| A few of my fave albums from my fave artists |
After nearly a year of receiving requests to start a blog for my music recs, I finally decided to give blogging a try! I guess I may have been driving some of my friends/family crazy with all my ig stories relating to music lol. Even if no one ends up reading this blog, I figured it’ll still be nice to have an archive of my opinions on music from the past.
Just a reminder, I don’t have a background in writing or the arts. That’s one of the big reasons I put off starting a blog. With k-pop, there are a lot of people who do reaction videos on youtube. Most of the reactors have some sort of background in music, dance, cinematography, etc. I have none of that, so I often felt like my thoughts didn’t deserve a platform like a blog. But for now, I decided to view this almost like a diary of sorts and I’m trying not to put too much pressure on myself during this experience.
Please note that I’m simply here to recommend music (including videos and performances relating to said music), share why I like it, and why I think it’s worth watching/listening to. My posts will be relatively casual and will not be full blown critiques or analyses. I’m going to try my best to keep things positive here as well. I will offer some criticism on ways I think songs could be better, but not much more than that. No outright bashing of other songs/groups here. Though if you ever want my opinion on a certain song/group, you can always ask me in the comments, and I’ll be honest with you.
I’ve mostly been listening to k-pop the past 6.5 years (how has it been that long?!), but still have a few fave western rock/post-hardcore/metalcore bands that I like to talk about. I tend to focus on more underrated artists, but will still cover popular artists whenever I feel like it. I also tend to go to a number of concerts throughout the year, so I’ll probably also do concert reviews when I start going to shows again.
Thank you if you’ve made it this far in the post lol. My first set of posts will be my top 80 korean songs of 2022. I have divided them into 4 lists: top 20 k-pop group title tracks, top 20 k-pop group b-sides, top 20 korean bands/soloists singles, and top 20 korean bands/soloists b-sides. I decided not to rank the songs and will just generally order them from good-best. Honestly, I’m way too indecisive to rank that many songs.
It'll probably take me a little over 2 weeks to get through all of them, so January will be busy! I wanted to get this intro out before the new year, so I can dive right into talking about music in 2023. And with that, I’ll be back here again in January! Hope everyone has a happy new year!
