#1 TOP DEFINITION
κΌ°λ β a preachy, rigid older person who constantly references 'the old ways' and lectures younger people. In K-pop commentary, kkondae describes industry veterans or senior idols who dismiss younger groups for 'not having real talent' or gatekeep what counts as legitimate K-pop. The term has become a broader Gen Z criticism of any boomer-style moralizing.
Example
βThat retired producer's interview calling 4th gen 'too idol-ized and not musical enough' was pure κΌ°λ energy β every generation's elders say the same thing.β
