For straykids you should definitely react to either Miroh or my pace theyre a bit older songs but probably the best in my opinion if your looking for SMTH with great writing you should definitely listen to Hellavator PLEASE🙏🏼🙏🏼
On the contrary, the part you didn't like was my favorite part. LOL! The laid back rap flow was such a good contrast to the tension being built throughout the song. Appreciate the honest reaction though! Stray Kids have such a wide range of genres in their discography that would definitely suit your taste. Off the same album, the more vocal tracks will be Waiting For Us and Lonely St, but I'm sure so many more recommendations will come through the comments, hopefully you try them out too! 😄
just subscribed :) it's really hard to find someone who genuienly gives their opinion about the music without trying to appeal to the fanbase so I actually enjoyed your video and I'm looking forward for your next. as for skz, they are a completely self-produced group meaning they are completely in charge of every step of the music making from initial production to writing, composing, arranging, sound engineering, directing the recording and etc... skz is known as a unique group for their style of music, because in the span of 5 years they tried 45+ genres and nearly 200 songs, with all of the different genres they still managed to give it that skz taste that they're known for. they also have created their own genre with the song GOD'S MENU called the the "MALA TASTE" genre. therefore they got alot of hate for their style of music, people started calling it noise music which now has become their nickname from people who dont like them, but skz didnt let that go to them and released an album called NO EASY which is wordplay on NOISY, they made it clear to the people saying our music is noisy and we're proud, I'm saying all of this because if you listened to some of their popular songs in the future you might think they flex a little too much but if you know the amount of hate they've experienced (and still do unfortunately) you'll realise this is nothing because skz are actually very humble people. anyways here are some of my recommendations based on what genre you like:- - if you like to check out the songs that labelled them as noisy: SIDE EFFECTS (it all started with this song), GOD'S MENU, BACK DOOR, MIROH, DISTRICT 9, MY PACE, CHRISTMAS EVEL, DOMINO, SSICK, ALL IN, FREEZE, GIVE ME YOUR TMI, CIRCUS, WOLFGANG, THUNDEROUS (this one was on the NO EASY album). - if you like more "ballad"y or vocal heavy songs: SECRET SECRET, SORRY I LOVE YOU, WINTER FALLS, SILENT CRY, PHOBIA, WAITING FOR US, SCARS, ANOTHER DAY, SUNSHINE, THE SOUND, HELLEVATOR, GONE AWAY, 24 TO 25, CHILL, NOVEL, LOST ME, EX, FAIRY TALE. note/ some of these songs have a live performance on the "first take" channel, trust me they're worth watching. - if you like hiphop and rap heavy tracks: EASY, CHARMER, MUDDY WATER, CHEESE, ANY, MAZE OF MEMORIES, 19, TMT, DOUBLE KNOT. - I'm sure people have told you about 3RACHA by now so here's some of their songs: WE GO, HEYDAY, 3RACHA (its the song name). - and we also have the holy trinity of skz'z spicy songs (they're all unit songs): RED LIGHTS, TASTE, DRIVE. min you this is not even half of their discography so good luck. FUN FACT: they have 2 Australian members so you might here an aussie accent here and there in their songs.
Stray Kids is a total package. They combine the visual (mv), singing, beat and melody and choreography to make a more stimulating experience. Therefore, you won't be as enchanted just by first watching or listening to the songs. Their music is just like old wine. You will fall into them as you watch their performance more.
The voice that really caught your attention was Seungmin. There is an interpretation of this song that the web that they purposely trapped themselves in is being kpop idols and the music industry. Of course that doesn't mean that the top layer of the song isn't about a romantic relationship. Stray kids has said that they like to leave interpretation of their art to the one's listening and watching. They enjoy watching the reaction videos and seeing the theories that Stays and casual listeners come up with. Maniac Thunderous Freeze Easy Backdoor God's menu These are just a few popular songs. Thunderous is an amazing song that never fails to wow, but we know how you feel about flex songs so warn you that that is a comeback to the people who have an insulting them and calling their music noise music. Thank you so much for your honest review.
Would we call Thunderous a flex song? I thought it was a sassy clap back for the criticism that their music is just noise, and just them saying that it doesn’t matter, they aren’t going to express what they need to, and embrace who they are without letting people’s negatives affect them. That’s not so much a flex as God’s Menu - which says that no one can copy them because they keep making new things, even though I don’t much consider it a flex song either. It’s not like a BP song without interpretation and wordplay with straightforward messages. But that’s just my take.
First I want to say that Venom is a bside and not a tilte track, and I always find intrresting to be introduced with a bside ! If you want the title track of this album is Maniac ! For more interesting rap flow I would recommend Miroh, Back door, God's menu or Thunderous. Okay so the person you didn't like the flow of is Hyunjin ! And he actually got other parts in the song : he is one of the member singing the chorus (the spiderweb part) with Felix and Lee Know and in the bridge full rap he was the 3rd rapper ! Most fans really enjoyed this rap of his but I totally understand the fact that you did not like it, it's not even close to his best rap. And honestly this song is not the most interesting when it comes to lyrics at all. They have way more other songs about mental health or other taboo topics in general that I found more interesting. But I find interesting that you said partner and not girlfriend or boyfriend because all of Stray kids songs, beside Airplane and There, are gender neutral !
I love Stray Kids songs because they have everything sonically. Love how they switch flows, bests, and temperature in any given song. The members’ distinct vocal tone and rap flows are becoming sort of SKZ signature. I really dig listening to their discography.
What I like about stray kids is how they're clearly still playing around with genres and styles - it's been pretty fun seeing them develop musically. Anout the lyrics, I think a lot gets lost in translation because the lyricsm and rhyming schemes in Korean are often pretty complex, and many English translations just don't quite capture the full meanings
Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids. They have a huge discography, and are a very talented group (producing, singing, rapping and dancing). I hope you will react to more of their music to get a better idea of who they are. Their lyrics are always meaningful and often have deeper meaning than what it might seem. If you want an example of a song with a clearly deeper concept I would recommend Secret Secret. So, more Stray Kids please.
A song about the attitude of the Stray Kids group to show business. it is a spider web into which one enters voluntarily and it is difficult to leave it voluntarily.
2:17 "This dude's voice. I'm happy he has the chorus." My impression from this comment is that you're thinking it's the same singer for this part as you commented on in the first verse -- it's not. SKZ doesn't do the "leave that member out" thing. They don't have the designated stars and everyone else is backup; or set positions so the vocals can have 80% of the song, the rappers can have 18%, and the dancers can pipe up for 2% just to say they participated. There are no official set positions; they all rap, sing, and dance, and that means they _all_ get to participate equally because that's how they were formed to function. They have one of the most equal line distributions in the industry. They switch up who's singing/rapping what parts in every verse and chorus. It's very rare for them to stick with the same person doing the same bits multiple times. No one's there to be quiet, basically. The one you didn't like, Hyunjin, happened to be the one doing the experimental bit of the song this time. They're an experimental group, so they'll do things like mix genres, pull jarring switches at seemingly random moments...or throw in a highly contrasting vocal or flow (or both, in this case) to play with the sound and highlight elements. It's totally ok if it's not your thing, but it came across as you believing that's just "his sound" overall and the song would have been better off without him. In reality, he was also elsewhere in the song and blending into the dominant style, and this solo moment was a deliberately jarringly different section written by and whose sound/style was decided by the producing unit (the first rapper, the rapper you liked right after this part you didn't like, and the second singer you liked whom you thought was the same person as the first singer you liked). Just wanted to clarify that so you'll have the knowledge if you check out anything else: That was a vocal style and flow he adopted, under direction, for this song; it's not his unchanging personal style, leaving him a weak point in anything else you might listen to. As for depth, multiple people have already said it, but I have to add my voice: SKZ are among the most highly recognized groups for their deep, powerful, meaningful, often clever lyrics. They live for wordplay, sometimes three or four layers deep. There's an occasional straightforward one, but those are the minority. Barring MAXIDENT, their first and only love-focused album (and even that one is _all_ kinds of love, and all stages and feelings about it, not just schmoopy romantic blather), almost none of their 150+ songs are romantic-love-centric. There _is_ a lot with loving and accepting themselves, loving the people around them, and a multitude of other deeper, richer themes like fear, self-doubt, confusion, mental illness, finding happiness in simple things, hiding one's depression and (in what's considered a response to that song) helping each other through the depression they think they've hidden, regretting the past choices or missed opportunities, accepting that they must embrace walking their path for their own reasons instead of as an attempt to shape the world, anxiety, determination despite pain and discouragement, clapping back to the truckloads of hate they get (without being nasty or off-putting about it), self-acceptance, and more. Even Venom, while not meant to be one of their deeper dives (they made it to play with the sticky sound), isn't the simple "oh, somebody's caught in a romantic relationship with someone else" concept you read it as. It _could_ be -- that's one of the meanings they left it open to for people not familiar with them, as it's easy to think it and move along if not invested. But almost anything like this has another meaning that they intend for people familiar with their larger body of work and consistent themes, things like a penchant for overwork, realities of the industry they choose to be in, and even just relationships beyond the default assumption of romantic pairings. The depth is very much there to see and appreciate if one decides to listen further and keep in mind not to go with only the surface-level assumption of meaning. Yeah, "Cheese" is straightforward clapback humor. "God's Menu" is straightforward claiming of their own style and lack of interest in what others have to say, albeit said with clever use of metaphor. "Easy" exists for the pure swag. But "Mirror," "Voices," "Hellevator," "Phobia," "Levanter," "District 9," "I Am YOU," "Scars," "Slump," "Chronosaurus," "Side Effects," "Silent Cry," "Secret Secret" (one that rings particularly close for a lot of queer fans, which is the majority of the fandom), "Red Lights" (one that rings close for a lot of fans with illnesses like OCD), and literally over a hundred more? There are relatable, sometimes gut-clenching meanings there. Even "Maniac," dismissed by many as a simple banger, has depth of meaning -- stop performing the societally demanded facade of an arbitrary concept of normalcy and instead embrace the truth of the inner self that seems so maniacal to you but in reality is something almost everyone has hidden within. "Everyone is uniquely odd; 'normal' is a lie. Be you." But most locals just hear it, bop along to it, and think no further, when the meaning is right there to be found. Anyway, they're literally famous for their mastery with lyrics. They get hired by other artists and show productions on the strength of their strength in lyrics and composition. Venom, out of more than 150 songs, just doesn't happen to be one where that was their main focus, and yet even it isn't as one-layered as was assumed here. For someone who appreciates lyrics, there's a treasure trove awaiting in the discography.
I’ll admit, I didn’t vibe much to Venom initially, but it grew on me. This is a group of 8 (originally 9) boys who debuted after a survival show. I would definitely check out Hellevator, District 9 and Miroh (they still have the 9th member in these) and then the ot8 new era - God’s Menu, Back door, Thunderous, Maniac and Case 143. They’ve got so many different songs for all tastes that it is wild. Earlier b-sides I’d recommend are: awkward silence and get cool. Later b-sides: Charmer, Domino, Wolfgang, Taste, Red Lights, Give me your TMI. I’d also recommend Fam (Korean version) as a lighthearted, wholesome introduction to each member. The music is typically written and produced by three members of the group called 3racha made up of Bangchan, Han and Changbin though most members have input on music and lyrics, and most have dipped their toes into writing too. They are constantly releasing, constantly engaging with their supporters, and so hard working and their chemistry together is so unreal that it is infectious, which has led to them having an incredibly loyal fan base (called Stays).
One thing that may make it harder to appreciate the lyrics is that the wordplay between English and Korean is hard to get just from looking at the translation of the lyrics. Personally, I really appreciate the fact that Stray Kids are self-produced and I loved the instrumentation/beat of this song. It is a B-side, but that doesn't take away from it. Typically, their songs can have multiple meaning and often include wordplay off of Korean and English pronunciations and meanings. They also have several art references in the video. Seungmin's voice is a treat, glad you recognized it.
Honestly , this song is not everyone's cup of tea , specially if you are like listening to them for the first time .... you should give try to their title tracks first like maybe GOD'S MENU or THUNDEROUS ( they will help you understand their music form ) ..... looking forward to more of them from you 😅❤
To be honest, neither of these title tracks are everyone’s cup of tea either. Their style in music is just all together not for everyone, I think. They are a group with an incredibly diverse discography, which makes it hard for someone who isn’t already a fan of them as a group to appreciate their music. It’s always like that: you like one song and then the next one is an entirely different genre. That’s a bit difficult to get into. I am also more a fan of them than I am of their music.
@@mules8662 ah agreed agreed , you kinda have to know them to get in touch with their songs heartily ... But they are so diverse tbh that everyone can find something of their like , anyways it's not mandatory to like every song of an artist in order to support them , we can always love them for who they are :)
@@mules8662 which is probably why I love Stray Kids, they’re not scared to branch out, be experimental in the world of Kpop. (and also why they got a lot of haters, some ppl just can’t handle diverse discography 😢)
@@jiyamishra3199 honestly i agree. I wish more kpop fans would think like you do. People judge artists just by hearing one song and tend to pigeonhole them. I’m glad Stray Kids is constantly expanding & growing as an artist
@@supersucks I agree. Their bravery to aim for a different route is really their unique selling point. I prefer a group that writes, produces and performs their own music any day. You can really tell how they are living and breathing for their craft. I can make that claim even though I’m not listening to their music often. I’m not a regular k-pop listener all together actually, but like I said, I appreciate talent and they are definitely a very talented group.
With around 170 songs that include more than 40 genres of music mixed into them, there is bound to be something that hits for you. I mean, they even created their own recognized genre- Mala taste. They like to try everything that they can when it comes to music. This was a B side. I highly recommend that you check out more of their work. Maybe a title track? They write, compose and arrange almost all of their music. Each of the guys can sing and rap very well. Each is like a main dancer. Also, they are full of unexpected charms... like their personalities and hidden talents.
As a fan of Stray Kids I am glad that you are honest with your review. Stray kids are self producing Kpop group and they have wide variety of songs and it is what I love about them the amount of song that they have you could really find something that you would like but at the same time due to that there are songs that also wouldn't probably suit your taste and that is fine too. They experiment a lot with their sound and it is amazing to see how involved they are in every aspect of their music and concept as a group. I hope you continue to listen to their other songs. Some recommendations from me are Thunderous, God's Menu and Case 143 and Maniac these are their more popular experimental songs.
Stray kids recommendations Gods menu Easy Domino (if you watch domino don’t watch the music video bc it is only a minute long, look for a lyric video instead so you can hear the whole song ) Freeze Back door Miroh Victory song Stray kids is an eight member self produced group. Also to recommend other artists I suggest somi she is a soloist and I recommend her song “anymore” it’s more of a slow song but the vocals are very nice, and since I don’t really know what genre you like I will just recommend you random stuff 😂 Savage by A.C.E Illusion by aespa Typa girl by blackpink Clap by seventeen INVU by Taeyeon Slingshot by tnx Strawberry cake by Xdinary Heroes (an actual band)
OMFG YES, i love xdinary heros with all my heart(as u can see from my Junhan profile pic). They are so talented vocally and instrumentally, also in rapping. Not to forget that they are heavily involved in the making of their songs!
i would give some of their other stuff a try you WILL find things you like AND they are completely self produced, like lyrics beats everything. like the members make absolutely everything.
I feel like you would like the song called ‘3racha’ it’s only 3 of the members in the group but they are the 3 who write most/almost all of Stray Kids’ music
Thank you for giving Stray Kids a chance, I hope you will try more of their songs ... personally, I think the whole Oddinary album is good ... as stated by others, Maniac is the title track, but Freeze and Lonely St are also good and completely different from Maniac or Venom... They are known for sort of bending or blending genres .... but I'm a Stay, so my opinion is 100% biased
They are lyric geniuses when you get into their B side stuff and the stuff they release directly to their TH-cam channel called SKZ Record. Those songs they will sometimes break off into their different uinits or as individuals to sing and write. Songs like Secret Secret which was written by Han and has to do with dealing with anxiety and hiding it And Silent Cry Which is a responding song to Secret Secret. It is about those watching you struggle and wanting to help you though you have not asked.
please continue to check out stray kids!! this was just a bside, not a main title track from the album. Check out Thunderous and Gods Menu, their most popular songs :)
Thank you for your reaction to Skz. I like your honesty about what you enjoy and what you don't. Everyone is different and have their own preference which I understand. I look forward to seeing you react to more Stray Kids. Just an heads up, unlike a lot of other kpop groups, StrayKids produces MV for a lot of their B-Sides. Venom is actually a B-sides from their 2022 album Oddinary and their Title track is Manaic. As people in the comment already stated, Skz are very experimental with their songs, heck they were debuted as an experimental group where the Leader, Bang Chan, hand-picked all his members, which is pretty much hardly seen. So I hope you get the chance to see many shades of SKZ in their music genre!
thank you for reacting to Stray Kids (can be abbreviated to SKZ)! I hope you react to them more! this song has a kind of specific sound, so although I like it a lot, I understand why others might not like it. although I must say it could be a grower, so maybe you will like it more after a few listens. Stray Kids write their songs themselves, mainly the producing unit called 3racha (pronounced as three-racha - wordplay with hotsauce sriracha - they looove word plays) and they like experimenting with genres, so if you dive a bit deeper you will find a whole variety of sounds from them. if you want to hear the whole variety of their sounds, I recommend to check out the whole album where Venom is from. the album is called Oddinary (they love word plays, did I tell you? XD) and the other songs are maniac (title track, has MV), freeze (has MV), Lonely St. (has MV), Charmer, Waiting for us, Muddy water. their most popular title tracks, which people usually recommend to start with are (in chronological order): Miroh, God's menu, Back door, Thunderous, Maniac. SKZ debut in 2018 and have around 150 songs in their discography. 3racha contributed to 99% of them. Many songs of theirs don't have deeper lyrics, many songs have deeper lyrics and/or talk about mental health. some songs are very confusing, because they sound like a great song for shacking your body on a dance floor but the lyrics is actually super deep and rather sad (for example my beloved "silent cry").
🤍 Stray Kids! Enjoyed U 2 👏 Thank you for giving them a minute. It'd be lovely if you listen to more. They largely write ➕️ produce own music🎶🎵 Until next time ☮️🌸 be well. 👍👍God's Menu 💥Backdoor 💥Thunderous 💥 Maniac
I must say, as a fan of stray kids myself I was somehow disappointed of how you didn’t like some parts but I glad you kept your review honest and still liked it
I subscribed once you said you would probably listened to it again which tells me you are open minded. Hyunjin is the one you didn’t like and happens to be my favorite. I could suggest you watch his solo dance Playing With Fire or his dance cover Post Malone’s Mottley Crew but it’s probably too early for that. Please watch Maniac, he is the one with red hair. Thank you.
It's been almosttt an year since I've become a stay, my first was maniac and it was probably one of the easiest songs to catch up with your brain as someone who listens to them fir the first time. Other thank maniac, if you want to listen to other bops then thunderous, red lights, drive (heavily auto tuned just for the way the song was made), The Sound (Japanese) and lonely st. are few of their best whereas for calm and healing ones, chill (both Japanese and kr. versions are available), secret secret (my personal fav skz song), winter falls, 24-25 (never knew a Christmas song would be my comfort song), sorry I love you, there (japanese) and more... And it's fine if u don't get them at first because they are a group with an exceptionally high range of music genres I'm sure you'll find something exactly to your liking ❤
the one you didn’t like his flow is hyunjin but he’s more of rapper than a vocalist even though he’s has amazing vocals too . You should try listen to red light by two members of stray kids /bang chan and hyunjin Maybe this song will change your mind about him 👌😊
I'd love it if you checked out some Monsta X. Their rap line is top tier. I would start with Rush Hour or Shoot Out, and then if you want to see more rap do Sambakja Triple Rhythm.
Appreciate your honest reaction but getting someone of the team out of the song is very rude because their not a single artist their a team you cant leave someone out of the team and kpop groups become family koreans have a diffrent point of view they call them brothers/sisters and actually enjoy ech others presense no one tries to outshine the other they do it together so its more like all together or no one
im SHOCKED, you didn't like that part 😭, its one of my favourites, and I think is the most played part on the video lmaooo Either way, it was very interesting to see a different opinion on it :], thanks for the honest reaction! , I would like you to react more of skz (if you want to ofc), since they like to experiment with different genres, so it would be nice to see you react to other songs of them, and have your opinion.
A lot more amazing songs to react to with Stray Kids. They do so many different types of songs. However, one of their biggest ones is God's Menu. Hope you react to more.
I feel like you're one of the few people that actually catches Seungmin's vocals the first time! He's one of the main vocals (though they're all really good singers). And I agree, I don't like Hyunjin's airy rap bit that much.. It's interesting for this one to be your first Stray Kids song haha; Maniac, Back Door, or Thunderous would've been my stronger choices to recommend
Venom is such an interesting song for a first reaction 😂😂 I feel like its definitely their song, its their sound, but its still so different from all of their other stuff. Id love to see a reaction to The Tortoise and The Hare, SLUMP, Victory Song, Double Knot, Charmer, My Pace, Streetlight (solo by member Changbin) or other b-sides, as that is where I believe the good stuff to be
Honestly I didn't like this at all when I first heard it but enjoy it now :) It's a funny one to start with when brand new to them, many are saying their title tracks are the best but actually my fave SKZ songs are B-sides so you just have to explore and see what lands with you. You can't love all the songs and there's many of theirs that I wouldn't choose to put on even though they're one of my ult groups. But they have something for everyone as they are so versatile, and sooooo much music you can't get bored either. I enjoy the fact that you say which bits you are less keen on (even though I disagree with those parts haha) as so many reactors are very vague or just love everything!
Just wanna say something... in kpop, you will always get many different voices/flows ect. and it often IS the charme that that group has... its like... you get many flavours in one song and i guesse you have to get used to the fast switch up?(that matches well now so... you should listen to gods menu by skz😂)
i like that you have your opinion and took the time to expand on it; maybe you’ll live secret secret, i didn’t like that one very much until i read the lyrics
If you don't know stray kids and haven't watch their songs like maniac thunderous god's menu and red lights dn your really lacking behind😂 you need to watch them soon and also hyunjin's aotm and play with fire cover
I would say start with Gods Menu, Back Door and Thunderous by Stray Kids 😬 the more you dive the more you will be intrigued as they are self produces and the leader Bangchan hand-picked the members himself and they all rap, sing and dance
So it’s not so much that they’re separate artists lol they’re the same group. I feel like you should definitely check out more of their music bc there is way more incredibly lyrical songs and venom is the tip of the iceberg
@@RatedReviewsOfficial please do Gods Menu! We would appreciate you diving deep into the lyrics on that song (its just so witty and fun) especially since it’s made with the concept, dance & music video in mind. Like it’s all connected 🔥
Also if u want to try KRock and JRock. I recommend The Rose and One Ok Rock respectively. For The Rose I recommend songs Alive, Back To Me, Red and Childhood to start. For One Ok Rock I recommend the songs Stand Out to Fit In MV and live is a good watch, We Are, and Renegades these guys sound great live and put on a show. Also just side note if ur looking for unique KPop songs check out Colde Feat: RM song, Don't Ever Say; Love Me, So!YoON Feat: RM song, Smoke Sprite and Balming Tiger Feat: RM song called Sexy Nukim this band is Indie group btw. Mostly Hip Hop but, they call themselves an multi-national alternative K-pop group” that refuse to be limited by specific genres.
U should check out more Stray Kids and their 3 newer songs they are Megaverse, LaLaLa, S Class and u may like there more cutesy happy vibe song Case 143 and also I forgot song Circus I like a lot too. For older songs my hubby likes Gods menu btw this was my first song I heard and had him listen to it and he loved it too. He also enjoyed Thunderous, Maniac, and Freeze. Also Stray Kids collab with Tiger JK been listening to him forever since mid 90's with song called, Top Line. But, one of my fav song is a collab between leader BangChan (Korean Australian, so is Felix, the rapper with blond hair with the deeper darker voice in this MV) and Hyunjin the guy u didn't care much for lol it's ok with song called Red Lights it's got a dark sexy vibe to it. But definitely worth a listen to at least once everyon
For straykids you should definitely react to either Miroh or my pace theyre a bit older songs but probably the best in my opinion if your looking for SMTH with great writing you should definitely listen to Hellavator PLEASE🙏🏼🙏🏼
In kpop, we call them "groups" or "artists", not bands. The term "band" is reserved for those groups who play actual instruments like The Rose, ONEWE, Day6, Hoppipolla, Lucy, NFlying, FT ISLAND, CN Blue, etc. Most of those bands are "idol bands" because they follow the structure of kpop groups for the most part. Outside of those bands, kpop groups are just called "groups" normally. In our community we almost have our own language, so if you want to sound like a fluent kpop fan, I suggest brushing up on some terms we commonly use.
It looks like you like vocal heavy songs? I’m sorry if I’m wrong I just watched another video of yours and I would recommend secret secret, sorry I love you, levanter , gone away, I am you, scars, hellavator(predebut), voices, And Mirror. But for their title tracks I would recommend any of them. The one for this album was Maniac. Some more popular ones that alot of ppl reccomend for first time listeners is thunderous and God’s menu (both are about their confidence in themselves, so just be aware of the lyrics seem as tho they are bringing themselves up or boasting) But honestly by skz Song would do they have so many songs so I can’t recommend all.
To be honest I don't think you chose the right song to react to stray kids for the first time but I loved you reaction I definitely will be coming back to your channel and could you react to another song of straykids please!
If you want songs with a very deep mean take a look at some B sides that don’t have music videos like secret secret, silent cry, or songs from the noeasy album in general for full group songs for a meaning (the first 3 songs are pretty much an F U to the haters saying we are gonna do what we want and be who we want). They have an experimental song that was released called tortoise and the hare that was written by the youngest producer in the group Han jisung in about 15-20 minutes. They also have some Japanese songs (with Korean versions and a couple with English versions) that have a deeper meaning as well such as scars or slump (slump was written by Han jisung as well same as secret secret. Slump was written during a time when he was struggling with his writing and it’s actually what brought him out of his slump) (secret secret is a song that was written about his anxiety)
I found BTS first, and then Stray Kids. I love them, but this isn't my favorite. I enjoy the song, but other songs of theirs that I prefer are Back Door, Red Lights, Mania, Case 143, God's Menu, Miroh. Any of those I think are better "first listens" for Stray Kids. I look forward to more Kpop reactions from you! I would love to see reactions to The Rose (or even just their lead singer, Woosung), Ateez, Got7 or Jackson Wang. OOOhhhh and for something completely different, how about a Thai artist? Jeff Satur has an amazing voice! I recommend his collab with Shaun (a Korean artist), the song is Steal The Show.
If you are interested in a more rockish sound and pretty voices, I'd recommend Dreamcatcher. Some of their songs: the triology of Scream, Boca & Odd Eye which deals with cyberbullying and their two most recent comebacks Maison & Vision about protecting our home (climate change & war).
You should react to BTS Fake love it went crazy when it came out but then suddenly forgotten about definitely in their top 5 best songs out of the hundreds they have ❤
HEY REACT TO TXT YOU'LL DEF LIKE THEIR MUSIC COZ IT'S COMPLETELY DIFF FROM OTHER KPOP GRPS , THEY HAVE SUCH A LARGE DISCOGRAPHY THAT YOU'LL SURELY LIKE PLZZZZ REACT TO THEM HIGHLY RECOMMENDING TO YOU IF YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT IS REAL KPOP JUST REACT TO TXT!!!! (not one or two songs ) hope you'll react to that amazing boys
How would you rate it? You know this is just my initial opinion right?
You should check out Maniac or God’s menu next by Stray Kids 🩶
Personally venom is a song you have to listen to alot to finally feel it.. you should have started with a title track
Please do more SKZ
its a b-side song. you should react their tittle track.
For straykids you should definitely react to either Miroh or my pace theyre a bit older songs but probably the best in my opinion if your looking for SMTH with great writing you should definitely listen to Hellavator PLEASE🙏🏼🙏🏼
their main songs have lighter easier to understand lyrics but if you dig into their non-music video songs they are honestly lyrical geniuses.
On the contrary, the part you didn't like was my favorite part. LOL! The laid back rap flow was such a good contrast to the tension being built throughout the song. Appreciate the honest reaction though!
Stray Kids have such a wide range of genres in their discography that would definitely suit your taste. Off the same album, the more vocal tracks will be Waiting For Us and Lonely St, but I'm sure so many more recommendations will come through the comments, hopefully you try them out too! 😄
That's my favorite part too!! I've always found that part refreshing, like a nice breather.
just subscribed :) it's really hard to find someone who genuienly gives their opinion about the music without trying to appeal to the fanbase so I actually enjoyed your video and I'm looking forward for your next.
as for skz, they are a completely self-produced group meaning they are completely in charge of every step of the music making from initial production to writing, composing, arranging, sound engineering, directing the recording and etc...
skz is known as a unique group for their style of music, because in the span of 5 years they tried 45+ genres and nearly 200 songs, with all of the different genres they still managed to give it that skz taste that they're known for.
they also have created their own genre with the song GOD'S MENU called the the "MALA TASTE" genre.
therefore they got alot of hate for their style of music, people started calling it noise music which now has become their nickname from people who dont like them, but skz didnt let that go to them and released an album called NO EASY which is wordplay on NOISY, they made it clear to the people saying our music is noisy and we're proud, I'm saying all of this because if you listened to some of their popular songs in the future you might think they flex a little too much but if you know the amount of hate they've experienced (and still do unfortunately) you'll realise this is nothing because skz are actually very humble people.
anyways here are some of my recommendations based on what genre you like:-
- if you like to check out the songs that labelled them as noisy: SIDE EFFECTS (it all started with this song), GOD'S MENU, BACK DOOR, MIROH, DISTRICT 9, MY PACE, CHRISTMAS EVEL, DOMINO, SSICK, ALL IN, FREEZE, GIVE ME YOUR TMI, CIRCUS, WOLFGANG, THUNDEROUS (this one was on the NO EASY album).
- if you like more "ballad"y or vocal heavy songs: SECRET SECRET, SORRY I LOVE YOU, WINTER FALLS, SILENT CRY, PHOBIA, WAITING FOR US, SCARS, ANOTHER DAY, SUNSHINE, THE SOUND, HELLEVATOR, GONE AWAY, 24 TO 25, CHILL, NOVEL, LOST ME, EX, FAIRY TALE.
note/ some of these songs have a live performance on the "first take" channel, trust me they're worth watching.
- if you like hiphop and rap heavy tracks: EASY, CHARMER, MUDDY WATER, CHEESE, ANY, MAZE OF MEMORIES, 19, TMT, DOUBLE KNOT.
- I'm sure people have told you about 3RACHA by now so here's some of their songs: WE GO, HEYDAY, 3RACHA (its the song name).
- and we also have the holy trinity of skz'z spicy songs (they're all unit songs): RED LIGHTS, TASTE, DRIVE.
min you this is not even half of their discography so good luck.
FUN FACT: they have 2 Australian members so you might here an aussie accent here and there in their songs.
much love homie! I just recorded another bts video and had nothing negative to say about that one😯
Loads of great recommendations here! Thanks for taking the time to write it all out.
Stray Kids is a total package. They combine the visual (mv), singing, beat and melody and choreography to make a more stimulating experience. Therefore, you won't be as enchanted just by first watching or listening to the songs. Their music is just like old wine. You will fall into them as you watch their performance more.
The voice that really caught your attention was Seungmin.
There is an interpretation of this song that the web that they purposely trapped themselves in is being kpop idols and the music industry. Of course that doesn't mean that the top layer of the song isn't about a romantic relationship.
Stray kids has said that they like to leave interpretation of their art to the one's listening and watching. They enjoy watching the reaction videos and seeing the theories that Stays and casual listeners come up with.
Maniac
Thunderous
Freeze
Easy
Backdoor
God's menu
These are just a few popular songs.
Thunderous is an amazing song that never fails to wow, but we know how you feel about flex songs so warn you that that is a comeback to the people who have an insulting them and calling their music noise music.
Thank you so much for your honest review.
Would we call Thunderous a flex song? I thought it was a sassy clap back for the criticism that their music is just noise, and just them saying that it doesn’t matter, they aren’t going to express what they need to, and embrace who they are without letting people’s negatives affect them. That’s not so much a flex as God’s Menu - which says that no one can copy them because they keep making new things, even though I don’t much consider it a flex song either. It’s not like a BP song without interpretation and wordplay with straightforward messages. But that’s just my take.
this!
First I want to say that Venom is a bside and not a tilte track, and I always find intrresting to be introduced with a bside ! If you want the title track of this album is Maniac !
For more interesting rap flow I would recommend Miroh, Back door, God's menu or Thunderous.
Okay so the person you didn't like the flow of is Hyunjin ! And he actually got other parts in the song : he is one of the member singing the chorus (the spiderweb part) with Felix and Lee Know and in the bridge full rap he was the 3rd rapper ! Most fans really enjoyed this rap of his but I totally understand the fact that you did not like it, it's not even close to his best rap.
And honestly this song is not the most interesting when it comes to lyrics at all. They have way more other songs about mental health or other taboo topics in general that I found more interesting. But I find interesting that you said partner and not girlfriend or boyfriend because all of Stray kids songs, beside Airplane and There, are gender neutral !
I had the same feeling about Hyunjin part upon first listen and now it’s my favorite part. It really grows on you
I love Stray Kids songs because they have everything sonically. Love how they switch flows, bests, and temperature in any given song. The members’ distinct vocal tone and rap flows are becoming sort of SKZ signature. I really dig listening to their discography.
What I like about stray kids is how they're clearly still playing around with genres and styles - it's been pretty fun seeing them develop musically. Anout the lyrics, I think a lot gets lost in translation because the lyricsm and rhyming schemes in Korean are often pretty complex, and many English translations just don't quite capture the full meanings
Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids. They have a huge discography, and are a very talented group (producing, singing, rapping and dancing). I hope you will react to more of their music to get a better idea of who they are. Their lyrics are always meaningful and often have deeper meaning than what it might seem. If you want an example of a song with a clearly deeper concept I would recommend Secret Secret. So, more Stray Kids please.
Straykids never disappoint
A song about the attitude of the Stray Kids group to show business.
it is a spider web into which one enters voluntarily and it is difficult to leave it voluntarily.
2:17 "This dude's voice. I'm happy he has the chorus." My impression from this comment is that you're thinking it's the same singer for this part as you commented on in the first verse -- it's not. SKZ doesn't do the "leave that member out" thing. They don't have the designated stars and everyone else is backup; or set positions so the vocals can have 80% of the song, the rappers can have 18%, and the dancers can pipe up for 2% just to say they participated. There are no official set positions; they all rap, sing, and dance, and that means they _all_ get to participate equally because that's how they were formed to function. They have one of the most equal line distributions in the industry. They switch up who's singing/rapping what parts in every verse and chorus. It's very rare for them to stick with the same person doing the same bits multiple times. No one's there to be quiet, basically.
The one you didn't like, Hyunjin, happened to be the one doing the experimental bit of the song this time. They're an experimental group, so they'll do things like mix genres, pull jarring switches at seemingly random moments...or throw in a highly contrasting vocal or flow (or both, in this case) to play with the sound and highlight elements. It's totally ok if it's not your thing, but it came across as you believing that's just "his sound" overall and the song would have been better off without him. In reality, he was also elsewhere in the song and blending into the dominant style, and this solo moment was a deliberately jarringly different section written by and whose sound/style was decided by the producing unit (the first rapper, the rapper you liked right after this part you didn't like, and the second singer you liked whom you thought was the same person as the first singer you liked). Just wanted to clarify that so you'll have the knowledge if you check out anything else: That was a vocal style and flow he adopted, under direction, for this song; it's not his unchanging personal style, leaving him a weak point in anything else you might listen to.
As for depth, multiple people have already said it, but I have to add my voice: SKZ are among the most highly recognized groups for their deep, powerful, meaningful, often clever lyrics. They live for wordplay, sometimes three or four layers deep. There's an occasional straightforward one, but those are the minority. Barring MAXIDENT, their first and only love-focused album (and even that one is _all_ kinds of love, and all stages and feelings about it, not just schmoopy romantic blather), almost none of their 150+ songs are romantic-love-centric. There _is_ a lot with loving and accepting themselves, loving the people around them, and a multitude of other deeper, richer themes like fear, self-doubt, confusion, mental illness, finding happiness in simple things, hiding one's depression and (in what's considered a response to that song) helping each other through the depression they think they've hidden, regretting the past choices or missed opportunities, accepting that they must embrace walking their path for their own reasons instead of as an attempt to shape the world, anxiety, determination despite pain and discouragement, clapping back to the truckloads of hate they get (without being nasty or off-putting about it), self-acceptance, and more.
Even Venom, while not meant to be one of their deeper dives (they made it to play with the sticky sound), isn't the simple "oh, somebody's caught in a romantic relationship with someone else" concept you read it as. It _could_ be -- that's one of the meanings they left it open to for people not familiar with them, as it's easy to think it and move along if not invested. But almost anything like this has another meaning that they intend for people familiar with their larger body of work and consistent themes, things like a penchant for overwork, realities of the industry they choose to be in, and even just relationships beyond the default assumption of romantic pairings.
The depth is very much there to see and appreciate if one decides to listen further and keep in mind not to go with only the surface-level assumption of meaning. Yeah, "Cheese" is straightforward clapback humor. "God's Menu" is straightforward claiming of their own style and lack of interest in what others have to say, albeit said with clever use of metaphor. "Easy" exists for the pure swag. But "Mirror," "Voices," "Hellevator," "Phobia," "Levanter," "District 9," "I Am YOU," "Scars," "Slump," "Chronosaurus," "Side Effects," "Silent Cry," "Secret Secret" (one that rings particularly close for a lot of queer fans, which is the majority of the fandom), "Red Lights" (one that rings close for a lot of fans with illnesses like OCD), and literally over a hundred more? There are relatable, sometimes gut-clenching meanings there. Even "Maniac," dismissed by many as a simple banger, has depth of meaning -- stop performing the societally demanded facade of an arbitrary concept of normalcy and instead embrace the truth of the inner self that seems so maniacal to you but in reality is something almost everyone has hidden within. "Everyone is uniquely odd; 'normal' is a lie. Be you." But most locals just hear it, bop along to it, and think no further, when the meaning is right there to be found.
Anyway, they're literally famous for their mastery with lyrics. They get hired by other artists and show productions on the strength of their strength in lyrics and composition. Venom, out of more than 150 songs, just doesn't happen to be one where that was their main focus, and yet even it isn't as one-layered as was assumed here. For someone who appreciates lyrics, there's a treasure trove awaiting in the discography.
I’ll admit, I didn’t vibe much to Venom initially, but it grew on me. This is a group of 8 (originally 9) boys who debuted after a survival show. I would definitely check out Hellevator, District 9 and Miroh (they still have the 9th member in these) and then the ot8 new era - God’s Menu, Back door, Thunderous, Maniac and Case 143. They’ve got so many different songs for all tastes that it is wild. Earlier b-sides I’d recommend are: awkward silence and get cool. Later b-sides: Charmer, Domino, Wolfgang, Taste, Red Lights, Give me your TMI. I’d also recommend Fam (Korean version) as a lighthearted, wholesome introduction to each member.
The music is typically written and produced by three members of the group called 3racha made up of Bangchan, Han and Changbin though most members have input on music and lyrics, and most have dipped their toes into writing too. They are constantly releasing, constantly engaging with their supporters, and so hard working and their chemistry together is so unreal that it is infectious, which has led to them having an incredibly loyal fan base (called Stays).
One thing that may make it harder to appreciate the lyrics is that the wordplay between English and Korean is hard to get just from looking at the translation of the lyrics. Personally, I really appreciate the fact that Stray Kids are self-produced and I loved the instrumentation/beat of this song. It is a B-side, but that doesn't take away from it. Typically, their songs can have multiple meaning and often include wordplay off of Korean and English pronunciations and meanings. They also have several art references in the video. Seungmin's voice is a treat, glad you recognized it.
The vocal part that you liked is actually done by 2 artists. Seungmin the first time, and Bangchan (the leader) the second time.
Honestly , this song is not everyone's cup of tea , specially if you are like listening to them for the first time .... you should give try to their title tracks first like maybe GOD'S MENU or THUNDEROUS ( they will help you understand their music form ) ..... looking forward to more of them from you 😅❤
To be honest, neither of these title tracks are everyone’s cup of tea either. Their style in music is just all together not for everyone, I think.
They are a group with an incredibly diverse discography, which makes it hard for someone who isn’t already a fan of them as a group to appreciate their music. It’s always like that: you like one song and then the next one is an entirely different genre. That’s a bit difficult to get into. I am also more a fan of them than I am of their music.
@@mules8662 ah agreed agreed , you kinda have to know them to get in touch with their songs heartily ... But they are so diverse tbh that everyone can find something of their like , anyways it's not mandatory to like every song of an artist in order to support them , we can always love them for who they are :)
@@mules8662 which is probably why I love Stray Kids, they’re not scared to branch out, be experimental in the world of Kpop. (and also why they got a lot of haters, some ppl just can’t handle diverse discography 😢)
@@jiyamishra3199 honestly i agree. I wish more kpop fans would think like you do. People judge artists just by hearing one song and tend to pigeonhole them. I’m glad Stray Kids is constantly expanding & growing as an artist
@@supersucks I agree. Their bravery to aim for a different route is really their unique selling point. I prefer a group that writes, produces and performs their own music any day. You can really tell how they are living and breathing for their craft.
I can make that claim even though I’m not listening to their music often. I’m not a regular k-pop listener all together actually, but like I said, I appreciate talent and they are definitely a very talented group.
Thanks for reacting to skz!! Would love to see more skz content ❤
With around 170 songs that include more than 40 genres of music mixed into them, there is bound to be something that hits for you. I mean, they even created their own recognized genre- Mala taste. They like to try everything that they can when it comes to music. This was a B side. I highly recommend that you check out more of their work. Maybe a title track?
They write, compose and arrange almost all of their music. Each of the guys can sing and rap very well. Each is like a main dancer. Also, they are full of unexpected charms... like their personalities and hidden talents.
As a fan of Stray Kids I am glad that you are honest with your review. Stray kids are self producing Kpop group and they have wide variety of songs and it is what I love about them the amount of song that they have you could really find something that you would like but at the same time due to that there are songs that also wouldn't probably suit your taste and that is fine too. They experiment a lot with their sound and it is amazing to see how involved they are in every aspect of their music and concept as a group. I hope you continue to listen to their other songs. Some recommendations from me are Thunderous, God's Menu and Case 143 and Maniac these are their more popular experimental songs.
Umm. OK. I guess it could be about a romantic relationship but skz music is often open to personal interpretation.
Stray kids recommendations
Gods menu
Easy
Domino (if you watch domino don’t watch the music video bc it is only a minute long, look for a lyric video instead so you can hear the whole song )
Freeze
Back door
Miroh
Victory song
Stray kids is an eight member self produced group.
Also to recommend other artists I suggest somi she is a soloist and I recommend her song “anymore” it’s more of a slow song but the vocals are very nice, and since I don’t really know what genre you like I will just recommend you random stuff 😂
Savage by A.C.E
Illusion by aespa
Typa girl by blackpink
Clap by seventeen
INVU by Taeyeon
Slingshot by tnx
Strawberry cake by Xdinary Heroes (an actual band)
OMFG YES, i love xdinary heros with all my heart(as u can see from my Junhan profile pic). They are so talented vocally and instrumentally, also in rapping. Not to forget that they are heavily involved in the making of their songs!
@@Quack_jiseok frrrr bro. I feel as they are so underrated that’s why I’m recommending them 🤭😘
@@LasagnaLOV AS YOU SHOULD
i would give some of their other stuff a try you WILL find things you like AND they are completely self produced, like lyrics beats everything. like the members make absolutely everything.
I feel like you would like the song called ‘3racha’ it’s only 3 of the members in the group but they are the 3 who write most/almost all of Stray Kids’ music
Thank you for giving Stray Kids a chance, I hope you will try more of their songs ... personally, I think the whole Oddinary album is good ... as stated by others, Maniac is the title track, but Freeze and Lonely St are also good and completely different from Maniac or Venom... They are known for sort of bending or blending genres .... but I'm a Stay, so my opinion is 100% biased
They are lyric geniuses when you get into their B side stuff and the stuff they release directly to their TH-cam channel called SKZ Record.
Those songs they will sometimes break off into their different uinits or as individuals to sing and write.
Songs like
Secret Secret which
was written by Han and has to do with dealing with anxiety and hiding it
And Silent Cry
Which is a responding song to Secret Secret. It is about those watching you struggle and wanting to help you though you have not asked.
the deep end song has lyrics that I think most who hear it cry, ooh it's completely in English
please continue to check out stray kids!! this was just a bside, not a main title track from the album. Check out Thunderous and Gods Menu, their most popular songs :)
If you like unique beats you’d probably really enjoy their songs gods menu, back door, and manic
Thank you for your reaction to Skz. I like your honesty about what you enjoy and what you don't. Everyone is different and have their own preference which I understand. I look forward to seeing you react to more Stray Kids. Just an heads up, unlike a lot of other kpop groups, StrayKids produces MV for a lot of their B-Sides. Venom is actually a B-sides from their 2022 album Oddinary and their Title track is Manaic.
As people in the comment already stated, Skz are very experimental with their songs, heck they were debuted as an experimental group where the Leader, Bang Chan, hand-picked all his members, which is pretty much hardly seen. So I hope you get the chance to see many shades of SKZ in their music genre!
Why start off with venom tho😆... Well they produce themselves...
thank you for reacting to Stray Kids (can be abbreviated to SKZ)! I hope you react to them more!
this song has a kind of specific sound, so although I like it a lot, I understand why others might not like it. although I must say it could be a grower, so maybe you will like it more after a few listens.
Stray Kids write their songs themselves, mainly the producing unit called 3racha (pronounced as three-racha - wordplay with hotsauce sriracha - they looove word plays) and they like experimenting with genres, so if you dive a bit deeper you will find a whole variety of sounds from them.
if you want to hear the whole variety of their sounds, I recommend to check out the whole album where Venom is from. the album is called Oddinary (they love word plays, did I tell you? XD) and the other songs are maniac (title track, has MV), freeze (has MV), Lonely St. (has MV), Charmer, Waiting for us, Muddy water.
their most popular title tracks, which people usually recommend to start with are (in chronological order):
Miroh, God's menu, Back door, Thunderous, Maniac.
SKZ debut in 2018 and have around 150 songs in their discography. 3racha contributed to 99% of them.
Many songs of theirs don't have deeper lyrics, many songs have deeper lyrics and/or talk about mental health. some songs are very confusing, because they sound like a great song for shacking your body on a dance floor but the lyrics is actually super deep and rather sad (for example my beloved "silent cry").
You gotta listen to Stray Kids Gods Menu
its on my list :)
stray kids making music by themself.
3racha-producing line(changbin,han,bangchan)
🤍 Stray Kids! Enjoyed U 2 👏 Thank you for giving them a minute. It'd be lovely if you listen to more. They largely write ➕️ produce own music🎶🎵
Until next time ☮️🌸 be well.
👍👍God's Menu 💥Backdoor 💥Thunderous 💥 Maniac
Thank you for reacting stray kids more pls
I have another one coming :)
I must say, as a fan of stray kids myself I was somehow disappointed of how you didn’t like some parts but I glad you kept your review honest and still liked it
much love
I subscribed once you said you would probably listened to it again which tells me you are open minded.
Hyunjin is the one you didn’t like and happens to be my favorite. I could suggest you watch his solo dance Playing With Fire or his dance cover Post Malone’s Mottley Crew but it’s probably too early for that.
Please watch Maniac, he is the one with red hair.
Thank you.
much love
It's been almosttt an year since I've become a stay, my first was maniac and it was probably one of the easiest songs to catch up with your brain as someone who listens to them fir the first time.
Other thank maniac, if you want to listen to other bops then thunderous, red lights, drive (heavily auto tuned just for the way the song was made), The Sound (Japanese) and lonely st. are few of their best whereas for calm and healing ones, chill (both Japanese and kr. versions are available), secret secret (my personal fav skz song), winter falls, 24-25 (never knew a Christmas song would be my comfort song), sorry I love you, there (japanese) and more...
And it's fine if u don't get them at first because they are a group with an exceptionally high range of music genres I'm sure you'll find something exactly to your liking ❤
maniac is coming :) after I get back from my festival ill record it :)
@@RatedReviewsOfficial I'll be waiting 😁✨
the one you didn’t like his flow is hyunjin but he’s more of rapper than a vocalist even though he’s has amazing vocals too .
You should try listen to red light by two members of stray kids /bang chan and hyunjin
Maybe this song will change your mind about him 👌😊
I'd love it if you checked out some Monsta X. Their rap line is top tier. I would start with Rush Hour or Shoot Out, and then if you want to see more rap do Sambakja Triple Rhythm.
Appreciate your honest reaction but getting someone of the team out of the song is very rude because their not a single artist their a team you cant leave someone out of the team and kpop groups become family koreans have a diffrent point of view they call them brothers/sisters and actually enjoy ech others presense no one tries to outshine the other they do it together so its more like all together or no one
Thank for all kpop song reactions! And I recommend you ATEEZ. They're never disappoint
i added it to my list :)
im SHOCKED, you didn't like that part 😭, its one of my favourites, and I think is the most played part on the video lmaooo
Either way, it was very interesting to see a different opinion on it :], thanks for the honest reaction! , I would like you to react more of skz (if you want to ofc), since they like to experiment with different genres, so it would be nice to see you react to other songs of them, and have your opinion.
Um Hyunjin will never be out of the band. His voice is amazing
A lot more amazing songs to react to with Stray Kids. They do so many different types of songs. However, one of their biggest ones is God's Menu. Hope you react to more.
I feel like you're one of the few people that actually catches Seungmin's vocals the first time! He's one of the main vocals (though they're all really good singers). And I agree, I don't like Hyunjin's airy rap bit that much.. It's interesting for this one to be your first Stray Kids song haha; Maniac, Back Door, or Thunderous would've been my stronger choices to recommend
Venom is such an interesting song for a first reaction 😂😂 I feel like its definitely their song, its their sound, but its still so different from all of their other stuff. Id love to see a reaction to The Tortoise and The Hare, SLUMP, Victory Song, Double Knot, Charmer, My Pace, Streetlight (solo by member Changbin) or other b-sides, as that is where I believe the good stuff to be
Honestly I didn't like this at all when I first heard it but enjoy it now :)
It's a funny one to start with when brand new to them, many are saying their title tracks are the best but actually my fave SKZ songs are B-sides so you just have to explore and see what lands with you. You can't love all the songs and there's many of theirs that I wouldn't choose to put on even though they're one of my ult groups. But they have something for everyone as they are so versatile, and sooooo much music you can't get bored either.
I enjoy the fact that you say which bits you are less keen on (even though I disagree with those parts haha) as so many reactors are very vague or just love everything!
Just wanna say something... in kpop, you will always get many different voices/flows ect. and it often IS the charme that that group has... its like... you get many flavours in one song and i guesse you have to get used to the fast switch up?(that matches well now so... you should listen to gods menu by skz😂)
i like that you have your opinion and took the time to expand on it; maybe you’ll live secret secret, i didn’t like that one very much until i read the lyrics
much love!
More skz reactions please!!! 🎉🎉🎉
If you don't know stray kids and haven't watch their songs like maniac thunderous god's menu and red lights dn your really lacking behind😂 you need to watch them soon and also hyunjin's aotm and play with fire cover
Me vibing: 🙂
Him dissing Hyunjin:
Me: Okey mtf ill fight you!
Lol
I would say start with Gods Menu, Back Door and Thunderous by Stray Kids 😬 the more you dive the more you will be intrigued as they are self produces and the leader Bangchan hand-picked the members himself and they all rap, sing and dance
So it’s not so much that they’re separate artists lol they’re the same group. I feel like you should definitely check out more of their music bc there is way more incredibly lyrical songs and venom is the tip of the iceberg
From Stray Kids i like Maniac and Gods Menu … Love Felix deep voice
lots of comments for maniac :) its on the list :)
@@RatedReviewsOfficial please do Gods Menu! We would appreciate you diving deep into the lyrics on that song (its just so witty and fun) especially since it’s made with the concept, dance & music video in mind. Like it’s all connected 🔥
oh. hm. that's fine. doesn't hurt at all to hear someone say they want hyunjin out of the song :') all good
Also if u want to try KRock and JRock. I recommend The Rose and One Ok Rock respectively. For The Rose I recommend songs Alive, Back To Me, Red and Childhood to start. For One Ok Rock I recommend the songs Stand Out to Fit In MV and live is a good watch, We Are, and Renegades these guys sound great live and put on a show.
Also just side note if ur looking for unique KPop songs check out Colde Feat: RM song, Don't Ever Say; Love Me, So!YoON Feat: RM song, Smoke Sprite and Balming Tiger Feat: RM song called Sexy Nukim this band is Indie group btw. Mostly Hip Hop but, they call themselves an multi-national alternative K-pop group” that refuse to be limited by specific genres.
You should listen to Easy!! It really shows straykids strength in rap😁👍🏻
Они самые лучшие 🎉..и дискография на любой вкус ❤
I think Thunderous or Gods Menu should change the way u give your first impression about Stray Kids.
U should check out more Stray Kids and their 3 newer songs they are Megaverse, LaLaLa, S Class and u may like there more cutesy happy vibe song Case 143 and also I forgot song Circus I like a lot too. For older songs my hubby likes Gods menu btw this was my first song I heard and had him listen to it and he loved it too. He also enjoyed Thunderous, Maniac, and Freeze. Also Stray Kids collab with Tiger JK been listening to him forever since mid 90's with song called, Top Line.
But, one of my fav song is a collab between leader BangChan (Korean Australian, so is Felix, the rapper with blond hair with the deeper darker voice in this MV) and Hyunjin the guy u didn't care much for lol it's ok with song called Red Lights it's got a dark sexy vibe to it. But definitely worth a listen to at least once everyon
For straykids you should definitely react to either Miroh or my pace theyre a bit older songs but probably the best in my opinion if your looking for SMTH with great writing you should definitely listen to Hellavator PLEASE🙏🏼🙏🏼
Off topic but what days do you post I really like your videos and I want to keep up!
I try to post daily :) Sometimes life gets in the way but for the most part one video a day :)
In kpop, we call them "groups" or "artists", not bands. The term "band" is reserved for those groups who play actual instruments like The Rose, ONEWE, Day6, Hoppipolla, Lucy, NFlying, FT ISLAND, CN Blue, etc. Most of those bands are "idol bands" because they follow the structure of kpop groups for the most part. Outside of those bands, kpop groups are just called "groups" normally. In our community we almost have our own language, so if you want to sound like a fluent kpop fan, I suggest brushing up on some terms we commonly use.
It looks like you like vocal heavy songs? I’m sorry if I’m wrong I just watched another video of yours and I would recommend secret secret, sorry I love you, levanter , gone away, I am you, scars, hellavator(predebut), voices, And Mirror.
But for their title tracks I would recommend any of them. The one for this album was Maniac. Some more popular ones that alot of ppl reccomend for first time listeners is thunderous and God’s menu (both are about their confidence in themselves, so just be aware of the lyrics seem as tho they are bringing themselves up or boasting)
But honestly by skz Song would do they have so many songs so I can’t recommend all.
much love :)
I like that you added your own opinion but it was so sad to hear you didn't like my fav part of it 😭
Nooooo 😭😂
God's Menu is one to watch
To be honest I don't think you chose the right song to react to stray kids for the first time but I loved you reaction I definitely will be coming back to your channel and could you react to another song of straykids please!
Did he just say that Hyunjin's part kinda ruined the song??? 😳 Never heard that before 😂
haha
Me at the Hyunjin slander
If you want songs with a very deep mean take a look at some B sides that don’t have music videos like secret secret, silent cry, or songs from the noeasy album in general for full group songs for a meaning (the first 3 songs are pretty much an F U to the haters saying we are gonna do what we want and be who we want). They have an experimental song that was released called tortoise and the hare that was written by the youngest producer in the group Han jisung in about 15-20 minutes. They also have some Japanese songs (with Korean versions and a couple with English versions) that have a deeper meaning as well such as scars or slump (slump was written by Han jisung as well same as secret secret. Slump was written during a time when he was struggling with his writing and it’s actually what brought him out of his slump) (secret secret is a song that was written about his anxiety)
I found BTS first, and then Stray Kids. I love them, but this isn't my favorite. I enjoy the song, but other songs of theirs that I prefer are Back Door, Red Lights, Mania, Case 143, God's Menu, Miroh. Any of those I think are better "first listens" for Stray Kids. I look forward to more Kpop reactions from you! I would love to see reactions to The Rose (or even just their lead singer, Woosung), Ateez, Got7 or Jackson Wang. OOOhhhh and for something completely different, how about a Thai artist? Jeff Satur has an amazing voice! I recommend his collab with Shaun (a Korean artist), the song is Steal
The Show.
Also seeing your reaction , I think you'll like MAMAMOO ( female kpop group ) , probably try Aya by them
If you are interested in a more rockish sound and pretty voices, I'd recommend Dreamcatcher.
Some of their songs: the triology of Scream, Boca & Odd Eye which deals with cyberbullying and their two most recent comebacks Maison & Vision about protecting our home (climate change & war).
dreamcatcher is on my list :)
You should react to BTS Fake love it went crazy when it came out but then suddenly forgotten about definitely in their top 5 best songs out of the hundreds they have ❤
Then listen to "winter falls" by them
I do agree with your opininion that part in the song doesn't match with the rest I do like stray kids but I prefer other songs anyway
Uhh.. Well for the first reaction... You could have checked out Gods Menu, thunderous, Maniac....
okay you obviously like vocals in a song but always manage to pick the one with mostly rap😂😂
lmaooooo I don't do it on purpose I swear 😭
ofc its your opinion BUT the guy you spoke "bad" abt was hyunjin and that part you dont like is my fav part haha :.)
u should definitely listen to nct, their vocals are so goooood
Plz react to Gods Menu and Circus by Straykids
gods menu is on the list
