I've always felt this was the case but became convinced after seeing NCT's track video. NCT's neo vibes in '16, 17, 18 was seriously perfect and showed off the unique feel of the group. But it has all gone downhill since then. The overall quality of songs is f*cking shitty too...

There are people that are convinced SM's color made a comeback with aespa's successful debut but honestly, when I listen to SM songs nowadays, I don't get the original SM vibe at all...it's a pity. 

Is there really no way of going back?

1. [+390, -4] You must've not listened to NCT back then. Every time NCT came out with a new song, everyone from fans to muggles cursed SM so much saying their unique color is gone...
2. [+248, -3] I wish Yoo Young-jin ba$tard would cut down on singing method he's teaching NCT? Why force the members to sing in a different style instead of the one that they're comfortable in? He seriously doesn't match with NCT at all.
3. [+200, -5] It seems like all the staff that were good at planning left SM. Only the f***ing oldies are left now. 
4. [+118, -2] What was there to like about neo vibes? Back then, Neo were nugus who got called "fail dols" all the time. What's with all this praise now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.
5. [+114, -30] All of Kenzie's recent songs are seriously trash 
6. [+109, -2] Personally, I think they missed their timing with picking 'Sticker' as their title song. They had such a huge influx of new fans at the time so they should've kept up the momentum with a public friendly song but instead they went with 'sticker.' It's a pity.
7. [+74, -7] SHINee and f(x) are representative groups of SM's color 
8. [+69, -3] Eh, aren't people like this only because of NCT? There's no mention of aespa this time? SHINee comebacks and all the solo debuts were all great and fun to watch? SM artists as a whole did a great job with their comeback activities this time its just NCT that's noticeably bad? Makes you wonder who's in charge at SM..
9. [+16, -0] Ah, the old SM days were f***ing legendary ㅋㅋㅋ... TVXQ, Girls' Generation, SHINee, f(x), EXO...
10. [+15, -0] To be precise, it's the overall quality of their title songs that has seriously gone downhill.
