wasn’t pristin 4th gen tho?
nope. generation is determined by debut date. pristin debuted in 2017, and the earliest 4th gen groups started debuting in 2018 (or 2019 depending on who you ask, apparently some ppl see 2018 as a transition year which like, eh). so they were a late 3rd gen group, but a third gen group nonetheless. (other 2017 iirc debuts include weki meki, kard, the rose, wanna one, dreamcatcher, golden child for context. all considered 3rd gen groups. the only 2017 debut i can think of that's considered 4th gen is the boyz, but they debuted right at the end of the year, and i feel like they're the group I've seen the most debate about what gen they're in since they're kind of on the cusp anyway so)
