Is Kpop nerd culture in Europe and America? Are you a nerd?

[StarShapedGummy]

i think most fans (or the most passionate fans) are introverts in general. since they dont go out much or hang out all the time with friends, they spend time watching and loving idols as though they were their friends in that time unused. 

of course through kpop, they become quasi-extroverts cuz they bond with other other people who share the same passion.

so since most fans mostly express their love for it at home, then it is kind of a nerdy culture...but i feel like this is the case in more parts of asia too.

I miss the days when nobody knew what it was. That was when kpop was the most fun for me.

Now that it's in the mainstream in Australia, people listen to it as casually as any other genre but aren't really part of the stan culture if you know what I mean. So nobody knows I like kpop even if they wouldn't judge me for it. I like to keep it to myself, it's like my double life at home lol.

I think millennials tend to be more judgy than people born after like '97ish though. People my age are pretty mature about it, but there are also a lot of annoying tween fans which I guess is where the "nerd" image comes from.

yeah... before psy, then bts, then blackpink made kpop truly global, it was only really popular in asia.

it was those days when you dont speak too much of kpop outside of your circle of friends who might know of "kpop" but haven't listened to it.

nowadays, it has become too big and it trends every day on twitter...
