      I don't believe they are underrated at all. They are more experimental and do not consistently put out "mainstream" pop style songs to get the 100m views you probably think they deserve. This is a group that puts out music that ages like fine wine, second best vocal GG after Mamamoo.

    i think the concept is that they're breaking in to the station to help the 'monsters' be seen in a better light. thats what i got from their preview film with the support group where the girls say they're gonna help everyone be accepted. i think this comeback really sold me on purple kiss as a group tbh. i love this quirky horror almost billie eilish inspired in terms of vocals and beats concept. we got it a little bit with zombie but now its all there in beautiful glory.

      @donyt4926 2 роки тому +19

      Yeah so the woman with the black hair and dress was acting as the “witch” on the show that was being broadcast by the broadcasting company they broke into. The people in blue were making it seem as though the objects they were holding were floating from the witch (like a green screen suit but blue). And the sitcom-looking show (along with the talk show) was making the witch and person with the many eyeballs seem weird/evil. The real witches (Purple Kiss) wanted to liberate themselves, and the other nerds, and show the world that they may be Nerdy, but they’re not bad, so they took over the broadcast and made everyone dance.

    The Korean lyrics are written “I’m a weirdo 덕 who let the 덕 후.” (Spacing included, I believe.) They’re playing with 덕후 (deokhu), which is otaku/geek. The first half of the line could be referring to being the ugly duckling if you want to interpret 덕 by itself as duck. But otherwise, they’re just playing with deokhu. It’s not a mistranslation per se, but it definitely is way too literal. I can also see how a translator might not know what to do with that line if they’re given the lyrics with zero context.
    Honestly, I appreciate that line after realizing that it fits well with the theme of just being your nerdy self. (Coming from someone who was made fun of for being an otaku in high school lol.)

  • @blackzenlite4611

    THIS is the direction that Purple Kiss should literally cement with themselves, like I can't describe the exact niche but they're perfect for this quirky, unique late 80s, campy horror concept. The type of, nostalgic, safe entertaining horror that you would see in classic Scooby Doo and Courage The Cowardly Dog cartoons. Nerdy is literally an electro swing song and I've always wanted a song of this genre from the girls! Zombie was the beginning of this quirky horror concept, it was an excellent masterpiece with the 80s arcade aesthetic with 70s disco funk influences sprinkled through the song. I hope they continue this niche, like Nerdy, Zombie and Pretty Psycho are CLASSICS already. All the best to these girls, they deserve a HUGE following, be it underground or mainstream.

  • @FelisLeo_

    The Disney-esque, quirky horror vibe makes me think of things like Beetlejuice and Hocus Pocus. I wonder how long before they do a murder mystery 'whodunit' concept like Clue or Knives Out? An alien abduction spoof? Or a goofy haunted house like Scooby Doo? They could even pull the mask off the ghost at the end and have it be someone from Mamamoo 🤣

    I didn't know about this group before randomly catching this MV on UA-cam, and I was an immediate stan. I went back and listened to their entire discography, their other MVs, all of it. I now know all their names, and I'm all in. Aside from my eternal group BTS, Purple Kiss is now my top group and easily pushed my prior top girl group, Blackpink, to the wayside.
    For me, it was 110% effective. I also really love that the slightly more subdued studio version makes for easier listening, while giving them room to really kill it on the live performances. Some groups can't ever live up to the studio version on stage- Nerdy looks better every time I see it and each time is better than the studio version. 11/10, I love it, and I want MORE Purple Kiss now!

    7:00 maybe not concept wise, but sound wise, Nerdy is litteraly Midnight Circus by Sunny Hill ^^
    But I agree, I think RBW ent. is pretty genius, they are lucky to be the "2nd to come" theory. The 1st to come is the one who creat a path, experiment, and start from cratch creating a "new audience" wanting more of the concept, here Dreamcatcher (to me, Vixx didn't stay enough in the horror concept to have really created a new concept, like if we think kpop horror, DC is in the front). Purple kiss, by coming 2nd, "take advantage" to the path created by DC, gathering attention to the people that got used to the GG horror concept and want more.. But unlike PinkFantasy and Pixy that, still didn't achieved to distinct themselves completly from DC (pixy a little more though), Purple kiss already achived that by using an emplty space in the ocean that is kpop concepts : "the cute-ish horror"
    To summerise :
    Dreamcatcher = fantasy horror
    Purple Kiss = cartoon/parody horror
    Pixy = dark horror

    Thank you for reacting to Purple Kiss "Nerdy". I was really impressed with the promotion that they did for this title track with their short films. The short films they did for "Memem" were good, but the ones this time around were on another level. The quality was good enough that if they decided to made a running series of the short films I feel they would go over very well.

    Purple kiss released a couple of short films prior to the comeback which have a story that leads up to the m/v. About being different and how monsters (fictional ones, like the eyeball guy) have human feelings as well. Also please react Kino’s “Pose” (from Pentagon) it’s definitely Taemin vibe’s.

    I’ve recently realised purple kiss is giving so much of the kind of music I want from kpop. Pretty psycho is one of my favourite songs. I wish nerdy had used more of the violin(?) instrumentals throughout the song. You can hear them in the verses and went wild for those 5 seconds in the bridge but I wish they’d gone bigger with it, in the chorus too.
    I think a lot of what I want from this song, pretty psycho delivers on. And that song already exists. But I still wish there was more instrumentals.

  • @ariake1989

    I actually feel like this is a song that works best within the entire album they released. Like, yes, it has to stand on its own for promotion in Korea (and I think it has on the live stages), but the entire Geekyland mini album was one of the only albums of the year that I have put on repeat beginning to end without skips or shuffle. Can definitely understand why some people aren’t feeling it as much, but the full album elevates it in my opinion (plus summer rain is excellent and not to be missed).

  • @rayneslash100
    @rayneslash100 2 роки тому +16

    This has definitely been my favourite Purple Kiss comeback. I really love this idea and sound, and they do it very well. I like that they're also linking it to real world discrimination, to an extent - they're clearly standing up against bullies and I've seen takes on the "witches" and "freaks" being metaphors for neurodivergent people, which is a concept I both appreciate, and think it's clever to focus on.
    I would like to see them let loose a bit more vocally, especially as they clearly have the skills for it, and I've only really got that in Meme, which probably departed the most from the quirky horror sound. I also wouldn't mind going back occasionally to the purer horror of Ponzona, because I really enjoyed that, but I think this version works best for them.
    It's really great to get your insights, as it makes me notice things I've missed, or wouldn't even think of, like how the moving shots emphasize the quirkiness. I was so excited when I saw the notification for this come up, as I'd been wondering what you'd think of it. Purple Kiss is the first group I've followed since pre-debut and I've always enjoyed your reactions to them especially. Thanks for putting this out there for us!

    I agree that this was the comeback that made me realize they were staying with this sort of unique, subdued sound and the quirky horror concept. After following their pre-debut solo trailers and eventually their full group releases, I thought they were gonna be another group like (G)I-DLE or Loona that tries to explore a new sound and concept with each comeback. Honestly, that seemed really promising to me and I was beginning to think they could potentially become my favorite 4th gen girl group (also taking their all-rounded talent into account). I still am impressed by them but I was surprised that they seemed to stick with the horror concept. However, I still do think they’ve explored different genres every cb while maintaining that Purple Kiss sound which I love. I hope it works out for them! They’re easily in the top 10 (if not top 5) most talented 4th gen ggs and definitely one of the most unique.

    What I found missing was mostly in the chorus. The catchphrases and the da-da-di, na-na-ni sounds make it feel a little bit empty. Notice when they sing "I love myself" and they leave that last syllable just hanging and then abruptly pick the melody back up. The instrumental of the song is top notch and what carries the song into something that is very enjoyable, relaxed and fun. Also, I think that post-chorus is not going to be for everyone since it didn't go hard enough (as PD mentioned), it kept the tone of the song same to keep that funky, nerdy, almost psychedelic vibe from the chorus. It was a nice surprise for me. I began to really like Zombie with consecutive listens, so will definitely listen to this more.

As a Somnia, Im pretty comfortable and happy with the horror concept, and I'm pleased to see other groups feeling comfortable with exploring it, and Purple Kiss' take on it is so far pretty damn fun. I really enjoy this group and they're sliding into my multistan list, they have some *amazing* voices on this team and overall they're pretty great. I agree they could have gone a little 'more' with the song, but I respect that they're staying within the feel they want to cultivate, too. Im glad that they're with rbw, and have a great 'big sister' in MMM, I hope they have continued growth and success!

    Idk what rbw is doing to promote purple kiss… but they need to step up their game. This song is an ABSOLUTE BOP! But got 0 recognition their views keep slowing down when they hit 10m.

    I felt that the song was chaotic in a purple kiss kind of way. I also really liked their concept and hope they keep doing it in the future. It’s weird but somehow it works really well.
    Also, in case you don’t know ILY:1 made a comeback with “Que sera sera” :)

    I think the letdown is because some of us want a “big hit show-winning comeback” for group recognition, but instead we get a _great_ PK song with multiple earworms. I first became a fan at Zombie, which is a full-on hoot from the get go. Then I looked up Ponzona and was initially meh. Except … the song kept popping up in my head over and over, and now it’s my favorite after Zombie! When Meme came out I thought, yeah, in my head, I know already!

    I think you understand the story behind the MV more if you watch their 2 story films released prior to the MV... it is about 7 witches who were in hiding, because of their peculiarities, coming out and being free, along with helping other "freaks" get recognised as normal and valid, in a world controlled by "normal" humans... and the title "Nerdy" also adds into that, loudly vocalising that being a nerd is okay

    Interesting thoughts 🤔 As a purki fan I 100% agree with you. My honest opinion is this sound will not benefit purple kiss. I read the comments and almost everyone is saying they had to listen to the song 2 or more times to like it.
    The thing is with Koop this is not the kind of reaction you want. You need to capture fans immediately, comments like this is a 'unique concept' often mean this is odd and not good. At this point in their career purple kiss need to get in the best fourth gen groups conversations because they are extremely talented and deserve attention else they'll get drowned in the flooded Kpop scene. RBW has failed to produce another iconic group since mamamoo purple kiss is their only chance hope they won't miss this moment. Memem and Nerdy are cousins experimental, shocking in the sense that there's too much going on, or strange sounds that draw attention but don't capture fans. I think B-side tracks like skip skip, pretty psycho, love is dead have that unique Purki tone and kpop feel. Trends change so fast in Kpop this is a girl groups era if purki's next comeback draws mixed reactions again I'm afraid they'll end being one of those groups that's neither here or there they are their companies last hope, the BG members will start to enlist soon, mamamoo may cease to exist in 2023 hope the company does well by them.
    Thanks for your honest reaction it's the only way to help the group grow 💜.

    That's the thing. It doesn't need to be loud and splashy bc THAT IS LITERALLY EVERY KPOP SONG. Purple kiss is doing something different (in current kpop), they are bringing a light that is very addictive in it's own way. And i hope they stick w it. Not every kpop song or title track needs to be noise music.

    It took me a few listens before I totally fell in love with this, but now I think it's great. I had been very much looking forward to you reaction and really liked it. I hadn't noticed the misdirecting the security guards before. I think the odd angle of a lot of the shots is intended to be them looking up at the security cameras. A commenter on another channel said the duck who lyric is the subtitler's mistake. That a Korean word for otaku sounds like duck who, and that's what she's saying.

    I dont really get the impression they are fully understanding the way english speakers use "nerdy".. because it really just feels like a random word to include.. I feel like "unique" would've been a better fit.. or maybe "loner"?? or "trend setter"?? Maybe im just misunderstanding the song myself lol.. Idunno!
    That being said, I get a bit of a "Billie Eyelish Bad Guy" vibe from this song and it really slaps. It's unique and I feel like that's ultimately what the song is going for.

    Before this comeback, Purple Kiss was not a group that I was paying a lot of attention to, but this song totally changed that. Dig the strings in the arrangement. Only thing is that, other than Yuki, the vocals of the other members blend together. Minor issue though. One of my favorite songs of 2022.

    I love this song. They are really special, IMO. They have the quirkiness and talent that makes me think of Red Velvet, even though their sound and aesthetics are DIFFERENT, I can see a lot of the same comments you made in this review being made about them, tbh - which is fascinating because it's not like I think they're similar really, but similar qualities that make me love them if that makes any sense. But they are NEW so I'm just very excited to see where they grow. "I'm the queen of the nerds" is just... I can't get enough of that moment. I like this particular song more and more every time I hear it. haha The quirky cute horror kind of thing reminds me of like... idk Addams Family or something? It's lighthearted horror? hahaa Haunted Mansion! haha yeah ok I get that a little :D Mischievous is exactly what I was going to suggest! But you got there without me, it's literally the vibe. I am quite a sucker for a killer bass line with interesting vocal approaches and techniques, though.

      I actually think if you could 'clash' Mamamoo and RV together they would work incredibly fine. And Purple Kiss to me kinda does that while still being their own.
      Also, since the gg Billie reminds me of RV now I want a PurKiBillie supergroup. I hope that happens 🤞

    Watch Midnight Circus by Sunny Hill if you haven't yet, PK built upon that concept and sound. Sunny Hill in particular had a creepy circus concept paired with similar instruments like the playful violin, PK in Nerdy are doing a similar yet reimagined and modernized younger version of the concept. While SH's concept included a centuries old traveling circus, PK are modern yet still referencing classic midcentury horror with Village of the Damned and Addams Family.

    i think this is my favorite purple kiss song yet, closely followed by pretty psycho, memeM might not even be on the list because there are so many other groups with a familiar concept
    i love everything about nerdy, the genre, the violins, the video and message and like you said they're really filling their big sisters mamamoo's shoes and its exactly what kpop needs more of again imo!!
    nerdy also holds up so well? it will take a while until i'll stop listening to it and i cant say that about some "louder" songs with more oomf
    and like, purple kiss and pixy often get put in the same category because they have similiar elements but they scratch two completely different itches and do it so amazingly well in their own representitve styles and i just love it so much

    Loved ur review as always. Ur expressions are a mood. Also, if you haven’t already, I would highly recommend checking out Purki’s Storyfilms. They’ve done them for the past 2 comebacks and they are so great, both in narrative and in film making. I am not a film maker so I don’t know the technique but they certainly put a lot of money and effort into making them clever and beautiful to look at. The members’ acting is really great in them and they are fun to watch both on their own and to find out more about their storyline. I would love to see a UA-cam reaction to those but that’s probably something more along the lines of ur Patreon stuff. Or ofc if you just want to watch them on your own time. Either way I highly recommend them!

    Really thank you to recognize RBW groups unique identity. All the groups are really their own universe, and don’t really try to follow the trends and copy others like many other groups where i don’t see different.
    Same i was expecting something else from Purple Kiss, but love this comeback again, it’s fun and really different than others groups.
    Did you watch the Concept film? it’s really funny and described well the univers of the MV. I really love those concept film.
    Also did you see that ONEUS Ravn worked of one of the b-track « Summer rain » ? it have one live video of it. It’s really pretty song.
    ~ be ready for ONEUS comeback in september (spoiler alert: Mix of ASWE, traditionnal, fairy,..)
