Is it the noisy edm beats that ifans enjoy & not the girl-crush concept itself?

i-fans definitely prefer more hard hitting songs but I think the problem with Bvndit is that they're just not popular. If Blackpink, Gidle, Everglow or even CLC released a more chill bop everyone would eat it up because they're popular.

not sure I’d describe all the recent “girl crush” release: by gg’s KTL rip-offs. None carry the same sound and are pretty distinct from it, they have different sub genres for the base. KTL also wasn’t the first of its kind if we go off of the general grouping you’re using. Like someone mentioned above you can’t just lump them all in together. Just as rock and jazz have sub genres with different sounds, Kpop groups are releasing different sub genred edm as well. 

 

Differentiating them by just using “noisy” and “good” by preference is bubble talk.

 

Everglow's Adios definitely has some KTL vibe tho. Similar structure, the "marching" sound, similar concept etc. In fact more people started to check out Everglow for the comparisons between KTL and Adios. ANS' Say my name has that similar BP/Everglow-esque vibe as well.

I don’t even know what girl crush is anymore. Almost everything not cute is called girl crush these days. I don’t remember it being that black and white when I got into kpop in 2012. 

Because there's different "degrees" of girl crush, the main being the "badass" type like Blackpink, Everglow, CLC and G-idle, and another more light version called "teen crush", more youthful, colorful and fresh but still not totally cute/soft like lovelyz or early A Pink. Examples:

Badass girl crush
