old twice songs are so nostalgic they even make me cry (venting?)

I (F20) was a K-pop fan from 2015 to 2021. During that time, I listened to groups like BTS, Blackpink, and Red Velvet, but the group that had the biggest impact on me was TWICE. I loved them so so much—I watched every single video i could find about them.

As time went on, I sadly drifted away from K-pop, especially as 4th gen groups started gaining the spotlight. I just couldn’t connect with them the same way. Recently, though, I stumbled across my old K-pop playlist, which is mostly filled with TWICE songs. Listening to it hit me with a wave of nostalgia unlike anything I’ve ever felt.

I found myself crying to the songs that hold the most memories for me: Knock Knock, One in a Million, What is Love, and even the intros of Cheer Up and Like Ooh-Ahh. These songs took me back to when I was so deeply into TWICE. I remembered how much I adored them, even when people at school made fun of me for liking K-pop. I didn’t care, TWICE meant everything to me!

Now, I’m definitely planning to check out their newer music and stuff. This experience was so emotional for me, and I needed to vent about it because I don’t have anyone to share it with who wouldn’t find it weird.

Am I the only one who feels this way? Or do you guys also get overwhelmed with nostalgia for old twice songs (or old kpop songs in general)?
