Its a kiss off to their haters. The lyrics show that . They have a lot a rap/pop mixed together. Also, the switch between English and Korean very interesting how they do that.

[@vibangscorner5164]

BTS is a genre by itself. The variety of songs that they had and will have is out of the box.

[@ravenslullabye]

From a lifelong heavy metal fan, BTS sank their hooks in me about 3 years ago. Stay openminded and listen to some more of their music. The word "pop" does not define BTS. They are so much more than that. They cross all genres of music and talent is unmatched! I hope you continue to explore BTS's music. You won't be sorry!

[@nellasusanti6085]

Their songs are a journey, and it’s so fun discovering all their content. No one chooses to get into BTS, it just sorta happens naturally.

[@sariel8406]

I'm a metal lover and I'm not into Kpop but BTS is different. Hardcore ARMY now.

[@Hotshortie]

This is what I think too. BTS is different from the other groups. I have notice there are several new groups trying to copy BTS. Even trying to steal their come up story. The group I'm talking about is from a big agency that has gotten everything handed to them. Not BTS' story. BTS had to scrap and claw every step.

[@RoxyRocket001]

HAHAHA I'm a massive Rammstein and Iron Maiden fan and love your reactions. A few months ago I fell into the BTS rabbit hole and immediately became ARMY. Oh you have no idea what you got yourselves into. They are great.

[@VictoriaLovesMusic]

please turn on the cc button bts lyrics are the most important part about their music and why theyre so big. they write and produce their own music. theres 7 members 3 rapper 4 vocalists all 7 have their own solo music too. they been a group since 2013. their music touches on deep topics unlike most pop music. they talk about mental health, self love, social issues, etc they do have love songs but even those are a lot more creative than typical love songs in my humble opinion. bts is closer to rock bands in terms of audience, crowds at concerts, selling out albums, places they tour etc. they tour all over the wirld in sold out stadiums and armys their fans still heavily buy physical albums. you can probably find a lot of similarities between bts and rock bands than you would find between bts a pop artists. please react to this is bts introduction to bts by Xceleste and bts vs kpop by bbygangmag we will watch long reactions also dont stick to music videos please also check out bts songs without music videos use channels like af taehyung or dial6137 for great lyric videos. most english websites who have bts lyrics arent translating correctly if you prefer a website use doolsetbangtan theyre a trusted source as theyre korean American who translates bts lyrics into English.

[@pausuper]

My favorite thing about first time BTS reactors is how they’re always surprised to see that BTS isn’t what they thought it was :) Happened to me and millions of others. BTS is huge and loved for a reason, and you’re about to find out why 🤍 Welcome to the rabbit hole that is BTS! I hope you react to more, I promise you’re gonna love them :)

[@YACABE]

Yes, I love 1st time BTS reactor videos for that reason especially if they are reacting to almost anything before 2019. They're expecting Backstreet Boys and NSYNC but get this instead, lol. (No hate to backstreet boys and nsync, I'm also a fan.)

[@jademelon7272]

If you like BTS, and you like metal/rock vibe, you will probably enjoy their group songs "Fake Love" and "Dionysus". They also release solo and sub unit songs (with only one or several members). Along the genre you prefer, you might also like "Daechwita" (solo by BTS member Suga, who goes by Agust D on his solo stuff, "Shadow" (also by Suga), and "UGH" by the 3 BTS rappers.

[@marissa1341]

As someone who is a rock and metal person, when I checked out Fake Love and Dionysus when i first started to get into them, I definitely didn't think metal or rock vibes, though they have some of the foundation there. It was definitely not what grabbed me to BTS though. Actually disliked Dionysus at first until I saw a live. Best songs to recommend to a metal/rock fan is Lie or Black Swan. It has the classical bent most of us love and the drama and the deep lyrics. Actually most of all of Wings album, Tear Album and 7 album. Daechwita is also an excellent choice though. As is Agust D and Ugh. Oh and N.O., and Am I Wrong would be great too with some backstory, a rock fan loves a good f u to the establishment.

[@vnv84]

The extended version of Fake Love is more rock than the original version.

[@jademelon7272]

​@@marissa1341 Thanks for the perspective of a rock fan! I know when non rock/metal fans (like me, although I do enjoy from time to time) think of that genre we think guitar guitar, and more guitar. But it makes sense that fans of the music enjoy it for the drama and the depth and instrumentals.

[@MirJa3G33]

@@marissa1341 thank you so much for saying it! I'm also a metal fan and it's a little weird to me how they always recommend those songs that I might love but not for a first impression. I absolutely agree with you on this and your recommendations 🙌🏻.

[@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971]

BTS writes and produces their own songs and for other artists too. BTS has one of the best vocal lines, best rapline from kpop. Check out BTS hiphop songs like Joke, AgustD, UGH

[@airyfairy2396]

When you realize that MIC DROP was released almost 5 yrs ago. They've already reached at this level back then😊 Thank you for your open mind!! Music is just music. You can enjoy BTS. Why not? They have top-notch production value, versatile music and amazing live performance. My suggestions for your next are "On(Kinetic manifesto film)" and "Black Swan" with Eng CC!

[@ninafox5041]

The most beautiful thing a human can have is an open mind. Thank you for watching these young men and enjoying their music. Me - 1st concert was David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust in the 1970's. BTS knocked him out of the park. I may be old, but music is my everything. They really are a genre by themselves. I hope you explore more with subtitles. Best wishes from the UK.

[@brayonne1755]

Just to make sure we don't lose you, I'd suggest staying in their harder hype lane for now. If you're into rap at all check out Joke by RM. For the whole crew together you need ON (Kinetic). Otherwise, you might just like the baby-making music: Singularity by V. 💜

[@amokay746]

Taste, Absolutely.

[@trishasharma9658]

Instead of on, you should also try 2nd Grade bcz it has a very edgy feel to it

[@anneking4656]

Great reaction! You guys are right ~ this isn’t ordinary pop music. BTS is different ~ they bring something new to the table. They are their own genre. They have established themselves to be a force to be reckoned with, and they bring the attitude to demand your attention! So glad you liked Mic Drop! Some other BTS videos you need to see are Dope, Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears, ON, Butter, Dynamite, Idol, Black Swan, and Baepsae (the dance practice video). They sing and rap, and their choreography is off the charts. I hope you enjoy your BTS journey. They really are amazing…☺️

[@marcela.m2809]

Kpop isn't exactly a music genre, it's more like an industry where not only the music is important but also choreography, high production and performances, makeup and many other features. BTS started out as a hip hop group so you will see a lot of influence from that in their music, they are known for making music in various genres such as hip hop, pop, r&b, edm, etc. In the group there are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists

[@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971]

BTS vocalists have huge ranges. Jin and V has range from 2nd octave to high 6th octave. Jin and Jimin are the ones with most highnotes and also does rock vocals. JK is most stable vocalist.

[@ryanneoverman2498]

If you do more I bet you will see a whole lot of metal heads in your comment section. There is a weird pipeline connecting metal and kpop that I havent quite pinpointed yet, but its undeniable. BTS are pop, but they are also heavy hip hop, EDM, even classic rock sometimes. They cover so many genres. But more than anything they are sincere artists, which is what I think a lot of metal heads are concerned about when they hear the words "pop" and "kpop". They write their own lyrics and produce their own songs. They have in house producers too, but those guys have been with them since their debut in 2013 when their company was on the brink of bankruptcy. They sing about things that are bigger then love songs. They have songs made to take shits at their government. They have songs to take shots at people who looked down on them. They have songs for people who have given up their dreams and lost hope. They have songs about national tragedies and economic/social injustices. There is a lot of layers that they cover that a lot of people simply could not know with the way the west has promoted them. (Which is another whole can of worms.) I always get so stoked when I see people cut from the same cloth as me see these guys and dont immediately downplay them and give them an honest shot. So thanks for the reaction and I would be really happy to see you guys look into them more of your willing.

[@jenjin9492]

We are all here, Armys are so diverse, rock fans, old school hiphop/r and b fans, pop fans, classic music fans etc.. from young to old 💜

[@shivangiagrawal2665]

BTS do have many metalhead fans true.

[@marissa1341]

It's the lyrics (how deep they are), their performance (drama is a big thing in metal), sincerity and for their earlier stuff a big f u to the establishment.... this why metal or rock fans dig it. It's why I did. Then when you get to their personalities, they are just funny humble guys that you would just love to hang out with a drink or a meal. All this put together and you have essentially what most rock and metal fans love. Rock and metal fans will usually like anything with a classical bent. Lie, Black Swan is definitely up there.

[@B16pal]

I'm a 53 y.o. Texan who's only been an alternative rock fan my whole life, hated popular music. Over 2 years ago I somehow stumbled upon THIS VERY MUSIC VIDEO and that was it. SOLD. I devoured everything in the 300+ song BTS musical catalogue. They do everything (except country music, LOL): rap, hip-hop, pop, neo-R&B/soul, Latin-influence. It blew my mind how talented these seven dudes were. Who else is switching it up like this in music today? And can dance at a professional level at the same time?? No one. BTS deserves their fame, yet I hadn't even heard of them before. And you'll never meet seven of the most kind, funny, humble, and down-to-earth guys anywhere else in one place. I'm a superfan now (BTS fans like myself are called ARMY). Even if you're mostly into metal, like I too was into something completely different, I hope you give more of their music a look. For some different tastes, I recommend "Daechwita" (rap; a solo song by one of BTS' rappers who goes by the names Suga and AgustD); "Black Swan" (neo-R&B?); "ON: Kinetic Manifesto" (pop? Almost impossible to musically label) AND PLEASE turn on English captions! Their lyrics are very important for many of their songs)

[@jenjin9492]

Hey! Welcome to BTS. There's a lot of us rock fans that are BTS Armys, I know a lot of heavy metal fan Armys. Grew up in the 90's so grunge, alt rock etc plus old school hiphop was what I loved. I was surprised I would actually be a huge fan of these guys! They're all writers, composers, producers of a lot of their own songs not just singers.

[@anahisantamaria3478]

Actually they sing a lot of different style of music, included jazz, baladas, hip hop, rap, pop and others

[@Maffmanob]

I was one of the people who kept saying “idk what ppl see in them”… bruh, now i’ve been a fan for a year lmao. I just love them so much. Plus their personalities are amazing and hilarious, they are very humble and down to earth.

[@endang2870]

Hey guys, I enjoyed your reaction! I especially liked how your facial expressions change as you begin to listen to the song :D. Mic Drop is really a catchy one, hard hitting but not overwhelmingly so. Should you be open to exploring more of BTS' discography, you'll see just how diverse they are, they're definitely bigger than just (K)pop. Thanks for giving these 7 guys a chance!

[@Hotshortie]

Metal Head Here! I don't consider BTS as Pop/KPop, They have made it so hard to categorize them. BTS is not afraid to mix different styles, genres', instruments and beats. You said it. These boys/men make you feel good. Like you've had a good workout. They write & produce MOST of their own music. TURN ON THE CC. so you can see the lyrics. The Lyrics!!!! FRENCH KISS! They can sing, dance, rap and they can play instruments. Let me just say: they surprise us all the time. Their own music is FIRE. It's like having 7 Michael Jackson's all in one group. Just when you think someone is incredibly talented, another one will pop out and then you will think they are the most talented. It's like shiny things. Oh, look over here. Shiny! They all are shiny talented Artists. Enjoy, it's so much fun being a fan!!!!!

[@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971]

Hi!

[@-amel-9896]

BTS is HUGE, i'd argue they are currently the biggest artist in the world : (i mean they are the best selling artist in the world in 2020 and in 2021, first act to do that two years in a row) In mic drop they said "There are never grapes at our concerts" in Korea, the ticket purchase interface has purple dots in the places where the seats are not taken, and so people call these little purple dots "grapes". This basically means their concerts are always sold out. Keep in mind that this was in 2017, aka 5 years ago. They have grown EXPONENTIALLY since then, yesterday they put their 4 night stadium show in las vegas on pre-sale. 2 hours after, all of the tickets were sold out, and it hasn't even been put on sale for the general public yet, only people who had the fandom membership were aloud to buy and THEY SOLD IT ALL OUT. the entire 70k seats, 4 times. So around 280k in 2h. Most mainstream artists take months to sell out a 20k arena. Went from them selling out all their concerts in 2017 to them having so much demand that no one from the general public can even go to a bts concert anymore, no matter how big the stadium is. Never seen that ever happening, especially in an era where rare are the mainstream artists who are actual superstars. They started as a small underdog group from an indie company in 2013, then they first got attention in Korea around 2015, built a strong international fandom in 2017 and 2018/2019 they solidified their place as one of the most successful groups in history.

[@ParallaxHearts]

Millennial metalhead and now BTS fan. 10/10 would totally hang with you guys. Don't be fooled by the "pop" label, I REALLY regret ignoring them for years. One thing us metalheads/hardcore fans could work on is our musical elitism. Glad to see y'all breaking the stereotype 💜🥂 Without looking I can guess theres a hundred other metalheads in your comments as well, because somehow we all ended up at BTS.

Welcome!! They (BTS) are everywhere now...but they haven't been everywhere always. They worked hard and earned where they are. Check the dates when you watch stuff (above released November 2017) and as I see others have commented, turn on the lyrics. I will admit though sometimes I have to look up the meanings of the lyrics too, these guys go deep and are amazing artists. Enjoy. Check out "Dope", another good one. It is from early on....they look, because they are, very young in that music video. Their debut was in 2013: ages 15-20.

bts are definitely outside of kpop at this point. honestly they’ve been outside of kpop since they debuted in 2013. they literally started out as a hip-hop group not a kpop group but over time because they’re koreans in a group people automatically labeled them as kpop. bts doesn’t care honestly what people call them anymore they just enjoy making music and let that speak for itself and they make music in all types of genres now. they don’t even put themselves in one box anymore when it comes to the kind of music they make. i usually i don’t care for reaction videos or reaction channels at all but i’m really glad you guys had an open mind! please remember to always turn on the captions. seems a lot of reaction channels always forget that the translation to their lyrics are right there and they never get the full experience of what bts are trying to convey in their music and they just seem to react more to the music video and that’s it. their lyrics are the most important part of their music. i was into metal way before getting into bts and surprisingly bts has alot of metal head fans like myself. not trying to put any other group from korea down but bts are on another level. they’re really great artists.

Kpop as a genre is not exactly the typical western mainstream sound we hear on radio, Kpop idols follow "concepts" in their music so hey mix and mash every genre from rock, rap, classical music and make a mainstream song out of it. It's a heavily "experimental" genre i would say. Dreamcatcher for example is called a Kpop group but their music is more Rock sounding than anything. there's a lot of things you can discover in kpop

[@aether13x69]

Im a metal lover too but BTS is like no one else. They can't be put in a box. They do it all. Rap, hip hop, poo, they can melt your face off or bring love and hope. And they're 7 of the most humble, sweetest, close knitted, caring, people in the world. Everyone is a superstar on their own. They sing, dance, write, produce and they do it all better than everyone. They truly came from very meager beginnings as individuals and as a group in a tiny, unheard of company. They've even spoken at the United Nations. Throw all expectations from so called dirty words like pop or boy band out the window because they shatter all stereotypes while breaking records and language barriers. And all their videos have subtitles. :) I'm die hard ARMY!! Please more BTS!!

[@WhalienDNA]

First of all, you both are awesome and remind me of people I’m friends with IRL. 💜 I won’t repeat much from other comments but I just want to give my ARMY origin story in brief, as well as some info and recommendations: I’m turning 35 in 3 weeks and have been a lifelong anti-pop-bullshit music fan. I found BTS when a student showed me their music video for Fake Love with captions on that show the lyrics in English. I was blown away both sonically and lyrically. The lyrics are so poetic. The music is awesome. The video is like a short film. I thought surely someone at their label wrote those lyrics or they bought the song or something, but I was wrong. Their leader and main rapper RM wrote them (the one who burst out of the ambulance in this video). He’s credited for writing almost 200 songs already at only 27 years old. The 2 other rappers are not far behind him. And the rest of BTS are all talented like that, as well. Each of the 7 have solo songs and self produced mixtapes or singles that they release for free on Soundcloud. It’s 7 men so talented they can stand alone as soloists and not just as a group. Before BTS, I listened to basically no contemporary pop as I believed it all to be manufactured and devoid of much artistic merit or autonomy. That really hasn’t changed because BTS is not that. They are authentic. Also yes they are now huge, but their amazing production has been there since their inception when they were underdogs at a tiny new label. They are not a product of the industry. They are a DISRUPTOR of the industry. If the industry is cable, they are Netflix. They are changing the game and not playing by the rules. No payola, no bundles, no tricks. Just hard work, authenticity, artistry, etc. They openly protest nonsense in the industry in their music and when they speak. They began by making protest music about societal issues, despite not yet having any clout. They write songs applying Carl Jung’s psychological framework to their personal experience. They make songs inspired by literature. They are introspective, brave, humble activists both in their music and their lives. A few recommendations to see their variety because they have the most diverse discography I’ve ever seen: -Fake Love -On: Kinetic Manifesto Film (in the song, the marching band playing is the UCLA marching band; the other dancers in the video are The Lab from LA; the girl featured at the beginning choreographed their moves) -Singularity (a solo written by RM and performed by V) -Daechwita a solo from Yoongi’s second mixtape. In BTS he is known as Suga, and as a soloist he goes by Agust D. He composed the music, produced it, wrote the lyrics, plays the synth in the track and thought of the MV plot. All of these have great music videos with captions in English. I also highly recommend watching the track Dionysus performed live. There is no MV. These talented men sing LIVE while doing the most difficult and complex choreography you can find today. It’s nuts. I’ve seen them live and still can’t believe they really do that. I also recommend watching the live performance of Black Swan from The Tonight Show. There are captions available in English. Thank you again and welcome to the rabbit hole 💜

Of course I already watched this on Patreon but this makes me so happy you don't even realize LOL I'm so glad you guys enjoyed it & I knew I could just feel it if you got a taste of it you would like it and I'm so glad you do! BTS is definitely not like most K-pop groups because K-pop mainly just stands for Korean popular music which could be lots of different genres and BTS did start off as mainly hip-hop but they branched out to do stuff that was still hip-hop but a little bit more like standard pop. When you said this song has a lot of bite to it it's mainly because the song is aimed at their haters and they're just snapping back at them so it does sound a little bit aggressive ... you didn't mention if you looked up the lyrics or not so I wasn't sure if you knew the meaning behind it. I honestly only started listening to BTS back in September... I had never listened to K- pop before either just assuming | wouldn't like it and I've become completely hooked …..I haven't heard everything because there's a lots and lots of content out there but I can't wait to send you more! It's exciting © BTW Matt I also love Dua Lipa LOL and yes they are extremely like globally popular they had the New Year's show they performed on plus they were at the American music awards and won all 3 awards that they were nominated for. they're also up for a Grammy which they will also at the same time be performing 4 sold out shows in Las Vegas.

[@crystalsnow1138]

This is how Suga of BTS described kpop when asked if they considered kpop a genre. ‘Kpop includes not just the music, but the clothes, the makeup, the choreography…all these elements I think sort of amalgamate together in a visual and auditory content package, that I think sets it apart from other music or maybe other genres so again, as I said, rather than approach Kpop as it’s own genre I think approaching it as this integration of different content would be better.’ BTS have often said they don't want to limit their hearts and their music to the term kpop because they do it all. So while yes BTS is still considered kpop they are also beyond kpop. To truly appreciate BTS and their global success, you have to know where they came from. The group was formed between 2010 and 2012, but BTS officially debuted in 2013. The company they come from is called Bighit Entertainment and back then it was one of the smaller companies in South Korea that at one point was near bankruptcy. The kpop industry was pretty much dominated by 3 companies called the Big 3 (YG, SM, and JYP). So when BTS came along people didn't expect much and looked down on them. They practiced for 12-16 hours a day while still in school and all 7 members had to share a bedroom. BTS were far from an overnight success. Back in 2014 they did this reality show called American Hustle Life where they came to LA for a couple weeks. At the end of their stay they were going to put on a small concert and to promote it they stood on the street handing out flyers asking people to come to their free concert. Now almost 8 years later they sold out 4 shows at LA's SoFi Stadium (where the Super Bowl was held this year). Now BTS is the biggest group in the world. With 6 number 1 songs and 5 number 1 albums in the US, the best selling artist globally for 2 years in a row, the American Music Award's artist of they year, the only kpop artist to ever be nominated for the Grammy's (they have had 2 nominations) and the top 2 most viewed music videos in the first 24 hours on youtube (Dynamite had 101.1 million views and Butter had 108.2 million). Here is some info about the members Jin- age 29 vocalist Suga- will be 29 on March 9th rapper J-Hope- age 28 rapper RM- age 27 group leader and rapper Jimin- age 26 vocalist V- age 26 vocalist Jungkook- age 24 vocalist

BTS is their own genre! They experiment a lot with genres and sounds so there’s literally a song for everyone in their discography! They’re heavily involved in the writing and production of their songs, and each of the members also has solo music that they’ve created individually too. I’d definitely suggest turning on closed captions when you react to their music videos too, their lyricism is out of this world!

[@Eriko-yc6lz]

Omg I love this react! Please make a few more, if you can.

[@pipeporo7316]

bts originally is a hip-hop group. they debuted with hip-hop genre. as they evolved with years, they eventually varied their music discographies as well. just named it, they almost covered all genre. thats why army (bts fanbase) always emphasized that bts themselves is the genre. the infused their attitude, flows, voices to the genre and make their own sounds. thats really cool. no one can easily duplicate what bts has done.

[@sucomp]

And so it begins.... I felt this 3 yrs ago, It's been a wonderful surprise.

[@shiridegurechaff9101]

Not kpop but BTS is big now, and for a lot of reasons, they have so much content and charisma that you will always like a part of them no matter what your preferences are. Next back swan please 👉🏼👈🏼 To start seeing their rank

[@Rayna_90]

My favorite Bands growing up were Bands like Disturbed, Foo Fighters, Papa Roach, etc. I was also never the boy band kinda girl, if you know what I mean.. But here I am, 31 years old, who's been following these 7 great human beings for a few years now and I do not regret it for one second. BTS is VERY diverse.. they started off as a hip hop group, but evolved over the years.. as many have said, there are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists.. they haven't always been as huge as they are now.. they've actually had it really tough in Korea, because their company was pretty small, which almost went bankrupt.. I highly recommend you to get to know each of the members, their personality is what makes them this successful.. (along with their lyrics of course) great introducitons are: - The Seven Members of BTS by Ida S - The Most Beautiful Live Goes On (2021 Update) by The Asian Theorie - Who is BTS by xCeleste - *Draft* BTS Member Introduction by Taylor Nakamoto 💜🙂

[@ThatCurlyChick11]

Heeeeey! Thanks for giving my boys a chance and keep your mind open, i really enjoyed your reaction! K-pop more than a genre, its the South Korean pop industry, witch is kinda what you think it is. But BTS is beyond that, they do the music they want to produce. For non pop fans, this song is a good start, it shows their hip hop background. Maybe you will enjoy dionisyus, it has more of a rock vibe and if you see the live performance of the song even better! Army is here to help you with your journey if you guys are interested in it!

[@wyohayes6415]

Good reaction!!! BTS is the whole package so subtitles are a must they always have a message. Danger and Not Today are harder beats. Black Swan is one of the most beautiful mv.Another flexin song is Dope. Idol is a fun mv. BTS are their own genre. Hope you enjoy going down the rabbit hole of BTS. #BTSARMY

[@junemoon92]

Bts spans so many genres like my favorite song from them is a lo-fi jazzy type song and I always love seeing people realize just how awesome they are. Can't wait to see you guys dive more into bts, it's 10000000% worth it

I know the comments and suggestions can be overwhelming but this was fun, hope you’ll check out more of their stuff…they really are in a league of their own with a lot of range and musicality.

[@brianal1808]

You will probably enjoy more of their older content, their songs in English I love but they tamed it down for American audience. There are three rappers RM (Rap Monster), J Hope (Hobi), Suga (aka August D), and four vocalists Jin (Mr WWH), Jimin (Jiminah), V (Tae) and Jungkook (JK). Yes they all are amazing at what they do, they are nothing like American pop, there is not a central figure, they all partake and most of them have also done music by themselves. Their production has always been amazing, but yes of course money buys better things. They truly, truly love their fan base (ARMY) and have written songs for us. They are very involved in the writing and production of their music, not full of themselves like we are so used to seeing here in the states, their training is rigorous and I am sure their culture has a lot to do with this. All 7 of them admirable.

[@djlivvy46]

I just think BTS appeals to everyone because of the intensity of the energy they exude. That's why they can appeal to such a wide range of people across age, race and gender and why they can capture anyone regardless of their musical tastes.

[@ghostaetip3494]

yaay I really enjoyed this reaction and BTS is my favorite pop act! These guys really are pop stars (that doesn't mean they just release pop tho), they just announced their 4-day stadium show in LA and sold it out under 4 hours, thats like 200k tickets! The reason for their success has many layers, They have great choreography, great and versatile discography, heartfelt lyrics, they are very involved in writing and producing their music. They also grew in front of the cameras sharing a lot of content with the fans (literally their content is endless, we call it rabbit hole) so they cultivated a really loyal fandom! I don't know if their music is for you but I would be really glad to watch you listen more! You can check out BTS room live. And if not you know a bit more about them now!

[@JulietaDiBattista]

I'm amazed you reacted to BTS! I'm a metal head, i love metal since I was 10 years old... And I'm 41. Learning Korean i learned the existence of BTS and I became an army ... I love crystal lake and epica... And BTS.. crazy ha!? I wish you read the lyrics if you do another reaction be aide their work is more deep than you know. Love you guys!

[@Sasal99l]

BTS debuted as a hiphop group. Their first song was No more dream (2013). In 2017-2018 they get into more pop, but they never abandoned hiphop. In last album (BE, 2020) has a hiphop old school songs named Dis-ease (about pandemic) and in álbum before (Map of the soul, 2020 - karl jung psychoanalysis inspired) has a great hiphop/rap song named UGH (about hate).

Thank you for checking them out. They did redefine pop and kpop. BTS has so many different types of songs/genres that I believe anyone can find songs they enjoy. They do have some more traditional pop songs, their English songs are like that. But there is so much more to them than that. For a more rock vibe check out: War of hormone, danger, the rock remix of DNA, boy in love. Fake love and blood sweat and tears are great, esp if you care about production ! Oh shit and you should totally check out BTS and seo taiji: classroom idea, it's only a live, but that is metal AF. Thank you for having an open mind! 💜 Please check out more. Subbing to see 🙂

Thanks for checking out the boys. Please turn on the subtitles on their mvs, it’s available. Welcome!!! Next mv will be ON kinetic manifesto film.

[@shaylajable1949]

Thanks for this reaction. I really enjoyed it. :) BTS is a South Korean boy band consisting of three rappers and four vocalists. And all seven of them are excellent dancers. They do a wide variety of music, but basically they are rooted in hip-hop. All seven members are participating in making their songs by writing, composing, and producing them. To explain a little bit about the background of Mic Drop, BTS is from a small company that almost went bankrupt, so they have been very looked down and hated by Korean broadcasting stations and other K-pop fandom. So they have struggled from the beginning to prove themselves. It's a song for their haters. :) The direction of Mic Drop's lyrics began with the idea of J-Hope, the main dancer and dance leader of BTS. And 'Mic Drop' at the end of this music video is a performance created by BTS leader RM inspired by Barack Obama's speech. :) If you guys are interested in their live performance, just check this out. [BANGTAN BOMB] 2017 MAMA Mic Drop. (BTS focus) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ3SfqSBlN57nJo It's not an official MAMA video broadcast on TV, but a full-cam taken by Big Hit. I recommend this because the camera work on MAMA is so messed up. In this performance, Mic Drop was their 4th song, so the members were exhausted and held on with their mental strength only. And, there were even three dance breaks at this time. I can feel all of them Even if I die, I will die on stage. The energy is crazy! And BTS Mic Drop remix Jimmy Kimmel Live is great too. :) Oh, there is another song BTS worked on with Steve Aoki. The Truth Untold is a completely different song from Mic Drop. :) I also recommend We On. This song is a track in their debut album, and you can see how much emotion they put in it. For reference, most of the BTS members were teenagers at that time. It would have been hard to bear at such a young age. But like We On's lyrics, they did it. And If you're interested in BTS' other MVs, I recommend.... Blood sweat & tears FIRE On kinetic manifesto film Black Swan Save me→I'm fine Daechwita(Agust D 대취타, Suga's solo) All of their music videos provide English subtitles. :) Their lyrics are very deep and beautiful. Or, I think it would be good to follow a story line. DNA: Joy of fateful love → Fake Love: Realizing that love was a lie → IDOL, Epiphany, Answer Love Myself: To love other people completely, you should love yourself first. These are included in Love Yourself Trilogy. The lyrics of BTS' songs are based on their own experiences, and their albums are organic because they contain their growth narrative. It will also be fun to listen to their albums in order and analyze them. :) They make a wide variety of genres of music like Hip-hop, Ballad, R&B, pop, EDM, etc. I'm sure there're quite a few of their 300 songs that suit your taste. :) Maybe you can try this. [2021 FESTA] BTS (방탄소년단) BTS ROOM LIVE kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIPLm5ePqLOqd80 It's a medley performance where you can taste the diversity of their music in 10 minutes.They are Korean songs, but English subtitles are provided, so you don't need to worry. :) They don't dance in this performance, but you can see them having so much fun. :)

She is called the queen of goosebumps, a unique voice - contralto with polyphonic overtones. "Together with her tessitura, it identifies her potential voice type as dramatic contralto, the deepest, darkest, and most powerful contralto voice." (Wikipedia about Diana) Full vocal range - 4 octaves. The most famous hit of the king of rock 'n' roll in an unrivaled gorgeous, phenomenal performance by Diana Ankudinova ( 18 y.o.) Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley / DARK VERSION cover) Please react to Diana Ankudinova !

[@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971]

4 octaves is not full range. Dimash has 7 octave range being a male lol.

[@monolit73]

@@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971 There is a range that a singer can show outside of a song. Diana, according to her vocal teacher, showed 4 octaves in training, which is a very high figure for a contralto voice. Even 3 octaves for contralto is very good, because those who sing higher develop in pitch, and lower singing voices have overtone saturation, that is, more voluminous and clear low notes. Dimash had a range at the age of 18 no more than Diana. Above 5 octaves there are already whistle notes, they are little used when singing. There are champions in the Guinness Book of Records who can measure 9-10 octaves with instruments, but it makes no sense to whistle like a kettle or like a drill machine at a dentist, this sound only itches in the head. It is much more pleasant for me to listen to low and medium notes, it is no coincidence that overtone singing is called natural, this is something that is close to our ear, roasts calmness, enchants with natural beauty.

I think it’s Steve ‘A-oh-key’ I grew up with 70’s pop and rock, 80’s hairbands being my main genre I listened to, but also like pop rap and pop too. But Van Halen, Dokken, Ratt, Bon Jovi and Metallica were main groups I listened to. And play a game called SongPop, and knew my daughters liked BTS so thought I’d play a BTS playlist and see what they were listening to. And fell into the BTS rabbit hole, as a 54 year old rocker from way back. You see. They are awesome at what they do, and with so much you get to see them in real life, incredible people too.

[@borreguitoazul]

I'm glad they listened to BTS with an open mind. Mic Drop is a song they wrote dedicated to their haters, hopefully you can see it with subtitles or lyrics. The guys are very talented, it's the best rap line in the industry and one of the best vocal lines (for me the best); all 7 are musicians, they dance, write, compose, have participated in production, are professionals (a few days ago the youngest graduated from his bachelor's degree). They are very versatile so they cover many genres; by the way they debuted as a hip hop idol group. Army is the largest fandom in the world, but also the most diverse. We are part of people of various beliefs, ideologies, races, nationalities, languages, ages (from little ones of 1 or 2 years to great-grandparents), in addition to all musical tastes. By the way I have seen reactions from at least 10 or 15 metalheads who have liked the versatility of BTS.

[@user-qo4nf7yx3c]

BTS revealed that their song “Mic Drop” from their new album Love Yourself: Her was inspired by Barack Obama. RM explained that the song was inspired by Obama’s speech at the 2016 White House Correspondent’s Dinner. The action of dropping a mic after a speech or a statement soon became a symbol of one’s confidence and “swag”. RM expressed that their song “Mic Drop” aims to do exactly that.

[@tracydowd4013]

BTS debuted in 2013 as a Hip Hop Idol Group (under the K Pop umbrella), the BTS of 2013 is a lot different from the BTS of 2017, and the BTS of 2022. But at their core, they are Hip Hip and they are performance artists. They have an extensive discography of over 300 songs, of which they write and produce their own music (with in house producers), and their fanbase is over 90 million globally, and counting. The reason they have such a big fan base is not just their talent, it's also their message and the fact that they have stayed genuine and humble, through their rough times, and their success. They have touched the lives of millions of people around the world, and they are making positive change in the world. They are not your typical K Pop group or Boy Band Group (according to Western Standards). They have paved the way for K Pop in the Western Market by breaking down walls. They acknowledge the artists before them that have opened doors for them, like Psy and Seo Taiji, and they truly love their fan base (ARMY) and continue to connect with them through live streams and heartfelt messages, just like they did in their humble beginnings. They are a truly inspirational underdog story. I hope you continue on the BTS journey, and I will link a few of my favorite BTS Songs if you want to react to them. *MV's and Live Performances - Remember to turn on CC's* BTS ON: Kinetic Manifesto Film - kzbin.info/www/bejne/naiwkmmdpdR4b6s BTS Tomorrow - Live performance - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g53FaZahidyDsMk BTS Danger MV - kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTVZ5-OntGVmbM *Live Performances on Jimmy Fallon (turn on CC's)* BTS HOME on Jimmy Fallon - 2020 (turn on CC's) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKPGfKOPYpmEeKs BTS Black Swan on Jimmy Fallon - 2020 (turn on CC's) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWKQpHmkYs9oepI BTS *IDOL* on Jimmy Fallon - 2020 (turn on CC's) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4mpnJ2Dg72Zprs BTS Mikrokosmos on Jimmy Fallon - 2020 (turn on CC's) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYrTho2gra-CjMk BTS, Jimmy Fallon, and the Roots, sing DYNAMITE - 2020 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2bKXoOKmqmerbs BTS BUTTER on Jimmy Fallon - 2021 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp_TdGyPltSmf7s *BTS cover and remake of two Seo Taiji songs* Come Back Home Live in concert w/Eng. subs (remake-2018) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJW8qZqGfMudock Classroom Ideas Live festival w/Eng subs (cover-2016) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJbRg3p6e9JlnsU
