KPOP GENERAL

I was struck by her arrow...

i'm not the father

ugly tranny op

5h gen it girls

cute but a bit lewd

why do they look like that

i'm her father

that kid has a deep ass voice

katseye

fatman bots

baemon

they've been growing steadily in korea and they're on a "world" (asian) tour

xg

they're big in the west, sea and china

meovv

this one doesn't make any sense

mid girls want representation too

feels wrong to use 5th gen to refer to natty this bitch has been around since 2015

Jiwoo chan

oyakodon

sex with nina sex with rima

ella and the uggos

just like somi yet she's 4th gen. it's about whne you debut and start your influence

i'm(pregnation)

oh mah boy
oh mah boy, baby

wtf! Not for that!

that voice make me look elsewhere and i'm glad because i found about jiyu cutie

That spotify picture is real grim anons, I never knew there were so many nugus out there.
I wonder what daily life is like in one of those groups like ICHILLIN, Lapillus, or CSR.

don't sexualize the nizius

somi

survival show groups count as debut, she's 3rd gen

I think lapillus disbanded

don't sexualize any of the girls

natty debuted in 2020 tho

she's 3rd gen

alright nigga

NMIXX CHANGE UP

fart noises start blaring

we've all seen her gravure

Somi is Sex gen

ian is a sleeker more aerodynamic karina featuring a rear wing and plenty of nitrous

that pic is the tip of the iceberg
nobody here has heard of every single nugu group currently active in korea

sex with somi (undisclosed year) - 2025

don't call her that idiot

your daughter sir

oyakodon

chewy and chewymom...

tomichan what the FUCK are you saying

no dont look!

she's balding more than me

wtf

do you have a favorite smn

yea still 5th gen i know it's crazy

your daughter sir (sexo)

yeah how dare they!!

idek what that is

Seungjoo bros~

who knew tomi-chan could be sexy? i always thought of her as a cupcake.

saymyname they're a rookie girl group

we do not like that poor man's kyujin to the far right that is for certain

just admit your metric makes no sense

word

guys what makes kpop different from jpop or cpop

karina, brush your teeth every day
karina, don't play too many games
karina, only 3 hours a day
karina, respect your parents, okay?
karina, love your mom, love your dad
karina, always say "please" and "thank you"
karina, if you say words like "fuck" and "shit"
i'll come to your house and spank you
karina, don't say "nigga", it's bad
karina, respect and love all races

kanie ToT
summer ToT
yeeum ToT

I like this generic ballad, seems like whoever is producing for them is in the same vibe as me

gidle is 4th gen

talent

what a grim life
i wonder what failed idols feel seeing the girls they trained with on big billboards all around the city as they walk to their minimum wage barista job.
That third starship girl from pd48 lives in mind, i imagine her seething every time she sees a yujin or wony ad.

yeon cunnyful angel

how come gooks get to say the n-word? do they get a pass because the nips fucked them up in ww2?

angel

Moky!

from jpop

less shrill vocals and little aural sensibilities stuck in the 90s

or cpop

people actually listen to kpop

jpop is a niche genre with very generic music and childish concepts, cpop doesn't exist

its going to be hard to get used to

notice how i also said "start your influence". gidle debuted a while ago yet they're 4th gen because they became really famous during 4th gen's prime

Putting in my Lisa OP request

do they get a pass

you're new to kpop if you think they get a pass
also nobody cares about that word except americans but now sadly even non americans start to acquire that retarded mentality

gidle

3rd gen

remember when sm at least had SOME standards on looks?

god I love this song so much

a beautiful moment
look at the sunrise ~

don't listen to any of those answers nobody here actually knows anything

this child is ill
reminds me of myself when i was a kid

get off the that bs....its the same in kpop,cpop,jpop so what exactly made kpop popular

yeah but then your waifu debuted

be nice to kanny she's a hard working foreigner

remember when sm at least had SOME standards on looks?

oh yeah I remember when they added Hyogre to snsd and amber to fx

me nigga

nope you missed again!

amber was good looking, they just made her look ugly with the fake dyke styling
luna was the uggo

smooch

forget h2h the superior dottis with the superior feet are kiiikiii

i was being stupid on purpose talking about natty's survival show stints and her fart in the wind solo debut before but now you're just wrong lol gidle is firmly within gen3 in their debut date of course and also their sound and aesthetics
you cant change that fact just because they've achieved success and longevity

I hurt myself today... To see if I still feel...

isn't this kya

inverting the framing, other industries spam release songs now because they have no way to identify what will be a hit or not. kpop is different in that it manufactures hits by consolidating and mobilising fans to boost tracks. more releases would dilute that power

amber was good looking

gobbo and her bf

yeah nice comparison when their groups had one designated uggo to now where you don't even know where to rest your eyes on because everyone looks like shit
also manber was not uggo she's just got that stupid styling

gidle is firmly within gen3

no matter how many times you repeat this on kpg it won't make it real

i dont think they look bad its just that they debuted around the same time and just cant compete with this

90s

modern jpop is much better than 90's jpop
it has its own little subgenres that are rekindling its popularity in japan

actually listen

anon do you know cfans are extremely parasocial they literally buy 30-50M of a single to suppourt their favs......you dont know about it cuz china is out of mainstream lens

our gen 6 queen, jiyu

manber was not uggo

what are subgenres?

Gidle is gen 3
Itzy is gen 3

ian going taliban on karina's ass in the elevator

me nigga

Yesterday was a bad day for kpg :(

kep1er is the best1er

kya bouncing on my ****

and not even giving me the courtesy of a (You) will not change the hard facts just because you said so
gidle had a huge debut in korea breaking the record at the time for fastest music show win, they got even bigger on queendom s1
just because you heard of them after the hiatus because soojin's scandal doesnt change shit

Lisa thread

generic and childish

ironic that 90% of kpop is exactly that

cpop

anon cpop makes 20x money off of broadcasts than biggest of korean artists including bts

*deep ass voice*
hambuga hambuga hambuga NIGGERS!!!!

if the jannies knew more about kpop they'd get your ass for trolling

the kpop industry is multiple tiers of development ahead, like comparing a bugatti to a donkey-drawn wagon

anon cpop makes 20x money off of broadcasts than biggest of korean artists including bts

they have to buy counter strike skins with that money, or the ccp is going to confiscate it

ironic that 90% of kpop is exactly that

it isn't, fuck off to jp is you love it so much

kpop is a recognized brand all around the world, there is no cpop, it's just pop from China, just like pop from Brazil is not bpop

gidle is firmly within gen3 in their debut date

yet they're considered 4th gen, at least that's what i read everytime, don't think I've read they were gen 3 except you rn

eunbi is a singer, a variety star, a japanese film actress (not porn), a landlord, a songwriter, a model and a cafe owner

eat a dick retard

and my mommy

kpop is a recognized brand all around the world, there is no cpop, it's just pop from China

i wish kpop was like that

yo

and Khalessi, Mother of Milk

if kiiikiii flops im taking her to my place

gay

she's not as pretty as that one webm made her look

and a certified milk trugg

her deep ass voice is mine (to make her a soloist that is)

they're 3.5

but she even has braces

ew, that's a minus

she's fucking pretty

ill be honest i dont plan to listen to their bmg song or whatever it sounds like shit

nigga i was around in 2018 when latata came out just go watch that shit there's nothing that sounds and looks more like gen3 kpop than that trop house shit
i get that they became huge after their year off after the scandal and a lot of people got to know them then but that's not how shit works

jiyu...
leesol...
sui...
haum...

saving Hiichan's gravure pics for later...

Jpop for whatever reason sucks. They dont choose cute girls to be the idols and the music is mid
Examples:
youtu.be/Sk7-8SzMfRU?si=3O-QUuIt0nRGBzXH

concept is trash, song is only okay, girls kinda ugly

youtu.be/wRQ7TpV0JSA?si=31cdWSqTURhl-Nzj

pretty girls and concept, music is unqiue but not something you want to listen to everyday and cant chill to, dance choreography is really bad, video productuon is bad

trop house was a dark time for kpop

nice feet bitch

their real INFLUENCE and FAME started in gen4 nobody gives a damn about latata. gidle redebuted in 4th gen with Tomboy.

kpop hasn't been like that since shortly after it began lol

what about kya?

latata was good
and so was senorita

They dont choose cute girls to be the idols and the music is mid *links two bangers*

ugly

they should only debut kpops with these

gidle redebuted in 4th gen with Tomboy.

Bro is losing it

g4tn

ian :D
yeon :DD
kya :DDD
all three :DDDD

love that Phantom Sita song, but indeed the song is not to listen to it too much

what does that have to do with my wish nigga

post leesol

lol so you admit you have no real standards for this classification, it's basically just the vibes of where you think a group fits

what about her

jennie is gen 5 because she swapped labels

whine

Who cares what gen they debutted under? TWICE in 2024 still sounded gen 3 af, but GIDLE didn't. Just call them Gen 3.5 and call it a day.

his girl isn't 3rd, 4th and 5th generation

we like especia, maison book girl, sora tob sakana, nmixx, yukika and meovv

bullshit it is far more structured in jpop than kpop which mixes jpop structure with freakish layers of marketing

comparing to car companies

kpop is minicooper
jpop is toyota
cpop is gm

it is like marketing a minicooper while toyota sells just because of its name and gm does what it does

most of kpop,jpop,cpop no 98% of them wont even hold a candle in actual singing than producing same dumb generic songs

only reasonable excuse is marketing, kpop is bullish on marketing in and outside korea

jpop is extremely marketed in japan

cpop is underpromoted in mainland china, stans run the fandoms in china

she's cute!

sorry i just really dont know how you can even imagine kpop not being an export industry since it was always like that

yeah and i don't make the rules, if it was me i wouldn't give a fuck about "gens"

today I discovered she's the oldest of the group, I thought it was Jiyu since she's the leader

not reading all that sorry bro

lmao what
in what world is AI slop an argument
you are so fucking cooked

koreans called gidle 4th generation even back then, like in their queendom days

anyway if you take the longest definition of generations 2 and 4 then #3 can be only about 18 months long

... chartchang?

im out

kpop is a ferrari
jpop is a lada

Hyein's father has been officially summoned to the NewJeans court hearing. He will take the stand to give his testimony as a Kim&Chang/ADOR witness.
He already received all relevant court evidence.
He's expected to talk about his and MHJs dealings with Davolink and alleged tampering attempt.

this random person on quora's opinion surely will trump every fact and argument presented before me LMAO

very exquisite ear

ur retarded
cope n seethe

shut up edinho

gen 3

twice

blackpink

red velvet

gfriendd

3.5

itzy

gidle

bruv it's not only one person but hundreds of thousands who think gidle is 4th gen

Generations can only be defined retroactively by observing lasting change in trends. What people (or more accurately the companies and their marketing articles) say in the moment don't matter at all. Gidle is 3.5 gen as are itzy, fromis and the likes from that era

generation 3 started with AOA

Hitomi was a different person before she set foot in Korea

did i say it was gonna happen? or did i say i wish it was like that? moroni don't reply to me you're weird

LOL i just saw the timestamp on that screenshot
forget about it that person is completely hopeless in understanding any simple logic

3.5

see where this gen discourse leads to... retarded af

recognized

anon marketing is the core of kpop take that away and kpop is skin and bones than what it claims to be plus 1d absence made parasocial directioners dive into kpop

this is the same logic jpop, cpop fans use to legitimize their music

keep us updated

not sure why but in a couple of interviews, oh my girl has put themselves in 3.5, they're probably having a different metric but I also don't agree, they're just 3

every xg has naked photos of the other members on their phones some might even be illegal

and other lies to tell yourself

i'm not weird i'm sorry i was just trying to engage in your thought process

You can just lump them into 3rd gen if you like. The .5 distinctions are just there to denote late comers to 3rd gen who were not quite the pioneers of a new gen

do you think any of them have nudes of airi too

the fuck is even your point, you're just arguing

ILLIT is gen 4.5, as is KIOF

she probably took the most photos she's a freak

hot take .5 gen classifications are actually useful

usually witnesses are sympathetic to the side that summons them
this will fail

The key distinction of k j cpop is thus
Kpop is good. Others aren't. The rest are all window dressings to explain this pricipal difference

groups themselves have used that term, it's not a kpg thing if you believe that

let's be real here, the 5th gen it girls are kim minji and oh haewon
winter in third

nah this gen shit is all useless
but that person was wrong even if you take this retarded shit seriously so i had to go hard at them

you're right gidle is gen3 by the "logic" of the "generations" of kpop even though that makes no sense to begin with

somi is gen 3

Sensible take: 5th gen is not here yet

Call me when Kpop has something comparable to PassCode or Shingeki.

sex gen

no it sucks for westerners i get it

but there are so many talented composers, producers in jpop

dont choose cute girls

it depends sakura was formerly in akb48

plus sakurazaka46 girls and their peers are better than kpop replicas in the sense that they are more "original"

i was opposed to it for the longest time but i had to accept it's arrived

western fans seem to set the generations like a year or 2 off from korea

korea would have gen 3 starting in like 2012 dbh

yeah 4th gen first needs to end, seems like newjeans is speeding up that process

bitch you really won't let this go huh? i still didnt forget when you were talking shit about nmixx and i had to put you in yo place

gen acceleration is a real phenomenon
remember, you are NOT immune to propaganda

jannies need to deal with you

you're so fucking retarded, your jpop shit is garbage and the whole world agrees

jpop's infrastructure was surpassed by kpop in the early 10s. they don't have the dorm system or training methods or anything

jpop sounds and looks less professional than kpop because less money is invested in it, resulting in less quality results

gen1 was Seo Taiji onwards 1990s-
gen2 was Super Junior onwards 2005-
gen3 was BTS onwards 2013-
gen3.5 probably needs to be a thing from gi-dle onwards 2018- but it was still a clear BTS rule until
gen4 probably started IVE/NewJeans onwards 2021/2022-

wdym

not kpop

uh oh weve got some personality drama look those two personalities are fighting

this discussion made kpg's collective IQ drop at least 45% what are any of you even saying

yep, knew it was you lmaaaao
you probably don't remember it was months ago, good to see you're just as retarded as always tho

stop or he's gonna have a manlets, coomers and roasties meltdown again

all these posts about jpop and literally none of you have hit the mark lol

gaypop gens work on an entirely different logic and timeline

the retards are fighting hooooly shit

you think jpop just developed trainee system and let idols live homeless? then what made akb48,sakurazaka46 etc?

respectfully, but you dont know shit anon

koreans literally say gen 2 starts with the earth shattering paradigm shift that was the debut of the RISING GODS OF THE EAST a.k.a TVXQ! a.k.a DBSK

sounds like i won that nmixx argument just like i proved gidle was gen4

why would i hit mork he never did anything to me

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!goodnight everyone see you all later

2nd gen: began with snsd
3rd gen: began with red velvet
4th gen: began with aespa
5th gen: began with h2h (pending until they can top the charts)

yeah like, where is TVXQ? where is EXO? that's why I also don't include them, too messy

so illit is 4th gen?

did you just coom really violently??

jpop sounds like shit, and has for decades
it's really that simple

most groups yea feel kinda cheap just like kpop but star solo's are among the levels of kanye or metallica

Jiwoo can top my chart iykwim

nah if i remember it right you ended up admitting to liking some of their songs from fe3o4 break so i got the last laugh
unless you're a completely different person and i'm the retarded one

kpop has only 2 eras and they are

before twice

after twice

Yes. Illit's indentity is being hybe store newjeans who's firmly in the 4th gen

4.5
;-)

if you want more proof your gen is defined by your prime years and not the year you debuted, exo debuted in 2012 but no one considers them 2nd gen

the difference between jpop and kpop is how people who listen to neither react when you tell them you listen to them.

jpop

seen as creepy and strange, pedophilic almost, what with all the frilly dresses, high-pitches, pigtails, and baby pinks and blues everywhere.

kpop

seen as weird and loser-ish, but not creepy. Thought of more as gay or "for-girls" than anything else, especially with how BTS and Blackpink are basically the faces of it and thus what people imagine. Groups like NewJeans were definitely ending that stigma though, what with random big name streamers openly dancing and listening to their stuff. You still don't want to get caught listening to it around men however.

no, there is just no trainee system at all
most j-idols live in their own homes
the akb groups are not representative of the majority of j-idols, and even if they were, they're still far behind korea's main companies

yes you're the retarded one im very sorry about that!

y .r.m fvn ej,rnx kwl

none of them top groups right now feel cheap, you're thinking about jpop only

korea thinks gidle is 4th gen btw
their opinion > yours

bro you're talking to miatranny one of the stupidest posters here

yeji pic

nah i was right on the money

right that is why jpop idols go and beg in japan oh wait that seems to be korean idols

eat dirt, you dont even know handlers run the life of almost all idols.....

spoiler

all of the idols are pets of execs in and outside the company

now say it without crying

KISS OF LIFE to make summer comeback in June, aiming to solidify ‘summer queen’ title

ah shit brothers get your HARD COCKS out and ready for sticky 2: sticky harder

you're very cringe

i meant most of the groups feel like relicas that is cheap and generic

top groups

anon no top group is cheap whether it is in korea,japan,china
