•God's Menu, Back Door, Thunderous, Easy, Maniac, Venom, LaLaLaLa, Megaverse, Miroh, District 9, Hellevator, Levanter, Grr, (I recommend you also watch Dance Practice), Side Effect (video performance).

Welcome to the rabbit hole. I used to be a metalhead too for many, many years, and now I'm obsessed with Stray Kids... they are something else, ne of a kind... I'm also 40+ years old, but in our fandom, there is an age range from 5 to 80 years of age .. I highly recommend megaverse.... I'm totally obsessed of this song
So glad to see more older Stray Kids fans! I'm in my 30's and have been a fan of niche Japanese Symphonic metal bands since I was a young teen but Stray Kids really roped me in. I only listened to Kpop sparsely here and there because I like Japanese anime and music so UA-cam would suggest one BTS or Exo song to me once in a while (and older bands back in the day) but that's about it. Stray Kids really are something different. I listened to one song and got hooked.
@cheezarose I can totally agree. I used to listen to metal back in the days but SKZ pulled me in with grrrr since day one. There is not one bad song in the whole discography
I recommend checking out: Lalalala (latest title track) Gods Menu Megaverse (bside from latest comeback) Thunderous Maniac They are a 8 member group aged 23-26, completely self produced and write all of their songs (specifically 3racha which consists of 2 of the main rappers and the leader). Leader and deep voice guy are australian. The leader chose all of the members himself, which is very rare in kpop. Their music videos are always insane, with high budgets lead by a great director (many pros call their mvs the best in kpop)
I cracked up so hard when you said “what do I do with myself now?” I feel the same man. Same boat as you I think. 46, married with kids and I’ve been down this Kpop rabbit hole since 2020. It’s been an amazing discovery for me and my daughter. Now we go to all of these Kpop concerts now. Looking forward to your journey man.
Me too...my daughter found them, forced me to listen to them and my life changed. Her and I are so obsessed now. She's 17 and I am 43....age doesn't matter. These guys are just amazing and appeal to every age. ❤ I have over 130 of their songs on my Playlist. Only 6 songs that aren't Stray Kids.
I'm in my early 30s and a metalhead as well. I discovered Stray kids when they released Thunderous and fell down the rabbit hole. I introduced them to my 9 year old daughter and she loves them now too.
About Stray Kids: 3Racha - Stray Kids' main writing and production unit, consisting of Bang Chan (the leader of Stray Kids), Changbin and Han (two of their main rappers) Bang Chan was an idol trainee at JYP for several years. While waiting to debut with a group, he formed a rap group called 3Racha with two other trainees, Changbin and Han. They wrote and produced their own music. JYP gave Bang Chan the highly unusual opportunity to help develop his own idol group (which they did through a reality show, but Bang Chan had WAYYYY more say in picking the members than pretty much any other idol trainee in the industry), and when Stray Kids was formed 3Racha was absorbed into that group. 3Racha still performs on occasion. Several of their songs / videos are posted on UA-cam. They write and produce (and often compose/arrange) the vast majority of the music for Stray Kids. But over the years the other members have also gotten involved in writing and production. ---------------------------------- Stray Kids debuted in 2018. They started with 9 members (in their early videos, you'll see 9 people performing) but Woojin left in Oct 2019. Stray Kids have been an 8-member group ever since. ---------------------------------- DanceRacha - their main dance unit (Hyunjin, Felix (the deep-voiced guy), and Lee Know). But all 8 members dance very well. ---------------------------------- VocalRacha - their main vocal unit (Seungmin and I.N). But again, all 8 members have great singing voices and they switch around on lead vocals, depending on the song. ---------------------------------- Main rappers - Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix - however unlike many K-pop groups, all 8 members can and have rapped, depending on the song. ---------------------------------- Languages: Bang Chan (the leader of the group) and Felix (deep-voiced guy) are both Korean-Australian, so English is their first language. The other 6 members speak English with varying degrees of fluency. All 8 members are fluent in both Korean and Japanese. The group can sing and rap in all three languages. ---------------------------------- Not all of their music is super hard all the time. Stray Kids also write / sing beautiful ballads and have also written a few songs for K-drama, anime and video game soundtracks. They also collab with / produce for other idol groups and individual artists from Korea, Japan, China, Thailand and the U.S.
2:41 YES! finally someone who gets it. Stray Kids love to experiment and take risks without caring about what’s actually trendy at the moment. they make their music themselves and make it for their fans to have fun and enjoy. they are definitely special and one of a kind! that’s why they have such a huge fanbase, they connect with their fans with how genuine they are. they LOVE making music and performing and do it with pure passion.
So, overall S-class is both a special song to me, and not even breaking my top ten Stray Kids songs. 5-star was the first album they released after I considered myself a fan, but they have over 150 songs in their immense discography. Some details - they are an 8 (formerly 9) member group under JYP entertainment. All the members were selected by their leader, Bangchan and participated on a survival show (called Stray Kids) to see who was ready to debut (spoiler alert- all 9 make it in the end). What sets these guys apart is that not only were the members selected by Bangchan (this doesn’t happen in kpop), but they are almost entirely self-written and self produced since day 1. I think the only songs that none of the members wrote or composed were from OSTs. They don’t have specific roles as all the members can sing, dance and rap and even write the music - as all members have a range of copyright credits (though the gap from least to most is huge I think the lowest has 12 and the highest hit 183 song credits). I think Maniac and Lalalala are good next videos. My journey started with Maniac and Freeze, then went to Thunderous, God’s Menu, Case 143, Back door and then Hellevator.
As a fellow metal lover, anything off their 5-STAR will definitely be up your vibe. Hall of Fame, ITEM, & Super Bowl are some of my faves. LALALALA, their latest track, also might be good for you!
Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids, one of the few Kpop groups that produces 99% of their music. Amazing singers, rappers, dancers, lyricists, producers, with great stage presence and charismatic personalities. This is an extremely talented group with over 180 songs to their credit. All of their songs are great for different reasons, so you can pick anything and you won’t be disappointed. Their MVs have gotten better and better and they are now some of the best in the industry. They love to experiment with their music and you can always find some hidden gems in their production, even their B sides are great giving everything they have for each album. I recommend Megaverse next.
A little more info about Stray Kids: They are a multi-award winning and record-setting (as far as pre-release / post-release album sales) group who perform in countries around the world in completely filled stadiums that hold upwards of 50K / 60K people, as well as performing incredible, bring-down-the-roof performances at various awards shows. They have been featured in Rolling Stone magazine, Billboard magazine and Time magazine, among many, many others. One example: in 2020, Time Magazine said they had one of the top 10 songs of the entire year. They were the only K-pop group on the list. They have won rookie / male group / album / dance performance / single song / global artist and producer awards at the MTV VMAs, the Billboard Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, the People's Choice Awards, the IHeartRadio Awards and many, many awards shows throughout Asia. They received a special award from the Prime Minister of South Korea. They consistently are among the top groups to be played on Spotify and other streaming music platforms. Their songs have been on Billboard's Hot 100 and Global 200 charts, and four (4) of their albums have been no. 1 on Billboard's top 200 album chart. .......just to give you an idea. In other words, Stray Kids are quite talented and very popular the world over.
SKZ has so many cool songs that it's really hard to recommend just a few. Among Stray Kids' songs, I'll tell you songs that have their own personality and uniqueness that you can say is really Stray Kids' song. god's menu, Easy ,Back door , Thunderous, FREEZE, MANIAC, VENOM, CASE 143, GET LIT, MEGAVERSE .
Absolutely loved your reaction; so down to earth and appreciative of all aspects of the MV. Not too much pausing, no distractingly chaotic hype... just a chill, authentic reaction where you really focused on the video! LOVE IT. Off to see your other ones! And I agree, that bass line was SICK AF. Stray kids out here collecting new kpop fans like pokemon is where it's at!
What do you do with yourself? Listen to more stray kids. That's what you do with yourself. Stray kids is known for the transitions in MV's and hitting a lot of different genres in 1 song. That's mostly their title songs though and some of their b-sides. They have a lot of different styles, slower paced or only hiphop or rocky songs aswell. They've released an insane amount of albums over the past 6 years. Once you've done some of their music, you'll be happy to dive into their personalities, stray kids is ridiculously loud, ridiculously good friends and ridiculously funny. Oh and I guess s-class is somewhere in my top 50 songs of them. I swear, their songs are so good.
Stray kids write, produce and compose all of their songs as well! They have a sub-unit called 3racha (consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) who are the producers!
Omg omg omg EVERYBODY STAY CALM! I used to love watching your reactions to Naruto and to see that you've found what has quickly become my obsession is amazing 😊 S-Class is such a difficult song to be your first introduction into stray kids because it switches up so much! Stray Kids is very much an experimental group and you will find if you listen to lots more of their music that they hit so many genres because they love to change their style! If you're interested to know as well, they are a self made, self producing group comprising of three sub-units; 3Racha (producing), danceracha(dancing) and vocalracha(main vocalists) although that being said all 8 of them can fill any role needed they're just that good 🤣 the Leader, Bangchan (you commented on his beautiful voice in the second chorus) chose all the members himself and as part of 3Racha writes the lyrics, composes and produces the music along with Han and Changbin!! I highly recommend going through their total tracks first such as Gods menu, Maniac, LaLaLaLa but don't miss out on their b-sides because they're so so good! Megaverse, item, hall of fame, cheese, easy, side effects. There's so good songs! I'm really excited to see your journey through discovering stray kids if you chose to listen to more of them but they are so worth it ❤️
Welcome to Stray Kids, they actually are a genre on their own. From the beginning ( in 2017/18) they struggled to be understood by the Kpop music industry, they kept breaking molds musically. Their music blends in many music genre’s into a single song( an older Stay - the fandom name) once you have the initial songs under your belt try going back to their beginning. Warning: 😉 their music is addictive ( in a wonderful way) the song are uplifting, even their more serious lyrics will show a strength and vigor. All that said… all of Kpop has remarkable music and as Chani (aka BangChan- our fearless leader) says and instructs Stays to show respect to the talent and music of other groups! Gotta love a young man who is such a kind and devoted leader and he’s one hell of a beat writer !
As a lover of hard rock and a newly minted stay that never understood the attraction of K-Pop I can testify that Stray Kids are AMAZING!!! Their music is revolutionary!
Stray Kids are it!!! This is one of my favorite videos and songs. Another good one is All In, the video and vibes are just fantastic. Miroh, Venom, and Hellevator are also fantastic! Love the reactions!
Battleground, THUNDEROUS, Venom, Hall of Fame, Superbowl, TOP, Miroh, MEGAVERSE, Circus, the ENTIRE ROCK-STAR ALBUM. SKZ does not miss. Welcome to StayVille, Stays welcome you!
I love S-Class, one of my favourites, mostly because of this insane hip hop switch after the first chorus. You just can't land wrong with Stray Kids, they have amazing and eclectic discography, the transitions (musical and visual) are their signature style. I recommend Megaverse. It hits really hard.
Skz songs are all different but their title tracks usually keep to the switch up formula. They dress to impress but their best work is usually in the b-sides. I like s-class. Lalalala is good, Thunderous is one of their best titles. Miroh is awesome but my favs are: Easy, Megaverse, Double Knot, TOP, Vicory song, Lonely st, Venom... They have over 180 self produced songs so it doesn't get boring
You’re going to enjoy exploring stray kids music and their videos! You can’t go wrong with any song or MV. Their discography is so wide genre wide. In the newer vids i recommend megaverse and venom, going a bit older i recommend easy or double knot ❤
I've been obsessed with stray kids since I found them a few months ago. Go down the rabbit hole, you won't regret it. Subbing for more! Lalalala, gods menu, thunderous, maniac, venom, top line...they have sooo many good songs. They are one of a kind❤
Thank you for Reacting to my boys Stray Kids I really enjoyed your genuine reaction you seemed very interested and engaged! They're a self-producing 8-member group who are known for their experimental hype beats, and transitions but have a wide variety of genres within their discography! Their fandom name is called STAY. I first discovered Stray Kids back in 2020 during the pandemic with God's Menu and I was HOOKED instantly. When you explore more of Kpop you will come to realize Stray Kids are different from the rest. I had fallen down the rabbit hole and fell in love with their entire discography, the members themselves, and their chaotic personalities. Highly recommend Gods Menu, Venom, Megaverse, Maniac, Freeze, Easy.
OMG i clicked when I saw stray kids. I think they don't have an age range. Music is just Music. And them make it easy for all people to listen. Music production is always SOOO CLEAN cuz they PRODUCE THEIR OWN They've been working crazy hard for great bangers to be released. They're known for their switch ups AND transitions ;) Stray Kids Song Rec: LALALALA (rock) TopLine (more of a rap song) Cover Me (vocal soft song) Maniac (electropop trap?? maybe) MEGAVERSE (BANGERRRR)
You picked a fever dream of a video for your entry to SKZ. HA! S Class is like 8 songs in one. Glad to see you went on to look at some of their other videos as well.
Because Stray Kids are not the usual Kpop group and since they write and produce their music, each album is a story of their journey. I recommend starting at the beginning and with each album you can hear the growth in their music. I also recommend watching their Survival Reality show called Stray Kids, The Kpop industry on the decline in the2010's and JYP decided to try an unconventional way of creating his Kpop group. The leader of Stray Kids Bang Chan (Chris) was a trainee for 7 years, so JYP, instructed him to select the members he wanted to debut with him. He stared with Changbin and Han, who he was already working with known in the Kpop Underground as 3Racha. Then came Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. There was a 9th member but us Stays don't talk about him. They have a lot of content for fans, and you will get to see the strong bond between them and realize that they are just as devoted to each other as they are making music and performing. They are arguably the Kings of the Kpop 4th generation.
Surly somebody has told you that Stray Kids write and produce their own music and make their own beats, but if by some chance you don’t know that yet…Now you do. If you want more Stray Kids try Megaverse, God’s Menu, Venom, and Topline. P.S. and Lalalala. Thank You.
They are amazing live, they participated in a competition called kingdom legendary war where six groups went head to head over ten weeks, all the performances were live Stray kids did Ddu du Ddu du a mix of a black pink song and their own gods menu it was dead pool themed and just amazing thank you for the reaction great energy
Yes! Thank you!! stray kids are THAT group.. so unique. I know for a fact that you're just gonna lose it if u react to their LALALALA. Music-wise and visual-wise
From one metal fan to another, If you like this you would LOVE ATEEZ. Halazia, Bouncy, Crazy Form, Pirate King, The Real, Say My Name... basically anything by ATEEZ. Trust me on this. I'm not even an ATEEZ stan.
My first skz song was gods menu. Funnily enough I discovered them watching a metalhead reaction channel when I got caught in the electric callboy hypa hypa reabbit hole and they reacted to skz 😅 and now I’m a Stay (fandom name) can’t wait to see then live in London later this year. Stray kids are known to mix genres in their songs the title songs/ singles go hard but they do have a bunch of other genres/slower vocal heavy songs too. They write and produce their music (especially 3 off the members known as 3Racha but all 8 have songwriting credits) also they’re involved in the arrangement a lot of the time too.
Welcome to Stray Kids rabbit hole journey with us STAYS. Stray Kids are on a different K-pop level. Stray Kids Transitions, Visuals, Lyrics, Vocals, Rapping Music, Beats and Dancing all on whole different level. All 8 members Rappers, Vocalists and Dancers. One need to watch Stray Kids Music Videos to the very end. Stray Kids give clues throughout or toward end of their music videos at times for STAYS. 'God's Menu' Clue left toward end of video for next video to watch after watching God's Menu. 'MEGAVERS' Clue left toward end of video. 'FREEZE' Clue left toward end of video. Also Stray Kids left clues in their Short Film Movies for STAYS.
2:43 SKZ are the flagship risk takers of KPOP imo.... they love experimenting with their music, considering that they're the ones that produce all of their music. This is what makes their music more real and appealing to me. ❤ Btw, new subscriber here! Joining in to see your SKZ rabbit hole journey! 😅
Welcome to Stayville, Stray kids are very dynamic group varying from different genres, comprised by their producers 3racha aka 3 of the members of the group, my personal favoirte albums are NO easy, Ordinary, 5-star and Rockstar album. the songs i recommeded By SKZ are freeze, venom, maniac,gods menu, backdoor,thunderous, domino, easy, charmer, Lonely st, item, superbowl ( * superbowl has 2 versions, i recommded hearing the original which is in english then the japanese} Hall of fame, Topline, fnf, Collision, Megaverse, LA LA LA, comflex. Then down the road you could rreact to case 143, redlights, Some SKZ records/recording like "Up all night. Other songs likes social path, also "Hellavator { Their first song"}, miroh, side effects and more. Also Skz is divided in certain sub groups thus consisiting of the producers/rap, dance, vocal Metal head huh I recommended Guerilla by Ateez
Always a pleasure to see people enjoying SKZ, especially for the first time. They are almost too innovative for a lot of people and write for, and produce, themselves. Looking forward to your future reactions.
Maniac was my 1st song , S-Class was my 1st SKZ come back. All songs mentioned are all 🔥. After a little over a year of knowing about them and listening to every song they have produced, I have yet to find even 1 I don't love. Subbed for more of your reactions. Thank you
Dude getting into Stray Kids is WILD. I love S-Class because it feels like they purposefully had a million different styles of music to show off that they ARE “special”(as the line says) and showing how many styles they can do and how WELL THEY DO IT!!! Also as someone with adhd…s-class hits every spot for me haha. Literally cannot get bored or distracted there’s so many sounds and beat changes it’s like an adhd DREAM!! My toddler also loves it lmfao
You have done both of my favorite boy groups. I love them because they have the rare creative freedom that you don’t see a lot in K-pop but thankfully I think that is slowly changing. Like BTS, the rap line does the majority of the writing, production, concept, etc. stray kids are unique in their sounds that they use to make their songs. Although I am not a big fan of girl groups, Black Pink and XG I’d say are my two favorites. XG are unique in that they are Japanese but since sing in Japanese, Korean and English, although now it is mainly all English for their main songs and MVs. They are CRAZY talented and I think you will really like them. Thanks for giving K-pop a chance and I love watching new people fall in love with their music and talent. 💜
Stray kids music are known as their own “stray kids genre”, they like to experiment with music and musics are their play ground. They are multi million self produced boy group and their fandom name is “STAY”, i am a proud STAY 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Stray Kids is my favorite kpop band. They are so good and so involved in their own music. They write all of their songs and produce the majority of it themselves. Some of my favorite Stray Kids tracks are: Thunderous, God's Menu, Back Door, Venom, Freeze, Case 143, Red Lights And these are also my faves that I don't see get recommended as much: Mixtape #4, Mixtape: Oh, Sorry I love You, Taste The members also release solo tracks here and there. There my absolute favorite is Changbin's "Streetlight".
youre probably the favourite kpop reactor ive seen, you read the lyrics but dont speak over the lines, you recognise the camera work and post editing, you have an appreciation for the choreography. love it dude
Lets goooo man Stray Kids never disappoints you'll love the other songs! You should first react to the most popular ones so: Maniac, Thunderous, Megaverse, God's Menu, Red Lights and Backdoor. Btw there's a live version of S Class with a band (the bass is filthy in this one🔥), since you're into metal there's a good chance you'll particularly enjoy it!
Strays Kids is member produced--members (mostly the three member production team, 3Racha) write and are deeply involved in production of almost all the non-cover work they release (there are a few solo works that were written by the soloist and entirely produced by outside producers, and some songs have outside co-writers. Because of the complexity of their work, they also bring in multiple collaborating producers to get exactly the sounds they want). Favorite of the harder hitting songs are Venom, Easy, Topline (that's got some retro style rap and has a gorgeously grimy-basement brass bassline), Domino (no video but check out the dance practice), Freeze, and their debut title, District 9, God's Menu. Some of their earliest releases are surprisingly great. Their very first release was Hellevator (half of them were 17 or under when they recorded the song and video but it's really good) and it stands up really well. Check out their "busking" performance of Yayaya from the survival show where the group was formed, it has hints of '90s grunge in it, among other things, and the performance video of Beware--Song of Grrr from that same era is really fun. Victory Song is also cool. Moving into not as hard but super cool, in Back Door they play with some great R&B bass, and Thunderous slips some traditional Korean storytelling gestures and rhythms into modern rap, throws in car horns, alarms, traditional instruments and pretty much the kitchen sink, and the video is crazy good. Circus is one of their Japanese language releases, and it's a great video, great song, try and tell where they used the elephant calls on the track (two different pitches of elephants, no less).
Thanks for your stray kids reaction!! You should listen to their most recent title track 'lalalala' - my fave song!! Gods menu, thunderous, maniac and back door are all must watches as well! Can't wait for more stray kids reactions! :)
100% more Stray Kids. In my opinion they are The Group of this Kpop umbrella and of artists at this time. They're just finally starting to get the bigger recognition they've deserved from day 1!
As a STAY and an Atiny, you need to watch the live performances in Kingdom. They put on some of these best performances in the show. Wonderland symphony 9 version is just magic and I'll be your man. I cried.
2:36 This is what I love about Stray Kids! Sure, other kpop groups have experimental songs and switch up their styles, but Stray Kids has found their own unique style of music that surprises me every time. And the fact that they pretty much write and produce all their songs just adds something extra! ❤ I also recommend 'Maniac' and 'Thunderous' by Stray Kids
This music video was trending for a while then it first came out because of..well, you saw it 😅. And I totally agree with the last sentiment: "what do I do with myself now?!", they always leave me ready to dance, move, RIOT, lol. So much energy!!
Definitely checkout more stray kids they are so unique when it comes to the music some other songs you can look into are leave, item, the tortoise and the hare. Looking forward to your reacting to more stray kids
A fellow metalhead in their 30's that fallen into the same rabbithole as me! honestly, Stray kids and G-idle is pretty much all I really stuck it to they got some voices that hits right for me!
Stray Kids are one of the most unique and talented groups out there imo, they're insane! Definitely should check out Thunderous and Maniac, and i fully recommend their older songs like Victory Song and Gods Menu as well! Thanks for checking them out!!
They debuted in 2018 They are ages 23 - 26 Fandom name is Stay #2 Best Selling Artist in U.S 2023 #3 Globally Best Selling Artist 2023 They are unique for several reasons... First, the leader Bang Chan was allowed by JYP to hand pick all of the members himself. They were not placed together in a traditional way, by the company. Second all of them are all arounders. They can all sing, rap, dance, produce and write. Third, they have written and produced about 99% of their music. Numbers of songs each member has copyrighted according to Korean Music Association (KOMCA) so far... Bang Chan 181 (#3 in KPop) Changbin 152 (#11) Han 148 (#12) Hyunjin 25 Felix 22 I.N 21 Seungmin 20 Lee Know 17 While they can all do everything they do have 3 different subunits... 3Racha... Bang Chan, Chang Bin and Han which are the main producers. They are always credited as 3Racha. 3Racha Achievements - Four Time Billboard 200 #1 Producers - Hot 100 Hitmakers - 3rd, 11th, 12th Most Credited Idols on KOMCA - Produced Albums Sold Over 20 Million Copies - Japan Hot 100 Hitmakers - 100+ Weeks on Hot 100 Lyricists - 100+ Weeks On Hot 100 Composers - 2023 Asia Artist Awards Best Creator - Makers of Time Magazines 2020 #8 Best Song (their song Backdoor) Danceracha... Lee Know (in charge of leading dance practices), Felix and Hyunjin. They also contribute to the choreography. Vocalracha... Seungmin and I.N While the songs are hype they always have significant meaning to them. Their lyricism is always insane. Since they are so experimental their sound has its own genre and they have a very diverse discography. Example... Gods Menu, Back Door and Case 143 all completely different sounds.
TYSM!! More Stray kids please they are the best to me!! And you are right one thing about them is the diversity in style and voices but they as unit sound perfect!! All thanks to the producers Wich are 3 of the members actually they are amazing I love them and respect them so much!! TYSM again and hoping for more stray kids in the future ✨🥰✨
I am looking forward to your Stray Kids journey. I am terrible at recommendations because I personally feel like you can't go wrong. what are you feeling right now ... they probably have a song to fit
I really appreciate that this was short, not pausing every 3 seconds, and to the point! A lot of reactions videos I see I get frustrated with quite quickly because of all the pausing and rambling but this was great. Excited to see more stray kids reactions!
Welcome to Stray Kids! They honestly have their own sound and love to play with sounds and genres of music and this song is a perfect example of that. Three members leader Bang Chan and the two main rappers Changbin and Han make up the producing team for the group. While all members occasionally help to write and produce their music 99.99% of it is done by these three who produce under the name 3racha. All 8 members are incredibly talented and versatile. I love that you picked up on Felix's low voice when this is a lessee example of what we hear more often. As a metal head myself I highly recommend God's Menu, Venom, Maniac, Topline and LA LA LA LA to start. I can't wait to see what you think so I subscribed! Enjoy! Also Chan and Felix are Aussie 😊
Stray Kids are the best thing to happen to K-pop. 🔥 If you’re a metalhead I think you’ll enjoy their discography. So much of it goes hard. Have fun on the journey!

The answer is watch all the rest of their stuff....over and over and over
•God's Menu, Back Door, Thunderous, Easy, Maniac, Venom, LaLaLaLa, Megaverse, Miroh, District 9, Hellevator, Levanter, Grr, (I recommend you also watch Dance Practice), Side Effect (video performance). Domino (unveil track and dance practice), on their Japanese channel All In, Scars, Circus, The Sound. They wrote the opening and ending of the Anime Tower of God: "Top" and "Slump" (there are 3 versions, Japanese, Korean and English). They participated 6 times in The First Take where you sing in one take (you can find everything on UA-cam).
CHARMER LIVE
Those are all my favorites
Agree with all recommendations!!❤
Just even the relay dances show you the real chaos that is stray kids
"GOD'S MENU" IS DEFO ONE YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO. Stray Kids are not your usual kpop bands, they are so amazing! Thanks for doing this
So all.other bands like ateez, seventeen etc are bad? 😂 Skz fans are turning into army, sad 🤡
@@ekaterinanyx4598where in this comment did they say other kpop groups are bad?
Welcome to the rabbit hole. I used to be a metalhead too for many, many years, and now I'm obsessed with Stray Kids... they are something else, ne of a kind... I'm also 40+ years old, but in our fandom, there is an age range from 5 to 80 years of age ..
I highly recommend megaverse.... I'm totally obsessed of this song
I feel you!
Same! Never been a boys band or kpop kinda girl. But at 40+ too, SKZ came to my life and are here to stay
I say it all the time.. it’s funny how so many of us metal heads gravitate towards Stray kids ❤️
So glad to see more older Stray Kids fans! I'm in my 30's and have been a fan of niche Japanese Symphonic metal bands since I was a young teen but Stray Kids really roped me in. I only listened to Kpop sparsely here and there because I like Japanese anime and music so UA-cam would suggest one BTS or Exo song to me once in a while (and older bands back in the day) but that's about it. Stray Kids really are something different. I listened to one song and got hooked.
@cheezarose I can totally agree. I used to listen to metal back in the days but SKZ pulled me in with grrrr since day one. There is not one bad song in the whole discography
I recommend checking out:
Lalalala (latest title track)
Gods Menu
Megaverse (bside from latest comeback)
Thunderous
Maniac
They are a 8 member group aged 23-26, completely self produced and write all of their songs (specifically 3racha which consists of 2 of the main rappers and the leader). Leader and deep voice guy are australian. The leader chose all of the members himself, which is very rare in kpop. Their music videos are always insane, with high budgets lead by a great director (many pros call their mvs the best in kpop)
I cracked up so hard when you said “what do I do with myself now?” I feel the same man. Same boat as you I think. 46, married with kids and I’ve been down this Kpop rabbit hole since 2020. It’s been an amazing discovery for me and my daughter. Now we go to all of these Kpop concerts now. Looking forward to your journey man.
Me too...my daughter found them, forced me to listen to them and my life changed. Her and I are so obsessed now. She's 17 and I am 43....age doesn't matter. These guys are just amazing and appeal to every age. ❤ I have over 130 of their songs on my Playlist. Only 6 songs that aren't Stray Kids.
I'm in my early 30s and a metalhead as well. I discovered Stray kids when they released Thunderous and fell down the rabbit hole. I introduced them to my 9 year old daughter and she loves them now too.
About Stray Kids:
3Racha - Stray Kids' main writing and production unit, consisting of Bang Chan (the leader of Stray Kids), Changbin and Han (two of their main rappers)
Bang Chan was an idol trainee at JYP for several years. While waiting to debut with a group, he formed a rap group called 3Racha with two other trainees, Changbin and Han. They wrote and produced their own music. JYP gave Bang Chan the highly unusual opportunity to help develop his own idol group (which they did through a reality show, but Bang Chan had WAYYYY more say in picking the members than pretty much any other idol trainee in the industry), and when Stray Kids was formed 3Racha was absorbed into that group.
3Racha still performs on occasion. Several of their songs / videos are posted on UA-cam. They write and produce (and often compose/arrange) the vast majority of the music for Stray Kids. But over the years the other members have also gotten involved in writing and production.
----------------------------------
Stray Kids debuted in 2018. They started with 9 members (in their early videos, you'll see 9 people performing) but Woojin left in Oct 2019. Stray Kids have been an 8-member group ever since.
----------------------------------
DanceRacha - their main dance unit (Hyunjin, Felix (the deep-voiced guy), and Lee Know). But all 8 members dance very well.
----------------------------------
VocalRacha - their main vocal unit (Seungmin and I.N). But again, all 8 members have great singing voices and they switch around on lead vocals, depending on the song.
----------------------------------
Main rappers - Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix - however unlike many K-pop groups, all 8 members can and have rapped, depending on the song.
----------------------------------
Languages:
Bang Chan (the leader of the group) and Felix (deep-voiced guy) are both Korean-Australian, so English is their first language. The other 6 members speak English with varying degrees of fluency.
All 8 members are fluent in both Korean and Japanese. The group can sing and rap in all three languages.
----------------------------------
Not all of their music is super hard all the time.
Stray Kids also write / sing beautiful ballads and have also written a few songs for K-drama, anime and video game soundtracks. They also collab with / produce for other idol groups and individual artists from Korea, Japan, China, Thailand and the U.S.
woahhh underrated comment. this is super helpful especially for baby stays, THANKSS
2:41 YES! finally someone who gets it. Stray Kids love to experiment and take risks without caring about what’s actually trendy at the moment. they make their music themselves and make it for their fans to have fun and enjoy. they are definitely special and one of a kind! that’s why they have such a huge fanbase, they connect with their fans with how genuine they are. they LOVE making music and performing and do it with pure passion.
So, overall S-class is both a special song to me, and not even breaking my top ten Stray Kids songs. 5-star was the first album they released after I considered myself a fan, but they have over 150 songs in their immense discography.
Some details - they are an 8 (formerly 9) member group under JYP entertainment. All the members were selected by their leader, Bangchan and participated on a survival show (called Stray Kids) to see who was ready to debut (spoiler alert- all 9 make it in the end).
What sets these guys apart is that not only were the members selected by Bangchan (this doesn’t happen in kpop), but they are almost entirely self-written and self produced since day 1. I think the only songs that none of the members wrote or composed were from OSTs. They don’t have specific roles as all the members can sing, dance and rap and even write the music - as all members have a range of copyright credits (though the gap from least to most is huge I think the lowest has 12 and the highest hit 183 song credits).
I think Maniac and Lalalala are good next videos. My journey started with Maniac and Freeze, then went to Thunderous, God’s Menu, Case 143, Back door and then Hellevator.
200
As a fellow metal lover, anything off their 5-STAR will definitely be up your vibe. Hall of Fame, ITEM, & Super Bowl are some of my faves. LALALALA, their latest track, also might be good for you!
Also want to recommend Battleground and The Sound (title track) from their Japanese album The Sound for metal lovers 😊
@@Sonnie0325 Battleground and The Sound are such good choices too!!
Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids, one of the few Kpop groups that produces 99% of their music. Amazing singers, rappers, dancers, lyricists, producers, with great stage presence and charismatic personalities. This is an extremely talented group with over 180 songs to their credit. All of their songs are great for different reasons, so you can pick anything and you won’t be disappointed. Their MVs have gotten better and better and they are now some of the best in the industry. They love to experiment with their music and you can always find some hidden gems in their production, even their B sides are great giving everything they have for each album. I recommend Megaverse next.
Gods Menu by stray kids is also one of there best
Lalalala was my first intro to Stray Kids and I've followed them ever since! I am a baby Stay 😁Love Stray Kids!
Welcome to the Stray Kids universe…Best group in the business… Self produced and write their songs … Thanks for reacting🫶🏼🤟🏼
I stan several kpop groups, but NO ONE, tops Stray Kids, they are definitely the best of the best
Yess
Frrrr
A little more info about Stray Kids:
They are a multi-award winning and record-setting (as far as pre-release / post-release album sales) group who perform in countries around the world in completely filled stadiums that hold upwards of 50K / 60K people, as well as performing incredible, bring-down-the-roof performances at various awards shows.
They have been featured in Rolling Stone magazine, Billboard magazine and Time magazine, among many, many others. One example: in 2020, Time Magazine said they had one of the top 10 songs of the entire year. They were the only K-pop group on the list.
They have won rookie / male group / album / dance performance / single song / global artist and producer awards at the MTV VMAs, the Billboard Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, the People's Choice Awards, the IHeartRadio Awards and many, many awards shows throughout Asia.
They received a special award from the Prime Minister of South Korea.
They consistently are among the top groups to be played on Spotify and other streaming music platforms.
Their songs have been on Billboard's Hot 100 and Global 200 charts, and four (4) of their albums have been no. 1 on Billboard's top 200 album chart.
.......just to give you an idea.
In other words, Stray Kids are quite talented and very popular the world over.
Skz🔥🔥💫 Their easy, double knot and megaverse 🔥🔥🔥
SKZ has so many cool songs that it's really hard to recommend just a few.
Among Stray Kids' songs, I'll tell you songs that have their own personality and uniqueness that you can say is really Stray Kids' song.
god's menu, Easy ,Back door , Thunderous, FREEZE, MANIAC, VENOM, CASE 143, GET LIT, MEGAVERSE .
Absolutely loved your reaction; so down to earth and appreciative of all aspects of the MV. Not too much pausing, no distractingly chaotic hype... just a chill, authentic reaction where you really focused on the video! LOVE IT. Off to see your other ones! And I agree, that bass line was SICK AF.
Stray kids out here collecting new kpop fans like pokemon is where it's at!
What do you do with yourself? Listen to more stray kids. That's what you do with yourself. Stray kids is known for the transitions in MV's and hitting a lot of different genres in 1 song. That's mostly their title songs though and some of their b-sides. They have a lot of different styles, slower paced or only hiphop or rocky songs aswell. They've released an insane amount of albums over the past 6 years.
Once you've done some of their music, you'll be happy to dive into their personalities, stray kids is ridiculously loud, ridiculously good friends and ridiculously funny.
Oh and I guess s-class is somewhere in my top 50 songs of them. I swear, their songs are so good.
Stray kids write, produce and compose all of their songs as well! They have a sub-unit called 3racha (consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) who are the producers!
Omg omg omg EVERYBODY STAY CALM! I used to love watching your reactions to Naruto and to see that you've found what has quickly become my obsession is amazing 😊 S-Class is such a difficult song to be your first introduction into stray kids because it switches up so much!
Stray Kids is very much an experimental group and you will find if you listen to lots more of their music that they hit so many genres because they love to change their style! If you're interested to know as well, they are a self made, self producing group comprising of three sub-units; 3Racha (producing), danceracha(dancing) and vocalracha(main vocalists) although that being said all 8 of them can fill any role needed they're just that good 🤣 the Leader, Bangchan (you commented on his beautiful voice in the second chorus) chose all the members himself and as part of 3Racha writes the lyrics, composes and produces the music along with Han and Changbin!! I highly recommend going through their total tracks first such as Gods menu, Maniac, LaLaLaLa but don't miss out on their b-sides because they're so so good! Megaverse, item, hall of fame, cheese, easy, side effects. There's so good songs! I'm really excited to see your journey through discovering stray kids if you chose to listen to more of them but they are so worth it ❤️
'Megaverse' is also such a bop! It's a b-side from their most recent album and the song and mv are insane
Welcome to Stray Kids, they actually are a genre on their own. From the beginning ( in 2017/18) they struggled to be understood by the Kpop music industry, they kept breaking molds musically. Their music blends in many music genre’s into a single song( an older Stay - the fandom name) once you have the initial songs under your belt try going back to their beginning.
Warning: 😉 their music is addictive ( in a wonderful way) the song are uplifting, even their more serious lyrics will show a strength and vigor.
All that said… all of Kpop has remarkable music and as Chani (aka BangChan- our fearless leader) says and instructs Stays to show respect to the talent and music of other groups! Gotta love a young man who is such a kind and devoted leader and he’s one hell of a beat writer !
you should definitely watch the making of this to learn about their personalities!
As a lover of hard rock and a newly minted stay that never understood the attraction of K-Pop I can testify that Stray Kids are AMAZING!!! Their music is revolutionary!
Stray Kids are it!!! This is one of my favorite videos and songs. Another good one is All In, the video and vibes are just fantastic. Miroh, Venom, and Hellevator are also fantastic! Love the reactions!
Battleground, THUNDEROUS, Venom, Hall of Fame, Superbowl, TOP, Miroh, MEGAVERSE, Circus, the ENTIRE ROCK-STAR ALBUM. SKZ does not miss. Welcome to StayVille, Stays welcome you!
I love S-Class, one of my favourites, mostly because of this insane hip hop switch after the first chorus. You just can't land wrong with Stray Kids, they have amazing and eclectic discography, the transitions (musical and visual) are their signature style. I recommend Megaverse. It hits really hard.
I'm not a stay, but the guy dancing with the headphones on made me giggle. I loved his voice, too.
I added that I'm not a Stay simply because I didn't know his name. I have nothing against them 😊
Skz songs are all different but their title tracks usually keep to the switch up formula. They dress to impress but their best work is usually in the b-sides. I like s-class. Lalalala is good, Thunderous is one of their best titles. Miroh is awesome but my favs are: Easy, Megaverse, Double Knot, TOP, Vicory song, Lonely st, Venom... They have over 180 self produced songs so it doesn't get boring
You’re going to enjoy exploring stray kids music and their videos! You can’t go wrong with any song or MV. Their discography is so wide genre wide. In the newer vids i recommend megaverse and venom, going a bit older i recommend easy or double knot ❤
I've been obsessed with stray kids since I found them a few months ago. Go down the rabbit hole, you won't regret it. Subbing for more! Lalalala, gods menu, thunderous, maniac, venom, top line...they have sooo many good songs. They are one of a kind❤
Thank you for Reacting to my boys Stray Kids I really enjoyed your genuine reaction you seemed very interested and engaged! They're a self-producing 8-member group who are known for their experimental hype beats, and transitions but have a wide variety of genres within their discography! Their fandom name is called STAY. I first discovered Stray Kids back in 2020 during the pandemic with God's Menu and I was HOOKED instantly. When you explore more of Kpop you will come to realize Stray Kids are different from the rest. I had fallen down the rabbit hole and fell in love with their entire discography, the members themselves, and their chaotic personalities. Highly recommend Gods Menu, Venom, Megaverse, Maniac, Freeze, Easy.
Gods menu Felix part! After hearing that song I was hooked. I do not listen to K-pop only stray kids.
OMG i clicked when I saw stray kids. I think they don't have an age range. Music is just Music. And them make it easy for all people to listen.
Music production is always SOOO CLEAN cuz they PRODUCE THEIR OWN
They've been working crazy hard for great bangers to be released. They're known for their switch ups AND transitions ;)
Stray Kids Song Rec:
LALALALA (rock)
TopLine (more of a rap song)
Cover Me (vocal soft song)
Maniac (electropop trap?? maybe)
MEGAVERSE (BANGERRRR)
The visuals of this music video is so amazing they always have good videos 🗣️🔥
The best way to describe Stray kid’s is amazingly energetic S-class is my second favorite 🤩🤩🤩
You picked a fever dream of a video for your entry to SKZ. HA! S Class is like 8 songs in one. Glad to see you went on to look at some of their other videos as well.
Because Stray Kids are not the usual Kpop group and since they write and produce their music, each album is a story of their journey. I recommend starting at the beginning and with each album you can hear the growth in their music. I also recommend watching their Survival Reality show called Stray Kids, The Kpop industry on the decline in the2010's and JYP decided to try an unconventional way of creating his Kpop group. The leader of Stray Kids Bang Chan (Chris) was a trainee for 7 years, so JYP, instructed him to select the members he wanted to debut with him. He stared with Changbin and Han, who he was already working with known in the Kpop Underground as 3Racha. Then came Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. There was a 9th member but us Stays don't talk about him. They have a lot of content for fans, and you will get to see the strong bond between them and realize that they are just as devoted to each other as they are making music and performing. They are arguably the Kings of the Kpop 4th generation.
Surly somebody has told you that Stray Kids write and produce their own music and make their own beats, but if by some chance you don’t know that yet…Now you do. If you want more Stray Kids try Megaverse, God’s Menu, Venom, and Topline. P.S. and Lalalala. Thank You.
Lalalala, Back Door and Freeze are also awesome.
They are amazing live, they participated in a competition called kingdom legendary war where six groups went head to head over ten weeks, all the performances were live Stray kids did Ddu du Ddu du a mix of a black pink song and their own gods menu it was dead pool themed and just amazing thank you for the reaction great energy
Yes! Thank you!! stray kids are THAT group.. so unique. I know for a fact that you're just gonna lose it if u react to their LALALALA. Music-wise and visual-wise
The song that got me into stray kids is Easy!! It's so good
MANIAC was the first one of their MVs that I saw, and I was similarly mind-blown.
Welcome to
the STRAY KIDS
HOT MEGAVERSE.🤯
From one metal fan to another, If you like this you would LOVE ATEEZ. Halazia, Bouncy, Crazy Form, Pirate King, The Real, Say My Name... basically anything by ATEEZ. Trust me on this. I'm not even an ATEEZ stan.
My first skz song was gods menu. Funnily enough I discovered them watching a metalhead reaction channel when I got caught in the electric callboy hypa hypa reabbit hole and they reacted to skz 😅 and now I’m a Stay (fandom name) can’t wait to see then live in London later this year.
Stray kids are known to mix genres in their songs the title songs/ singles go hard but they do have a bunch of other genres/slower vocal heavy songs too. They write and produce their music (especially 3 off the members known as 3Racha but all 8 have songwriting credits) also they’re involved in the arrangement a lot of the time too.
Let's goooo I love your reactions on your other Chanel. SO glad you're reacting to stray kids. They were my first kpop group
1:25 yes his voice is majestic and his name is Seungmin skz main vocalist. Deep voice is Felix
Welcome to Stray Kids rabbit hole journey with us STAYS. Stray Kids are on a different K-pop level. Stray Kids Transitions, Visuals, Lyrics, Vocals, Rapping Music, Beats and Dancing all on whole different level. All 8 members Rappers, Vocalists and Dancers. One need to watch Stray Kids Music Videos to the very end. Stray Kids give clues throughout or toward end of their music videos at times for STAYS.
'God's Menu' Clue left toward end of video for next video to watch after watching God's Menu.
'MEGAVERS' Clue left toward end of video.
'FREEZE' Clue left toward end of video.
Also Stray Kids left clues in their Short Film Movies for STAYS.
Their song Thunderous is what got me into stray kids music, you should def check taht out
You definitely gonna like them.
2:43 SKZ are the flagship risk takers of KPOP imo.... they love experimenting with their music, considering that they're the ones that produce all of their music. This is what makes their music more real and appealing to me. ❤
Btw, new subscriber here! Joining in to see your SKZ rabbit hole journey! 😅
Welcome to Stayville, Stray kids are very dynamic group varying from different genres, comprised by their producers 3racha aka 3 of the members of the group, my personal favoirte albums are NO easy, Ordinary, 5-star and Rockstar album. the songs i recommeded By SKZ are freeze, venom, maniac,gods menu, backdoor,thunderous, domino, easy, charmer, Lonely st, item, superbowl ( * superbowl has 2 versions, i recommded hearing the original which is in english then the japanese} Hall of fame, Topline, fnf, Collision, Megaverse, LA LA LA, comflex. Then down the road you could rreact to case 143, redlights, Some SKZ records/recording like "Up all night. Other songs likes social path, also "Hellavator { Their first song"}, miroh, side effects and more. Also Skz is divided in certain sub groups thus consisiting of the producers/rap, dance, vocal
Metal head huh
I recommended Guerilla by Ateez
Always a pleasure to see people enjoying SKZ, especially for the first time. They are almost too innovative for a lot of people and write for, and produce, themselves. Looking forward to your future reactions.
Maniac was my 1st song , S-Class was my 1st SKZ come back. All songs mentioned are all 🔥. After a little over a year of knowing about them and listening to every song they have produced, I have yet to find even 1 I don't love. Subbed for more of your reactions. Thank you
STRAY KIDS AMAZING GROUP FELIX AMAZING VOICE🎉🌟👑👼🙋
Dude getting into Stray Kids is WILD. I love S-Class because it feels like they purposefully had a million different styles of music to show off that they ARE “special”(as the line says) and showing how many styles they can do and how WELL THEY DO IT!!!
Also as someone with adhd…s-class hits every spot for me haha. Literally cannot get bored or distracted there’s so many sounds and beat changes it’s like an adhd DREAM!! My toddler also loves it lmfao
THIS reaction was everything I have been searching for pls moreeeee! I loved it! had me smiling the entire time
You have done both of my favorite boy groups. I love them because they have the rare creative freedom that you don’t see a lot in K-pop but thankfully I think that is slowly changing. Like BTS, the rap line does the majority of the writing, production, concept, etc. stray kids are unique in their sounds that they use to make their songs. Although I am not a big fan of girl groups, Black Pink and XG I’d say are my two favorites. XG are unique in that they are Japanese but since sing in Japanese, Korean and English, although now it is mainly all English for their main songs and MVs. They are CRAZY talented and I think you will really like them. Thanks for giving K-pop a chance and I love watching new people fall in love with their music and talent. 💜
Stray kids music are known as their own “stray kids genre”, they like to experiment with music and musics are their play ground. They are multi million self produced boy group and their fandom name is “STAY”, i am a proud STAY 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Stray Kids is my favorite kpop band. They are so good and so involved in their own music. They write all of their songs and produce the majority of it themselves.
Some of my favorite Stray Kids tracks are:
Thunderous, God's Menu, Back Door, Venom, Freeze, Case 143, Red Lights
And these are also my faves that I don't see get recommended as much:
Mixtape #4, Mixtape: Oh, Sorry I love You, Taste
The members also release solo tracks here and there. There my absolute favorite is Changbin's "Streetlight".
S class is one of the best ever but the rest are also the best forever 🎉🎉
You actually listened to Stray Kids before this, they did the OP and ED of Tower Of God, that you reacted to a few years ago.
youre probably the favourite kpop reactor ive seen, you read the lyrics but dont speak over the lines, you recognise the camera work and post editing, you have an appreciation for the choreography. love it dude
Felix comes on:
him: Thats a bit of a deeper voice
Me: Mate you aint seen anything yet
Lets goooo man Stray Kids never disappoints you'll love the other songs!
You should first react to the most popular ones so: Maniac, Thunderous, Megaverse, God's Menu, Red Lights and Backdoor.
Btw there's a live version of S Class with a band (the bass is filthy in this one🔥), since you're into metal there's a good chance you'll particularly enjoy it!
Strays Kids is member produced--members (mostly the three member production team, 3Racha) write and are deeply involved in production of almost all the non-cover work they release (there are a few solo works that were written by the soloist and entirely produced by outside producers, and some songs have outside co-writers. Because of the complexity of their work, they also bring in multiple collaborating producers to get exactly the sounds they want).
Favorite of the harder hitting songs are Venom, Easy, Topline (that's got some retro style rap and has a gorgeously grimy-basement brass bassline), Domino (no video but check out the dance practice), Freeze, and their debut title, District 9, God's Menu.
Some of their earliest releases are surprisingly great. Their very first release was Hellevator (half of them were 17 or under when they recorded the song and video but it's really good) and it stands up really well. Check out their "busking" performance of Yayaya from the survival show where the group was formed, it has hints of '90s grunge in it, among other things, and the performance video of Beware--Song of Grrr from that same era is really fun. Victory Song is also cool.
Moving into not as hard but super cool, in Back Door they play with some great R&B bass, and Thunderous slips some traditional Korean storytelling gestures and rhythms into modern rap, throws in car horns, alarms, traditional instruments and pretty much the kitchen sink, and the video is crazy good. Circus is one of their Japanese language releases, and it's a great video, great song, try and tell where they used the elephant calls on the track (two different pitches of elephants, no less).
Thanks for your stray kids reaction!! You should listen to their most recent title track 'lalalala' - my fave song!! Gods menu, thunderous, maniac and back door are all must watches as well! Can't wait for more stray kids reactions! :)
100% more Stray Kids. In my opinion they are The Group of this Kpop umbrella and of artists at this time. They're just finally starting to get the bigger recognition they've deserved from day 1!
their recent comeback album is “rock star”, and one of my MOST MOST fav b side track is “LEAVE” 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
As a STAY and an Atiny, you need to watch the live performances in Kingdom. They put on some of these best performances in the show. Wonderland symphony 9 version is just magic and I'll be your man. I cried.
Thanks for the reaction. My first song was God's menu. Now I'm STAY almost 2 years
2:36 This is what I love about Stray Kids! Sure, other kpop groups have experimental songs and switch up their styles, but Stray Kids has found their own unique style of music that surprises me every time. And the fact that they pretty much write and produce all their songs just adds something extra! ❤
I also recommend 'Maniac' and 'Thunderous' by Stray Kids
I’m a old school metal head and don’t like rap but every aspect of stray kids is awesome, especially Felix and his vocals
This music video was trending for a while then it first came out because of..well, you saw it 😅. And I totally agree with the last sentiment: "what do I do with myself now?!", they always leave me ready to dance, move, RIOT, lol. So much energy!!
Can’t wait to witness a new stay being born lol, as a metal head you’ll love them
You definitely NEED to react to more Skz's songs..They always have the most insane songs and music videos
Gods menu, Thunderous, Back Door, Megaverse, Maniac. All very good songs
I suggest listening to all their songs, they cover alot of genres they are very talented.
Definitely checkout more stray kids they are so unique when it comes to the music some other songs you can look into are leave, item, the tortoise and the hare. Looking forward to your reacting to more stray kids
Felix drags me into the fandom but every stray kids members have a special place in my heart 🩵
They produce their own songs and work on the transitions aswell they do everything
A fellow metalhead in their 30's that fallen into the same rabbithole as me! honestly, Stray kids and G-idle is pretty much all I really stuck it to they got some voices that hits right for me!
Stray Kids are one of the most unique and talented groups out there imo, they're insane! Definitely should check out Thunderous and Maniac, and i fully recommend their older songs like Victory Song and Gods Menu as well! Thanks for checking them out!!
They debuted in 2018
They are ages 23 - 26
Fandom name is Stay
#2 Best Selling Artist in U.S 2023
#3 Globally Best Selling Artist 2023
They are unique for several reasons...
First, the leader Bang Chan was allowed by JYP to hand pick all of the members himself. They were not placed together in a traditional way, by the company.
Second all of them are all arounders. They can all sing, rap, dance, produce and write.
Third, they have written and produced about 99% of their music.
Numbers of songs each member has copyrighted according to Korean Music Association (KOMCA) so far...
Bang Chan 181 (#3 in KPop)
Changbin 152 (#11)
Han 148 (#12)
Hyunjin 25
Felix 22
I.N 21
Seungmin 20
Lee Know 17
While they can all do everything they do have 3 different subunits...
3Racha... Bang Chan, Chang Bin and Han which are the main producers. They are always credited as 3Racha.
3Racha Achievements
- Four Time Billboard 200 #1 Producers
- Hot 100 Hitmakers
- 3rd, 11th, 12th Most Credited Idols on KOMCA
- Produced Albums Sold Over 20 Million Copies
- Japan Hot 100 Hitmakers
- 100+ Weeks on Hot 100 Lyricists
- 100+ Weeks On Hot 100 Composers

Danceracha... Lee Know (in charge of leading dance practices), Felix and Hyunjin. They also contribute to the choreography.
Vocalracha... Seungmin and I.N
While the songs are hype they always have significant meaning to them. Their lyricism is always insane.
Since they are so experimental their sound has its own genre and they have a very diverse discography.
Example... Gods Menu, Back Door and Case 143 all completely different sounds.
Stray Kids never disappoints ☺️ welcome to stayville 😁
Highly reccomend megaverse and LALALALA from stray kids' latest album. They both encapsulate their sound so well!
TYSM!! More Stray kids please they are the best to me!! And you are right one thing about them is the diversity in style and voices but they as unit sound perfect!! All thanks to the producers Wich are 3 of the members actually they are amazing I love them and respect them so much!! TYSM again and hoping for more stray kids in the future ✨🥰✨
You're going to love stray kids... Ateez as well are really rocky a lot of the time.
For the awesome switchups, you should check out Freeze, Venom, Miroh, and God's Menu!
I am looking forward to your Stray Kids journey. I am terrible at recommendations because I personally feel like you can't go wrong. what are you feeling right now ... they probably have a song to fit
I really appreciate that this was short, not pausing every 3 seconds, and to the point! A lot of reactions videos I see I get frustrated with quite quickly because of all the pausing and rambling but this was great. Excited to see more stray kids reactions!
Maniac was my first Stray Kids experience and Thunderous is my favorite
Welcome to Stray Kids! They honestly have their own sound and love to play with sounds and genres of music and this song is a perfect example of that. Three members leader Bang Chan and the two main rappers Changbin and Han make up the producing team for the group. While all members occasionally help to write and produce their music 99.99% of it is done by these three who produce under the name 3racha. All 8 members are incredibly talented and versatile. I love that you picked up on Felix's low voice when this is a lessee example of what we hear more often. As a metal head myself I highly recommend God's Menu, Venom, Maniac, Topline and LA LA LA LA to start. I can't wait to see what you think so I subscribed! Enjoy!
Also Chan and Felix are Aussie 😊
Stray Kids are the best thing to happen to K-pop. 🔥 If you’re a metalhead I think you’ll enjoy their discography. So much of it goes hard. Have fun on the journey!
Anything. They’ve never made a bad song!! Thunderous was my first because I, too, am a metal head and that song snagged me!
was not expecting you to react to kpop, but i'm really excited to see it!
