you said it already "Where there is no innovation, there's stagnation." it's because imo they're only group that is doing something new and different and you can see their impact already (mv themes & aesthetics of the other groups and the low-key songs) but 1 group is not enough.

Thank you all for the nice discussion. I agree with all of you, but to be quite honest, in essence, I have always been there for music. I've been a fan of K-pop since 2008, and the only group I stanned was only in 2016. I had my phases of getting sick of K-pop and finding it exciting again, so this is nothing new. This is not about me not being able to stan anymore (who has the time for that). But the reason why I made this thread is because I saw this discussion circulating here and there, and based on my current observation, it no longer has that huge buzz factor. To give you an example, compare how it was when top groups made their comebacks in the past (SNSD, BIGBANG, EXO, BTS, TWICE, BLACKPINK, and such). Everyone and their mother, fans and non-fans, were anticipating, and the hype was real. Now, take a look at the said groups who sell XX millions (which should indicate that they're absolutely the top). Aside from their own fandom, where is the hype and anticipation? In my opinion, K-pop is witnessing a stagnation now, and it's actually quite normal for any genre. (For example, how R&B used to be popular and mainstream, or any other music genre). it feels like a plateau

At first, I thought I was the only one feeling this way, probably because I've been a K-pop fan for a long time and I'm not that young anymore. So, it seemed natural for me to feel like K-pop isn't as exciting for me anymore. But, I've noticed that many fans are saying the same thing - that nothing in K-pop feels as special or thrilling as it used to be. In my opinion, K-pop hit its peak in terms of music with the 2nd gen. When it comes to popularity, like breaking records and achieving things no one thought possible, the 3rd gen definitely takes the cake. But now, it seems like there's not much left to achieve, and even the music itself has become less diverse. Many groups release songs that are forgotten just a week after they come out. K-pop has expanded so much that now many groups can succeed at the same time, thanks to the larger market. There's space for everyone, which is why we don't have clear top groups like before. It's great that everyone can have a shot, but it also means less competition and fewer fan rivalries, which used to be a part of what made K-pop toxic yet interesting at the same time. Gone are the days when the comeback of a super popular group used to create a massive buzz and idols getting younger and younger isn't helping either. it's very clear that the current trend is tiktok songs and teen fans, and it's fucking boring And don't get me started on album sales. They no longer make any sense. Before, when groups used to hit a huge number of sale, you could see their popularity reflected in various metrics, everywhere. But , right now, every group seems to hold a record for just a month, and it doesn't feel as special anymore. You wanna tell me that a group can sell XX million with no digital hit or whatsoever. . make it make sense please.
