a lot of critics have actually said they don't know how to categorize stray kids' music because of their unique structures, switches, and genre combinations. at one point the korean media gave them their own genre name and titled them "the pioneers of the mala taste genre". they described mala taste (originating from the word "malatang", a popular chinese soup) as fluid but spicy music that will satisfy all the senses.

Stray Kids once said "we don't play by the rules".

This song is about the confusion that you feel when you fall in love. Falling in love is really chaotic and like a rollercoaster and the production matches exactly that, the slap of emotions that come with love and the hesitance (why do I keep getting attracted) and the beat changes like doubt, it’s like when you change your mind about that love from wanting to ignore it to hating it to accepting it and the MV also has that theme. Theres a part of skz that want to trap the love monsters and trap them like criminals (police officers) and another part that is falling in love and there’s a moment where they pull the plug but seungmin rewinds the MV so they go back to the love and to accepting it (I’ll hold you so I’m never letting go)

the fact that this song was singing about the the overwhelming feeling of being in love for the first time and was also giving the same vibe through the music itself is crazy!!

thank you. Yes stray kids don't follow the normal pattern of songs with genres, beats, sounds melody or placements. LOL they love to experiment. Han said in an interview this was the first song he didn't write the rap lines but he did focal on the melodies. This is their first love song and it is so them. LOL If you think this song has so much then you need to react to their newest b-side song Super Board which they just release today the m/v for it. It took me about 3 listens to it before I could wrap my head around it and love it. .

stray kids is not as much popular in korea as it is in other countries because they critisize them of making noisy music. there is one called side effects that is kinda old where they got so much hate from it haha. they did an album called noeasy which sounds like noisy with many clapback songs like the one you already heard thunderous. many people found stray kids with their song god's menu. they started getting more and more popular after the release of that song so i think you should check it out!

Not bad for a title track of this week's Billboard200 #1 Album.

It's their mission for this song to mix as many genres as possible into it, making it a song that no one ever heard from anywhere. And they've made it successfully.

I know it is not a music video, but their teaser for their NoEasy album is a great as their clap back, but in a hugely funny SK way, at critics that call their music noisy. ❤ Regaurdless, they are the most creative in their music production and music videos compared to any other Kpop artists in the industry.

I absolutely love the transition from the bossa nova in the first half of the second verse to the heavy hitting bass & rap in the second half--it honestly just sums up Stray Kids perfectly. It really is such a _Stray Kids_ thing to do, so much so that even though it caught me off guard when I first heard it, it sounds completely natural whenever I listen to it again.

Now you know why their critics call Stray Kids the makers of noise music! Did you hear the sirens in the last section?

That's stray kids for you, they even have their own genre. They make it their own and it somehow fits so well

They're creative geniuses.

You might enjoy checking out Taste off the new Maxident Stray Kids album. It doesn't have an MV but it's the first song largely written and produced by Hyunjin (another member) instead of 3racha. He's been studying production for a while and Chan (who makes the beats for 3racha) has been working with him. Now we're finally hearing some of his music. Hyunjin and Chan made Red Lights together but Taste was largely just Hyunjin (two other members did write as well but productuon wise it was mostly Hyunjin). It might be interesting to hear if there is a different style of sound or still some of the 3racha structures. It's a really great song and the first time Stray Kids have fully tried that kind of style too.

I'm just gonna have to say thisvsong is amazing for a title track. I love everything about is as the vocals and raps are in point as ever and Jisung is just completely wreckig me this comeback what I mean by this is he has jumped straight to being my ult wrecker (I'm not ready to have 3 ult biases in SKZ yet) and this man just does something to not only my ears when he raps but also to my eyes. I just love the way he raps as to me it's unique in a way. Also I gotta give my love to my two ult biases Felix and Hyunjin as they also did such an amazing job. The MV is everything I needed and I love the use of the colour pink aswell as it's one of my fav colours also I'm loving the story aswell and the lads did something they haven't done before and that's having a love song as the title track. Also 143 means I love you in Internet slang so this song is basically called case I love you.

The unpredictable, chaotic structure reflects the lyrics and overall theme of the song -- confusion, conflicting sides, disorder.

you said "i'm glad they're taking it back a bit and it's not in your face all the time" and it got me thinking. because you're right, i think it would be too much if they didn't take it down a notch every now and then. skz have gotten accused of making noisy music before (and to spite the haters, they released the album noeasy which is a wordplay on noisy) but i think the noisy thing would be kinda justified if they didn't have those calmer parts. some of their songs really are loud and sort of chaotic with beats that are cool but also incredibly "much". the calm parts is what give those songs their flavour and what makes them stand out. hm, i liked that sentence. also, congrats on getting into them, welcome to the fandom

6:04 PERFECT PAUSE! 🤣🤣

Stray Kids just released a new video today - Super Board - you will love it.

Straykids every where all around the world ❤️❤️❤️

Please react to one of their unit songs Taste. I love how you dissect the production of the music. Just so you know, they are self produced and writes their own songs too. Love the reaction. New subscriber here.

thank you for checking them out!! I loved your reaction! if you let me, i'd like to recommend some songs that I think you should react: heyday (it's a 3racha song, they produced with another producer for a dancing contest) venom give me your tmi (from their new album and sadly don't have a mv -yet, hopefully) freeze silent cry side effects miroh annnddddd I have to stop myself right here and right now or I'll be recommending their whole discography hahahaha (sorry their songs are just EPIC) (btw I'm sorry im still in the process of learning English

Kpop is special because it gets better the more you listen to it. Listen to it again 😌💜

Chaotic is the definition of straykids

I love Stray Kids. Every time they do even better. I know when this album first came out, some of their diehard fans were confused by such an extreme change up. But the more attention we paid to it, the more we absolutely loved it. It's crazy, they have a way of making songs that you love MORE as you listen to them. Not less... I think this comes from the guys doing everything themselves. In others words they know how far to go with the production. Just like what BangChan said, about the song "Venom" and how their songs are most definitely quite "sticky" since you are unable to forget them. How it wraps itself around your mind, and then you are just kinda... Glued to it! Heck, you find yourself glued to them, period! So basically, if it sounds good to them considering it's the 10,000 time they have has to listen to it while in the creation process. Not to mention their desire to STILL not HATE it after the sheer number of times during promotions, award show stages, and concerts in which they will have to perform it. Then chances are, we will be much the same. After all, we are fans for a reason... We truly do love listening to it as much as they loved making and performing it. Stray Kids, and their producing subunit 3RACHA, are truly amazing. 🖤

Thank you for the reaction video it’s a whole different and interesting perspective to the music aspect itself!🤩❤️

It’s so fun to watch the kind of reaction you have for our boys. Clearly one of the best so far. Will be waiting for more SKZ videos from you..

7:07 totally just stopped the vid to check my phone 😂 This reaction was so amazing from the interviews I heard them talking about how unique the production behind the song is but seeing you talk about it in more detail and making me understand the song better was so amazing thanks for the great reaction !! + I really appreciate the aesthetic of this vid like the lighting and camera !! Hope to see you react to more stray kids in the future I really recommend venom and taste by hyunjin Felix and lee know Sorry for the bad English it’s not my first language so I hope I made sense 😭🤍

thank you for taking the time to react to case 143!! a little request but i hope you react to taste by stray kids as well, it's such a good song 🤍
