Yeah. Anything I listed as a trailer, or teaser is just that. Trailers for albums, teasers for songs. They give so much context to the story line songs. And as I said, there are some songs that aren't completely part of the story, but they fit in & add just that much more. When I fist became a Stay. I decided to go album by album from the beginning. I enjoyed my journey, and found the story along the way. So. I made that list. I hope it helps. The I Am Not trailer is very interesting. Not only is it calling out the K-Pop industry for it's hypocrisy of saying every group is different & then punishing the groups who actually are, but it's doing the same to society as a whole. You saw Woojin at the tablet typing all the things he is supposed to be, what is expected of him by teachers, parents, governments. And he left the last one blank. You see Felix on the roof practicing dancing in front of mirrors. When he realizes the reflection he sees isn't real, it breaks. Because what's reflected in a mirror isn't quite what is really there. You see Seungmin in a room painting a picture that is copied many times before. Then he realizes that it is just going to be repeated to infinity of sameness, and he strikes a line through the painting to make it individual. You see Lee Know approach a board with, as you said, nonsense scrawled across it. He writes that he isn't & leaves. He isn't partaking in nonsense. You see Changbin in a room of tvs looking at his own smiling face. It looks forced & nothing like how he feels. So he covers his eyes & the room disappears. You see Hyunjin in a VR class learning something from a faceless teacher. Every time he tries to see who is teaching him there are more & more faceless teachers teaching the same thing, so he removes himself from the headset. You see Han in a spotlight seemingly worshiped by masses of people in front of him. Then he realizes that they are not actually paying him any attention. They are focused on the shadow he casts. So he turns his back on them. You see I.N on a bus & when they pull up to a stop, he sees himself sitting there. This startles him & he gets off the bus. (This is actually important. It's the first GLITCH that happens & sets them in motion) You see Bang Chan in the beginning in a crowd of people, then he sees the glitch in the sky & it makes him realize there is something more. Something out there, just beyond what was handed to him & told this is what is. So he stops. The others stop with him. And then we start the story. It is a story of self discovery, growth, doubts, fears, and friendship. There are so many songs that don't fit in the story line, but are worth checking out. You will be finding songs, and versions of songs for a long time.
Thank you Stay Golyenhighway for this well written explanation of the storyline. I have wondered about how they all were able to "glitch" out of the "norm" and needing to have these same questions answered, baby-stay Pierre, slowed things down where I could understand. Your insights are the cherry on this sundae. I hope you are keeping track of the info for the SKZ Library that should be written lol.. I would join your bookclub also.
Thank you for this detailed explanation! I still consider myself a babystay (6 months old), and have not yet watched every trailer and album song in full and in order. I've read bits, pieces, summaries and theories about the lore here and there but still feel like I barely scratched the surface. Your analysis of the trailer is very in depth and interesting. I'm going to follow this journey with great attention, please keep giving us such precious insight in the further videos, they are just like your username, Golden!
@@sibylline7220 Thanks. I'll try to drop any info I can. I enjoy sharing anything I find. And I watch a lot of stuff, so I learn more from others. I will say that the glitches last up till Gods Menu. So anytime a vid drops, I can expand more on the lore I have found. I will definitely pass on the things I find for everyone here. I don't want to say too much right now for fear of spoiling stuff.
Oh damn... that is awesome. I saw how the members all had their moments and got most of them right, so that actually make me happy about my brain not yet being fried... The whole concept is cool. thanks for the explanation, and for the list in the first place!
It is a true joy to watch your Stray Kids journey begin. All of the KZS have unique mindsets and intelligence in their lyrics (3racha are genius'). There's also often a reference to their old songs in the new ones. I'm an older Stay who found these young men at a dark time in my life and I'm grateful to them and my fellow Stay for all the joy given to this terribly dark world. Thank you for reacting to them in the first place and I can't wait to see your reactions in the future.
Stray Kids storyline is amazing it lived up to their name Stray Kids, they are lost kids trying to fine the meaning of life being different from others and breaking barriers, the progress of their songs that are about finding their real self to being more confident but still in the process of understanding themselves while showing the real you is something I've always admire with Stray Kids. Their older songs is all about their youth , their experiences, their journey and them dealing with pains/struggles growing up. Now their songs are them being more confident and sure of themselves and not caring for what haters says about them and giving inspiration to their fans that hard work pays off. That is how I interpret their storyline but I am glad you come across that comment about their storyline because your journey will be even more meaningful watching them grow. Can't wait for more Stray Kids and enjoy your journey. 😁
Love your SKZ reactions! I love how you really paid attention to the meanings behind the songs! You can see that they already have the phrase “Stray Kids everywhere all around the world” in their debut song, calling out to everyone who feels astray or those who don’t fit it. These boys are so talented and so original. Will follow your journey to discover them!
few hours ago i discovered your reaction to the guide of skz, then i searched your others reactions to skz, i was just finishing the venom reaction and was about to watch the social path reaction but then this video appeared, i think it was a funny coincidence :) love your reactions btw!! it's cool to see that your starting to know them from the start
Hello! I think it's great to see you following SKZ's journey from the beginning. Makes a lot more sense that way, right? My journey with SKZ is simple. Our first date was in Hellevator and I was very interested. Then District 9 and from there it's a one way street! We are still together and will remain so for a long, long time. Thanks for reaction.
Quite a few of their albums have concept trailers, some even have a short and a main trailer. I highly recommend watching them before the album tracks they go to. They just add another layer of depth to the whole world SKZ has created ❤
stray kids is the first ever group i stan after being passive listener of kpop for years. after knowing their debut song/ lore, it all makes sense. they’re just different, their music is deemed not fitting the kpop industry and i can see why.
So I'm going to expain the skz verse (storyline) for I am not album; This album is about not fitting in in society/not wanting to fit in, there each member show an example, in the end they all realize how fake the world is, lifting the hood is in general often used in skz as a meaning of finding out. And they look at the camera while the rest walks away. In district 9 you can see them run away from the 'base' to find themself's and that's what is happening In 'I am who' and 'I am you' album after this. + there is so much theories about this album that don't fit in here, like jeongin seeing his clone (skz verse is ALOT about clones) If you listen about most of the lyrics in their songs it's often about not fitting in, mental health and society and their wrong doings and that stuff (It's VERY taboo in korea that's why skz have more interantional fans) Anyways let me explain *Stray kids everywhere all around the world* and why stay don't like then other groups use it, it ofc have the meaning of stray kids being popular all around the world, but there is a deeper message, Stray kids also means lost child/lost kids, one of the reasons why stray kids was formed was bcz they 'wanted to be the voice for all ppl around the world that was battling with society,mental health and standards' So 'stray kids everywhere all around the world' also means this songs is for every lost kid around the world. It's such a pretty message I acually recommend you to check out skz verse, its prob the most confusing but intresting lore I ever seen in kpop! Skzvintage made booth a mini series of skz verse but also a video called #lovestay that's about skz love for stay
I'm so in with you on your journey. Since I haven't watched the video following the story line I'm happy you're doing this and love your reactions. And your followers are an Encyclopedia on their own, so cherry on the cake!!
Love that you started with the trailer!! SKZ have so of the greatest trailers out there IMO, and should broaden into making movies haha. I'd watch it! Maybe after you get done with an 'album' and if there is one - watch some of their INTRO videos (I don't recall if there is one for every single album) but it's awesome to just hear them talk about their music, their thoughts of the songs and the creative process.
Stray kids always are so thoughtful and creative. If you like to know more of how they creat their albums, you may also check out their “Intro” videos before they release a new album. Here is an example of the intro video before they release their newest album “5-Star”, th-cam.com/video/iNPgj-ZJql8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QXjlASd9M8d56DhS I just love watching them all being serious and professional about music!!
Love it and now you know why a lot of us love them because they’ve never been afraid like others in kpop to speak out , they let a lot of people know they are not alone, that they know how many feel and that it’s okay!!
Shay Shay Shay, yea, I guess now I know. It sure is amazing to see how deep they went from the beginning on. (I can't help but every time I read your name I hear Itzy's now song Cake in my head and the chorus where the word cake is repeated.... but in my head its shay shay shay shaaay. lol I'm officially going nuts now)
I really love that you are trying to understand this universe our boys created. The analyses are so nice to watch, and you just started. I'm not intro is the intro song of the Album I'm not... there is a trilogy ( I'm not, I'm eho, I'm you). District 9 is one of the most meaningful songs for me. And that's exactly why I included the for me most meaningful lyric line in my stray kids tattoo: 나도 나를 잘 모르는데 왜 네가 나를 아는 듯이 말해 Translation: Why are you talking like you know me? Though I don't even know myself And the rap part at the 2nd verse of Han and Changbin is EEEEEPIC!! I really love your reactions sooooo much... and it's even better cause we are probably at the same age range 🤗
@@NeonReactionsPierre ja ,können wir. Es fühlt sich für mich nor so merkwürdig an Kommentar in deutsch zu schreiben 🤣 Aber ich bin schon soooooo gespannt was du zu meinen all-time favourites sahen wurst, wenn wir dort angelangt sind. Like: chronosaurus, victory song, cheese, double knot etc
OMG love your reaction. It's been a minute since I actually watched these 2 videos. I just realized how good these 2 compliment their new song Social Path. That's just another example at how extremely talented they are. Something that they do quite often is make trailers and teasers for their Albums and songs.
Really enjoy following your SKZ journey. And like the musical insights you give, I didn’t even notice some of those musical elements until you pointed them out. Makes the song all new again.
"Am I looking too far into this?" Five years into the Broken Compass Storyline and we still haven't found all the answers, so no, you're not looking too far, you're actually just scratching the surface. Welcome to the madness. Look for the Map of the Broken Compass, that's a drawing they did with secret codes that shows the travel route of the "I AM" and "Clé" trilogies. That's the beginning of the journey.
😁you are welcome ... There's more: All in Miroh All gone Side effect Give me your TMI All night Stray Kids allways have double meaning Titles to their Songs.
I am so glad they persevered with the vision of what they want to become. It was not easy (still not) because I don't think Kpop in general and Korean listeners were ready for their type of sounds. Based on their sounds, they may not be charting very well like others (referring to Korean chart). Their aim is to be here for a long haul on their term.
You're one of my favorite male youtubers who react to SKZ. I've been watching your reactions to SKZ since your first video. I love watching your journey to knowing them. I can see how excited you get about them because your eyes always light up when you watch them :D And as you said, when you know the meaning of the songs, everything makes more sense and more depth. Thank you and i'm looking forward to next reaction :)

Tiger JK) - DLC - Collision - FNF - Youtiful - The Sound - Mixtape : Time Out 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for your appreciation in all the skz universe, you are great, "I'm not" is the name of they're first album so that's what was the trailer about, but you get it right I think the message is accurate, they came from a tv show but were different from the beginning, there were and I think still are, an stigma around them just for that fact, some people think that they are where they are, and that they have achieved so much because of JYP 😑😑😑 Can't wait for keep joining you in your skz discovering journey, again thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
I love your reaction so much. Some details I never find out one. Stray Kids world is incredible. Welcome and you won’t feel boring to check their MVs. Their lyric their Idea and choreography won’t disappoint us 😊
Thank you for this. Even though I have seen/hear (love) a lot of the early SKZ MVs/songs, the storyline has been a little confusing. Since you are willing to fall further down the rabbit hole, I will be following right behind you. And I know... hang on, it will be bumpy ride.
I'm so glad you reacted to this! :D The "I AM NOT" album as a whole is one of my favorites from them, and I really recommend listening to it fully. It's a very coherent album about self-discovery & finding your true self, not letting others define you. And the songs are all gems imo. "Mirror" in particular is a very deep song, Changbin explained he bought a whole book to explore the album's concept in a more philosophical matter, and that reflects through "Mirror". It has an MV too! "3rd eye" has got to be one of the most experimental and philosophical songs Stray Kids has done. Actually, I would argue one of the most unique songs in kpop! Sadly it has no MV. "Rock" is a very fun song! :) It also has what we call a "Street version" video, which means Stray Kids went ON THE STREETS in public to film an "mv" themselves! These tend to be silly and fun music videos for the songs! You also get to see their personalities shine in these street videos! xd "Awaken" is AJJDJJFJFJIGKGOGO One of my fav Stray Kids songs, it's so hype and it's ROCK. What else can I ask for? It doesn't have an mv tho! "Grow up" is a comfort song in the fandom, and very meaningful. I love it so much! It has a music video too!
I hope you keep following the storyline! The I Am is just the prologue. The cle series part of the story hit me, personally, hard, especially the yellow wood chapter. I was actually in tears. The youtuber bookishtheories breaks down the stories and symbols and branches really well (but I suggest watching bt after you make your own interpretations of the videos/storylines). social path seems to still be a continuation of this storyline too, so it will just keep evolving😅
I really hope you watch the B-side MVs of the albums too, there are so many gems on every album! Well, and the songs without MVs too, like for example we had 3rd eye, one of their most experimental songs!
"How can I be more all in than all in?" Okay, so after saying that, you really need to react to the song "All In" now 😂😂 It's one of their Japanese tracks, and one of my favorite SKZ songs. The video is great, as well.
@NeonReactionsPierre You will never regret the Stray Kids journey. It blows my mind their level of creative genius and that it started when they were so young. Their insight & story telling abilities are bar none. I don't think Stays pushed you into the rabbit hole, I prefer to refer to it as a nudge. One that you were meant to experience because you would appreciate them.😊
I am not is the name of the album. Trailer is what it's named, a trailer die rhe album. And the trailers contribute to the story a lot. They are not songs, but the music is all instrumental bit and pieces from the album's songs.
Before every album they release something called "Intro" like in this case -> Stray Kids [INTRO: I am NOT]. this videos are a Wonderfull insight into how they created the songs and the thoughts that went into them.
some of the videos, lyrics, japanese songs and videos, live performances some of Bang Chan's Vilves have things to do with the storyline and a lot of people still haven't figured it all out so good luck :)
Skz has timeless and layered lyricism for the real world plus MV exclusive skzlore to them. This is especially true when there's a new release and it calls back to their past song, depending on how you interpret them. This is why there are alot of skzlore focused stays with varying interpretations and overlaps like clones, dimensions, roles, and whatnot. Like you've watched Social Path and the first thing in my head was THIS intro teaser, as well as their origins coz both were related to their trainee days. Except social path has a resolute tone to it, hence, "call it the social path" unlike being a "glitch" where theyve just AWAKEN (ahem, skz song title too) from the system. 6:27 MIRROR is also a song of theirs haha 17:56 ALL IN is also a song of theirs 😂
Sorry for a long post. I just get excited to share sometimes. I've only just come across your content for Stray Kids today. Having only just come to know them in the last few months myself, I'm still on my journey to Stay-dom lol However, one of my favorite things I found was the storyline they created with the following song list: 1. On Track 2. B Me (there no official MV but they have a "making of" or something in their youtube page) 3. Oh 4. The View I'm not sure if it's been continued yet in the newest music so I'll have to keep searching but.... it's a fun one that is very much told in the MVs more than the lyrics. Additionally, I personally think Venom and Case 143 are in a storyline too. In the MV for Venom, you can see the carpet in a few shots is the same as the one in Case 143's MV. They are both about a deep connect/obsessional love/overwhelming emotions. I'm looking for more signs that they are also connected to any other songs. Separately, Lavanter is one song that hit the heartstrings due to it's Hellevator connection but it also is one of my all time favorites because it felt like the biggest step forward for them as the 8 instead of the 9 members. I'll continue to binge your Stray Kids reactions as I'm very much invested in watching others get the happiness I now get from their content/music. Good luck on your journey, and thanks for sharing it with us Stays!! 😊
they debuted telling everyone they're different and that's not a bad thing, that they're not your average cookie cutter kpop group (they've been know for making "noise" instead of music) and thus they became popular everywhere except in Korea, they didn't like them because their strong and different sounds, as you can hear they do many genres. Nowadays they gained popularity in Korea too but not as big as they're internationally, and with all that they've been breaking records over and over for the past 6 years! you're in for a ride, they are GOOD QUALITY ✨
Im late to the party, and know you have more recent videos, but i hope others have told you that if you follow the music videos, basically chronologically (not always), a large amount all tie into each other and tell stories. It has turned into a whole multi-univers... or should i say 'megaverse'... hence their song Megaverse.😅
If you follow my stray kids videos in chronological order you will see that I followed a storyline provided by one of my viewers. Here and there I threw in some sidesteps because of various reasons... thanks for being here.
And what’s for all the red element il they’re lvl. Specially in social path. The red pill, or red door, the red is some kind of thing they keep reaching for. Is it they’re salvation, they’re rebellion…I’m still trying to figure out. And look up the meaning of the blue light in thunderous. They also have a meaning in Korean culture
I’m wondering if you’ll also be listening to early songs. I think Mirror from I am Not will be one of my top 5 songs always. Their early songs are as good as the recent ones!
They were always critiziced in Korea, I think still to this day, because they want to be a kpop group that is different from others.... they labeled their music in Korea as "noise music"... because their music as you have heard, has many different sounds not typically used, for example the sirens they use in the background. Especially since they write and produce their own music 98% of the time.. So, as you will find out in new music such as God's menu, Thunderous, or Cheese... they pretty much tell the haters "we dont care" ... in God's menu you can see them in a construction site, doing experiments in lab coats... they're basically saying we do our own music, we construct, experiment, we don't care what you think of us, this is how we are. That's why I like skz (actually the first kpop group i ended up listening to) because even with all that criticism, they stepped forward, did their own thing, and now they are globally known and admired ❤ so yeah as someone else already said, they were experimenting different styles of music until they found their unique sound, so some old songs will be all over the place haha comparing to their new music😅 anyways i hope i made sense english is my second language.... i'm thrilled to see your journey on falling in love with skz :)
@@NeonReactionsPierre it's actually created from Bang Chan, the leader of Stray Kids. It happened very randomly and he said this will be their logo. The company loved it, as far as i know. Thank you for the reactions and welcome to the rabbit hole of Stayville!
And this was their DEBUT, when several of them were still teenagers. Can you imagine the impression they made????
🤯🤯
their lyrics at first glance seem simple but once you really pay attention you realize how thoughtful, relevant, and relatable their lyrics are and the music video + beats always reflect and match the lyrics perfectly. this is the difference between a self-made group and how personal their lyrics are
Yea, its really a full package in every way
+ the wordplays and poetry
that time this concept was literally not acceptable in korea, there’s the reason why they’re first of all has very big fan base internationally, compared to k-fan. so comebacks after comebacks theyre gained many fans in Korea also internationally, now they’re big global boy group along with bts. so proud of them❤
The story line ends at
‟ _levanter_ ˮ ६ their official start to who 𐌔𐊋𐤉 are since they became OT8 is represented by
‟ _gods menu_ ˮ
Check out their video titled
‟ *Prequel Highlight Reel* ˮ

The I Am Not trailer is very interesting. Not only is it calling out the K-Pop industry for it's hypocrisy of saying every group is different & then punishing the groups who actually are, but it's doing the same to society as a whole. You saw Woojin at the tablet typing all the things he is supposed to be, what is expected of him by teachers, parents, governments. And he left the last one blank. You see Felix on the roof practicing dancing in front of mirrors. When he realizes the reflection he sees isn't real, it breaks. Because what's reflected in a mirror isn't quite what is really there. You see Seungmin in a room painting a picture that is copied many times before.

So I'm going to expain the skz verse (storyline) for I am not album;
This album is about not fitting in in society/not wanting to fit in, there each member show an example, in the end they all realize how fake the world is, lifting the hood is in general often used in skz as a meaning of finding out. And they look at the camera while the rest walks away.
In district 9 you can see them run away from the 'base' to find themself's and that's what is happening In 'I am who' and 'I am you' album after this.
+ there is so much theories about this album that don't fit in here, like jeongin seeing his clone (skz verse is ALOT about clones)
If you listen about most of the lyrics in their songs it's often about not fitting in, mental health and society and their wrong doings and that stuff
(It's VERY taboo in korea that's why skz have more interantional fans)
Anyways let me explain *Stray kids everywhere all around the world* and why stay don't like then other groups use it, it ofc have the meaning of stray kids being popular all around the world, but there is a deeper message,
Stray kids also means lost child/lost kids, one of the reasons why stray kids was formed was bcz they 'wanted to be the voice for all ppl around the world that was battling with society,mental health and standards' So 'stray kids everywhere all around the world' also means this songs is for every lost kid around the world. It's such a pretty message
I acually recommend you to check out skz verse, its prob the most confusing but intresting lore I ever seen in kpop! Skzvintage made booth a mini series of skz verse but also a video called #lovestay that's about skz love for stay
Thank you that's interesting. I'll have a look
The colour in the straykids logo changes with storyline
I'm so in with you on your journey. Since I haven't watched the video following the story line I'm happy you're doing this and love your reactions. And your followers are an Encyclopedia on their own, so cherry on the cake!!
Thank you so much... I really appreciate that. Yes, it is crazy how much information I am getting here...
I love that you reacted to both the trailer and the MV here. It's so powerful. Still loving your Skz reactions!
Thank you :)
Despite I’ve listened to this song for over 100 times, your interpretation still give me chills!!! Love your reaction!!!
Thank you very much, glad you liked it.
Love that you started with the trailer!! SKZ have so of the greatest trailers out there IMO, and should broaden into making movies haha. I'd watch it! Maybe after you get done with an 'album' and if there is one - watch some of their INTRO videos (I don't recall if there is one for every single album) but it's awesome to just hear them talk about their music, their thoughts of the songs and the creative process.
That sounds good. Thank you
Another great reaction!
Thank youuuuu 💖
Stray kids always are so thoughtful and creative. If you like to know more of how they creat their albums, you may also check out their “Intro” videos before they release a new album. Here is an example of the intro video before they release their newest album “5-Star”, th-cam.com/video/iNPgj-ZJql8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QXjlASd9M8d56DhS I just love watching them all being serious and professional about music!!
Love it and now you know why a lot of us love them because they’ve never been afraid like others in kpop to speak out , they let a lot of people know they are not alone, that they know how many feel and that it’s okay!!
Shay Shay Shay, yea, I guess now I know. It sure is amazing to see how deep they went from the beginning on. (I can't help but every time I read your name I hear Itzy's now song Cake in my head and the chorus where the word cake is repeated.... but in my head its shay shay shay shaaay. lol I'm officially going nuts now)
@@NeonReactionsPierre omg I never thought about that, ugghhh now it’s going to be stuck in my head🤭
@@shayshay7524 hahahah GOT YOU!!!! 😂😂🎂🎂🍰🍰🎂🎂
I really love that you are trying to understand this universe our boys created. The analyses are so nice to watch, and you just started.
I'm not intro is the intro song of the Album I'm not... there is a trilogy ( I'm not, I'm eho, I'm you).
District 9 is one of the most meaningful songs for me. And that's exactly why I included the for me most meaningful lyric line in my stray kids tattoo: 나도 나를 잘 모르는데 왜
네가 나를 아는 듯이 말해
Translation: Why are you talking like you know me?
Though I don't even know myself
And the rap part at the 2nd verse of Han and Changbin is EEEEEPIC!!
I really love your reactions sooooo much... and it's even better cause we are probably at the same age range 🤗
Thank you very much. Yes I remember you from am older comment, you said greetings from austria - right? Dann könnten wir auch deutsch reden oder? haha
@@NeonReactionsPierre ja ,können wir. Es fühlt sich für mich nor so merkwürdig an Kommentar in deutsch zu schreiben 🤣
Aber ich bin schon soooooo gespannt was du zu meinen all-time favourites sahen wurst, wenn wir dort angelangt sind. Like: chronosaurus, victory song, cheese, double knot etc
@@sabs_1108 haha... than lets stick to english :)
OMG love your reaction. It's been a minute since I actually watched these 2 videos. I just realized how good these 2 compliment their new song Social Path. That's just another example at how extremely talented they are. Something that they do quite often is make trailers and teasers for their Albums and songs.
...and I love your comment. Thank you so much!
Awesome that you dissected the trailer thanks I had not looked at the trailer in such detail. ❤
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Really enjoy following your SKZ journey. And like the musical insights you give, I didn’t even notice some of those musical elements until you pointed them out. Makes the song all new again.
Thank you, that really nice to hear. thanks for coming along and being here...
Thx 4 your insight.
You are very welcome :)
"Am I looking too far into this?"
Five years into the Broken Compass Storyline and we still haven't found all the answers, so no, you're not looking too far, you're actually just scratching the surface. Welcome to the madness.
Look for the Map of the Broken Compass, that's a drawing they did with secret codes that shows the travel route of the "I AM" and "Clé" trilogies. That's the beginning of the journey.
This is becoming quite the journey....
The world of Stray Kids' story is like an inverted prism, always pay attention to the I.N
😁you are welcome ...
There's more:
All in
Miroh
All gone
Side effect
Give me your TMI
All night
Stray Kids allways have double meaning Titles to their Songs.
Thank you so much! I never saw this trailer.
I am so glad they persevered with the vision of what they want to become. It was not easy (still not) because I don't think Kpop in general and Korean listeners were ready for their type of sounds. Based on their sounds, they may not be charting very well like others (referring to Korean chart). Their aim is to be here for a long haul on their term.
Its always the underdogs that are there the longest
You're one of my favorite male youtubers who react to SKZ. I've been watching your reactions to SKZ since your first video. I love watching your journey to knowing them. I can see how excited you get about them because your eyes always light up when you watch them :D And as you said, when you know the meaning of the songs, everything makes more sense and more depth. Thank you and i'm looking forward to next reaction :)

Thank you so much for your appreciation in all the skz universe, you are great, "I'm not" is the name of they're first album so that's what was the trailer about, but you get it right I think the message is accurate, they came from a tv show but were different from the beginning, there were and I think still are, an stigma around them just for that fact, some people think that they are where they are, and that they have achieved so much because of JYP 😑😑😑
Can't wait for keep joining you in your skz discovering journey, again thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you very much. They are very talented guys and I like how they think and put those thoughts to paper, music and video.
18:00 they Have a Japanese MV called All In. Listen to o it it’s so good. 😂❤
I will
I love your reaction so much. Some details I never find out one. Stray Kids world is incredible. Welcome and you won’t feel boring to check their MVs. Their lyric their Idea and choreography won’t disappoint us 😊
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
Stray Kids💗
you need to watch all of straykids trailers!!!!! they’re like a movie 😢
Thank you for this. Even though I have seen/hear (love) a lot of the early SKZ MVs/songs, the storyline has been a little confusing. Since you are willing to fall further down the rabbit hole, I will be following right behind you. And I know... hang on, it will be bumpy ride.
Bumpy rides are the spice of a journey...
Thank you! Loved the reaction
Thank YOU!
I'm so glad you reacted to this! :D
The "I AM NOT" album as a whole is one of my favorites from them, and I really recommend listening to it fully. It's a very coherent album about self-discovery & finding your true self, not letting others define you. And the songs are all gems imo.
"Mirror" in particular is a very deep song, Changbin explained he bought a whole book to explore the album's concept in a more philosophical matter, and that reflects through "Mirror". It has an MV too!
"3rd eye" has got to be one of the most experimental and philosophical songs Stray Kids has done. Actually, I would argue one of the most unique songs in kpop! Sadly it has no MV.
"Rock" is a very fun song! :)
It also has what we call a "Street version" video, which means Stray Kids went ON THE STREETS in public to film an "mv" themselves! These tend to be silly and fun music videos for the songs! You also get to see their personalities shine in these street videos! xd
"Awaken" is AJJDJJFJFJIGKGOGO
One of my fav Stray Kids songs, it's so hype and it's ROCK. What else can I ask for? It doesn't have an mv tho!
"Grow up" is a comfort song in the fandom, and very meaningful. I love it so much! It has a music video too!
Thank you, so many many songs....
I hope you keep following the storyline! The I Am is just the prologue. The cle series part of the story hit me, personally, hard, especially the yellow wood chapter. I was actually in tears. The youtuber bookishtheories breaks down the stories and symbols and branches really well (but I suggest watching bt after you make your own interpretations of the videos/storylines). social path seems to still be a continuation of this storyline too, so it will just keep evolving😅
Thank you, oh yes I'm gonna keep following and I will go with the order of the story list I got...
Stray Kids attempts to made their own way, and they did it
I really hope you watch the B-side MVs of the albums too, there are so many gems on every album! Well, and the songs without MVs too, like for example we had 3rd eye, one of their most experimental songs!
I will eventually
"How can I be more all in than all in?"
Okay, so after saying that, you really need to react to the song "All In" now 😂😂 It's one of their Japanese tracks, and one of my favorite SKZ songs. The video is great, as well.
Ha ha, I was thinking the same!
Haha... ooookkkkkkkk
Замечательная реакция. Вы очень хорошо вникает в смысл который хотят передать ребята. У них самая крутая музыка! Очень люблю песню 3 rd eye ❤
Thank you :)
this is cool to watch
Thank you very much. I am happy you like it
I love Straykids 😭🫶🏻
Shay Shay Shay y'all didn't just let me discover that rabbit hole..... I was lured into it, and pushed hahaha.
@NeonReactionsPierre You will never regret the Stray Kids journey. It blows my mind their level of creative genius and that it started when they were so young. Their insight & story telling abilities are bar none. I don't think Stays pushed you into the rabbit hole, I prefer to refer to it as a nudge. One that you were meant to experience because you would appreciate them.😊
I am not is the name of the album.
Trailer is what it's named, a trailer die rhe album. And the trailers contribute to the story a lot.
They are not songs, but the music is all instrumental bit and pieces from the album's songs.
Thanks, that makes sense now
Before every album they release something called "Intro" like in this case -> Stray Kids [INTRO: I am NOT]. this videos are a Wonderfull insight into how they created the songs and the thoughts that went into them.
That is so cool
some of the videos, lyrics, japanese songs and videos, live performances some of Bang Chan's Vilves have things to do with the storyline and a lot of people still haven't figured it all out so good luck :)
welcome to stayville ❤
hello.... where can I find the next coffee shop? I'm gonna need some caffeine
Skz has timeless and layered lyricism for the real world plus MV exclusive skzlore to them. This is especially true when there's a new release and it calls back to their past song, depending on how you interpret them. This is why there are alot of skzlore focused stays with varying interpretations and overlaps like clones, dimensions, roles, and whatnot.
Like you've watched Social Path and the first thing in my head was THIS intro teaser, as well as their origins coz both were related to their trainee days. Except social path has a resolute tone to it, hence, "call it the social path" unlike being a "glitch" where theyve just AWAKEN (ahem, skz song title too) from the system.
6:27 MIRROR is also a song of theirs haha
17:56 ALL IN is also a song of theirs 😂
Thats cool. 'All In' is a song... haha I was not intending to reference that, but well..... I am enjoying this journey so much!
Sorry for a long post. I just get excited to share sometimes.
I've only just come across your content for Stray Kids today. Having only just come to know them in the last few months myself, I'm still on my journey to Stay-dom lol However, one of my favorite things I found was the storyline they created with the following song list:
1. On Track
2. B Me (there no official MV but they have a "making of" or something in their youtube page)
3. Oh
4. The View
I'm not sure if it's been continued yet in the newest music so I'll have to keep searching but.... it's a fun one that is very much told in the MVs more than the lyrics.
Additionally, I personally think Venom and Case 143 are in a storyline too. In the MV for Venom, you can see the carpet in a few shots is the same as the one in Case 143's MV. They are both about a deep connect/obsessional love/overwhelming emotions. I'm looking for more signs that they are also connected to any other songs.
Separately, Lavanter is one song that hit the heartstrings due to it's Hellevator connection but it also is one of my all time favorites because it felt like the biggest step forward for them as the 8 instead of the 9 members.
I'll continue to binge your Stray Kids reactions as I'm very much invested in watching others get the happiness I now get from their content/music. Good luck on your journey, and thanks for sharing it with us Stays!! 😊
Thank you for your kind words. I am following a storyline atm . It's some 20-25 songs ...
they debuted telling everyone they're different and that's not a bad thing, that they're not your average cookie cutter kpop group (they've been know for making "noise" instead of music) and thus they became popular everywhere except in Korea, they didn't like them because their strong and different sounds, as you can hear they do many genres. Nowadays they gained popularity in Korea too but not as big as they're internationally, and with all that they've been breaking records over and over for the past 6 years! you're in for a ride, they are GOOD QUALITY ✨
Thank you. Yes that was my feeling. They are different and pretty good at what they do.
Im late to the party, and know you have more recent videos, but i hope others have told you that if you follow the music videos, basically chronologically (not always), a large amount all tie into each other and tell stories. It has turned into a whole multi-univers... or should i say 'megaverse'... hence their song Megaverse.😅
If you follow my stray kids videos in chronological order you will see that I followed a storyline provided by one of my viewers.
Here and there I threw in some sidesteps because of various reasons... thanks for being here.
❤stray kids😊
YEAH!! :)
I dont know if you noticed it but when they debut they are originally 9 members, and maybe thats why its called District 9.
And what’s for all the red element il they’re lvl. Specially in social path. The red pill, or red door, the red is some kind of thing they keep reaching for. Is it they’re salvation, they’re rebellion…I’m still trying to figure out.
And look up the meaning of the blue light in thunderous. They also have a meaning in Korean culture
Thank you.... I did find out about the blue flames.... but the red hmmm... it could be just because it is an eye-catching color that sticks out.
like red pill blue pill kind of thing
I’m wondering if you’ll also be listening to early songs. I think Mirror from I am Not will be one of my top 5 songs always. Their early songs are as good as the recent ones!
I will listen to a lot of early songs as far as that storyline list goes.
They were always critiziced in Korea, I think still to this day, because they want to be a kpop group that is different from others.... they labeled their music in Korea as "noise music"... because their music as you have heard, has many different sounds not typically used, for example the sirens they use in the background. Especially since they write and produce their own music 98% of the time.. So, as you will find out in new music such as God's menu, Thunderous, or Cheese... they pretty much tell the haters "we dont care" ... in God's menu you can see them in a construction site, doing experiments in lab coats... they're basically saying we do our own music, we construct, experiment, we don't care what you think of us, this is how we are. That's why I like skz (actually the first kpop group i ended up listening to) because even with all that criticism, they stepped forward, did their own thing, and now they are globally known and admired ❤ so yeah as someone else already said, they were experimenting different styles of music until they found their unique sound, so some old songs will be all over the place haha comparing to their new music😅 anyways i hope i made sense english is my second language.... i'm thrilled to see your journey on falling in love with skz :)
Thank you very much. Your english is great! Glad to have you here!
Please react to some videos about all the members to get to know them better
Side Effects next? 👀
i think i.n saw his clone in the trailer
Yea, that's what I also thought

Do you know how the logo of Stray Kids was created?
No actually I don't.
@@NeonReactionsPierre it's actually created from Bang Chan, the leader of Stray Kids. It happened very randomly and he said this will be their logo. The company loved it, as far as i know.
Thank you for the reactions and welcome to the rabbit hole of Stayville!
coool @@aleksandrakyupova5347
i recommend watching skzlore videos, every skz mv connects to another. I AM NOT (straykids) meaning they r the clones
