[@lolaloli9362]

This song had elevated aespa as South Korea's digital powerhouse. It's amazing that the song about 'Kwangya' and 'virtual reality world' end up topping the local music charts. Most of the knetz said that aespa bring back the joy and fun in KPOP just like back then when 1st and 2nd gen KPOP groups were still dominating. Well I mean KPOP songs back then were quite hype and hardcore.

[@midnightmirror4518]

Exactly. I was losing interest in Kpop for over 4 years but aespa lured me back again with their concept, lore, and music. This is what Kpop supposed to be like. Fun, entertaining, and experimental!

[@josephine1465]

It's not actually an original one. SM bought the rights of the song from A$ton Wyld. So basically, a composition from a foreign artist made them famous.

[@laraelf315]

@@josephine1465 even if they bought it from another composer/song owner they still added the color of kpop onto it and made it their own. There's nothing wrong from buying copyrights it's legal.

[@kalvin.]

This was definitely the biggest “growing on me” song of the year (although their latest comeback may take that title). Such a different kind of sound/song structure compared to others. I’m sure not everyone’s taste but as someone deeply in the genre this change can be welcome and refreshing sometimes

[@jeonshookkookie178]

[@mincriss1850]

What about SAVAGE

[@shelv7607]

Yess...this song was grows in me too. At first, the beat drop was the weirdest part of this song for me. But now, it become the addicting part for me. Also for savage. The 'nævis we love you' part was the weirdest for me, but now I'm addicted to it.

It was confusing at first, but that confusion made me curious/want to listen to it again. And again. And again. Somehow it became *more* fun each time, so idk, I really hope you guys get to interview Yoo Youngjin some time because I would love a glimpse behind the genius, some insight to his unique style, or what kind of magic crack he's putting in his songs lol That would be an interesting conversation to listen to, for sure

I've seen Yoo Young jin twice. The first time was when EXO received the award and Yoo young jin was present at that time. Then the second one was when I watched SuperM the beginning. When he and Lee Soo man had a meeting. Yoo young jin makes people curious.

[@ireneserrano4570]

Plus he is a great singer too!!! i'd love it if reacttothek could some day have access to him they would do an amazing interview!!

[@camille6423]

as someone who has probably has next level has her most played song of the year and also someone who LOVED it at first listen, i'm proud to see how much the comment section has evolved since then. seeing the musicians enjoy it and say some interesting points of what makes this be appealing to a lot of people, made me appreciate the song more in itself. honestly now, no matter what people say, its a *hit song* especially in korea, its been 5 months since it was released but still top 5 in the melon (biggest music server in korea) chart, and EVERYONE in korea from different ages is still dancing to it. more than anything else, i just love seeing the next level appreciation from everyone!

If they think next level is confusing and quirky and weird, they'd be floored by SAVAGE lol

[@crookedprojects]

i think savage is better tho, next level is wayyy more confusing. i have to get used to it that listening to savage doesn't sound weird anymore, in fact im starting to like this style of songs lol

[@tomiechandesu]

I must say NL is definitely the most confusing at first listen coz it’s like 2-3 songs are being mashed up so u have to listen to it several times to follow/catch up to the flow unlike Savage which is quite consistent esp in the pre chorus. Nevertheless I love these 2 songs soooo muuuch and i must say experimental music has been growing on me. I fell in love w Savage right away after the first listen coz the instrumental esp the heavy bass is my vibe

[@makeitright3810]

Next level is more confusing than savage. Savage has differences that can be confusing, but it makes much more sense to the song as a whole

[@superdol18]

@@crookedprojects yeah true i can see that..im like dinasour lvl kpop stans so im used to this kinda song..next level is very sm style since like dbsk era..anyone who just recently got into sm music should try rising sun by dbsk and i got a boy by snsd..savage is following the more recent trends started by wolf by exo and nct music

[@rujula6949]

maybe you mean the sudden switch ups from a rap to singing which is v sm like and less jarring than next level bc it follows the same tempo. ig savage has more layers to its production and more complicated than next level tho

Every group in SM has totally different type of music. Nobody overlaps anybody and it's amazing because it gives each group their own color. SMEnt is known for blowing things up with their type of music, it's always new to everyone's ears.

[@luciev4914]

Well there is a bit of overlap, don’t call me was a nct song at first and it feels like it, superhuman on the contrary was very shineelike, there is also the 4walls/view thingy etc… But I mostly agree. The originality and consistency of the soundscapes and the general quality of sm production really explains why I like it better than any other company ^^

[@Rosevieenla]

@@luciev4914 f(x) and SHINee were meant to overlap. However I agree Superhuman was very SHINee and stands out in NCTs discography

@@cWjkL8ysxOkrH66 "naevis calling ae" that's why they go out to kwangya, because ae got called by naevis

[@midnightmirror4518]

Yes. The song is structured according to the story they're trying to tell with aespa.

[@tan8802]

Ikr I never thought of that until now and now that I've realised it I took a trip from kwangya and came back

[@jyuuri]

This song honestly unexpectedly became my song of the year. Like it's SOO addictive and catchy and overwhelmingly good. When I first heard it, I also thought it was too repetitive, and then the sections kept changing, and then I had huge respect for what they were doing but was like "hmm interesting." But soon enough the song and the dance were living in my head rent free and I could not stoppp listening to it

[@velvety3459]

Despite the clear separation of the song's "sections", all of the sections themselves are so satisfying in isolation, which I think is the reason why this song works so well. The analysis from the reactors was spot-on! Once they get around to Savage, though, it will be pure chaos.

[@Lyf4rMusic]

But I do believe the transitions in Savage were much smoother and not as drastic as NL, isn't it ? At least from what I heard on the 1st listen :)

[@universalsubliminals1174]

savage was even smoother than Next Level though. like yeah they switched up the beat, but it fit with the key and tempo

[@Superion74]

When I first listened to Next Level, I wasn't very keen on it, but I kept listening to it and now it's one of my favorite songs. Judging from this song's popularity, I think others felt the same.

[@ELmayberry]

honestly, I love it this song on my first listen and it gave me a nostalgic feeling bc this is such a SM sound bc of the beat switch

[@ELmayberry]

@Iduna yeah, it's so smooth the way the transition played out

[@manikta]

sameee, for people who are used to listen to SM artists it was just like "oh, another crazy good switch" I loved every second of the song the moment I first heard it lmao

The original song is the famous "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" OST, but they arranged the song well in their colors. SM always finds songs that go well with their singers.

As someone who loved the song the first listen this was so interesting to watch cause when it first came out most people absolutely hated the composition of the song and how each parte isn't "related" at all, when that's exactly what I love about it, i get how it can throw people off but i always find myself attracted to those kind of unexpected songs that have abrupt beat changes, and in this song specifically it makes complete sense if you follow the storyline, at the end of the day it's still super catchy and it gets stuck in your mind so that's why a lot of people ended up growing to like the song lmao. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about savage cause even tho i needed a little more time than this song to digest it, i still think it's an amazing song and the whole mini album is setting aespa really up there
