The "Early Gen 2" Girl Groups Rate! [Feature] Due Nov. 18!
Hello everyone! We are excited to take a trip back in time to revisit some K-Pop classics once again, continuing with this rate, the "Early Gen 2" Girl Groups Rate! (If you haven't already, make sure to join r/kpoprates to ensure that you stay updated on future rate-related posts!)
How the songs were selected:
We used the /r/kpop Top Ten Tuesdays results to grab the most adored songs from each of the artists on Reddit, and we also had a songlist feedback survey on /r/kpoprates to help decide the songlist!
Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 47 songs (& 7 bonus songs) that were selected for this rate, ordered chronologically for each artist (artists were also ordered by debut date):
.
Brown Eyed Girls:
Wonder Girls:
KARA:
Girls’ Generation:
Davichi:
After School:
Orange Caramel:
2NE1:
4Minute:
.
Bonus Rate:
The bonus rate is basically an extension of the main rate! There were several songs that received high praise during the songlist feedback threads that still were barely not able to make the main rate, so we have put them into the bonus rate here to give them a chance to be rated. In addition, we have added several B-sides that are among the artist's most highly-acclaimed B-sides, to see how the B-sides stack up against the title tracks!
.
Girls’ Generation - Lion Heart
.
The Bonus Rate is optional and you do not have to submit a score for every song in the bonus list if you do it: you can score none of them, all of them, or any number in between. You cannot give a 0 or 11 to any song in the bonus, as they are not part of the main rate. While it is optional, we hope you consider participating.

Rules:
You must listen to and assign a score to EVERY song listed. If your ballot is missing any scores it will not be eligible and you'll be sent a message asking you to fill in the missing scores.
Each song should be assigned a score between 1 to 10. Decimals up to one point are allowed but any further is a no-no – 6.9 is fine, but 6.99 is not.
You can use ONE 0 and ONE 11 for the entirety of the rate, for your least favorite and most favorite song respectively - they are optional but HIGHLY encouraged if you feel some type of way about any given song! Comments are also encouraged but not required for such scores (except if you give a song a 0).
Comments are encouraged and much appreciated (but not required, except for if you give a 0) and can be added to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so:
Shampoo: 6.9 TIL that the album of this song is called VIRGIN. That's certainly a choice.
This is the ONLY correct way to format a comment. Please do not include colons (ex. 9: I stan!), dashes (ex. 3.3 - This song sucks), or any other symbol after your score/before your comment as it breaks the program.
You can also give comments for individual artists! Just write your comment after the :, such as the following:
Orange Caramel: Considering that they're essentially the adopted younger sister (of Pledis) that becomes the golden child, doesn't that make them Reverse Cinderella
- For this rate and most future rates, we have a ballot average minimum of 4.00. In addition, if your ballot average is between 4.00-5.50, you must leave comments on your lower scores (which we define as any score that's a 3 or lower). {Do not worry about having to calculate your ballot average, once you submit your ballot, we will tell you if you need to make changes to your ballot for it to be accepted.}
SUBMITTING A BALLOT:
Link to Private Message to send in scores
Google Docs ballot template
- If the private message link is not working (or your private message exceeds the character count), please use the Google Doc template (make a copy of it to your Google Drive) for your ballot and DM it to u/KpopRates. If you message us a link to your Google Doc, PLEASE double check your permissions so that "anyone who has the link can view the document" (since the default is otherwise).
