So the end of We Are Young, Siyeon does the “I know your mind” line, then the first “because we are young” is Yoohyeon, second and third are Dami, and then “tomorrow will be bright, because we are young” is Sua, and the last “because we are young” is Gahyeon. Shatter is my favorite too! It’s such a plot twist and SUCH a killer live. I love the whole album and how they leaned into a kind of grungy EDM punk rock vibe. They killed it and showed the world that they can put their unique spin on anything. OOTD is very much tongue in cheek satire about how superficial the industry can be and how what people idolize about their looks and lifestyle is all heavily edited and far from the truth, but I love that they managed to strike a perfect balance between sending that message with the MV and making a genuinely awesome, confidence-boosting song!
I think Shatter destroyed me. That song is epic in every sense. It took me on a trippy ride and allowed me to see things through music 🤣 its constantly on repeat. I love that it's about Medusa
27:37 agree with this! yeah I listen that some girl group trying to be this "distorted sound" with their "girl-swag-power" kinda theme, not bad, but DC always have its own signature, and they are not "try-hard" to be heavy and powerful, cz they are already heaving that talent to be that heavy and powerful in terms of singing and performing! love this album!!
Love this reaction, thank you for supporting dreamcatcher. I always love a more technical commentary on kpop songs, especially for my ults lol. Keep it coming, also I love your other content as well
At first glance you could think OOTD is about them being proud and happy with themselves, about confidence. I don't think that is it though. I have no idea if my theory is correct, but the fact that the album is called VersuS VillainS makes me think it is not this simple. So I believe this song is meant as a criticism of narcissism, vanity, materialism and also (maybe) the fast fashion industry. "OOTD" stands for "Outfit of the Day" after all, maybe useless instagram influencers posting videos of their outfit of the day, which also promotes fast fashion. The fact that fashion is moving ever faster is the most destructive industry to the planet apart from the fossil fuel industry. The Aral lake has all but disappeared because of the cotton industry for example. It would fit to the Villain image, and you can see in the MV that they are acting. It is shown in the scene where Yoohyeon and Handong are fighting, but then the camera is off and Handong helps Yoohyeon up. The main reason why I don't think it is about confidence or their own success is the line "Driving on the highway, drunken everyday, do you feel like a monster?" and the album title. That just doesn't fit. And there was the ymenehcra account posting about touching a crown is dangerous and other cryptic messages before the comeback. It could also be a big and well-hidden F*U to the Kpop industry, like the Nightmare arc probably was. The narcissism and materialism is definitely criticized here, and Dreamcatcher have been criticized a lot themselves because of their rock/metal concept, while other groups have been celebrated for using a guitar riff once in a song. And Handong standing in front of the camera with bruises all over her legs seems to be a comment on the merciless industry as well. The music is highly interesting as well. There still is rock there, but dialed back. The song structure is not what you'd expect at all, for me it is punk rock meets K-Pop. Not their usual spiel, but a very good progression. It takes a couple of listens to really appreciate it.
Siyeon has very few lines in We Are Young. Gahyeon opens the song and the last line is her sweet voice. Dami and Sua lead up to Gahyeon's final 'Because we are young'. Siyeon gets the lines before Dami, 'I know your mind, yeah, because we are young.' This is actually my favorite song on the album, even if it is retro Eurobeat, because it shows the beauty of each member's voice. Ollounder has top billing on every song. The other composers are from outside the company. They bring one or more of them in occasionally to assist with albums. Korean Kpop composers are a small tight knit group and they all know each other. Ollounder's long time partner, LEEZ, left the company just before Bon Voyage so Ollounder needed more help than usual for this album.
Korean composers are the best in the world now. Western music became so stale and repetitive after it peaked in the 90s. If it wasn't for Kpop I wouldn't be listening to pop music at all. Koreans are not bound by the rules of Western music genres. They just take what they like from various mostly American genres and mix it together seamlessly. The strong melodic base Kpop is known for is still very prominent.
@@user-ej9bt6vb9h nope. it’s siyeon, dami x2, sua, gahyeon. the end of siyeon’s line does sound a bit like yoohyeon but it’s not, as for dami’s lines i have no idea where you got handong from.
OOTD..Rising..Shatter..We are young. Just Masterpiece ! Dreamcatcher is Dreamcatcher. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! 😊

This album is one of my favourite for sure.
Fav song: Rising
Fav highlight: that symphonic last chorus for Shatter
I recommend Shatter's stage performance too, it really completes the package!

you are such reliable musician/reactor for Dreamcatcher! haha your insight gives me a lot more appreciation to the song! great vid!!
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😄
18:27 it’s handong btw 🤟🏻
Ohhhhh
Shatter > OOTD/Rising > We are young for me, this album is pretty experimental but solid
With Shatter I imagine battling Medusa only to lose at the end and be turned to stone.
I can hear it haha 😊

I want you react Kiss of life
This group very unique
They have already caught my attention too, loved their last two albums 👀
I might react to their next songs that they end up releasing!

I'm pretty sure the final chorus of We are young is sang by Siyeon, then Dami, then SuA.
The last five "Because We Are Young" was Yoohyeon, Handong x2, SuA, Gahyeon
@@user-ej9bt6vb9h nope. it’s siyeon, dami x2, sua, gahyeon. the end of siyeon’s line does sound a bit like yoohyeon but it’s not, as for dami’s lines i have no idea where you got handong from.
@@aeongies let's wait until the live version come out and talk about it then 🙃
@@user-ej9bt6vb9h no need to wait, it’s pretty clear to me who’s singing each line.
