ok so let me explain both supernova and armageddon. starting with supernova. the music video for this song serves as a visual manifesto of empowerment, echoing the album’s slogan, “I define myself.” each member possesses an “otherworldly power." karina exhibits super strength. ningning controls fire. winter floats in the air. giselle manipulates time loops. the lyrics compare the beginning of an event that opens a door to another dimension to a supernova. this metaphor symbolizes the beginning of a big explosion within aespa, signifying their powerful emergence and transformation. i know a lot of people will say the girls were trying to ruin giselles birthday in the video but that is simply not correct. the aespa members are not trying to ruin giselle’s birthday in the “supernova” music video. the video is a celebration of empowerment and individuality, showcasing each member’s unique abilities and strengths. it’s more about the group’s unity and their powerful emergence, much like a supernova, rather than any negative interactions between the members. the concept of the music video aligns with aespa’s overarching narrative of their virtual counterparts and the interconnectedness between different realms, emphasizing their collective power and identity. as for armageddon. according to the music video’s director and aespa members themselves, “armageddon” marks the start of aespa’s second era. in this era, the members encounter their “evil selves” in different worlds and universes, leading them to define themselves. the motto of this era is “Only I Can Define Myself,” which also appears in the song’s lyrics. this theme emphasizes individuality, self-awareness, and the power to shape one’s identity. the video portrays aespa members meeting their alternate versions, representing different facets of their personalities. each member confronts their inner conflicts, fears, and strengths, creating a parallel between the real world and the otherworldly dimension. the concept of completion emerges as they lead every part of themselves, embracing flaws and strengths alike. the drop in the bridge signifies a moment of transformation and self-realization. the title “armageddon” suggests both an end and a beginning-a cosmic collision of forces. THIS IS THE MEANING NOT THE LORE ! im not going to dive into the lord because thats a whole can of worms im not ready to open. i see a lot of people in different videos saying giselle is alien as well. she's not, spoiler alert. LOL. the girls in black are pretty much their alters. winters has wings. the girl launching bats is her alter ego. NONE of them are aliens, just have superhuman abilities and are considered "otherwordly" at best. theyre currently being referred to as "supernovas" "superhumans" and "advanced humans."
Armageddon is probably AOTY for girl groups this year.. and the Armageddon Song, a serious SOTY contender... to me, it's a win, as of now..... and this is said by an 100% Neverland! Damn.... I was really hopeful for 2, but this release fxkd my brains out. Lol
This is aespa's 1st full album with two title tracks!! Armageddon marks the start of their new era telling a story about aespa's dopplegangers or more specifically, their "authenthic selves". They uploaded some of the lore on their website and previous short MV's before the release of Supernova. Basically, they're supernovas - dying stars that hit the earth. There are different weather reports on their website where the news are talking about drastic weather changes and documentation of a strange star hitting a field where the armageddon symbol appears and starts spreading. Fans theorise that Winter, Karina and Ningning are humans that start being affected by the supernova and these strange "beings", while Giselle is believed to already be an alien (you can see in their individual teasers for Armageddon, Giselle's logo is blue while everyone else's is green). This plays a big part in Armageddon. The MV shows how each of them get taken by their "superbeing" forms, except for Giselle (even at the start of the MV, she's already not "authentic" and glitches in her human form). We first see Giselle's superbeing alter ego (as said in the lyrics) launch bats at the girls - she's the only one already alien without it taking control of her human part. The bats hit a "freezer" or what I assume is a glass cage, where Karina is being held and starts emerging from "the other side". Ningning is the first one that's actually affected from what I gather - the bathroom scene where there's blood splattered among the walls, then her superbeing form appears. After that we see Winter getting into a fight with herself and her getting affected by her alien form (at the end of the MV we see her becoming one with her doppleganger and fusing with the eye). Ningning then sees her superbeing self (the huge being in the mist) and caught in a panic, a worm type of creature invades her and gets in her eye (her symbol appears) - she's already gone and fused with her alter ego. Giselle in the midst of all this is controllig everything. And after Ningning's and Winter's superbeings fuse with them, we see a huge hand suck Karina into the rift (her hand as we later see) - she also awakens her superbeing. At the end, we see all 4 of our girls fused with their alter egos, embracing their alien side (the lyrics state "You and me, even more flawless" and "At last, complete myself"). They have succumbed to their superbeings and have destroyed the planet - Armageddon has destroyed everything and they're in the middle of it.
i really don’t tbink ANYTHING can top armageddon for me, it’s already soty for me and i literally never use that term so early in the year 😭 when it came out i was blown away and it was all i listened to for DAYSSS. im like you, i literally thought drama was the best aespa song ever and i thought nothing would ever top it for me and then i heard armageddon and it took me a few days to accept the fact that it topped drama for me…. ITS INSANE
I'm a bit disappointed that you don't like the bridge in Armageddon, because to me that's the highlight of the song and one of the best bridges Aespa has ever done.
Giselle started actually twerking for "throw it back x3" at concerts lmao its INSANE like YES MOTHER YES: ruclips.net/user/shortsLBuFB5x124g (the 2nd clip is from Melbourne 2024 & I know cos I was THERE, holy crap Gigi(she was also a great MC lol))
