umu: okay - ah fuq -
umu: I have a question for all of you guys:
fiona: we are wondering if we should create a fandom name /hairflip/
umu: so we have three options right now:
umu: we have "Baethoven", spelled B-A-E thoven fiona: bae
umu: bae-thoven /lascivious wink/
umu: so we have "Symphony", so you would be called our dearest symphonies
umu: and we have music notes
umu: so please put in the comments, which of the three do you like henry: /snicker/
umu: and if you have another idea, put that down
umu: and if that idea gets a lot of likes, we'll look into it
umu: and so yeah - whooo!!!
umu: so today we are reacting to BTS yunyi: BTS!
leah: alright, i am taking this mask off shimon: you should just keep it on
leah: ah, it stuck. shimon: keep it on
umu: I am about to show you-
leah: oh you think my face is ugly, shimon?
shimon: yeah.
umu: we're about to start our BTS marathon
umu: BTS- athon, and we are starting off with the HYYH series
umu: which is made up of four music videos
jarod: BTS, I need you
jarod: watching in three,
kevin: two,one
leah: /video starting sfx/
davis: I still love this opening animation
davis: it's pretty cool
leah: aww the eye- *killed by loud audio*
henry: it's a flower
henry: he's so sad
jarod: keep rollin' those chords, baby
fiona: oh, I remember them
davis: when they lay out chords like that, it's less about function and more about color palette
kevin: man, ninth chords
kevin: /shivers/
kevin: hey, you can't do that to a piano /mimics synthesized crescendo/
jarod: I like it because it takes a paint brush of sound, just going:
jarod: /sound paint brush effect/
kevin: I think every chord has been a seventh chord
umu: what happened to the chord?
kevin: that's cool
henry: I don't know.. it was just like weird chromatic motion
henry: where I didn't expect it
henry: and then it was like weird - I don't know
henry: cash meousside how bow dat
leah: aw
lindsey: that is also why I started
leah: he's sad
kevin: oh! In the mood for love
leah: like the wind chimes - /wind chime sfx/
kevin: hua yang nian hua
yunyi: ok. thank you for translating
kevin: there's a film-
davis: this is way different from their nice like-
lindsey: yeah, this is totally different from the BTS stuff we've heard before too, I feel like
jarod: I like how there isn't really a drum beat, but yet you can feel it
henry: it's like, he has multiple personality disorder
jarod: a little high hat
-beatboxing-
fiona: I like that wOAP
peyton: it sounds like it's kind of muffled, but it's not like I'm gong to give you it all right now
henry: -gasp- don't do it!
hugo: I like their composition, just like their overall production
henry: you gon' die. oh-no
kevin: oh yunyi: ohh kevin: ohh.
yunyi: this is really hype music
fiona: it's hype, it's hype, it's building...
fiona: and drop
hugo: sorry, I'm done - I just had to dance
peyton: yeah, it's kind of got a dubstep feel in the back
henry: the renegades of forgotten love
fiona: do you hear in the background /demonstrates sound/
henry: ooh! nice falsetto
fiona: /still demonstrates/
yunyi: you know this totally looks like it should be a-
yunyi: more chill song, according to music video
yunyi: but it's so hype kevin: yeah, with the color palettes
davis: the music going on underneath right now - lindsey: but it's not really chords though
gwen: more fighting?
gwen: see that looks so much fun
davis: no, but it all fits together really nicely
lindsey: are they in fu**ing chipotle?
gwen: ...like SO much fun
henry: /whispers/ bromance
gwen: I wish I had friends
henry: /whispers/ bromance
yunyi: guy with the voice, guy with the rap
yunyi: ah, so good
hugo: oh. wait
henry: c'mon
kevin: man, so much attitude, just rapping
lindsey: i thought he had a cigarette in his mouth and he just shoved it down his throat
lindsey: but it was a lollipop
davis: that would be real
shimon: oh, bridges aren't a good sign
jarod: he means business
henry: "I hate this can"
jarod and peyton: ohh...
henry: oh, what just happened
leah: he's sad though
kevin: oh geez
shimon: really?! :O
hugo: i wasn't sure whether he was yawning or crying
gwen: I think he was screeching
gwen: oh, oh, oh. on-coming traffic, buddy
leah: I don't appreciate your sarcasm
yunyi: it was kind of cool, but also awful
yunyi: like him beating up is perfectly synced with the beat of the musc
davis: oh that was cool with the d'water - lindsey: d'water
davis: and the sound effects
kevin: canted frame
henry: wait, what?
kevin: or dutch angle
fiona: the flower was his heart that he set on fire earlier
henry: what?
kevin: ooh. yunyi: ooh. okay
kevin: uh-oh
gwen: car!
peyton: like you'd think - Oh!
henry: what?
yunyi: uhh??
henry: oh!
fiona: bSHS
davis: what?
fiona: hood
henry: I'm so thoroughly confused - what the?
fiona: I don't like milky bathtubs - that's gross
yunyi: this is really dark, but the music is so bright
gwen: now, is he an angel?
fiona: this is a really modern, synth-y sound
fiona: used in a lot of music nowadays
peyton: oh wow - Oh wow!
gwen: oh now he's-
davis: oh no
peyton: woah
peyton: alright, alright, I get it you need to-
davis: what? lindsey: oh my god!
davis: so much blood!
umu: that's his father
henry: what? mind blown
fiona: wait, why did he kill him
davis: I didn't even notice it, until you said it and then I immediately saw it
umu: /laughs maniacally/
henry: because he was abusive!
hugo: oh, f**k!
henry: is this just-
henry: complicated euphemisms for killing onself?
gwen: oh (x3)
gwen: oh, now the mattress is on fire
hugo: oh, and then he threw-
gwen: wait, his lollipop was a cigarette?
hugo: no, it's just a lollipop-
gwen: he dropped it and it was a cigarette
peyton: wow, this got a lot of layers
lindsey: yeah, I feel like there is honestly not that much
lindsey: interesting stuff going on like musically or melodically kind of?
davis: no, lindsey: but it works though
lindsey: cuz the back beat is so...like- it like draws you in so much
davis: there is a lot that can be said about making tasteful beats
henry: yes
gwen: that's the picture of the place they want to go
davis: and this is one of those tasteful beats lindsey: it's like three-two-one-one
peyton: /beatboxing noises/
henry: should I close it? umu: if you are done
gwen: now I think they all represent different possibly abused substances
hugo: I'm gonna stay silent for now
hugo: because if I try to talk, then I'll get interrupted
jarod: yeah, no, that was uhh
jarod: that was messed up
peyton: that just took a turn
jarod: it's like something like "I need you girl"
jarod: but I guess he needs a therapist?
jarod: because that dude has problems. like, stab the kid.
peyton: like he's mine!
umu: that was his brother and his sister that he was protecting
umu: he had an abusive, drinking father
umu: and he was killing his father to protect his sister
peyton: see, that didn't even cross my mind
umu: can you tell any story line from that?
umu: okay what do you think?
shimon: well, - debussy - uhm
leah: you need to haircut shimon: yeah, thank you.
jarod: brutal
jarod: earlier I said, "dude you're supposed to break the bottle"
jarod: and then he actually did
jarod: and then proceed to shank
umu: you shouldn't have said that, jarod
jarod: I feel like I just coached this guy on murder
shimon: well, I mean, there were a lot of -
shimon: -suicidal innuendoes
jarod: see, that is such a brutal way to kill somebody
jarod: because, it's not like a gun where you stand there and point,
jarod: and then you pull a trigger and then, "oh shoot".
jarod: but he stabbed the-
shimon: there were a lot of objects in a lot of places and a lot of things that correlate to that
peyton: yeah, you could feel the knife
jarod: like, he created his knife: he got a blunt bottle, broke it, and stabbed him with the shards
umu: there are seven members. except one of them didn't have suicidal scenes connected to him
umu: and so he is the oldest. his name is jin
umu: and he is the one with the flower petals
umu: did you see the guy with the flower petals?
umu: so there are six flower petals
umu: and he set six flower petals on fire and then,
umu: and they were projected on his heart, and that made people think like, all the boys are dead
umu: did they all commit suicide and he is the only one alive remembering them?
shimon: woaah umu: or are they not even real?
jarod: that's essentially worse than a knife killing somebody
peyton: yes, because it is less clean, you know?
jarod: yeah, it is still vicious with the intent
jarod: but dude, that guy. he really went for it
jarod: homerun
yunyi: i think the dude basically
yunyi: the guy who killed the other guy, umu: mmhm, tae, who killed his father
yunyi: killed his father? umu: yeah, that was his father
kevin: what? umu: he was abusing his sister
kevin: ohhh
kevin: he looks really young
jarod: guys, we aren't violent people, I promise you.
umu: three minutes you talked straight about the stabbing scene!
jarod: hey, it was really powerful okay. and we respect that - and poetic
peyton: yeah, and sometimes you just gatta let it out man,
yunyi: that changes things up kevin: I think it's about addiction
kevin: because the lollipop turned into a cigarette
yunyi: I feel like i need to watch this again
umu: well, do you have any theories based on that?
jarod: I'm good, I promise
jarod: so theories, yeah
lindsey: yeah, they are beating the fu**ing crap outta this dude. that's my whole theory
henry: I thought it was multiple personality disorder
henry: like some crazy sh*t like that, I don't know
umu: okay, that was your theory from this video
henry: that was my theory for like 90 seconds
yunyi: my original theory was that the guy who was after the girl,
yunyi: had a gay thing going on with the first guy
yunyi: but he had to kill that guy who was after the girl
yunyi: because he realized that he was a bad person
yunyi: so he had to kill him, but he was like, "oh no, I'm killing you"
yunyi: because you were an awful person, but I also have a gay thing for you
yunyi: I'm just trying to make it gay
davis: so my theory about what's going on:
davis: I think that none of this is really happening, it's all happening inside of his head
davis: because he feels so isolated, and he feels so alone
umu: which one?
davis: kookie right? lindsey: no
lindsey: yeah
davis: I think a part of it, well, like his part,
davis: but then, I was confused, was that a different person who was walking on the bridge?
umu: yeah, that was j-hope
davis: but there were two people walking on the bridge
umu: at the beginning it was tae, because he was by himself, he was lonely.
umu: and the second one was jae-ho because he took all those pills and he collapsed
kevin: this is the k-pop version of Requiem for a Dream
kevin: which is a movie about addiction
kevin: if you really want to get depressed, watch requiem for a dream
davis: I feel like all of these things are going to lead them to, like, one thing
davis: like together, like these paths, there are going to lead to something
davis: and I am not sure what it's gonna be
davis: I dont even have an educated guess
davis: but I think like,
davis: all of these scenarios are leading them to something
davis: and they don't realize they are going to the same place as those people too,
davis: and they are going to show up and be like, "what now"?
lindsey: and I kind of agree with that because all them are walking on their own and are so lonely
lindsey: and in the end, they will all find each other and realized there are people dealing with the same thing
umu: well you did see those scenes in there
lindsey: obviously all of those things are not happening at the same time, because they might be at two different places at once
davis: -flashbacks and flash forwards-
lindsey: either the scenes they are shown all together are after they meet up with each other or-
lindsey: or we are going to start seeing in the scenes where they are together
lindsey: they are going to start drifting apart, and drifting apart and it leads to this part where they are all alone
lindsey: but I don't know which order it's going to go in
kevin: it didn't feel "there" enough,
I was expecting more
kevin: just like the graphicness
umu: so you were expecting worse
umu: that was rated pg-19. yunyi: that was pretty bad (x2)
umu: made me depressed for a week
kevin: I also expected more from the music
kevin: musically it's,
kevin: the beginning is the best part yunyi: it's pretty standard
kevin: and it didn't feel connected to the rest of the song
fiona: it's not real instruments but it's super cool
fiona: and awesome still
fiona: this one is very poppy
henry: that's the thing
fiona: it's enjoyable, it's sounds like normal music I hear everyday
fiona: so it's not like "woah", it's like "ah" henry: exactly
henry: the music video was so intense, I was like "hm!"
henry: because I had no clue what was going on
shimon: I really like the rapping in that one
leah: it was very like *sings*
leah: and there was like a beat
leah: and it would do it again
leah: so you had the emotional part of it, but then the rough part of it
fiona: I liked all the, extra, electronic sounds
umu: the samples?
fiona: yeah, because I am really into the alternative music
fiona: and they use that, and I think it's cool
umu: we were wondering if we should start up a fandom name for - uhh, wait
umu: we were wondering if we should start up- if we should create
yunyi: can you imagine slominski analyzing reacting to kpop?
kevin: hmm! yunyi: hmmm.
yunyi: ah! rule of the octave
yunyi: glad to see it's still relevant today
yunyi: also for the record, none of them slept well this time
kevin: did he sleep well?
