Their last comeback was Hello, World with a title track called Test Me. Strawberry Cake was a b-side. Both Test Me and Strawberry Cake have mvs. The two have different styles of mv, but I enjoyed both!
Additionally, if you were to do a listening party to that album, I’d recommend watching the performance videos for the tracks as well as/instead of listening to the tracks on whatever platform you use to listen to music
PD, you actually missed "test me", which was their first comeback. They gave a lot of content during test me. If is on your possibilities, please react to the live performances of the bsides or the band practice videos, specially knock down bc it's a whole experience. Thank you for the reaction, have a nice day PD
im actually surprised you gave it a 10/10 alot of people didnt like it especially the chorus and said they prefer their other title tracks which is weird bc this song is so good!!!
i love how they feel like an all-out rock band with a heavy hard rock sound, and with each of their comebacks i only get more excited to see what they'll do next
They're the first K-Rock group I got into so I didn't know what to expect, but immediately I loved the creative direction they take in their music videos and, of course, they make awesome music.
I am super excited to see what else Xdinary Heroes release! They released one of my favorite songs of the year with Strawberry Cake off of their last EP so I am excited to see how they progress musically.
After listening to test me for months and then watching their covers and mvs i just couldn't help but love them. I think they are very unique and different from other kbands/groups and i absolutely love their little discographie.
I'm usually not that into rock, but Xdinary heroes somehow got me hooked All of their songs so far have been banger after banger imo (you should definitely check out their two albums overload and hello, world (especially that one)) and the members are also super super likeable, I really just couldn't help but (semi)ult them after their previous comeback Edit: Forgot to mention: KNOCK DOWN SUPREMACY
i'm glad you liked it, PD!! their first comeback was in july and their videos kinda have a storyline going on! hope you get to react - even off screen - to "test me" and pleaaaaaaase check their b-sides! they're working on the music as well and the bsides from the past mini album and this one are AMAZING!! each member has such an unique voice that work perfectly together. you should check strawberry cake as well (they have a performance video for it i think), really good stuff!" they have a antihero vibe going on from their music (and the mv as well), so that's why it sounds kinda spooky, but their music is reaaaaally nice! ((alsoooo, hoping to see your monsta x kihyun comeback because it was amazing!!! i think you'll like it))
I love XDinary Heroes from the start really 1. I Love Rock 2. I Love Circus Horror Sound 3. I Love Jooyeon's Visual First and Then When I Found Out HOW AMAZING HIS VOCALS IS guh! 4. I Love Jungsu's one and only iconic trademark voice 5. I Love Gunil's drumming ability and deep voice 6. I Love O.de's and Gaon's visuals and rapping 7. I Also Love Jun Han's visual oh and they are so funny and fruity as heck too, they're so Gen Z OMG I feel so at home looking at the maknaes actions, especially Jooyeon's weirdness in his TikToks 😭 because I am also a weird gen Z.
XH is one of my FAVORITE K BAND RIGHT NOW!! Even their Bsides are so good and no skip you should listen their Recent comeback *TEST ME* and *STRAWBERRY CAKE* and also their Covers are the best especially the TOMBOY, IMPOSSIBLE and HELLEVATOR. And mostly one thing i love these Band is they are so good and so stable at *LIVE PERFORMANCES!!*
So happy you reacted to this! You did miss their first comeback with "Test Me" (and the "Hello, World!" mini album, which includes the "Strawberry Cake" song you mentioned). I'd recommend checking it out because there's at least a couple of tracks there I think you'd vibe with, and they have a bunch of performance videos out for those B-sides. My reaction was similar to yours where I listened to the chorus for the first time and it was sitting at a solid 9 for me, but after a couple of replays I couldn't get the "get a haircut, get a haircut" and the soft humming parts out of my head. Insane. This comeback is super great and I can't wait to see how they evolve over the next few years. Their music sounds very, very promising and I love that they're all already involved in making it in some way.
fuck yes they’re the first k-rock group i know apart from quartz ig that gives a nod to elements of true of hard rock, and i love their concept and music soooo much. they’re just so talented and cool, i’m looking forward to their growth in the future ✂️✂️ this comeback was an absolute blast and the other songs in the album were really great and worth a listen, particularly zzz and x-mas. i’ve been listening to the songs since the cb lol it’s not letting me rest the music is just fucking awesome. glad you loved them too!
Do bands like day6 and nflying not have songs with elements of hard rock? Genuine question, I don't listen to their stuff, I just know they're k-rock (I usually stick to kpop)
@@raychances6251 they do, but usually they reserve them for b-sides. hard rock isn't popular in korea which is their primary audience, whereas xdh seems more internationally focused
First I thought the song was kinda okayish but once I read the lyrics it really spoke to me. I think getting a hair cut is a great metaphor for getting change when one is feeling down or lost
Omg I'm so glad you saw this one!! It's so good. Their last comeback's title track was Test Me. Strawberry Cake is a bside they did an mv for. Definitely still recommend it though, it's an amazing song. All their bsides are so good.
I love the fact that all the comments here are praising xdinary heroes, coz with their talents, they really deserved it 100%. You guys have great music taste. Also, the message in their songs are deep, meaningful and self-empowering not the usual kpop thing you heard. Plus they have this pleasing & jolly personalities off-stage. Stan XH! Let's go villains.
I cant even express in words how much I love this band!! They're all so talented and creative, I'm floored literally every time!! You gotta check out their cover for Stray Kids Hellevator!!!! I never knew I needed a rock version of that song and they totally made it their own! This is truely the most unique kband and just band in general. They have such a nostalgic feel to them. Their whole album and last album are so good!! Every song is a masterpiece! Also Strawberry Cake is my favorite from their last album and Ghost is my current favorite! Honestly groups like them and Onewe who make their own music is just always another level.
Love Xdinary Heroes. Their last album was great too!! Actually they are also impressive in cover performances. My favorite covers are ‘Impossible’, ‘Hellevator’ and ‘Tom Boy’. Btw. ‘Test Me’ was the last comeback title track.
I love how we can see their growth and their music evolving throughout the comebacks, hdd was the begining and then test me with the album was incredible and put a point in their style, and then they have shared the overload album wich is different than hello world in a more mature and dark way. I am personally thrilled to hear more of their music.
The comments have already mentioned what you missed. I’m just here to say that I really need K-pop fans (especially those of us who love rock) to give this band their flowers. They’re only just beginning their career but the music is fucking phenomenal. Their EPs are among the best released this year in K-pop for me! The guys you pointed out for their unique voices are the maknae Jooyeon (long hair) and Jungsu (grey hair). They’re the main vocalists of the group and once you hear the b-sides I assure you- you WILL be blown away. (by them and *all* the members!)
IDK WHYYYY i find the get a hair cut vocal fry chorus annoying at first but i kept having inexplicable goosebumps throughout especially from the chorus, post chorus and bridge and now I love all of the parts. also Jungsu's voice is literally one of a kind. a definite trademark for Xdinary Heroes timbre. definitely going to my eargasm list, with Pirate 😉
You missed their last song "Test Me" and their first mini Hello World. All the songs from their previous mini have live performances on their channel. Definitely check out Strawberry Cake and Pirates from their last album.
Please react to their previous releases as well. You'll definitely like them, they have a quite distinctive identity. Nothing that they've put out so far has been disappointing!
I would like to call their style "halloween punk rock" or something like that. They mix a lot of different genres of rocks in their songs, but the lyrics are mostly about conformism / doing what you want, which is typically a punk theme. And there's often something that reminds me of "halloween music", I can't pinpoint what it is yet (the harmony maybe ?). If someone have other analyses, I'm interested in it !
You should definitely react to their bsides i would say that their bsides are like the pinnacle to show off their talent and my god the lives are just godly now that they have been improving and their covers as well. They are just that amazing as a k-rock band
OMG I was waiting to see if you would ever check out Xdinary Heroes!! They had their first comeback in July with the title track "Test Me" (Strawberry cake was a b-side MV)
omg omg omg finally some xdinary heroes!!! I can't wait for your reaction to "Test Me" and I hope you'll react to their albums because they were both FIRE!!!
when you said it's 10/10 i'm- 🥺 kinda proud, no i'm absolutely proud of them!! 😭 they're getting better and better. and this comeback is the beeessst!!!! you better check their beside track and go to ghost and x-mas! 💖
they had a mini album in july, the album was amazing, also they've done a bunch of covers (day6, skz, etc) which are really cool, you could check those out on patreon at some point
I screamed when I saw this pop up on my feed. Thanks for reacting to XH again! I've been waiting for your input since your reaction to Happy Death Day. Super happy you like their new comeback!!! Overload is hella good, and they deserve all the awesome reviews!
Thank you for reacting to this, PD!!! I'm so proud of these boys, and the new album is FIRE! I'm so glad you called it a 10/10, because us Villains totally agree!!
oh i wasn't expecting this! happy you enjoyed it and just checked it out. I think you would enjoy their past and current album a lot. And if you could find the time I think checking out some of their band covers (they've done stray kids, g-idle, day6 and more) would be great for bonus drops on patreon. Anyways, happy to see you reacting to them again and hoping for more. take care pd.
Actually not only the lyrics of the song, but the mv itself carries the xh world lore so good. I was hoping for your reaction to test me mv because it was so cinematic and rich in details of their story... And test me is the begining to their storytelling which villains (xh fans) are still theorising about: - In the test me mv (to resume a bit the situation) xh join the ♭form a platform where they can make groups and practice music, and then go to a contest to see which band is the best. But ♭form is a rigged system with a winner already decided, so they hack into the system and win the contest because the people love their music, so actually they win because of their talents. - Having won the contest they propose the question "are they a villain or a hero?", which is the ending of Test me mv, leads to the events on Hair cut. - In the begining of test me mv we see the sign where they have been "the #1 group of the ♭form for 14 weeks" and they tell us to "join to be like xdinary heroes". This shows that despite having hacked into the contest the ♭form doesnt care because its a rigged system anyways, and it only cares that they bring attention to them. - As it shows they are finally famous and recognized, but they dont play music for other people in the mv, they just see them as celebrities, not musicians. - That's where it shows the mirrors scenes, showing that they are trapped in that situation they have put themselves in. And they say "i got to find a way out now" instead of wanting to bee seen as it showed on Test me mv. - The hair in the mv shows their burdens, the want of cutting it all out to be free. - They shatter the question of "are you a villain or a hero?" because it did never matter, ♭form only would have painted them as heroes if they did won fame. - They decide to burn on fire the carnival and report themselves to the police in order to be free from the ♭form. The submision is succesful and now its the turn of ♭form to decide wether to take action against them or not. I personally love their lore, their "origins of xdinary" series is fascinating because it fills on some gaps between the mvs and their story. I think their story of nobodys who love music and want to be seen to the famous and superficial stars that are tired of that fame and presure is incredible and well thought, and i can't wait and see how their lore develops as time goes on.
It was supposed to be released in October but the release got pushed back a week due to the crowd crush in Seoul. They left the original date in the m/v though. This is one of their storyline/lore videos, along with Happy Death Day and Test Me. The lore premise is them being over the fame and hype that Platform(bform) has forced on them from them winning the Battle of the Bands in 'Test Me' and wanting to not conform to the high pressure and standards set anymore. So the song itself can be interpreted to either them directly being done with the styles and looks Platform is forcing on them or a deeper meaning of being done with anxiety/pressure/etc and "cutting" it out.
actually, Hair Cut isnt their first comeback, but second! the first one was with the EP Hello world, the title track is called Test Me and it's really good, it would be great if you reacted to it, PD! Hello, World! has 6 tracks and ALL of them are AWESOME!! i was about to recommand one, but every song are my favorite lol a really no-skip ep. And the album Overload is their second comeback, also with 6 tracks and Hair Cut as it's title. my favorite songs are lunatic and x-mas, i'm just in love! but all tracks are great. please please i'm beggin y'all don't sleep on xdinary heroes, they're so talented but people keep ignoring their work and treating them poorly, throwing standarts of a group on A BAND and this is so unfair :(
they did an album called "hello world" before this you should check it out and if you can do can you do a reaction for their song "strawberry cake" it is their best song in my opinion
The song is even better live and somehow really sexy, but that may just be me 😅 but the distortion on “get a hair cut” and the soft “hmm hmm” hit different live
Thank you for you reaction PD~ I'm glad you like the song and understand the meaning, i think is a very cool way to represent that and i cannot stop listen to this song xd I can not wait for your catch up to Test me and Strawberry cake. Also PD, you miss Kingdom comeback "Long live the king" , i hope you can catch up to it too (sorry for my english xd)
please react to their first comeback "test me" and the ep for that comeback. As well as check out their ep with this comeback. All their songs are amazing. Pirates, and strawberry cake are 10/10
The intro sounds like Happy death day then the sounds change and reminds me of Circus of Stray kids with the circus creepy vibe then turned into hard rock, metal singing and Xdinary heroes reminds me a lot of Stray kids, sounds like Stray kids with rock! Xdinary Heroes has the creativity of structure that Stray kids has in their songs
BRO IM TELIN U, you GOTTA react to their last album, it’s just 5 songs and Frl every song is so good😭🤚🏼You gotta get on that or else ur missing out it’s literally one of the albums of the year for me🧎🏻but obvi no rush sending love💛💛💛
PD i really recommend you to watch another songs of them, they gave us mv's and a lot of live performances from their b-sides from the last comeback (Hello, World! album) and also some covers! They are worth it to watch! And as I'm a Villain (XH Fandom Name) I thank you for the reaction!
They've done some excellent covers as well a couple of my favorites are Tomboy and Hellevator. The first mini album Hello world has a MV for the title track Test me which also has a dance performance two version uniform and casual lol the uniform verison is more serious a MV for B side strawberry cake and live clips for the rest of the songs at the moment with the new mini album Overload we just have a MV for the title track Haircut🖤 if you do decide to listen to more I hope you enjoy and the fandom name is Villains
Their last comeback was Hello, World with a title track called Test Me. Strawberry Cake was a b-side. Both Test Me and Strawberry Cake have mvs. The two have different styles of mv, but I enjoyed both!
Additionally, if you were to do a listening party to that album, I’d recommend watching the performance videos for the tracks as well as/instead of listening to the tracks on whatever platform you use to listen to music
@@rmbz1015 great idea. The performances are insane
Please reaction their covers🙏🙏🙏🙏
PD, you actually missed "test me", which was their first comeback. They gave a lot of content during test me. If is on your possibilities, please react to the live performances of the bsides or the band practice videos, specially knock down bc it's a whole experience.
Thank you for the reaction, have a nice day PD
if im not mistaken he's already made one
@@juicce1546 he hasn't.
@@juicce1546 no, they didn't
i really recommend pd watch this other videos too!
"his voice" then "HIS VOICE" it jooyeon and jungsu's part aaaah honestly same reaction to all of their songs HAHA main vocals do not disappoint!!
im actually surprised you gave it a 10/10 alot of people didnt like it especially the chorus and said they prefer their other title tracks which is weird bc this song is so good!!!
Bruh what this is my favourite title track so far
This song is a grower for me
@@DorothyBanks tbh i liked it on the first listen but i can see how it wouldn't be for everyone
Maybe bcz this isn't their taste
this is my favorite title track by them yet.
pd… no joke, if you listen to this album you’re gonna shit yourself when you get to X-MAS, I feel like you’re gonna love it so much😭😭
i love how they feel like an all-out rock band with a heavy hard rock sound, and with each of their comebacks i only get more excited to see what they'll do next
They're the first K-Rock group I got into so I didn't know what to expect, but immediately I loved the creative direction they take in their music videos and, of course, they make awesome music.
They gonna set your standards high👍
I am super excited to see what else Xdinary Heroes release! They released one of my favorite songs of the year with Strawberry Cake off of their last EP so I am excited to see how they progress musically.
Strawberry Cake was SO GOOD
Yeah strawberry cake was so LIT ! I love that song so much
Their overload album is a 10/10 for me. Such a strong mini album. Please listen to it too!
Xdinary heroes is deserve to be more famous specially as international. It isn't just k-rock. They are really so talented rock band now
Strawberry cake is the b side of Hello, world! The title track is Test Me. The album is amazing and definitely one of my favorites from this year
Xdinary heroes is awesome
After listening to test me for months and then watching their covers and mvs i just couldn't help but love them. I think they are very unique and different from other kbands/groups and i absolutely love their little discographie.
Love XH more and more everytime they release something. And the intro with Metallica that was nice.
I'm usually not that into rock, but Xdinary heroes somehow got me hooked
All of their songs so far have been banger after banger imo (you should definitely check out their two albums overload and hello, world (especially that one)) and the members are also super super likeable, I really just couldn't help but (semi)ult them after their previous comeback
Edit: Forgot to mention: KNOCK DOWN SUPREMACY
i'm glad you liked it, PD!! their first comeback was in july and their videos kinda have a storyline going on! hope you get to react - even off screen - to "test me" and pleaaaaaaase check their b-sides! they're working on the music as well and the bsides from the past mini album and this one are AMAZING!! each member has such an unique voice that work perfectly together.

7. I Also Love Jun Han's visual
oh and they are so funny and fruity as heck too, they're so Gen Z OMG I feel so at home looking at the maknaes actions, especially Jooyeon's weirdness in his TikToks 😭 because I am also a weird gen Z.

PLEASE FULL ALBUM REACT, PLEASE!!!!!
Actually not only the lyrics of the song, but the mv itself carries the xh world lore so good. I was hoping for your reaction to test me mv because it was so cinematic and rich in details of their story... And test me is the begining to their storytelling which villains (xh fans) are still theorising about:
- In the test me mv (to resume a bit the situation) xh join the ♭form a platform where they can make groups and practice music, and then go to a contest to see which band is the best. But ♭form is a rigged system with a winner already decided, so they hack into the system and win the contest because the people love their music, so actually they win because of their talents.
- Having won the contest they propose the question "are they a villain or a hero?", which is the ending of Test me mv, leads to the events on Hair cut.
- In the begining of test me mv we see the sign where they have been "the #1 group of the ♭form for 14 weeks" and they tell us to "join to be like xdinary heroes". This shows that despite having hacked into the contest the ♭form doesnt care because its a rigged system anyways, and it only cares that they bring attention to them.
- As it shows they are finally famous and recognized, but they dont play music for other people in the mv, they just see them as celebrities, not musicians.
- That's where it shows the mirrors scenes, showing that they are trapped in that situation they have put themselves in. And they say "i got to find a way out now" instead of wanting to bee seen as it showed on Test me mv.

- They shatter the question of "are you a villain or a hero?" because it did never matter, ♭form only would have painted them as heroes if they did won fame.
- They decide to burn on fire the carnival and report themselves to the police in order to be free from the ♭form. The submision is succesful and now its the turn of ♭form to decide wether to take action against them or not.

XDINARY HEROES YESS😎😎💕
actually, Hair Cut isnt their first comeback, but second! the first one was with the EP Hello world, the title track is called Test Me and it's really good, it would be great if you reacted to it, PD!
Hello, World! has 6 tracks and ALL of them are AWESOME!! i was about to recommand one, but every song are my favorite lol a really no-skip ep.
And the album Overload is their second comeback, also with 6 tracks and Hair Cut as it's title. my favorite songs are lunatic and x-mas, i'm just in love! but all tracks are great.
please please i'm beggin y'all don't sleep on xdinary heroes, they're so talented but people keep ignoring their work and treating them poorly, throwing standarts of a group on A BAND and this is so unfair :(
i would love it if you would review their mini albums or at least check them in your own time. they're all bangers.
Please be sure to listen to the five songs of the last album, it is really amazing! ! This time is also good
You should watch their Strawberry Cake and Tomboy cover🤘🏼
they did an album called "hello world" before this you should check it out and if you can do can you do a reaction for their song "strawberry cake" it is their best song in my opinion
The song is even better live and somehow really sexy, but that may just be me 😅 but the distortion on “get a hair cut” and the soft “hmm hmm” hit different live
Thank you for you reaction PD~ I'm glad you like the song and understand the meaning, i think is a very cool way to represent that and i cannot stop listen to this song xd I can not wait for your catch up to Test me and Strawberry cake. Also PD, you miss Kingdom comeback "Long live the king" , i hope you can catch up to it too (sorry for my english xd)
Strawberry cake in my opinion it’s their best song and it has a mv
I have been waiting for your reaction. These boys are so talented and truly love their sound. ❤❤
screamed when i saw this!! i didn’t think you would react to it since you didn’t react to their last one
More xdinary contentsss!!!💞
please react to their first comeback "test me" and the ep for that comeback. As well as check out their ep with this comeback. All their songs are amazing. Pirates, and strawberry cake are 10/10
First k-band that I stan, they're amazing ❤️👏🏻
Omg thank you sm for reacting to them I would love to see what you think of strawberry cake
You HAVE to listen to their bsides from this and their last album please you're gonna love the songs. My personal favs are strawberry cake and ghost!
The intro sounds like Happy death day then the sounds change and reminds me of Circus of Stray kids with the circus creepy vibe then turned into hard rock, metal singing and Xdinary heroes reminds me a lot of Stray kids, sounds like Stray kids with rock! Xdinary Heroes has the creativity of structure that Stray kids has in their songs
Thank you for having XH on the list. Looking forward to your reaction for XH discography ^^
PD! You NEED to check out Strawberry Cake!
Not only one MV but 2 since they had Test me the title track of thr last mini album and Strawberry Cake one of the B sides get an MV
