known for its spicy food (it might even have a cute cartoon mascot breathing fire on the packaging), so you're like "Yeah, I could do with spicy food, bring it!" and you get a tall glass of milk or beverage ready to counter the burn, the sweat, and the red face you're expecting and love... Then take a bit or two and nothing happens? Theres a small tickle maybe, but nothing that even evokes a "phew, thats got some bite", let alone anything that makes your go red in the face and needs you reaching for the milk.
Yeah...
They haven't completely stopped me giving them a few more tries, I might wait till they drop an album to really decide. But my enthusiasm for them is much lower than it was pre0debut.

I FEEL CALLED OUT
I was going to make a thread about my reaction to MEOVV songs, but I don't think one persons opinions generally warrant a thread.
But actually I will...

All of the above I'd say.
It's very interesting to read people's perception of the intensity of their own fandom.
For instance, I would never call Tru-Multistan a casual ever, but they perceived themselves that way in some aspects
I think it may be easier to establish what we consider a K-Pop casual
In that case I'd say I'm hardcore based on money I've spent, distance I've travelled, inconvenience I've put myself through and time I've used on kpop related things.
I don't have the encyclopaedic knowledge or fascination with numbers that some other hardcore fans do, but I express my hardcore in other ways.

What defines Hardcore?
In terms of breadth of knowledge of all things kpopsicle?
Or money, time and energy spent?
