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

[YeoChin Fairies]

Cause everyone complained about the cute and innocent trend around 2015-2016 and look where we are now. The girl crush concept is even more overdone nowadays. And no one seems to be complaining.

I will forever be pressed about this fact, how kpop changed path so drastically tbh. It made me way less interested in Kpop after almost 10 years of being a stan. Not necessarily "against" girl crush concept, but I remember how people said school uniforms hurt their eyes back then, and now we are clearly seeing as much girl crush as we saw cute back then. It's just... overdone. 

 

 

Spoiler

What makes me most pressed is knowing how most girl groups had their first or biggest hits with cute and innocent concepts. There are ones who didn't but they are way less in number, and nowadays that everyone does girl crush concepts, most ggs are extremely weak digitally compared to what they were, unless they have their company's brand like BP. Why would they change kpop's path and ruin their potential as digital sellers.

^ Ugh that is shocking because there are many cute concepts/songs with empowering lyrics.

Because it's unpopular opinion and it only means you dislike it when women are empowering themselves

I don't mind any concepts, but everything done too often would cause boredom. 

I don't even think of girl crush as women empowerment. Empowered by.... certain style of outfits? Cause most girl crush songs have an average love song's lyrics. Very few of them are related to women empowerment but... well some few songs with cute or sexy or any other concept have those empowering lyrics so I see no difference.

I don't care as long as I like the song. 

That's a good point, as a very visual person, first thing which attracted me to Kpop was the aesthetics of MVs that I loved, such as Oh from SNSD. So I mostly joined for the visuals and listened to western songs if considering music solely. But even music wise, so many girl crush songs have these drastic weird drops or noises which I dislike.

i like all concepts but it is just awkward when a grown woman act like a child

I hear this a lot as well, and some idols seem to hate it but there are some which still naturally do it even after they grow up, even if their group's concept is nothing related to cute, you see them enjoy themselves being cute in a fansign. Also not all cute/innocent concepts seem forced to me. For example Gfriend's love whisper or Oh My Girl's SSFWL seemed quite natural to me, even objectively.

People talking about Teen crush concept.. is there any example of that cause I didn't even know it was a thing?..

And I just like the song regardless of the concept, concept is just a bonus. However Kpop always gonna be about trends. 

Think Itzy or weki meki
