"Ditto" will be remembered fondly. These title tracks of IVE have already lost traction even before the calendar year was done. Check out the reaction at the end-of-year music award shows, where even their (the songs') fanfare was lukewarm at best.

Quote from johnny

It’s funny you say that because the entire concept behind new jeans was bringing back that 90s sound. So what’s dated now? 🤣

Yet, in a fresh way. 'Tis like complaining that Oasis was bringing back Beatle-y melodies for the 90s when the songs were and are great to listen to. The proof is still in the pudding.

Eleven is still a bop

Very underwhelming. Not helped by the awkward melodic phrasing for the "climax" in the chorus. The traction for this track didn't even survive the promotion period.

Btsnewjeans is that you? If it's not come find your new friend y'all can be bffs

Oh wait you're banned

And you're still an unfunny douche with still a million axes to grind.

Quote from penepol

I dunno, they sound pretty cool to me. *shrug*.

Also I actually heard them after New Jeans, so it’s not like I was somehow duped into enjoying an inferior song just because I just didn’t know there could be more or better things in this world! Oh alas! The horror!

Like, seriously though. They’re incredibly different types of sound. They exist alongside each other quite happily.

Oh, I get it, you're special.

Quote from ArmyBlinkOnce0

I've always liked IVE's music more than NJ's so no.

You're right, I can't account for taste, or lack thereof.

Quote from whiplashed

just learning from their sunbaes bp stans who are masters at antagonising everyone unprovoked

Prophets need very-little-to-no provocation to reveal certain truths. Sometimes they just come out.

Quote from chaelisayadom

new jeans fans are really following the path of all others 4th gen GG the has been in the "shine new thing" position and making threads antagonizing everyone around them lol is this tradition?

Not every "shine new thing" release songs like "Hype Boy" and "Ditto" between their debut and 1st comeback-- arguably the two best K-pop songs within the last decade.

Quote from KpopJop

Nah, the sounds are different enough for me to enjoy both

I know they sound different: one already sounds dated, and one doesn't.

Quote from lialve

No I don’t owe it to you. Everyone already understands. It’s not my fault you’re too dumb to understand

Don't worry, I'm not waiting for it.

Quote from lialve

Idk to me not really

Not really what? Learn to complete a thought, then write.

Quote from MissBehave

Or.... and hear me out. You could like both plus Gidle and XG to boot.

I've never said you couldn't like both.

Hopefully those two girls will be compensated or they should sue their respective companies. Cancel culture ran amok.

HYBE took a potentially one-in-a-lifetime group in BTS and made them into just another boy band. So, them.

It goes to show you how when there is little-to-no competition and/or variety during a certain period of time to distinguish what is good and what is bad or what is worthy of praise and what is not or when consumption is the predominate determinant, any of these taste-makers can easily make you embrace mediocrity or something you would never rate in the first place if there was something better out there.
