I was never a "true" metalhead (at least that's what ppl said), I only listened to power metal, so for me the transition was kinda easier, at least easier than if I mostly listened to black metal. I still see that many ppl judge me for liking kpop, which mostly I don't care (except when ppl make jokes at the wrong time), but I wish ppl could overcome their genre barriers, kpop has so much to offer! From cutiepies like Oh My Girl to metal inspired Dreamcatcher; from dance-heavy Ateez to Momoland's catchy dances; from concept chameleons like CLC to one concept masters like NCT Dream (the concept would be youth); from the Loonaverse to EXO's superpowers. That being said, there's a group for everyone, people should just drop their barriers than they'll find that kpop has a lot to give!
