Is the dominant 4th gen boy group sound starting to feel repetitive? I ask if there's still a need for it. In today’s episode, I play brief examples from ATEEZ and Stray Kids to break down where their signature styles still hit and where they might be treading familiar ground.

I also talk about the backlash CORTIS faced after their halftime show performance and why the reaction says a lot about shifting expectations for boy groups right now.

When does a signature sound become a safety net?
