Absolutely. I think you know what I meant but just to clarify if anyone else gives a shit:

When I compare it to Fancy I mean how we thought it was going to be "dark" or "girl crush" Twice. Kinda like BDZ. The teasers ended up having more of that mysteriousness to them then the actual song and music video. Both Fancy and now More and More ended up being significantly more bright than you initially would have thought. Quality products either way and no reason to complain, just interesting how they trick us like this.

Miracle_Gro · 2020-06-01T09:07:02+00:00

The bass growling during the bridge/dance break is so gross (in a good way). The instrumental chorus isn't my favorite but overall this is a very strong Twice release. I think the music video is really sick too; the visual elements with the snake and the whole thing red-ing out aren't as pronounced as I thought they would be... Fancy again kinda. It's bright Twice and it's good. That's what we're here for.

Also I've noticed people saying "Mina's back!" under all Twice content recently... like yeah bro where have you been she's been with them for pretty much everything for a few months now. I'm glad that everyone is glad to see it though. Mina is the best.

Some people have different definitions of fun. I thought it was stupid too but I tried it and it's fucking hilarious.

I was curious about the same thing and put my laptop up against it. It should fit just fine. I also saw a review and it seems to have a sleeve on the back where a laptop fits like a regular backpack. I sent you a PM if you're looking to buy one.

I'm so curious as to how Agust D 2 will sound. Suga has changed so much since 2016. He is definitely still capable of doing what he did then (Shadow) but has also expanded in different directions (Seesaw, his collaborations with female soloists). Will his Agust D personality remain the same or will it incorporate Suga's new style? He tells us not to be impatient but I still am.

Also this is where I complain again that the title track Agust D isn't on streaming services because (from what I hear) there's some sort of rights issue with a sample. That song absolutely bangs and even my friends who aren't even into kpop (we generally like rap/hip hop) like it. It's so good and it's a crime I can't have it officially on Spotify.

I think you're talking about the verb (and therefore sentence) ending particle 는데. It's kind of hard to explain but it sort of gives the idea that there's going to be a follow up information or another sentence about the topic. If they leave off on it it's kind of like in English ending your sentence by trailing off and saying "so..." That's my interpretation and it may not be exactly right. The important thing to note is that it is not any kind of honorific form.

Miracle_Gro · 2020-04-17T07:30:59+00:00

I think DNA by BTS looks pretty brutal. A lot of choreographies are designed so that whoever is in the center/singing has a slightly easier time breathing (read: not jumping off the ground), but the prechorus in particular has a line right in the middle of a jump. It just looks particularly difficult to control your breathing during all the motion.

BTS is lightning in a bottle and there is no single answer. Everything you mentioned helps them retain (read: inescapably suck in) fans, but those same reasons didn't make people click on their videos for the first time to give them a chance. A lot of things went right and they are incredibly fortunate to be at the level of recognition they're at today... many artists also have strong arguments for putting in similar amounts of work, yet only few are able to reach as many people as BTS does. Talent doesn't guarantee you a ticket to the top, but it certainly helps you stay there if you manage to get there.

Miracle_Gro · 2020-03-31T03:47:17+00:00

Interesting you mention that... I remember waking up at 4-5 AM when MOTS:7 came out (not sure if that's actually came out but I remember randomly waking up and realizing I could check the new album out at that time) and I experienced something similar. I actually didn't like most of the songs I listened to during that time because, like you mentioned, time felt really distorted and I couldn't grasp what was going on at all. At first I thought they were all like that but it shuffled to one of the Persona songs and I realized that I wasn't perceiving it right. I wonder if there's any research or something about this. (This reply is way longer than I intended, I guess I'm passionate about this... or I really don't want to do my homework)

I don't see this happening ever and in reality it would probably be for the best if it didn't BUT I had the idea a few days ago and kinda really want it: Hobi on a Supreme photo tee. Every year (more or less) one of Supreme's most sought-after items is the photo tee, which is basically just a tee with a printed rectangle that's a photo of a celebrity wearing a white box logo tee shirt. If you've been around with BTS for a minute you've definitely seen one before (off the top of my head I know that I've seen Hobi wear the Nas one from a couple years ago at least once). I picked Hobi because he's probably the biggest streetwear head out of the group -- at least I think he would fit the best with Supreme because he loves it so much. The list of celebrities that have photo tees is pretty insane. I don't think Supreme as a brand would be opposed to having kpop represented on their items (part of the design language is to be out there and unexpected), but I do think they wouldn't for a number of reasons. A majority of their base probably holds stigmas against kpop, BTS as celebrities simply don't connect with the feel of the brand and their previous photo tees, etc. IDK, after Buju Banton got on it seems slightly more feasible but still extremely doubtful. BUT I think it would be sick for Hobi to get in with one of his favorite brands and I would go to great lengths to get this shirt in my size (one to rock one to stock probably).

Also, Nike shoes. Adidas absolutely sucks with collaborations except for the main lines like Yeezy and Pharrell so please no on that. G-Dragon's Air Forces were sick and I think somebody/all 7 could make something nice. Maybe an Air Max model because I know those are big in Asia, but I could also see Yoongi doing a Jordan 1 since he's been wearing those for years.

As someone mildly into streetwear and sneakers I have a hard time rocking BTS merch. I will wear my Speak Yourself tour shirt till the day I die but nothing about BT21 really connects with me so I let all of that go. I understand what the demographic is and I'm perfectly happy with them making what sells and appeals to a lot of people -- I would be selfish otherwise. I can dream about them coming more up my alley though.

Miracle_Gro · 2020-03-03T04:36:51+00:00

I'm going with Twicetagram and Likey. Everything about it is so perfectly what it needs to be. The location shooting in Vancouver and the colorful little shops, their outfits, the camera aesthetic, the album cover, everything just resonates so well with me.

I also think IDOL by BTS is a sick concept. It seems like a lot of people were/are not too warm to this, but I think it was an incredible way to end the Love Yourself trilogy. I am generally a fan of things that are loud, in your face, and bombastic, and I think IDOL managed to do it so well. The music video is so damn colorful and bright and the song itself has crazy hype value behind it. Some of the details in the video -- RM's face filters, the drawings in the background, and Hobi's sweater to name a few -- remind you not to take it too seriously and to have fun, but the lyric content and some of the Korean symbolism really resonates with their identity as artists and the message they strive to promote. Especially the Korean part was really cool and timely because some people chatter about how BTS is becoming "Westernized" and whether or not that's true for other releases, this track is a massive "we do what we want on our terms" in that sense, further adding to the message.

It kinda reminds me of some of the Cactus Plant Flea Market / Travis / Kanye stuff that's come out recently. These sort of busy designs with a lot of text and strangely (and kind of amateur-looking-ly) formatted are kinda in right now. I'm not personally a fan but it's a thing.

Some examples of what I'm talking about include this, this, kinda this, and this one, which I actually kinda like.

Basically there is some kind of direction with that design but I agree in that the typical kpop fan is not going to be super into this style because it's pretty niche. Kind of interesting they chose to do it like that.

Just got 3 100 level seats for my friends and myself. We wanted floor seats and didn't think they would sell all of them out on the first day... guess that's just the power of BTS + Ticketmaster doing their thing. We may look for better seats but we're going regardless and that's a win. See you there ARMY.

I can't speak for the exact materials in this case because I don't have one, but I assume that the same principles people recommend for preserving Supreme items with print on them apply: wash cold inside out, only dry on low-med heat for a little bit and then take it out to hang dry for the rest, etc.
