      It's called having a different sound. The thing about kpop is that you all are so used to the same sound. Nothing new. Like how are you treating artists with different sound as if they're from a new generation? Have you guys never heard western music? Each artist got their own charm and that's how it should be and is with kpop too. Kpop has some impeccable artists. For ex, red velvet, LE SSERAFIM or bts. All have their own charms. Can we have more groups sticking to certain sound and not jumping to concept to concept every comeback? Take for ex newjeans. What makes their fans loyal to them is their sound. They might only have a few songs but they keep their own sound they're known for in every single one.

    Hi kpop veteran here. Just a friendly correction. Most gens last roughly 7 years as kpop contracts last 7 years. A new gen starts when a lot of big groups debut together in the same year. Hence why 2012 is a new gen start and hence why 2018 is a new gen start. It does not depend on trends, because most trends in kpop last for a couple years on ends and can last over the end of a gen up to start of a new gen. Gen 4 is expected to end in 2024, which marks 2025 as the start of gen 5. By all means this is no attack to the video maker, but I need to correct misinformation being spread by newer fans. In case you wonder: I started since 2005. Yes. I'm a hag. But I do know how it works. I'm honestly a bit tired of newer gen fans spreading misinformation. Sorry. I hope you understand my frustration. Please do not send this video creator any hate. They likely also just heard some stuff via via. They're not at fault for the OG fans that don't correct new fans as much as they should. By all means I do not meant to send hate. Just spreading how kpop really works.

It's more that mnet needs to make a show before the end of the year and they don't want to rush in a few days, so the prep ages ahead to get it out of the way.

    I feel like people need to realise that we as fans have no control on how the system works. It reminds me of a business analogy that a teacher taught me once and it’s “product and service” a product is something you can touch but a service you cannot, the generation system is not a physical thing so we will have no control of it. The only people I think that can have a say in when it starts or finishes is the companies behind kpop. For example mnet, mnet is a big kpop company and I don’t think that international fans understand how influential and big mnet is so if they say that when something is going to start no one is really going to retaliate

    Genre changes don't define k-pop generations, they're a _result_ of generational shifts. The generational shifts are defined by changes in target markets (both in terms of demographics and localities), dominant companies in the market (remember when DSP was one of the big ones?), and geopolitics (how friendly are Korea and Japan right now? What about Korea and China?). So I don't think 5th gen will emerge until there's some new major change (maybe it's China thawing the K-Ent partial ban, maybe it'll be some new app taking over TikTok's dominance, maybe it'll be the final collapse of SM, idk).

    • @zipzapkpop
      @zipzapkpop Рік тому +11

      I personally think it had already shifted last year. If 4th gen is sth that was still obviously targeted to the MZ generation, these rookie groups are now fully Gen Z. The shift of media and content; end of Vlive, the huge impact Tiktok has on music and fashion, apps like weverse, the death of TV and upsurge of UA-cam content (not just KPop, but variety as well; even korean comedians started having their own channels and shows). Hell, even unknown companies now can have a shot at Billboard. Also, while HYBE/Bighit had been doing incredibly great for the last 5 years, their influence had never been more apparent than last year. All of these had planted its seeds in the past couple of years, culminating in the industry landscape that we had seen starting last year. It's no surprise, really, as during the pandemic the industry started restructuring in order to stay afloat; it's no wonder that we see the fruits of it today. That's why I'm more inclined to call 2018-2021 as 3.5 gen than lump 2018-to 2023 as one generation, there's just no way they are the same.

    Personally I determine generations by 6-7 years: when groups from previous gens are going thru contract negotiations, but I do agree this gen feels very split. It feels like 2020 cut gen 4 in half or something. Groups from 2018/19 feel so far removed from groups that debuted in 2020/21 and groups that debuted in 22 feel even farther removed in my opinion. So the bridge between gen4 and 5 does feel a bit blended together. I see it as gen 4 for groups that debuted 2018-2020 and then late gen 4/early gen 5 for groups that debuted 2021-2023. Its the same with age generations; people don't know what generation they are really from unless they were born in the middle of it lol.

    Ummm so I remember in 2017/18 it was really apparent that 4th gen had started. It almost felt like a shared conciousness, as if we all collectively, without having to deliberate, looked around and saw that something new was emerging with groups like GIDLE, IZONE, LOONA, NCT... and I still don't feel that RIGHT NOW. 2022 for sure had a similar quality, being an anomaly on how much new groups and good music were suddenly brought to stage, however I personally see that as "the peak of the fourth generation" rather than the start of a new one, much like how 2015/16 was for the third generation with the rise of TWICE, GFriend, SVT, Blackpink etc. I still see NewJeans and IVE as being 4th gen, and I think we'll be in it for at least the rest of this year and for the next one as well.
    I would also personally argue talent has seen a decrease in 4th gen compared to 2nd and 3rd. Just looking at SM groups, aespa just doesn't reach the level of vocal and dance that SNSD, f(x) and RV had. There certainly are exceptions to that rule, but still I think 4th gen is falling behind a little on technique on the expense of arguably performance and visual quality.
    Anyway, those are my two cents! This video was very thoughtful and well edited, your work is impressive.

Idk, I feel like there was more interaction between idols through tiktok and other social media platforms (I remember Gen 4 being criticized for having the least amount of interaction between idols), we started getting idol interaction moments on award shows and all, there was a change in sound (New Jeans and Le Sserafim dominated 2022 and their songs sound very different), there has been an increase in the importance of idols writing and producing their own music (it was considered an achievement before but now it's almost considered a necessity). I do feel 2022 is a transitioning year from Gen 4 to Gen 5.

    Seo taji and boys 1gen 1992
    SUPER JUNIOR 2 gen 2005 but they're cross gen because they're still active .
    EXO / BTS 2012/2013 2.5 gen or cross gen
    GFRIEND / RED VELVET 3rd gen 2015

    From my point of view, the sheer highness is the changing factor between 4th & 5th gen. I personally think 5th gen started with IVE's debut.
    When i think of 2017-2021 groups (Itzy, Stray Kids, TxT, Iz*One, The Boyz, (G)-Idle, Loona, Enhypen, Everglow, Aespa) i think of acquaintances. People who i happened to see here and there, and i could enjoy their music too. Now, newer groups feel like people who i kind of "revere" on some strange way. Like, maybe it's because of their concepts, but groups like XG, IVE, Le Sserafim, even Kep1er, or New Jeans, i just can't see them as "friends".
    Groups before i felt (and still do) proud, happy, excited whenever they had a new release or a show win. Now, everything seems so posed, so overexecuted, so trained and pre-planed, that i just can't get behind the idea of actually seeing them as normal humans. They always look perfect, scandals are adressed by the companies in seconds, not even giving them the space to apologize properly, they are debuting younger by the minute, so they barely have a past, or experiences to talk about. It almost feel like they were born already planning to become idols.

    i feel like i'm losing my mind, because all the things you mentioned as indicators of the start of the 5th gen are things that have been going on already since early 4th gen? like... bubble is not new, us tours are not new, the increased focus on choreo is not new (seriously, people have been discussing this shift since the damn pandemic started, you cannot be sitting here trying to tell me 3rd and 4th gen were the same in this aspect), hell, the global sourcing of talent for song production and choreo is at least as old as 2nd gen, go have a look through the credits for sm groups
    idk dude. most of these things aren't some shocking new development, they're the very clear natural gradual progression of how thing's have been going, combined with some groups blowing up very big very fast and tricking you into thinking they invented a new concept, rather than just making clever use of existing trends
    none of this is upset or anything to be clear, this is a beautifully edited video and i respect the argument, i just can't connect it to how i actually experienced kpop in the last seven years i've been listening to it

      whilst i agree we’re not in 5th gen just yet, 4th gen definitely hasn’t ‘barely even started’. 4th gen started, 5 years ago, in 2018. so i’d say we’re at least like 3/4 of the way through it right now.
