random insanities.

So, I'm on the Internet on this wonderful Sunday night (as always), and one of my second-degree friend comments on one of my K-Pop meme:

"all k-pop rubbish. gosh i cant believe u got brainwashed by f-ed up k pop. this is how angry i am bout stupid and completely bullshit k-pop"

And I that instant my blood level just shot up and my heart started to palpitate so wildly it scared me. I guess, I finally realised how much K-Pop meant to me. I'm not in it for the good-looking people (though that's 50% of the reason /bricked); I'm in it because the are so many things in K-Pop that you can't find in any other music industry.

You can't find the bond that all the groups have within because the antis in K-Pop are the worse you'll ever see, and only by going through hardship do the groups find the strength to continue singing on stage. Being a fan of K-Pop helps you to learn how to be strong, how to never give up when everyone's looking down on you, and how to keep on doing what you love even though the whole world thinks you can't do it.

“Language isn’t a barrier. Language must not be an issue in appreciating music. Music is a language itself. Whether you can understand it or not, it doesn’t matter as long as you can feel it.”

I can't really explain my love for K-Pop; whenever I try to do so to my parents all I get are weird looks. I love my family, but whenever they start to make fun of the Korean language I can't help but put on a face of displeasure and hope that they get the message. If not for K-Pop, I think I would've ended up like one of those girls who blasts music from her handphone in public places and use broken Singlish mixed with Hokkien vulgarities.

There's a high chance I'll eventually grow out of the K-Pop fandom, but I'm grateful that I've been such a passionate fan, more than any amount of words can express.
