Happy 10:th K-pop Anniversary to me! The other week I realized I was approaching my first decade as a k-pop fan. Time flies. Can still remember back in March 2010, browsing the forum of waffles.fm. There was a thread about perfect pop songs. People posted stuff like The Smiths - There's A Light That Never Goes Out, New Order - Blue Monday, Girls Aloud - Call The Shots. Someone had linked a video called Gee. Clicked play and four minutes later clicked replay. The colours, the relentless bubblegum energy, the scissorleg dance, freaking SUNNY. It was love at first sight and changed my life in ways big and small. A decade of songs, dances, running man, knowing bros, 3 trips to Korea, new friends, a ridiculous record collection, and seeing k-pop going from a fringe cult thing to actual mainstream later k-pop can still give me the same giddy delight. When the guitar in Love Bomb's chorus pumps out those melancholic power chords, everything that happens in Red Flavour, the YEAAAHH in NTC's Superhuman. When it comes to inventive exciting production k-pop is still far ahead of the game. Anyhow. Made a "tiny" playlist to celebrate my decade of k-pop fandom. 140 songs (bring it back to 140!), maximum one from each artist (subunits count as their own thing), all presented chronologically. This is my k-pop experience. This is my memory lane. If asked I could write something about any song on this list. A memory, an emotion, why this song in particular mattered to me. And believe me, I had to kill some darlings just to get the list to 140...
