has the age of hip pop, "try hard" concepts for rookie boy groups passed?

a new era is upon us. 

[Fatalite]

God, I hope so. 

[solbin's girl]

I hope so, these aren't much better tho.

[424]

God, I hope so. 

[VARSITY]

lol  what were the try hard hip hop concepts that debuted the only ones i can think of is bts and bap but maybe some of them flopped so idk

 

a lot of groups dont start out with hip hop concepts and then do them for comebacks

[valentinna]

try-hard cute is worse imo

[+CIEL+]

so we're trading try hard hip hop concepts for try hard cutesy concepts

 

 

mess

[Joga]

Yes, Astro and KNK are the start of a new revolution.

No matter what. School concepts will always exist.

[MidnightEXO]

cute is worst at least 4 me 

[piccolo's girlfriend]

i would rather have hip hop oriented than super cutesy imo

although id be a LIAR if i said i havent been bopping to lollipop almost every day since it came out 

[deobizone]

If pentagon done dirty w/ either of these concept

 

c*be better watch ha back

[Seulchu]

hip hop is still the trend in Korea so I don't think so

[í™©ì œë‹˜ 팬]

i've never heard of the last group but i think  i liked them the best 

[Jiyu]

I hope so, these aren't much better tho.

[prince of peace]

i would rather have hip hop oriented than super cutesy imo

[Homiez]

[ethereal]

so we're trading try hard hip hop concepts for try hard cutesy concepts

 

 

mess

but where's the cutesy tho, tbh?  firstly my main point here was that these groups are more vocal oriented. also that knk song is far from "cute". but anyway i think these are more neutral concepts. like, boyfriend's debut song boyfriend is what i consider boy group cutesy. 

[munaka]

Hiphop is still popular though so I don't think so 

Anyways knk's song is soo good, the chorus gets me so pumped up.   

[Najaflow]

hip hop is still the trend in Korea so I don't think so

[SAUCY]

these are awful 

[Delusion_Angel]

Yes. KNK and Astro need people's love. Especially KNK, considering Astro already has quite a big fandom.

[You Need Some Milk]

It was cool when B.A.P did it in 2012 but then it got lame when every company was trying to debut a hardcore hip hop influenced group (with the exception of a few). But overly cutesy concepts are still cringeworthy imo.

[CharmSparks]

Meh, they didn't bother me a lot, but I'll admit it got kind of old after a while, so I'll welcome the change. KNK tho
