Koo-Koo for K-Pop

Yeah, I’m no longer a spring chicken—or “gum snapper” as a retired friend often says.  Not sure if that makes me happy or sad.  Like having the maturity and wisdom; don’t like having the wrinkles and crinkles!

Having bored of listening to the same music, I opted for trying some new genres.  Ech.  Most didn’t do much.  Then, I came across K-pop.  Wow.  Wish I’d discovered it much earlier, though from what I understand, when I was 20, it hadn’t yet come to be.  <big sigh>

For those not in the know, K-pop is short for Korean popular music.  It originated in South Korea and leans toward bubbly, upbeat, catchy.  English words/phrases are prevalent, as are English names for the bands/groups.  Most of them are <bleeping> attractive and seem extraordinarily young (but maybe that’s because I’m now extraordinarily old).

While there are lots of K-pop sites, www.allkpop.com appears to “be the premier source for all the latest K-pop celebrity gossip and news.”  The stats are pretty impressive, with 10,000,000+ followers and fans. 

If you’ve not heard any, take a listen.  Have fun, be young, and—as they used to say once upon a time ago—trip the light fantastic (d-a-n-c-e)!
