Fangirls

Right. I was gonna write an entry yesterday but my brain was too tired to function. #shemur. YESS I LOVE IISUPERWOMANII. 

Urban Dictionary Definition
Fangirl: a female fan, obsessed with something (or someone) to a frightening or sickening degree. Often considered ditzy, annoying and shallow.

Last week I was asked if I was interested to watch the Korean band - Big Bang's concert movie. I like the band itself, like I listen to their music and occasionally watch their mv, but by no means I am a fangirl. I don't spend money on their albums, products or concerts. Yeah, I am an extremely lousy fan. The ticket was not expensive so I decided to go. 

After dinner, we all met up at the cinema and waited for a little while. They were all thrilled to watch the movie but I was rather indifferent, honestly I was a lot more excited for monster university or now you see me. We were all seated, and one friend told me that some loyal fans will turn on the Big Bang signature crown torch to show their support. I am sorry but why? I literally do not see a point. I know it is their favorite band and all that shit but come on they are inside the SCREEN. It's exactly like watching a DVD version of the concert but on a bigger screen with a bunch of strangers who happens to like the band as well. Coming to see the movie is already being very supportive. 

Besides watching the movie, I was also observing fangirls. Here we go:

Some teenagers were dressing up as if they were going to the real concert. What I mean by that is they were wearing a Big Bang fan hoodie, a Big Bang concert wristband, and some other gadgets that proved their loyalty. I obviously wore none because I have none. 

Whenever there's a close up shot of a member winking, smirking, or flirting to the camera, fangirls would scream gibberish, yell out members' name, have "OH MY GOD" faces, and almost attack people with their torch due to their overjoy. I was fortunate that I wasn't a victim. PIPE DOWN WILL Y'ALL. 

I was quite lucky that I recognize most of the songs so I thought it was quite an enjoyable 2-hour, but what I found most bizarre is that fangirls already know it by listening to the first beat of the song. I was given so many heads up by my friends yelling into my ears "OMG IT'S HIGH HIGH" "IT'S HARU HARU" "IT'S FANTASTIC BABY" How the heck do they manage to do that. Do they effing listen to the songs everyday for them to know the song back-to-front? I was impressed. They even start with the hand gestures, and I felt quite left out because of my lack of knowledge. Honestly, I would fail epically on any fan test. 

anywayyy SPOILER ALERT. The movie was mediocre. I thought it was actually slightly worse than watching the DVD because it was a combination of a few concerts. GD was having red hair for 2 seconds and for the next second he was sweeping his pink hair. I CAN'T COMPREHEND, MY BRAIN CAN'T MULTITASK. But I did enjoy the extra episodes in between the concert fragments. (Not the ones where they were having funny conversations because there's no subtitles..... and apparently all fangirls had already watched the bloopers on YouTube so they weren't too happy about that. Meh, it was my first time watching them so I thought they were cute)

That was my first experience of meeting a bunch of fangirls in an enclosed area, and this is my rant <3
