I've been feeling so disillusioned with k-pop lately. Like, I've always known it's basically an idol factory with shady backroom goings-on and dumb rules and a culture that focuses so much on looks and towing a creative and moral line... I dunno. It's hard to ignore. The culture of collectivism found in Asian countries means that you can't really be your own star most of the time, or even wish to aspire to be. You're conditioned, groomed even, to settle for less and find satisfaction in just that. And you always have to be a team-player. But not even for your own team, like a band, your friends you chose to be with, but some company's team they chose for you.

It's going to sound racist as all hell, but I honestly can't tell k-pop idols apart half the time. It's not just the way they're all done up the exact same, but just... everything. It's disturbing.

It's a situation where I have to remind myself there's a difference between being a celebrity and a musician. And that's okay. And it's perfectly valid to like either. Passion is a good thing. It's just starting to wane for me as far as k-pop is concerned... Actually for a while now.

I will always like Asian pop music I think.
It's true you can't really tell which group is which anymore.
I could say I am over metal myself, since I listen to so much of it.
but the fact music is always the same no matter what genre, makes me want to listen to it more, if that makes sense?
like I'd be in a dark place if it wasn't for music and friends cheering me on all the time.
looks I've always had an issue with in music.
it's so shallow, yet at the same time it sells so idk.
wish it was different somehow.

I can't be the only one who accidentally dropped their laptop and has a cracked screen and every so often tries to remove the hair from their screen... only to realize its not hair.. its the crack in the screen. 🤔

I'm just tired of everything right now...

I think that makes sense, that it makes you want to listen to it more. Maybe because it's reliable? You know the music's always there for you, and won't change like so many things do. But yeah, looks... sigh. Like, it's good to have an image and to take care of yourself, but it shouldn't become your whole thing, it's still about the music. But that's also what I meant by the difference between celebrity and musician, I guess, hehe.

I am listening to Tristania atm Gothic metal masters <3 They do the switch of vocal styles so well.
Haven't anything new from them in a number of years though.

it's been over a year since retro future by triple h came out but i'm still wondering whether i genuinely like that song or i listen to it only because they say "back to the future" in the lyrics

I just want to get my tricycle done and homework is wjsnjwjsjajw

I’m trying to build a tricycle and I need to learn how to weld metal. I want to build it to see if I can make it lighter and faster but homework

Anyways I already have a base to go off of, which is just a normal tricycle. However, when I’m building it I might go off and change the design so it’ll be lighter and faster, while also able to carry normal weight.

After I make it move by pedaling, I want to use electricity and connect motors to make it move without pedaling so I can zoom around the neighborhood.
But I need to get homework done

I ordered me some volumising extensions~ I really wanna try an Ariana ponytail but dye it pink, but extensions are expensive af especially if you want Ariana length so i'm gonna try the volumising extension for my hair length which is much cheaper so I can see how good the hair actually is from this brand before I spend a lot more money~ besides i've been wanting something volumising for my hair anyways since last summer I didn't have time to care for my hair properly and got a lot of breakage so it's really thin at the ends rn
