tenuousgrip15's journey

I recently went through the application process for a job I really wanted at a company, and after a month of interviews, I made it to the final round. Unfortunately, I received a rejection email about a month ago. Just today, I noticed that the same role has been reposted. I'm not sure if they didn't hire anyone from the previous round or if they have a new opening. The rejection email was quite generic and didn't indicate if they would be open to my application in the future, but I did express my continued interest in the role when I replied. Now I'm wondering if I should apply again or if it would be considered strange to do so.
