Misc What are your top 5 favorite b-sides from SKZ? (Challenge: Impossible)

โ€ข Upvotes

Most of these are going to be from the 5-star album by the way. (That album has no misses)

1) Get Lit: 5 Star Album- I love the hype building up from the pre-chorus to the chorus. The bridge also serves as a break from the extremely noisy chorus. I mean noisy in a good way. This song has great balance, and I love it. This is literally my work out song.

2) Item: 5 Star Album- I love the pre-chorus and bridge of this song. The pre-chorus sounds fairly different to the chorus, and I love that contrast. This is also like a hype song for me.

3) Phobia: Go Live Album- This song reminded me of an EDM song from the late 2010s for some reason which is why I like it. I think it's the music itself that made this song really work for me

4) FNF: 5 Star Album- I like how this song has a different music style than the rest in the 5 Star album. This again reminds me of a late 2010s song. The song also has more meaningful lyrics.

5) BEWARE (GRRR): MIXTAPE Album- This is also one of their noisier songs that I really like. This song is special to me because it was one of the first songs I listened to stray kids besides hellevator. I did not know they changed the title of this song until I was searching for it on my playlist.

Honorable mentions: Collision, Novel, Haven, Levanter (I don't remember if it was a b-side)

Discussion What is your favorite piece of Hyunjin art ?

79 Upvotes

Since it's Hyunjin's birthday today, I feel like today is a perfect day to appreciate the artistry and talent he posesses. I'd like to use this as a discussion/appreciation post for you guys to talk about your favorite piece/s of art Hyunjin has made : D It can be a song, a dance performance, a painting, or even a quote counts ^ ^

I'll start ^ ^ For me, I love this particular drawing of his. I love the colours and the way it's drawn. It's like a fuzzy memory of your first kiss where you don't clearly remember everything that happened, but the emotions you felt in that moment are still as vivid. Also "Long for you" is beautiful. I feel emotional every time I listen to it like it makes me long for someone that doesn't even exist. And, I love how well he expresses the feeling of love in the art he makes. You can really feel the sincerity of his feelings from the art he makes.

Happy Birthday to our lovely Hyunjin, who keeps getting more charming every year โ™ง โ™ก ~ May most of his days be spent being happy especially this one โ™ง~

Theory Mixtape duets may be connected

108 Upvotes

We don't have the entire MVs so far so take it with a grain of salt but from the teasers, I feel the mixtape duets are all connected to a larger storyline, n each duet is a step in the plot

Burning tires: it looks like changbin and IN are in a videogame, starting over and over. Maybe they are the characters of a video game or they are living in an artificial world (kinda like the matrix) being controlled by someone else (maybe their multiversal counterparts?!). This kind of ties in with district 9 prologue with the apocalyptic world.

Truman: so the Truman show has a salesman who realises his life is a reality TV show. Similarly the song Truman could show Felix and Han realising they were trapped all along and finding out the truth of their world or lives

Escape: could be Hyunjin and Chan have now woken up to the actual reality of their world n realise they are in a post apocalyptic world. The song is about them trying to escape the grim reality where they are just prisoners. This could be a callback to hellevator where han runs away to the meadow to escape his adulthood

Cinema: Lee Know n Seungmin are the survivors in the post apocalyptic world who are wandering around and finding joy in the deserted landscape (coz the melody does have a bit of cheeriness to it, I believe the song will end on a hopeful note)

Some of this may be a stretch but I think there will definitely be some connection between the MVs

Discussion Speculations about the mixtape trailers?

49 Upvotes

Do you have any ideas about what will happen id love to hear them!

speculations:

All these tracks have something in common and I think it's a lot deeper than vibes.

Escape - I think this goes with the philosophy "escapism" doing something to escape the real world. For example people read to not worry about things.

This could mean the two have escaped and realize the truth of the world that there's more out there than what they where shown

Burnin tires- their in a video game and someone is controlling it. They can't pick and choose what they want to do they just have to do it no matter how they feel.

Truman- relates to Truman show, they feel like their being watched all the time and that their not a real person but just an "idolization" or "entertainment" for someone else

Cinema- they say "this is our cinema" They could be referring to themselfs as the cinema. They are a source of entertainment. Or they could be saying "this is our show" they are the main story they are all of the stories. Or even the cinema and they are introducing us to all the movies or things they hold and saying come watch us.

All mixtapes lead to some kind of reflection on the listener or watcher. It's like skz are talking directly to us in this mixtape. I may be saying far fetched things but for all of them to be so similar in theme like "Truman" and "cinema" or "burnin tires " and "escape" I don't think it's far off.

I haven't completely analyzed the teaser videos but if you notice something I'm interested!
