My two different personalities


Spotify wrapped is here! In total I listened music to 40k minutes this year.

My top artists were:
1. NewJeans (suprise!)
2. Charli XCX (I thought she was gonna be number 1)
3. LE SSERAFIM ( i knew they were gonna be in  my top5, my new favorite group)
4. PinkPantheress (also a suprise! i think the features in Le sserafim's Crazy and Troye Sivan's Rush might explain because I listened to them a lot)
5. Unloved (big suprise, this is basically one album from the Killing Eve soundstrack and has been on my top artist list for years)

I was also 0,5% most active listener of NewJeans! I was suprised. I love them but I had no idea I had listened to them so much. I feel like both NewJeans and PinkPantheress make a type of chill music that is just very pleasing to my ears and i can replay their songs thousands of times without getting bored. Supernatural might be my favorite song of the year. Now that it's confirmed that NewJeans leaves HYBE, I hope they find safety and success in a new better company.

Around last spring I started listening music much more and I have said it here before but during summer I got into kpop again in a way I've never been into. I also found jpop(Morning Musume was my number 1 on soundcloud wrapped). One part of me wishes I had listened more other genres than kpop. Indie and dreampop used to be my most listened genres, but I feel like I've needed pop music these past months when I've been feeling down(although Slowdive and Cocteau Twins did make to my most listened songs list). Even though "brat" has been a viral tiktok album and the album of the year, I've been a listener of Charli since Vroom Vroom. I've changed a lot these past months and I feel like "brat" truly captures the energy I've had going on. I'm getting older but I'm more than ever excited about clubbing and concerts. I also went to my very first techno raves this year.

Most of my favorite kpop songs were by girl groups. I really got into IVE, LE SSERAFIM and XG this year. Only these past months I've been listening to my old SHINee, EXO, and NCT127 favorites. I also got into Stray Kids and I'm obsessing over them to the point that I bought a ticket to their concert! They make the perfect music for gym which I started recently.  I'm also seeing Taemin and Charli XCX next year, which I'm really excited about.

There are a lot of popular new boy groups but I haven't had that much interest in them. Zerobaseone is the only I've listened to and I do like their music and the group seems super funny(and gay). From new girl groups I'm most excited about MEOVV although they only have 3 songs out they're super talented and beautiful. I feel like I see in them what lot of people see in Blackpink and Babymonster (an it girl/girl crush concept), except in their case I actually like their music.

All in all, music has been very important to me this year. I found a lot of new artists this year. For the first time in my life I've also allowed myself to be a full on fangirl and less shameful about my kpop interest. I watched both MAMA and MMA and I will be watching the Christmas concert SBS Gayo Daejeon.

Anyway, I'm excited for Twice's comeback tomorrow and Stray Kids comeback next week!
