I always forget that most people are not completely saturated in kpop music. I’m at the point where there is literally no song, genre, generation, or group I don’t like (with a few exceptions). I no longer have distinguishing ears, it’s all good to me.
I vaguely remember thinking that most girl groups sang at too high a pitch and sounded like cats. I dimly recall my obsessive Shawol days and still consider myself a card carrying Czennie. I wear my Atiny bracelets. But ya’ll… I like it all.
I like it ALL now.
I like the cheesy stuff and the gritty stuff and the popstatic and the bombastic. I like the mellow songs and the hyper songs, the ballads and the bangers. I like Korean rap, hip hop, trot, rock, and the funky experimental stuff. Girl groups, boy bands, soloists, and collaborations. I realize a lot of the stuff I like now is not even considered kpop but I’m keeping it all under the umbrella term anyways.
Maybe around 2023 I went full tilt boogie no holds barred just toss it all in endless shuffle mode? I dunno exactly.
I listened to the new SHINee album yesterday for a few hours. Then listened the album they put out before that, and the album before that… but then I popped back over the mix, added some new songs from the releases this week, and happily blissed out.
I just really like Kpop.
I guess this is a warning to everyone. You may think you’re a happy stan now but… the multiverse has its eye on you… don’t look into that void my friends! It will eat you up and take over your musical life! Discernment? We don’t know her!
