Who's The Most Talented Vocalist Starting With The Letter S

[this post isn't intended to be about cultural appropriation AT ALL, and i'll only briefly mention one instance to make my point.] So recently i came across a post criticizing stray kids for the creed teaser, and like any other CA discussion it was...heavy to say the least. which is why i don't wanna talk about that at all. what i really wanna talk about is how stupid this whole thing is. Now i'm a stay myself, and like...a biblically accurate one lol. I was a 3racha soundcloud era girlie before i was a stay, so i'm serious when i say i could probably write a dissertation on the progression of stray kids as both artists and promoting idols. and what i see right now is honestly kinda embarrassing. hear me out for a second. let's just pretend like morality isn't in the question here. because personally, the bandana didn't bother or offend me. but can we please just...look at how goddamn STUPID it looks on him? he looks white as snow, acting painfully corny and wearing this tough setup. there's no other way to describe it, it's cringe. this is something that comes across even outside the creed teaser and CA discussion. like with the tracklist of ATE for example. stray kids' lyricism is being sabotaged by this tough, corny persona they're trying to put up, like they can't stop talking about how hard they try and how cool they are. and this wasn't a problem back when they weren't the BIGGEST 4th gen act, when they actually had something to prove instead of gloating for the hell of it. their older albums have much more variety both in terms of music production and lyricism. now let's take a look at ATE's tracklist. Mountains: typical album opener, great song. lyrics are about how cool they are and how hard they try. Chk Chk Boom: title track, absolute banger. lyrics are about how cool they are and how hard they try. JJAM: fun song, lyrics are about how cool they are and how hard they try, and Runners and Stray Kids ARE LITERALLY THE SAME THING. i felt crazy when i first listened to ATE because it felt like the Chan I respected as a producer and composer was replaced by a guy with one really good idea for a track, and he just kept making that track over and over and over again. Twilight and I Like it were the only songs that sounded even a little bit different, which is WILD considering their previous album, Rock Star, had an insane variety and was one the BEST kpop projects of 2023. compared to how fantastic rockstar was, i found ATE's lyricism corny, cringe and even boring in some parts. what was especially weird to me was releasing ate after Giant, which had the exact same message. i just feel like the more popular stray kids get, the pressure to keep doing what made them so big in the first place is getting to them. stray kids B-sides have always been some of the BEST music kpop has to offer, but listening to ATE and realizing lyrically they have nothing new to offer was...weird. and i wanna circle back to creed's teaser again, to look at it through this lens instead of the morality lens. their gang image is boring more than anything. it screams 'i'm so cool. you can't fuck with me.', except you've been saying that for 3 whole projects now, WE ALL KNOW. this bland, monochrome image is devoid of the artistery that made me fall in love with stray kids. it makes me wonder if Karma's gonna be similar. and if i'm being honest, the teasers don't look very promising either. anyways, i wanna know if you've noticed the shift in their image too, and what you think about it. hopefully we can have a productive conversation about this. submitted by /u/YogurtclosetTiny9544 [link] [comments]

I’ll go first. Twice ⬆️ - For being featured on kpop demon hunters and recently having a good set at Coachella. Also continuing to release 4th full album and next Japanese album. Just being ultra popular and also fairly active is more than can be said for the other ultra popular groups. Ive ➡️ - They’re still very popular, but I feel like some groups are catching up. Their new music isn’t as popular or award winning as their previous music. I do feel like Rei is continuing to gain fans though and Wonyoung/Yunjin are still very popular. Itzy ⬇️ - Their new music is having difficulty with popularity and also low album sales, but I’m hopeful the new kpopped show can help give them a push. Imaginary Friends was a good direction, but it didn’t get enough attention. Nmixx ⬆️ - Latest album sold well compared to other 4th gen leaders. Latest album is also the highest rated kpop album of 2025 on RateYourMusic. They released Ridin on street fighter woman which did well. Also recently Lily had the #1 TikTok post for Kpop Demon Hunters song Golden, which was mega trending. They seem good at getting collabs with artists as big or bigger than they are. Kiss of Life ⬇️ They’ve apologized like four times now, but I’m not sure it will ever be enough. Pulling out of Kcon recently was a big signal that issues remain. It’s a real shame because this group had a lot of potential. submitted by /u/Sad_Abbreviations326 [link] [comments]

I've really liked Badvillian ever since their debut song " Bad Villain " and was getting invested in them to see what they come up with next, but lately I've been really disappointed in what thebigplanet is doing with them. For a new group they are very neglected when it comes to giving them songs in my opinion. They have released very few songs within the span of a year and a half. And the whenever their songs do release and gain traction it dies super quick due to them barley promoting it. This group feels like they drop a song and then disappear. 2025 is almost over and no news ( to my knowledge ) about them having any combacks or even an album planned. I dont Really hear anything about them that's truly new to them as a group. It feels like they had this momentum that very quickly died out and TBP is having them sit in some kind of limbo. They are still new as a group, but I'm just worried that they are getting pushed to the side already when they just started !? submitted by /u/MochaMilku [link] [comments]
