Does age matter?

[Tae.]

Does age matter for you when you want to follow a group?

 

We know how productive Kpop is, debuting new groups almost every month, with a younger generation of idols. And in youtube or here in OH you can always read comments like:

 

"She/He is really talented but wish she/he was older"

"Their music is good but they are fetuses"

 

And I honestly don't get it. Do people need to be certain age to be considered talented? Can't you appreciate a song if the singers are underage or younger than you?Time never stops, sooner or later we all will be "older" than the new idols, are you going to stop listening to kpop when this happens?

 

Or is this because Kpop fans need to thirst about idols 24/7 to "stan" so they need them to be older?

 

What do you think?

Thirsty assholes just want to fantasize about their oppars and unnirs without feeling gross. It's like that dude in every 18+ thread who posts smut as soon as someone turns 18 lmao

[amatea]

I have no problem if they are older or younger

 

I stan dream and Mark who is the oldest is a year younger than me so no obviously + my bias is Chenle who is the 2nd youngest

 

being born in '98 doesn't make a lot of kpop idols younger than me, mostly older

 

for as long as I like the music we're good

 

Or is this because Kpop fans need to thirst about idols 24/7 to "stan" so they need them to be older?

 

there is that too

 

thankfully, I do not thirst after people younger than me

 

bless small graces

No. It's not like I see any of these idols in a sexual way anyways. Here for the music and entertainment tbh.

[Digiwon]

Tbh I can't take kids seriously... It's hard for me to enjoy their song when their voices haven't even matured yet (I'm thinking about that jyp chinese bg, their song was good)

[blue7kaoru]

No and i don't understand why some do tbh....

[lovenatu]

I don’t like stanning younger idols and I don’t fantasize nor am I a hard stan. I just don’t like stanning younger idols. not a problem for me since most idols are older anyways.

LMAOOOO

[Casperjeff]

nah. I stan NCT, yuta, johnny and taeyong are the same age as me, Taeil is older than me, and the rest members (11boys) are younger. I don't see any of them in a sexual way tho. I love their music and personality, thats why I stan them

[Gilean]

I care about lyrics and idols who are a lot younger than me (not adults) have a higher chance of having lyrics I just can't relate to anymore or isn't relevant for me. That doesn't mean that the music is bad but it will just never have the impact on me that music I can relate to will have and it will therefor always be a lot harder for me to get into.

[Οnce]

yes ... i will stop stan idols above 26.

 

girl you should be married in that age

[Kyrie]

It doesn't matter for me. Especially when it comes to younger idols, I feel big sisterly feelings to them, like I want to protect them. That's why I get really creeped out when my male friend likes the same young idols I do- he's a nice person but has a few gross male tendencies and my big sister feelings kick in. 

 

Mostly I just enjoy watching them grow and evolve, I admire their talents and work ethic and oftentimes like the members who are cute and funny. 

[starfruit]

it shouldnt matter, to me it doesnt as long as the music is good

[taenguri]

Honestly I like when idols are around my age, I guess it makes them more relatable that way. But that being said, my oldest fave is 12 years older and turning 31 so you never know really.

[nixsi]

Nah, if I like the music I will stan. Age and visuals are not very important to me

[Nowhere Boy]

I don’t mind how old a group is, if I like them I’ll stan.

[Violymph]

Nah, if I like the music I will stan. Age and visuals are not very important to me
