Is it hard being a K-pop stan?

my friends just think its weird

and they laugh at me sometimes

not really

I don't think people really give a shit what I listen to

nope

as you grow older people tend to not give a crap

it's embarrassing

i never tell anyone i like kpop. honestly most kpop fans (like on twitter) are SO embarassing and everyone assumes kpop fans act like that. so it's better to keep my hobby a secret

No, it ain't hard

Why would it be hard? You can stan Western music too, no one cares.

I converted my cousin to ARMY, just by letting her listen, because we were sharing songs. Like what you like. If it's not your jam, don't listen. More music for everyone is good.

for me it is. my family are poc (my dad is Mexician an my mom is Black) so they always ask why i don't listen to my own culture and stuff like that. The kids at school aren't any much better either. I'm used to it by now but it's mad annoying.

as long as you are not a koreaboo like Oli, no one cares

Irl it don't look like I listen to kpop, so when I tell people they end up just surprised, but I know that's not the case for everyone

Lol back then I didn't post kpop a lot cause I was scared people were gonna judge me or avoid me.

Which probably happen.

But I post kpop time to time on my instagram story

not for me

a lot of my classmates are kpop stans too lmao

people laugh at me when they heard i like kpop. they judge u, lmao.

given my age, people probably think im too old for kpop. well, is there age limit when it come to music, no right? LOL.

I haven’t been bullied per se, but I have had some strange reactions from people when I tell them I’m into K pop or get them to listen to a song. They think it’s strange to see someone my age into that kind of music especially when you can’t in the lyrics. Yes, it is hard to be a K pop stan and that’s why I’m getting out of it.

No, I choose to make it fun. It's a hobby for me.

Nope for me.

no y would it be hard lmao

No not at all, some of my friends listen to BM and some R&B kpop songs so they are really into SM songs and some idols outside, music is music at the end of the day

When you get even older (like me), you’ll just have to explain what Kpop is; after a certain point, no one shames you for your musical taste.

I do have to explain what it is, they just don’t have a clue and I don’t think I’l’l still be listening to K pop before my 50’s are out and if I am definitely won’t be advertising it.
