Why isn't anyone complaining about the "overdone" girl crush trend?

yeah, it is being overdone these days, it seems like there's been a big shift in the industry. i'm tired of people and media making it seem like girl crush is somehow superior because of feminism, a softer concept can easily be empowering too if you approach it well.

but overall, i'm getting tired of putting girl group concepts in either "cute" or "girl crush" category. it seems like people reduce girl group concepts to such basic ideas while a lot of boy groups have the same exact themes for their comebacks and no one bats an eye. i hope more ggs get to take on concepts that don't neatly fit in just one box in the future

Idg why people keep pushing this narrative. Bgs are literally dragged all the time for doing "generic dark/cool guy concepts", especially in stan twitter, while girl crush is actually overpraised when both are the same thing.

i've seen posts like that too, but stan twitter has a lot of very "loud" characters that will make something seem more generally agreed on than it actually is. by this i mean that gg stans tend to be more vocal on that sort of thing. i've been on two very different sides of kpop twitter and people have very opposing opinions on the matter from what i've seen. at the end of the day, i do believe gg concepts are far more debated (imo). also, i think maybe i wasn't explicit enough about it but the thing about girl crush being overpraised i actually agree with
