STRAYKIDS ROCKSTAR Concept + Storyline explained

[@orion5445]

If the trailer represents their debut then it makes sense why their album is a rock concept. Bc similarly their debut song District 9 was mostly rock genre.

[@onlystayskz23]

it makes so much sense cause stray kids even showed some special dates in their chronosaurus mv at the end … i am 100% sure he/she is right with the assumptions that the clock represents their debut i mean omg everything makes sense now

[@kyzdo]

i am officially very interested in skz lore

[@yezys_luvz]

samee

[@Sandyyyyyyyyyy]

Me too. I know nothing about it, but the I.N bit reminded me of Miroh where he had the walkie-talkie and was behind the scenes while the other kids were part of the chaos on the streets. I feel like I'm about to go on another rabbit trail lol

[@nualaseamus]

Same, I would love to see an attempt at novelization or bringinging it all together.

[@ytakeshima8832]

It makes sense that Felix is the angel because it reminds me of that scene during Social Path when he had the angel wings

[@Quokkiwi]

Wait thats a good point

[@milafaizah1497]

@@Quokkiwi yeah he is true during social path bangchan is like being suffocated by all the fear and social pressure.

[@egghead_felix]

And if the angel and demon theory is true, I love how at the end they BOTH say “let’s show them how we rock!” Because anxiety and joy come together to form excitement. So the fact that both of them came together at this intersection is amazing! Love it ❤️

[@iamykarihyy]

Maybe I.n is travelling through the universes? Skz lore is crazy and very interesting. I think Lee Know is another villain too cause he never dies. In Lonely st, in the end, he was the only one awake. And he betrayed skz members in Venom with poison food

[@Lovestay822]

That was actually Lee know who was awake at the end of lonely st

[@chelle8521]

Yeah you can say that lee know may be the other villain of the skz lore. The maniac scene where skz are inside his head, him the only won who woke up in lonely st., Him who poisoned skz in venom, him who has the creepy smiles in maniac skz trailers

[@Lovestay822]

6:06 the "Look! The children are coming on stage" is so funny to me bc they're literally Stray ~Kids~ (watch me say that line if I ever get to attend one of their concerts lol)

[@zack_x_x]

There's something i just noticed, skz usually titels the vids like "Stray kids 5-star trailer" BUT THIS ONE IS TITELD "Stray kids Rock-star Prologue" EXUSE ME PROLOGUE? Me and my friend had this theory that this "chaoter" will take place in the past and the kids represent skz. Skz was always about how they rise in the past to fix a "mistake", But what mistake? I THINK IN THIS ALBUM WE FIND OUT WHICH MISTAKE. THATS WHY THEY WROTE "PROLOGUE" BECAUSE IT HAPPENS *BEFORE* THE STORY.

[@kpopbeingkpop]

omg waittt this makes so much sense!!! you might be onto something 🤔

[@Felixs_brownie]

Skz's lore is honestly so much more confusing to me then all of the lore from all the groups I Stan combined! Every lore I'm into is So freaking crazy and complicated but SKZ lore is making me question my sanity at this point 💀 anyways congrats to SKZ new comback and I'm really interested on where this lore will take us in their next comback 😌

[@blehhhehehaj]

jeongin was the only one who wasn't "harmed" in social path is because they were supposed to avoid him. in the song they sing about their internal fears, and jeongin's is being overlooked and forgotten. but it probably is connected somehow, nothing is a coincidence.

[@jungkookwillbethedeathofme]

i.n’s lore is something that needs to be solved in my lifetime

[@lanobaban4507]

Yes true he is the youngest but the main villain in ska lore

[@francis_fraisee]

i believe lee know was building the bomb in the noeasy trailer, during the "im hungry !!!" part,, so that means that theyre all somehow connected. he was building the bomb in noeasy, han has a lot of things to do with time in oddinary, chan has the bomb in 5 star, and now theres a time bomb,,, SOMETHING is gonna happen at some point

[@Dany-Mar-Flamenco]

Omg and today felix posted on Instagram "All you have to do is wait" (somewhere around thoes lines). This is sooo crazy. U right lol 😅

[@junglejim-fd7up]

in a past live, chan had said i.n was the oracle and he knows all🤷

[@osnapitznene02]

* Talking about the last part of the video, about i.n." I.n. is the maknae (the youngest) of skz. You know that thing about kids, something like "Kids are mouths of truth" so that's prolly why i.n. always see things that others don't. He knows all the truth while the others don't

[@lovelyluhan]

Thank you for this analysis. There are many connections that convey a very strong message, all of those which a lot of people struggle or thrive (sometimes negatively) on: sadness, anger, fear, happiness. I’m very proud of Stray Kids, they’ve come a long way. I wasn’t originally a fan but have grown to appreciate them and their talents.

[@nityagupta3666]

oh the focus on emotions this comeback is driving me insane. the tracklist also focuses on what emotions the songs represent.

[@hannah-jolielittlefield3131]

also with their recent song 'Social Path' where they said "gave up my youth for my future" I feel like it's all leading to this. And a friend of mine even brought out how the name of that song is quite close to "sociopath" and since we've had the whole storyline with album Maniac...I think it's all tying together

[@kpopgal785]

Yes and after seeing the megaverse trailer things are falling into place a bit

[@happyfrog29]

I did notice a lot in the trailer and I also noticed I.n that he was a little weird what I pick up in there music videos is very interesting their always looking for a key but they haven’t fund the right one yet or they need all the keys but haven’t found all of them yet they’re looking for something but haven’t found it yet who really knows?

[@Dor_sa_]

In the ending shot of the side effects mv we can also see a key is being left out in the water and I think that has something to do with your theory

[@baadhamster]

At 2:32 I think it's funny that it's also Savage Racha (LeeKnow and Seungmin) in the middle of the chaos.😂

[@aprilgreen2006]

The lore is worse than the MCU timelines, but hey we are all for it. Love trying to decipher all of it from the beginning to now and beyond is going to be fun. Bang Chan whispering is scarier than him yelling sends chills that is what that dose..

[@Sara-db9qo]

Dude I love your thoery videos so much!! like they are the only ones that I love to watch and explained really good?? Good job!👏and you are right Chan's line "anxiety is something we create ourselves" is so scary and hits really strong because it speaks the darkest thoughts of our minds. I absolutely LOOOOVE the idea of the debate inside the boy's mind using Chan as the villian and Felix as the angelic , calm and soothing voice IT IS SO BRILLIANT!!😭

[@stillastrayyayayaya]

I love how you pointed out every detail in the trailer! Would like to add that I think the clock represents Chronosaurus too. As a group, Stray Kids are in a race against time because they are growing older and eventually, they will have to start thinking about joining the compulsory Korean military service training (which is mandatory for 6 out of 8 members excluding Bangchan and Felix). Plus, although they are considering to renew their contract with JYPE in 2025 (last I heard was that they might renew for another 5 years but we can never be certain). So, yeah they are in a race against the clock and that explains them working extra hard to put out as much content as they can. That's my theory anyway.

[@luvv4mo]

The things that I noticed are, of course, Felix as the angel and Chan as a Demon, that it was a child's dream. Maybe I should rewatch all their trailers hehehe. Btw, all trailers of skz is like a trailer of a movie. I'm excited.

[@bettyreads222]

Thanks for this breakdown and theorizing super helpful!

[@lastbanana1723]

Skz lore is crazy....skz need to solve i.n mystery i am sooooo curious and dying out of curiosity 😂😂😂

[@hraii-momo_64]

i know im late, but my theory is that during astronaut, hyunjin found everyone’s clones, and he was supposed to move on but he freed them accidentally,resulting on clone i.n staying with original skz, and original i.n staying with clone skz, making him evil, making him a kind of mastermind behind the skz verse. i think this explains why on the noeasy trailer, i.n seemed confused after waking up on the fridge, this can be because he can swap with the original i.n, but not for long, also skz verse references the mcu, which says in movies like doctor strange and the multiverse of madness that people can travel through universes by dreams, that’s why he woke up. in oddinary trailer we can see how he looks evil and how he treated felix, also him making a note of felix being missing on the newspaper. this is also because felix can travel between universes and time but he can’t control his powers really well, that’s why he was missing, he was not on that universe anymore. by this time, the original i.n came back with the original skz, leaving clone i.n with clone skz, but original one became evil, so he created the heart/love monster off clone i.n, that’s why he shoots at it and it transforms into i.n, this is because he wants to get rid of the clones that “ruined his life”, making him disappear and lose his real friends. in skz flix he (apart from lee know) is the one who interacts more with felix, meaning he could see him since the start. in skz flix, felix helped lino recover from the car crash in b me, that’s why he has scars, but this felix is not the original one from that universe, so when felix disappears and appears later, that one that appeared is the actual felix that belongs in that universe, except for i.n, the evil original one can travel and be in any universe, that’s why he always looks like he knows something. remember, this is my theory so im not sure if it is canon

[@Dramallamaaa.]

Honestly i dont know if im the only one who thinks that but i feel like maybe the 8 kids represents straykids and the kid who was sleeping or waiting for the concert is chan u can see that put of the 7 kids he was like the main lead in the trailer and it showed only this kid while the others was only short seconds so maybe the kid represents chan when they were debuting and their survival show when the kid was worried ans as u said it kept showing the date of their debute march 25th so this trailer shows about the thoughts of chan when they were debuting and when he had postive thoughts about debuting as 8 but then negative as each of the members were getting criticised in front of him making him worried that they wont debut as whole what they dreamt of and i feel like angel felix represents as stray kids being positive about debuting helping chan gain his confidence in debuting than the start while chan represents the negitve because that he was scared for them not go debut as whole due to the criticism they got during there pre debut days and from what we saw the trailer gave off memories about their debut times becauee the date of their debut was shown alot and the bus as u said represents the district 9 bus they were on and the joy fear anger part is the part were each of them feeling diffrent emotions like fear-they were scared they couldnt debut together and achieve their dream while joy-when they were happy about debuting together and passed all their hard times while anger or negative when they recived alot of hate during their tough times and the last part "LETS SHOW THEM HOW WE ROCK" is what they all thought while going to the stage their debut stage hoping they would debut as 8 not 6 and i think the clowns represents the haters who hated on them but when they were happy except i.n part u can see all of them were happy for making it except i.n because he knew either the future or he knew there were gonna be alot of tough times he is scared to pass i normally dont focus too much on trailers so thank u so much for showing us the details because skz lore is so confusing😅

Is great how usually the fans describe Felix like an angel with a demon voice. And in Social Path Felix is an angel but more like fallen one because his wings are not pure white. And is the result of learning and clashing with society. What if the calming voice of Felix is actually a delusion, kinda like is deceiving. Maybe, I don’t know, is hard to say, I don’t know how to use the right wording.

[@mystery7806]

I want to share my theory on I.N. and Chan. I want to say they are more like thoughts that I have put together with things I've noticed. I haven't deep dived or anything like that. Its more like a messy puzzle put together by an ADHD person. I want to start with I.N. I don't think I.N. is "an accomplice" with Chan. I do agree that he seems to know something though. There are so many times were they've showed I.N. is more self aware than the others (in this case, except Chan). This is shown many, many times. Such as in Hellavtor (Which I'll be using a lot) when he looks back at the blissful realm they are leaving ( also known as the 'neverland' realm where the real Han is replaced with the Neverland Han) it's almost as he FEELS that something is off (however it isn't clear if he knows exactly what). In the S Class trailer I.N. is the only one who introduced himself as himself, proving once again he's more self aware than the others. The other introduced themselves as things such as 'a romantic' or a 'conductor'. In the S class MV I.N. seemingly tries to jump out/ reach for something out the window showing once again he is most self aware. He definitely knows something is going on but I don't think it because he's and accomplice and here's why. Bang Chan has always been having hint dropped in many of the MVs and trailers that he is the bad guy, the villain so to speak. And another interesting thing.. is he's always there by I.N. And I think it's because he knows. He KNOWS I.N. knows there's something off. He KNOWS I.N is the most self aware. But it doesn't seem strange because Chan is the oldest, the Hyung of the group. So it seems like he's just being the protective Hyung. But he's there everytime I.N. hesitates. In Hellavator, he's the one that encourages I.N.to leave. In S Class MV CHAN is the one to pull I.N. back (with Lee Know which.. accomplice? Maybe, maybe not). In S class MV we see Chan taking over with anger. We also see him say 'what'?WIth domineering eyes As if someone asked him a question (most likely I.N.) that he didn't like. Maybe too close to the Truth? And of course as you mentioned for this video, he's seemingly the 'demon' voice. And I.N. once again is the only one acting different. The best part about making Chan 'the villain' is that he would most likely never be questioned. He's the trusted leader. The trusted Hyung. The only one to ever question him is I.N. and even then it will still be hard for I.N. to believe it. Because once again, the oldest,the Hyung that always looked out for him. Stray kids lore is incredible and can be taken in so many ways. I'm definitely gonna say that this is all probably not right, it's just how I interpreted things and thing I noticed that pulled towards this idea. I know I probably just typed all this for nobody to see it butttt it tis what it tis. Thank you for reading if you did!

Yeah I saw a theory in twt where it explains the boy who was in dream is hyunjin who wasn't in shot where u saw 7 of them ,,the same little boy they saved in kingdom who was hyunjin. The anger of this little boy cracked the wall so the theory says it's from other multiverse from TOP mv where in rap part hyunjin broke and cracked the glass.. that's how it broke the wall and when they say it turn to anxiety the close shot is hyunjin angel face . Also the kids was in dream felix said should we wake him up ,, didn't reminds y'all of past mvs like side effects, levanter choreo too? Where hyunjin is in dream ( this has another theory based on inception film dream in dream multiverse),and at the end they want woke up him also in levanter choreo chan woke hyunjin up from ground. And as chan said before Jeongin is important character who knows what no one knows. And about villain if u think about oddinary and Maniac hyunjin is main villain too, wanted to make felix oddinary from side effects,,
