    I just found you and want to let you know how wonderful it is to see a newer reaction channel where the creator understands that they are on video, so they show their reaction instead of just talking about it which they could just as easily do with an audio only format. Its not often to find youtubers that know the difference between reactions, reviews, and commentary. Thank you for reminding me why I actually call myself a fan of reactions.

    #XG has faced significant criticism from toxic K-pop fandoms, who have accused them of cultural appropriation due to Cocona's hairstyles featuring twists. Cocona's decision to shave her head serves as a bold statement challenging these detractors. Additionally, some fans are displeased with XG's activities in South Korea, overlooking the fact that Japan's music industry is the second-largest globally, after the USA. While K-pop groups are welcomed in Japan, these fans criticize XG for promoting in South Korea. They consume XG's content solely to find faults, feeling threatened by the group's success, even though XG consistently delivers outstanding performances. They put down XG to elevate their favorite K-pop groups. It's undeniable that XG, comprised of seven talented young women, are all-rounders as vocalists, rappers, dancers, and performers.

    XGALX ( XGALAXY ) is the name of their label. The group name also comes from that ( XG = Xtraordinary Girls ) Cocona shaving her head can be interpreted in multiple ways. Saying F U to the beauty standards of the industry ? Also, XG got some shade because of their outfits, hair styles,lyrics etc. ( Coco had braids for a lil while, so basically saying here, I cut all off, what now ? ) saying that they appropriate black culture ( they actually don't, they love the culture and they pay homage all the time. They don't pretend, they grew up with those songs, their inspirations are the biggest old school R&B, hip-hop,rap artists mostly from the USA, they sing their songs,they use their beats, they shoutout and everything ) also, it appears she already did that when she was younger and wanted to do it again. The label didn't want her to until now since it fits the concept and MV so she did it in this MV. That can mean a lot of things but its a bold move either way and it is fun, it is swaggy and it suits her personality. She is one of the swaggiest ,coolest people I have ever seen. She is so badass.

    Your take is actually spot on, this scene symbolizes so much for them, they were always put in the kpop jpop category which to them wasn’t enough and was just basic these girls pushed against the grain esp in their culture it’s not normal for a kpop or jpop girl group at that to simply buzz cut because in other Korean pop videos their looks are amplified their set to be beautiful their hairs are always different and honestly it’s more appealing to the viewers
    But these girls basically saying no matter what we look like your still gonna listen to our songs and
    Watch our videos and literally millions maybe almost billions of views now they predicted it haha

  • @tactiletinkerer
    @tactiletinkerer Месяц назад +49

    In Japanese society, a woman cutting their hair can signify a major change, a break out, a transition -- whether to apologise for something (there, for a woman to cut their hair is an ancient symbol of sacrificing their allegedly most important thing, their sense of being female) or to show a renewed desire & seriousness to achieve the next level. Cocona shaved her head not to lose her womanhood, but to rebel against the very conventions of femininity, being a woman and powerful -- in not only very-conservative-for-women Japanese society, but globally. That she can cut off the very thing clocking her as a female human being to many and still be a queen, with her crew and Simon behind her 1000%, leading from the front. Plus, she's always wanted to do it. Get 'em Cocona! 🫶
    XGALX is XG's label.

    They were thoroughly trained for many years. The trainee group they started with about 30 trainees. Most of them started training at around 12 to 15 years old. Through the process of consistent elimination and examination, the group ended with 7 members. The guy you see at the beginning is Simon Jakops. He is the CEO of XGALZ, XG’s producer, and the person who formed and taught XG their skills along their other mentors. Fun fact, some of the girls you see now almost got permanently kicked out during the training process. They had to catch up to the other trainees and eventually succeed.

    Cocona always wanted to cut her hair but Simon wouldn't let her because it didn't fit what they were doing. For this song it made more sense especially with the aesthetic. Her parents even verified, as it wasn't forced on her, she wanted to do it. XGALX is their label owned by Simon/JAKOPS, who founded the group and is also their producer/mentor.
    And just to add, the themes you'll see in videos/pics are images of alien/space (as they're different from kpop/jpop groups) and also the wolf as their fandom (their pack) is called ALPHAZ. Dope reaction.

    Another thing is the girls are japanese and based in Korea and in these societies it’s really expected for women to be ultra-feminine, so cocona shaving her head is like a major culture shock. I’ve never seen another Jpop or kpop girl doing that before-ever. Their concept is all about subverting standards and expectations and it’s really cool to see that they ACTUALLY follow through with that message, they’re not just talk but they really do mean to shake up the community there.

    I was beaten. Among the group artists, XG stands out for being able to express such a strong impact on their music videos, as they can do anything perfectly. I felt that this kind of strong approach, which is possible (or rather, rare) in Europe and America, was also emerging in Asia and, even in Asia, the Japanese children did not expect, but from an outlaw, has A certain meaning. Do you have an image than the Japanese would do better? As for cocona, she herself suggested shaving her hair, and her parents approved, as she wanted from an early age. Besides, she said: As the hammers hate my hair so much, I will give you a different hairstyle to have something to say, because her talent was not in her hair, kkkkkkkk, beloved, at first was against, but she convinced them that I wanted to do this for her and the group. Respect my alien wolves. Queens. Amazing how they showed their skills convincingly so far, has been shot, fucking and bomb. Pure nitroglycerin. Iconic and trained queens that do not lower their heads to anyone. I am looking forward to the future of XG. Thanks for this wonderful reaction.💣💥

    Hii..
    I hope u read this.
    I know this is random, but i was wondering if you are a hip hop fan, bcs i am.
    It is one of the main reason why i love XG, they have great hip hop element in their music.
    But also as a fellow hip hop fan and a huge music admirer, i would like to suggest to check out BTS.
    People hardly know this but BTS has a very strong Hip Hop element in their music, especially old school hip hop.
    2 of the members came from underground rappers, and 1 from hip hop street dancer.
    So yea.. they're really good. And they really were and still are the students of the game.
    This list right here are some of their best songs and tracks.
    Please react to these :
    1. *Monster* by RM (og track from Grown Simba, J.Cole)
    2. *Hip Hop Phile* (here they pay homage to the legendss. Talkin abt Tupac, Biggie, JayZ, Nas, Rakim, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg (also specifically talk abt the album The Chronic, Doggy Style and Illmatic too) they also mentioned KRS-ONE, Kendrick Lamar, Gang Starr, Pete Rock, CL Smooth, J.Cole and a lot more. And they basically telling their stories of how they got deep into the culture).
    3. *Cypher pt.1-4* by the Rap Line (straight up Cyphers)
    4. *Joke* by RM (og track by Run The Jewels, Oh My Darling)
    5. *Born Singer* (og by Born Sinner, J.Cole)
    6. *Agust D* by Agust D
    7. *Persona* by RM (mixed of hip hop and a lil bit of rock)
    8. *Daechwita* by Agust D
    9. *Ddaeng* by the Rap Line (traditional instrument, mixed with trap beat)
    10. *Snooze* by Agust D
    11. *Look Here*
    12. *Rain*
    I suggest to check out the lyric videos, or MV with lyrics. Bcs their wordplay is amazing, and also deep.
    These songs right here serve Vocal, Raps, Lyrics/stories, instruments, just high quality productions.
    And honestly some of them are pretty underrated and TRUST ME.. just TRUST MEE
    You will love them
    Btw thank you
