Ok I'm like pretty new to the kpop scene, like I started getting into it in 2023, BUT i started with pentagon and like 2nd - 3rd gen groups.
So far I like tws, xikers, and illits music, but I can't deny I find myself disappointed sometimes with 5th gen. They dont sing live as often and when they do they are off key or super bland. I dint have any issues with groups lipsyncing every now and then but I feel like a lot of 5th gen lipsyncs more than they sing live. Also imo I feel like 5th gen is lacking this edge of some kind? If that makes sense? Idk i do like 5th gen but they just feel so like industry planted and fake and like bland sometimes.
But also I do find myself pleasantly surprised a lot too, like I like XG's concept a lot and young possee. I like seeing these hiphop centered girl groups
idk im conflicted
