The thing about IVE their songs have been pop perfection but they’re polished and perfectly curated to the point their videos are almost too much in large doses, also the editiiiing why don’t you let me see the girls blink i promise you don’t need that many cuts. And in the end their perfection is also a double edged sword, their songs feel (=/= are) even more manufactured than kpop usually suggests

Hi i love reading your kpop answers and your kpop analysis of dance, clothing, and vocals. It definetly helped me understand a little bit more about the more "mechanics" of kpop and also distinguish what i do/don't like and why.
For one of your answers you described kpop as kind of "maximillist", so i'm wondering what are your favorite kpop outfits thats are maximillist?
hi hello!! i'm so glad you've been enjoying it here!
and fave maximalist outfits......well for starters i'm just gonna have to say point blank that it's triangle and anyone who disagrees with me is factually incorrect. but to be more serious about it, the best maximalist stylings are the ones that really dig deep and get really granular about everything in the concept, not just the clothing. it's about the clothing, the sets, the lighting, the song choice, and even the mv editing too. kpop as a baseline is already quite maximalist anyways, so when you do get someone that pushes it properly it's usually very good because a stylist has to be really confident to even attempt it in the first place. or it's 2011. one or the other. since most of my fave stylings from the last few years have been maximalist anyways and y'all already know my greatest hits (take over, ping pong, goblin, etc etc just check any of my fave styling posts) and the ones from this year will be in the end of year best of list, i'm gonna go for some older ones this time:
literally any this love stage
the queen herself tarantellegra
the other queen dream girl
the other other queen catallena
obvs the gold armour outfit from flower but i don't think we talk enough about how hard the blue under-eyeliner and silver acrylics go
everything that's happening in the 100% beat mv
any beautiful target stage, including this one where jinyoung looks to be wearing a skinned muppet and whatever 2012 gay teenager construction core this is
catch me is insane on its own, but the fact that occasionally some of the arms are practical lights in the stages? iconique

I’m dying over here waiting for “Not Your Girl” to drop for real, but “Kitsch” is a good way to keep me distracted until April 10th.
