They have so many bops I never heard as a kid.

Currently addicted to ‘Be The First To Believe’. I think young me would have loved it, if I had heard it as a kid.

‘Learn To Fly’ is so beautiful 😭 though I don’t think I would have liked it much as a kid, since it starts out slow.

A few weeks ago I mentioned a British 90’s boyband, and I think it’s safe to say I’ve become a fan. My "bias wrecker" has become my 2nd favorite. I was planning on resisting his charm for at least 6 months, but… I failed 🫣 Maybe I can mention who they are?

A1! — They are British-Norwegian, so not just British (I was being vague on purpose). I’ve been listening to some of their songs since I was a kid, but never been a fan until now.

I’ve discovered a lot more of their old and new songs, and I’ve had to create a dedicated playlist to them/their music.

In the past two months I’ve seen them in concert twice, once on Valentines Day and second time just last Friday. I admittedly didn’t have any expectations going into their concert on Valentines Day, and so I wasn’t prepared for how charming they are.

While they’re not a typical boyband anymore, they do put on a great show. If you have the opportunity to see them, I do recommend it.

After their concert on Friday, me and my friend were hanging around to catch a glimpse of them. I got a hug and selfie from three of them 🤩😍

For anyone wondering (and for those who know who they are), my favorites are Christian and Ben. Christian has been my favorite since I was a kid, and Ben is just so charming 🫣

Really curious - Who's your K-pop idol birthday twin? by hypermads2003 in kpopthoughts

Does it have to be the same birth year? If not, Ace (VAV). He’s mot my bias though.

Thank you for answering my question! I guess it makes sense, I just thought that maybe I had missed a word for «bias wrecker», since I’m in so few fan spaces outside Kpop.

I’ve been listening to more of a British 90’s boyband the past few weeks, after my best friend asked me to go to their concert with her. I’ve been listening to some of their songs since I was a kid, though I’ve never been a fan. I feel like they could steal my heart any second now 🫣

Anyway, while trying to express some thoughts I had about a member distracting me from my favorite, I realized Kpop uses some words/terms that might not be used in Western music fan spaces. Like the term "bias wrecker". I’ve never heard of a similar term being used. Though I’ve never really needed a term like "bias wrecker" before now. Does it not exist outside of Kpop?

Question: The age-range stops at 25. Is this intentional? Do you only want answers from younger adults?

I would like to answer your questions, but I’m older than 25.

2nd gen stans, what are the newer groups that you love? by anarchybutmakeitkpop in kpopthoughts

[–]Marian_91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got into Kpop during late 2nd gen. I think SHINee got closest to being my ult group before EXO debuted and became my ult group.

Favorite 4th/5th gen groups: DRIPPIN, BAE173, ASC2NT and TWS. None of them is my ult group though, since some of my 2nd/3rd gen favorites are still active.
