Should NMIXX return to Mixxpop? 

I honestly think DICE was the perfect example of how mixxpop should be it wasn’t to drastic and to long on top of that it was Catchy so it was imo perfectly executed

I don't think the community will accept mixx pop. Its unfortunate for me because I *loved* the chaos that was Dice, OO and Tank.

I genuinely missed the Mixxpop from O.O and DICE, they are offputting at the start but i enjoyed the upbeat and changes to keep me occupied. Upbeat songs suits them and DICE definitely is their best colour

i recently relistened to 'expergo' & although it isn't totally unique, it is nmixx to their very core & jyp should use it as a clean slate to start over from. maybe aeshetic wise, frame them as a group who's figuring things out with the use of fairytales, children's stories, or shakespeare plays? +if they debuted with 'expergo', i honestly think their "reputation" amongst fans wouldn't be as bad.

Crazy coincidence that I literally have been binging in their music this entire week which I never actually do and now you posted a video about them!

Reminds me of Cravity’s situation.. people wanted them to change their debut concept, and when they did said people didn’t come back even when they found a fitting concept.

I think the problem mainly is their vocal mixing, because often their more explosive notes that should feel grand, overshadowed by a loud, even more explosive instrumental. Showcasing their pretty voices and abilities should be of more importance than a catchy instrumental in my opinion

i can see why jyp decided to go for the experimental/girl crush route as it differentiates them from itzy & twice and though girl crush is an oversaturated genre, we haven't seen an "experimental" girl group in a long time, but i don't think much abt nmixx was thought through.

Yeah idk if the mixxpop should be incorporated into the individual songs themselves I think they should mix the concepts themselves and be known as a group that is talented and can pull of any type of song instead of mixing different songs into one.

Mixxpop is unfortunately a double-edged sword. On one end, you will have people angry that they ditched the mixxpop; the fans who were here from the beginning. But on the other side, you have people who despite mixxpop. With the competency of JYP, I honestly think it's for the best they stay away from mixxpop. Out of all the issues that JYP is experiencing nowadays, NMIXX has to be the biggest mistake they've made. These girls are the most talented amongst their generation and JYP did exactly what you said; they used them as shock value when they had more than enough talent to make it to the top. NMIXX still have a chance though and I hope that JYP sorts their shit together, not only for NMIXX sake, but for all their other groups.

yeah i mean i’m a former a cappella singer, so i LOVE mashups & songs that sound like mashups!! my issue with nmixx has always been the production & not the mixxpop idea-their production has become more tolerable over time, especially as their releases have gotten softer, so i think if they took that soft sound & added in the mashup aspect it would be SO cool and the production wouldn’t ruin the songs for me !!

you miss the point Now is the era of "real" idols The success of girl groups lies in idol packaging and popularity It’s not about the quality of the song LE SSERAFIM and IVE are both on IZ*ONE Without the former members of IZ*ONE, there would be no success at all After the disillusionment of the myth of 이수만 Fans of SM Entertainment were originally moved to 민희진 Then transfer to NewJeans Today’s world is all about chasing the charm of idols It’s not about how good the song is This year a male idol sang a cover song It has no originality but has been rated as the best song by many RU-vidR Just because he is famous and has a lot of fans There are over a hundred KPOP songs in a given week What you hear is filtered In an era of economic downturn Idols are far more important than songs

My ult grup is NMIXX, honestly i don't even care about their music and i always appreciate what nmixx do Well my taste/type of music is rock band/Group Band NOT BOYGROUP/GIRLGROUP it's different consept performance for example, Xdionaryheroes and DAY6 ,i wish oneday nmixx will have a rockband song or maybe they will performing like a band(no dancing just play acoustic and sing)

final answer: nmixx cant win, everyone hated mixxpop and yet once they drop it everyone wants it back despite still hating it. On top of this losing a member and being overworked would be so stressful.

Something I think about a lot is when Stray Kids released S-Class and it had the mixxpop section everyone was like "omg its so good!" but when NMIXX did the exact same thing a year prior and were literally called the worst debut of all time.

Personally as long as they keep making great songs I don't care if it's Mix Pop or not. Dice is my favorite song by them but I didn't care for their debut songs. Ever since Dice I've loved all their music even Young, Dumb, Stupid. The way I look at Nmixx now is the mixx part of their name just means they just mix up their concept.

I love party o'clock and roller coaster and I didn't mind Dice and O.O BUT I absolutely despised Tank. As an Nswer, I really couldn't care less about the genre. What's important to me is that the music shines the light on the strengths of each member so they can all shine and that it sounds good. I definitely enjoy their 2 new songs better than the rest they've put out though so my vote would be no, they should just stick with what works now. Heck I wouldn't even mind if they just did covers because they are so good at it!

Thank you for mentioning the skz thing. If I see any issue with one of their songs, they will freak.

I really miss them on Mixxpop, the strong vocals and sound of o.o, tank and dice was amazing. At the begining o.o shocked me, but I got to love it, and tank was the perfect complement. Dice was amazing, I couldn't stop listening to it. I remember most of the backlash they got with o.o and dice, was that the lyrics were empty and didn't make any sense, so maybe they should've improve that before changing the whole genre... But well, hopefully they'll comeback with some middle point between party o'clock and dice, although as you say, I don't really see much effort from JYP in general, looks like he's ready to retire xD

answering the title before even watching: yes they absolutely should god pls

I've been so disappointed with their songs since they stopped doing Mixxpop. O.O and DICE were incredibly interesting songs, and honestly just good songs too. To debut with such a strong and brave concept was exciting, and it's a huge shame JYP has taken away their unique identity and made them more middle of the road.

Probably the most unpopular opinion but i do not care about the quality of the music and genuinely love the mix pop, it felt like listening to really good different songs at once and that made me happy

I feel that they are doing a reverse of O.O and dice rn. They just split O.O up into 2 separate versions. So what's stopping them from splicing 2 songs together to make mixxpop. I mean look at expergo and ANMD. They each have 2 songs with completely different vibes but with related concepts. I feel that in the near future we will be getting the combined version of the songs in expergo and ANMD and it'll be a tasty treat. Also just my opinion, no one does the NMIXX transitions like how jinni does it. She was so vital to the change up and gave the transitions an actual identity. Maybe its a homage to jinni that they scraped the mixxing but highly unlikely. They are probably waiting to drop mixed versions on us like how they split up O.O right in our faces.

Dice by far has the same feeling with Twice's TT and I like it so very much!!

NMIXX's M/Vs are COOL !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mixxpop has a lot of potential & it'll set the girls apart from other kpop groups whose main existence is to please the general public by releasing easy sounding song meant for social media BUT div4 is fucking lazy & incompetent in finding the RIGHT team of composers & producers that executes mixxpop better than The Hub.

Oh here we go again with this discourse nmixx whole concept in changing sounds and concepts, the n in nmixx stands for “now” “new” “next” and unknown “n” while “mix” symbolizes combination and diversity to create the best combinations. Nmixx will always be changing their concepts and sounds now their recent single doesn’t have mixpop but has elements to it while expergo has mixxpop on the besides if you don’t know shit abt nmixx don’t talk about it!

I actually unironically love O.O but maybe that’s because it’s a great dance track and I’m used to the shitty cutting between songs that are common in the dance scene

I dont like OO and Dice when they first released. But i love them now 😂

I think JYP should have asked/brought in a Korean hyperpop artist for help with mixx pop production, especially since NMIXX is technically under one of JYP’s subsidiaries, kinda like how LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans sound very different. Genre mashing takes a visionary to truly make it work (RIP Sophie & long live PC Music), and a very particular kind of audience, which they didn’t quite get right with either. I loved mixx pop and would love to see NMIXX return to that sound, but we all know money shouts the loudest.

I think it's a bit ironic in hindsight you made this video since it turned out not only did they return to Mixxpop with Fe3O4, they doubled down on the style, and this time were FINALLY rewarded for it. Full Truth: I didn't really like "O.O" at first but over time it grew on me and I loved "DICE" and every subsequent "Mixxpop" song on first listen. Of course NMIXX is that rare group able to conquer any genre, so I like their non-MP tracks too.

i feel like i want to like nmixx because the members seem fun. their mixxed songs sound good separately. and lily is super talented and funny. but that debut left such a bad taste in my mouth that i feel like i couldn't fully like them. i checked each comeback just in case i liked it but it wasn't until this year i started liking their songs. I did like tank though. also i think o.o would be 60% better without that intro rap. i cannot take shoog woog woog seriously

How did itzy drop there concept?

YES.

Unfortunately as much as I loved it they’ll just get more people disliking their songs

I’m happy they switched up their concept but I wish they stuck to songs like party o clock, roller coaster , and young dumb stupid. All their mix pop and love me like this are too mature I find that the girls like unnatural (with some exceptions) when performing which is why i think they should wait until they are older to really embrace those songs. I believe mixx pop can sale but the girls are ready to embody the concept which will add fire to the fuel of hate that already occurs when something jarring happens in a song (like mix pop does). It rooms a high level performer to be able to handle that concept and I think NMIXX are the right people but wrong time. Overall I think I liked OO and tank a lot more than dice because it felt refreshing, angelic, catholic, dramatic, and mature. I get the hate because it does not flow. But when I listen to it similarly to how I listen to a Les Miserable song, I enjoy it a lot more. I think once people learn how to listen to it, they will find it good, considering many people around the world listen to classical and musical theratre music

While I am not a fan of O.O or Dice. I will say that the concept was unique. There was something to watch and look forward to. With the right producers, it could work. Dice was definitely a step in the right direction. It can be done, look at Savage and Next Level. I think the sections need to be less jarring and flow into each other.

saying itzy got no competition when debuting when they were literally going against monsters like bp bts twice and at a time where gidle,txt n izone were very active n succesfull is smth

Even though I didn`t like O.O and Tank for about a year and just started to like it in this spring, I`m a little bit sad that they don`t do mixxpop now. But from a business side I understand it. Some people called O.O. the worst debut song of all time which i think is a very mean and unnecessary title. They got so much hate for this song so I`m really not surprised that they changed it. Not just because the "normal" concept makes better sells but also because of the mental health of the members. I don`t want to know how sad the members might have been seeing all the hate for their debut song. I`m sure this wasn`t very good for their mental health and I know JYP is bad in handling the mental health of his artists (I mean... look at Twice) but still he has to have an eye on that. So yeah I`m sad that they don`t do it anymore but I can understand why they did it.

I know in your izone video you said you might take another break, but i wonder how you feel about this after their new ep? I know you liked dice so i wanna hear you address this vid out of curiosity

Idk but honestly I can't (and never) be accept O.O original ver, it's an unacceptable mixx-pop song, why they could make decision that mix the two ABSOLUTELY different and NO RELATION genres - flow.. of two songs at all and bend it together like a trash and throw it to audience face like: Look, this is our mixx-pop song I think they (JYP producers) need to hold down and knowing which kind of genre-flow song COULD BE MIX, and in O.O original song I feel like the JYP producer is all the failure line-up, they don't know how to mix up and how to make a good mix-up, I mean that if they know at that time they can't have good mixx song, WHY DO THEY RELEASE THAT TRASH? It's all the JYP problem and if JYP don't get it soon, NMIXX flop is no doubt P/s: Look at how Jinni was left the group, maybe she felt that the mixx pop with current skill of JYP producers is all trash, so she decided to leave and now she come back with the genre song (title song, I haven't listen to other of her) I think it better than what JYP was introduced as mixx-pop song like O.O (DICE is somehow acceptable but for the fandom gain...)

I only want them to return to mixpop if the songs are good. The recent releases might be less unique, but ive honestly enjoyed the songs more.

JYPE does not know how to do mix pop so I think it would be better if they had two separate songs for their debut because O.O already feels like two different songs. Dice was fine to be honest, but their debut already overshadowed them and that's why they didn't had as much attention as the track actually deserved, they were already known for making trash music and people didn't give them a second chance and even now, they're struggling with it. But anyway, even if their concept(?) now is more generic, I can't complain because since Love me like this they have been more consistent and if I'm being honest that song is a whole bop. Even since then I think the concept show the members' individual skills way better: in their debut it kinda was like "Lily and her friends" but now they're NMIXX a group with completely capable dancers and amazing vocalists, so I hope they find their way and people give them n opportunity now 'cause they're actually doing great!

Yes they should! 😢

If they take the time ro correctly compose their "mixxpop" yes. If all they're gonna do is put 2 different songs in one audio file like they did with O.O then no. Also, doing what others are already doing and just slapping a name on it as if it was new, does not make it new or unique. Many other artists have mixed genres before, but they recognize that doing so does not create a new genre, specially in kpop because kpop is an industry, not a genre, kpop itself is already a mix of actual music genres. Poorly writing a song by not making transitions and forcing different parts that don't fit together is not creating a new genre, it's just making bad music.

IMHO Lia is holding Itzy back. She and Yeji are supposed to be the vocal powerhouse of the group but they both failed to deliver in their latest album. This is just my opinion, you can say otherwise.

Ι honestly don't care what if they return to mixxpop. I only listen to Tank.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. 😂

Weeekly got maasive hate for abandoning their debut concept with Ven Para, and yet NMIXX got a pass. Why is that? I am a big fan of MIXXPOP and I believe it is the thing that sets NMIXX apart from other 4th gen GGs. Let's face it, NMIXX isn't and probably will not ever get to New Jeans, IVE, and AESPA levels, so why even try? Let the group be unique and different since they will always be a more niche type of group.

I would love for NMIXX to go back to Mixxpop and I know many other people would; it was a very creative project but unfortunately due to the backlash they received and how it was handled, I think it would be wise to tone it down and continue without it. Even if most Kpop fans called them to bring their original sound back, we all know that some would be saying otherwise. I think one of the good things that came out of dropping mixxpop was that we finally get to hear more of their vocal talent, which was a wise move on JYP’s behalf.

I am one of those that was obsessed with Mixxpop since day 1. I wish they would do the MIXXPOP like O.O and Dice as their B-side or sth.

I will be at work when this goes live sooo… Yes. But only if their producers are competent. You can compose mix pop tracks without jarring transitions that leave the audience wondering if they just had a stroke. I could totally see NMIXX pulling off a song like Mamamoo’s “Decalcomanie” and it being amazing! Heck, be predictable and do something similar to “Next Level” (I don’t care at this point). But when you have a group so talented that’s able to pull off such a difficult genre, they deserve better than post-2014 Drake producers. “Funky Glitter Christmas” is actually my favorite track of theirs because it shows what they’re capable of. Their 2023 releases have been enjoyable but feel like they’re not tapping into the group’s full potential. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk! Lol And I don’t even need to watch the video to know that it’s amazing. So, good job, Robbie! Always look forwards to your content! (I promise I’ll watch it when I get home from work lol)

For the non NSWERs here they just performed two new songs at their first fan concert this weekend. Run for Roses and XOXO. AND there are two O.O new versions (Baila and Superhero) for the people who like the individual parts from the original :)))

People hate when they do Mixxpop but they hate when they’re not and call them “NewJeans rejects” like bffr ☠️

I think if they debut with TANK, it’s going to be a very good debut. Tank has unique choreos, catchy and showcase vocals. And O.O should be a Bside with other two versions of it so people can understand how their concept is. Tank fits the “Water” Image concept of them (idk how to explain but their visual image is water drop…). And they should continue their concepts, because I kinda enjoy it now, the more I listen to O.O, I’m fall in love with it. And these girls deserve better outfits (match their concept outfits), O.O’s outfits has to be the best style era. Love NMIXX❤.

I believe the problem with mixxpop stems a lot from the way they decided to present and phrase their concept (apart from JYPE claiming to have invented a new genre or a new concept kpop when it's not the case, not the first time they have done that) If your concept is basically a very strict formula (Part A + switch up to part B + come back to part A) it can easily make your songs just be copies to each other (we have a problem with the Teddy formula for a reason) I wish JYP said that they were an experimental group, It would allow them more room to be more flexible and creative. My ideal for Nmixx is for them to do the f(x)'s router of experimental songs that still showcases their insane vocals

In o.o they said it was a teaser. And in one of their new versions of o.o they ask “do you see it now”. So a delusional part of me thinks they may go back to mixx pop? or maybe they’re getting back at people who say o.o was bad by giving them the normally structured song they wanted?? No matter what happens I’ll be happy! I like how they’re trying out different genres atm. But I wish JYPE would figure their stuff out, for the sake of ALL of their groups.

hearing the two seperate versions of 'o.o' at their concert made me kinda sad, but excited. 'dice' is structured better, but i am curious if they’re gonna make separate versions for it.

NMIXX became my ult group because I love the mixxpop concept and even if I'm sad they abandoned it It was better for the group When NMIXX debuted in the mv for O.O you could see there was a donut shop yk 'Pick N Mixx' they were literally made to 'Pick N Mixx' their songs/concepts People also say NMIXX shouldnt have used mixxpop when they first debuted but later after a few tracks Yeah I feel like JYP tried that with Itzy songs like Cheshire sound more like mixxpop than NMIXX's most recent songs With talent but songs that arent loved by the public NMIXX are just Kep1er However I feel like if NMIXX debuted later Im talking like mid/late 5th gen or even 6th gen they wouldve been loved Because 5th gen is all about simplicity and using a concept similar to NewJeans' and after that what are fans gonna want songs that are upbeat and messy like Dice and O.O

IMO NMIXX is far from being a failed group. There are groups who hit it big later on, maybe that will be them, and even if they don’t, selling over a million copies first week 1 year into their career is anything but a flop. They could very well continue on the trajectory they are on now and be fine. I say the same thing with Itzy, too many people ask why they are still together but why wouldn’t they be when they also sell a lot and have decent sized tours? They still bring in a lot of money. Sometimes I do wonder if maybe JYP just doesn’t care this generation about having a top GG. Cause right now all of them, including Twice, are not really hitting the peaks other companies try to have their groups hit. Maybe they saw how competitive the industry is and decided to not even ‘try’ because they saw that their ggs still cash in a lot of money regardless. Idk, maybe that’s a bad take but I do wonder that. I also changed my mind a little on O.O, I still don’t like it but I kinda get what JYP was trying to do, which was make noise im the industry. I think they expected divisive opinions but unfotunarely got way more negative ones than positive. I personally wish NMIXX went back to mixpop because I felt like the idea was good even if the final products were not my favorite.

POP music in the first place is like a melting pot of every genre people knew. Genre influences and some hints of it can be heard in most of pop songs and kpop is one of those and usually done with smooth transitions. I would like to use as an example "BEcause", the most pop sounding DREAMCATCHER song so far having around more than 5 genres combined in one track. The goal for pop music is to combine influences and genres so well and not like forcing water being one with oil.

Short answer yes!! Why? Because without it, they are basically Kep1er. Having talented girls with amazing vocals and dancing who basically abandon their concept due to either the company or fans. And without mixxpop/mixxtopeia lore NMIXX name and brand just doesn't make any sense. They are to Pick 'N' Mix genres, production, songs together and see what happenes. Yes, it is quite experimental and can definitely go wrong, but at least people can identify them. If they were to get rid of their concept, they would need to pull a Dreamcatcher and completely rebrand themselves even their own name. Also, these talented girls deserve more than just generic pop/K-pop songs and familiar concept, that so many people say that they can hear any K-pop group singing (such as Password, Oh My Gosh, and Home).

I would personally LOVE to see MIXXPOP comeback, but I want it to be unexpected genres. I want to see them try their hand at using traditional Korean genres in a MIXXPOP song. (Side note: I think Haewon would eat that up personally) I just want to see MIXXPOP truly come back, it’s what I loved NMIXX for in the beginning, even if I adore their latest comebacks too.

Please. I absolutely love dice and o.o. Their other songs are good, but those 2 just hit different. I would give anything to have more music like that

I think JYPE's problem is they don't know how mixpop is supposed to be handled, which I'll discuss. Some songs that did mixpop well include: - House Party SUPER JUNIOR (this is the best example imo) - Bang Bang Bang BIG BANG - Hate 4Minute - I will show you Ailee - Eternally TXT And while some of these aren't quite mixpop, they use beat changes, key changes or hook changes to change the tone of the song. A great example in many songs is the bridge- the bridge often changes tone. And there are three purposes of using mixpop or tonal changes: 1. Building hype and tension. When you hear the song change in Bang Bang Bang, you feel like jumping up and down or just having an absolute blast. When you hear the song go back to the main tune in House Party, you start having fun like you're at a real house party. 2. To subvert the audience's expectations. I will show you by Ailee is a great example. The song starts off as a slow ballard and then suddenly bounces into life. When you listen to it for the first time, you are surprised but the song has now captured your attention. And when you listen to it, you wait apprehensively for the change and jump into motion as soon as you hear it. 3. To tell a story, usually the heroe's journey in some capacity. Eternally by TXT is a good example. The two parts are so jarringly different from eachother, they invoke a sense of dream and nightmares, or dreams and reality. The album itself tells a story, and the music video for eternally is 19 minutes long. On top of that, there is a webtoon that includes many of the things that appear in that music video. When fans first heard eternally they were jarred but they understood it was a narrative piece in something much bigger than itself, as part of enhancing the album and the story of the album. Same with Hate by 4Minute: It tells a stroy of being sad and greving the end of a relationship before turning into bright anger and hate towards that person, and then settling into disgust. And those emotions are carried in the dychotomy of the mellow ballard turning into raging pop and rap. NMIXX DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH THESE OBJECTIVES IN THE SAME CAPACITY THEY SHOULD. - hype: In O.O, the idea is that hype will be built up when the song returns to its original theme after 'and finally, we'll win!' But the audience is so JARRED by the tone change, since it wasn't done smoothly, that they've only just gotten used to the new tune before being thrust back into the first one. So instead of being like YOOOOO!!!! They're like ??? :/. The stillness between the tone changes instead of a smooth transition makes it feel like two songs spliced together instead, so neither part enhances the other and makes a sense of tension. - Subverting expectations: People were just left confused and uncomfortable instead of blown away. - Telling a story: NMIXX wasn't made with narrative purposes in mind and neither were their songs. When you listen to their mixpop songs, the sense you get is there's too many things going on and that the tone changes are used moreso to show the capabilities of the groups rapping and singing capabilities without compromising one or the other. There isn't a narrative these songs supoort at all, from a musical sense or from NMIXX trying to tell a story in their concept in the first place. IF JYPE LEARNS HOW TO USE MIXPOP AND LEARN FROM OTHER GROUPS, then they should give mixpop another try. But as it currently stands, I think not.

I firmly feel that they ought to return to it. That's what made me fall in love with them right away. was the fact that it felt just how K-pop should. I had a sensation of nostalgia. It did, however, liven things up. At least for me, it gave the K-pop scene new life. basically stoked my fire. I'm quite content despite the scorching sensation. I'm aware that many people did not enjoy their debut or their initial comeback, but for me, that was the end of it. I was smitten by their debut. With their initial comeback, I was smitten. I consistently listen to their music more than anything else. More often than anything else that comes to mind, I always seem to play their music. That's who I turn to when I need anything to cheer me up. That's where I go when I need something to get me going. Of course, their most recent comebacks are still fantastic and outstanding. I still have a feeling that this is who they are. They can use it. Although it works for them, the focus of the group is mix pop. And I believe that is what most distinguishes them from others. You must at least acknowledge that they are a group whether you love them or loathe them, or whether you like or dislike their discography thus far you have to at least recognize that they are a group that gets a lot of individuals talking about them. They have my full attention. ❤ NMIXX FIGHTING

I love how NMIXX is getting known for its live singing in practice choreography videos. It's a seemingly small thing, but I think kpop fans appreciate the refreshing authenticity of it.

I hope for a new video from you about Nmixx improved mixpop 😊 Dash was a great song🎉

I also think their way of still being in line with their name "NMIXX" is to mix up concepts every album/release. If you look at their discography, each release is greatly different from the other, so in a sense, they are "mixing it up"

idk if you listen to her, but the artist charli xcx said the concept for album 'crash' was a satirical take on an artist selling her soul to make mega-hits for her record label & i so totally want nmixx to do a concept like this as a big "fuck you" to kpop stans who want them to change. maybe as their first full album? jyp if you're reading this, i am available to contact.

at their recent concert "mixx university" they actually separated the genres in O.O and performed two different tracks so i don't think theyve fully abandoned mixxpop, but instead building onto it and creating narrative around it as we all know, nmixx have LORE (lore that i cant explain bc its very complicated and abstract lol) but mixxpop plays a huge part in it, so im just trusting the process tbh none of this matters to me bc the members are talented and the music is enjoyable

I personally loved o.o especially the part with the flowers where they sing « I can be your super hero ! Zip zap come on come on »

Let’s be fr o.o is pretty bad for international listeners or unless you get used to it and it definitely had a big shock value with the dance break and so did tank but if they need popularity like Lesserafim newjeans I’ve Aespa itzy etc They need hit songs that blow up on TikTok or RU-vid for example Omg/Next level/Antifragile/LoveDive Nmixx had there big song with Dice, wich I say is there best song due to the big wave blowing up and there dance and there music video and there editing and promotions were all perfect it was there best album that’s realsed in my opinion now I feel like lmlt and party O Clock are very good songs but for some reason I see those songs as b side songs but like in order for there to be a hit or smash, that’s what Nmixx needs to be considered on the league and get more and more album sales and popularity and brand promotion to be recognized they can do that with or withought the mix pop it’s all up to jyp ,dice is a very good example I just wish they kept the Nmixx pop for a little longer after dice because it felt like a story but after the big blow out with jinni I thought they would have kept the mix pop but I felt like that took the turn for the worse and got less attention wich I found weird that there sales went up by a million which is great for jyp but it won’t always be that way if they don’t have a strong fan base and a consistent sound , considering they debuted a year ago

I'm a new fan and was looking for a new group after izone disbanded. i was really into their style like it's new to me. still looking forward for another nmixx change up thingy cause that really hooked me when i was recovering from iz

Yes cuz if they don’t do mixxpop they would just be called N

Making good music is more important than sticking to a concept, period. If JYP can't do mixpop well (and all signs point to that) then it's better for the company _and the girls_ to continue with the wildly catchy, more mainstream pop of their last few comebacks.

I feel like they could return to it with the right producers I think they could blend coinciding genres instead of completely jarring switches. I also think they should release the two separate songs along with the mixed versions

If you ARE saying that. Then that means you don't really listen to Nmixx because they are still doing mixxpop. Also doing it or not is their choice. They can't just do it in every single song. That's just not feasible. The MIXX UP songs are MUCH MUCH harder to create than normal songs. Plus normal songs have more market acceptability, so they are also just as important to do.

I personally want them to go back to Mixxpop, but I also know it's like double-edged sword. Sure, us fans will accept it because we know that's their core, their identity. They can have different genres every comeback but Mixxpop is their signature. But then again we also can't change the fact that in the end of the day, K-Pop is business, they need to sell well, charted well, and the fact is they get more popular with their traditional pop release like LMLT, surely from JYPE perspective, staying away from Mixxpop now is a good move and i can appreciate that.

I almost feel like if NMIXX had continued in the direction of Dice, they could have done better. But éxpergio was so much fun, i wasnt even mad about the lack of mixpop. I think I'm more frustrated because Party O'clock and Rollercoaster don't quite feel like NMIXX songs. The songs are good, but it feels like a different color from everything else, including the songs that weren't so mixxy. Éxpergio felt like NMIXX. It was straight up pop, but it felt like it belonged to that group. I don’t geel the same way about their most recent single album, but I'm okay with that. NMIXX was never my favorite, and every group will release music I'm not fond of. I might like Rollercoaster next year sometime when i hear it in the right mood.

Their mixxpop should've been arranged with much more cohesive transition, balanced layering of vocals (adlibs, riffs & runs) no unessecary highnotes & adlibs especially NO dance break

I don't think the concept of Mixxpop would have been sustainable long term. Two comebacks with a mix up? Fine. But anymore than that and it's just a gimmick. It would stunt any growth for them as a group; if people have already decided they didn't like the Mixxpop concept, they'd have no reason to tune into a new Nmixx song that would be guaranteed to have the exact concept they dislike. If they're going to stray away from Mixxpop, I think they could stick to edgier, more out-there songs like Tank instead of defaulting to cutesy pop songs. Tank showed that it's possible to have a chaotic, unique, and experimental song without resorting to throwing in a melody from a completely unrelated genre into the middle of a song. Alternatively, songs like Change Pt. 2 by RM or Eternally by TXT manage to incorporate drastically different music styles into one song without being jarring or off-putting to a casual listener. If JYPE would give Nmixx better producers who could pull off the Mixxpop concept in a similar way to the songs I just mentioned, I don't see any reason why they couldn't revisit it every once in a while.

I dont think that you can base a successful group on mix pop alone its usually always people most unliked comeback even if it sells well like SCLASS or I got a boy i remember people didnt like they song that much when it came out. I think its silly to completely abandon the concepts when the group is called NMIXX. I feel like SM has some of the more successful mixpop songs. I've seen some people suggest having two version of the songs (like they showcased recently ) and then have them combined for the title track

Thank you for telling things how they are. NMIXX is not flopping. They're selling good and a lot of people actually PREFER the new style as it's more digestible. There's still more daring music from there, just something we can finally enjoy. And guess what? I loved the newjeans-esque music style from them! Rollercoaster era was the best!

I feel like I always see people say they miss mixxpop but wheres that support and love when they did mixxpop? I loved dice and liked O.O but I think they should stick to traditional pop and slowly transition to mixxpop, or have bside mixxpop

11:50 as a Belllie've I'm fine with them making more Billlie-coded (or should I say, GWSN-coded) song (such as Rollercoaster and Paxxword), because we can never have enough of those!

1:10 I think it's still fine to name it as mixxpop since they're the one who bothered naming it

the first listen of O.O felt like hell i hated so much but once i got it i still sing it and listen to it to this day but cant say the same for party o'clock/roller coaster i liked them since first listen but i moved on from them real quick .. dice was perfect balance. my point is they r losing their longevity following trends BRING MIXPOP BACKKK

I think giving up the concept of ur group is necessary as u grow as an artist and really want to have relevancy for a long time especially in mass produced music industry like kpop, there is always going to be someone who is going to better than u coming up next year, so keeping up relevancy is really important and with a concept which is so narrow (the problem with kpop) u can only explore so much, i really like conceptual groups I mean most of us are into kpop bc of their concept, we are not only here for the music but her the specific aesthetic, the outfits, the styling in general as well if we wanted a vague styling, but good music artist we would have just listened to normal American pop music but the world building and visuals in kpop attracts us to it so I get why concepts are very important for some kpop fans but let's be honest any group who has maintained relevancy as a older gen group have given up their concept (eg BTS twice) bc concept only last like 2 or 3 yrs so, I don't think people would have problem with them giving up their concept, the thing is that how fast they gave up the concept after 2 comebacks the whole concept was abandoned, and the shock plays into the whole hatred towards them abandoning their concept if they had done it 3 or 4 yrs down the line PPL would have not even a give a fuck but the problem is their concept was not just a good concept, that they could have kept up with 3 yrs I think PPL will stop caring about this few months bc once u start churning out good music the past rarely matters. I think kpop companies should learn from this case of nmixx and choose a concept carefully, a kpop group concept should not be narrow and should def not play with one specific genre, but also should have a special quality of their own, I think a good example of this is new jeans, they literally started the y2k trend and actually did it so good that everyone who tried to get on the board couldn't even compare, I think yes definitely the music plays def a big part in this but broadness of y2k concept really helped the group achieve great success but they tried so many genres in their last few comebacks also a good and unique styling really helps, I feel like lot of kpop groups are churning out same type of outfits, styling and makeup look these days that they don't have that individual characteristics that new jeans had when they debuted, all they want to do is hop on the trend, a concept is not necessary if u can Excel in these 3 basic thing ( music, styling, marketableness) and having a narrow concept really effect all these things.

😮‍💨 sigh... I am really tired of having to explain this over and over again. What do you mean return to MIXXPOP? They never even departed from it in the first place. They just made it more "new listener friendly". Their earlier MIXXPOPS were more of mashups and medley style. Pretty much COMBINING DIFFERENT SONGS FROM DIFFERENT GENRES, which made the MIXXPOP aspect more obvious to the casual listeners. However, in comes EXPERGO! They changed up their style a bit since EXPERGO. Now, THEY COMBINE OR MIXX MUSIC STYLES FROM DIFFERENT GENRES. By doing so, this made the MIXXPOP aspect a little less obvious, or less pronounced to the untrained ears. Unless you listen to a wide variety of genres, or work with music, it's pretty hard to tell that it's still mixxpop. Nonetheless, IT IS STILL VERY MUCH MIXXPOP!!! NMIXX lore plays a very big part in this. MIXXTOPIA is whole world by itself, from the word UTOPIA. Meaning NMIXX is able to explore every corner of the world of music to find the perfection that is MIXXTOPIA. IN CONCLUSION, MIXXPOP IS NOT ONLY A MIX OF DIFFERENT SONGS FROM DIFFERENT GENRES, BUT RATHER A MIX OF DIFFERENT MUSIC STYLES FROM DIFFERENT GENRES. SO YES!!!!! NMIXX IS STILL MIXXIN AND STILL POPPIN!!!!

omggg mixpop so hard bro just look at what travis scott does and copy like every other song has a beat switch.,,,

JYPE. Why would people always forget E? JYP himself is not too hands-on on the artists of the company.

Honestly, I don't know Run for Roses (which they performed in mixx university) can be considered as mixxpop but I think it would be great if jype releases it within this year because I do think it is the song which suits to them. Also, i wouldn't mind if they release it along with new O.O versions as a repackage album because these new versions sounds good too!

Mixxpop did never work for me and I only started to listen to NMIXX from expérgo onward. That mini album is great! I hope they do not return to Mixxpop.

I think it would be good only if the producers do the transitions right. The members are talented enough to pull it off.

I’m in the minority that believes mixxpop wasn’t their problem in the first place. As a passionate I Got A Boy enjoyer I know it can work. And a year prior Next Level went viral which had a switchup as well. Mashing up sounds can work, but only if both sounds are enjoyable in their own right. This is Nmixx’s problem. When O.O came out a lot of people were saying they loved the middle pop rock section but hated everything else, and I count myself in the same boat. It was too shouty and abrasive, and the melodies weren’t catchy. At least not in a good way. DICE has the same problem, even though the change-up concept works better here because it’s less dramatic. Shouty and lacking really appealing melodies. When JYPE dropped the mixxpop concept they also simultaneously decided to make their music more melodic and let their vocals really shine. And the result are tracks that are overall much more pleasant to listen to and stronger overall, but less exciting than the mixxpop tracks. I think NMIXX in an ideal world should return to mixxpop, but with more effort placed into crafting good quality melodies and swearing off on chanty, shouty vocal delivery - they’re way too good at singing for that.

I’m curious how their sales will be with their next album since on Spotify the streaming numbers for Roller & Party are doing very ok. And neither charted all that well in Korea. LMLT comes off as a one hit wonder/outlier. Dice & O.O performed on streaming on spotify much better. So they’re selling really well but the digital support at least globally took a hit

Jyp is a weird case cus jyp makes amazing songs but they have eras of just being lazy. This is happening again cus I feel like jyp is putting all of their money into A2K which isn’t it cus they are choosing a major risk while also missing out on their top groups. Ofc their man groups are still doing well but the effort isnt there. Itzy is talked about right now cus people sees how much effort was put into dingo, their Japanese track but the effort lacked in cake. Alot of top 3 is taking the western route. I know it’s cringe when people say kpop it’s getting western which I don’t agree but we not gonna get into it but everyone knows how pop have a lot of cash grabs and top 3 groups have this issue

i love all songs they’ve released. my favorites are young dumb stupid, o.o, roller coaster, home, tank, dice, cool (your rainbow), and love me like this. they have a really great discography

Wdym by itzy debuted with no competition?? they literally debut when blackpink, bts, red velvet and twice was ON THE TOP. you're so weird
