Classical & Jazz Musicians React: NMIXX 'O.O'

I personally think the pause in the mv causes for more confusion because it creates the divide between the 2 parts of the song more evident. I didn't like the song when I initially heard it bc I watched the mv but when I listened to it on Spotify and the 2 sections were put side by side it wasn't as jarring to me

[@charred6683]

I grew up listening to music that change genres, beats, and experiment with different style in the same song. And now you think I'm gonna agree with you, but no, not at all. This song is tapping into the extremely short attention spam that the new generation have devolved into, just like what Next Level did, where people's brain forget the previous part when a new part starts, they focus on everything separately even if it's not supposed to be separated. This problem in the composition is caused by the actual and objective absence of a transition like it should have to connect everything together. People who dislike this song is not because they're not used to genre swapping, they dislike the song because they know it's lacking a lot to be considered a good composition. Those who like the song either don't care about well made music or are shills to the brands, they see a big name and just follow the crowd regardless of what it is.

[@a_k_406]

Agree with Sam about the trumpet, he put it into words what I feel. The Baila Baila part was a turn off for me, not a good loud. Middle section is great, I like that part a lot. Others are just okay. I don’t like some transitions, like before the last chorus and into it. Listening to it again now, I guess there’s more of it that I don’t like about this but it’s interesting, and also hear what reacttothek thinks and feel about it :)

[@brynmarie9655]

Yeah this is exactly how I feel. I don’t like the chorus in the first and last section, and I think the transitions could’ve been more tactful. I understand the connections between the sections and I also think they were going for shock value (and honestly I think JYP is trying to recreate the success of AESPA and Next Level a bit) in the way they moved, but I don’t think just the sheer fact that the sections are connected in some way makes the transitions effective. Mostly it’s just the transition back that I don’t like. The transition into the middle I like a lot more now that I’ve listened to the official track without that pause. But yeah it’s interesting to hear what they had to say as a musician myself, and while the song had grown on me, I still don’t love it.

[@yulana990]

Then theres me, who only likes the 1st and last section and wished they made a full song with that sound 😂 I still think they shouldve made 2 separate songs, cause a lot of fans have been saying they only liked the middle donut shop part and not the rest.

imo the first verse (haewon and bae's) was the most disappointing part of the song... felt like it could've been better constructed and mixed, it sounded a little off??? but everything else was great! i listen to a lot of "experimental" stuff and generally have a very welcoming approach on music, so the "confusing" and "terrible" comments didn't really make much sense to me

[@alvareo92]

The first time I listened to it I was like WHAT THE HELL IS THIS on like the beginning and every transition but in a very good way. I could totally understand how some people could be very put off but what I can't understand is people saying the song is "meh" or "girl crush stereotype" like it literally is a mix of girl crush and weird club music and Brazilian funk and colourful upbeat Kpop like how can you say it's just a failed generic attempt at a trendy sound?

[@saikojoji4079]

@@alvareo92 people are really firing off some crazy takes about this song, and while I understand this is more unorthodox than most, it really isn't that different from what's been going on in kpop right now. next level had a similar structure, o.o was just a little more experimental with the genres they chose to mix the mv did the song a disservice too, that gap really made it seem more disjointed and it's a shame because i actually enjoyed how they transitioned from one part to another. people make it seem like it came out of nowhere but i'd argue that the bridge on savage was even more out of left field 😭

Hi :) when I said “trap” I was only referring to the hi-hat sound the producers used, not referencing the actual genre of music! I’m SUPER unfamiliar with Brazilian funk. Upon further listening the “baile funk” pattern that the producers employed here is a two bar pattern similar to son clave, as opposed to the one bar pattern you typically see in reggaeton music. However, the first bar of that “baile funk” pattern sounds very similar to reggaeton. That’s why I was confused after only hearing it once. Hope that clears some things up!

FACT: I'm a musician ALSO FACT: There is nobody who can really fully comprehend NMIXX and their music, no not even musicians. But that is what makes NMIXX so unique! First, their sound and style MIXXPOP is meant to break musical standards and norms. Second, you will never know what they'll do next. Unlike other artists whose songs pretty much sound the same every comeback. This is why they made a statement with their debut song o.o . The song was a literal teaser, both conceptually and lyrically. A teaser of what NMIXX is capable of, and man are they more than capable. This group is not talented! They are skillfull... Because talent you may or may not be born with. But these girls are skillfull, due to the fact that they worked so hard not only just so they could debut, but they continue to improve. I believe that there is no limit to what NMIXX can and will do. They are true artists who stay true to their craft, regardless of what other people say and tell them to do. No compromise!

[@yulana990]

@@szdraa You also gotta know that just cause some musicians in this video enjoyed it, it doesnt mean other musicians will think the same. Someone else also pointed out, just cause its intellectually interesting, doesnt mean it emotionally is. Just cause something follows a beat or is interesting to experts ears, as that is their job, doesnt mean the outcome is pleasing or good? Thats like someone making a salad where every ingredient is healthy and people saying its the most bland unsatisfying salad ever, but because 1 dietitian said "wow thats healthy" all the criticism is nullified cause others arent "experts"? When the criticism never even was about it being a healthy salad, but a TASTY salad. Same with this song, peple are pointing out that compared to other songs like these (all of SM) this one was done very oddly. Yes the transitions are there, beat there, and professional musicians ears might find it fascinating, but fascinating doesnt mean it sounds good or people cant say they dislike it. Cause the point of a song in the end is making a song people want to and enjoy listening to, not what song can please professional only ears. Most people have even said they loved the donut shop part and wished that was its own song, whilst other like me think the 1st and last part couldve been a great song OR if they shortened the donut shop part it wouldve blended in better. You even saw one of the musicians in the video be shocked that they kept going for so long with the donut shop mid section. Its not something people do in proper "weird mix" songs, because it makes people forget the other part even exists if it goes on for so long and makss it more jarring. I wouldve loved the song if they switched back to the 1st part after the swinging section in the donut shop, but they decided to add another section afterwards which makes it very long and then suddenly the end is just them saying the same words over and over again. You dont need to be a musician to know that wont be pleasing to most peoples ears, and just cause a song was technically made correctly doesnt mean it works. If someone gave me a bowl of tofu, spinach, almonds, quinoa and avocado and told me its healthy, I still wouldnt enjoy it when its clearly not seasoned properly even if its checks of the boxes and the rules for a good salad. Keep in mind I actually support NMIXX and still listen to the song (only for the start of the song tho) and love their bside Tank, but that doesnt mean people criticizing the song need to be musicians lmao

[@szdraa]

@@yulana990 i think i worded what i meant to say in a weird way. i never said people can't dislike it, i understand why they do, but they throw around words that make no sense to justify their hate towards the girls- i have seen some vile stuff being said that was just not necessary. that was my point. i personally enjoy noise music a lot and i always get excited for experimental releases, but i know that's not what a lot of people enjoy. the thing that irks me is people saying things that don't make sense. i could not care less about whether or not someone doesn't like a song, but these are the same people attacking those who do enjoy it while not even being able to count four beats twice over. this was the thing with sticker too and next level and i could go on. i know what you mean and i agree with you, perhaps i didn't articulate what i meant to say well enough. yes you don't need to be a musician to criticise it, but at the same time, if you're going to act like you know what you're talking about (like in terms of being off beat or transitions or syncopation and whatever else people like to comment on) then at least know what those actually mean, and also be aware that songs don't have to follow the same generic chord progression and bpm structure, because otherwise it sounds kinda weird. it's like if i was criticising someone's cooking while not knowing what half the words i'm throwing around mean and not actually knowing how to cook- acting like a know it all when i know absolutely nothing about cooking. i can say i dislike it yes. but if i decided to take apart the way someone prepared a dish, then i'd just look like a mug. i know it's not that deep, but when some people get bold with their opinions and think theirs is superior and everyone jumps on the bandwagon, and starts hating others for not agreeing, it gets very annoying.

Thank you so much for making this video. I always hear people saying that the production was bad, but that's not true. In terms of music taste, it might not be everyone's favourite, but the composers did A LOT, musically, and it's quite complicated as well.

[@justlaila9834]

the song literally functions as a teaser for nmixx future comebacks and what they are capable of and i loved how all your reactions at the end of the song showed that (theres the literal lyrics 'its just a teaser' in the song) and it really makes me want to see what nmixx and their producers and company have planned for th efuture

[@anjumlimbu914]

At first i really didn't like this song but after listening to it continues time iam in love with this song. This song is so unique also the vocals, visual of the girls are so good 😍

[@thatmusadude777]

yess actual musician knowledge!! the producers of the song really thought things out and not just play around in the studio like what the haters assumed when this was released

[@erica8863]

The breakdown for the final genre switch was really informative. I originally thought the tempo/metric change happened with the scene change but the fact that it's delayed makes the moment both confusing and satisfying. Also, can't wait for Feel My Rhythm. As I listened to it, I was thinking "There's that modal mixture. ReacttotheK is gonna have a field day with this one."

[@SheepyxTails]

Listening to this song now after DICE makes me want this style back because, sure it was out there as a song, but you get used to it and it's unique. It made them stand out and I wish they kept that sound.

[@njcr57]

Wow thanks for breaking it down for us non musicians! I appreciate the editing that went into this - super helpful to understand the concepts esp when you were isolating the instruments and illustrating the tempo onscreen. Thanks to everyone who helped us understand why we were so confused. ❤ Haha

[@MaluSilva-yx8nl]

When I first heard this song, and I think a lot of people had a similar experience, it was just too much to digest, I finished watching the MV at first without remembering anything about the song because it was just too much going on haha. But after seeing this video, a lot of things made more sense, especially the very beginning of the song that always makes me feel weird and now I realize it's because of the lyrics being extremely offbeat. ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO 10000/10 I WAS COMPLETELY 🤯🤯🤯 WATCHING IT THANK YOU

They will be like fx. Too ahead of its time, people call it weird. Then in a couple of years it will be called genius. As a SNSD fan who survived the IGAB era that was full of madness, O.O isn’t too overwhelming.

[@bella11110]

I wouldn't call it ahead of its time since this is something that had been done before by different groups, and just like IGAB, rn and in the future, there will be always people who'd call it genius or a disaster, it a taste thing I would say

[@benkalem]

It's well-produced, visually stunning, and the girls do a great job. It's just kinda meh. It's one of those things, where this works as a performance, but as a piece of music, it's forgettable. It has so many good ingredients, but it comes out of the oven overbaked and a bit burnt. "Too many cooks in the Kitchen" kinda deal. It's intellectually interesting, but emotionally empty. The good thing is, they are great performers, well-trained talented entertainers, and I have no doubt, that with the right songs they can make a really big impact on the scene.

[@PlanA2013]

"It's intellectually interesting, but emotionally empty". Thank you for these words. It is just completely my thoughts.

[@sheryl_tan]

"intellectually interesting but emotionally empty" is so true for me. Just found it hard to connect with the song and I don't know when I am going to need or want to listen to it.

[@alvareo92]

I liked it because I enjoy some very weird experimental music and I also love Kpop so this was perfect for me. Maybe it doesn't communicate something coherent or poignant, but the craziness really resonates with me, it most definitely gives me an emotional reaction (not intellectual; I usually don't like art where you can tell it was primarily an intellectual exercise) that I keep coming back to. Just a matter of preference!

[@blanca3806]

Some of us are passionate about the “intellectually interesting” and it has emotional value in a different way than what other people like you are usually looking for. Like it was forgettable for you because you don’t value the things it brings but some of us like the ppl in the video do value them.

[@DR-di1ow]

The part that I don't really like the most is the chorus 'balla balla" part, I don't like the composing and instrumental choices. I'm agree with Sam, that trumpet sounds is so disturbing, in the 'balla balla' chorus, I think it's either misplaced or the sound is just not harmonize well with the other instruments inthat part, also I'm sorry to say this but I hope THE HUB stop using that cheap trumpet sounds, they've used it a lot in their productions actually.

[@RudeMekanicals]

Thank you guys for giving O.O a fair shake. It is far from a perfect song but it is also not the worst debut ever that so many people claimed. A good subjective analysis is always appreciated.

I am not so much familiar about music production but all I know is that it was really unique and fun like playing a rubik's cube! Thank you guys for your reaction!

I find what Ravi said towards the end about it being a representation of virtuality very interesting, especially because the middle section's lyrics dissect a world of the new metaverse.

tank is also super cool and also does something like the intro in the prechorus!!!! its one of the many things about it that are musically interesting but basically it just. cuts a beat and places it in another place, so its 4/4 3/4 4/4 5/4. u should put it as a future reaction for sure

[@crptpyr]

It's been 2 years but I've gotta say I still love that rug pull at the start of the song so much. That sudden meter change always takes me back to the first time I ever listened to this song, I was getting into the pulse of the intro and as soon as it changed I whipped my head back around to the front like "woah what just happened". Like it felt like a deliberate move to make sure you were paying attention.

yes exactly. I doesnt matter to me when they made a name of this genre MIXPOP but calling this genre is "new genre" when SM already do this kind of genre for their artist is teribble to me. Is like JYP is in denial that SM already use this "new genre" long time ago.

@Tralala_Beez it's actually the mixing are smoother for those SM’s song you mentioned while in this song, I found the mixing and changes of genre are so abrupt and threw you off.

It's like the starting chapter in a music film to me + the feeling of something missing at the end = a nice intro to a group because you have a glimpse of how the group will be like and want more from the group. Just like you wanna know what will happen next at the beginning of a movie. For me, it is a good choice as a debut song but it would be better if it is the first song of a full-length album.

[@kingfisher-sv1rb]

So glad I found this reaction. I enjoyed and had fun with the song from the first listen because I also saw it as "telling a story"--I heard and visually saw the 1st and 2nd sections as moving into a different places, rather than "this is a single cohesive song"? In general I see the whole piece as an introduction to the group and what ideas they are going to bring, not as an indicator of what every song NMIXX releases is going to be structured like. People keep comparing it to I Gotta Boy, but that I see as functioning as one whole song. I viewed this more like a movie with different interesting scenes and an epic finish. I think it's fair to be confused because you hear it as one entire song; I hear it more like a medley. I even think it's fair to just not like how it sounds. What I don't think is fair is people clearly trashing it or hating on it just because they want to feel superior for stanning "a better group" or whatever reason lol 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway. Hope what I said made sense. 😅 I enjoyed the video! Thanks guys 🤗
