⚠ 0:47 "we create THE trends"*
call me stupid but idk what they meant with ‘nineteen’s kitsch’. feel free to change it back if you do though 🤝

[@calling.moon.twelve]

Yeah idk either. I guess maybe it means like things that 19 year olds do that people say are cringey or stupid but they don't care bc they're just young and being themselves???Idk highteen kitsch makes more sense to me tbh

[@BlessingRose]

Naw I don’t get it either. Maybe it’s like Eleven where it made sense with the original song? (I have no clue if this song has an original)

[@KR1_ST3N]

i so agree that 'highteen kitsch' makes a lot more sense. i think they meant like things that 19yr olds do (referencing IVE's age??) that some people call cringey and tacky..? apparently 'kitsch' has also been tied to the highteen aestehtic in korea so..

[@memoriia]

@@calling.moon.twelve that was my first thought too, which is why I keep the nineteen in the second prechorus :)

[@memoriia]

@@BlessingRose you might be right, ig we’ll know when the original leaks

[@KR1_ST3N]

OK SO amazing cover, amazing rewrite, and why do i feel like your rewrite is literally IVE? "they see me break standards every hour or so", "leading the next gen like we're 90's kids", "we're creating trends like it's '96" i like how it fits the vibe and also literally is IVE themselves. great job as always :)

[@Yoongireve]

"If life was a game, I'd have the highest score" aaaand that's the quote of the century

[@liarockkk4813]

DUDE WAIT OMG at first I was kinda eh about kitsch (it's probably my least fave release of theirs) but these lyrics actually make me love the song 😭😭 like the way you perfectly encapsulated IVE and this song's concept, using the definition of kitsch in the lyrics is so big brain too like omg
ALSO can we just appreciate the whole stanza of:
"lead the next gen like we're 90s kids, join the revolution if you think you'll fit" LIKE EXCUSE ME??? UR MIND >>> also, changing "nineteen kitsch" to "high teens kitsch" is a small detail that's actually genius somehow!!! anyway, great as always memoriia!!

[@memoriia]

Omg you should see the smile ur comment put on my face. Whenever people tell me I made them like a song they were iffy abt I honestly get so shocked?! It’s wild to me tbh but im so happy my content has that effect on you 🥰

*Lyrics!*
[ Verse 1 ]📚🗑️
It's our time.
Gettin' too loud.
Wind in my hair, pink clouds.
Oh what a good time!
Tap in, school's out.
I'm throwing the rules out.
I can't deny, I have a lot of pride.
I'm just one of a kind.
A bit too proud.
(That's my style.)
OOTD on your FYP.
One swipe, I'll BRB.
My favorites things: being young, having fun.
Say shit up-front, I'm too blunt.
'Cause I will never live another day
where I am not me.
Not my style.
(That's my style.)
[ Pre-Chorus ]👟🖍️
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
Who could fill my shoes when they're a custom fit?
We create trends like it's '96.
Cannot join my circle if you can't commit.
They see me break standards every hour or so.
They can't help but stand up when they hear our song.
If life was a game I'd have the highest score.
What you call too flashy I call Highteen's Kitsch.
[ Chorus ]🧨🎀
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't, you can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't, you can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
*Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch.*
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't, you can't kill my vibe, no.
[ Verse 2 ]💔📱
We're miles apart.
Not even near.
No way you'll find true love here.
Your goals are clear.
Don't even start.
Don't knock-knock on my heart.
'Cause I will never waste another night
in tears that can't be wiped.
Not my style.
(That's my style.)
[ Pre-Chorus ]🎀🖍️
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
Hot under your collar, mine's a custom fit.
Feelin' young and wild, like I'm nineteen-ish.
You can't join my clique, I guess we're too close-knit.
They see me break standards every hour or so.
They can't help but stand up when they hear our song.
If life was a game I'd have the highest score.
What you call too tacky I call Highteen's Kitsch.
[ Chorus ]🧨🔥
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't, you can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't, you can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
*Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch.*
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't, you can't kill my vibe, no.
[ Verse 3 (Rap) ]😘✌️
Yah. Watchu gotta say?
I'm the best at what I do.
I do it everyday.
Huh, this ain't your life.
I'm just here to thrive,
You better go away!
Talk your talk, I'll walk my walk.
So don't get in my way.
You know there's no, no way that I'll back out.
Next big thing, I'll break out.
Blow a kiss and peace out!
[ Pre-Chorus ]❤️🖍️📑
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
Feel good in my skin and in my custom fit.
Leading the next gen like we're nineties kids.
Join the revolution if you think you'll fit.
They see me break standards every hour or so.
They can't help but stand up when they hear our song.
If life was a game I'd have the highest score.
Always keep it classy, keep it Highteen's Kitsch.
[ Chorus ]🎀🧨
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't, you can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't, you can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
*Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch, Kitsch.*
You can't kill my vibe. My Highteen's Kitsch.
You can't, you can't kill my vibe, no.

Guys aside from their smart way to lyric the songs in their own way, can we appreciate the thumbnails they are a piece of art😮

[@memoriia]

thank you, ur so sweet 😭

[@minadomenechflores7185]

0:23 okay but this line literally ate

[@hanafies]

"OOTD on your FYP. One swipe, I'll BRB."
Love that part!

[@abagofsprite]

oh my GOD. it's two am for me and i've just binge-watched an unholy amount of your videos while (silently) singing at the top of my lungs. i don't know what to say about your work that you haven't heard already. your editing is amazing. you have such a marvelous and consistent eye for aesthetics. and your lyricism⁉️ it's obvious that you have PASSION for the things you create and it's so refreshing to watch!! i just wish there was a way we could see the next lyrics before they're sung, almost karaoke style? if i want to sing along, i have to pull up your docs or look for a comment which takes away from your editing 😭 but that's it for sure. keep doing what you do!! you're fantastic!!!! ❤

[@memoriia]

THANK YOU x 1000
Of course I feel very passionate abt my channel because it's such a creative outlet for me, but supportive comments like yours are really what keep me going even when I lose motivation. Your suggestion is noted! I'll have to expirement but what I think I'll do is show multiple lines at once more often, rather than have them appear on screen as they're being said. (idk if that makes sense lol)

[@NMIXX_MyImpetus]

This is so incredible! Might just be my favourite English rewrite I’ve ever seen ❤

[@BlessingRose]

I loooooove it!!! Your lyrics never ever fail to impress 😁👍❤️

[@natysworld143]

THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT.I KNOW YOU ARE TALENTED

[@revechae]

im so obsessed with your lyrics in each video. love the content!

OMGGG THIS IS PERFECT

[@calling.moon.twelve]

Do you ever take requests? I like to write English versions of Kpop songs for fun sometimes but I get stuck pretty often so I just have a graveyard of partial English versions of a bunch of songs in my notes app lol like Aespa Black Mamba, Red Velvet Sunny Side Up, and IU Flu. I'd really love to see you do full versions of those! I really appreciate how well you can match the rhythm of the original lyrics while still keeping similar meaning bc it's definitely not easy!

[@ainnafami5191]

We're in the same boat. Hopefully memoriia could help us!! Hehe >

[@memoriia]

I used to be like that toooo omg. dozens of half finished rewrites in my notes app. It took me so long to realize the best way to go is finish the first draft (even if there's like 2 or three lines missing), not look at the document for at least two days, and then come back to it with a fresh mind. I promise it helps me come up with so many ideas and improvements.
As for your question: I do not take requests simply bc I get so many... But I definitely keep count of songs that are requested by many of my viewers

[@walkingbeigeflag]

ur so creative i cant cope rate how u do this😭😭

[@yoonwave]

I always like your thumbnails they're very creative.

[@jagiyaforsannie]
