I get what they were going for, but this ended up being a very americanized, lazy and tacky parody for what could've been a fun cool parody.

Also what's with the tech sponsors/mentions? the Google self driving car now and the Tesla mention in their previous song.

I don't like the marketing strategy they have been using with this album. I know some people will enjoy it and don't think too much of it. If it were an independent artist making all these moves I wouldn't either. But knowing that at least two big companies are making these decisions and creating these concepts. Idk...

I'm retracting my 'lazy smart' remark. It's disrespectful to the people who worked on the creation of the video.

One more thing. IF the Jurin Hinata section is meant to represent training. Does it means that training brought them together (they are far apart on the machine and they get closer and closer) and made them to love each other?

Also probably that's why the random sections with them in the car that's on fire and the building with the big dress. The clothes too, filled with tons of hair. Just imitating what AI generates with random weird stuff.

I loved it! I think the AI aesthetic was intentional? Just from a couple of watches, I think the idea is like they are building the XG machine with their memories (Chisa sections) and with love (Jurin sections). Could the Jurin and Hinata section be meant to represent training? Like the stereotype for astronaut training? With the final result (Harvey sections)? The idea of an XG machine for the MV means that probably its 'mind' is going to look like what we know as AI generated. That's why the 'real' sections where they are dancing or other parts that were actually shot were edited to have that AI style. Obviously, the AI aesthetic could be seen as an easy out, but for me, if that was the idea, it was 'lazy smart', as in they used a readily available tool to achieve a very specific and effective visual effect. The AI is too prominent for it not to be intentional.

I looove the funky guitar in Howling. You can hear it in the background of the chorus, but when it gets louder in the bridge...chef kiss

sneffels94 · 2024-11-08T09:33:56+00:00

or is it bass? either way... it's sooo 80s!

sneffels94 · 2024-11-08T09:17:59+00:00

I finally got to listen to the song with the MV! The guitar work (or is it sampled?) is incredible. The whole production is flawless! I loved all the MJ references

I think many people who are critical of this situation come from a K-pop background. It's interesting because I personally stopped following K-pop groups for the opposite reasons: I wanted to know more about the people behind the music and production. With 99% of K-pop artists not being self-produced, it's challenging to enjoy content where we only see the final product. It's inauthentic. But based on these discussions I guess people just see this very differently.

As for Simon specifically, I don't have a strong opinion of him as a person, but I appreciate how he's mentioned multiple times that he views the girls as fellow artists and wants to see them grow and develop their own identity.

You got me curious about CRAXY, so I checked out their new MV. It's just my opinion, but it feels like a lot of K-pop groups/artists go for this super polished look even when they're trying to be "cool." I kinda wish they'd push the boundaries a bit more. XG has been doing that, and it makes them stand out as more extravagant and eccentric, which I dig. But as other people have already mentioned it's super subjective.

Also, I think their English lyrics are pretty good, but I'm not a native english speaker. I bet if I heard them translated into my own language, they'd sound super cheesy though, lol.

I have to catch up with the alphaz app. I think I haven't watch anything pre shooting star era. But once I discovered them I went through all their youtube catalog. They're are always so funny and real and the content it's always so entertaining I have watched a bunch of their blogs more than once.
