Let's be honest - K-pop ain't science, but we make it more complicated than it really is cuz we are traumatized.

  • We are a bunch of perfectionist, narcissist, pervs, bully, envious, needy people who just throw our frustrations/lacking towards idols/music .


    "X" is not good enough to be a singer and "it reminds me how harsh I'm towards myself and my capacity of being good and authentic and voicing my needs" ".


    ."X" isn't good looking enough to cover the ugliness that I have in my soul.


    "X" sells more than "X" and that shows my superiority complex which hides my feelings of worthlessness. "



    The moment we were told there was something wrong in ourselves we started to see wrong in other things. Isn't sad?


    I remember me being a 5 year old singing and dancing to Britney spears and red hot chilli peppers without thinking "ugh, you can't listen rock and pop together" "ugh, miss Britney spears don't sing live" bla, bla, bla.



    I'm a hypocrite, cuz even if I'm reflecting on this subject I'll continue complaining... and that's ok cuz we are humans and we are never satisfied. BUT now I think I can have an space of just pure enjoyment cuz all those projections come from sheer pain of a child who was tainted by the world.


    We love and we hate what we are... So think about it.

  • After being into Kpop for about 5 years now, I know better. The Kpop newbie in me 5 years ago didn't know that especially when my favs were attacked, I'd go straight for my attacker's favs too but now, I'm less vocal about idol's weaknesses and stuff like that, in fact I only focus on positive things lately.

  • And if something is going on, it'll be ok.


    The one thing that opened my eyes was bad experiences with toxic fans of one group that was growing strong and one older group that was still going strong. I reached an extent where I saw myself drifting away into a hater. So I took a break.


    Actually, my favs slowing down worked for me too because now, I only think and talk positive things.

    Sometimes it feels like the animal instinct overridiNg the thinking mind.


    It's like a lioness attacking a tiger's offspring and then the tiger attacking the lioness's offspring. We see idols/music/things/people as part of our territory and the moment there's a threat the toxicity starts.


    Good that you have manage things and flow with positivity.

  • Yes, thank you for asking. That's kind.

    It's just that I have multiple mood swings and I start thinking about how things are the way they are and I have to vent out .

    Anyway... Even if the post was written in first person I wasn't necessary referring to myself, but I can still identify In certain aspects somehow.


    The examples with the x are metaphors that I though about. Now... Regarding the Britney /RHCP example that's real and that comes from my experience

  • Sometimes people just like following charts because they’re data needs but I get the overall idea of your post and I generally agree. I’ve seen this behavior from other genres too tho, pop, hiphop, rock, as long as they have the stan lifestyle aka not only liking and listening to your faves content but also actively following charts/performances/discussion etc

  • lmao i thought of this immediately
