I can give you a brief story lore explanation for Side Effects for you. Side Effects & the Yellow Wood album are in the middle of the Cle trilogy. Yellow wood is the start of the road not traveled. in the Cle 2: Yellow Wood trailer (Which you didn't see) we see the members come to the conclusion that nothing they were doing had any lasting effect. All these times they were trying to change the system from within, didn't seem to stick. So they left. They decided to form their own path. We then have the Side Effects trailer1 (which you didn't see either) and it shows two sets of members. A bus pulls up & the driver looks like one of the authority figures from Miroh, with a hook tattooed on his hand. One set gets on the bus, using their one-way tickets "To The New World" and choosing comfort above change. One set stays at the buss stop. We follow the ones who didn't get on the bus & stayed. In Side Effects, we see them constantly searching. They set in motion the new paths & thus we now see two moons in the sky. They are driving over paths that they had made & had to go different ways. So many crossing trails. Sometimes they followed paths that others had already made, but not paved. Some were complete dead ends. All were hard. There is the line "It hurts more, because I thought it would be easy." This is for those who are trying to create a path in life that isn't the norm. They will have so many road blocks, so many people telling them it's just not done, and so many doubts about if what they are doing is right. The lore part at the end of Side Effects is just Hyunjin laying down by himself after the fight with Seungmin about the dead end. So the others gathered & helped him up. Then we see the key to the car thrown in the river. They left that path behind. This is also where roles start with the members.(I'm excluding Woojin, because his role transfers to Changbin when he leaves) -Chan is the leader, Key Keeper, and initially the holder of the compass, and later also watches of over the glitch. -Lee Know is the support. He is always somewhere in the background doing something to help the others. He drives vehicles. He provides emotional support. He is just always there. -Changbin is the balance & drive. (Balance was Woojin, but when he took it over he passed part of being the drive to Han) He is the one to settle arguments, and not pick sides. He is the one to encourage the others to keep going when they are exhausted. -Hyunjin is the Way Finder. It's his role to look for alternate routes. He looks at everything in a different way than the others. This will set him at odds with Felix & the others sometime as the best path isn't the most obvious sometimes. -Han is the motivation. He provides the encouragement to continue. He gives the reasons why they are doing what they are. Taking over as drive as well just expanded his influence. -Felix is the Navigator & compass keeper. He is tasked with knowing where they are going. He keeps them in the direction they need. He knows where they should be, but how they get there is often at odds with Hyunjin. -Seungmin is the cartographer/record keeper. It is his job to keep track of what has happened, where they have been, and to provide maps. You will always see him with either a notebook, a map, or a camera. This is why he was at odds with Hyunjin in Side Effects because he was making note of a dead end & tempers got high. -I.N is the hardest to place. But he is the GLITCH. He is the odd one out from everyone. From the beginning. In the I Am Not trailer, we saw him leave the bus when he saw his clone. This wasn't supposed to happen. He is the impossibility that starts everything. He will be constantly slightly out of sync with the others. He will be looking in a different direction. He will seem to hear things that the others do not. We are not sure if he was replaced, or was just not supposed to get off the bus. Glitches in the screens will happen more around him. Chan eventually starts keeping his attention on what they are doing. It will be his job to keep I.N from deviating from their path. I.N will show knowledge that he can't say and end up sad because of it.
Oh my gosh!!! More SKZ!!! So Side Effects is one of my favorite title tracks (top 5 Korean) and I’m so glad SKZ made this song. And I think it’s really cool that there’s more psytrance in kpop because of SKZ (17’s Maestro had the same bpm as the last bit of Side Effects). What I think is really interesting is how many Stays listen to this song to help with headaches and how many Stay babies can fall asleep to this song! I mean, I’ve fallen asleep listening to this song because something about the beats is meant to be soothing? Idk there’s some kind of science/psychology involved there that I know nothing about. (The Kingdom performance with this song is a favorite of mine) Awkward Silence and Get Cool are both stupidly adorable! You should definitely check out the live performance of Get Cool if you have a chance cause then you really get to see baby I.N in all his glory 😂 I love watching the other members’ faces when Chan hits the camera, it makes me laugh so hard, but this is the first time that I realized that he’s looking off camera at the staff after he hit it 😂😂 31:48 you can see Felix doing one of his Fortnite dances😂 You should do a video of the Japanese title tracks cause those are all fantastic too!!
I would love to see a reaction to The Tortoise and the Hare, following off of Side Effects as another experimental song with a lot of backlash! I personally adore that song 💕
Also. Slight correction on your SKZ lore. SKZ have been making "noise" music since the very beginning. Because noise music doesn't have to be loud & aggressive. It is actually labeled that because there is the use of unconventional sounds to make the music. Since the beginning SKZ have used sirens, roaring of tigers, breaking glass and many more sounds in their music. Side Effects is where they started REALLY experimenting with their sound. Levanter is where they declared they didn't care about what people would label them as, and Gods Menu was their song to solidify their sound as being THEM. That was where they decided that their sound was EVERYTHING all at once. Thunderous is where they fully embraced the "noise" music moniker. So many people just label anything that's loud, aggressive, or experimental as "noise" music. But it's more than that. Look at The Blue Man Group. Or Stomp The Yard. They are noise music groups, and their music is nothing like SKZ music. But all three of them are Noise Music groups, because of the way they produce their music with things that shouldn't work but do. Heavy Metal isn't noise music, but it is loud & aggressive. Same with hard rock. Unless it uses something that isn't a normal instrument to make music, it isn't labeled as noise music. Wagakki Band are experimental, because they mix traditional instruments & song structure with modern. But they aren't noise music. Stray Kids themselves even have a few songs that aren't noise music. Cover Me, I Hate To Admit, Red Lights, Leave, and Drive are all normal songs, to name a few. But the majority of their discography is noise music, because of the unconventional sounds used in their music.
