i always wince internally when i hear people say that they've found their sound with emo/punk/rock, because i am 100% sure that the next comeback will be something different :'D i, personally, am okay with it. they do fit this genre a lot, but i bet it'll be a couple of albums before they come back to it. chaos chapter is over now, so minisode2 (probably??) will be something brighter, but who knows? i do think they will still have pop-rock songs as b-sides in their future projects. but i loved this era a lot! i will miss it!
Well said💕 I still haven't moved on from tdc: star😭 they're growing too fast, I'm so proud of them✨
yeah, I'm like, 99% sure they will flip the genre and concept, but we'll love it anyway because they fit everything
Yes! I'll miss this best era a lot:"
Im pretty the sure the switch will be just as dramatic next comeback and Im here for it. I just hope they still have a rock track in their future albums.
Yo same 😂 I either wince or roll my eyes and sigh.
I'm starting to get more and more into TXT I'm just really loving their rock sound
sameeeee
lovesong and loser=lover made me a moa!! they're incredibly talented and their personalities are golden
@@thursdayschildhasfartogo All of their songs are the best tbh 😫
@@ttaehyoung lowkey i've been obsessed with their discography ever since i listened to tcc freeze.. minisode had no right being that good
@@thursdayschildhasfartogo minisode is so good!! i was really surprised by the nostalgic sounds of ghosting and wishlist
THIS IS LIKE BEOMGYU ERA?? AND TAEHYUN'S AND SOOBIN'S RASPY VOICE IS MY EVERYTHING, YEONJUN'S RAP AND HUENINGKAI'S VISUAL TOO 😫😫😫 TXT BEST ARTIST
so TRUE beomgyu era
True. Yeonjun is my bias but beomgyu is really testing me rn. FML
Agree with you 100%
Yasss agree :'))
Uh u forget Yeonjun uhh
The thing about it being a prequel makes so much sense, because *according to twitter theory deep divers" The cast Taehyun has, happened during loser lover, and then continued on to Lovesong. Here is the thing tho, they literally drive off a cliff, and at the end of Lovesong, Yeonjun is all alone, and fans speculated that Yeonjun was wearing a hospital wristband. In conclusion, Yeonjun didn't die this era, but everyone else did. :)
WAIT WHAT
was it a hospital wristband tho? i thought someone zoomed in on it and it turned out to be for concerts or something
@@bruh-ok5ks I feel like it could be interpreted in many ways, but I found that this would make the most sense between the storyline of the MV's. Yeonjun seems to be in the center of the action if you know what I mean.
@Abraxas I'm honestly so confused about it, I just believe what makes the most sense
@Abraxas The car being destroyed does make a lot more sense tho
The rock sound suits them so well. And let's talk about Huening Kai and Taehyun's raspy voices. Like sir. These boys have embraced evry concept they have done, eaten it up and left no crumbs. But personally the chaos chapter concept was my favourite concept they've done, including the sound for the title tracks
Yesssss omg people need to talk about Hueningkai and Taehyun’s vocals more!!! They seriously are out here absolutely carrying every single chorus consistently for like 90% of Txt’s songs and people don’t talk about them enough, especially more recently with their raspy vocals. Taehyun has been getting more appreciation but Kai seriously needs to be recognised for his versatility as well, both of them are so good, dare I say the best in the group, at conveying emotions through their vocals and they do it in such a different way that complements each other so well. They seriously are one of the best vocal duos and deserve so much better. People really don’t realise how well they sing and the growth they have shown.
@@periodtperiodt7840 those boys really deserve more recognition 😭
I agree!
I agree people need to talk about them more
I agree they are underappreciated and it makes me mad and sad at the same time.
Like ,yes Yeojun ,Beomgyu and Soobin are good looking, talented and have good stage presence.
But why don't yall appreciate the vocal prodigies , Taehyun and Kai?
They are also good looking as hell and talented 😭✋.
Info for PD, the scene where they are on top of a "truck" the background is not CGI is a Led panel just like The Mandalorian
yeah! I was honestly surprised when I saw it in the behind the scenes
@@irene-anne3306 me too, tae keep on saying " It's really expensive" and such, the team did a amazing job on that background
OOO THAT SICK
I hope people who start loving TXT bc of this genre will still love them after this era, bc TXT doesn't have permanent genre, they love experimenting and exploring different music, cus they know there's a lot more to show. check their other albums to, they're all NO SKIP discography. 😊
I am one of the new MOAs who was attracted to the rock facet (because I love rock and metal deeply) but for that reason I allowed myself to discover more about their music and I discovered that NO, it is not only this genre, no matter what they do, they always find ways to make deep music, lyrics and MVs and, at least for me, I am sure that whatever they do It will always be equally great and I will always want to discover more of them, I will not abandon TXT
I'm a new MOA, but, it's okay if they exploring different music. Because i believe they'll kill it. Their songs from debut until now always so good
Exactly yeah!
Honestly I love TXT’s musical direction, they literally are constantly getting better and doing new things. I love this sound for them and I hope that they will continue to use it in the future.
These past two TT have made me love Taehyun’s voice so much more. And have made me love TXT in general so much more.
"I will never get used to this opening"
I have the exact same thought everytime 😂😂😂😂 the old one was so nice, they should've just kept it and maybe changed the text a little bit to fit the company as it is now but I just miss the bubble sound😭😭
yeah i miss ''music and artist for healing'' :(
@@evelinramosmiranda619 now it's music and artist for money 😭🤡
txt seriously have it all. they’re the fourth gen it boys, and i love how they constantly experiment with their sound. i’m so excited to see how they continue to evolve!
There's a girl, but it also places the audience in place of the girl. The way they cut it makes it seem like the boys are interacting with each other, but they're in different settings. I thought Soobin was sitting across Yeonjun at the diner, because of the white top, but I'd have to rewatch.
yeah also there is a part where you can see that yeonjun is arguing with the girl on the car and then they show yeonjun with the boys throwing the money away, so i guess at the end they are together and left the ''girls'', but idk they also said the girls represent moa
@@evelinramosmiranda619 yeah, I think at the end they found that they needed each other more
@@m.centuries6027 bros before hoes i guess lol
I don't think that they'll hold onto this concept for title tracks much longer (even though they might get back to it) but it's totally fine because even now, their B-sides are incredibly versatile. That's what they've always been. So even if their next comeback is bright sounding, I do think that they'll have some pop rock B-sides.
TXT’s been killing it this year. They honestly do not have any bad title tracks and they keep getting better every comeback.
I love the alternative pop rock vibe with the insertion of Yeonjun’s rap
Idk what spell did "I know I love you" cast on me, I instantly started falling in love with TXT's discography. LO$ER= LOVER was the perfect song for this repackage album. As you asked us about our thoughts regarding the same genre/theme that TXT went for this time, I AM NOT MAD AT ALL!!! I think I am finally seeing TXT in a new light and I think this concept really suits them the most
You're pretty much the only person doing these deep dives into MVs. You're very appreciated in this sea of shallowness, greed and clout.
I just love everything TXT is doing in this last comebacks, like this rock vibe fits them soooo well and I'm so obsessed
this song is just amazing, txt comebacks never disappoint
also they are wearing skirts for the performances this comeback and they look so amazing in them 💖
Which just goes to show good styles always come back around, punk/goth boys wore stuff like that in the 80's 😁
TXT is setting the standard, they are just becoming the first at everything they do and I’m loving it
i just gotta say i adore Beomgyu’s emo hair so much
FINALLY!
I've been waiting for PD's reaction ever since the song was released.
Now let's see what he has to say about this MASTERPIECE!
i luv txt so much before i knew it.. i became a moa out of nowhere
I feel like bight has planned for this group to portray the evolution from boyhood to manhood. I couldn't really get into their earlier songs because it's quite 'young', whereas I'm quite old. I did love the quality of the sound tho, so I was eagerly on the lookout for their next evolution. So glad I was paying attention because IKILY floored me completely. And then listening to that whole album in my bed as the sun was rising sealed the deal for me. With this song, when I'm not listening to it it plays in my head basically all day, every day
The prechorus just hits different
this is the last page of The Chaos Chapter and the next album will be Minisode2 and I'm pretty sure it'll be a different genre cuz y'all know TXT doesn't focus on the same genre every comeback and I will wait for them to comeback soon.
They were born for this kind of concept and genre, I love both of the songs, can't choose hahaha
I have to say like... a lot of people are saying this is their 'sound' but can I remind everyone that New Rules was in the minialbum and that's VERY TXT? I don't think they're just gonna stick to emo at all, but I do love this era ngl
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying they’ll probably not come back to this style for a while, but in my opinion this is some of the most they’ve worked on the songs themselves so I think this is a taste of what they want to do themselves as musicians. Up until blue hour it’s been mostly pop but now it’s taken a different turn so I think they’ll continue to try out many different genres and maybe stick around a few they like personally and I think rock is one of them.
When you realize being emo was never a phase.
Every TXT comeback just gets better.
I think Lovesong and LoserLover are the perfect combo, they flow so well with each other, the songs and mvs are connected, so I really love that they leaned into the concept a little more for the repackage. The Chaos Chapter had only two parts and the way they compliment each other, it's perfect. I can't say anything more than that lol it's just so pleasing to listen to them back to back < 3 I'm sure their next comeback will be something different because txt is a box full of surprises, but I'm also sure they fit every concept so I can't wait for what else they have in store for us ^^
They already are together PD. This is all happening after their going to school era which is shown before where they are always in school in previous mvs. They all are leading their life in different forms and come together at the end to go to magic island not to drop off a cliff. But yes it can be interpreted as dropping off a cliff too tho.
here is my undeveloped theory: loser lover is the prequel as we all know. this is where they are experiencing hardships and feeling the need to run away from their life. they desperately need some form of escape. that is where lovesong comes in. in lovesong they are describing finding an escape from reality. you want to stay in that false reality because of how much you hate your life, you never want to leave that safe place that you've created for yourself. but when you lose yourself in that dream you can no longer function in your actual reality. now this is where i talk about blue hour. i think blue hour is the expectation where lovesong is the reality. blue hour, to my understanding, is about wanting to stay in that perfect moment with your friends. the mv is full of saturated colors and looks like a dream. but in the end it is telling the same story that lovesong is. about escaping from reality. so what the boys(txt) are seeing in the dream they've created is blue hour. but what is actually happening is what we, the audience, is seeing in lovesong. i don't know if this makes sense. in the last scene of loser lover the car drives off a cliff, referencing yeonjun's previous lyric about wanting to jump and spread your wings. i think this is a metaphor for the boys finally escaping to their fake reality where they can be free. the colors turn extremely saturated and it looks like a dream which is why them driving off of a cliff is leading to blue hour. this is where they can be together and be alright. but like i said, this doesn't last. the longer you spend in your false reality, the more you lose yourself. i hope i explained it well. their lyrics to no rules also support my theory.
Loser=Lover has completely grown on me! I find that interesting because my favorite song before this cb was Run Away. The fan chant is also just really fun for this song. Theory wise I've seen a lot of MOA speculate that Yeonjun is just daydreaming/hallucinating the other boys and running through memories they have and stories they've told him. Take that for what you will. I also still haven't gotten use to the new intro so there's that >.
I don’t think Txt will be keeping this rock/emo concept for their next comeback. They only did the same sound again because it was related to 0X1=LoveSong as its a repackage of that album thats what I think anways. I HAVE LOVED THESE COMEBACKS SO MUCH THO!
“I will never outgrow that phase” SAME omg
I am just obsessed with this song.
Even without a music video, this song is 10/10 for me.
The chorus, and the pre-chorus building part just hit different in this song. I loved it.
Taehyun and HK partnering in choruses will always be my favourite thing. Like hello Lovesong, Loser=Lover and Dear Sputnik 😍
Man I'm loving the reactions we're getting today 😂 they were some of the best that were released in this while.
I never liked TXT until this song. It's a hit!! I love it!! This song should win awards!
Their latest album truly deserves a daesang
This song literally made me become kpop fan and i'm a hardcore moa now, seriously lol
And My brother who doesnt listens to kpop even admitted that he like this song.
“actor beomgyu” YESSS WE LOVE TO SEE IT
as a german this kinda reminds me of Tokio Hotel a band that was especially popular in ~2008 :D haha
dang, i miss them already! they're one of my favorite bands!
@@jrmy__ Ich muss durch den Monsun~~
I really love this song, this is a stadium song like it's meant to be sung by the crowd
I think this song fit Beomgyu's voice so much!
this is literally my favourite kpop song ever
"Actor beomgyu" YESS PLEASE
Ahh you really need to listen to Frost by them literally the def of rasping in that song
I think he said they did an album listen on his patreon.
The thumbnail looks stunning . Looks like some fanedit .
YESS thank u for noticing beomgyu got more lines! so proud of him finally getting what he deserves!
This song is so addictive . This rock vibe fits TXT so well . A fresh sound from usual KPOP music releases .
Both of their love songs are amazing, as is Anti-romantic. TXT are pushing things forward.
I love this song so much, right now I definitely prefer this one over I know I love you
idk I think the chorus is alot of fun to sing along to and it's stuck in my head all the time
and the outfits oof I love watching their stages
thank u for reacting to this and this is a short analysis of the mv if u wanna read, it relates to 0x1 lovesong!
For LO$ER=LO♡ER, it is a catchy emo pop-punk track that expresses a real-world “loser’s” desire to be a hero and “lover” to his one-and-only. He may have failed in the eyes of the world, but ‘you’ awaken his courage to take his fate into his own hands (hence there is a lot of POV shots). This was from Twitter btw! Also, a lot of moas theorize that this mv was before 0x1 lovesong because this mv showed taehyun’s cast with the V being written on it. Basically it showed all of their struggles as a teen and how they wanted to escape the shitty reality, so they drove off the cliff to their so called ‘magic island’ where they can be together forever (basically end their lives 🥲). BUT Yeonjun (the one at the start of the mv with the car) miraculously survived and had to move in with his parents in 0x1 lovesong. The parents were shown arguing bc they didn’t know what to do with Yeonjun. He was also hospitalized hence the hospital bands in 0x1 lovesong (I think both mentally and physically). So, in 0x1 lovesong yeonjun just imagined all of his friends bc he misses them. This is just a theory, but it all makes sense. It’s so deep and greatly represents the darkness and sadness that come with being part of the youth and being a teen. I read somewhere on Twitter “loser lover is the anthem for Gen Z barreling through their youth, as well as those who might fill adult shoes yet walk in the shadows of a youth they could never have”. Props to bighit and txt for doing something like this bc as corny as it fucking sounds I’m glad txt is a big part of my youth.
Also, I know txt will change their concept, it’s txt lol but I love this emo pop rock they’re doing recently. It’s unique and very intriguing.
this is one of the best concepts in kpop
Beomgyu bias wrecked me through this mv like seriously
I have just been introduced to TXT and I am obsessed with this song. I really like that you watch this twice!
this era and sound was what officially made me a fan, i hope they don’t drop it completely 😅
The beginning reminds me of FFXV haha :').
I've never heard TXT and I'm really digging this song!
I was annoyed at first with the swear words (haha, I'm a little conservative). But other than that everything else is really amazing and Beomgyu crying made me cry too haha.
TXT continue to prove how much of amazing artists they are, they have never disappointed and make me so happy to be a fan
This sounds so damn good, I know almost nothing about TXT, but this brings me back to high school days
I was transported back to my teenage years with this song!
Fun fact: the guitar used in the intro was the rolling stones’ guitar
I am not that txt fan but I have to say this is my 2021 fav song .. I think this song is best 2021
pd the emocore mix for 0x1=lovesong is *chef's kiss*
I will never get tired of this sound from them, so I won't be mad if they stick with it
They're really finding their niche and they sound great. Love the clothes and Kai outfit he looks out of this world. I'm loving where they're going with the rock theme. When I saw it I knew you would like it. Great reaction
the thumbnail is so fucking good and powerful✨
I think Beomgyu's character has an isolation trope, like in Drama
agree with you , i love this song because it is nostalgia for me ... my emo days
I love this genre, it fits TXT. I believe they found their sound for this era. When I first heard it my emo heart bursts. I feel like I'm back in highschool again. Rebellious days
I don’t even like the new kpop groups as much but txt is slowly getting to me
TXT is never followed the trends & they set different kinds of music geners I like this type. I'm sry about that TXT ' unique & different kinds of music are not charted high in Korea & don't appreciated much.They deserve more better.
I'm sry I'm not good at Eng.
My fave txt song:
Run Away ➡️ 0X1 ➡️ LOSER LOVER
I feel like txt definitely fkund their sound and its definitely rock like look at run away lovesong and loserlover all this fits their voices so much
run away is not rock but i agree with the other two!
i love this rock sounds theyve had for these two comebacks, but i doubt they’ll continue with it! theyve tried a lot of concepts, and once chaos chapter is over i think theyll try something different once again
@@tamarlevy5949 it had the rock elements
YESSS FINALLY!! I’ve been waiting for your reaction video since TXT comeback😭 【0X1=Lovesong (I Know I Love You)】is a hybrid pop rock song, and 【LO$ER=LO♡ER】is an emo pop-punk song. Really good tracks with meaningful stories and concepts behind. TXT improves every time. TXT comeback never disappoints me😭🥰🖤
i can't even choose between i know i love you and loser lover :"D
this is TXT best era SO FAR ㅠㅠ
I Will never forget about their rock sound eras
I love this era so much for them, they just feel really at home for me in this genre idk
I personally like loser = lover a little more, bc it’s more energetic but both songs are amazing tbh
TXT just keeps impressing me everytime. Rookie kings 🥰
Me too ill never grown from that fase emo, and this music bring all that feeling from being emo, reminds me a lot from Peter Punk
I completely agree with PD in that I will never get used to the new BigHit intro sound. After hearing that bubbly one since 2018, I like it a lot more than this one but I guess I can’t do anything bout it
this type of sound fits them so well
I'm enjoying this emo rock era of TXT so much, I also will never outgrow my emo phase lmao.
You already know them and you know their names all wow
I watched a lot of TO DO TXT and TALK X TODAY since the last mv haha I really like Beomgyu
@@formoftherapy ohh thank you so much
You are so cute
And me I really like BEOMGYU SO MUCH😭💙
Maybe they are trying to come back to magic island?
In animation they were kids playing together and they imaginate magic and even played with it. During The Dream Chapter they were students full of passion and with dreams. They were young so "door" to better world was open for them, because as kids we belive in fairies and all magical stuff.
But then reality hit us as teenagers and young adults... We need to work, so we lose time which we could spend during school days with friends.
What if they try to make through the "door" to magic world? Like old bulding we saw in many things (before performance on cb show, that short scene when it was in black and white and in I know I love you) might have also be like "doors" or at least place were you can go for better world.
Also that 'flying' car... it's somehow looks similar to that flying train in "Magic Island".
It's probably them trying to break from this harsh reality and come back to magic days?
yeonjun wrote his own rap too !
I am obsessed with all your thumbnails they are so beautiful 😭🖐🏼
this song and "lovesong" reminds me of BTS "run" and "i need you" in the sense of young adult teen pain sadness but i love it . really different sounds but same vibe
This pop rock vibe that they have been doing recently suits them the most out of all the genres they've done. I definitely liked 0X1=LOVESONG better but only because the rock sound is more prominent in it. They can pull off so many concepts but this one is my favorite.
Knowing TXT they'll change it up in the next CB. Probably something brighter, but I hope the next dark theme is Metal.
3:46 yes so glad that finally Beomgyu got more lines for this title track.
OHMYGOD Taehyun, Yeonjun, Hyuka, Soobin ... Wow wow wow wow don't you love it when their vocals are do unique but they blend in together so perfectly?!
As much as I love their rock sound I know that they'll surprise us with a totally different genre next comeback and they'll continue to rock it as always 💙
THIS 👏 TXT 👏 ERA 👏 IS 👏 SUPERIOR 👏
this song is seriously so good
Tbh the song reminded me of Bulletproof Heart by MCR (I LOVE MCR so it's definitely a compliment) and the platform in the mv reminded me of Welcome to The Black Parade and the separate storylines reminded me of Run and I Need U by BTS. It's like a mashup I didn't know would work so well but IT DOES
Firstly, thanks for reacting to this PD! Second, I like that they stayed with the same genre of music because it will distinguish the Chaos Chapter as a whole from the other eras. This is their rebel/angst phase and the music fits that really well. I like both title tracks equally it just depends on how I feel at the moment. LOSER=LOVER speaks to my emo self while 0x1=LOVESONG gets the heart-wrenching feelings out.
Im considering stanning TXT after hearing I know I love you and now hearing Loser x Lover, I gotta really start stanning. Def one of my fav releases this year 🥺💕
thank u for reacting to this and this is a short analysis of the mv if u wanna read, it relates to 0x1 lovesong btw! (tw // suicide)
LO$ER=LO♡ER is a catchy emo pop-punk track that expresses a real-world “loser’s” desire to be a hero and “lover” to his one-and-only.

I know txt will change their concept, it’s txt lol but I love this emo pop rock they’re doing recently. It’s unique and very intriguing. They will probably go back to a brighter genre next (minisode2? I’m guessing) but they’ll probably blow us away again. I hope they will still add some pop rock bsides tho cos I’m still a little bit biased 😅
