Golden 20 is called "Season 1" because the group kept evolving and showcasing bigger, newer things.
Good collabs like Meltdown; then various new stream types started developing like Petra's piano streams, Pomu's creative streams, Selen's Apex collabs, Elira's endurance streams; then they started reaching out to the JP branch; then more EN waves allowed for bigger collabs while maintaining a great chemistry, then projects like the VR Chat saga, Luxiem boom, EN Minecraft finally opening, Unarchive English karaokes, Lazulight 3D, etc.
Shit kept growing and getting bigger and better. The fuck has the latter waves done? They don't have that progression.
Just look at Scarle. Her identity is around handcams, something that Enna had already made her thing and Pomu had fought management to be able to do.
Kyo and Maria getting VR Chibis? Thank Selen, Rosemi, and Pomu for that.
Kotoka and Meloco's JP stuff? Not even Petra or Shu were this JP dependent.
Hex is literally a retread of Vox. D&D? Multiple Reza collabs and Petra's collabed with Dizm multiple times.
Season 1 built everything. The later waves are just retreading everything they've built.
