A K-Pop column by the name of 'Idology' recently published a full timeline of K-Pop's generations, starting with the founder of the 1st-generation H.O.T all the way through the new wave of 4th generation idols. 

In this timeline, 'Idology' categorizes the generations of K-Pop by creating sub-generations - the 1.5 generation, the 2.5 generation, and the 3.5 generation.

pretty good divide, although some choices are weird. why are EXO and BAP in 3rd gen yet EXID and AOA in 2.5 (these two debuted later than EXO/BAP)

Also, personally I feel like 4th gen just started - like in 2019 or 2020 even. Groups like Loona, TXT, Gidle are all very late 3rd gen groups
