I will preface this and say I usually greatly dislike mid-late 3rd gen. and on Kpop compositions because they are synthetically grating on the ears (hypocritical, I am aware). Vocals or performance always take the forefront when I appreciate an artist of this genre.

That being said, as much as I find the songs unpleasant, I have always admired 태민 for his vocals and dance.

Love 김희수의voice.

Have always admired his voice.

I am unsure how, but DPR during 다빈의era impacted how I approach music and time-based media.

I am still touched by the classmate who went to the band's concert years ago and brought back merch for me. Thank you.

원필 was my favourite vocalist in the band and I wanted to be like 영현, specifically because of "아 왜," Lmao.

Eccentric band I fixated on for a while. Their ballads are quite sweet, backdropped by a lovely universal theme. 용훈과동명의 voices were soothing, and Iirc the band itself was my favourite of the Korean ones. I would still listen to them for their ballads.

Good ol' soft rock. They had more influence on me than Day6, yet I can't understand in what way.

The first band that was 'mine' exclusively, courtesy of pre-installed music on my ...first Mp3 player. Accordingly, it was the ...first time I went all out soaking in a discography.

Ngl, even if I haven't listened to them for so long, this band has had a huge influence on my musical taste and perhaps who I am.

One of my first bands, introduced by a certain game... It was both fascinating and disastrous to watch them explode into the mainstream.

One of my first musical artists ever (who I am still able to recall). I was drawn to his voice when I was a wee child.

Always loved theatrics in music and performance. Remember fearing a religious relative would curse me to Hell for enjoying them though.

I like me a dose of Damon Albarn's voice. And the eclecticism.

That raunchy, throaty, bouncin', slappin' bass sent me down a path from which I can never return.

During secondary school I got into them thanks to an internet friend. Listened from then on often and throughout early high school.

It's a friggin' iconic band, that funky Flea and John. I really appreciate the instruments; however, I have a hard time with Anthony's vocals.

My whole bloody secondary education and a lil after. Ye, I grew up in a nu-metal era. Now, I know metal 'purists' will shit on nu-metal, but I found/find the music and its groove damn good fun.

Love screaming when it is appropriately directed. The band left an indelible mark on my musical taste.

The earlier part of my high school experience. I suppose musically they really appealed to me with their organised chaos

I adored their music in secondary school, especially for the theatrics. I stand by saying, if I hadn't turned out screwed up, I probably would've gone into theatre.

Truthfully, I don't think they were the best... but they created a world with their music and it helped me back then, somehow.

Listened extensively in early high school. Suppose I dug the uneasy, extraterrestrial concepts.

I would guess their music comforted me in secondary/high school. Maybe I was just relieved there was positive Asian representation.

Around the time it came out, "Broken Heart of Gold" helped me pull through a dark period. I hadn't expected to listen to them again.

Had a huge pop-punk and emo stint in secondary school. The pop-punk phase culminated with a fixation on this band.

Apart from "Pieces" and maybe "With Me," I can't say I could ever see myself listening to their music again. I combed through Sum 41's discography back then, so I will note them here for obligatory honour, not recommendation.

Nonstop listening in high school. For lack of better description, the musical atmosphere, my disposition certainly embodied it at the time.
