Lost your KPOP feeling?

It's been ages since I last posted a blog here, on Asianfanfics.
It has also been ages ago that I posted something KPOP-related on Tumblr, or that I even thought about it.

Honestly, a few months back I didn't like KPOP that much no more. To be quite honest, I couldn't care one bit about any of the comebacks anymore. Not even from my favorite groups, except TVXQ. It surprised me. I always thought I would stay a fan forever. I had been a fan for four years at the time.

I guess time changes, and you change with it. I wasn't interested at all anymore. And so I did the thing I should've done much earlier.

If KPOP were a thing you could grab, I probably would've put it in a box and hid it somewhere I actually never went to. I had hundreds of Korean songs on my phone, but none were listened to. I deleted all the videos I had (and to think of it, I had a collection of about 500 videos - not counting the MVs with them). For a long while I also neglected Asianfanfics and on Tumblr I unfollowed all the KPOP-blogs I was such a big fan of before. Why? I don't know. It was not that I wanted to keep it out, but this was just like... a new me.

I've held on to this for at least three months. I haven't really counted it. It might be four, or five, even.

About two weeks ago, I was in a nostalgic mood, and so I decided to listen to music I used to be fan of before. It started off with the Golden Earring, a band I've liked since I was a baby, and bands like Escape The Fate, bands I used to be such a big fan of during my early teen years. I ended up listening to Infinite and MBLAQ again, and it was like a punch in the face. All of a sudden, I got that excited feeling inside of me again, and I searched up many other songs on YouTube. It was weird, but it grabbed me all over again. I'm not as extreme as I was before - I don't use Tumblr that much anymore, so I am happy with the two or three kpop blogs I follow now, and I don't follow the whole kpop industry anymore. Just the bands I followed before, and I might check Soompi, AKP and others sites more often. But I'm back into it, that's a definite.

So my tips for people who still like kpop but  don't feel the same about it anymore? Just shut it out for a couple of months and listen back to it again. Especially if you yourself or your life has changed, it will probably come back.

Well, so much for my first blog post in ages.
Have a nice day.

Same thing. I just don't honestly care about KPop now. I'm going back to old school and JPop now. Sometimes American. I just lost interest.
