there's 4 girls with the other members whereas Beomgyu is alone. I can't stop thinking about the tweet I saw saying the mv was "4 guys ditch their girlfriends to comfort their gay friend" because lmaoooo
The rock sound suits them so well. And let's talk about Huening Kai and Taehyun's raspy voices. Like sir. These boys have embraced evry concept they have done, eaten it up and left no crumbs. But personally the chaos chapter concept was my favourite concept they've done, including the sound for the title tracks
Yesssss omg people need to talk about Hueningkai and Taehyun’s vocals more!!! They seriously are out here absolutely carrying every single chorus consistently for like 90% of Txt’s songs and people don’t talk about them enough, especially more recently with their raspy vocals. Taehyun has been getting more appreciation but Kai seriously needs to be recognised for his versatility as well, both of them are so good, dare I say the best in the group, at conveying emotions through their vocals and they do it in such a different way that complements each other so well. They seriously are one of the best vocal duos and deserve so much better. People really don’t realise how well they sing and the growth they have shown.
I agree they are underappreciated and it makes me mad and sad at the same time. Like ,yes Yeojun ,Beomgyu and Soobin are good looking, talented and have good stage presence. But why don't yall appreciate the vocal prodigies , Taehyun and Kai? They are also good looking as hell and talented 😭✋.
i always wince internally when i hear people say that they've found their sound with emo/punk/rock, because i am 100% sure that the next comeback will be something different :'D i, personally, am okay with it. they do fit this genre a lot, but i bet it'll be a couple of albums before they come back to it. chaos chapter is over now, so minisode2 (probably??) will be something brighter, but who knows? i do think they will still have pop-rock songs as b-sides in their future projects. but i loved this era a lot! i will miss it!
Im pretty the sure the switch will be just as dramatic next comeback and Im here for it. I just hope they still have a rock track in their future albums.
The thing about it being a prequel makes so much sense, because *according to twitter theory deep divers" The cast Taehyun has, happened during loser lover, and then continued on to Lovesong. Here is the thing tho, they literally drive off a cliff, and at the end of Lovesong, Yeonjun is all alone, and fans speculated that Yeonjun was wearing a hospital wristband. In conclusion, Yeonjun didn't die this era, but everyone else did. :)
@@bruh-ok5ks I feel like it could be interpreted in many ways, but I found that this would make the most sense between the storyline of the MV's. Yeonjun seems to be in the center of the action if you know what I mean.
I hope people who start loving TXT bc of this genre will still love them after this era, bc TXT doesn't have permanent genre, they love experimenting and exploring different music, cus they know there's a lot more to show. check their other albums to, they're all NO SKIP discography. 😊
I am one of the new MOAs who was attracted to the rock facet (because I love rock and metal deeply) but for that reason I allowed myself to discover more about their music and I discovered that NO, it is not only this genre, no matter what they do, they always find ways to make deep music, lyrics and MVs and, at least for me, I am sure that whatever they do It will always be equally great and I will always want to discover more of them, I will not abandon TXT
What surprised me a lot about this song is that it contains uncensored swear words. This shows that TXT are no longer the sweet teens of their early career. I haven't heard any kpop songs that use the word f**k yet. I have to admit, I like it when Soobin sings 'I f**kin' take it all'. It also raises emotions. I really like this more mature version of TXT.
@@armymydaycaratnctzenatinyaroha its rlly surprising for a grp thats still considered new ish to a certain extent i mean its only been 3 years since their debut
TXT confirmed that all of the girls in the MV represent the fandom "MOA", so BeomGyu's scene with the MOAs in the chatroom also counts as the 'girl'. The entire repackaged album is dedicated specifically to the fandom.
"I will never get used to this opening" I have the exact same thought everytime 😂😂😂😂 the old one was so nice, they should've just kept it and maybe changed the text a little bit to fit the company as it is now but I just miss the bubble sound😭😭
Honestly I love TXT’s musical direction, they literally are constantly getting better and doing new things. I love this sound for them and I hope that they will continue to use it in the future. These past two TT have made me love Taehyun’s voice so much more. And have made me love TXT in general so much more.
I don't think that they'll hold onto this concept for title tracks much longer (even though they might get back to it) but it's totally fine because even now, their B-sides are incredibly versatile. That's what they've always been. So even if their next comeback is bright sounding, I do think that they'll have some pop rock B-sides.
txt seriously have it all. they’re the fourth gen it boys, and i love how they constantly experiment with their sound. i’m so excited to see how they continue to evolve!
There's a girl, but it also places the audience in place of the girl. The way they cut it makes it seem like the boys are interacting with each other, but they're in different settings. I thought Soobin was sitting across Yeonjun at the diner, because of the white top, but I'd have to rewatch.
yeah also there is a part where you can see that yeonjun is arguing with the girl on the car and then they show yeonjun with the boys throwing the money away, so i guess at the end they are together and left the ''girls'', but idk they also said the girls represent moa
I just love how the quality of their music keeps getting better and better and they aren’t afraid to try new things. (I have to give praise to Bighit for that too) and it’s just crazy to me how they can pull off any concept at this point. Like these are the same boys from Crown??! they completely changed image but are still credible and nothing feels forced. I really like the journey they took on
Idk what spell did "I know I love you" cast on me, I instantly started falling in love with TXT's discography. LO$ER= LOVER was the perfect song for this repackage album. As you asked us about our thoughts regarding the same genre/theme that TXT went for this time, I AM NOT MAD AT ALL!!! I think I am finally seeing TXT in a new light and I think this concept really suits them the most
I really liked the idea of the repackage following the theme and sound of the previous album, specially because it was such a short period between the two releases, it felt like an extension to the era with new content.
the fact that there’s a line in one of their songs (i think in “run away”) “it hurts more when i laugh than when i cry” and in the mv beomgyu is laughing through tears after falling of the bike... yeah, it hurts
Oh I was looking forward to PD’s reaction since this song came out !! This song reached to my number 1 top song list of the year and it’s truly is txt’s year. Their dominating this emo punk rock sound and I’m loving it !!
I'm not MOA coz I can't support them physically till now but I can feel and taste about TXT music coz I stan them since their very first debut and especially both I and they are Generation-Z boys. Since CROWN to LO$ER=L♥️VER, they never make me disappointed. Among 4th Gen Kpop male groups, TXT is the most suitable group with Generation-Z lifestyles. This is the reason why I stan them and hope they will keep going this concept with different tastes.
You don't have to be able to support them physically to be a MOA. We accept anyone who loves and respects the boys and their music and keeps coming back for every new release
They represent GenZ. They sing what they feel. As an example, their b-side track "We lost the summer" lyrics say how GenZ feel in this pandemic era. WLTS is the most relatable song of TXT for me. LOVESONG, loser=lover show how hopeless and helpless the youth these days..
They're always exploring other subgenres of pop while still staying true to that bright pop sound of their first two albums, and Im sooo here for it. As for which title track I like more, I enjoy them both but 0x1=Lovesong is still my favorite. It's such a passionate and emotional pop rock ballad.
I was surprised to here that many other artists do their repackages with a different genres/styles of the original album. What the staff did with TXT‘s TCC:FIGHT OR ESCAPE seemed so logical to me. I thought all repackaged albums are like like this 😅
I feel like bight has planned for this group to portray the evolution from boyhood to manhood. I couldn't really get into their earlier songs because it's quite 'young', whereas I'm quite old. I did love the quality of the sound tho, so I was eagerly on the lookout for their next evolution. So glad I was paying attention because IKILY floored me completely. And then listening to that whole album in my bed as the sun was rising sealed the deal for me. With this song, when I'm not listening to it it plays in my head basically all day, every day
They all have someone with them and it represents something GenZ relate too. Both Yeonjun and Soobin represents "financial problem", Beomgyu with "parents disappointments", Taehyun is about "love problem" and Hueningkai with "employment/job". They all represent big problems that are relatable to all and they did good in acting even tho it is their very first intense acting. This TXT era literally grew on me and i will never forget that this kind of TXT exist when they change their genre in the next album T_T
did checked all of their albums after I listened to this when it first came out. I'm so hook up to this kind of vibe! esp. I can hear some instruments which I love coz I'm into band.
Txt is so fascinating to me. Every comeback has been so widely different. Crown was such a bright pop sounding song, then run away had a more magical ethereal sound, then can't you see me was much darker, then we went to blue hour which was very upbeat and an uplifting dance song, now we are at emo/punk rock sound with I Know I love you and LO$ER LOVER. They are an amazing group. One of the very few groups for me who can constantly change up their sound and always pull it off seamlessly
I was legit watching this MV for fun and I was like I'm so excited for PD’s reaction and then *Boop* notification came up about this reaction 😳 Also HK legit looks like the Korean version of Malfoy
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying they’ll probably not come back to this style for a while, but in my opinion this is some of the most they’ve worked on the songs themselves so I think this is a taste of what they want to do themselves as musicians. Up until blue hour it’s been mostly pop but now it’s taken a different turn so I think they’ll continue to try out many different genres and maybe stick around a few they like personally and I think rock is one of them.
after the freeze comeback and now fight or escape i realize how much beomgyu shines in this era i felt so proud and happy bcoz he gets more recognition and exposure, more lines and his vocals is *chefs kiss* the raspyness of tyunnings voice its suits so well like u can feel the whole emotion in the song yeonjun ofc level up his producing and rap skills while soobin's falsetto sends me chills fuck txt gave me this feelings
Honestly, I hope they keep leaning into the emo rock. It sounds so freaking good. I also hope that they keep experimenting with their music because they seem to excel in every genre.
This repackaged title is a GEM, it's so good, it suits the whole chaos chapter, i'm glad TXT tried this concept this time. Can't wait for their next comeback to see what concept they're gg go for. That said, this is totally Beomgyu's era, the acting, the styling, EVERYTHING.
this is the last page of The Chaos Chapter and the next album will be Minisode2 and I'm pretty sure it'll be a different genre cuz y'all know TXT doesn't focus on the same genre every comeback and I will wait for them to comeback soon.
OX1=LOVESONG & LOVER=LOSER are my favorite TT from TXT and in my opinion they’re like the Red Velvet of the 4th Gen, always trying something new. I’m gonna miss this sound ofc but I’m excited for them to explore even more because BigHit isn’t keeping it safe with them and I love it!
I think Lovesong and LoserLover are the perfect combo, they flow so well with each other, the songs and mvs are connected, so I really love that they leaned into the concept a little more for the repackage. The Chaos Chapter had only two parts and the way they compliment each other, it's perfect. I can't say anything more than that lol it's just so pleasing to listen to them back to back < 3 I'm sure their next comeback will be something different because txt is a box full of surprises, but I'm also sure they fit every concept so I can't wait for what else they have in store for us ^^
I love everything about this comeback except that Bighit didn't release the orignal version (uncensored ver) of loser lover on all streaming platforms except YT music
Loser=Lover has completely grown on me! I find that interesting because my favorite song before this cb was Run Away. The fan chant is also just really fun for this song. Theory wise I've seen a lot of MOA speculate that Yeonjun is just daydreaming/hallucinating the other boys and running through memories they have and stories they've told him. Take that for what you will. I also still haven't gotten use to the new intro so there's that >.
I'm here for everything TXT realeses honestly. No single of their songs haven't being of my liking. To be honest before found them I was pretty much an indie rock kind of person so this song it's straight up my alley and it does trigger a lot of memories. At this point I think I personally prefer Lo$er = Lover but that could be because of how much the MV makes me feel. It took me couple of times to stop crying over it and I still find it so beautiful and sad. The coreography it's also one of my favorites for how sharp the movements are you really should see their performance of the song, they are amazing!!
txt have been KILLING it this year for me. i never really gave them attention until lovesong and i'm so glad i finally did. now here i am, pre-ordered both versions of fight or escape with zero regrets, i wholeheartedly loved everything from the freeze album and the repackage. masterpiece of an era
I have to say like... a lot of people are saying this is their 'sound' but can I remind everyone that New Rules was in the minialbum and that's VERY TXT? I don't think they're just gonna stick to emo at all, but I do love this era ngl
They actually used LED screens as the background for the dance sequence. The same technology was used on the disney+ show the mandalorian, if you want to know more about how they shoot using it.
I am just obsessed with this song. Even without a music video, this song is 10/10 for me. The chorus, and the pre-chorus building part just hit different in this song. I loved it.
They already are together PD. This is all happening after their going to school era which is shown before where they are always in school in previous mvs. They all are leading their life in different forms and come together at the end to go to magic island not to drop off a cliff. But yes it can be interpreted as dropping off a cliff too tho.
I don’t think Txt will be keeping this rock/emo concept for their next comeback. They only did the same sound again because it was related to 0X1=LoveSong as its a repackage of that album thats what I think anways. I HAVE LOVED THESE COMEBACKS SO MUCH THO!
This song literally made me become kpop fan and i'm a hardcore moa now, seriously lol And My brother who doesnt listens to kpop even admitted that he like this song.
TXT is coming back with their very 1st japanese Ep "Chaotic Wonderland" on OCT 15, 2021 !! the Ep will include LO$ER=LOVER and MOA DIARY, they will also release a new japanese original song titled "ITO" which will be used as OP of a japan drama..
i think txt always had rock influences in their songs (new rules, runaway, magic island, nap of a star, cant you see me, ghosting, wishlist), but in their freeze and fight or escape era, they really inculcated that sound more into their songs. i'd like to believe that in their next comeback, it will be another fusion of rock with a different genre again
here is my undeveloped theory: loser lover is the prequel as we all know. this is where they are experiencing hardships and feeling the need to run away from their life. they desperately need some form of escape. that is where lovesong comes in. in lovesong they are describing finding an escape from reality. you want to stay in that false reality because of how much you hate your life, you never want to leave that safe place that you've created for yourself. but when you lose yourself in that dream you can no longer function in your actual reality. now this is where i talk about blue hour. i think blue hour is the expectation where lovesong is the reality. blue hour, to my understanding, is about wanting to stay in that perfect moment with your friends. the mv is full of saturated colors and looks like a dream. but in the end it is telling the same story that lovesong is. about escaping from reality. so what the boys(txt) are seeing in the dream they've created is blue hour. but what is actually happening is what we, the audience, is seeing in lovesong. i don't know if this makes sense. in the last scene of loser lover the car drives off a cliff, referencing yeonjun's previous lyric about wanting to jump and spread your wings. i think this is a metaphor for the boys finally escaping to their fake reality where they can be free. the colors turn extremely saturated and it looks like a dream which is why them driving off of a cliff is leading to blue hour. this is where they can be together and be alright. but like i said, this doesn't last. the longer you spend in your false reality, the more you lose yourself. i hope i explained it well. their lyrics to no rules also support my theory.
thank u for reacting to this and this is a short analysis of the mv if u wanna read, it relates to 0x1 lovesong! For LO$ER=LO♡ER, it is a catchy emo pop-punk track that expresses a real-world “loser’s” desire to be a hero and “lover” to his one-and-only. He may have failed in the eyes of the world, but ‘you’ awaken his courage to take his fate into his own hands (hence there is a lot of POV shots). This was from Twitter btw! Also, a lot of moas theorize that this mv was before 0x1 lovesong because this mv showed taehyun’s cast with the V being written on it. Basically it showed all of their struggles as a teen and how they wanted to escape the shitty reality, so they drove off the cliff to their so called ‘magic island’ where they can be together forever (basically end their lives 🥲). BUT Yeonjun (the one at the start of the mv with the car) miraculously survived and had to move in with his parents in 0x1 lovesong. The parents were shown arguing bc they didn’t know what to do with Yeonjun. He was also hospitalized hence the hospital bands in 0x1 lovesong (I think both mentally and physically). So, in 0x1 lovesong yeonjun just imagined all of his friends bc he misses them. This is just a theory, but it all makes sense. It’s so deep and greatly represents the darkness and sadness that come with being part of the youth and being a teen. I read somewhere on Twitter “loser lover is the anthem for Gen Z barreling through their youth, as well as those who might fill adult shoes yet walk in the shadows of a youth they could never have”. Props to bighit and txt for doing something like this bc as corny as it fucking sounds I’m glad txt is a big part of my youth. Also, I know txt will change their concept, it’s txt lol but I love this emo pop rock they’re doing recently. It’s unique and very intriguing.
I love this song so much, right now I definitely prefer this one over I know I love you idk I think the chorus is alot of fun to sing along to and it's stuck in my head all the time and the outfits oof I love watching their stages
ok so my take on the storyline in lovesong and loser lover is that loser lover happened BEFORE lovesong, like a prequel. basically the boys were going through some things in loser lover and decided to run away. yeonjun steals his parents car and idk if u noticed but yeonjun looked a bit nervous before driving away, maybe because he isnt the most experienced driver and u know, hes running away. soobin reassures him and they drive off. though as we can see, they drove off a cliff. it was most likely an accident, maybe caused by yeonjuns not so excellent driving skills but im not sure. basically all of the boys except yeonjun passed away in the accident and that affected him a lot mentally. in lovesong you can see hospital bracelets/bands, i don’t remember exactly what they were but im pretty sure there was one for a psychiatric hospital, meaning that there was clearly shit going on in yeonjuns head. basically what i think is that everything that happened in lovesong happened in yeonjuns imagination, it all happened in his head. its like he cant accept that the boys are dead (maybe cause it was partly his fault?) so he makes up this imaginary world where theyre alive and well. and in that world they decide to run away (again). so yeonjun steals the car (its the same car in both mvs) and they take off. as u know some small accidents happened on the way such as the crash (would also assume this is because of yeonjuns poor driving skills) and the car breaking down afterwards, but none of the boys ever got hurt, as if they were invincible in yeonjuns imagination. then they arrive at a place in the middle of nowhere and thats where they try to start the fire to warm themselves up but the lighter didnt work (they thought) so beomgyu (i think) throws it at the car and it suddenly catches on fire. the boys laugh it off and presumably just hung out and then went to sleep after. but when yeonjun wakes up, hes alone and the car is fine. he seems kinda disoriented and confused as if wondering where everyone went. then maybe all of the puzzle pieces fell together and he realized that everything that happened in lovesong never actually happened. its like everything was a dream. i think because of the boys dying and because of his home situation (his parents were fighting all the time) he kinda used the imaginary boys as a way to cope or forget about his real life where he had to face his problems. another sign that yeonjun was hallucinating/imagining the boys is all the fish you see throughout the lovesong music video that are just floating around everywhere, which wouldn’t happen in real life.
I've been supporting TXT since predebut but I've never been this obsessed with them before. This concept and sound suit them so well and I love how they are showing a new side and how they are using new vocal techniques (Taehyun's raspy voice for example). Also it is so cool how they use the standing mics for the choreo here. I don't know, I just love so much their recent stuff, they seem very confident with this concept.
Till now, I had only listened to Nap of the Star by TXT. I really love that song, I had it on repeat for weeks on end. This past week I saw the clips and maybe heard a few parts of the loser = lover online and thankfully. I properly listened to it and I Know I Love You too. These two songs gave me goosebumps, like literal goosebumps, at so many points. I was also surprised by the emo rock concepts, as the last time I had listened to them, it was a soft lullaby-like song. Anyway, the lyrics are impressive, and their vocals are just....WOW. I am so going to listen to TXT more from now.. they are really talented and are so diverse wrt what they do :-) And thank you PD for your insights as always.. it's so interesting to hear your thoughts on songs and mvs. Hope you are doing well and thank you once again!!
Loser=Lover and 0X1=Lovesong are both so good, I can't decide which I like more! But I think I like loser=Lover a bit more, but I think this preference is one that will depend of my mood and the time being xD Also, Chaos Chapter Era is done now, so I am guessing they will comeback with Minisode 2 (maybe even this year?), and if so, it will totally be a brigther song like Blue Hour, since the purpose of the Minisode series is to show a brighter TXT.
I know alot of people saying that they are into this era with the emo pop rock and TXT found there sound. I have been here since there debut News Flash they are great at every genre thats what makes them different from other groups in my humble opinion. I love the emo pop rock era like alot of people but I want them to keep experimenting with there music thats what makes them stand out in this 4th gen era
been trying to process for a week that the first of the fourth gen bgs to say f*ck in a title track was txt lmao like these are the cat n dog boys ?????
there's 4 girls with the other members whereas Beomgyu is alone. I can't stop thinking about the tweet I saw saying the mv was "4 guys ditch their girlfriends to comfort their gay friend" because lmaoooo

They honestly remind me of shinee. Txt is so versatile and always change styles every comeback.
I don't think that they'll hold onto this concept for title tracks much longer (even though they might get back to it) but it's totally fine because even now, their B-sides are incredibly versatile. That's what they've always been. So even if their next comeback is bright sounding, I do think that they'll have some pop rock B-sides.
i love txt’s entire discography it’s insane how good they are
txt seriously have it all. they’re the fourth gen it boys, and i love how they constantly experiment with their sound. i’m so excited to see how they continue to evolve!
I love the alternative pop rock vibe with the insertion of Yeonjun’s rap
There's a girl, but it also places the audience in place of the girl. The way they cut it makes it seem like the boys are interacting with each other, but they're in different settings. I thought Soobin was sitting across Yeonjun at the diner, because of the white top, but I'd have to rewatch.
yeah also there is a part where you can see that yeonjun is arguing with the girl on the car and then they show yeonjun with the boys throwing the money away, so i guess at the end they are together and left the ''girls'', but idk they also said the girls represent moa
@@evelinramosmiranda619 yeah, I think at the end they found that they needed each other more
@@m.centuries6027 bros before hoes i guess lol
I just love how the quality of their music keeps getting better and better and they aren’t afraid to try new things. (I have to give praise to Bighit for that too) and it’s just crazy to me how they can pull off any concept at this point. Like these are the same boys from Crown??! they completely changed image but are still credible and nothing feels forced. I really like the journey they took on
TXT’s been killing it this year. They honestly do not have any bad title tracks and they keep getting better every comeback.
You're pretty much the only person doing these deep dives into MVs. You're very appreciated in this sea of shallowness, greed and clout.
I feel like txt are always one step ahead I can see a lot of groups in the future doing what txt have already done
Idk what spell did "I know I love you" cast on me, I instantly started falling in love with TXT's discography. LO$ER= LOVER was the perfect song for this repackage album. As you asked us about our thoughts regarding the same genre/theme that TXT went for this time, I AM NOT MAD AT ALL!!! I think I am finally seeing TXT in a new light and I think this concept really suits them the most
I really liked the idea of the repackage following the theme and sound of the previous album, specially because it was such a short period between the two releases, it felt like an extension to the era with new content.
this song is just amazing, txt comebacks never disappoint
I just love everything TXT is doing in this last comebacks, like this rock vibe fits them soooo well and I'm so obsessed
the fact that there’s a line in one of their songs (i think in “run away”) “it hurts more when i laugh than when i cry” and in the mv beomgyu is laughing through tears after falling of the bike... yeah, it hurts
also they are wearing skirts for the performances this comeback and they look so amazing in them 💖
Which just goes to show good styles always come back around, punk/goth boys wore stuff like that in the 80's 😁
Oh I was looking forward to PD’s reaction since this song came out !! This song reached to my number 1 top song list of the year and it’s truly is txt’s year. Their dominating this emo punk rock sound and I’m loving it !!
I'm not MOA coz I can't support them physically till now but I can feel and taste about TXT music coz I stan them since their very first debut and especially both I and they are Generation-Z boys. Since CROWN to LO$ER=L♥️VER, they never make me disappointed. Among 4th Gen Kpop male groups, TXT is the most suitable group with Generation-Z lifestyles. This is the reason why I stan them and hope they will keep going this concept with different tastes.
you dont need to physically buy to call yourself a moa :) some moas cant afford so we just stream the albums on spotify and youtube
You don't have to be able to support them physically to be a MOA. We accept anyone who loves and respects the boys and their music and keeps coming back for every new release
They represent GenZ. They sing what they feel. As an example, their b-side track "We lost the summer" lyrics say how GenZ feel in this pandemic era. WLTS is the most relatable song of TXT for me. LOVESONG, loser=lover show how hopeless and helpless the youth these days..
honestly if this sound becomes their signature sound I wouldn't be mad. they rock the genre so well.
They're always exploring other subgenres of pop while still staying true to that bright pop sound of their first two albums, and Im sooo here for it. As for which title track I like more, I enjoy them both but 0x1=Lovesong is still my favorite. It's such a passionate and emotional pop rock ballad.
FINALLY!
I've been waiting for PD's reaction ever since the song was released.
Now let's see what he has to say about this MASTERPIECE!
Nobody doing like txt right now. I started paying attention to them since blue hour
Me since runaway but they are my fav 4th Gen Boy group right now even tho I was a bit sceptical upon their debut
@@xylypotatohead3947 yes run away is a queen..
TXT is setting the standard, they are just becoming the first at everything they do and I’m loving it
I was surprised to here that many other artists do their repackages with a different genres/styles of the original album.
What the staff did with TXT‘s TCC:FIGHT OR ESCAPE seemed so logical to me. I thought all repackaged albums are like like this 😅
I feel like bight has planned for this group to portray the evolution from boyhood to manhood. I couldn't really get into their earlier songs because it's quite 'young', whereas I'm quite old. I did love the quality of the sound tho, so I was eagerly on the lookout for their next evolution. So glad I was paying attention because IKILY floored me completely. And then listening to that whole album in my bed as the sun was rising sealed the deal for me. With this song, when I'm not listening to it it plays in my head basically all day, every day
this immediately became my favorite txt song 😮💨
They all have someone with them and it represents something GenZ relate too. Both Yeonjun and Soobin represents "financial problem", Beomgyu with "parents disappointments", Taehyun is about "love problem" and Hueningkai with "employment/job". They all represent big problems that are relatable to all and they did good in acting even tho it is their very first intense acting. This TXT era literally grew on me and i will never forget that this kind of TXT exist when they change their genre in the next album T_T
i just gotta say i adore Beomgyu’s emo hair so much
did checked all of their albums after I listened to this when it first came out. I'm so hook up to this kind of vibe! esp. I can hear some instruments which I love coz I'm into band.
Txt is so fascinating to me. Every comeback has been so widely different. Crown was such a bright pop sounding song, then run away had a more magical ethereal sound, then can't you see me was much darker, then we went to blue hour which was very upbeat and an uplifting dance song, now we are at emo/punk rock sound with I Know I love you and LO$ER LOVER. They are an amazing group. One of the very few groups for me who can constantly change up their sound and always pull it off seamlessly
I was legit watching this MV for fun and I was like I'm so excited for PD’s reaction and then *Boop* notification came up about this reaction 😳
Also HK legit looks like the Korean version of Malfoy
YESSS im so happy beomgyu has lot more lines and center time this comeback 🥺 and he fits the concept so well
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying they’ll probably not come back to this style for a while, but in my opinion this is some of the most they’ve worked on the songs themselves so I think this is a taste of what they want to do themselves as musicians. Up until blue hour it’s been mostly pop but now it’s taken a different turn so I think they’ll continue to try out many different genres and maybe stick around a few they like personally and I think rock is one of them.
i luv txt so much before i knew it.. i became a moa out of nowhere
They were born for this kind of concept and genre, I love both of the songs, can't choose hahaha
after the freeze comeback and now fight or escape i realize how much beomgyu shines in this era i felt so proud and happy bcoz he gets more recognition and exposure, more lines and his vocals is *chefs kiss* the raspyness of tyunnings voice its suits so well like u can feel the whole emotion in the song yeonjun ofc level up his producing and rap skills while soobin's falsetto sends me chills fuck txt gave me this feelings
Honestly, I hope they keep leaning into the emo rock. It sounds so freaking good. I also hope that they keep experimenting with their music because they seem to excel in every genre.
This repackaged title is a GEM, it's so good, it suits the whole chaos chapter, i'm glad TXT tried this concept this time. Can't wait for their next comeback to see what concept they're gg go for.
That said, this is totally Beomgyu's era, the acting, the styling, EVERYTHING.
I've watched this music video so many times and I still get chills.
this is the last page of The Chaos Chapter and the next album will be Minisode2 and I'm pretty sure it'll be a different genre cuz y'all know TXT doesn't focus on the same genre every comeback and I will wait for them to comeback soon.
OX1=LOVESONG & LOVER=LOSER are my favorite TT from TXT and in my opinion they’re like the Red Velvet of the 4th Gen, always trying something new. I’m gonna miss this sound ofc but I’m excited for them to explore even more because BigHit isn’t keeping it safe with them and I love it!
i wish they would always do this genre lmaooo it's so good and fits them a lot
I know kpop groups tend to try different concepts every comeback but I really wish that txt stays with this kind of sound, I just love it too much
I think Lovesong and LoserLover are the perfect combo, they flow so well with each other, the songs and mvs are connected, so I really love that they leaned into the concept a little more for the repackage. The Chaos Chapter had only two parts and the way they compliment each other, it's perfect. I can't say anything more than that lol it's just so pleasing to listen to them back to back < 3 I'm sure their next comeback will be something different because txt is a box full of surprises, but I'm also sure they fit every concept so I can't wait for what else they have in store for us ^^
Man I'm loving the reactions we're getting today 😂 they were some of the best that were released in this while.
Taehyun and HK partnering in choruses will always be my favourite thing. Like hello Lovesong, Loser=Lover and Dear Sputnik 😍
I love everything about this comeback except that Bighit didn't release the orignal version (uncensored ver) of loser lover on all streaming platforms except YT music
ME TOO
There was a limited edition "Original Version" of L$=L♡ available on apple music which was uncensored
@@5ft2mikahakkinen I mean it's the digital version of the album
Loser=Lover has completely grown on me! I find that interesting because my favorite song before this cb was Run Away. The fan chant is also just really fun for this song. Theory wise I've seen a lot of MOA speculate that Yeonjun is just daydreaming/hallucinating the other boys and running through memories they have and stories they've told him. Take that for what you will. I also still haven't gotten use to the new intro so there's that >.
I really love this song, this is a stadium song like it's meant to be sung by the crowd
I'm here for everything TXT realeses honestly. No single of their songs haven't being of my liking. To be honest before found them I was pretty much an indie rock kind of person so this song it's straight up my alley and it does trigger a lot of memories. At this point I think I personally prefer Lo$er = Lover but that could be because of how much the MV makes me feel. It took me couple of times to stop crying over it and I still find it so beautiful and sad. The coreography it's also one of my favorites for how sharp the movements are you really should see their performance of the song, they are amazing!!
txt have been KILLING it this year for me. i never really gave them attention until lovesong and i'm so glad i finally did. now here i am, pre-ordered both versions of fight or escape with zero regrets, i wholeheartedly loved everything from the freeze album and the repackage. masterpiece of an era
I have to say like... a lot of people are saying this is their 'sound' but can I remind everyone that New Rules was in the minialbum and that's VERY TXT? I don't think they're just gonna stick to emo at all, but I do love this era ngl
They actually used LED screens as the background for the dance sequence. The same technology was used on the disney+ show the mandalorian, if you want to know more about how they shoot using it.
I am just obsessed with this song.
Even without a music video, this song is 10/10 for me.
The chorus, and the pre-chorus building part just hit different in this song. I loved it.
They already are together PD. This is all happening after their going to school era which is shown before where they are always in school in previous mvs. They all are leading their life in different forms and come together at the end to go to magic island not to drop off a cliff. But yes it can be interpreted as dropping off a cliff too tho.
I don’t think Txt will be keeping this rock/emo concept for their next comeback. They only did the same sound again because it was related to 0X1=LoveSong as its a repackage of that album thats what I think anways. I HAVE LOVED THESE COMEBACKS SO MUCH THO!
This song literally made me become kpop fan and i'm a hardcore moa now, seriously lol
And My brother who doesnt listens to kpop even admitted that he like this song.
TXT is coming back with their very 1st japanese Ep "Chaotic Wonderland" on OCT 15, 2021 !! the Ep will include LO$ER=LOVER and MOA DIARY, they will also release a new japanese original song titled "ITO" which will be used as OP of a japan drama..
I never liked TXT until this song. It's a hit!! I love it!! This song should win awards!
Their latest album truly deserves a daesang
i think txt always had rock influences in their songs (new rules, runaway, magic island, nap of a star, cant you see me, ghosting, wishlist), but in their freeze and fight or escape era, they really inculcated that sound more into their songs. i'd like to believe that in their next comeback, it will be another fusion of rock with a different genre again
as a german this kinda reminds me of Tokio Hotel a band that was especially popular in ~2008 :D haha
dang, i miss them already! they're one of my favorite bands!
@@jrmy__ Ich muss durch den Monsun~~
I have just been introduced to TXT and I am obsessed with this song. I really like that you watch this twice!
here is my undeveloped theory: loser lover is the prequel as we all know. this is where they are experiencing hardships and feeling the need to run away from their life. they desperately need some form of escape. that is where lovesong comes in. in lovesong they are describing finding an escape from reality. you want to stay in that false reality because of how much you hate your life, you never want to leave that safe place that you've created for yourself. but when you lose yourself in that dream you can no longer function in your actual reality. now this is where i talk about blue hour. i think blue hour is the expectation where lovesong is the reality. blue hour, to my understanding, is about wanting to stay in that perfect moment with your friends. the mv is full of saturated colors and looks like a dream. but in the end it is telling the same story that lovesong is. about escaping from reality. so what the boys(txt) are seeing in the dream they've created is blue hour. but what is actually happening is what we, the audience, is seeing in lovesong. i don't know if this makes sense. in the last scene of loser lover the car drives off a cliff, referencing yeonjun's previous lyric about wanting to jump and spread your wings. i think this is a metaphor for the boys finally escaping to their fake reality where they can be free. the colors turn extremely saturated and it looks like a dream which is why them driving off of a cliff is leading to blue hour. this is where they can be together and be alright. but like i said, this doesn't last. the longer you spend in your false reality, the more you lose yourself. i hope i explained it well. their lyrics to no rules also support my theory.
thank u for reacting to this and this is a short analysis of the mv if u wanna read, it relates to 0x1 lovesong!
For LO$ER=LO♡ER, it is a catchy emo pop-punk track that expresses a real-world “loser’s” desire to be a hero and “lover” to his one-and-only. He may have failed in the eyes of the world, but ‘you’ awaken his courage to take his fate into his own hands (hence there is a lot of POV shots). This was from Twitter btw! Also, a lot of moas theorize that this mv was before 0x1 lovesong because this mv showed taehyun’s cast with the V being written on it. Basically it showed all of their struggles as a teen and how they wanted to escape the shitty reality, so they drove off the cliff to their so called ‘magic island’ where they can be together forever (basically end their lives 🥲). BUT Yeonjun (the one at the start of the mv with the car) miraculously survived and had to move in with his parents in 0x1 lovesong. The parents were shown arguing bc they didn’t know what to do with Yeonjun. He was also hospitalized hence the hospital bands in 0x1 lovesong (I think both mentally and physically). So, in 0x1 lovesong yeonjun just imagined all of his friends bc he misses them. This is just a theory, but it all makes sense. It’s so deep and greatly represents the darkness and sadness that come with being part of the youth and being a teen. I read somewhere on Twitter “loser lover is the anthem for Gen Z barreling through their youth, as well as those who might fill adult shoes yet walk in the shadows of a youth they could never have”. Props to bighit and txt for doing something like this bc as corny as it fucking sounds I’m glad txt is a big part of my youth.
Also, I know txt will change their concept, it’s txt lol but I love this emo pop rock they’re doing recently. It’s unique and very intriguing.
I love this song so much, right now I definitely prefer this one over I know I love you
idk I think the chorus is alot of fun to sing along to and it's stuck in my head all the time
and the outfits oof I love watching their stages
“I will never outgrow that phase” SAME omg
this is literally my favourite kpop song ever
When you realize being emo was never a phase.
Every TXT comeback just gets better.
YESS thank u for noticing beomgyu got more lines! so proud of him finally getting what he deserves!
ok so my take on the storyline in lovesong and loser lover is that loser lover happened BEFORE lovesong, like a prequel. basically the boys were going through some things in loser lover and decided to run away. yeonjun steals his parents car and idk if u noticed but yeonjun looked a bit nervous before driving away, maybe because he isnt the most experienced driver and u know, hes running away. soobin reassures him and they drive off. though as we can see, they drove off a cliff. it was most likely an accident, maybe caused by yeonjuns not so excellent driving skills but im not sure. basically all of the boys except yeonjun passed away in the accident and that affected him a lot mentally. in lovesong you can see hospital bracelets/bands, i don’t remember exactly what they were but im pretty sure there was one for a psychiatric hospital, meaning that there was clearly shit going on in yeonjuns head. basically what i think is that everything that happened in lovesong happened in yeonjuns imagination, it all happened in his head. its like he cant accept that the boys are dead (maybe cause it was partly his fault?) so he makes up this imaginary world where theyre alive and well. and in that world they decide to run away (again). so yeonjun steals the car (its the same car in both mvs) and they take off. as u know some small accidents happened on the way such as the crash (would also assume this is because of yeonjuns poor driving skills) and the car breaking down afterwards, but none of the boys ever got hurt, as if they were invincible in yeonjuns imagination. then they arrive at a place in the middle of nowhere and thats where they try to start the fire to warm themselves up but the lighter didnt work (they thought) so beomgyu (i think) throws it at the car and it suddenly catches on fire. the boys laugh it off and presumably just hung out and then went to sleep after. but when yeonjun wakes up, hes alone and the car is fine. he seems kinda disoriented and confused as if wondering where everyone went. then maybe all of the puzzle pieces fell together and he realized that everything that happened in lovesong never actually happened. its like everything was a dream. i think because of the boys dying and because of his home situation (his parents were fighting all the time) he kinda used the imaginary boys as a way to cope or forget about his real life where he had to face his problems. another sign that yeonjun was hallucinating/imagining the boys is all the fish you see throughout the lovesong music video that are just floating around everywhere, which wouldn’t happen in real life.
damn ._.
The prechorus just hits different
Ahh you really need to listen to Frost by them literally the def of rasping in that song
I think he said they did an album listen on his patreon.
I was transported back to my teenage years with this song!
I've been supporting TXT since predebut but I've never been this obsessed with them before. This concept and sound suit them so well and I love how they are showing a new side and how they are using new vocal techniques (Taehyun's raspy voice for example). Also it is so cool how they use the standing mics for the choreo here.
I don't know, I just love so much their recent stuff, they seem very confident with this concept.
Txt just breaking so many standards in kpop
Till now, I had only listened to Nap of the Star by TXT. I really love that song, I had it on repeat for weeks on end. This past week I saw the clips and maybe heard a few parts of the loser = lover online and thankfully. I properly listened to it and I Know I Love You too. These two songs gave me goosebumps, like literal goosebumps, at so many points. I was also surprised by the emo rock concepts, as the last time I had listened to them, it was a soft lullaby-like song. Anyway, the lyrics are impressive, and their vocals are just....WOW. I am so going to listen to TXT more from now.. they are really talented and are so diverse wrt what they do :-)
And thank you PD for your insights as always.. it's so interesting to hear your thoughts on songs and mvs. Hope you are doing well and thank you once again!!
This era gives me 2010 boy band vibes and I'm living for it
this is one of the best concepts in kpop
Loser=Lover and 0X1=Lovesong are both so good, I can't decide which I like more! But I think I like loser=Lover a bit more, but I think this preference is one that will depend of my mood and the time being xD
Also, Chaos Chapter Era is done now, so I am guessing they will comeback with Minisode 2 (maybe even this year?), and if so, it will totally be a brigther song like Blue Hour, since the purpose of the Minisode series is to show a brighter TXT.
I know alot of people saying that they are into this era with the emo pop rock and TXT found there sound. I have been here since there debut News Flash they are great at every genre thats what makes them different from other groups in my humble opinion. I love the emo pop rock era like alot of people but I want them to keep experimenting with there music thats what makes them stand out in this 4th gen era
Just from first listen loser=lover instantly became my fave txt title track
“actor beomgyu” YESSS WE LOVE TO SEE IT
I think this song fit Beomgyu's voice so much!
This sounds so damn good, I know almost nothing about TXT, but this brings me back to high school days
been trying to process for a week that the first of the fourth gen bgs to say f*ck in a title track was txt lmao like these are the cat n dog boys ?????
Both of their love songs are amazing, as is Anti-romantic. TXT are pushing things forward.
