looking at the 3rd Gen Girl group trio (Red Velvet, Twice, Blackpink) they seem to have had a more stable core fanbase PLUS GP hype, espeicially when they were the same age as current 4th gen ggs. i noticed howewer, that 4th gen ggs seem to be losing the GP faster than how the 3rd gen did.
for example with Itzy, Le Sserafim, IVE, etc., fans called them flop 3 years in the career, but now that those groups are around the same age as Itzy, they’ve also been experiencing chart decline recently. i see their fans getting worried that they might debut and maintain lower and lower chart position every comeback until they won’t chart anymore, just Itzy.
another interesting thing is how fast the GP seemed to have moved on to 5th gen.
I guess the only exception right now is Aespa. Maybe New Jeans if they weren’t put on hold. But I remember when they were saying that “the new TWICEPINKVELVET” was “this group” “and that groups” but i feel like they spoke too soon? i agree that twice struggled with charting, but Twice is Twice, just like Blackpink, they still did massive worldwide tour numbers recently. will any of these 4th gen ggs be able to do massive tours like twice and blackpink 10 years into their careers?
So I’m honestly so curious to see where these 4th gen gg groups would be, both in charts, influence, tour numbers, and general public perception in 10 Years (just like TWICE, BP, and even Red Velvet).
**Please correct me if i’m wrong with the charts data.
