I feel like there’s multiple interpretations of CHEESE in this song. 1. Cue for smiling before taking picture: they’re gonna smile at all hatred thrown at them saying that they’re untalented group and their music is noisy. 2. Peace sign you make along with saying cheese (supported by finger gesture in the lyrics): they will still respect ppl’s opinions on them and continue to focus to explore new ideas and won’t let hate comments affect them as an artist in negative way. 3. Different kind of cheeses (ppl hv different tastes in music, and skz’s got wide range of menus in their discography): since antis been calling their music noisy, they will show/ emphasize the diversity of their songs in this album, and ppl may find the ones that suit their taste/ enjoyable but still hv the core SKZ color in it. In this way, they also showcase how versatile they are as an artist. 4. You will deffo smile by saying cheese when taking pic even if you’re in bad mood, thus you would make a good pic anyway (“you chew, taste, bite, enjoy so what’s the matter?”): although antis are hating on skz, these ppl usually will still check on skz’s work/ stream the song, talk about it in social media, spending their time to make a comment, it would only get SKZ more popular, and more ppl will check out their actual work and then most likely fall in love eventually lol. So SKZ might as well enjoy the ride. 5. AND THEY FRICKIN PUT CHEESE AS AN INTRO for Noeasy album, as in actual appetizer?! Bruh i bet their avg IQ is 150.
I-I what? I never thought of how multifaceted this song was?! That's insane. They're on another level as artists entirely. People should be studying them instead of criticising their music because that's literal genius. Pioneers of noise music like holy sh*t. We need more artists like Stray Kids in this industry.
skz are geniuses. for a casual listener, listing random cheeses seems odd but actually, those cheeses enumerated in the lyrics are still kinda safe to eat even for lactose intolerant individuals. it just basically says that even if you are lactose intolerant, or in this case “skz intolerant” because you hate their music, you will still find a song or two that you’ll enjoy.
Chan loves to troll the haters on his live streams. One time someone wrote in the chat that they didn't like "The Tortoise and the Hare", Chan played it anyways and was like "you mad bruh?"
Yup! They're basically calling out all the haters through Cheese! Here's what all the references are! Du du du : God's Menu Headache : Side Effects Pigeons and Magpies : God's Menu Crow : Awkward Silence (a skz song that incorporated the cawing of crows to show the awkward silences in conversations)
The only reference I missed is A-class vibes. I knew the others but that one stumps me. :) Which song is that from? I thought I'd heard all their songs.
4:23 fun fact - when they're singing about the fingers.. if you follow the backing vocals you'll end up with a middle finger :3 (if you don't you'll end up with a thumbs up 👍🏻)
it’s actually also funny bc when Felix said all these cheese types..he wanted to say that they have all kind of music and u still can enjoy them all even if u have lactose intolerance..bc all these cheeses types are edible for lactose intolerance ppl
Sheeple will never understand genuine talent. Genius is creating a new genre, blazing a new trail, not following a road that's already been paved. Felix listing the types of cheese is my favorite thing in this song.
another thing: felix starting the song sitting in a bunch of sticky notes full of criticism and hate comments. in the end they are dancing in snippets of the sticky notes. they came to destroy. and in the english translation (not dure about the korean lyrics) seungmin called himself a clown and we should fly together. a reference to stephen kings "it". collecting haters like victims down the rabbithole making them STAY. on of their best songs
"you keep hating, i'll be creating" reminds me of a line from a 3racha performance called Passion! Chan goes: "they always say the same excuses. while they're complaining, we're producing" ! definitely a performance to check out if you haven't yet!
just sitting here and giving likes to explanations about cheese. once again it's just a masterpiece from the music and genius side!!! thank you for the amazing video as always.
There was some line that caught my mind. from stay.. she/he said "If you like stray kids, you have good standard. If you don't like stray kids, raise your standard" I don't remember correctly but this was just cleverest thing I've ever read.
The magpie crow line refers back to awkward silence if I remember correctly.......back when they were supposedly cringe kids. Anyone who doesn't like skz doesn't know enough about things......this will forever be in my lexicon now!
Honestly, I’ve never felt inclined to subscribe to anyone’s Patreon until now! That’s how much I love your content (especially SKZ-related) and your love of music despite what many would perceive as an irreconcilable barrier; language. Good luck, and I’ll see you on Patreon.
your whole rant on your knowledge on music and how you enjoy skz music i felt in my soul as someone who grew up on classical music and is now a hardcore Stay✨💯( overall authenticity, creative beats, and their lyrical genius are few of the reasons why their music stands out... kudos to them honestly!! )
I love you so much!!! Your reactions are genius 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 As a 47 year old Stay, I often have to justify my love for their music, as people just don’t get it, but these boys are incredible and most importantly they are not afraid to be themselves! Stray Kids World Domination 📢
Cheese being a diss track for the haters is the best thing ever honestly! Their entire No Easy album was basically a "ya here we are, don't like it? we don't care" album and it's amazing! Literally NO ONE does it like Skz. Period.
Basically cheese is a diss track to the haters, Dududu is a reference to gods menu, the headache refers to side effects, when Hyunjin talk about his hair it’s because each time he changes his hair, every idol copies him
Fun fact: this is a dis to all their haters, if u pay attention to the lyrics they have the same as other songs. Ex: you find DUDUDUDU funny? It is a reference to GODS MENU- Ex 2: what's so funny about a headache? Making a reference to SIDE EFFECTS Give a listen to N/S by stray kids it is 🤌🔥🤌🔥
teddy, the way you just stare at the camera when felix started listing cheeses absolutely took me out ! a fun mostly unnoticed fun fact about this song: when they’re naming the fingers to put down, it ends in a thumbs up. but if you pay close attention, in the final chorus, you can hear han saying a different sequence of fingers, while chan says the main line. this sequence ends up with them leaving their middle fingers up! it’s my favorite thing about this song. just the quietest f*ck you to the haters.
So excited for your reaction! The song hits different even for Stray Kids! The more I listen to it the more I like it. You should check out Stray Kids "Any" and "Beware/Grrr" those songs are dope too!
New to your channel and loving your SKZ reactions 💗 I just wanted to throw out there that as a newer Stay, I've seen anti's use this song as an example of their "nonexistent talent". Even without knowing all the context up to that point, I could understand that this song wasn't about actual cheese and that those haters were doing exactly what they were being dissed for in the song. It makes me laugh so hard 🤣
Thank you for the reaction! Enjoyable and honest af as always. As you said, this song is essentially an f you to the haters who tell them that their music makes no sense and it's noise music. The Noeasy album was created for this. I connected "what's funny about a headache" with Side Effects (because of "mori apeu da"(my head hurts), but I might be reaching with this one. A funny thing that I definitely wanted to include, because it doesn't say it in the subtitles and I think it's hilarious: These two lines don't match in the lyrics because of the adlibs in the first one and are explaining two different hand movements: "Index finger (thumb), middle finger (index finger), ring finger, pinky, what? (🖕🏻) Index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky, put them down like, what? (👎🏻)" Also, I.N.'s concert "hana, dul, set, Cheese" is just I.N. going 😁 hana, dul, set 😑 cheese, and it is one of the best things I've seen in my life. This is one of my favourite hype/rage songs. Again, thank you for the reaction! I will have to browse and make notes of the videos you've done so I can actually recommend things. Hope you're well. Peace ✌🏻
I think my favorite part of this is when Chan says Index, Middle, Ring, and pinky finger, then fold them down. In the background, Han is saying Thumb and Index instead of Index and Middle. So if you follow Hans words, you would fold Thumb, Index, Ring, and Pinky. So telling everyone to flip off the haters. 😀
The part ‘what’s so funny about a headache?’ is because of the song Side Effects. The song says: ‘my head hurts’ 😁 so yeah, everything they say is because of part of the lyrics of s particular song. They don’t care about shit and that’s one of the things we love from skz, they do their own shit and we, Stays, are here for it 😁🙌🏻
What made me a Bini lover is Changbin's section in District 9 and solidified in Zone (3racha). The song TA just sealed the deal. I hope you'll check those out even if off camera. Love to hear your thoughts. Even if you didn't ask, my favorite 3racha song is Broken Compass. Gaah. I still play it before sleeping.
I love this song so much! Watching this video made me rebember the first time I heard it LOL it was on loop the whole day The thing with SKZ it´s that all of their songs are so good that its difficult to just listen a single song on loop
Du du du du du is referencing gods menu which some people would just say “oh stray kids are back with their noise” The headache is referencing side effects where they say 머리 아프다 (meori apeuda) which means I have a headache or more directly my head hurts. Which got a lot of hate for once again being “noise” and not “actual music” The magpies and pigeons are from gods menu again they got hate for this particular lyric because people didn’t understand why it was in the song and “seemed out of place” but the lyric was a metaphor for even people that are just passing by or casual listeners that don’t really listen to kpop would be satisfied with Stray kids music And the crow cawing is in reference to their song awkward silence which some people didn’t take seriously because it was a very different side of skz and was much more goofy and “childish” and they got hate for that You’re right this whole song is one giant fuck you to the haters and if this had been the first song you ever listened to it would make absolutely no sense without the backstory or knowing about the hate they get and it’s honestly one of my favorite songs because it’s such a a big fuck you. If I’m correct there was a video somewhere at a concert where during the part where they say fold your index, middle, ring, and pinkie finger (to make a thumbs up) I think it was Han that said fold your thumb, index, ring and pinkie finger (to hold up a middle finger) to really say FUCK YOU I saw it somewhere a while back but omg that video was soo funny.
So CHEESE is a song made for all the Stary Kids haters. The first line is asking the haters why they thought the DU-Du-Du in God's menu was funny and why they were making fun of it. Many haters also made fun of Side Effects which is where the next line about the headache comes from. The line in Side Effects translates to " My head hurts" or headache. This CHEESE was a song made to make fun of the haters (diss track essentially) and also to show the haters that they don't matter and that Stray Kids are going to keep doing what they want to do no matter what.
This is one of my favorites just because it's so hype and it's SO confident. Its Also SO GOOD LIVE. I got to see them in Newark and this song is pure hype for them and energy for the crowd. Bang Chan has a line in one of the songs "While they're complaining we're producing." So yeah. He has that covered, haha.
This song is basically a call out to their haters, actually the whole No Easy album is, also I think this song was at least maybe partly inspired by how Chan responds to hate comments stuff in a light hearted manner (If more STAYS know they can add info)
I absolutely loved ur reaction! Made my day!✨ Btw if u are going to react to MAMA 2021 on Patreon, I just want to let u know that their performance is broken up into 2 videos: 1) Cheese (intro) 2) thunderous (hero version)
The genius of using different types of cheese to dedicate to people who usually criticize your music but in this case they use as a reference that even if you don't like that kind of cheese you are addicted to it. Skz I don't need to be specific on this song as you can tell from the references they used (SIDE EFFECTS AND GOD'S DUDUDDU)
came late to comment this buuut... cheese is indeed, a fck u song. it has a lot of word play, inside jokes and things that make us STAY think that they actually see some of the hate they get specially on twitter. However, they made this song as a hint for haters, like they won't stop making this kind of music and that bad criticism doesnt affect them. I'll explain some of the stuff in the song: dududu is funny: people has always dragged god's menu for being noisy, and was called "construction music" (which they also made fun of in GM video) headache is funny: side effects was also dragged a lot back in 2019, and if you remember well, theres this part that says "meori apuda" which translates to "my head hurts". side effects talks about the consequences of pursuing their dream, but ofc twitter stans dragged the song for the loud noise. whats funny about A class vibes: this has various meanings but the one i saw was skz referring to their music build from 0, no samples taken, no other producers involved. A class compositions means all the song and lyrics were made by them, not from someone else. index, middle and ring finger: while they are singing this part, han is saying ad libs on the back, which form the word "middle finger up". translators had to check this twice but confirmed that it can be heard like it, so its a fck u to haters haha Deep in some parts of the MV: Han and the dinosaur: han made a joke about watching hours and hours of documentaries about reptiles, and also, he's scared of dinosaurs, so hes referring to that seungmin in IG live with eternal viewers: all eyes on skz, on what they're doing no matter if youre a fan or not you're watching them thousands of post its in the rom: a metaphor to all the things they are told, and also, looks like cheese slides, so s brilliant i think thats all. thanks for reacting!
CHEESE hace referencia a las críticas que tienen ellos y mencionan sus cancione El primer verso habla de GOD’S MENÚ Y SIDE EFFECTS por ejemplo. Si se presta real atención esto están haciendo con esta canción. A ellos les gustan los juegos de palabras y saber más de un idioma los hace invencibles, aparte de ser diferentes. Soy una gran fan de ellos. La primera canción que escuché hace 1 año atrás fue THUNDEROUS y me voló el cerebelo 🤯🤍 Por otro lado tus reacciones son geniales!!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
thanks for the nice words and for answering the stray kids, could you reply to the muddy water performance in seoul, nyc, chicago, anywhere because they performed everywhere 💕 я не знаю английского, но я попробовала)
so glad you loved this one!! when you get time in future you should react to M.I.A by skz - i think you'll LOVE the vibe of it! thanks as always for these reactions!
Cheese is one of my faves, purely for the fact that when it comes on in my car, my nonverbal grandson loves it and shouts ‘eeeeee’ whenever they say cheese
Me encanta el significado de la letra de cheese...siempre excelentes letras..además pienso en skz como un grupo ecléctico que hace de todo un poco...tiene muchos estilos experimenta con todo
I love to be different😂, I also never care what the people say about me😂😂, after i know STRAY KIDS, i just say : Do what you want to do(I dont care), Ha-na Dool Seht "CHEESE" (with I.N smile) to them,,, I love your reaction, Thank you # STRAY KIDS EVERYWHERE ALL AROUND THE WORLD YOU MAKE STRAY KIDS STAY❤
Would love to see you try out some songs from another kpop girl group. Think you might like mamamoo, Moonbyul has a wonderful rap style, think you'd also liked hwasa too. She's worked with Jessi on multiple occasions. They both also have their own individual songs which are a must hear too.
Binnie - breathes
Teddy - let’s watch that again
🤣😉
I will never stop praising that boy for simply existing 👏😂😂
@@TeddyGreyOSME TOO BRO ME TOO
“Anybody that doesn’t like Stray Kids doesn’t know enough things”
YOU TELL EM TEDDY - You’re right and you should say it lmao
“What’s so funny about a headache?” Headache here refers to “my head hurts” in the Side Effects
Also about crow and magpie bird. Crow from God's Menu lyrics and crow sounds at Awkward Silence song. They just jenius literally 😩
And the du du du in the line before that refers to Gods menu
Bang Chan has that line “ They always have the same excuses…While they’re complaining, we’re producing”
Not to spoil but he also included in the new 3RACHA track at the concert this weekend
MAXIDENT
Wow!!!!
I feel like there’s multiple interpretations of CHEESE in this song.
1. Cue for smiling before taking picture: they’re gonna smile at all hatred thrown at them saying that they’re untalented group and their music is noisy.
2. Peace sign you make along with saying cheese (supported by finger gesture in the lyrics): they will still respect ppl’s opinions on them and continue to focus to explore new ideas and won’t let hate comments affect them as an artist in negative way.
3. Different kind of cheeses (ppl hv different tastes in music, and skz’s got wide range of menus in their discography): since antis been calling their music noisy, they will show/ emphasize the diversity of their songs in this album, and ppl may find the ones that suit their taste/ enjoyable but still hv the core SKZ color in it. In this way, they also showcase how versatile they are as an artist.
4. You will deffo smile by saying cheese when taking pic even if you’re in bad mood, thus you would make a good pic anyway (“you chew, taste, bite, enjoy so what’s the matter?”): although antis are hating on skz, these ppl usually will still check on skz’s work/ stream the song, talk about it in social media, spending their time to make a comment, it would only get SKZ more popular, and more ppl will check out their actual work and then most likely fall in love eventually lol. So SKZ might as well enjoy the ride.
5. AND THEY FRICKIN PUT CHEESE AS AN INTRO for Noeasy album, as in actual appetizer?! Bruh i bet their avg IQ is 150.
omg I never thought of cheese like an appetizer at the start of the album, I love that added layer! such a good song ✨
Great analysis!
I-I what? I never thought of how multifaceted this song was?! That's insane. They're on another level as artists entirely. People should be studying them instead of criticising their music because that's literal genius. Pioneers of noise music like holy sh*t. We need more artists like Stray Kids in this industry.
skz are geniuses. for a casual listener, listing random cheeses seems odd but actually, those cheeses enumerated in the lyrics are still kinda safe to eat even for lactose intolerant individuals. it just basically says that even if you are lactose intolerant, or in this case “skz intolerant” because you hate their music, you will still find a song or two that you’ll enjoy.
Omgosh yes that's an amazing way to describe it
Chan loves to troll the haters on his live streams. One time someone wrote in the chat that they didn't like "The Tortoise and the Hare", Chan played it anyways and was like "you mad bruh?"
Yup! They're basically calling out all the haters through Cheese!
Here's what all the references are!
Du du du : God's Menu
Headache : Side Effects
Pigeons and Magpies : God's Menu
Crow : Awkward Silence (a skz song that incorporated the cawing of crows to show the awkward silences in conversations)
Also I believe the dinosaur reference is relating to their song 'chronosaurus' :3
@@mechronine6087 one of my favs!
and "you want to fly high with me" might be a reference to MIROH
The only reference I missed is A-class vibes. I knew the others but that one stumps me. :) Which song is that from? I thought I'd heard all their songs.
@@carriemorgan2704 absolutely!
HAS ANYBODY RECOMMENDED DISTRICT 9 TO YOU?? It’s a crime not to check out their debut song. They killed it on their 1st day pn the job lol.
4:23 fun fact - when they're singing about the fingers.. if you follow the backing vocals you'll end up with a middle finger :3 (if you don't you'll end up with a thumbs up 👍🏻)
it’s actually also funny bc when Felix said all these cheese types..he wanted to say that they have all kind of music and u still can enjoy them all even if u have lactose intolerance..bc all these cheeses types are edible for lactose intolerance ppl
I think you will like Muddy Water - Straykids, this song is so crazy ❤️🔥
I think he already did a reaction! It was pretty hype you should go check it out 🔥
@@v-ball1758 where is the vid i cant find it
He already reacted to it 😂
He has a playlist of Kpop reactions. Muddy water reaction is in that folder.
He already reacted to it, but it was taken down most likely, since Muddy Water got copyrighted on UA-cam (funny right?) and it was never recovered.
Sheeple will never understand genuine talent. Genius is creating a new genre, blazing a new trail, not following a road that's already been paved.
Felix listing the types of cheese is my favorite thing in this song.
another thing: felix starting the song sitting in a bunch of sticky notes full of criticism and hate comments. in the end they are dancing in snippets of the sticky notes. they came to destroy.
and in the english translation (not dure about the korean lyrics) seungmin called himself a clown and we should fly together. a reference to stephen kings "it". collecting haters like victims down the rabbithole making them STAY. on of their best songs
"you keep hating, i'll be creating" reminds me of a line from a 3racha performance called Passion!
Chan goes: "they always say the same excuses. while they're complaining, we're producing" ! definitely a performance to check out if you haven't yet!

Teddy: “it’s not even in my top 5 songs”
Teddy 2 minutes earlier: *banging his head so hard I’m worried he’ll get whiplash*
Cheese being a diss track for the haters is the best thing ever honestly! Their entire No Easy album was basically a "ya here we are, don't like it? we don't care" album and it's amazing!
Literally NO ONE does it like Skz. Period.
You should watch a live version. If only for IN’s “Hana, dul, set, *face drop* the vibes are immaculate
I.N was so adorable in this!!
Basically cheese is a diss track to the haters, Dududu is a reference to gods menu, the headache refers to side effects, when Hyunjin talk about his hair it’s because each time he changes his hair, every idol copies him
Straykids is in a special place in my heart

Just joined the patreon. Can’t wait to check out some more videos
New to your channel and loving your SKZ reactions 💗 I just wanted to throw out there that as a newer Stay, I've seen anti's use this song as an example of their "nonexistent talent".

Thank you for the reaction! Enjoyable and honest af as always.
As you said, this song is essentially an f you to the haters who tell them that their music makes no sense and it's noise music. The Noeasy album was created for this. I connected "what's funny about a headache" with Side Effects (because of "mori apeu da"(my head hurts), but I might be reaching with this one.
A funny thing that I definitely wanted to include, because it doesn't say it in the subtitles and I think it's hilarious:
These two lines don't match in the lyrics because of the adlibs in the first one and are explaining two different hand movements:
"Index finger (thumb), middle finger (index finger), ring finger, pinky, what? (🖕🏻)
Index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky, put them down like, what? (👎🏻)"
Also, I.N.'s concert "hana, dul, set, Cheese" is just I.N. going 😁 hana, dul, set 😑 cheese, and it is one of the best things I've seen in my life.
This is one of my favourite hype/rage songs.
Again, thank you for the reaction! I will have to browse and make notes of the videos you've done so I can actually recommend things. Hope you're well. Peace ✌🏻
I can”t believe I did not like this song at all until I bought the album and now you will always hear me singing it.
3racha has a line in Passion that goes "while they're complaining, we're producing"
I think my favorite part of this is when Chan says Index, Middle, Ring, and pinky finger, then fold them down. In the background, Han is saying Thumb and Index instead of Index and Middle.

He's so right too and Cheese is the very first track on the album they weren't messing around with their message
WOW IM SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS! THANK YOU TEDDY!
i think you will LOVE their japanese track 'ALL IN' ! if you dont mind please do a reaction to it!
Cheese is really one of my favorite SKZ songs, I love how smart the whole concept is.
You should see the live performance of this, it was amazing
ici au Québec cheeze est un mot que l'on dit pour prendre une photo....genre dites cheese pour avoir un sourire 😁
What made me a Bini lover is Changbin's section in District 9 and solidified in Zone (3racha). The song TA just sealed the deal. I hope you'll check those out even if off camera. Love to hear your thoughts.
Even if you didn't ask, my favorite 3racha song is Broken Compass. Gaah. I still play it before sleeping.
I love this song so much!
Watching this video made me rebember the first time I heard it LOL it was on loop the whole day
The thing with SKZ it´s that all of their songs are so good that its difficult to just listen a single song on loop
Du du du du du is referencing gods menu which some people would just say “oh stray kids are back with their noise”
The headache is referencing side effects where they say 머리 아프다 (meori apeuda) which means I have a headache or more directly my head hurts. Which got a lot of hate for once again being “noise” and not “actual music”
The magpies and pigeons are from gods menu again they got hate for this particular lyric because people didn’t understand why it was in the song and “seemed out of place” but the lyric was a metaphor for even people that are just passing by or casual listeners that don’t really listen to kpop would be satisfied with Stray kids music
And the crow cawing is in reference to their song awkward silence which some people didn’t take seriously because it was a very different side of skz and was much more goofy and “childish” and they got hate for that
You’re right this whole song is one giant fuck you to the haters and if this had been the first song you ever listened to it would make absolutely no sense without the backstory or knowing about the hate they get and it’s honestly one of my favorite songs because it’s such a a big fuck you. If I’m correct there was a video somewhere at a concert where during the part where they say fold your index, middle, ring, and pinkie finger (to make a thumbs up) I think it was Han that said fold your thumb, index, ring and pinkie finger (to hold up a middle finger) to really say FUCK YOU I saw it somewhere a while back but omg that video was soo funny.
I love this song bc its so fun to listen to as a stay. They are having fun with people who trash them! Awesome kings.
I could write paragraphs on how much I agree with you, but I'll just say... YES!!!
Finaalllly ive been asking you this for months
“Months” loool. I started reacting to Stray Kids less than 2 months ago kid 💀👀😂
So CHEESE is a song made for all the Stary Kids haters. The first line is asking the haters why they thought the DU-Du-Du in God's menu was funny and why they were making fun of it. Many haters also made fun of Side Effects which is where the next line about the headache comes from. The line in Side Effects translates to " My head hurts" or headache. This CHEESE was a song made to make fun of the haters (diss track essentially) and also to show the haters that they don't matter and that Stray Kids are going to keep doing what they want to do no matter what.
Чудова реакція! Дуже глибока і прониклива. Дякую!
This is one of my favorites just because it's so hype and it's SO confident. Its Also SO GOOD LIVE. I got to see them in Newark and this song is pure hype for them and energy for the crowd.
Bang Chan has a line in one of the songs "While they're complaining we're producing." So yeah. He has that covered, haha.
The whole MV is well thought of as well. The bikes, the cars, the numbers.... Everything
the text - Middle finger -> wow
5:57 TALK FACTS!!!!🧸
This song is basically a call out to their haters, actually the whole No Easy album is, also I think this song was at least maybe partly inspired by how Chan responds to hate comments stuff in a light hearted manner (If more STAYS know they can add info)
I absolutely loved ur reaction! Made my day!✨ Btw if u are going to react to MAMA 2021 on Patreon, I just want to let u know that their performance is broken up into 2 videos: 1) Cheese (intro) 2) thunderous (hero version)
Han in the back telling us to raise our middle fingers 👍🏽
OOOOH Mayfly over on Patreon.... Stray Kids and Ateez are my favourite kpop groups so I think I have to join to see that!! 😍
Not me so proud of myself for loving Stray kids while having zero knowledge of music. I genuinely like their music.
louder !! 💯
thanks for another great reaction!
That “fuck everybody else” pretty much sums up this song. They’re like I dig it so I’m good! I love it!!
The genius of using different types of cheese to dedicate to people who usually criticize your music but in this case they use as a reference that even if you don't like that kind of cheese you are addicted to it. Skz I don't need to be specific on this song as you can tell from the references they used (SIDE EFFECTS AND GOD'S DUDUDDU)
Mientras algunos los desprecian porque los envidian
yo adoro a STRAY KIDS y los considero genios de la música 🎶 ❣️ 💕
cariños de una Stay de Chile 🇨🇱
came late to comment this buuut... cheese is indeed, a fck u song. it has a lot of word play, inside jokes and things that make us STAY think that they actually see some of the hate they get specially on twitter. However, they made this song as a hint for haters, like they won't stop making this kind of music and that bad criticism doesnt affect them. I'll explain some of the stuff in the song:
dududu is funny: people has always dragged god's menu for being noisy, and was called "construction music" (which they also made fun of in GM video)
headache is funny: side effects was also dragged a lot back in 2019, and if you remember well, theres this part that says "meori apuda" which translates to "my head hurts". side effects talks about the consequences of pursuing their dream, but ofc twitter stans dragged the song for the loud noise.
whats funny about A class vibes: this has various meanings but the one i saw was skz referring to their music build from 0, no samples taken, no other producers involved. A class compositions means all the song and lyrics were made by them, not from someone else.
index, middle and ring finger: while they are singing this part, han is saying ad libs on the back, which form the word "middle finger up". translators had to check this twice but confirmed that it can be heard like it, so its a fck u to haters haha
Deep in some parts of the MV:
Han and the dinosaur: han made a joke about watching hours and hours of documentaries about reptiles, and also, he's scared of dinosaurs, so hes referring to that
seungmin in IG live with eternal viewers: all eyes on skz, on what they're doing no matter if youre a fan or not you're watching them
thousands of post its in the rom: a metaphor to all the things they are told, and also, looks like cheese slides, so s brilliant
i think thats all. thanks for reacting!
CHEESE hace referencia a las críticas que tienen ellos y mencionan sus cancione El primer verso habla de GOD’S MENÚ Y SIDE EFFECTS por ejemplo. Si se presta real atención esto están haciendo con esta canción. A ellos les gustan los juegos de palabras y saber más de un idioma los hace invencibles, aparte de ser diferentes. Soy una gran fan de ellos. La primera canción que escuché hace 1 año atrás fue THUNDEROUS y me voló el cerebelo 🤯🤍
Por otro lado tus reacciones son geniales!!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
I really really want you to react to District 9, a crazy debut from Stray Kids 🔥
Teddy grey on stuff is 1/3 music 1/3 philosophy and 1/3 straight vibes
"there he is, talented little focker"
Teddy, 2022
I just can't with you 😂
Amazing reaction. You would love another group from SK with big rap lines and more of a mature vibe - KARD! They are a coed group too :)
I'm with you! KARD is amazing, even Chan listen to them sometimes in his lives. I'm sure Teddy would like them.
Let’s go MAMA performance finally subscribed to your Patreon yay! Let’s do this
"Look at him. Talented little fucker" -TeddyGrey
thanks for the nice words and for answering the stray kids, could you reply to the muddy water performance in seoul, nyc, chicago, anywhere because they performed everywhere 💕
я не знаю английского, но я попробовала)
so glad you loved this one!! when you get time in future you should react to M.I.A by skz - i think you'll LOVE the vibe of it! thanks as always for these reactions!
Cheese is one of my faves, purely for the fact that when it comes on in my car, my nonverbal grandson loves it and shouts ‘eeeeee’ whenever they say cheese
Me encanta el significado de la letra de cheese...siempre excelentes letras..además pienso en skz como un grupo ecléctico que hace de todo un poco...tiene muchos estilos experimenta con todo
Thanks for your reactions. I’m all about “F#$K You” & doing your own thing. Love Stray Kids. Thank you again 🙏 .
Thank you so much Teddy!!🖤

Actually in the finger part they r describing flipping off haters lol
Otp - daily duppy 🔥🔥
Would love to see you try out some songs from another kpop girl group. Think you might like mamamoo, Moonbyul has a wonderful rap style, think you'd also liked hwasa too. She's worked with Jessi on multiple occasions. They both also have their own individual songs which are a must hear too.
You should react to SSICK, the lyrics, instruments, the rap, etc. is just 😤👌
