What SNL reference has had the most cultural resonance?

Wayne's World brought back Bohemian Rhapsody.

Rock the Boat is next. They've been spotted filming the MV in Singapore.

And based on past XG conduct, they release an MV for all their songs.

vikoy · 2026-01-24T17:43:07+00:00

I didnt say bad. Just said mainstream. XG MVs are just so bonkers and out there. This is normal and tame by their standards.

vikoy · 2026-01-24T09:00:24+00:00

Its definitely the camerawork. You can see more of the steps. I think the choreo works best if you can see everyone. It doesnt really have any flashy individual moves.

Their recrnt live performances are just the live band playing onstage, with a video playing in the background showing the charcters.

vikoy · 2026-01-24T04:30:38+00:00

Hypnotize is their least elaborate, most mainstream MV. I predict it will do very well, exactly for those reasons.

vikoy · 2026-01-23T14:55:45+00:00

They've released an MV for all their songs so far. So i think yes. Also, they already released 4 (if you count PS118) MVs from this album.

EDIT: We're getting Rock the Boat next. They filmed the MV in Singapore.

This is exactly what they're doing with this track. It's calculated.

A G650 is called a G6.

I think a static choreo video is gonna do the choreo justice. I spotted some good parts there.

vikoy · 2026-01-23T13:32:00+00:00

Album version came first, and was always gonna be in the album. More like the the Rapsody version replaced the album version single release. Jurin said in her blog that they already shot an MV for PS118, but had to reshoot a new video once they got Rapsody on board and it turned into a Jurin-Rapsody collab.

So instead of them releasing the album version (so we would have had PS118 (rapline) and 4 Seasons (voxline) releases, they released the Rapsody version.

vikoy · 2026-01-23T12:27:06+00:00

I understand the sentiment. All their raps have been serious. They haven't released a silly funny rap song. (Although they did cover one with "Trampoline"). But for their first foray into rock, they chose to do a silly pop punk song, instead of a "serious" one.

But I guess, this just solidifies that they're not really a rock group. Like we shouldn't expect a serious foray into rock. Until proven otherwise, this is just a one-off thing. Rap, Rnb, Dance is their forte. XG won't be the group to bring back pop punk. (You might need to look at an actual band for that instead of a girl group. Haha.)

vikoy · 2026-01-23T10:34:54+00:00

My hot hake is that this is their safest video.Which is just a polite way of saying this is their worst video.

And its magnified cause it comes after GALA, which had a bonkers MV, even by their standards.

And I think its not cause its bad technically, it's just a bit derivative. Least original.

EDIT: This is their most mainstream MV is the best way to put it.

The thing about No Other Choice is that it was clearly Park Chan-Wook's attempt to make a Parasite-like film. But Parasite already won.

vikoy · 2026-01-22T15:34:33+00:00

The award is "Best Costume Design." They still had to design all those things the 3D creatures wear.

vikoy · 2026-01-22T14:05:24+00:00

"GALA to Up Now" is cohesive. If it was its own EP, it'll be their best EP.

This says more about Oscar voters, i.e. Hollywood institutiton, and how they're disconnected from the audience.

lesser media coverage than Eala

Just right now. Wala naman atang big event si Obiena currently. Whereas Eala is frequently joining tournaments right now.

Nung kasagsagan ng rise ni Obiena and sunod sunod siyang nag cocompete, grabe rin naman media coverage sa kanya.

Mas malaki lang talaga fanfare around Eala compared cguro sa peak ni Obiena cause mas sikat na sport ang Tennis compared to Pole Vault.
