Any punishment? Oh boy.. :3
Completely unrelevant to the current "discussion":
Another music-related thread made me remember about when I first came in contact with kpop, and I got curious about what others experience was like.
So, guys of the j-pop - k-pop thread, how did you first get in contact with what you're listening to? What was the first band/artist? What did listen to before, and do you still listen to other genres?
Maybe I should post my own experience.. duh!
While I've watched anime for quite a few years, I didn't really pay attention to the songs in intros/outros apart from a select few, so I won't count that. I was in the "What are you currently listening to?"-thread and noticed a few people talking about "SNSD", "GG", or "Girls' Generation". Little did I know that it was all the same group. Since most people just post what they're listening to and leave for a while, I didn't get any description of what SNSD was. And for some reason I didn't google it either. Then, someone posted a picture of SNSD from their Gee-era and I just had to check out their music. So yeah, I first checked out their music thanks to their appealing faces and from the moment I heard Gee and Oh! I slowly began to leave the metal-music behind and jump into the sea of kpop! I still listen to some metal occasionally, but it's 98% kpop in my hears these days.
