Mikey Reacts to VIXX 'Scentist' MV & Dance Practice

We got another Vixx track today with 'Scentist'. The concept kings do it again here this video was dope. Can we talk about this basssssline thoooo? I loved it!! Seriously when it dropped it stuck out immediately, I loved the pop and roll on it.

Vixx choreography isnt always about synchronization. Their dances are like story telling and incorporating elemnts.if you will notice each of them has its own rhythm and style of dancing But they can be synchronized in some of their songs.

[@MikeysBasement]

That's awesome, I'm loving their attention to detail and the style they bring is just so dope!

[@uyenhuynh832]

Scentist was said to be based on a novel called Perfume, which tells a story about perfumer whose part-time job is murdering girls that smells good, hence the gun They never confirmed this but the imagery and story line is similar

[@MikeysBasement]

Ahhhhh! Now I get it! Thank you for clearing this up lol I was confused

WARNING LONG RANT! Count on VIXX to get a spooky, dark, murderous novel and make it look sexy and make you crave it :)) I completely LOVED their MV honestly, it's so intellectual and artsy, that I can't even stop being in awe by their concept picking. There are so many Easter Eggs, e.g.: at the second chorus when they start going into a line, they're in the order of their age to emphasize the evolution (age-wise) of the kid into the "murderer"; when Leo (white hair) is playing the air piano, the shadows create a piano, hinting at Beautiful Liar (a song of their sub-unit VIXX LR); again, when Leo is with the kid and is imagined as a dual personality, in blue and red, it hints at Whisper (Another song of their subunit) and soooooo many many connections between the book (Perfumer: story of a murderer) and the MV: - it starts with the child looking alone and scared of the outside world, which is what Grenouille (the main character of the book, the murderer) felt for most of his life. - there is a lot of red colour which could symbolise the characters obsession with redheads. - you can see some tools in the background, which are very similar the ones Grenouille used to dissect his victims. - we have mentions of petals a few times such as "harvesting the tears from the petals" (to harvest the scent of the dead body) and "the fallen tears, bloom anew again" (he immortalises the specific scent by extracting it and wearing it on himself. - the petals represent his victims, from which he carefully takes the scent in order for him to form a master scent (rose made from tears of petals) and live a perfect life (in the lyrics the rose symbolises the perfect scent and the creation of it is blooming - he believes that wearing the scent will make him the most powerful person in the world and in symbology the most beautiful bloomed rose) - science, experiements are clearly mentioned through the song and Grenouille had to go through years of mastering how to extract scents and preserve them - his obsession with scent is clearly portrayed "you complete my dizziness" and his mental illness is not in denial "the cord to my sanity that keeps dropping" What I am taking from this concept is that they are known as the group with unique concept - which is good for them as they have their individuality and creative freedom, but it can be hard to survive in a world where mostly mainstream artist succeed. They crave success (as anyone in the industry), but fail to get recognised as much as some of their fellow artist just because of their uniqueness just as Grenouille was rejected by the world because of the same reason. They are trying to let us know that they are in search of that perfect formula which will bring them to the stars and make the world adore them like Grenouille did with his master scent. Honestly, super impressed by them as a whole, P.S. I do not own the "copyright" for the book comparison as I've found it on KZbin as well, and I've been even more impressed by the whole MV ever since. VIXX is just, a bunch of geniuses with amazing voices. They're just there, in a League of their own. #stanVIXX #stanConceptKings

[@MsBlackAlice]

ikr the baseline is so good

[@MikeysBasement]

Melted me dude! Something about a good bassline just gets me going!

[@MsBlackAlice]

Mikey's Basement yaasssjhhhh

[@lelmdrWHO]

Could you do Error from VIXX next? The video is iconic for VIXX and it's one of those where the dance practice might actually be even better than the vid

[@doorknobofakender]

I agree about the dance practice because it starts with the Steel Heart intro that's not shown in the video EDIT: and of course i'm wrong about steel heart starting the dance practice. the one i saw with them together was a mirrored combo of the two dances combined

[@MikeysBasement]

Ooooo practice better than the MV? I gotta see this!

[@justanotherwhitegirla7093]

1ebilcat. The steel heart intro is in the error(?) dance practice. Yes with the question mark because it's the one where they were trying to mess each other not the regular dance practice.

[@doorknobofakender]

Oh that's right, their 'let's mess around here with the song' version does have it too. I was looking for the straight version with Steel Heart but it is a valid dance practice. Kinda XD

[@ohjaebum2632]

lelmDR.WHO? Yesss please !!

[@paolavelez129]

Can you also check the performance video of N? It was released a couple of weeks ago.

[@emilywella2009]

you have to check VIXX CHAINED UP & VIXX VOODOO DOLL & VIXX FANTASY , the Music Videos of these are WOW and There DANCES are just OUTSTINDING

[@ecem3861]

hope you won't forget the visual novel....(btw thanks for this reaction vixx is one of my favorite groups)

[@MikeysBasement]

Oh don't worry I haven't! I will have another episode up on friday, I'm gonna record it tomorrow night! We still gotta meet the rest of the boys!

[@moonrider3571]

OMG I really love your reactions please do more reaction for VIXX. If you dont saw yet please react their mv Error the storyline is awasome. And for scentist did you watch the movie 'parfume the story of a murderer' ? Mv kind of about the movie . They tried to make a parfume like their love or smt like that but while they trying that they almost kill their innosent part ( the little child represent their innosent part and the gun represent they almost kill him) in the and the child will survivor too.

[@MikeysBasement]

Oh wow I didn't know it was about a movie, lol I was wondering what the kid and gun had to do with everything. Now it's starting to make sense, thank you!

[@KM-fs2kh]

Pls react to their song Voodoo Doll. It’s a little bit graphic though

[@MikeysBasement]

Oooo! Scandalous! Lol I'll definitely check it

[@TheEvaristoCaitlin]

+Mikey's Basement You should react to old videos too, not just new ones

[@TheEvaristoCaitlin]

+Mikey's Basement I also suggest shinee if you havent watched or reacted. shinee and vixx are my faves.

[@Yino_lemmon]

It seems that you enjoyed VIXX a lot, but I’m still waiting for another reaction here after a year... 😭😭

[@BeyondTheLizzy]

BTS is my nr.1 group but Vixx is my 2nd favorite and I really love my bias is Leo (a.k.a the one with the red hat) and here is something you really didn't know, BTS Jin and Vixx Ken (a.k.a the one with the plaid shirt, the one member that did the move with the hands) are close friends😊 I assure you that you won't be disappointed by them

[@uyenhuynh832]

nope only Ken, maybe Ravi's in the same clique with Jimin (they're personally not that close tho) but literally no one else in VIXX hang out with any of the BTS members stop spreading fake news No hates just facts

[@BeyondTheLizzy]

Uyên Huỳnh Sorry just saw how friendly they all were at ISAC and thought they were close I didn't mean to spread fake news I just thought they were cause I saw how they were at Idol Star Athletics Championship😞

[@MikeysBasement]

Oh that's awesome! I'm loving these guys so it's great to hear they are friends with BTS!

[@jumingcat34]

Vixx used to be my favorite until Bts snatch my heart. But Vixx always gives me a reason to come back to listen to their song.

[@MikeysBasement]

They're awesome! I'm so happy I came across their music!

[@emilysn6393]

jumpingcat34 for me it was the opposite

[@yennalkr727]

Can u please react to day6-' shoot me ' mv ... It came out some hours back ... 😀😀😁

[@MikeysBasement]

I will! I'm so excited to check out their new music!

[@AnnDarko]

How do you think about pop-punk, rock? One ok Rock is japan band playing this genres, they are really good, especially their live, maybe you can react to them if you listen to this type of music. This is good start kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGrHkmalmrl3bKM They sing in English too

[@MikeysBasement]

Awesome! I love pop punk! Thank you for the suggestion, I'll definitely check them out!
