EVERYONE copied NewJeans

Like… it’s literally right in front of everyone, but every single time this topic comes up people suddenly switch to defending the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY or saying “we’re tired of this conversation.” Tired of what exactly? Tired of people pointing out something that’s this obvious? Because the similarities are not some tiny detail that people are exaggerating. They’re very noticeable, and acting like you can’t see it is just weird.

And the annoying part is how people keep trying to reduce everything to “it’s just a style.” Like no, we’re not talking about a simple concept or a similar outfit here. NewJeans are the most innovative group ever, so I am not surprised the entire entertainment industry copied from them. Everything NewJeans does is viral and trending because they are the best and first.

So many examples of NewJeans being copied.

Here's the evidence:

  • Some wack cartoon show called "Powerpuff Girls" copied the girl's alter egos/avatars. Even the color scheme was the same!
  • They debuted with five members. They put together the 5 most perfect people to create great synergy. You have these copycat groups like LE SSERAFIM who had SIX members, then dropped one to copy NewJeans. Someone do the math for me, how many members do they have now? I'll wait. It's like they arent even hiding it.
  • White outfits? School Uniforms? Revolutionary when NewJeans did it. Now I even see kids wearing uniforms to school!
  • Their name is NewJeans. They got so popular, Katseye decided to copy and be ambassadors with Levi's JEANS
  • They danced in synchronization better than anyone else. Now all of a sudden, idol groups are doing "choreography" or whatever the fuck that is..
  • They used camcorders and wore baggy clothes. The audacity of people to time travel to the year 2000 and start doing the same.
  • They have songs that are between 1 minute and 5 minutes. Now everyone has a song between that length.
  • NewJeans wore sneakers. Then ITZY copied them and made a whole ass song.
  • Even Tae from BTS said there are similarities between them too and he is the absolute end all authority.

Now let's talk about the REAL evidence.

Exhibit A: NewJeans' ETA and Samir's Theme by DJ Debonair Samir

Clearly the DJ loved ETA and then invented a time machine to make their song in 2005.

Exhibit B: NewJeans' How Sweet and the One Of A Kind demo submitted to ADOR

The creators of One of a Kind copied How Sweet then named the song like that to make fun of NewJeans.

Need I continue?

Stop treating us as if NewJeans aren't the role models for the entire generation. Everyone is clearly jealous of them. Just because you want to use facts and evidence, doesnt make you right.

Wand/WeMod has a 2hr time limit for non-pro users. Patch your Wand with Wand-Enhancer by k1tbyte

Disclaimer: This is not an official thread. I am just a regular person who had issues and wanted to write up a guide for others who may had the same issues I did and spread this awesome patch. Credit all goes to k1tbyte for this awesome patch.

What is Wand-Enhancer: It is a patch for Wand/WeMod to give you pro-features and bypass the time limit. There are also features such as remote access via phone or preloading your own scripts. Those features will not be touched upon in this basic guide.

For those worried about legitimacy, look wand-enhancer up on Google and Reddit. Do your own research and make your own conclusion.

IMPORTANT: IF YOU DOWNLOADED AN EXE ANYWHERE OTHER THAN YOUR OWN GIT-HUB SUCH AS YOUTUBE, ANOTHER PERSON"S GIT-HUB, FROM A COMMENT, IT IS NOT OFFICIAL NOR RECOMMENDED.

The creator(s) have removed all exes. You will create your own exe from your own git-hub.

What is this post about: It will be a quick guide on Wand-Enhancer basics and how to patch your Wand/WeMod. It takes about 5 minutes total.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions

Downloading the patch.

  1. I will not post links. Google k1tbyte wand-enhancer. You want to go to their git-hub page.
  2. This step is a copy and paste from the git-hub directly.

This repository does not publish official compiled binaries. Build your own executable from your own fork using GitHub Actions.

  1. Sign in to GitHub and fork this repository.
  2. Use Sync fork before each build so your fork contains the latest fixes.
  3. Open your fork, go to the Actions tab, and enable workflows if GitHub asks you to.
  4. Select the Build executable workflow.
  5. Click Run workflow, keep the default branch, and start the run.
  6. Wait for the workflow to finish, open the completed run, and download the artifact.
  7. Extract the artifact zip and run WandEnhancer.exe to apply local client modifications.

Notes: When you download the artifiact zip file, if it has ANYTHING other than ONLY the wand-enhancer exe, you downloaded the wrong part, like I did. If it has folders and directories, that is the wrong zip. It should ONLY contain the exe file. Also, the file will be named whatever you named it. If you are an idiot like moi, you will be search for artifact.zip and not finding it.

Once you have the wand-enhancer.exe, move to the next phase.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Patching Wand/WeMod

1.Once you have the exe file, run it as admin. It should automatically find the correct directory and be ready for you to patch. If it does not, you can click on the folder path at the top of the wand enhancer to choose the directory.

The directory should be as below. The last folder would depend on your version of Wand/WeMod. The patcher choose the newest version automatically so if you have to manually point it, I'd start with the newest.

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\WeMod\app-12.41.1

  1. Just run the patch. You can choose any of the options. It will go through the motions. DO NOT CLICK RESTORE UNLESS YOU WANT TO RESTORE YOUR WAND/WEMOD BACK TO THE ORIGINAL STATE. I thought clicking Restore was part of the process and was wondering why it was not working.

  2. It will tell you if it was patched successfully. Launch Wand/WeMod and enjoy!

That's it! I just wanted to spend this morning writing this quick post to spread this patch for those not in the know. Thank you!

Bujairami Too Damn Good review from a non reviewer. Is this a skin scent?

I do not know much about notes and reviews but I'll try my best..

I own Tigris, Alcantara Supreme, Hectic, No Limit, and now Too Damn Good. Those are full bottles and I have hundreds of decants of other scents.

Before I start, I want to clarify, I never smelled the OG, which is Byredo Bal D'Afrique Absolu, nor any Byredo except for decants of the Montagne versions.

I had a decant of Montagne Another 14 and that was my first experience with the "your skin but better" and magazine smelling scents. First couple of sprays, I got that vibe here. It's like, muted almost. It's not citrus like No Limit/Pacific Chill is citrus. It is not strong like Tigris or Alcantara Supreme.

It's as if a floral scent was "muted" or had a fog of musk over top of it, pushing it down. I can't smell anything distinct other than the floral and musk? I think that would show that it was blended well. I do not smell the praline, but maybe I don't know what it is supposed to smell like.

As this is a Bujairami, I am sure I need to let it sit for a bit. I sprayed it on my wrist but 10 minutes later, can't smell it about 1 foot away.

The interesting thing is, I gotten compliments already from 2 strangers. The way this was hyped, I thought I'd be wowed like I was by Tygar/Tigris or even Alcantara Supreme.

I really hope I am nose blind, though I can smell Tigris and Alcantara Supreme just fine. Hopefully it'll get better as it sits, might trade the backup bottle.

I like Stray Kids a lot. But Run It feels so soulless.

Is it just me? I love them, especially their beat selection. Their high tempo songs always get me hype.

Hard hitting 808s, check.
Fast punchy rapping, check.
smooth melodic section, check.

Run It has the elements I like in a stray kid's song but I dont know why but this song flipped a switch in me. It just seems so... derivative. Is it just me?

Rosin King of New Jersey Live Rosin Carts: Not the same as before?

I buy live rosin carts and Rosin King was a brand that I buy from often. But my last 3 purchases from them, have been lackluster. I dont know if it was always that way or if it just happened recently. I got Fluff Cake, Papaya Crush and Slurricane.

What are your recent experiences with Rosin King?

Need to purchase a aerator for the bathroom faucet. Can you help me figure out what I need?

At a rental. One of the bathroom faucets has no aerator. These pictures are taken from the working bathroom faucet. I only have the metal piece on the broken faucet. Can you guys identified what I need to get this fixed/replaced?

The engraving on the side says

A112 18.1 1.2 gpm

I *believe* I need to get a female standard aerator in thumb tom size? I already bought the wrong ones so i want to confirm before I purchase. Thank you!

I’ve been into K-pop and K-hiphop for over 10 years, but as a casual international fan, not deep into fandom culture. Like, I never bought merch, I am not in any fandom nor do I know any korean. I have been a fan of kpop since Big Bang's still alive days. Actually saw them during a hurricane in New York.

anyway, I was listening to redred by cortis, and a line about covering your pants made me think about sagging. i liked it, it was catchy. one of the lyrics goes "covering your butt (thats red red)". I THINK it means, NOT sagging your pants, is not cool but either way, it was the reason I thought of this.

in the US, pants sagging is not a wholly hiphop thing. it's seen as a cultural thing with social context. It’s been stereotyped, criticized, even legislated against. It carries baggage beyond just fashion and music. Even Obama has spoken on it. But my point is, no one here says "you are sagging your pants, you must be hiphop."

But in kpop/khiphop, it often gets reduced to a symbol of being “hip-hop” or “rebellious.” That’s what feels off. This happens with a lot of things: fashion, slang, gestures. Pieces of marginalized cultures, especially Black culture, get turned into aesthetics without the history behind them.

When I watch variety shows on youtube, or catch lyrics about pants sagging, its so cringe. i hear things, "yeah, pants sagging is hiphop." or using sagging pants as a anti authority thing. im starting to see when they say "this is hiphop", they mean "this is anti authority/against the norm." Where in the US, that means oppression, in Korea, this means rebellion.

It's like they see what goes against the norm, where marginalized groups like african american culture sit, due to the power dynamic and take it to the extreme. This is "anti authority" so they use it as an aesthetic, as a lyric, as a symbol that they are "hiphop."

With that said, it's just one of many things that kpop/khiphop take without context, and make such like a concentrated version that is very good, technically, but without the soul, the history.

And to be fair, Kpop does this incredibly well on a technical level. The choreography, styling, and production are top tier. But sometimes it feels like everything is optimized to look right rather than come from a deeper understanding, like studying to ace a test instead of actually learning the material.

Things like... dancing/choreography, fashion, slang, etc. You seen k-rappers throw up their jujutsu hand signs, yelling gang gang. You seen dances become viral challenges.

With all that in mind, I personally don't care that they do it. They look lame, it is what it is.

I also think fan reactions can go too far in the other direction. I am not one of those that get triggered by braids. I don't cry about Jay Park. Fans will project their own morality and want to destroy people and careers over these things. I laughed at the craziness of a comment that said "anyone that supports gdragon is racist." i got called racist.

What sucks is, we will see the loud people. And when they grow up, mature, or lose interest, and move on, we wont notice because there will always being a visible party yelling "TSUZU IS RACIST" or "THEY ARE ACTUAL NAZIS!"

At the end of the day, it’s just something I’ve noticed: how certain cultural elements can be misunderstood, repackaged, and amplified and how the conversation around it can get just as extreme as the issue itself.
