2010 vs 2016

it's my first ever blog, idk if this is even worthy of one. sigh. anyways, i'm just here to rant. i've been a kpop fan since '09, i have an old account (but my username is too embarassing and quite childish so i created this account-- a less childish one.) aff and kpop in general used to be so fun. it still is today. many idols debuted and new genration kpop has been taking over the world, but i can't help but get sad for those old groups, like dbsk, suju, bigbang, 2pm, etc. those are the legends. 

long time ago, when i first joined aff, there are many stories that readers can pick, with different genres, from different groups. when you visit the featured page, you can pick stories with characters like tvxq, shinee, snsd, f(x), ze:a, etc. but lately, all i can see are exo stories. everywhere it's exo. i know you guys like exo, i do too but c'mon. what about the other groups. idk if this post even makes sense but yeah, like what i've told ya i'mjust here to rant bc i don't anything better to do. 

sincerely yours, someone who misses the good old days of kpop.

I feel you on many levels.
I started listening to kpop in 2011. dbsk (my absolute love, fav #1), suju, 2pm, big bang, snsd, kara, shinee, etc.
I listened to all of them. it quite crazy to see how many groups are debuting today. way too oversaturated imo. going way too fast, in a sense

and it wasn't until 2012-2013 that I came to aff. think around this time, there were still many infinite fics, shinee fics, etc. that were featured

I do see how nowadays exo fics have taken over. it is sad because the variety factor is lost. one would have to look for those fics (for other groups) specifically to find them, or few at all.

and I do agree with you. it would be nice to see some more variety of fics from variety of groups. the good old days would be nice; we're all getting old, lol. :)
