Hello everyone! We are excited to take another trip back in time to revisit some K-Pop classics once again, continuing with this rate, the "Early Gen 3" Boy Groups Rate! (If you haven't already, make sure to join r/kpoprates to ensure that you stay updated on future rate-related posts!)

Deadline: August 25 (Monday), 11:59 PM Pacific (Link to a timezone converter)
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 54 songs (& 6 bonus songs) that were selected for this rate, ordered chronologically for each artist (artists were also ordered by debut date):
.
VIXX:
GOT7:
Winner:
UNIQ:
N.Flying:
Monsta X:
DAY6:
UP10TION:
iKON:
.
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 survey 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.
.
.
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:
Dumb & Dumber: 9.8 finally, someone wrote a song about me and my best friend
-
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:
GOT7: Finally a group with a number in the name that hasn't actually lost a single member
- 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 Reddit Chat to message a ballot
As Reddit is (unfortunately) moving away from the private messaging system in favor of utilizing the Reddit chat system, we are forced to also adopt the Reddit chat system for messaging. You can make a copy of either the Google Docs or Pastebin ballot templates below, add your scores on your local copy/file, and send the link to your local copy/file in your Reddit Chat message to u/kpoprates.
* Google Docs ballot template
* Pastebin ballot template
Alternatively, if you have Discord, you can message the link to your ballot to both the rate hosts, @Zypker124 and @kawaii_mokona and @pollutedrain.
You can also submit the top/bottom 5 prediction form at any time.
