The brilliance of Stray kids 3 of the members Bang Chan, Changbin and Han aka 3Racha ARE THE PRODUCERS they are the production team. All members help with writing songs and lyrics and each, and every member can do everything they can all dance they can all sing they can all rap. But 3Racha have a majority of the production credits, songwriting and composing of all of Stray Kids music.
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Deep End and Unfair are his solos. He's the only one who sings - they layer his voice on itself for the harmony. They are beautiful and sad, ballad-ish.
"Ladies and Gentlemen: We got him." The Felix Effect is almost as dependable as the law of gravity. @YesterdaysYouthTV I, also, do not usually go for the obvious attractive person. Felix is something different, though, with a unique combination of masculine/feminine features AND behaviors which I find irresistable. He aims for a "unisex" image and regularly wears what are traditionally considered both women's and men's wear. Felix also models/does runway for women's wear, wants his hair as long as possible, etc. So, there is some subverting expectations there. Felix gets both hated and loved for it. Then there is the extraordinary patience and kindness, the voice, the dance, the volunteering with UNICEF...I could go on. Point is: Felix isn't just pretty. There's a lot going on there and I think you clocked it, even if it was subconscious.
Ty for saying this! I get so frustrated with fans always telling new people to just wait until they "get used to" felix bc they will then want to switch biases. Felix is special. He's way more than a visual with a deep voice, and the idea of dropping him when the novelty wears off really saddens me. His personality is gorgeous. He is a trendsetter in open-minded kindness and positivity. He's the one we all ( including SKZ themselves) go to for warmth and unconditional love/support. I have 100% also learned to love and appreciate all 8 members bc they are ALL special, but i will NEVER get used to the pure beauty of felix.
Kitchen - cooking up new tracks Scientists - experimenting with sound Construction - building beats Race track - racing past the competition They went out through the Backdoor at the end. Backdoor is another banger. Recommend next.. Thunderous Chk Chk Boom Maniac Actually his voice does go deeper 😅 he also has a really nice falsetto. Yes you should totally learn some of their choreo. Definitely check out their dance practices.
@@YesterdaysYouthTV They're all dancers and have such amazing Choreography, so watching the Dance Practice's is the great way to showcase it. You don't have to be a dancer to appreciate the skill they(& other kpop groups) have. They're just so fun to watch. They put so much work into their music/dancing, so that's why I love to watch the Dance Practices & Making off(Behind the scenes) videos.
Welcome to the Stray Kids rabbit hole. They actually produce and write about 99% of their own music that is why when you hear a Stray Kids song you will hear their own signature sound/style. You can turn on the captions for the lyrics. And I would definitely recommend learning one of their dances.
@@YesterdaysYouthTV There are several dances that are really fun to perform, but they all have their own level of difficulty. I would say for easy levels, go for "Maniac," "Easy," or "Case 143". Intermediate levels can be "Thunderous," "Miroh," or "Back Door." The hard level includes "Domino," "Lalalala," or "JJAM." I would definitely recommend that you check out their MVs first. Some of the songs have either Performance Videos or Dance Practice Videos that can help you learn the steps. I hope you have fun with this!!!
@@gisellemartinez1275 There are channels that break the dances down into steps and then run you through them with slow speed increases so you really learn them. I'm using that as my PT, with the blessings of my care team, and hope to build up my endurance this way - more fun than a treadmill and defintely a workout!
THEY are GODS MENU. They have something for everyone. They are highly competitive, no, they are pioneers and leaders. They are always cooking, creating, experimenting, building and bringing us new things. Hence, the kitchen, lab, construction site and race track.
Some of the best writing advice I've ever heard is that if you're going to subvert your audience's expectations, make sure it feels surprising but inevitable, and make sure it is more satisfying than what they thought they wanted. Stray Kids ALWAYS delivers on this principle musically. I love it every time a reactor with metal knowledge reacts to these guys! It always brings something extra to the reaction for me! YES to learning a SKZ dance! Megaverse, Easy, Side Effects, Venom, Freeze, LaLaLaLa, and Giant are some m/v recommendations for today!
Since you mentioned anime, they have several Japanese albums. They also have several OST's for the anime Tower of God. They also have an OST for the second season of Arcane on Netflix.
@@YesterdaysYouthTVFor Tower of God, Season 1 has 2 songs. 1. "TOP", which has an 'UNVEIL : TRACK' MV & a Japanese ver. MV. Both MV's are similar, using a lot of the same choreo shots, but the 'Unveil: track' has more Choreo shots & the JPN has more MV(different set) parts. Still recommend both. 2. "SLUMP" has an animated/recording MV, which I do recommend, but I would also Highly Suggest/Recommend their "Stray Kids - SLUMP -Japanese ver.- / THE FIRST TAKE" performance. 'The First Take' is a Japanese UA-cam channel where artists perform a song live in one take in a white studio with only a microphone. Both songs have English version, but no MV's Tower of God, Season 2 also has 2 songs & I think their the Opening & Outro's(could be wrong). "NIGHT" & "Falling Up". They also have English ver. Stray Kids & Young Miko 'Come Play' Lyrics [Arcane Season 2 OST]. No 'official' mv(just fanmade), just the "Visualizer'. You do hear part of the song in the 'Arcane: Season 2 | "Come Play" | Series Trailer | Netflix'.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. It never ends 😂 The second cutie you noticed, other than Felix, was Han 😊 You mentioned wanting to get more into their lyrics. Han (and the rest of the members) is an amazing lyricist, so you will definitely not be disappointed. As others have mentioned, the "producer" is the group themselves. Chan (the group's leader), Changbin (the rapper from the beginning), and Han are the main production team of the group. They write, compose, mix, and produce basically all of their music 🩷 Can't wait to see more SKZ reactions 😊
Felix is the gateway drug. Then it might shift to best leader Chan then settles on someone. 😅 Many people's bias changes almost on weekly. 😂 Most of us are OT8: They are all great. 😊 Me; I am biased to anyone of them on any given day with a heavy tendency to LeeKnow. 😊
@@KylieIsOverIt LOL Felix got me in Chk Chk Boom, then I saw God's Menu and haven't turned back. I'm OT8 - it took very little time before I figured out how talented and wonderful they ALL are. If it weren't for Hugh Jackman, I never would have clicked, but I am not regretting a second. My only regret is not finding them sooner.
STAY like making the next person even more infected than they were, it is the best and healthiest virus to catch. Such a great community, we're proud of our boys and don't compete to be the no.1 fan - we all are.
@@YesterdaysYouthTV ua-cam.com/video/SsaaldZ-bCA/v-deo.htmlsi=BVPpTwtAjo7vXAWK That’s a good SKZ guide for learning about the members and about SKZ as a whole, I highly recommend
Love how interested in music you are! Your insights are great❤. God's Menu is basically a statement to people who are haters or new to stray kids. They literally have everything on the menu, so everyone should be able to find something that pleases them. The visuals in the mv show them: chaotic in the kitchen (creating their own special sauce/genre); in the lab experimenting (mixing and blending genres is their specialty); at a construction sight (they work VERY HARD to make their own music); and on the racetrack (they are highly competitive and constantly pushing the limit). For lyrics/ translations, there are usually subtitles for the mvs, but i recommend looking up the color-coded lyrics made by fans for each song. They're an invaluable tool bc they also show who's singing. You are so on point in noticing that stray kids' line distributions in songs are deliberate. They 100% use their voices like instruments and another layer of sound production. As far as dancing goes, don't be afraid to! There are dance practice videos for a lot of their songs that you should watch ( including this one). Their group choreo is freaking amazing. Ty for another reaction!!!❤
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Cheese, Thunderous, Victory Song (I think), ... they have a bunch of them. I put the album "NoEasy" - a play on 'noisy' - as a bunch of diss tracks because most of the songs have something to say about how they are in the lead, they beat their competition, and they don't care what you think because they are having fun and you can go off. The lyrics for their music are next level. The percussive beats drive - and I'm a former drum player (they run the gamut from traditional to adding bird song and door creaks/knocks into their music) - it's seriously amazing. And then they go off and say something like "I'm a 5 star Michelin"; "Wooah, I've never felt this way before", like ... seriously? Me, too, dawg.
@YesterdaysYouthTV they have received a metric ton of hate in the kpop industry bc they don't fit the mold. Thus, they have a lot of clever diss and flex songs. They still manage to do it with class, though. At the end of the day, they are truly humble, kind people.
I have loved these guys for over two years now. I discovered K-pop late in life. I'm 54 . I've seen them in concert and it is Amazing! For a baby Stay I would recommend Slump, Venom and The Tortoise and the Hare. And 3Racha. Oh, and Ta. Ok, I'll stop. No I won't...Winterfalls.
The official captions tend to be pretty accurate, at least on the MVs. Lol, this is not even deepest Felix can go. I think Victory Song (which is an earlier song) is the lowest or one of the lowest he's ever gone. He goes pretty low in Megaverse and Lalalala, which would be a good ones for you to check out next.
Check out the Megaverse music video and Bounce Back (one of their new releases; no music video). Ace songs, major metal vibes, and the Felix Effect is strong in them!
Felix is just art himself. He is ambassador for Louis Vuitton and currently the 7th most impactful fashion influencer in the WORLD. He went runaway for LV last year and loves to wear unisex style, which suits him so well. Felix has a baritone voice, he can go very high like falsetto and very low like bass. Also he is ambassador of Unisef and helps children not only using generous donations, but he went to Laos and made a volunteer work by himself on his rare vacation Another guy you was pointed was Han. He is incredibly talented in all aspect of music. He can hit woman's register and rap like a GOD and his lyrics is the deepest in SKZ discography. Ahahah I am just proud mom here, I love all of them very much
Oh boy! You need to react to so many songs!! Freeze, venom, falling up & night(ost's for tower of god season 2), LALALALA(they also have a rock version that is awesome), and Megaverse. As rock/metal head they have a lot of rock inspired songs and are definitely heavier than typical kpop groups. I think you would enjoy some of their older songs like Beware(previously known as grr), district 9(debut song), hellevator(pre debut song), and my side. If you really want to hear Felix's voice go super deep victory song!! Also, great thing about stray kids? These guys write, produce, and compose close to 99% of all of their music. They have a production unit called 3racha and it consists of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han.
Oh my goodness how could I forget about battleground?! They have so many great rock inspired songs and I automatically go to a lot of their older stuff lol
Their B-sides are full of treasures! This is going to be a long list of recommendations lol My Favorites - Easy (watch their dance practice too!) - Domino (use color-coded lyrics, dance practice video is amazing) - Taste (Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix aka the performance group, Danceracha) - Hall of Fame - Cover Me (ballad) - Story That Won’t End (Must watch the live version!) - Bounce Back Title Tracks (not full list) - God’s Menu - LALALALA - Maniac - Case 143 - Thunderous - Chk Chk Boom - Back Door - S Class Hype & Rap Songs - Topline ft. Tiger JK - Freeze - Megaverse - Item - Mountains - Christmas Evel (Funny anti-Christmas song) - 3Racha (by 3Racha, Stray Kids production team) - Muddy Water (Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, and Felix aka Stray Kids’ rap line) Ballads/Slower Songs - Leave - Secret, Secret - twilight - Winter Falls - Youtiful (song dedicated to Stay, fandom) - Waiting For Us (Bangchan, Lee Know, Seungmin, and I.N aka Stray Kids vocal line) Older Songs (but still awesome) - District 9 (Debut) - Double Knot - Victory Song - Side Effects - Miroh OST (original sound tracks) - TOP (Tower of Gods anime) - Slump (Tower of Gods) - NIGHT (Tower of Gods - Falling Up (Tower of Gods) - Slash (Deadpool & Wolverine) - Come Play (Arcane) Japanese Releases (MVs often don’t have English subtitles) - Giant - Social Path (ft. LiSa) - Circus - The Sound - Battleground For any songs without MVs, check out the color-coded lyric videos
I really like your reactions, keep them up! Stray kids rabbit hole is DEEEP. They're also extremely funny. I like your knowledge on music. And YES to learning a choreo lmao
I also love listening to metal, and before I found out about Stray Kids I only listened to metal. All I can say is that they really have something on the menu for every taste. As a metalhead, I recommend listening to Hall of Fame, Battleground and Rev it Up (solo by Felix) - there are no Mvideos for these three songs, there are only live versions (5-Star Dome Tour) and it’s just fire! I also recommend Come play (OST for Arcane League of Legends), Slump, Falling Up and Night (OST for Tower of God) I also like Hello Stranger, although for some reason it is rarely recommended - it is also an OST for the film + the OST for Solo Leveling Season 2 was recently released - ReawakeR (LiSa feat. Felix) As for the other recommendations, they are standard - all titles and the most popular b-sides (Stray Kids have no bad songs, you can't make a mistake): Thunderous, Megaverse, Lalalala (there is also a rock version, but without a video), Back Door, Maniak, Venom, Freeze, Chk Chk Boom, Mountains, JJam, Giant, Circus, Case 143, Get Lit, Super Bowl, Topline, Social Path, Give me your TMI, Super Board, The Sound, Easy, All in, Cheese, Domino, Christmas Evel, Scars, Walkin on water (Slump, Scars and Case 143 have a clip, but I also recommend watching the first take version, I think it will be interesting for a musician) From the older one (different in sound - the lyrics are more straightforward, the music is more aggressive): Hellevator (pre-debut song, their very first video), District 9 (debut song), Grrr, Miroh, Double Knot, Victory Song, Side Effects, My Pace There are no clips, but rap fans should like: ITEM, Maze of Memories, Muddy Water, 3Racha, Bounce Back, U. What else can I add: FAM - song to meet the members (text is important)
Hall of Fame ua-cam.com/video/8o-uw7q5f34/v-deo.htmlsi=rWIWkN1THmR05Y6S Battle ground ua-cam.com/video/HP2_M4LVmzA/v-deo.htmlsi=mFJ-TVhQL4e6c4Sc Rev it Up ua-cam.com/video/Di4R7bkhbF8/v-deo.htmlsi=jRqEk9VccHYeczZi
YAY!! The Felix Effect is a canon event at this point. God's Menu is saying that Stray Kids has whatever you want on offer and that it's god-tier (which is correct). They have their own genre named "mala taste" meaning "all" taste, they have songs in pretty much any genre at this point. So the kitchen is them "cooking," the lab is them "experimenting," the construction site is them "building," and the race track is both their "drive" to keep going, but also it's them passing everyone and "winning." It's funny you watched S-Class first cause S-Class does some call backs to God's Menu at the beginning when Hyunjin breaks the mirror in the street and there are random people with horses, chefs, etc. 08:08 It can and it doooooessss - try Maniac next. If you want to really get Felix's range, listen to his solo song "Deep End" it's RIDICULOUS
thanks for reaction! their latest Korean comeback is "walking on water" and latest Japanese comeback is "Giant", please check those out as well! also fyi Koreans are not as strict as Japanese. you can play the whole song unblurred and with less commenting and you will not get blocked. I know, it is always dangerous with Japanese artists, but Koreans treat reactions as free promotions, so don't worry too much when reacting to their music videos :). only live performances (uploaded on other channels e.g. MNet) might get blocked.
I was a full on metal head turned Stay. I have developed so much love and respect for Stray Kids over the last couple years. Each and every member brings so much to the group. I hope you get to dive deeper into them! 🔥 wonderful reaction!
Also I recommend turning on the subtitles when you watch the MVs the stray kids subs are pretty accurate and you’ll really understand a lot more what is being said.
Kpop fandoms are very passionate i hope it doesn’t scare you off we just know a lot and want to share it😭❤ But as for different groups i also recommend- ateez -for noise music as well (skz besties!) xdinary heroes - rock/metal (band - they play their own instruments but they all sing) OnlyOneOf (not very popular group but very unique and artistic with a very experimental sound and that is why i think you would like it, they also have a beautiful massage and a story about the lgbtq throughout their music and in korea that isn’t common and it’s even frowned upon so probably a huge reason why they aren’t as popular) and as for girl groups (G)I-dle (more pop rock and alt pop with amazing production)
i love watching people fall into the skz rabbit hole because this was also me back in july and now i’ve been to one of their concerts😂 truly one of the most unique kpop group i’ve listened to. I’m so excited for more skz content hehe
10:06 i think you'd love watching the behind the scenes of them in the recording booth. Where they write/compose/produce/arrange their own songs, usually in the "making of" videos it shows the leader, Bang Chan, directing the other members in the booth, saying things like "okay do that line again but I want the note slightly higher this time" "again but I want x emotion in your voice" "again but this time make it sound more like..." etc, it's a really fun and interesting process to watch
Oh.. damn near forgot that you love anime.. stray kids did a song called "come play" that I love. And "chk chk boom" has some cool marvel moments and the song "slash" is in the new deadpool movie.
In this song God's Menu is theor music. They are cooking their music here in their own way. Very uniq and tasty same time. Defferent framese show what they are doing like , Kitchen for making music Lab for testing Construction area for concepts and building their music Racetrack for competition And Girls for Collaboration ❤
@@YesterdaysYouthTV If you want to see Felix's range, try 'Deep End'. I know other's have told you this, but he's the only one singing. Solo song, no MV, just audio. Just a little heads-up. Sometimes, with songs without MV's, some fans will make FMV(FanMade Video). They'll use past MV's & clips to make it so they will have spoilers for MV's you haven't seen. & annoyingly, some won't say they're FMV & they'll put 'Official' in the title & on the video. So it can be confusing to new-fans. We(in chat) will typically say if it's an MV or Audio. If we say it's just audio then that's all there is. Sometimes they'll have 'Visualizer', but those will be on official channels. The Channel is the easiest way to tell what's really 'official'.
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Just react the way that feels right for you. You can take suggestions, but only do them if you think it's a good idea. If you start changing to make other's happy, then the reactions will stop being real/genuin. Personally, I'm not a fan of a Reactor watching all the way through without pausing & then talking about it. To me, that's not a reaction. That's a watch-along & a commentary. There are some people who either don't understand that you have to pause to avoid getting blocked on YT, or if a Reactor isn't reacting the way they want/like, they have to tell them they're reacting wrong & they should change. If they feel that way about Reactors, then it's their preference & that's fine. To each his/her own. But one thing Everyone needs to remember is that there are literally Thousands & Thousands of Reactors on YT & they're not all going to react the same way. Some you'll like, and others you won't. If you(viewer) come across a channel who isn't reacting the way you like, then that means that Channel isn't for you. That doesn't make it 'wrong', it just makes it different, & there's nothing wrong with different. it's also a waste of time telling that channel they should change, cause they never will. You(viewer) should just leave & find channels that work for you. It's that simple. YT is free to watch. When you click on a video, you're choosing to watch it. Your choice, no one else's. If you like/love it, great. If you don't, then that just wasn't the video for you. But there is no need to comment on it complaining about why you didn't like it. There is no point wasting your time on something you don't like. You're not gonna like/love every video on YT, so just skip/ignore the ones you don't like & just focus on those you love.
Yay! Gods menu is elite. Also, if you are interested in production, these guys have lots of Behind The Scenes content where you can get a glimpse of their producing and directing stuff. And if you ever decide to dive deeper and get to know the geniuses behind these masterpieces, you can do a Complete 2024 guide to Stray Kids. Which is quite long but very interesting. These boys are so talented in everything they do. I've been a fan of metal all my life and have never listened to Kpop, before I discovered Stray Kids(SKZ for short). I fell into a rabbit hole and have not regretted it. I've seen them LIVE twice now and it's been an unforgettable experience. Please check out other genres too like "Cover me", where you can witness their wonderful vocals, or Neverending story. They have as many beautiful ballads as hard hitting rap songs.
Okay so the one uou pointed out is also cute in this video is Han..... Him and Felix are about 10+ hrs apart and we stay call them the SUNSHINE TWINS ❤️. They are so sweet and happy and just brilliant rays of sunshine in any stays life. If you want deeper felix try Victory Song.... Or 3rd eye (lyric video only) Try checking out the lyric vdeos they are color coded and will give uou an idea anout who is who and also their lyrics are often deep and witty and often have ALOT of word play. Check out LALALALA for another rock style song then if you can check out the lyric video for the ROCK VERSION of LALALALA it comes off as very metal
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Little warning. video's from the reality show 'Kingdom: Legendary War' will need a filter to put on YT. It's the only way to upload it. A little info. 'Kingdom: Legendary War' was a 2021 reality competition show where 6 groups, BtoB(B-2-B), iKON(Eye-Kon), SF9(say letters & #), Ateez(Aye-Teez), The Boyz, & Stray Kids. 10 episodes, with different challenges leading to amazing performances. I would recommend watching the show. But if you just want to do just the performances, then I'm gonna suggest to the video/perf. cut from the show(with the EP.# in the title) & not the 'full cam' ver. In my opinion, the one from the show is better because you see the other groups reactions. This was during Covid/Lockdown so there was no audience. Because of that, getting to see the other groups just 'Fanboying' for each other during the perf. was so fun. Just remember to turn on the Captions/Subtitles so you know what they're saying. & BTW. 'I'll Be Your Man' is a BtoB song that Stray kids perf. It was episode 5 This is the ep. for the perf. that has the other groups reactions. "[EN/JP] [5회]♬기도(I'll Be Your Man)(StrayKidsVer.)-스트레이 키즈(Stray Kids)ㅣ2차 경연#킹덤:레전더리워 | EP.5 | Mnet210'. ua-cam.com/video/8_pLQnZ09Hk/v-deo.html
Really nice to hear you talk about callback sections! A lot of people are like oh it’s a repeat of the beginning. Respectfully to us it’s different!!!!! ❤
also if you like anime, they did the opening and closing songs (TOP and SLUMP) for season 1 of tower of god, and the opening and closing songs (night and falling up) for the workshop battle arc of season 2 of tower of god. those 4 songs they released all of them in korean, japanese, and english versions, so depending on which dub you're watching of the anime, the song changes language too which is super cool they also released a song in japanese called saiyan which obviously contains a lot of dragon ball references haha
All of the official Stray Kids music videos have English subtitles if you turn on the closed captions. (If you watch anime then you should be good with subtitles. ) Even their pre-debut stuff like Hellevator. (Which is a song I think you would love) But If you’re really serious about getting into Stray Kids then you should watch a guide. There are long guides and short guides but Stays love to watch baby Stays react to all of them. You might be surprised how much more you get into the music once you know their background as a group and understand the members individually and how their talents and personalities work together. There are also 2 songs with no music videos that I really think you would like. One is Falling Up from the Tower of God sound track which has a version all in English. And the other is called Slash from the soundtrack of the Deadpool and Wolverine movie. You can find lyric videos of both of those songs on UA-cam with no copyright issues.
Wait until you get pulled into the Stray Kids LORE. (All of their music videos tell stories with deeper meanings and hidden clues to the next songs and stuff).
I love finding new reactors to Stray Kids. It is a very slippery slope down the SKZ rabbit hole, but we love it here. I cannot wait till you discover some of their Japanese albums\tracks. It's a slower track, but you should watch the First Take of SLUMP. I think it really helps see the true vocal capabilities of the members.
Hey there, welcome to Stayville! In the video you talked about using vocals as beats etc. One of Stray Kids newest songs "Walking on water" will blow your mind! You also mentioned that it's cool when they use rock/metal sounds in their music. Try one of their other new songs "Bounce Back" - there aren't any musicvideo for it, but it's really really good!
As a fellow felix bias, I just want to say you don't have to defend yourself or listen to people suggesting that the novelty of felix will wear off. I think people with other biases don't like the attention felix gets. While I understand, and usually also don't like popular choices, felix is one of the most uniquely special people on the planet. I was initially drawn to him bc of his voice. There's also no denying that he's insanely beautiful. After a year in the fandom, i can freely admit that these facts are, indeed, a lot less shocking. I've also come to see and TRULY admire all 8 members. They are all beautiful, talented, amazing people. But now I also see felix beyond the surface, too. His personality is far more gorgeous than his visuals. He models open-minded kindness, breaks boundaries by being his true self, and accepts/loves all people. He works endlessly hard for fans but gives his free time to help children in need. We all (SKZ members included) turn to him for comfort, warmth, and joy. His smile is open, freely given, and can light up the darkest night. I have come to treasure all of them, but i will NEVER get used to the novelty of felix❤.
Thunderous, back door, megaverse, la la la la, maniac, are some of their top songs. Just in case you need a direction to dive into. If you like more rap based stuff, check out some older stuff from them. God's menu.. anything you want they can serve up. 😊 P.s. most of their songs have closed captions that are pretty close. And if you really want to learn lyrics with which member is singing, there are color coded lyrics videos. But you're not that far down the hole yet. You'll get there.. 😂
Down the rabbit hole we go and I am HERE. FOR. IT.!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Names to start helping: 😊 Bang Chan (leader) 3:42 Lee Know 4:59 (center-orangish hair) 8:49 Changbin 1:22 Hyunjin 6:31 Han 2:34 Felix 5:23 Seungmin 3:45 I.N 4:31 They don’t miss…every song is 🔥! Deeper (maybe deepest) Felix - Victory Song (Performance Video) I’ll also recommend “Easy” M/V (my personal fave), “Domino” dance practice, and “Charmer” color coded lyrics (no M/V for it though you can find some live performances). Can’t wait for the next one.
Ahh yes Felix catches us all at the start. I consider myself Han and Lee Know biased with OT8 wreckers basically meaning I love them all and depending on the song, interview, picture or MV it could be any of them I notice most. as to the design of the MV. The song itself is about how their music is like a menu meaning something in their discography will appeal to all of your senses. they focus on three locations for the MV. The kitchen for the crafting/cooking of their music; The science and construction sets showing the experimentation as well as the tag of noise music (what their anti fans call their music) showing they aren't afraid to experiment and play with unconventional sounds. Finally the race track showing competition. They aren't afraid of putting their effort up against others.
I'm not going to explain anything about the group to you since other Stay is already on the case. I just hope to continue seeing reactions to SKZ. Music videos, dance practices, SKZ Code, Guides, whatever you want to watch, Stay will be with you for it ❤
As you continue your journey down the rabbit hole, it may be helpful for you to know that the CC button is usually pretty accurate on their video with English subtitles. The only exceptions are their Japanese releases or anytime the subs say autogenerated. The lyrics are definitely an important part of the storytelling and another clue to their genius. The Stray Kids pen game is strong. Great reaction!
For the next songs... I would really recommend you to watch THUNDEROUS and i would recommend you to watch the video... and react to the music... then watch the video with a lyric video or with the subtitles on (for the lyrics). and i know GENIUS and other sites love to put explainations out for a lot of songs with explainations what the artist was try to tell with the song... But Straykids is an amazing SELFPRODUCING group! with 8 (former 9 members). all amazing at dancing rapping and singing and they write and produce their own whole discography... Felix also has some amazing vocal range!!! but for more vocal heavy song... LEVANTER or THE STORY THAT WONT END or CHRISTMAS LOVE... but they can all sing and for a guide i would recommend you to watch a 2h one... because the others leave out a lot of fun and important personality traits of the members... they are not just the music artist... they aare so incredible AMAZING PEOPLE!!!!
You can't go wrong with a "Bintro"! ❤ The thing is a lot of people are drawn to SKZ through the more heavily biased members like Felix and Hyunjin because they are the visual line and both have a very uniquely pretty quality to them (plus Felix's voice is so shocking) but often people either change their bias as they get better acquainted with the members' work and personalities or you develop a bias line/bias wreckers. I was pulled in to SKZ by Hyunjin and immediately was drawn to Felix from there, but it turns out my bias line is 3RACHA with Han (the rapper you said was also pretty cute toward the beginning) as my ult bias and Changbin (initial rapper) and Bang Chan (initial pre-chorus vocalist) as my primary wreckers. Other members do wreck me from time to time so I'll be curious to see if Felix remains your ult bias as you get to know them better. In terms of the video itself, once you get past the initial sensorial shock go watch it again and follow the lyrics. The sets are based on their process of creating their music. They're cooking up beats in the kitchen, racing to the front of the line as they propel themselves through the industry, experimenting in the lab (aka studio), and constructing their own style and empire. They are the ultimate creators in their MEGAVERSE, hence "God's Menu". It's really genius the way they tie it all together. And, bonus, this MV theme carries over in the costuming for the next song, "Backdoor", if you're paying attention.
I can't believe I didn't comment on this reaction first watch! They are in the lab cooking up the tracks! As a lover of metal/Rock and Felix you have to check out LALALALA !
If you want to know how deep Felix can go, I recommend MEGAVERSE Also, your music knowledge is awesome! I love learning something new from people who know more than me about music 🎉
You should 100% check out Xdinary Heroes too. They're SKZ little brothers in many ways (same company) and they are very much more rock/pop punk/metal. Start with iNSTEAD! for screaming and either Good Enough or The Night Before Falling for a ballad. There ARE color coded lyric videos out there btw and most of SKZ stuff has captions (minus the Japanese releases) Also everyone loves Felix and Han, and yes they're all so cute
I had never listened to anything kpop until I kept seeing Felix pop up all over my social media, I then proceeded to fall down the SKZ rabbit hole, which then sent me down the BTS rabbit hole. Changbin and Han are definitely my favorite 4th gen rap line.
Thank you again for a great reaction! SKZ is definitely a rabbit hole! They cover so many genres, that everyone can find something that they like/love! My only issue with your reaction is that the level of the music needs to be just a bit higher. You were making all of these great points about the music, but it was sometimes an effort to hear what you were talking about in the track. Other than that, I loved it! 🥰
That Felix effect is no joke! Lot's of people have mentioned lots of great songs you should check out, but I also want to add Victory Song! That really highlights Felix's low range (along with Megaverse which at least one other commenter metioned) also check out Muddy Water!
You mention that the producer is the genius of hit songs. Are you aware that stray kids, in particular Bang Chan, the leader, produces and writes all their songs?
The intro is done by Changbin. STAYS say that songs with “Bintro” are always gonna be bangers!! ps. Just learn the TikTok challenges, their dances are known for being super hard lol!
I like they way you talk about what you expect to happen and then what actually happens instead A lot of kpop has subtitles if you hit the CC button. You should probably check out Xdinary Heroes, a band (like with instruments and everything) also under JYP, some metal influences there too
I think you should react to all their solo songs in their newest album SKZ HOP! It’d really give you insight on each of the members since all of their solos in that album are very personalized to them.
If you're into anime, you should check out the other song they made with LiSA "Social Path", there's also SLUMP, which is part of the OST for theTower Of God anime, and their recent Japanese album GIANT, which contains Night and Falling Up, also for Tower of God and the song Saiyan (half of stray kids are really into anime, as you can tell). For a metal-feeling song, LALALALA is great (and the MV is awesome) and YAYAYA, a song from their beginnings that is pretty influenced by punk rock/grunge
I love your reactions to our 8 talented kings! Welcome to the Stray Kids rabbit hole and to Stayville. Please keep on reacting to more of their music and also check other content because they are so funny & adorable people and amazing artists! Felix opened the door for me and ot8 (all 8 of them) closed and locked the door❤
Yes 'Unfair' is a work of art! To completely blow your mind and take your breath away, I also recommend the song ‘Deep End’ and the live performance of ‘Rev it Up’, all by Felix. The vocal range of this man is beyond crazy... and his duality gives me whiplash every time😂 AND it's really helpful to watch "the complete 2025 guide to stray kids" by chandorasworld. It should be out here on yt in the next few days, so you can get to know all the members🫶🏼
The metal to kpop pipeline is very real!!! If you're looking for kind of more rockish vibes, I sooo suggest listening to the krock band Xdinary Heroes! Especially their song iNSTEAD! You could also check out another kpop group, ATEEZ, and their song Geurilla! And if you're looking for more of rock like Stray kids songs, try Battle Ground, ROCK, Awaken, Hello Stranger, WHY?, and LALALALA (Rock Vers)!
If you want to branch out to other Kpop groups there is a band called Ateez that has a song with metal elements called Guerrilla that I think you would like. Remember to turn on the closed captions for English Subtitles. The members of Stray Kids and Ateez are actually good friends, but Stray Kids is a bit bigger and more popular than Ateez although Ateez are definitely gaining momentum.
You'll dive in and find so much with Stray Kids. Based on your commentary, I'm going to recommend you check out: 1. TASTE by DanceRacha performance video. Has your boy Felix. 2. RED LIGHTS music video 3. MIROH music video, older, yet one of my favorites. Additionally, their new album HOP showcases them all individually.
give chk chk boom a watch. Also fun Choreo to learn 🤣(my 60yr old mom wants to do that dance when she hears if and loves the song haha) good songs... Giant, victory song, venom, maniac, and all the recent solos! (Literally any song... Too many to rec 😅) if you wanna check the other bubbly or soft ones they do... The view, your eyes, case 143, christmas love.
If you're up for it you should definitely check out Xdinary Heroes! They're a k-rock band, I think you'd like their cover of Drown by Bring Me the Horizon :)
tysm for reacting! i’ll leave notes on where each member is in the song (in your video reaction) below! it took me a while to get all their names down so no worries. i’d rather you enjoy the music and get to know each as they catch your interest than get pushed into trying to memorize them all at once :) 1:00 is changbin! one of the main rappers, frequently starts songs. 2:14 / 2:35 this handsome guy is han! another main rapper 3:00 is bang chan, the leader. the first three are all members of 3RACHA, which i’m sure EVERYONE in the comments talks about lol 3:45 is seungmin! the main vocalist. 5:13 is I.N, the second main vocalist. he’s also on the left at 5:45 (seungmin is on the right!) 6:30 is hyunjin, an incredibly talented dancer. i couldn’t find a very good time stamp for lee know, but he’s to the right at 4:02, he has light brown/auburn hair in this one. he’s THE dancer. and of course you know felix! i also fell into his rabbit hole despite not typically gravitating towards the most popular member. he’s just that good lol
if you are interested in more song recs: chk chk boom is AMAZING. it really gives me similar energy to s-class and god’s menu, where they’re all kind of larger than life :) you also said you’re interested in dance: after you watch the music video, this one has a “special performance” and i believe also a dance practice video. you could check those out! it has a signature dance move that looks impressive but is still pretty learnable! since you like darker vibe songs (maybe?) and felix, MEGAVERSE is suchhhh a good song. topline is a rap-focused song, one of my favorite songs of theirs. ughhhh it’s sooo good. social path is a stray kids song featuring LiSA, just like the anime opening. tbh most of their japanese tracks HIT: all in is also fantastic song. if you would like to check out something completely different from all of these, blueprint is very vocal-focused. it’s so pretty! finally, LA LA LA LA is a great song. a little bit more like dubstep/phonk/edm-y if that’s your vibe? even if it’s not i would check it out. it goes crazyyy.
okay sorry final comment but they also just released an album (SKZHOP) with eight solo songs, one for each member! it would take a WHILE to watch all, but you could always break it up into a couple videos (or one for each) to get a feel for each member. i personally love all of the songs, but even if you don’t, it might help you get a feel for who you might like / which songs you might enjoy. but that might also be something you want to hold off on lol, it’s a bit of a commitment to listen to all 8.
Do you love Stray kids?
Also Patreon is going live! (In description) ❤
The brilliance of Stray kids 3 of the members Bang Chan, Changbin and Han aka 3Racha ARE THE PRODUCERS they are the production team. All members help with writing songs and lyrics and each, and every member can do everything they can all dance they can all sing they can all rap. But 3Racha have a majority of the production credits, songwriting and composing of all of Stray Kids music.
They’re all masterminds!!!
God's menu = what ever you want, whatever you have a taste for, they have something for you
They sure do
Wait till you hear Felix's full vocal range. His falsetto is practically *angelic*
Can’t wait 🔥
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Deep End and Unfair are his solos. He's the only one who sings - they layer his voice on itself for the harmony. They are beautiful and sad, ballad-ish.
@ stoked to checkout them out
"Ladies and Gentlemen: We got him." The Felix Effect is almost as dependable as the law of gravity.
@YesterdaysYouthTV I, also, do not usually go for the obvious attractive person. Felix is something different, though, with a unique combination of masculine/feminine features AND behaviors which I find irresistable. He aims for a "unisex" image and regularly wears what are traditionally considered both women's and men's wear. Felix also models/does runway for women's wear, wants his hair as long as possible, etc. So, there is some subverting expectations there. Felix gets both hated and loved for it.
Then there is the extraordinary patience and kindness, the voice, the dance, the volunteering with UNICEF...I could go on.
Point is: Felix isn't just pretty. There's a lot going on there and I think you clocked it, even if it was subconscious.
Ty for saying this! I get so frustrated with fans always telling new people to just wait until they "get used to" felix bc they will then want to switch biases. Felix is special. He's way more than a visual with a deep voice, and the idea of dropping him when the novelty wears off really saddens me. His personality is gorgeous. He is a trendsetter in open-minded kindness and positivity. He's the one we all ( including SKZ themselves) go to for warmth and unconditional love/support. I have 100% also learned to love and appreciate all 8 members bc they are ALL special, but i will NEVER get used to the pure beauty of felix.
Yep, Felix grabbed me from the start and hasn’t let me go and never will…🥀🪽🪽
I have been Stay for 3 years and my admiration for Felix never stops 🐥 Ot8 are very talented and wonderful people 💫 Skz perfect 💯
He must be protected 💜
@@YesterdaysYouthTV At all costs. He's pure smiles and sunshine.
5:31 Current fave genre of YT videos is people hearing Felix in God's Menu for the first time 🤣
I can literally watch Felix Effect reactions non stop. 😂
😅😂💜
@@summerc80SERIOUSLY lol
Kitchen - cooking up new tracks
Scientists - experimenting with sound
Construction - building beats
Race track - racing past the competition
They went out through the Backdoor at the end. Backdoor is another banger.
Recommend next..
Thunderous
Chk Chk Boom
Maniac
Actually his voice does go deeper 😅 he also has a really nice falsetto.
Yes you should totally learn some of their choreo. Definitely check out their dance practices.
Domino dance practice is amazing!
I’ll do it! I’m such a bad dancer it’ll be great😂
I’ll look it up
@YesterdaysYouthTV we love to see people try! 😂 Who knows maybe you'll surprise yourself!
@@YesterdaysYouthTV They're all dancers and have such amazing Choreography, so watching the Dance Practice's is the great way to showcase it. You don't have to be a dancer to appreciate the skill they(& other kpop groups) have. They're just so fun to watch. They put so much work into their music/dancing, so that's why I love to watch the Dance Practices & Making off(Behind the scenes) videos.
Welcome to the Stray Kids rabbit hole. They actually produce and write about 99% of their own music that is why when you hear a Stray Kids song you will hear their own signature sound/style. You can turn on the captions for the lyrics. And I would definitely recommend learning one of their dances.
Yea I plan on diving into lyrics soon. Have any dances you recommend?
@@YesterdaysYouthTV There are several dances that are really fun to perform, but they all have their own level of difficulty. I would say for easy levels, go for "Maniac," "Easy," or "Case 143". Intermediate levels can be "Thunderous," "Miroh," or "Back Door." The hard level includes "Domino," "Lalalala," or "JJAM."
I would definitely recommend that you check out their MVs first. Some of the songs have either Performance Videos or Dance Practice Videos that can help you learn the steps. I hope you have fun with this!!!
@@gisellemartinez1275 There are channels that break the dances down into steps and then run you through them with slow speed increases so you really learn them.
I'm using that as my PT, with the blessings of my care team, and hope to build up my endurance this way - more fun than a treadmill and defintely a workout!
THEY are GODS MENU. They have something for everyone. They are highly competitive, no, they are pioneers and leaders. They are always cooking, creating, experimenting, building and bringing us new things. Hence, the kitchen, lab, construction site and race track.
So cool!!!
Some of the best writing advice I've ever heard is that if you're going to subvert your audience's expectations, make sure it feels surprising but inevitable, and make sure it is more satisfying than what they thought they wanted. Stray Kids ALWAYS delivers on this principle musically.
I love it every time a reactor with metal knowledge reacts to these guys! It always brings something extra to the reaction for me!
YES to learning a SKZ dance!
Megaverse, Easy, Side Effects, Venom, Freeze, LaLaLaLa, and Giant are some m/v recommendations for today!
Amazing comment! Any dances you think are worth checking out?!
@@YesterdaysYouthTV I think walking on water ,Domino and easy is more popular .
But all of the dance practices are great
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Chk Chk Boom would be a good one!
@ it’s high on my list :3
Since you mentioned anime, they have several Japanese albums. They also have several OST's for the anime Tower of God. They also have an OST for the second season of Arcane on Netflix.
I’m stoked to checkout those out!
Also Felix and Lisa just did the opening for Solo Leveling Season 2. So good.
@ I made a video to that one already and loved it!!!!
@@YesterdaysYouthTVFor Tower of God, Season 1 has 2 songs. 1. "TOP", which has an 'UNVEIL : TRACK' MV & a Japanese ver. MV. Both MV's are similar, using a lot of the same choreo shots, but the 'Unveil: track' has more Choreo shots & the JPN has more MV(different set) parts. Still recommend both.
2. "SLUMP" has an animated/recording MV, which I do recommend, but I would also Highly Suggest/Recommend their "Stray Kids - SLUMP -Japanese ver.- / THE FIRST TAKE" performance. 'The First Take' is a Japanese UA-cam channel where artists perform a song live in one take in a white studio with only a microphone. Both songs have English version, but no MV's
Tower of God, Season 2 also has 2 songs & I think their the Opening & Outro's(could be wrong). "NIGHT" & "Falling Up". They also have English ver.
Stray Kids & Young Miko 'Come Play' Lyrics [Arcane Season 2 OST]. No 'official' mv(just fanmade), just the "Visualizer'. You do hear part of the song in the 'Arcane: Season 2 | "Come Play" | Series Trailer | Netflix'.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. It never ends 😂
The second cutie you noticed, other than Felix, was Han 😊 You mentioned wanting to get more into their lyrics. Han (and the rest of the members) is an amazing lyricist, so you will definitely not be disappointed.
As others have mentioned, the "producer" is the group themselves. Chan (the group's leader), Changbin (the rapper from the beginning), and Han are the main production team of the group. They write, compose, mix, and produce basically all of their music 🩷
Can't wait to see more SKZ reactions 😊
They’re all so talented
Felix is the gateway drug. Then it might shift to best leader Chan then settles on someone. 😅 Many people's bias changes almost on weekly. 😂 Most of us are OT8: They are all great. 😊
Me; I am biased to anyone of them on any given day with a heavy tendency to LeeKnow. 😊
Same girl. I mean are you a stay if your not OT8 with specials.....
I'm OT8 with a special place for the SUNSHINE TWINS 😊😊
I call Felix "The Gateway Stray."
He’s perf 😫🔥
@@KylieIsOverIt LOL Felix got me in Chk Chk Boom, then I saw God's Menu and haven't turned back. I'm OT8 - it took very little time before I figured out how talented and wonderful they ALL are. If it weren't for Hugh Jackman, I never would have clicked, but I am not regretting a second. My only regret is not finding them sooner.
I have 4 main biases, and 4 bias wreckers and they change on the day. Although heavy tendency towards Lee Know and Changbin lol
STAY like making the next person even more infected than they were, it is the best and healthiest virus to catch. Such a great community, we're proud of our boys and don't compete to be the no.1 fan - we all are.
So wholesome
Fun fact Felix woke up one morning when he was 13 and heard his voice and went to his mom to ask if he was okay
More than okay that’s for sure
@ wait till you hear his high pitched voice
@ oh my
@@YesterdaysYouthTV ua-cam.com/video/SsaaldZ-bCA/v-deo.htmlsi=BVPpTwtAjo7vXAWK
That’s a good SKZ guide for learning about the members and about SKZ as a whole, I highly recommend
Love how interested in music you are! Your insights are great❤. God's Menu is basically a statement to people who are haters or new to stray kids. They literally have everything on the menu, so everyone should be able to find something that pleases them. The visuals in the mv show them: chaotic in the kitchen (creating their own special sauce/genre); in the lab experimenting (mixing and blending genres is their specialty); at a construction sight (they work VERY HARD to make their own music); and on the racetrack (they are highly competitive and constantly pushing the limit). For lyrics/ translations, there are usually subtitles for the mvs, but i recommend looking up the color-coded lyrics made by fans for each song. They're an invaluable tool bc they also show who's singing. You are so on point in noticing that stray kids' line distributions in songs are deliberate. They 100% use their voices like instruments and another layer of sound production. As far as dancing goes, don't be afraid to! There are dance practice videos for a lot of their songs that you should watch ( including this one). Their group choreo is freaking amazing. Ty for another reaction!!!❤
I love music so much, listening to these guys is great and I’ll definitely try some dancing to see how far I get haha
I think their diss tracks are my favorite. Every diss track is a banger, absoluely perfect.
@ they got diss tracks?!
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Cheese, Thunderous, Victory Song (I think), ... they have a bunch of them.
I put the album "NoEasy" - a play on 'noisy' - as a bunch of diss tracks because most of the songs have something to say about how they are in the lead, they beat their competition, and they don't care what you think because they are having fun and you can go off.
The lyrics for their music are next level. The percussive beats drive - and I'm a former drum player (they run the gamut from traditional to adding bird song and door creaks/knocks into their music) - it's seriously amazing.
And then they go off and say something like "I'm a 5 star Michelin";
"Wooah, I've never felt this way before", like ... seriously? Me, too, dawg.
@YesterdaysYouthTV they have received a metric ton of hate in the kpop industry bc they don't fit the mold. Thus, they have a lot of clever diss and flex songs. They still manage to do it with class, though. At the end of the day, they are truly humble, kind people.
I have loved these guys for over two years now. I discovered K-pop late in life. I'm 54 . I've seen them in concert and it is Amazing! For a baby Stay I would recommend Slump, Venom and The Tortoise and the Hare. And 3Racha. Oh, and Ta. Ok, I'll stop. No I won't...Winterfalls.
You’re awesome! Thx for watching
The official captions tend to be pretty accurate, at least on the MVs. Lol, this is not even deepest Felix can go. I think Victory Song (which is an earlier song) is the lowest or one of the lowest he's ever gone. He goes pretty low in Megaverse and Lalalala, which would be a good ones for you to check out next.
don't forget Maniac too
Excited to see how far it goes O_o
This one is high on my list
Check out the Megaverse music video and Bounce Back (one of their new releases; no music video). Ace songs, major metal vibes, and the Felix Effect is strong in them!
Heck yea!!!
Felix is just art himself. He is ambassador for Louis Vuitton and currently the 7th most impactful fashion influencer in the WORLD. He went runaway for LV last year and loves to wear unisex style, which suits him so well. Felix has a baritone voice, he can go very high like falsetto and very low like bass. Also he is ambassador of Unisef and helps children not only using generous donations, but he went to Laos and made a volunteer work by himself on his rare vacation
Another guy you was pointed was Han. He is incredibly talented in all aspect of music. He can hit woman's register and rap like a GOD and his lyrics is the deepest in SKZ discography. Ahahah I am just proud mom here, I love all of them very much
He’s soooooo good
The Felix effect is absolutely real ❤❤❤❤
I FEEL IT
Oh boy! You need to react to so many songs!! Freeze, venom, falling up & night(ost's for tower of god season 2), LALALALA(they also have a rock version that is awesome), and Megaverse. As rock/metal head they have a lot of rock inspired songs and are definitely heavier than typical kpop groups. I think you would enjoy some of their older songs like Beware(previously known as grr), district 9(debut song), hellevator(pre debut song), and my side. If you really want to hear Felix's voice go super deep victory song!! Also, great thing about stray kids? These guys write, produce, and compose close to 99% of all of their music. They have a production unit called 3racha and it consists of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han.
if you mention the rock side of SKZ please not forget BATTLEGROUND!!! lol ;) one of my fav. rock-like songs ;)
Oh my goodness how could I forget about battleground?! They have so many great rock inspired songs and I automatically go to a lot of their older stuff lol
and Hall of Fame)

Amazing comment! Thx so much for watching :3
Welcome to the rabbit hole 😊
I’m certainly in it now!
I really like your reactions, keep them up! Stray kids rabbit hole is DEEEP. They're also extremely funny. I like your knowledge on music. And YES to learning a choreo lmao
Awe you’re too sweet 💜
I also love listening to metal, and before I found out about Stray Kids I only listened to metal. All I can say is that they really have something on the menu for every taste.
As a metalhead, I recommend listening to Hall of Fame, Battleground and Rev it Up (solo by Felix) - there are no Mvideos for these three songs, there are only live versions (5-Star Dome Tour) and it’s just fire!
I also recommend Come play (OST for Arcane League of Legends), Slump, Falling Up and Night (OST for Tower of God)
I also like Hello Stranger, although for some reason it is rarely recommended - it is also an OST for the film + the OST for Solo Leveling Season 2 was recently released - ReawakeR (LiSa feat. Felix)
As for the other recommendations, they are standard - all titles and the most popular b-sides (Stray Kids have no bad songs, you can't make a mistake): Thunderous, Megaverse, Lalalala (there is also a rock version, but without a video), Back Door, Maniak, Venom, Freeze, Chk Chk Boom, Mountains, JJam, Giant, Circus, Case 143, Get Lit, Super Bowl, Topline, Social Path, Give me your TMI, Super Board, The Sound, Easy, All in, Cheese, Domino, Christmas Evel, Scars, Walkin on water
(Slump, Scars and Case 143 have a clip, but I also recommend watching the first take version, I think it will be interesting for a musician)
From the older one (different in sound - the lyrics are more straightforward, the music is more aggressive):
Hellevator (pre-debut song, their very first video), District 9 (debut song), Grrr, Miroh, Double Knot, Victory Song, Side Effects, My Pace
There are no clips, but rap fans should like:
ITEM, Maze of Memories, Muddy Water, 3Racha, Bounce Back, U.
What else can I add:
FAM - song to meet the members (text is important)
Hall of Fame ua-cam.com/video/8o-uw7q5f34/v-deo.htmlsi=rWIWkN1THmR05Y6S
Battle ground ua-cam.com/video/HP2_M4LVmzA/v-deo.htmlsi=mFJ-TVhQL4e6c4Sc
Rev it Up ua-cam.com/video/Di4R7bkhbF8/v-deo.htmlsi=jRqEk9VccHYeczZi
So much to checkout! I’m stoked!
@@YesterdaysYouthTV they have over 200 songs and not single bad one, so this is only small part😅
FELIX DEEP VOICE KING
BEAUTIFUL ANGEL OF KPOP_👑 👑 🌟 👑 🌟 💛
HE WENT SO HARD IN THIS ONE OMGGGGGG
YAY!! The Felix Effect is a canon event at this point.
God's Menu is saying that Stray Kids has whatever you want on offer and that it's god-tier (which is correct). They have their own genre named "mala taste" meaning "all" taste, they have songs in pretty much any genre at this point. So the kitchen is them "cooking," the lab is them "experimenting," the construction site is them "building," and the race track is both their "drive" to keep going, but also it's them passing everyone and "winning."
It's funny you watched S-Class first cause S-Class does some call backs to God's Menu at the beginning when Hyunjin breaks the mirror in the street and there are random people with horses, chefs, etc.
08:08 It can and it doooooessss - try Maniac next. If you want to really get Felix's range, listen to his solo song "Deep End" it's RIDICULOUS
Ohhhh I didn’t even pickup on that! I’m sure the more I watch the more I’ll see the lil nuances and callbacks they sprinkle in!
@@YesterdaysYouthTV for sure! There’s so much so never feel bad if you miss something. Their MV lore is one of the more confusing to follow
@ I’m into it
@ oh I also meant to tell you to listen to Wolfgang. There’s no MV. There are a couple of live performances (I suggest Kingdom WEEK performance)
@ I’m down!
thanks for reaction!
their latest Korean comeback is "walking on water" and latest Japanese comeback is "Giant", please check those out as well!
also fyi Koreans are not as strict as Japanese. you can play the whole song unblurred and with less commenting and you will not get blocked. I know, it is always dangerous with Japanese artists, but Koreans treat reactions as free promotions, so don't worry too much when reacting to their music videos :). only live performances (uploaded on other channels e.g. MNet) might get blocked.
They got the right idea and it’s so cool to interact with people that like the same things you do! Thx so much for watching
I was a full on metal head turned Stay. I have developed so much love and respect for Stray Kids over the last couple years. Each and every member brings so much to the group. I hope you get to dive deeper into them!
🔥 wonderful reaction!
Also I recommend turning on the subtitles when you watch the MVs the stray kids subs are pretty accurate and you’ll really understand a lot more what is being said.
Thx so much for watching! I’m stoked to have found them. Gonna be reacting to Unfair next
Kpop fandoms are very passionate i hope it doesn’t scare you off we just know a lot and want to share it😭❤ But as for different groups i also recommend-
ateez -for noise music as well (skz besties!)
xdinary heroes - rock/metal (band - they play their own instruments but they all sing)
OnlyOneOf (not very popular group but very unique and artistic with a very experimental sound and that is why i think you would like it, they also have a beautiful massage and a story about the lgbtq throughout their music and in korea that isn’t common and it’s even frowned upon so probably a huge reason why they aren’t as popular)
and as for girl groups (G)I-dle (more pop rock and alt pop with amazing production)
No I love passionate fans, especially since y’all are so nice 💜
i love watching people fall into the skz rabbit hole because this was also me back in july and now i’ve been to one of their concerts😂 truly one of the most unique kpop group i’ve listened to. I’m so excited for more skz content hehe
More to come :3 thx so much
10:06 i think you'd love watching the behind the scenes of them in the recording booth. Where they write/compose/produce/arrange their own songs, usually in the "making of" videos it shows the leader, Bang Chan, directing the other members in the booth, saying things like "okay do that line again but I want the note slightly higher this time" "again but I want x emotion in your voice" "again but this time make it sound more like..." etc, it's a really fun and interesting process to watch
I’ll check it out! You’re awesome
Oh.. damn near forgot that you love anime.. stray kids did a song called "come play" that I love. And "chk chk boom" has some cool marvel moments and the song "slash" is in the new deadpool movie.
They also did songs for Tower of God... loved Slump especially
@@CathyYardleyRockYourWriting oh yeah! It's hard to remember everything when they have soooo much good stuff!
I’m stoked to check them out!
If you want to hear Felix’s full range, I highly recommend his solo Deep End. There’s no M/V, but there is a lyric video.
I’ll definitely check it out!
In this song God's Menu is theor music. They are cooking their music here in their own way. Very uniq and tasty same time. Defferent framese show what they are doing like ,
Kitchen for making music
Lab for testing
Construction area for concepts and building their music
Racetrack for competition
And Girls for Collaboration ❤
Such a cool concept!
You should hear Felix voice in Victory Song 😂
Victory Song and Thunderous!
Can’t wait 😳
Ohh, that scene with Nanami in jjk 🫠🥵
Stray Kids everywhere all around the world ✨ 8 extremely talented people right there
Absolutely 🔥💜
Just an FYI if you find Stray Kids you’ll find yourself going down an ATEEZ rabbit hole at some point
Can’t wait ;)
I thinkk the deepest Felix voice is in the Victory Song video.
Also 3rd eye and social path
Perfect!
@@YesterdaysYouthTV If you want to see Felix's range, try 'Deep End'. I know other's have told you this, but he's the only one singing. Solo song, no MV, just audio.
Just a little heads-up. Sometimes, with songs without MV's, some fans will make FMV(FanMade Video). They'll use past MV's & clips to make it so they will have spoilers for MV's you haven't seen. & annoyingly, some won't say they're FMV & they'll put 'Official' in the title & on the video. So it can be confusing to new-fans. We(in chat) will typically say if it's an MV or Audio. If we say it's just audio then that's all there is. Sometimes they'll have 'Visualizer', but those will be on official channels. The Channel is the easiest way to tell what's really 'official'.
Don't pause so much and absorb first 😂 the drops are coming always 😂
I understand his want to instantly want to discuss things as they happen, but a full watch through and THEN an analysis would be rad.
I just gotta pause to keep within fair use, but I’m making Patreon content where I won’t have to pause at all:3
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Just react the way that feels right for you. You can take suggestions, but only do them if you think it's a good idea. If you start changing to make other's happy, then the reactions will stop being real/genuin.
Personally, I'm not a fan of a Reactor watching all the way through without pausing & then talking about it. To me, that's not a reaction. That's a watch-along & a commentary. There are some people who either don't understand that you have to pause to avoid getting blocked on YT, or if a Reactor isn't reacting the way they want/like, they have to tell them they're reacting wrong & they should change.
If they feel that way about Reactors, then it's their preference & that's fine. To each his/her own. But one thing Everyone needs to remember is that there are literally Thousands & Thousands of Reactors on YT & they're not all going to react the same way. Some you'll like, and others you won't. If you(viewer) come across a channel who isn't reacting the way you like, then that means that Channel isn't for you. That doesn't make it 'wrong', it just makes it different, & there's nothing wrong with different. it's also a waste of time telling that channel they should change, cause they never will. You(viewer) should just leave & find channels that work for you. It's that simple.
YT is free to watch. When you click on a video, you're choosing to watch it. Your choice, no one else's. If you like/love it, great. If you don't, then that just wasn't the video for you. But there is no need to comment on it complaining about why you didn't like it. There is no point wasting your time on something you don't like. You're not gonna like/love every video on YT, so just skip/ignore the ones you don't like & just focus on those you love.
Yay! Gods menu is elite. Also, if you are interested in production, these guys have lots of Behind The Scenes content where you can get a glimpse of their producing and directing stuff. And if you ever decide to dive deeper and get to know the geniuses behind these masterpieces, you can do a Complete 2024 guide to Stray Kids. Which is quite long but very interesting. These boys are so talented in everything they do.
I've been a fan of metal all my life and have never listened to Kpop, before I discovered Stray Kids(SKZ for short). I fell into a rabbit hole and have not regretted it. I've seen them LIVE twice now and it's been an unforgettable experience.
Please check out other genres too like "Cover me", where you can witness their wonderful vocals, or Neverending story. They have as many beautiful ballads as hard hitting rap songs.
I definitely will! You’re awesome 💜
They produce all of their own songs.
So awesome!
Make sure you watch with the subtitles so you can understand the lyrics ^_^ Welcome to STAY
Appreciate u 💜
As a metalhead, I've found that Stray Kids definitely attracts a lot of metal and emo kids to the fanbase, so welcome! :D
So much heavy and tight grooves utilized in the production! I love it 🔥
Okay so the one uou pointed out is also cute in this video is Han..... Him and Felix are about 10+ hrs apart and we stay call them the SUNSHINE TWINS ❤️. They are so sweet and happy and just brilliant rays of sunshine in any stays life.
If you want deeper felix try Victory Song.... Or 3rd eye (lyric video only)
Try checking out the lyric vdeos they are color coded and will give uou an idea anout who is who and also their lyrics are often deep and witty and often have ALOT of word play.
Check out LALALALA for another rock style song then if you can check out the lyric video for the ROCK VERSION of LALALALA it comes off as very metal
Awe so cute
PART 3 "❤️❤️❤️❤️WALKIN ON WATER "❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m gonna do that one soon!:)
😂😂😂 You should watch the video from kingdom's "I Will Be Your Man", that's where I think Felix gave his all.
I AM IN
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Little warning. video's from the reality show 'Kingdom: Legendary War' will need a filter to put on YT. It's the only way to upload it.
A little info. 'Kingdom: Legendary War' was a 2021 reality competition show where 6 groups, BtoB(B-2-B), iKON(Eye-Kon), SF9(say letters & #), Ateez(Aye-Teez), The Boyz, & Stray Kids. 10 episodes, with different challenges leading to amazing performances. I would recommend watching the show.
But if you just want to do just the performances, then I'm gonna suggest to the video/perf. cut from the show(with the EP.# in the title) & not the 'full cam' ver. In my opinion, the one from the show is better because you see the other groups reactions. This was during Covid/Lockdown so there was no audience. Because of that, getting to see the other groups just 'Fanboying' for each other during the perf. was so fun. Just remember to turn on the Captions/Subtitles so you know what they're saying.
& BTW. 'I'll Be Your Man' is a BtoB song that Stray kids perf. It was episode 5
This is the ep. for the perf. that has the other groups reactions. "[EN/JP] [5회]♬기도(I'll Be Your Man)(StrayKidsVer.)-스트레이 키즈(Stray Kids)ㅣ2차 경연#킹덤:레전더리워 | EP.5 | Mnet210'. ua-cam.com/video/8_pLQnZ09Hk/v-deo.html
Really nice to hear you talk about callback sections! A lot of people are like oh it’s a repeat of the beginning. Respectfully to us it’s different!!!!! ❤
Such important things to note in music for sure
also if you like anime, they did the opening and closing songs (TOP and SLUMP) for season 1 of tower of god, and the opening and closing songs (night and falling up) for the workshop battle arc of season 2 of tower of god. those 4 songs they released all of them in korean, japanese, and english versions, so depending on which dub you're watching of the anime, the song changes language too which is super cool
they also released a song in japanese called saiyan which obviously contains a lot of dragon ball references haha
I think social path is next on my list
All of the official Stray Kids music videos have English subtitles if you turn on the closed captions. (If you watch anime then you should be good with subtitles. ) Even their pre-debut stuff like Hellevator. (Which is a song I think you would love) But If you’re really serious about getting into Stray Kids then you should watch a guide. There are long guides and short guides but Stays love to watch baby Stays react to all of them. You might be surprised how much more you get into the music once you know their background as a group and understand the members individually and how their talents and personalities work together. There are also 2 songs with no music videos that I really think you would like. One is Falling Up from the Tower of God sound track which has a version all in English. And the other is called Slash from the soundtrack of the Deadpool and Wolverine movie. You can find lyric videos of both of those songs on UA-cam with no copyright issues.
Great ideas, thx so much!:)
Wait until you get pulled into the Stray Kids LORE. (All of their music videos tell stories with deeper meanings and hidden clues to the next songs and stuff).
Oh lord, imma be learning awhile
The rapper you liked is called Han Jisung ❤ and he is an excellent vocalist, composer and producer ❤
He really is!
You might appreciate their anime ost... they have a few.
Absolutely:3
I love finding new reactors to Stray Kids. It is a very slippery slope down the SKZ rabbit hole, but we love it here. I cannot wait till you discover some of their Japanese albums\tracks. It's a slower track, but you should watch the First Take of SLUMP. I think it really helps see the true vocal capabilities of the members.
There’s so much to checkout, but I’m gonna get in the habit of getting videos on UA-cam and Patreon faster :3
@YesterdaysYouthTV can't wait!
@ 💜💜💜
Hey there, welcome to Stayville! In the video you talked about using vocals as beats etc. One of Stray Kids newest songs "Walking on water" will blow your mind! You also mentioned that it's cool when they use rock/metal sounds in their music. Try one of their other new songs "Bounce Back" - there aren't any musicvideo for it, but it's really really good!
I definitely will! Thx so much for watching
As a fellow felix bias, I just want to say you don't have to defend yourself or listen to people suggesting that the novelty of felix will wear off. I think people with other biases don't like the attention felix gets. While I understand, and usually also don't like popular choices, felix is one of the most uniquely special people on the planet. I was initially drawn to him bc of his voice. There's also no denying that he's insanely beautiful. After a year in the fandom, i can freely admit that these facts are, indeed, a lot less shocking. I've also come to see and TRULY admire all 8 members. They are all beautiful, talented, amazing people. But now I also see felix beyond the surface, too. His personality is far more gorgeous than his visuals. He models open-minded kindness, breaks boundaries by being his true self, and accepts/loves all people. He works endlessly hard for fans but gives his free time to help children in need. We all (SKZ members included) turn to him for comfort, warmth, and joy. His smile is open, freely given, and can light up the darkest night. I have come to treasure all of them, but i will NEVER get used to the novelty of felix❤.
Preach!
Thunderous, back door, megaverse, la la la la, maniac, are some of their top songs. Just in case you need a direction to dive into. If you like more rap based stuff, check out some older stuff from them.
God's menu.. anything you want they can serve up. 😊
P.s. most of their songs have closed captions that are pretty close. And if you really want to learn lyrics with which member is singing, there are color coded lyrics videos. But you're not that far down the hole yet. You'll get there.. 😂
He likes Rock he should try THUNDEROUS also hopefully he'll turn on the subtitles too lol
I’m excited to get into the lyrical side soon!
Down the rabbit hole we go and I am HERE. FOR. IT.!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Names to start helping: 😊
Bang Chan (leader) 3:42
Lee Know 4:59 (center-orangish hair) 8:49
Changbin 1:22
Hyunjin 6:31
Han 2:34
Felix 5:23
Seungmin 3:45
I.N 4:31
They don’t miss…every song is 🔥!
Deeper (maybe deepest) Felix - Victory Song (Performance Video)
I’ll also recommend “Easy” M/V (my personal fave), “Domino” dance practice, and “Charmer” color coded lyrics (no M/V for it though you can find some live performances).
Can’t wait for the next one.
Next one coming soon
Stray kids are 1 of a kind. They are self ptoduced.
They’re so amazing! Have any favorite songs?
I love your reactions so much….and I feel the same way about Felix lol
We are the same 😅💜
You might enjoy clips from Chan's room centered on production and writing especially with 3racha. Three Men in Colourful Pants is hilarious.
Absolutely
You have now been pulled in by the Felix effect!!
Happy to be here!
I love your openness. I agree you should check out their pre debut and their first songs District 9, Hellavator, and others from 6 years ago.
I’m down!!!! Open to it all
Just in case you didn't know, all the music videos have subtitles with the lyrics translated to english if you'd like to see what the lyrics mean!
Yea I’m gonna start doing that :3
Ahh yes Felix catches us all at the start. I consider myself Han and Lee Know biased with OT8 wreckers basically meaning I love them all and depending on the song, interview, picture or MV it could be any of them I notice most.
as to the design of the MV. The song itself is about how their music is like a menu meaning something in their discography will appeal to all of your senses. they focus on three locations for the MV. The kitchen for the crafting/cooking of their music; The science and construction sets showing the experimentation as well as the tag of noise music (what their anti fans call their music) showing they aren't afraid to experiment and play with unconventional sounds. Finally the race track showing competition. They aren't afraid of putting their effort up against others.
I love how much thought went into the analogies and metaphors! Also Felix is gorgeous 😫
I'm not going to explain anything about the group to you since other Stay is already on the case.
I just hope to continue seeing reactions to SKZ. Music videos, dance practices, SKZ Code, Guides, whatever you want to watch, Stay will be with you for it ❤
I definitely will, I’m having a great time
As you continue your journey down the rabbit hole, it may be helpful for you to know that the CC button is usually pretty accurate on their video with English subtitles. The only exceptions are their Japanese releases or anytime the subs say autogenerated. The lyrics are definitely an important part of the storytelling and another clue to their genius. The Stray Kids pen game is strong. Great reaction!
Heck yeah, I’ll turn it on
For the next songs... I would really recommend you to watch THUNDEROUS and i would recommend you to watch the video... and react to the music... then watch the video with a lyric video or with the subtitles on (for the lyrics). and i know GENIUS and other sites love to put explainations out for a lot of songs with explainations what the artist was try to tell with the song... But Straykids is an amazing SELFPRODUCING group! with 8 (former 9 members). all amazing at dancing rapping and singing and they write and produce their own whole discography... Felix also has some amazing vocal range!!! but for more vocal heavy song... LEVANTER or THE STORY THAT WONT END or CHRISTMAS LOVE... but they can all sing and for a guide i would recommend you to watch a 2h one... because the others leave out a lot of fun and important personality traits of the members... they are not just the music artist... they aare so incredible AMAZING PEOPLE!!!!
Awe you’re awesome! Thx so much for watching
You can't go wrong with a "Bintro"! ❤
The thing is a lot of people are drawn to SKZ through the more heavily biased members like Felix and Hyunjin because they are the visual line and both have a very uniquely pretty quality to them (plus Felix's voice is so shocking) but often people either change their bias as they get better acquainted with the members' work and personalities or you develop a bias line/bias wreckers.
I was pulled in to SKZ by Hyunjin and immediately was drawn to Felix from there, but it turns out my bias line is 3RACHA with Han (the rapper you said was also pretty cute toward the beginning) as my ult bias and Changbin (initial rapper) and Bang Chan (initial pre-chorus vocalist) as my primary wreckers. Other members do wreck me from time to time so I'll be curious to see if Felix remains your ult bias as you get to know them better.
In terms of the video itself, once you get past the initial sensorial shock go watch it again and follow the lyrics. The sets are based on their process of creating their music. They're cooking up beats in the kitchen, racing to the front of the line as they propel themselves through the industry, experimenting in the lab (aka studio), and constructing their own style and empire. They are the ultimate creators in their MEGAVERSE, hence "God's Menu". It's really genius the way they tie it all together. And, bonus, this MV theme carries over in the costuming for the next song, "Backdoor", if you're paying attention.
You’re awesome 💜
@@YesterdaysYouthTV Nah just a STAY in a Stray Kids world. 😘
@ 💜💜
I can't believe I didn't comment on this reaction first watch! They are in the lab cooking up the tracks!
As a lover of metal/Rock and Felix you have to check out LALALALA !
That one is pretty high on my list! I’ll react to it soon :3 posting more on Patreon too
If you want to know how deep Felix can go, I recommend MEGAVERSE
Also, your music knowledge is awesome! I love learning something new from people who know more than me about music 🎉
I LOVE MUSIC and these guys are amazing so far
You should 100% check out Xdinary Heroes too. They're SKZ little brothers in many ways (same company) and they are very much more rock/pop punk/metal. Start with iNSTEAD! for screaming and either Good Enough or The Night Before Falling for a ballad. There ARE color coded lyric videos out there btw and most of SKZ stuff has captions (minus the Japanese releases) Also everyone loves Felix and Han, and yes they're all so cute
I’m interested! I’ll check them out asap
10:56 This is a reference to the "Back door" music video
🔥💜
I'm going to add my faves u should definitely check out!!!!
Easy
Victory song
Hall of fame
Lalalala
Mountains
Miroh
Awesome reaction keep it up :)
Thx so much! Another upload coming this week
I had never listened to anything kpop until I kept seeing Felix pop up all over my social media, I then proceeded to fall down the SKZ rabbit hole, which then sent me down the BTS rabbit hole. Changbin and Han are definitely my favorite 4th gen rap line.
You and I are exactly the same this way!
Thank you again for a great reaction! SKZ is definitely a rabbit hole! They cover so many genres, that everyone can find something that they like/love!
My only issue with your reaction is that the level of the music needs to be just a bit higher. You were making all of these great points about the music, but it was sometimes an effort to hear what you were talking about in the track. Other than that, I loved it! 🥰
Fair point, I’ll bump it up next video! Thx for watching :)
FELIX POWERFULL VOICE MY SUPER TALENTED SÍNGER😇🎀🖤🍓🌷💛
He’s amazinggggg
That Felix effect is no joke! Lot's of people have mentioned lots of great songs you should check out, but I also want to add Victory Song! That really highlights Felix's low range (along with Megaverse which at least one other commenter metioned) also check out Muddy Water!
I really wanna checkout Victory Song
You mention that the producer is the genius of hit songs. Are you aware that stray kids, in particular Bang Chan, the leader, produces and writes all their songs?
I am and they’re genius!
The intro is done by Changbin. STAYS say that songs with “Bintro” are always gonna be bangers!! ps. Just learn the TikTok challenges, their dances are known for being super hard lol!
It definitely slaps!!
I like they way you talk about what you expect to happen and then what actually happens instead
A lot of kpop has subtitles if you hit the CC button.
You should probably check out Xdinary Heroes, a band (like with instruments and everything) also under JYP, some metal influences there too
I’m down!
Dont forget to open subtitles ! Lyrics are awesome!
I’m gonna be making some lyric analysis videos on these songs as well :)
Ah you have already react to this song 👍👍👍 ❤❤❤ welcome baby stay 😊
Appreciate uuuuu
I think you should react to all their solo songs in their newest album SKZ HOP! It’d really give you insight on each of the members since all of their solos in that album are very personalized to them.
The next reaction video I’m doing is to Unfair! Might post it tomorrow:3
There is so much great music and you have just started
I’m ready for it!
For Felix going loooow...
Slash
Victory Song
🔥🔥🔥
If you're into anime, you should check out the other song they made with LiSA "Social Path", there's also SLUMP, which is part of the OST for theTower Of God anime, and their recent Japanese album GIANT, which contains Night and Falling Up, also for Tower of God and the song Saiyan (half of stray kids are really into anime, as you can tell). For a metal-feeling song, LALALALA is great (and the MV is awesome) and YAYAYA, a song from their beginnings that is pretty influenced by punk rock/grunge
Social Path is definitely next on my list!:) thx so much for watching
8:35 Yes, but you'll need to watch a dance practice video. LALALALA Dance Practice is a good one for that.
Haha I’ll give it a go
I love your reactions to our 8 talented kings! Welcome to the Stray Kids rabbit hole and to Stayville. Please keep on reacting to more of their music and also check other content because they are so funny & adorable people and amazing artists! Felix opened the door for me and ot8 (all 8 of them) closed and locked the door❤
I love them so far! I think Unfair might be my next song choice and I’ll be doing reactions to their live performances on my new Patreon 💜
Yes 'Unfair' is a work of art!
To completely blow your mind and take your breath away, I also recommend the song ‘Deep End’ and the live performance of ‘Rev it Up’, all by Felix. The vocal range of this man is beyond crazy... and his duality gives me whiplash every time😂
AND it's really helpful to watch "the complete 2025 guide to stray kids" by chandorasworld. It should be out here on yt in the next few days, so you can get to know all the members🫶🏼
@ thx so much :)
The metal to kpop pipeline is very real!!!
If you're looking for kind of more rockish vibes, I sooo suggest listening to the krock band Xdinary Heroes! Especially their song iNSTEAD! You could also check out another kpop group, ATEEZ, and their song Geurilla!
And if you're looking for more of rock like Stray kids songs, try Battle Ground, ROCK, Awaken, Hello Stranger, WHY?, and LALALALA (Rock Vers)!
Those bands I’m gonna checkout soon! Love heavy music
If you want to branch out to other Kpop groups there is a band called Ateez that has a song with metal elements called Guerrilla that I think you would like. Remember to turn on the closed captions for English Subtitles. The members of Stray Kids and Ateez are actually good friends, but Stray Kids is a bit bigger and more popular than Ateez although Ateez are definitely gaining momentum.
I’m stoked to checkout them out!
You'll dive in and find so much with Stray Kids. Based on your commentary, I'm going to recommend you check out:
1. TASTE by DanceRacha performance video. Has your boy Felix.
2. RED LIGHTS music video
3. MIROH music video, older, yet one of my favorites.
Additionally, their new album HOP showcases them all individually.
You’re amazing :) thx so much for watching!
give chk chk boom a watch. Also fun Choreo to learn 🤣(my 60yr old mom wants to do that dance when she hears if and loves the song haha) good songs... Giant, victory song, venom, maniac, and all the recent solos! (Literally any song... Too many to rec 😅) if you wanna check the other bubbly or soft ones they do... The view, your eyes, case 143, christmas love.
I have so many I’m stoked to checkout and your mom sounds awesome!
If you're up for it you should definitely check out Xdinary Heroes! They're a k-rock band, I think you'd like their cover of Drown by Bring Me the Horizon :)
I’d love to
tysm for reacting! i’ll leave notes on where each member is in the song (in your video reaction) below! it took me a while to get all their names down so no worries. i’d rather you enjoy the music and get to know each as they catch your interest than get pushed into trying to memorize them all at once :)
1:00 is changbin! one of the main rappers, frequently starts songs.
2:14 / 2:35 this handsome guy is han! another main rapper
3:00 is bang chan, the leader. the first three are all members of 3RACHA, which i’m sure EVERYONE in the comments talks about lol
3:45 is seungmin! the main vocalist.
5:13 is I.N, the second main vocalist. he’s also on the left at 5:45 (seungmin is on the right!)
6:30 is hyunjin, an incredibly talented dancer.
i couldn’t find a very good time stamp for lee know, but he’s to the right at 4:02, he has light brown/auburn hair in this one. he’s THE dancer.
and of course you know felix! i also fell into his rabbit hole despite not typically gravitating towards the most popular member. he’s just that good lol
if you are interested in more song recs:
chk chk boom is AMAZING. it really gives me similar energy to s-class and god’s menu, where they’re all kind of larger than life :)
you also said you’re interested in dance: after you watch the music video, this one has a “special performance” and i believe also a dance practice video. you could check those out! it has a signature dance move that looks impressive but is still pretty learnable!
since you like darker vibe songs (maybe?) and felix, MEGAVERSE is suchhhh a good song.
topline is a rap-focused song, one of my favorite songs of theirs. ughhhh it’s sooo good.
social path is a stray kids song featuring LiSA, just like the anime opening. tbh most of their japanese tracks HIT: all in is also fantastic song.
if you would like to check out something completely different from all of these, blueprint is very vocal-focused. it’s so pretty!
finally, LA LA LA LA is a great song. a little bit more like dubstep/phonk/edm-y if that’s your vibe? even if it’s not i would check it out. it goes crazyyy.
okay sorry final comment but they also just released an album (SKZHOP) with eight solo songs, one for each member! it would take a WHILE to watch all, but you could always break it up into a couple videos (or one for each) to get a feel for each member. i personally love all of the songs, but even if you don’t, it might help you get a feel for who you might like / which songs you might enjoy.
but that might also be something you want to hold off on lol, it’s a bit of a commitment to listen to all 8.
You’re amazing thx so much 🥺
They self produce and write their songs... their producing sub-unit is 3Racha. If you like UK drill, try their song 3racha
I definitely will:)
Felix is my bias. If you want to hear Felix his vocal range, listen to "Unfair" and "Deep End"
I’ve heard of these and I’m stoked to check them out
A lot of us Stay are metalheads. :)
Heck yea! That’s so awesome!!! I love Metal :3
Wait till you watch "Unfair" MV, a solo by Felix from Stray Kids🌚
I CANNOT WAIT
