Great reaction! this song did i fact grow on me alot from 1st listen i ended up loving it later. For the concept it's weird for sure but I like how it's not really a love song, it's a warning. they are telling the object of their attraction once i have you in my grasp I won't let go (like a Alligator with it's prey) so it's a bit darker than alot of lovey dovey kpop songs which i like.
You're gonna LOVE the rest of Monsta X's stuff, their sound is very aggressive and their choreos are tight, they also have amazing melodies on top of their beats. Their title tracks have NEVER disappointed and they have been very consistent
Monsta X has music anyone can relate to. They have hard hitting music like Alligator & Shootout to ballads such as Newton and Because Of You. You can dig into their catalog and find something that suits you. Monsta X is for everybody. So if you want to listen to something and chill, they got you. If you want to dance to something, they got they got you.
Monsta X doesn't know how to not make a bop. Every song they put out is an instant banger and honestly I liked this one least of their comebacks and it's still amazing so please check out more if you like them!!
Thank you for finally reacting Monsta X!!!!!!!!!! Please check out more videos from them! Some songs are jealousy, shoot out, beautiful, all in, hero, stuck, dramarama, shine forever and fighter
yesss MONSTA X!!!!!! you should definitely react to more of them! I think if you listen to more of them you'll realize that they have a very distinct sound that is specific to them!!! some songs, SHOOT OUT, BEAUTIFUL, ALL IN, FIGHTER, DRAMARAMA, SHINE FOREVER, JEALOUSY!!!!
"big grass sticks" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!! Great reaction though, and I must say I kinda agree with you on the whole concept thing, even though it s very typical of Kpop, and by far not the weirdest concept I have seen come from there. But please do check out some of their other songs, their powerful, EDM type, sound is very unique in Kpop, and it has become a sound that many people immediately associate with Monsta X, however they really can do anything, and have some amazing b-sides that are more clean pop, rnb and even funk inspired. At least check out their title tracks, Trespass, Rush, Hero, All In, Beautiful, Shine Forever, Dramarama, Jealousy and Shoot Out. Top 3 of these for me, would be Hero, Beautiful and Jealousy.
Okay so at first i thought it was a weird title, but hear me out. The song seems to be about them being obsessed and almost stalking the girl they are interested in, which is the trait of an alligator the stalking and creeping that is. Then they keep mentioning pulling you into their swamp which is a thing that alligators do with their prey as they are much quicker and swift in water than on land, plus the mentioning of once they got you they wont let you go and shit, is a reference to the fact an alligator locks their jaw around their prey so it can't get away. It's a confusing concept but it works once looking into the animal behaviours of an alligator :) Plus bonus I.M and Jooheons raps are literally just like an animal planet description of an alligators behaviour which is a little cute for some reason
You gotta do some more Monsta X! I'd recommend Dramarama, Beautiful, Jealousy, Shoot Out or Shine Forever. All bangers. Shoot out was their last comeback before Alligator which is where this concept started.
You're finally reacting to Monsta X * - * Thank you so much! These guys needs more recognition! You should definitely check out Hero - Rooftop version and Dramarama!
the thumbnail got me clicking ayyy. but yea i feel like a lot of groups need a strong concept and monsta x is known for having a vey strong aggressive style of music and their mvs/visuals. wouldn’t be surprised if next concept was snake or something
The guy responsible for those harmonies is Andreas Oberg, who is also a world renowned jazz guitarist. He doesn't use any vocoders or plugins or anything like that as far as I know. He likes to mess around with interesting rhythms with his vocal melody and vocal harmony writing.
The rappers (Joohoney and I.M) and Wonho are producers and composers. Minhyuk and Kihyun they usually help with the lyrics too. Shownu and Hyungwon are choreographers, H.One (Hyungwon) is a DJ as well
One more thing, lol. Monsta x is probably one of the Greatest groups I've seen, maybe you will find interesting their music. I'll recommend you some songs. Trespass, Dramarrama, Beautiful, Jealousy, Hero, Crazy Love, Miss you, Shoot out, Lost in the dream, Myself, Underwater, All in, Now or never, Ready or not
Whoa this is the first you've heard from Monsta X? Im glad you enjoyed the song and even the video lol. I've always enjoyed seeing your reactions, especially to kpop since that's what I mainly listen to nowadays. It's nice to hear from a music producer's perspective on what's enjoyable about the song that I didn't notice on my own. It's like a pro finding those little easter eggs for us to enjoy. I'm annoyed at most of the comments who don't add anything about the current video and instead tell you to react to a different video :/ Thanks for the reaction!
Definitely check out their songs 'Trespass' and 'Shoot Out'. Also you should look into Seventeen more! 'Getting Closer', 'Home', 'Trauma', and 'Lilili Yabbay'.
I just discovered you, but I'm really glad you're trying to go in depth with the music you're listening to! Definitely will be looking out for more of your content!
Monsta X's discography is just so incredible and unique! You should have a listen to their side tracks 😍🙌🏼 Or their title tracks too hahaa dramarama is a good one
Secondly monsta x takes risks, I love that they do different concepts and make it work, I'm glad they aren't like other groups, I didn't even question the title of the song lolll I was like oop I know it's finna be flames.
This is why i like some musician reaction. I figure out something that i would never realize with my own ear..... Like 6:46 its very mindblown... I got goosebumps too
Thank you for reacting to MONSTA X, they knowing for charismatic group that can pull any concept, this ALLIGATOR is about 7 deadly sins concept which all 7 member separated in 7 different room/places thats resemble their own sins, and the scene like in swamp becouse the Alligator is there, the lyrics resemble the Alligator which they will wait then never let go of their target, even the choreo is mate with lyrics and they dance in the water as Alligator is extraordinary. You should watch their 1st seven deadly sins concept of them in SHOOT OUT its also a good song with hard instrumentall music. Also please check out DRAMARAMA too, its a good song with epic Music Video (about time travellers) 😊
Hi, I think you would really enjoy reacting to a new rookie group, ATEEZ. Their music production, composition, performance, everything is amazing and unique. Their debut songs are Pirate King and Treasure and latest comeback songs are say my name and Hala Hala.
THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS SONG I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO DO MONSTA X i love their style so much 😍 i also think the alligator thing is super weird but the more you hear it it just grows on you lmao. but monsta x’s rapline is no joke, they’re my fav next to bts bc those boys have TALENT. if you want to react to more monsta x in the future i HIGHLY recommend Beautiful it’s a *kisses fingers* masterpiece 😩👌🏼
This is the perfect song to describe Monsta X's style. BTW, I'm happy bcs you're the one that makes me listen more carefully, that makes me analyze the songs I love, understand and appreciate more the work of the producers
I bet you'd love their song Beautiful. And also, Alligator is because when an alligator clamps its jaws on you its doesn't let go. Also their song is on sins so once you sin its something that drags you down. (its all connected 😉)
Monsta X is indeed a group, worth looking into, they got a lot of bangers, thanks for checking out our boys Joey. Love the reaction. Edit: the rappers of Monsta are no joke, Jooheon and I.M are always clean with it. Their mixtapes are pretty dope as well, you should check Rhythm by Jooheon or Fly With Me by I.M sometime.
Some songs you should react to: 1) Day6- I Like You 2) Monsta X- DRAMARAMA 3) The Rose- sorry 4) Ikon- Love Scenario 5) CL- Hello Bitches By the way, Day6 I really recommend because they are an actual band, and they play all the instruments so I think it'd be interesting to see you react to their music
Please react to the other monsta x mv.. Like shoot out, spotlight, beautiful, jeleosy.. Please... Cos they are so amazing talented.. Or please react to their album please.. Are u there.. We are here.... The clan... Cos their music is so amazing... Thank you so much.. Can't wait..
"What do you call those things?.... Big... Grass... Sticks.." I couldn't describe it better even if i wanted to! Thank you a lot for reacting to Monsta X, as a monbebe i liked your video a lot, hope you could react to their other MV's as well, such as Shoot Out, Hero, Shine Forever, Beautiful and Dramarama.
Monbebes UNITEEEE ksbsmw we STAN TALENT! Edit: I think this is the first time I seen him talk abt more than the production 😭😭😭😭 monsta x can do that to you.
Thank you for giving these amazing guys a change and recognition. They are amazingly talented and deserve more love from around the world. Thx again and keep up the awsome vids
Monsta X has a really unique and awesome sound. And lol they are dorks. And that is reflected in their music so its playful yet weird metaphors and fun stuff alot. I would love it if you check them out more. Thanks!
I agree with you about the title and concept "Alligator", it's really weird. When I first listened to the song I was weirded out by all the times they say alligator, hahaha. But the song grew on me, now I love it but I still think is a bit weird.
Maybe they wanted to convey a more dangerous or toxic concept of falling for someone, as opposed to comparing the feeling to something lovely. Maybe it’s a little cheesy, but that’s just my take, what you said makes sense. You were right when you guessed that this is kindof Monsta X’s style when it comes to producing and concepts, they do a lot of this dark analogy with many of their title tracks. Overall a great analysis of a song I love!
Thank u for reacting to monsta x..I just want to say that they have the best main vocalist and vocals ..plus the the amazing rappers..they are dope😉😁...its wierd but that's their unique colour of music..
*I know what you're thinking...and the answer is YES..
i fired the guy that makes my thumbnails.*
Why?
you know..i just love ur reaction
Great reaction! this song did i fact grow on me alot from 1st listen i ended up loving it later. For the concept it's weird for sure but I like how it's not really a love song, it's a warning. they are telling the object of their attraction once i have you in my grasp I won't let go (like a Alligator with it's prey) so it's a bit darker than alot of lovey dovey kpop songs which i like.
YES
Well you picked maybe the wrong song as your first monsta x mv react to shoot out and you will see real music
You're gonna LOVE the rest of Monsta X's stuff, their sound is very aggressive and their choreos are tight, they also have amazing melodies on top of their beats. Their title tracks have NEVER disappointed and they have been very consistent
Omg you should react to Shoot Out, Jealousy, Dramarama, and Stuck by Monsta X! They really show the sounds of Monsta X the best I feel
Monsta X has music anyone can relate to. They have hard hitting music like Alligator & Shootout to ballads such as Newton and Because Of You. You can dig into their catalog and find something that suits you. Monsta X is for everybody. So if you want to listen to something and chill, they got you.

Monsta X doesn't know how to not make a bop. Every song they put out is an instant banger and honestly I liked this one least of their comebacks and it's still amazing so please check out more if you like them!!

OMG..I'm so glad you are finally doing Monsta X..these are my boys!!!!

When shownu smacked us with the reverse i knew he was going to pause it
Thanks for your reaction to Monsta X!
Their rap line gives me goosebumps everytime

Dramarama, Beautiful, and Jealousy are probably some of my favourite songs from them in terms of production.
Monsta X songs wakes up my senses..they go hard..they always keep up their unique style..😎
The rappers (Joohoney and I.M) and Wonho are producers and composers.
Minhyuk and Kihyun they usually help with the lyrics too. Shownu and Hyungwon are choreographers, H.One (Hyungwon) is a DJ as well
Sayuri Akira Yuu My dude, you might want to change rapers to rappers. V different implications
MORE MONSTA X!! They have really dope music, a lot of energy and rap lines super cool!!!
Hoping for another Monsta X reaction vid 💜 Shoot Out & Dramarama are great 👍
One more thing, lol. Monsta x is probably one of the Greatest groups I've seen, maybe you will find interesting their music. I'll recommend you some songs.
Trespass, Dramarrama, Beautiful, Jealousy, Hero, Crazy Love, Miss you, Shoot out, Lost in the dream, Myself, Underwater, All in, Now or never, Ready or not

8:06 MOOD, the choreo is amazing!
I'm hooked with them (Monsta X) because of their songs tbh. Everything into it. The vocals. The rappers. The dancers.
Monsta X's discography is just so incredible and unique! You should have a listen to their side tracks 😍🙌🏼
Or their title tracks too hahaa dramarama is a good one
YESSSSS MORE MONSTA X PLEASE
"What are those called? Grass sticks" - Joey Nato 2019
MONSTA X - HERO /You gonna like it
I actually liked aligator for it's concept lol. it's so much more unique than all the other songs that try to tell the same story
Secondly monsta x takes risks, I love that they do different concepts and make it work, I'm glad they aren't like other groups, I didn't even question the title of the song lolll I was like oop I know it's finna be flames.
This is why i like some musician reaction. I figure out something that i would never realize with my own ear..... Like 6:46 its very mindblown... I got goosebumps too
Shout out to all “big grass sticks” out there! 🌾🐊🌾🤣
Thank you for reacting to MONSTA X, they knowing for charismatic group that can pull any concept, this ALLIGATOR is about 7 deadly sins concept which all 7 member separated in 7 different room/places thats resemble their own sins, and the scene like in swamp becouse the Alligator is there, the lyrics resemble the Alligator which they will wait then never let go of their target, even the choreo is mate with lyrics and they dance in the water as Alligator is extraordinary.

When I saw the thumbnail I finally realized that Joey Nato is bestest boy and should be protected at all cost.
This is the perfect song to describe Monsta X's style. BTW, I'm happy bcs you're the one that makes me listen more carefully, that makes me analyze the songs I love, understand and appreciate more the work of the producers
I bet you'd love their song Beautiful. And also, Alligator is because when an alligator clamps its jaws on you its doesn't let go. Also their song is on sins so once you sin its something that drags you down. (its all connected 😉)
You speak the truth
Monsta X is indeed a group, worth looking into, they got a lot of bangers, thanks for checking out our boys Joey. Love the reaction.
Edit: the rappers of Monsta are no joke, Jooheon and I.M are always clean with it. Their mixtapes are pretty dope as well, you should check Rhythm by Jooheon or Fly With Me by I.M sometime.
Some songs you should react to:
1) Day6- I Like You
2) Monsta X- DRAMARAMA
3) The Rose- sorry
