i agree 5th gen is performing really bad right now both domestically and internationally
but no one seems to know WHY that is

open question to kpg: kpop is dying, but WHY? what caused it? any measurable theories?

actual good music. the "better," 5th gen still max out at 2 listenable songs (meovv, baemon).
lower nugu tier have 1 song, and then might even be lacking in visuals and stage performance as well, so then wtf do they have to build upon without any of that?
p**o weirdos can only carry a flop like h2h for so long. it's all been mid.
ablume was nice in 2025, but their whole situation is unique and it wasn't a big debut the way big 3 domestic groups have the payolla to do.

kpop always had tribalistic infighting though way more than wpop does so maybe we should not draw too many parallels between the two industries, i think the decline of the 'radio star' in the west and the recent decline of kpop are two very different (yet simultaneous) happenings

that's a key part of the issue here, established artists are making music to satisfy their current fandoms and they're not trying to cast the biggest net possible anymore to fish for a radio hit

so it's totally possible for a BTS song to hit top 10 global with 0 mass appeal
same thing goes for the taylor swift album by the way, those songs also hit top 10 global with 0 mass apeal
just appeasing their core fandoms

but does that explain why kpop is dying? lack of the GP tuning in? it doesnt feel quite satisfactory, it's a symptom not necessarily the cause

this board is usually dogshit but a few weeks ago someone made a thread berating the "death of the popstar" with some really good points and it really made me think

these past few years (especially after covid) there have been almost 0 "culture defining" moments that had a majority of people tuning in. Like you say, even western pop artists are becoming niche. Everyone is focusing on fostering their own fanbases. You couldn't have a Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber in todays climate. Social media definitely plays a role here. It's all very interesting.

In that thread OP was arguing that we're going back to a pre-internet type culture where most celebrities are micro-celebrities only known by local townsfolk (read, only known by a very specific social media audience), with very little potential for breakout stars. Wish there was someone writing about this

>but does that explain why kpop is dying?
Well first off, the SK population is literally dying. And we know their domestic darlings are IVE and aespa at the moment, any fandomfaggotry aside. Obviously all other groups occupy their own space, but it's a rather simple comparison. Can any nugu debut 5th gen compare at all to brand power, music discography, stage performance, live vocals of IVE or aespa, let alone LSF, NewJeans, NMIXX, etc.? Not even close, plus they're not doing English-friendly songs that can cross over the way a "one-hit wonder," like Cupid did.
A better question than
>"Why is 5th gen flopping?"
is
>"Why do we need new groups to debut?"
Old groups have their fandoms and staying power. Keep releasing music, and keep touring, that is what any successful artist (and the company behind them) should do. The companies shouldn't actively undermine or dilute their own product.

i dont think that really matters for a short term swings in popularity like what happened in gen 2 and is happening now, sure it skews the average listener profile a little bit older but those are gradual changes

>Obviously all other groups occupy their own space
i guess your argument is that every group has their own sound so there is no room for new groups to stand out?
doesn't make much sense as in the gen 3 days lots of groups were making the exact same style of music

even now you can mostly subdivide all gg songs in either drum & bass newjeans snoozecore or girlboss YG type stuff, there's always room for experimentation

No it was less about music and more about their general foothold in all facets of the industry and marketing appeal.
I meant it more like: a fan of NMIXX Bae isn't going to drop her overnight because HITGIS nugu kim debuted. That fan still likes NMIXX Bae, and the group is still active.
So nugu groups face an incredibly steep uphill climb in comparison to the explosive success some of gen 4 had like NewJeans. That kind of success is near impossible to replicate with how formulaic K-Pop can be, as felt with recent forgettable / mid debuts.

i agree that the "5th generation" name was mainly a marketing trick used by companies instead of a natural evolution, but the reason the companies tried to force through a new generation is BECAUSE their 4th gen groups werent hitting the same heights of BTS / BP whatever just a few years prior so they thought they needed something frehs. so 5th gen in a way is a result of the recent decline of kpop, not a cause

flopping is doing worse than their last album, labels and companies always want infinite growth if illit is not growing you can bet their label considers it a failure especially when we know they were supposed to replace their cashcow

that being said, i am aware that recommendation algorithms are specifically trained to make your interests and social circles as niche and hyperfocused as absolutely possible.

i.e. you liked a video about DIY, now your feed is entirely furniture videos... you liked a video about triples, now your feed is entirely triples... i heard they do this because they can serve you more targeted ads.

I get you. But it's hard to ignore it since social media has been so influential in the way society works for the last 10 or so years
