Now, this would have been fine if they improved. Talents rarely stay the exact same as they were in their debut. But rather than improving the opposite happened, with most of Ethyria seeming to care less, and put in less effort as time went on. Surprisingly Nina, the antichrist of the group in many fans eyes, was the one to improve the most over time, and actually turn out pretty well. Probably due in part to the other members of Ethyria actively shunning her, so she decided to do her own thing.
Ethyria was absolutely the start of the decline. Luxiem is just when the most drastic change in the fanbase happened, and the exodus of the older fans started, and made way for the cancer in the fanbase that we have now.
