i’ve been a kpop fan for a couple of years now. 7 years actually. bts was my first group and still are my ults and from the moment i got into them in 2018, kpop became a massive fixation for me. i was keeping up with new debuts, comebacks, concerts, etc. however ever since around last year, i’ve begun to realize how detached i’ve become. other than the groups i already listen to/stan, it’s become a bit harder for me to get into any new groups or even keep up with some comebacks. i’m still kept up in any news of the industry/community since i am still on kpop twitter and here on reddit. but the simple act of caring about these new groups and releases is gone. specifically 5th gen. they just don’t seem interesting anymore. when i have tried listening to new songs or groups, they just bore me. they’re not interesting, there’s nothing “new”, everything just feels like the same thing over and over again or like groups that have already come before. the only 5th gen groups that i’ve managed to feel interested in are baemon and meovv and that’s probably cause they fill the blackpink void until they comeback. other than them, kpop as a whole has just felt boring. i’d say after newjeans is when kpop kinda started to fall off for me. i do like newjeans tho, they have great songs. idk if it’s just me getting older or the industry declining but i’ve found it easier to just listen to the groups i’ve been and even then some of them i only listen to the title tracks. listening to full projects feel like a chore unless im genuinely looking forward to it. idk what do yall think tho? submitted by /u/Outrageous-Ad7806 [link] [comments]
