I miss them.

No. I think it's pretty clear that they were interested in doing other things, and SME was interested in moving on to other groups. I see them splitting off in the same way with the only difference being that Jessica now returns for their comebacks and higher numbers with Jessica.

Oh My Girl > Lovelyz > GFriend

is usually my ranking of these groups, though I'm not super into any of these three. Oh My Girl's latest release was great though, and Lovelyz had some really good songs on Queendom. I've never really been into GFriend, and I only rate "Love Spell" from their Walpurgis release. I prefer VIVIZ to GFriend by a good margin.

It depends on the criteria used, but splitting gen 4 into two when it's only a little a above half as long as gen 2 was a poor choice.

And no gen 1 is suspect, but I would assume most people listening to K-pop now weren't born when gen 1 ended or gen 2 started. Nothing stops you from going back and listening though

I'm judging some of these votes so far. I hope to have good SNSD pics to complete my OT9 collection

Definitely streaming. Most of the time, I'll never actually watch the MV, and there are plenty of songs that I like that I haven't watched the MV for.

Actually, I just watched miss a's "Goodbye Baby" MV for the first time a few weeks ago despite liking the song for many years now

Post GG member photos you think should be converted into badges.

I will browse and return then

As long as chaebol and Korean politicians lie in bed, this song will make a return every once in a while.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do here

I'm vibing to this song a lot!

I liked them well enough. I wouldn't mind them coming back with a new song or if a new group of nine makes an appearance.

Quote from JesseAlex

Yeah....... it should have been Lisa's own song.

And I find it funny that Perry's song also titled NW was in the list.

I had to do a double-take and wondered if this thread was a trolling thread because Lisa's was not there ---- until I actually read the quote.

I zoned out at Katy Perry's name for some reason "Woman's World" but I did say I haven't heard of any of the songs on the list lol

The Worst Songs of 2024

2024's worst songs included stinkers by Katy Perry, Ice Spice, Ye, Jojo Siwa, Nicki Minaj, Julia Fox, Camila Cabello & Playboi Carter and Ben Shapiro.

Their reasoning was as follows:

Quote

*Deep breaths.* Individually, Rosalía and Lisa are virtuosos in crafting immersive worlds to amplify their music. Each an exceptional vocalist in her own right, both are masters of curation, bringing unique aesthetics that extend into their production styles. Together, they unfortunately fall short on “New Woman,” a collaboration that sounds great in theory, but fails in practice. Lisa starts on her own, making the statement that she’s set on a new path of edgy experimentation, hence the title of the track. The upbeat tempo comes to a screeching halt at around the one-minute mark, and suddenly a completely new song begins. Rosalía’s entrance feels disjointed, an obvious marker that artists recorded their part separately, and it doesn’t get any better when Lisa picks back up. —Garcia

If you want to know what other songs made the list to compare to them, but you don't want to click the link:

• Katy Perry "Woman's World"
• Ice Spice "Think U the Shit (Fart)"
• Nicki Minaj "Big Foot"
• Jojo Siwa "Karma"
• Camilla Cabello featuring Playboy Carti "I Luv It"
• Tom MacDonald featuring Ben Shapiro "Facts"
• Ye and Ty Dolla $ign "Carnival"
• Pitbull featuring Jon Bon Jovi "Now or Never"
• David Guetta featuring OneRepublic "I Don't Wanna Wait"
• Bailey Zimmerman "New to Country"
• Julia Fox "Down the Drain"
• Jason Derulo and Michael Buble "Spicy Margarita"
• Brian Kelley "Kiss My Boots"
• Meghan Trainor featuring T-Pain "Benn Like This"

Thoughts? Haven't heard any of these other songs, so I can't say how it compares.

I remember this song. I still think that it's great. Sadly for them, they're not in an agency good enough to push them to the public more.

No

There is "Gangnam Style." Then "Baby Shark." Then the rest of Korean music.

I didn't want to bump the album thread, but I did listen to this album at the gym last week, and I have to agree it's very mediocre. I saw saying that it was a poor imitation of Taylor Swift, and while I don't how valid that comparison on a technical level, I feel like I heard most of the contents of these songs in a Taylor Swift song.

I liked one song from the album ("too bad for us"), but the others aren't memorable to me.

Quote from bethesda

By "private work" you mean like "private law firm" and do you mean that Harris' only place for her political career is mayor or what?

Yeah like private sector work. I think her only place in her political career is to shoot for president. I guess she can go back to being a senator, but I don't see how you stomach that if you're not eventually going to take another shot at the White House.

Quote from kazuyakamenashi

Depends. I think they take a much delicate approach now, the CIA saw thar blow back when they meddled in Iran and then that not only turned the country hostile but even made it become a dictatorship 🤡 so I think they still got some 🤡🤡 on their face

True lol

I don't think many presidents and vice presidents have taken a lesser role one they leave the oval office. Off of the top of my head of the presidents, only John Adams, Taft, and Andrew Johnson took on "lesser roles" (US representative, SCOTUS justice, and US senator respectively). I don't recall what vice presidents have done so, but I don't believe that there would be a lot that would go to a lesser role.

Harris is a bit different because her federal political career was very short, so she's not receiving a huge pension compared to Biden or other previous officials, so she probably still has to work. I would expect her to go to some type of private work rather than going back to a public office any time soon. There's only one place for her political career to aspire to at this point, and it's not as a state governor.
