The theory of female idol generation that the opinions are still different…

Alright I now see why people say it's currently 4th gen although I still don't know when it starts. There's a shift on how things done thanks to pandemic, and right before it ifans have more significant effect on groups than, lets say on 2018.

I legit questioning op's lack of 2009 debutees aka the golden era of kpop (2ne1 t-ara f(x) etc).

Remember when 2009 was considered the start of the third gen? abra remembers

The impact was that big. 

(But no I wasnt here yet)

 

Edit : 3rd gen started in exo era, no? 2013/14? When physical albums matter again? The start of "you touch oppa and you die" era? The start of "public fed up with idols" and the reclining numbers of idol shows?

2012 (exo debut year) or 2013 (breakthrough year). This is mainly where the difference in opinions come in for some people.

But in most cases the debut year wins. Since in topics about Kpop generations, debut years are always highlighted not the year when each individual group had their breakthrough. That would be super confusing/extra trying to define that year for each group lol ><;;

Wait this reply makes me wonder IF brave girls phenomenon change things significantly it makes a "new generation" would people say 2011, when they debuted, 2017 when they rebranded/the viral song released, or 2021.

.......But I think this example is too extreme. Nvm.
