Nostalgia

I miss the days back in 2006-2010 when a lot of people were into japanese music and I could find lots of cool new bands, talk to other fans, we used to make a lot of related graphics and the journal sphere seemed much more active in general.

Nowadays, although my interests have shifted a bit, I still keep those times in my heart. It was just so much fun! Everyday you found something new, something worth ranting for hours and worth iconing or making a layout of.

Have you experienced this, with this fandom or another one? I'm curious!

oof, big mood. I remember discovering so many great j-pop/k-pop artists through LJ comms that would upload albums and singles. You'd think that would be even easier to do now with things like Spotify and Youtube embed.

I feel like the journalsphere is just... not as popular anymore with the rise of sites like twitter and tumblr. :( It's slower paced and requires more active engagement than liking+retweeting.

It's sad because I loved internet back then, I used to learn so much everyday and I don't know. No one seems to care about these things as much anymore and it makes me feel nostalgic D:

Liking and retweeting is killing all interaction.
