DON’T GET ME WRONG, there’s been some good releases this year but there hasn’t been a single release that has my jaw DROPPED (compared to last year especially). I will take in account that we are only in september but I feel like there should’ve been more than 3 really really good releases by now but there haven’t 🤷🏾♀️. 2024 (and 2023) was definitely better in terms of music. I can name like at least 5 (in fact way more) Kpop songs that had me like speechless: Supernova, Armageddon, Supernatural, How Sweet, Heya, Accendio, Impossible, Supersonic, Cosmic, Magnetic, Tick Tack, APT, Rockstar, Mantra, TTYL, Super Lady, CRAZY, Loop and i know there’s way more but man we had SERIOUS and SOLID HITS last year. But this year like the only wowing releases were Like Jennie and literally KPDH. The rest are just meh. Other good releases or groups in general that wowed me imo were Jellyous, ADP and Cortis. The only group that I’m probably gonna keep on my list this year is Cortis, they are already amazing and i pray that their next comeback will also be as good as this debut era. You probably will guess how I feel about aespa. NewJeans is in court but they would’ve guaranteed a good release let’s be real 💔 and IVE was also pretty good tbh. But it’s very disappointing for me because last year i liked about 85% of releases. This year I’m gonna say i only liked about 20% of releases. It could also be that maybe I’m not stanning the right groups but I never usually just hang tight to one group I listen to most releases, even from groups i don’t stan. 2023 kpop was so peak but also lowkey peaceful like man i miss it so bad 😭💔 And i feel like people are gonna name nugu groups and i’m so so sorry but there’s a reason why certain groups are or are going to stay nugu and there’s a reason why certain groups are big and are going to stay big. Anyways 2023-2024 definitely raised my standards but I will keep in mind that we still have 3 months of this year left and i know certain groups are yet to have a comeback (BND, Lsrfm and probably more). So I will still keep myself open but i’m still quite disappointed and only have an ounce of hope for this year. Am I just not listening to enough groups or do you agree? submitted by /u/Head-Surprise-3156 [link] [comments]
