Too many white liberals getting offended on behalf of Asians who couldn't give a shit.

Not offended, overwhelmed with second hand embarrassment.

I had a weeaboo phase, but I was well past it by the time I got into k-pop and knew better.

 

At the time, I was close to worshipping Japan and occasionally peppered my sentences with Japanese words. Since I'm introverted, though, I was spared from really embarrassing myself or offending anyone else, so the only one who knew about my weeaboo phase at all was my brother (and people I told after the fact).

If you're texting someone and your brain feels like it's the right time to text a Korean word, just do it in Korean instead of romanization, that always annoys me. 안녕, 미안, 누구, ì—, 어머, whatever you feel like, just do it. Well, if you're texting friends who like the same things. (For obvious reasons.) I never understood why people never take the 2 little hours to learn how to read/write. I have a friend who's into k-pop for 7 YEARS and still doesn't know how to do that. I can't even google lyrics on YouTube without seeing them "yeh meh po do kah" like, why are you making it look hard? Once you get a hold of Korean, it's just like any other language.

I've tried, hard. I just brainfart. I can't memorize the alphabet. Some of us are just stupid.

Maybe because they're into the music and not the written language lol... just because you like kpop doesn't automatically mean you have to like every single aspect of Korean culture :3

I'm too tired to write a wall text right now, so watch this - maybe you'll understand?

Um I completely understand and I agree with what she said. In fact, I also personally despise the word "koreaboo" and I hate it when people use the Korean language as an accessory - and I'm not even Korean. The thing is though, what she said is completely irrelevant to what I'm trying to say.

 

Someone can like music from a certain culture without having to embrace the culture in its entirety. For example, it is possible for someone to like Korean music, but not like Korean food. Someone can like kpop and not be interested in learning how to read and write Korean. I am an example. Do you know why?

 

Because music is a universal medium. It connects people regardless of what language they speak or where they are from. You tell me that I don't understand what I'm listening to, and you can probably predict my answer - that I can look up the translations. But there's more to it than that - first of all, I personally as a music-listener pay more attention to the melody than to the words. When I hear a song, I often forget the lyrics but I remember how the melody goes, regardless of what language it is in. Secondly, I pay attention to more than just the voice - music is more than vocals, and it includes instrumentals, dynamics, effects, etc. I listen to how the instrumentals layer over one another. I often listen to a single song several times just to try and pick apart the different instruments or loops that are playing behind the vocals, and how they change throughout the song. Thirdly, I have a hard time understanding singing anyways, even in English, in which I am fluent. I often look up the lyrics to English songs because I don't understand what the singer is saying lol. 

 

I listen to music in a variety of languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and I even have a favourite Thai song. I am only fluent in one of the languages I listed. If there is a song I like in French, Indian, or hell, even an African dialect, I will listen to it if I feel the music. 

 

Classical music has no words. Yet it can make some people cry.

Dubstep music has no words. Yet it can get people hyped up.

Some music happens to be in another language. Yet people can still understand and enjoy it.

There are many popular songs in Korea that are in another language, mainly English. I'm sure a lot of Koreans don't understand those songs in their entirety either - but they still enjoy it and still listen to it, BECAUSE THEY CAN!

 

There are no limits to music so I don't understand why some people act like there are. I don't understand why we all can't get together and just celebrate music.

 

I am a kpop fan but I am not a "koreaboo". I hate that word!

Korean food is not outstanding to me, I don't like many of the core values of Korean society, and MANY Korean people annoy me in real life, and I don't give them any special treatment! Most of all, I SURE AS HELL do NOT use any Korean slang to ornament myself or to use in a pretentious way. I am proud of who I am and where I come from, and what music I choose to listen to has NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.

 

I don't know what you were trying to imply in your comment, but if you were directing that video at me, you need to reevaluate the way you think about music because it is not a form of exclusion. Just to clarify, I am in no way trying to argue with you; I'm just giving my two cents on music and how I think music should be viewed.

 

Someone that likes kpop who is not Korean should not automatically be classified "koreaboo", and like I said before, it is possible for someone to like a particular aspect of a foreign culture without having to embrace the culture in its entirety. One of those things is a universal vessel of expression called music, and there is absolutely nothing that requires someone enjoying music to learn how to read and write in that language (the skills of which aren't even used when LISTENING).

*grunts* I hate when people do this. I was talking about koreaboo's respecting Korean language, not treating it like an accessory that you can toss around - "ah, oppa saranghae!" And you.. what? Are you really responding to me? What are you even talking about? "You tell me that I don't understand what I'm listening to" Wait, when did I? You're not talking about people who like k-pop, or koreaboo's, but yourself personally, and we're not talking about you, we were talking about k-pop fans in general! "Someone that likes k-pop shouldn't be classified as a koreaboo" Uhh, they're not! There's a very thick line between a k-pop fan and a koreaboo, and you act defensive when it's unnecessary. I like these songs and I listen to these songs... OKAY! That's great! Nobody is saying anything to you - it's great you like a variety of music! I didn't show you the video to attack you - I was trying to show you how it affects people when koreaboo's disgrace Korean language! "KOREAN MEN ARE SO HOT!" (inserts picture of a Korean idol) I WANT TO GO TO OPPALANDIA!!!! (inserts picture of Korean idol) I AM LEARNING KOREAN!!!! (reblogs a picture of the sky with "haneul" written on it) It's such a sensitive and broad topic and I don't really have time to talk about it. You seem to have a point so you can copy and paste your great rant and make a new thread.
