“Simon Says” is about rejection of the establishment and being yourself. They talk about the pressures to conform and meet certain expectations, while being judged for doing just that. So, they have decided to say “screw it” and do what what they want and be themselves. “Simon says we’re a real vibe killer” is a snarky way of acknowledging what the haters say. It’s sarcasm. But the song is also a clapback song about the haters and the public always ragging on NCT, saying that they copy other bands or that NCT sound is too strange. On the contrary, NCT 127 is praised by Western music critics for being progressive and ahead of trend. This song is them saying they know they are forward thinkers and easily misunderstood, and are ok if people don’t agree or judge them...cuz why do the haters take such a strong interest anyway to stop and stare/listen. They don’t tell the haters to “f-off”, but instead invite the haters to follow along in their game when they’re ready to give in to the NCT sound and style, cuz they believe it’ll happen eventually. 😏🔥 It’s almost like a new way to “kill them with kindness” towards the haters. It’s damn brilliant!!! 😉😂🙌
I knew it the moment I watched their mv thats what it was and I'm so damn proud of them for it too. They should just do what they do and be themselves. NCTzens will love them either way
Simon Says is literally talk about not conforming to society’s norm. Of how human beings try to follow the conventions of the society (like how the game Simon Says work) The masks symbolize how most of people put their selves in facade. And in this song NCT try to break the system by being their selves insted of follow what society thinks. It’s also talk a lot about their music in general. Most of NCT songs always have weird, unusual, unique & experimental sound, but it fresh & different. Their song *TOUCH* was maybe their most Korean public-friendly song. And I really can’t get enough with this hypnotic beat 👍🏻 Also there’s line “Bless me achoo” explain about when we sneeze it means someone talk about us & that explain NCT don’t care about haters. They said *be cool & don’t be such a fool* I’m not good at explaining so I hope you get what I mean 😂
I was withal very shocked by the fact that another piece of cultural music used and portrayed a piece of my culture into theirs it was very astounding. At first I optically discerned tweets about it on twitter but I cerebrated, it was unauthentically spurious, but a few days later I stumbled across the pristine video on RUclips and I was overall surprised. I am genuinely thankful that they utilized the haka in their musical composition. Thank You NCT! Great song BTW! Love it💜
Ruatapuwahine Clarke that's why they are really awesome... making people around the world feel they are closer to you! they reaching out and really i can not explain how they open the song with such a powerful intro make you feel... pushing the music industry foreword yet hold into the old trip culture.. it makes me feel the revolution in the music going forward yet holding to humanity roots and freedom from all what's going crazy in the world from bad to the good from being follower to the freedom holding our essence as humans
omg yeah i'm from nz too and i freaked out when i heard it lmao, i wasn't sure whether it really was a haka or not at first but i'm glad nz is getting some more recognition :)
Whether you were asking or not, you answered yourself here. Sm put up English subtitles to that song b/c it was an English song. They didn't do so for the Korean songs b/c music is supposed to transcends languages. Do you see American artists putting subtitles in every other Language for their international followers? No. People around the world still listen to their music regardless(some even learn the language b/c of it) why? b/c Music is supposed to transcends languages. And that's exactly what sm has been doing this whole time. That's why there are many second generation kpop fans that actually learn & speak Korean or just don't care & listen to the song b/c they like the music. Everyone else putting up subtitles don't have the right to say music transcends language when they are catering to others.
Having subtitles in MVs just encourages not to learn the language b/c it's given to u in a platter, & makes you less focus on the music for what it is. Reminds me of fans who watched Kdramas that whine everytime subs aren't uploaded.Back then companies didn't put subtitles in their MVs,but in this generation companies do that,(they r just capitalizing on what kpop fans used to do which was fans translating)to make more $$$ from views etc..,& who started this??few Small companies. & then bigger companies took the bait.But the thing is a lot these wanting subtitles was just a phase for most of kpop fans,b/c eventually as years went by, they either didn't care for subtitles anymore,or just went ahead & learned the language That's why I would never get how some artists/companies say music transcends languages,but have a literal translation in their MVs...?? I remember years back SNSD Sooyoung said that fans from Europe & the US would tell her that thanks to her they learned Korean.
@@greciacastro9020 thank you for your explanation. but I'm just telling them the reactor that SM puts eng sub for eng song and not doing the same thing to korean song and im not complaining tho. i love the music no matter what. and maybe you should put your comments under the comment section not reply in my comment so it will be read by them bad english sorry
Wait wth in the beginning there’s the traditional war cry called the ‘haka’ which is basically owned by New Zealand culture and I just realized it when I watched this mv again
Loved the song and bopped to it even without the subtitles! Certain parts had English such as, "Bless me, ah choo. Simon says be cool. Don't be such a fool.", "Simon says we're a real vibe killer.", "You think you know it all." and something about "break the rules." Would definitely check out the lyrics as soon as it is available, but NCT 127 are singing about not conforming to what society tells you to do and what not to do; what society THINKS you should be doing according to their own standards, hence, the song title "Simon Says." You are not more valuable and unique by becoming someone else just because friends, co-workers, relatives, outsiders and society in general tell you to change for all the wrong reasons. By doing so, change only becomes conformity and is no longer genuine. Be proud of who you are and never let society or outside circumstances make you think otherwise. Thanks, guys, for the reaction! Subscribed to your channel and liked this video before even watching it - because after all, it is NCT 127. Looking forward to more of your reactions in the future! Keep it up! Let's smash the subscribe buttons, All!
sm don't really do subtitles lol, and surely you guys know that auto generated won't work even its english. it'll just interpret them singing in korean as english so it'll be a bunch of nonsense
It's FINE not to react to music videos without subtitles. It should be all about the music anyway. Music transcends languages. (I personally don't see American artists putting up subtitles in Avery other language for their international followers..right?) If you are still curious, You can look up the English(since that's your language) subtitles later on RUclips that people post or online.
They also said in the song, "don't be such a fool!" It's for the people who hate them and look "We don't mind" cause "NCT we're so sexy!" I really, really agree. And one more thing YOU CAN'T BREAK THEM💚💚💚
It’s funny how there were 127 comments when I came here😂 but pushing that aside, SM doesn’t usually put subtitles on their videos but there are people who make lyric videos with translations so you can just review the video then watch that after
if you want, you could watch the lyric video afterwards to understand some of the lyrics... especially since some bop-worthy parts are in english and its fun to sing along, it sucks that SM doesnt put subtitles
I know this isn’t about NCT 127,but the girl that said “Rambo” she cut her hair, and she looks better than ever. Like she always does. Queen❤️💖💕💘💞💜❣️💗💙💓💝👸💃💇♀️
Subtitles aren’t on every video and auto-generated subtitles don’t usually work because it’s just going based off what it thinks it hears. They’ll be turning Korean into whatever sounds english and you’ll end up getting something totally random and different.
SM usually doesn't give us subtitles, besides half of the song is in English, so try to get what are they saying. Oh by the way hajima or 하지마 means "don't do it"
If you loved their choreography for Simon Says, you should watch their dance practice for Simon Says. Their dance practice for Simon Says is really really good!! The camerawork is very professional and captures their dance moves really well. I personally prefer their Simon Says dance practice over their mv. Their Boss dance practice is really good too. All their dance practices are good!
For those wondering, it's a 'haka' which is a war cry belonging to the Maori (native people of New Zealand), not Spanish.. Other than that, love from NZ!
idk man i don't get why others are up on you for looking for subtitles, i don't really mind because i know it's because you really want to grasp and appreciate what they're going for, what they're trying to say. like based from your other reactions, you really like to look at the bars. i mean, you still appreciated the mv, the dancing etc (which you really should bc this is absolute fire and mayhaps be the Peak NCT 127 sound) but yeah, really no harm done in wanting to understand what they're saying so you can appreciate it more. i hope you searched for the lyrics tho!!! because this song really is deep and honestly *sooo* smart, you'll definitely like it
Honestly, a lot of people forget that this is kpop, it's korean... Not English so you shouldn't be expecting subtitles on mvs because they shouldn't have to. If you really want subtitles that bad then go and look for them online.
Well if you wanna know the lyrics,go check out the lyric videos there will be tons i assure you.MVs dont usually have to have subtitles as a norm just because you dont speak the same language.And honestly,you dont need lyrics to enjoy music.
Yo FO Squad! You guys gotta react to 7th Sense by NCT U! It's one of the hottest R&B-esque vibes of the century. I know you guys will be hyped watching it. Try watching the Performance Version, too. It's definitely more amazing to watch the choreography as a whole. Love the reactions guys! Big fan!
Unfortunately SM don't put subtitles on their artists MV. But even if they don't have a subtitle, y'all like it right? That's why NCT are unique among other gen groups
Yo I just watched all your Kpop reacts with my sister! Two new subscribers for sure! You guys are the real ones! I definitely recommend you guys watch NCT's Black on Black. It has all 18 members in that one so you know it's lit. Keep doing what you're doing! Can't wait for your next video!
PLEASE WATCH MORE NCT VIDEOS they don’t put subtitles on but please react to not elike black on black and watch a guide to nct so you can understand the different units aswell 🥰

i honestly feel NCT *Simon says* is so advanced its for next level generation..its just too good
Please react to *NCTU - 7TH SENSE*
That beginning start was from a thing called a haka, its something that my culture does here in New Zealand
Ruatapuwahine Clarke yessss i knew it at first time. even though i am not from New Zealand i really loved it 👍🏻👍🏻❤
I was withal very shocked by the fact that another piece of cultural music used and portrayed a piece of my culture into theirs it was very astounding.

Laughed so hard at "do u know how to read spanish" 😂😂
"Bless me achoo, Simon says we cool, don't be such a fool" XD these lyrics though
“I better not see a snake bro” I’m SO DeAD 😂😂😂😂😂
The last time I was this early is when SM dropped SIMON SAYS MV
NCT 127 so amazing 💚💚💚 they are the future of Kpop “to the world”.
if you want to know the meaning of this song you guys can check the lyrics btw awesome reaction 😊
Damn, that beat dropped harder than bitcoin value😱 NCT is lit👌🔥🔥🔥
The Hakka at the beginning of this song is fire. It bumps the intensity ASAP
"simon says we real vibe killer"
Wait wth in the beginning there’s the traditional war cry called the ‘haka’ which is basically owned by New Zealand culture and I just realized it when I watched this mv again
SAME AND I WAS LIKE DANG THATS SO FLIPPING COOL ITS IN STRAY KIDS MIRROH ITS SO ARGHH
They need to react to black on black 😂 It's a whole bop and it has all the members of nct
