There is so much happening in this song. It's a respectful slap back at the haters. The line in Cheese where Felix goes "Look. Why'd you say it like that?" is actually a reference to the survival show from before they debut. The episode where Minho was trying not to be eliminated & still messed up, Felix asked him why he messed up. And since he was still learning Korean, he did it in a kinda accusatory way. People constantly reminded him of this, saying that exact expression. We know he didn't mean it the way it sounded, but people seemed to like using that against Felix. Also in Cheese, where Han is running from a dino, is a reference to their song Chronosaurus. In that song, they likened time to a monster. They used chrono for time, and a modification of the Kronosaurus. (Which is a type of pliosaurus that's fossils were found in Australia.) People also had a lot to say (hate) about that song too....Which sucks. Because it's one of my fave songs. Cheese itself is a rather interesting concept. "Smile for the camera. Say cheese." How often do we hear/say that? Stray Kids know that anytime they are outside, there will be cameras. Sometimes they will have to put on a smile whether they want to or not. I.N has said in old interviews that he smiles so that people won't worry, especially his members. He has also mentioned in some vlog or another, that when he was in elementary school his classmates told him he looked too scary & he should smile more to not look mean. So that is why we rarely see him without a smile. He has been doing that since he was small. So in this video, whenever they smiled for "Cheese" it was rarely a smile that reached their eyes. You notice that at the last "cheese" where they were gathered around the camera, as soon as they said that their smiles fell & they looked disappointed & disgusted as they walked away. The only time they looked truly happy was when they were together & running through the shredded post-its. (Which were almost all things people have said about them. Annoying. Loud. Bad leader. So many things that have been sent to them in hate. So what did they do? They papered a room, they wore them, they fought them, they shredded them into confetti to run in.)
This is one of my favorite songs!!! Well, the whole Noeasy album is a masteriece. Cheese is a diss track. The song has so many references, double meanings and inside jokes that even Stay had a hard time deciphering it. The entire Noeasy /noisy album is a response to the haters who said their music was noisy. It has part of the lyrics of songs that were criticized as God`s Menu and Side Effects The Sticky notes have hate messages written on them The part where they mention the fingers also changes the meaning if you pay attention to the aldibis Also the types of cheese that are mentioned are the ones that even the lactose intolerant can eat. Among other references. It's skz's a-class humor way of dealing with their haters. Thanks for this video ❤ and welcome back
@@Mattablesyesssss It names the fingers, then they say fold each finger leaving with uh…that finger lol It’s a literal f u to the haters lol so creative
@@Mattables They are, like for real, I didn't expect to like them as people as much as I love them as artists, they are so nice, so funny, always looking for each other, for their fans, they are trying to break down so many toxic costumes that are so normal in the industry, I not only recommend their music, I hope you have time to check a Guide (even if it's long, all STAYS will watch it alongside you) or even some of their cute, funny or wholesome moments. You too seem so delightful as well , I guess nice people attract nice people.
Post-it (Sticky notes) while talking about social media and haters. It was a very creative and original way to say they don't GAF about what people say about them and the POSTs they publish.
Would you consider making a StrayKids playlist 🙏? It'd be easier for us to see what you've already reacted to so we can make recommendations 🙂. I recommend their newest Japanese mv that just came out called "Super Bowl". I think you'll really like it 😉.
The sticky notes are comments from haters. Sticky notes are basic throwaway trash. Like...telling the haters that their comment is cheap and lost in the pile of comments they get. They aren't even paying attention. 😅😅
I feel you on trying to take in Stray Kids content when you have ADHD... I usually have to go back and watch things four or five times before what is actually happening in the MV starts clicking for me. Most of their videos have something deeper going on with the story or the themes, but I get SO distracted by the fashion on the first watch lol it's really ridiculous. But that's why I love KPop - it's basically tailor-made to scratch that overanalyzation itch. The content is just so... all-encompassing, it's perfect for ADHD tbh. And yeah, basically all of KPop is like that, although Stray Kids really takes it to the next level in terms of production. You should look at some live performances, dance performances and dance practices! They are PHENOMENAL dancers and live performers and the MVs, while great, don't really capture that at all. You tend to see more of their personalities in the dance practices, too. For a lot of their big title tracks, they'll put out multiple dance practice videos - a main one that actually focuses on showing off the dance itself, and then often they'll have a costumed version with more elaborate camerawork, usually on a theme, and then sometimes also a "Lovestay" or "Heart" version in which they throw in as much cheesy, cutesy fanservice as they can possible manage. A lot of their tracks have relay dance performances too, which are kind of a newer thing in KPop and very fun. Some reactors will just react to a dance practice, a dance performance (like the Studio CHOOM Be Original series) or a live performance right after reacting to the MV in the same video, and I think could be a really cool way to experience more of the content without clogging up your schedule too much.
So glad to see you back on the SKZ train. ;) Their songs always have a deeper meaning. This one is a diss track. The things they are saying are things people say about them and they are just smiling and saying cheese for the camera. They are making a joke out of their haters. I didn't like this song much when I first heard it but the more I listened and the more lyrics I read the more I loved it. Cheese is now one of my favorite songs.
I just marathon-ed your SKZ content - I really enjoy your reactions; pauses & all! If you already think they're adorable, I'm absolutely excited for you to start exploring their personality content. As far as music videos, I think you'd probably enjoy these (no closed captions since they're Japanese releases): "The Sound" "Social Path" For videos with a lot of personality: "Surfin'" (a smaller unit song) "Time Out" "Christmas Evel" Older MVs that have their former 9th member (there are hard feelings in the fandom around the former member, just fyi). But, you can see how adorable they were when they were younger & the songs are great!: "Hellevator" (pre-debut MV) "MIROH" "District 9" (for baby Felix w/ attitude -- Their debut MV)
So glad you're back!! Cheese is a song that you can enjoy on its own, but once you get the references and the real meaning, it becomes a whole new track. I hope you can continue doing more reactions to SKZ, I just love seeing you enjoying their music, and that 10% Felix. You should try Topline from their newest album or Easy one of my personal faves
Really liked your stray kids reactions and was waiting for a new one...I don't really pay attention to the lyrics when I listen to music...either I like it or I don't...I can read them and remember the gist of it...cheese is for the haters and love it. Most songs have a deeper meaning, but the mv is fun...might be an idea to also read them...:) I'd recommend you to start from the beginning and go from Hellevator, but...here are the songs/M/Vs I'd recommend for stray kids, in no particular order: blueprint, airplane, miroh, the tortoise and the hare, voices, n/s, the view, astronaut, district 9, grrr, yayaya practice, questions, boxer, get lit, top line, top, scars, placebo, my pace, fam (Japanese snd korean), levanter, voices, double knot, victory song (M/V and mama version)...all practices...all street M/Vs....
Welcome back!😀 I’m pretty sure I became a Stay because I watched one of your Stray Kids reactions. LOL The last three months of my SKZ obsession have been a whirlwind of awesomeness thanks to you. 🥰. You should listen to, Hello Stranger, Freeze, Circus, Side Effects and Charmer…to name a few. 🩵
This was a song for their haters! ❤

HOW DO THEY HAVE HATERS!! They seem so delightful!!
@@Mattablesyesssss

Also, they say 1-2-3 Cheese, and the list of cheeses is the same with syllables: Bleu (1) cheese, Cheddar (2) cheese, Parmesan (3) cheese, Cheese!

DUDE your nails are so pretty. Loved the reaction. Do more stray kids reactions please it's so much fun to watch

Can you imagine being assigned to place all the post it notes… I wonder if paper cuts were successfully avoided.
Definitely more Stray Kids!
So happy to see more SKZ!! Really liking the new background too.
YEAH STRAY KIDS CONTENT!! (I dont care that its 3 am at mine, but im still gonna watch🤭🤭)
This song is THE DEFINITION of a 🖕 to all haters. I love it ❤

I agree with your percentage breakdown 😂
Woooh back at it !! New Super Bowl Japanese version is pretty fab ☺️
I just marathon-ed your SKZ content - I really enjoy your reactions; pauses & all!
If you already think they're adorable, I'm absolutely excited for you to start exploring their personality content.
As far as music videos, I think you'd probably enjoy these (no closed captions since they're Japanese releases):
"The Sound"
"Social Path"
For videos with a lot of personality:
"Surfin'" (a smaller unit song)
"Time Out"
"Christmas Evel"
Older MVs that have their former 9th member (there are hard feelings in the fandom around the former member, just fyi).
But, you can see how adorable they were when they were younger & the songs are great!:
"Hellevator" (pre-debut MV)
"MIROH"
"District 9" (for baby Felix w/ attitude -- Their debut MV)
Thank you!! I actually just recorded social path! And I’m excited for the one for next month ❤️
Yes ‼️ I like people who like Felix 🥰.
So glad you're back!!
