ethereal 20,923 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 txt is gearing up for quite the explosive debut in about 11 hours. of course it will take a few comebacks and more activities from them to solidify their status as the 4th gen torch bearers. but i feel like 3rd is as set in stone as it can be. a new generation of top groups is upon us and from the new bgs, already debuted and upcoming, txt is already looking like a front runner, if not THE front runner. thoughts?

Solemn_Penance 949 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Until BTS, Twice, Red Velvet, Blackpink are no longer in their prime, this is still 3rd gen. We're kind of like in 3.5 gen much like AOA, Apink and EXO are 2.5 gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're kind of like in 3.5 gen much like AOA, Apink and EXO are 2.5 gen. i somewhat agree with this but, like, is it impossible for multiple generations to coexist? i mean, there was a stark distinction between first and second gen because legit all of the first gen groups disbanded. second gen did indeed fall off significantly leaving ample space for third gen tho many of those groups are still around, but idk. i feel like there could be multiple lvls of multigenerational successful groups existing in the same space.

Usagi. 13,668 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 It's hard to tell, even more because the generations in KPOP can have a messy separation. I would say that to start an actual 4th gen, the current 3rd gen groups would need to have peaked, so new groups will take over. So for separation, I think it will maybe be a 3.5 generation.

celestial_stxr 784 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Anticipate ROTY in a few hours! And, I think we're still in 3rd gen because the big groups are still killing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coval 9,036 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 1st Generation - 1991 - 1999 (8 years) ~ gap of 4 years before TVXQ debuted) ~ 2nd Generation - 2003 - 2011 (8 years) 3rd Generation - 2012 - ? 2020 4th Generation - 2021 - 2029 (estimate) going by pattern a new kpop starts every 8 or so years so pretty much they could be seen more as 3.5 gen Like fx to SNSD or Shinee to Superjunior Itzy & TXT are seen more as compliments to their seniors rather than "replacements" so this generation hasn't really ended yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakey26 80 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 4th generation starts around 2021/2022. 2nd generation started like a year or two after Boa debuted which was 2000. So 2nd gen started around 2001/2002. 3rd gen started 2012 with the rivalry of EXO and B.A.P. We are currently in 3.5 gen, once 2021/2022 hits and these 3rd gen idols start fading out then there'll be a shift. Though I guess the whole thing CAN be quite confusing to keep track of.
