EXO Tumblr 2014: A Glorious Nostalgic Journey
EXO fandom back in the Tumblr days was like stepping into a vibrant digital playground filled with laughter, creativity, and a touch of ridiculousness that only K-Pop fans can appreciate. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane and explore the whimsical world of EXO through the lens of Tumblr in 2014.
First off, can we talk about the early Instagram accounts? I mean, come on! It was a goldmine of hilarity. Remember Kai’s Instagram? I could have sworn it was something ridiculous like KIMKAAAAA. Every post had me in stitches. And let’s not forget the classic EXO Tumblrs that took creativity to the next level! Who could ever forget that one girl with the chipmunk voice doing voiceover reactions? Iconic! Oh, and the English covers of EXO songs by that girl named Silverlight? Pure magic!
Oh, the EXO CFs! That one with XOXO in the background while they did cute shoe ads? Adorable! And who could ignore the charm of EXO Next Door? We lived for that drama! Seriously, how did we even survive those days of waiting for updates?
Fast forward a couple of years, and we had major shifts. Around 2016-2017, many EXO-Ls got fed up with Twitter’s chaos and hopped onto a cozy little forum called Aeriverse. Talk about social media evolution!
Now, let’s reminisce about the golden days of exosexo. Talk about iconic videos that fueled our fandom spirit! Though they’ve since shifted their focus away from EXO, we still love them for the memories they provided.
Speaking of nostalgia, let’s address the elephant in the room: the Chanyeol and Dara ship. I mean, he dropped hints about marrying her in high school! Then there were the infamous Baekhyun vs. Chanyeol jokes during the Blackjack and SONE turf wars. Ah, drama! Although, who could forget the wild “bacon fandom” war where fans spammed the bacon tag with Baekhyun’s pictures? Classic Tumblr shenanigans!
Then there was that infamous moment when Tao liked some explicit fanfiction on Weibo. Why not add a sprinkle of scandal to our already intriguing EXO timeline, right?
In hindsight, Tumblr was the ultimate archival treasure trove for EXO fandom. It captured everything from old interviews and quirky memes to precious interactions with other idols. I mean, can any other social media platform truly rival that? I still go back to read those hilarious LiveJournal posts that perfectly encapsulate the quirks of our fandom humor from the EXO debut era.
And let’s have a moment of silence for the EXO apps — where are they now? From Super Star SM to Starpop, they fueled our obsession. I vividly recall playing the old games and obsessively refreshing my Tumblr feed while streaming live concert audio.
As older EXO-Ls, we often wrestle with the fact that the fanbase seems much younger now. But let’s embrace this journey! After all, the magic of music knows no age limit. Whether you’re jogging to Monster or stuffing your face with snacks while watching old concerts, we all share a love for the boys that keeps us young at heart. 🎉
