A revelation of some sorts...

Well actually I've spent quite a bit of time this morning chatting with remiixx over texts. We started talking about k-pop and.. the "state" that it's in right now, with all this shit everywhere.

I am gonna get this out in the open, although I'm sure most of you have noticed by my lack of posts abt it:

TBH, I am completely sick of k-pop at the moment. It's just too much drama and shit for me. I just want everyone to get along, but all this crap with 2PM, DBSK, Suju... ETC ETC (AKA EVERYTHING)

I AM SICK OF IT.

To the point where I don't even really want to care anymore. I still like DBSK, don't get me wrong. I just don't want to deal with it. I am sick of hearing netizens complain. I am sick of hearing about car accidents. I am sick of hearing about ANTI'S, and yes.. I will say it. I really think that K-pop and some of their fans are extremely superficial and I really don't want to deal with that. (I am not talking about any of you lovely ladies on my f-list-- more people I have encountered and most Korean fans (they scare the shit out of me)

I still like a lot of the music. I keep up to date about information and stuff (thanks omonatheydidnt), but I just...

I'm done.

If you are one of the people who friended me because I was in the k-pop fandom and you don't really want to hear me posting about Arashi anymore, then you are welcome to de-friend me.

Is there a chance I'll get back into the fandom? Sure, but I just want some sanity for a while.

Arashi and their fans make me sane. When I think about the Arashi fandom, I think, "Why can't the rest of the world get along like them?"

I understand this somewhat. I've only been seriously into K-pop for a few months, but it seems like the drama there is so much more SRS BZNS. Particularly in the fact that the crazy fans and antis' comments and actions actually have an effect on the industry.

That was the reason I managed to avoid getting into k-pop for so long. Because I knew that the fanbase (the crazy portion anyway) did some incredibly scary stuff.

It's really too bad too, because the music is really good and many of the artists are seriously talented. :/

oh it really really is much more srs bzns.

It's a total shame because I agree.. some of the music is really good. Which.. is why I think I'm now in it only for the music, and nothing more.
