Okay. So maybe we have some research to do. We are open-minded, and BTS is already our favorite Kpop group. So we didn't understand this one song... that's why we look to the comments. Thank you for those that are helpful and not rude 😊
I understand your introduction to BTS was 2/3 of their uplifting English songs, but if you JUST want good vibes music from BTS you will be disappointed, yes they do have happy upbeat songs (even in Korean) that are feel good while still having great lyricism, but most of their discography you will find them talking abt deep, meaningful and at times painful topics as well as a fiction storyline embedded in their music videos, if that’s not what you are looking for I suggest you check out basically almost any other “K-pop” groups. This is why ppl say BTS isn’t K-pop, BTS is so much more than K-pop. But if you just want “bops” easy to listen to where lyrics don’t even matter or are just talking abt a girl or abt love, you’ll find it in other K-pop groups (as well as the actual lazy writing of repetitive non-sensical words/sounds).
In order to understand BTS's music, you have to want to work at it. If you don't have an interest in learning about literature, psychology, and introspection, or don't want to take the time to do research, then move on. BTS is not for. There are hundreds of other musical artists that you can listen to. Listening to songs with catchy beats and simple lyrics that mostly talk about falling in or out of love might be a better path for you to follow. It's okay to like simple songs. Most people do.
@@Andie4Exactly. Nothing against them by any means, it just takes some effort which I get. But instead of assuming, more research would definitely suffice. :)
Thanks for showing interest with BTS and being critical with the lyrics. As you listen to more of their songs, you'll see you can get positive vibes even from the ones that have darker tones, and you'll experience diff literary and musical techniques. I hope you will react to "Come Back to Me" by RM (BTS leader and rapper), it'll come out on May 10. Pre-recorded before he enlisted. Ask any army, RM never disappoints with lyrics. 💜
I have never heard someone say Black Swan has lazy writing just because of a couple of repeated words in the hook 😂 The song is a favorite among the fans literally because of the lyrics and how relatable it is. It’s about a person’s fear of losing their passion. In BTS’ case, their passion for music, but anybody who has a career can relate to this song.
If you don't read books you won't understand any of the song. If you don't read any literature you won't understand any of their music. It has nothing to do with heartbreak or girls. This is inspired by Martha Graham's quote a dancer dies twice and the first death is more painful. It's about losing their passion for their art. And the second layer of the song has to with the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jungs book Map of the Soul which talks about how a person must learn to accept all sides of themselves Persona, Shadow and Ego in order to become whole. They have 2 albums exploring this premise
Dont meant to argue but I don't currently read books anymore and I was able to understand the meaning mainly because I watched the first black swan video and because BTS explained it so I'm just wondering how accurate your first statements are hmmm and the same goes for their other concepts combined with explanation fan videos.
"Lazy writing" - Oh really? How many songs have you written in a language you aren't fluent in or don't speak at all? But that's not even the reason they do it in this song. Repeating words is a literary device that puts emphasis on something. It's called epizeuxis. "bump bump bump" is the sound of the heartbeat referred to in that phrase. "jump jump jump" deepens the sense of depression and dark thoughts that are referenced in the song. Other times they use repetition as something their multinational/multilingual audience can sing along to in the hook - "nah nah nah" and "yeah yeah yeah." "Black Swan" is on the album by BTS called "Map of the Soul: 7." It is inspired by a book about the psychological theories of Carl Jung called "the Map of the Soul" - the persona, the shadow, and the ego. This particular song explores the concept of the "Shadow" - the darker things that exist in everyone but that we hide and/or repress - our fears or our prejudices, for example. In the case of this song, it's the fear of losing one's passion for creating music, or perhaps losing one's ability to perform/sing/dance due to something physical and beyond one's control. The context of this song and this album is that BTS was coming out of a period in which they were all stressed, overwhelmed, overworked, receiving a lot of hate and push-back from all sides (other groups in Korea, the media, the music industry (labels, charts), all while skyrocketing to fame and fortune. They were all feeling and doing much better, but this album and the world tour promoting it was to be their last before members began entering the military. It was released in February 2020. They were to tour until October, then Jin and SUGA planned to enter the military by the end of 2020. In South Korea, there is something called "The 7 Year Curse" - basically it's very difficult for groups to come back after members join the military. When BTS was writing this album, they were tired, but they also knew that after this album and tour they might not be able to return as a group, as hard as they might try and as much as they wanted/intended to...since a lot depends upon the public, over which they have a lot less control. So this song has a very deep, personal meaning for them - what if when we return we have no passion for music/dance/performance? What if when we return we DO have a passion for it all, but we had to sit out too long due to mandatory military service and our fans have moved on? These were the things they were facing when they wrote this - very beautiful, very honest, very vulnerable, very deep - song. Hopefully this serves as a lesson to you that BTS isn't "lazy" or "singing about girls" or whatever other frilly or meaningless thing you are used to with American musicians. Everything they do is well thought out, tied to literature, psychology, social commentary, and more. Even their 3-album series on the topic of "Love" - "Love Yourself: Her," Love Yourself: Tear" and "Love Yourself: Answer" wasn't just a bunch of silly love songs. It was a deep exploration of love - with the central message that you have to love yourself before you can love or be loved by others.
I should note that because of the pandemic, BTS released "Dynamite" and "Butter" and "Permission to Dance" - in English - as a way to cheer up their fans and the general public. The plans I mention above as far as the tour/album promotion all had to be scrapped because the world shut down two weeks before their tour was to have kicked off in Seoul. Their popularity ended up skyrocketing during this period, ironically, and as tough as that entire period was for them (and the rest of the world), I think it also made them rise to a level of fame that made it more likely that they can continue their career as a group after the last members' service is over in 2025. They definitely intend to continue as a group and have promised it to fans repeatedly. They still, however, have lingering concerns that fans will move on while they are gone. We ARMY try to make it very clear to them that we will wait - that they will have their fans and their career when they return. We do that by streaming and buying their music, among other things.
Same… it was actually pretty surprising. Most times newer folks at least just enjoy the beat and visuals if they don’t catch the message. But to say it’s lazy is a wild assumption or claim, especially not from the jump.
What u expect from a guy with “i like her boobs” tshirt. Ofc he wouldn’t comprehend bts’ musicality, they only jamming to boobies tweeking a$$es s*x n drvgs songs, thats why they like blackpink whose only serve skins with zero quality ; noise music
Martha Graham: “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.” In a nutshell this song is about the fear of losing your passion (music, dance, art, etc) BTS is sharing their inner shadows (fears) and how it would affect their life. PS. i will keep checking back for more BTS reaction, till then have a great day.
I actually had to pause to compose myself. BTS has NEVER been lazy with anything in their 10 year career. First, it’s almost never about a girl. Second, this song was written to reflect dancer Martha Graham’s quote, “a dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” BTS is afraid that they may one day lose their passion for music. Third, BTS’ albums are thematic. Black Swan is in the Map of the Soul series. This album series focuses on the psychological concepts of Carl Jung. Jung believed that our psyche consists of our persona, the outward self we show others. The shadow, our fears and doubts. The ego, our dreams and hopes. Black Swam falls in the shadow realm. They are showing us their fears and doubts. Contrary to your “lazy writing” comment, BTS are intelligent people whose music make the fans work at understanding their lyrics. You almost need a PhD in psychology, astrophysics, marine biology, and storytelling to be a fan.
Um, I don't think these guys are going to be impressed by this song being based on Martha Graham's quote! Maybe Graham crackers. Maybe Martha Stewart. I am very old and have learned to keep my mouth shut for fear I'll sound...not smart.
Oriental??? Geez 🙄 You ever listen to the new American rappers?? The mumble rappers? The tik tok rappers? That’s lazy writing. And I can barely understand them, even though they are rapping in English.
@@thecopycatcustomvintagesame, this is why I always come to the comments first. I don’t know this channel and now I know I don’t want to. Thankful fellow ARMYs saved me time 💜
Yup. Dynamite was worse🙃 if that’s even possible… drop naming NorthK president, comparing them. Talking about the lack of facial hair and saying other girlgroup’s lyrics were better lol
Criticism like "lazy writing" often stems from a misunderstanding of the deeper meaning and purpose behind the song. In the case of "Black Swan," repeating words is not indicative of laziness but rather a deliberate literary device known as epizeuxis. This technique is used to put emphasis on something, intensifying its impact on the listener. For instance, when BTS repeats phrases like "bump bump bump" and "jump jump jump," they are not just random repetitions but symbolic representations. "Bump bump bump" mirrors the sound of a heartbeat, conveying the heightened sense of anxiety and fear explored in the song. Similarly, "jump jump jump" deepens the portrayal of depression and dark thoughts, adding layers of complexity to the lyrics. Furthermore, repetition serves another purpose in making the song accessible to BTS's multinational and multilingual audience. Phrases like "nah nah nah" and "yeah yeah yeah" become memorable hooks that fans from diverse backgrounds can easily sing along to, fostering a sense of unity and connection within the fandom. In essence, dismissing "Black Swan" as "lazy writing" overlooks the intricacies of BTS's songwriting and fails to appreciate the depth and intentionality behind their creative choices. It's essential to delve deeper into the song's themes and artistic choices before passing judgment. 💜!Please note that this response is based on a comment by @OT7_DopeOldARMY , and credit goes to them for the initial insights.
@@OT7_DopeOldARMY Hey! Just wanted to drop you a quick note to clear things up. I'm genuinely sorry if there was any confusion earlier! Whether you choose to believe me or not, totally your call. I wanted to tag you, but I couldn't find your comment anymore and then had to head to work. And kind of had forgotten about it😅💜 Your comment really struck a chord with me, and I wanted to share its essence with others, along with some additional insights I had. I usually don't recycle or borrow from others' words, but yours was just too good not to highlight!! Hope this helps clear things up. I'll make sure to give you full credit when I update it. You deserve all the kudos for your input, and I wouldn't dream of taking that away from you! Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.💜
I totally understand that making the leap from BTS' fun upbeat English pop songs to one of their own introspective, poetic, Korean-language songs can be a bit discombobulating!! It's too bad you don't have a bit of a guide here to give you a little heads-up info about the content of the next song you give a listen to Martha Graham is a prolific ballet dancer and choreographer, with a famous quote about how a dancer dies twice, the first death comes when he/she is no longer able physically to dance anymore. It's a difficult loss to accept. This song by BTS is based on that quote, which is why it's titled after a famous Tchaikovsky ballet, "Swan Lake", which has a character called the Black Swan (there's also a famous ballet movie about the ballet staring Natalie Portman and the movie is titled Black Swan, and is a psychological thriller about a woman's drive for perfection in her dance leading to her having a psychotic break) BTS uses Graham's quote as a starting point to analyze their own worries about when their passion for music might fade away and just become 'work'...for them, that would feel like dying their first death The silent ocean floor, the black maw they are jumping into - these are all metaphors for the depression they feel when their music becomes a pressure from the outside instead of a release from within themselves...but the lyrics end with hope, that they will fight against that feeling by looking deeper inside themselves to understand their feelings, know themselves better, and use those feelings as inspiration to make more music I understand your quibble about repetitive words in lyrics, but for us non-Korean BTS fans, these repetitions are a lifesaver!! They're usually the only lyrics we can initially sing along with to feel an even greater connection to the music, but really I think if you look at it objectively there are far fewer repetitive lyrics in any BTS song compared to say, BlackPink, and it's much more in line with western music repetition (how many times does Beyonce say 'If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it" or the Beatles say "yeah, yeah, yeah"?)...I think if you think about it you might admit you only notice it more here because they're the only sounds/words you recognize in a song that's 95% filled with a foreign language. I dunno, just a thought. I hope you check out more BTS! And I'm ready to suggest songs with a bit of an explainer first so you know the gist of the lyrics and what you're getting into ❤️
Lazy writing and talking about a girl 😂 I've never heard anyone say that about Black Swan before. You think this is repetitive do you not listen to current western music at all? The song totally went over your heads. BTS' songs are generally very deep and have a lot of philosophical, cultural or psychological references that you need to watch explanation videos because there are a lot you wouldn't get on your own. Their lyrics are now being displayed in a museum and taught in schools for how brilliant and poetic they are. It's also a major reason why they are who they are. Their lyrics resonate with people, motivate them and has saved many lives. BTS cover all genres and make songs for all moods and tastes. If you want uplifting songs or songs to bop your head to you'll find plenty of those, but don't pretend like you're know it all music experts when you're far from that.
If you want shallow, you're on the wrong address with BTS. They write poetic songs with deep messages, double and sometimes triple meanings, and references to cultural, social, psychological issues. You'll need an explanation video for most of their songs to get all of it. BTS will be reunited mid June 2025. Jin was the first to enlist and he will be back mid June 2024. They have to serve for 1,5 year (22 months for military social service).
I'm glad I read the comments first before giving my time to watch a video. But I gave it a go either way. First time that I saw someone saying that BTS has lazy writing. They have songs based on Carl Jung's theories (he founded analytical psychology by the way). Black Swan its part of that. Black Swan" details the relationship artists have with their craft, comparing the harrowing feeling of loss of love for the craft to death, with lyrics such as "If this can no longer resonate, no longer make my heart vibrate, then like this may be how I die my first death." Not lazy writing but lack of analysis and reading comprehension of your part... OR plain simple closed mind.
You act like understand everything but you don't you should know every song for bts have big meanings most the army know but the other don't so don't speak about something you don't know bts not like American song or other kpop they are something else
Even BTS haters love black swan's lyrics 😂it's based on Carl Jung theory of the shadow of the self. And the meaning is so deep. Can't be understood by small minds. And of course we don't have to talk about the hard beat
Thank you for the reaction. Maybe BTS isn't for you if you aren't open to learning about other cultures and doing a bit of research. It's okay to not be into the majority Korean lyric songs (calling it lazy writing without understanding the context of the song or video) but to be honest, this reaction gives off ignorant vibes and you are going to receive a lot of backlash for it. If you are not interested in learning more or being a bit more open-minded I suggest holding off on reacting to BTS. You are going to offend a lot of people.
Yeah...plus they just listened to like 2 full english songs Dynamite and Butter which they like so when they listened to Black Swam...the comments about it being lazy writing put me off from watching their future BTS Reaction.
I also can't think of anything less American than mandatory military service. Yes, I get that it's sometimes necessary, but to say the USA should require military service for discipline? Is he crazy? That's not the American dream! That's not freedom! A super unamerican suggestion, I'm surprised he even said it, let alone think it's a good idea. :\
when people don't understand poetry, they said it's a lazy writing. The lyric not sooo poetry that you can't understand every single word translated. It's just you don't want to read, that's I call LAZY.. maybe writing about drugs, booty, s*x and all of it not a lazy writing for him. LOL..
I know the channel is called "intoxicated reactions", but may I suggest the guy with the black cap stay sober while reacting. Some of your comments were very ignorant. Although you think you understood what the song was about, you completely missed the meaning because you were so fixated on a couple of repeated words in the hook, instead of paying attention to the lyrics as a whole. Also, why do you think that BTS would "attack us" while they're in the military??! 🤔 BTS members are South Koreans (not North Koreans). When it comes to the military/war United States and South Korea has been allies for 70+ years. So BTS will not be attacking America during their time in the military. 🙄🤣
Lazy writing huh?...i guess they need a 3000 words song😂😂 . BTS discography reflects their life stages. When they were teenagers, they talk about school things, when they were young adults they talk about issues faced as young adults and so on. That's why they can come out with certain theme across their discography. Black Swan was released in 2020 when all of them are adults and at the 7th year mark of their career. Actually the album map of the soul:7 was supposed to be their last album before military but covid happened and they postponed their plans. Their English trilogy is supposed to cheer up people,that's why it's happy poppy. For me, their music regardless when it was released still relevant.
"Black Swan" delves into the fear of losing passion for one's art, expressed through haunting melodies and introspective lyrics. The song's powerful choreography and emotive vocals highlight BTS's ability to convey deep emotions through music, creating a captivating experience that resonates with listeners on a profound level. The music video further amplifies these themes through its captivating visuals and choreography. It portrays the struggle between light and darkness, with the dancers representing the inner conflicts and emotions of the artists. The use of symbolism, such as the mirrors and the shadowy figures, adds depth to the narrative and enhances the viewer's understanding of the song's message. Overall, "Black Swan" is a masterful piece of artistry that delves into the complexities of the creative process and the emotional challenges faced by artists. It invites listeners to confront their fears and embrace the transformative power of art.
I think yall need to stop reacting to BTS. Its clearly yall don't understand where BTS music stands for. Yall not that smart actually to understand and also yall seem not open minded at all. Giving me bad vibes. Anyway yall need to stick to music thats talking about drvgs, woman, s*x and sh**ting. Cause thats not lazy writing at all lol.
Like Suga said, "If you just keep an open mind, you'll find something here you like." I think he might be wrong with these guys. But that's OK, more for us!
These are artists talking about their fear of losing their love for making music. You are the first of dozens of reactors I have come across who has described their lyrics as "lazy writing" and that totally floored me. As someone here already wrote, "bump bump bump" and "jump jump jump" were meant to emphasize deeper emotions. If you are not into deep, meaningful artistry, you will not appreciate BTS. I suggest that you keep an open mind, keep captions open when watching their Korean-English songs, and watch more of their recommended songs. They are beyond kpop so the 3 English songs they made may appeal to your fun, poppy side because they did that during the pandemic to raise everyone's spirits. But if you want songs that evoke emotions and make you think deeper, then continue watching BTS. I may come back to your channel some day to see if you have changed your minds about their "lazy writing".
Not sure how y’all got “about girls and heartbreak” and “lazy writing.” It was kind of shocking a bit because Suga at the beginning after the “Do your thang” part says “My heart no longer beats to the sound of music, maybe that would be my first death. I’ve been always afraid of.” So it was interesting y’all missed that and just went with the most typical assessment not even a minute into the song. The person on the left (Sorry I didn’t catch your name) mentioned Black Swan represents death… Namjoon (guy with purple-ish hair/deep voice) says after Suga’s part at the start of the song that “If the song no longer affects me and doesn’t make my heart vibrate then this would be my first death, but what if the moment’s right know?” Like I get not knowing enough about BTS to understand the message right away but from my observations it seemed more like you guys just didn’t take the time to read it properly and immediately jumped into why you don’t like the chorus without connecting the previous lyrics from before to them to see the picture. But anyway, everyone already gave y’all the breakdown. I just needed to give my 2 cents, hopefully the next videos from now on are a little more open minded and please take your time. I feel like you guys are expecting the music to be generic and typical of a “boy band” but they’re a group of 7 artists who come together as one. I guarantee you if it was lazy writing, I doubt BTS would be where they are now… Good day 💜
This song is about their fear of one day losing their love and passion for music. This song was written during a time when BTS was both physically and mentally exhausted. South Korea's biggest threat is North Korea, not the U.S. South Korea and the U.S. are allies. People should count their blessings that we have enough men and women who volunteer to serve in the military, but just a reminder a draft could easily happen if need be. I could only imagine if military service was mandatory service in the US all the different excuses some men would come up with to not serve. BTS consider it an honor to serve their country and never once tried to dodge their duty as able bodied Korean men even though they definitely deserved an exemption.
The ignorance is hurting my soul. Please define what lazy writing there is? Because they say bump and jump a couple of times? I can think of dozens of songs rn that utilize repeating words in the chorus so stop with that bs
Well, I would call you lazy for not trying to understand the lyrics, the context or asking us further informations . Not asking that you like it as taste is personal. But respectful reaction while giving constructive remarks. Which you did not. You know nothing about their background and why they achieve global success, yet judging upon repetive few words in the song that were used . Let's say it's a lazy reaction? 🙄 👉 Guide to the 7 members BTS by Taylor Mari. A very well put together doc introduction. ARMY is very protective of BTS for very good reasons. They've been through shit and succeded against all odds.
Guys ,You better check out explanation for song and do not draw conclusions based on a few lines of the song according to your own opinion , please. That would be right
Oven floor can refer to the audience. I read an explanation that idols fear their fans sitting silently with their fan sticks turned off so it looks like the bottom of the ocean with no cheering
Yeah I don’t think BTS is for you guys… if you don’t understand the P of Poetry… anyways good luck for your future in YT. I just hope it won’t be in the direction of BTS…..
OMG....I don't even have to look at any other comments to know you've triggered ARMY (BTS fandom) into action. Welcome!!! True ARMY will never degrade reactors, but will try to explain mv......some more "enthusiastically" than others.
Just because of a repeated word you say they are lazy writers? Have you even heard of the discography. They have songs in an album tied with each other to create a story. The album trilogies from school to Map of the soul. And albums connected to another album. No, read the lyrics bro and learn the story of BTS. I recommend you start from the 1st album then will you understand the story. Black Swan is a very deep song and if you don't understand BTS you will never get the metaphor
They are Lazy Reactors...should put more work and effort into learning and researching about the songs before plainly commenting on something they don't know.
@@heystobeatingmymochi78 and also should learn about them as a group and as individuals to see how diverse this group is. As I always say you might not always like a song but you can learn about it and be more respectful.I just didn't like how straight away they say they are lazy writers bec of bumpx3 & jumpx3 like they are not looking at the lyrics at all.That is why I respect reactors who watch twice or more
Not everyone one has seen the movie Black Swan or are looking for deeper meanings when listening to a song mainly because here in the US most songs don’t have it! But that aside it’s about the music! And Black Swan is one of my top favorites! I don’t think you meant disrespect by saying lazy writing! You could have termed it better! BTS Army is very protective of the boys with good reason! But even some go a little overboard! This is your only 3rd song by them and the first two were their all English songs released during pandemic! They were meant to make you feel good! Permission to Dance their only other English song is the same! I’m a 59 years and have been Army since 2018! I love all their music and you’ll find their not usually about loving someone or losing someone! Mainly the topics have more meanings! It’s fun trying to figure them out ! Don’t take a lot of the comments to heart! Keep an open mind and you will find they have really good songs!
This song talk about losing your passion that will be first death for any one hard worker , dancer singer writer teacher ... BTS FOREVER ... ARMY FOREVER
To the man in the black cap: I'm not sure if you're purposely trying to sound ignorant, but that's how you're coming off. Please reread the lyrics or find a video that explains the song. This song is about the fear of losing their love for creating music. About no longer finding inspiration in their art.
Imagine calling Black Swan's lyrics "lazy writting" i laughed so Hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 im sure someone in the comments Will kindly explain to you that its actually the total opposite
Lazy writing? What are YOU looking at? Like you said, if you read, all you need to do is understand. Also, it's fine if you prefer happier music. Although like all humans we all have our ups and downs. This song is them letting us in on their dark sides. Because they write about themselves and their lives. Anyways. I don't think it was right for this song to be recommended to you. You're not ready for this yet.
You didn't see the last scene of the video. BTS often has a false ending. Lots of BTS songs are sad or describe challenges, like depression or societal issues, deep problems to be overcome. The 'girl done left me' is not a BTS topic. BTS is for searchers.
I think everyone has to remember not only are they experiencing this culture for the first time they are also inebriated lol I've seen some crazy journeys as long as the best of ARMY leaves helpful comments because we all know. They always get you lol
I just subscribed following your reaction to "Mic Drop" Fortunately I read your presentation for "Black Swan" Otherwise I would unsubscribe straight away!! Can you imagine how many "millions" of people went to their concerts all over the world? BTS has 74 "BILLION" listens on all platforms...I don't think language is a barrier for BTS! my international ARMY sisters are here to prove it...I am 67 years old and I am a French ARMY and I speak neither Korean nor English!! 🤗💜💜💜
It's not even about BTS its about writers in general. Repeating words is a literary device and some of the greatest lyricsits have done it multiple times. Find me a song where words aren't being repeated like forreal.
The bump bump bump is repeated cause it’s mimicking the sound of your heartbeat… in your ears …as the lyrics say. They are evoking a feeling with words. Now, there are some filler words put in sometimes… but don’t let that blind ya from seein the depth of the story telling… I’m not exaggerating when I say their word play & double meanings & deep lyrics are profound. If honest gut thoughts & feelings is what ya like… BTS. You may even have to go back later & watch the explanation video. Or not. But it’s fascinating! 💜thanks for reacting!!!
How many songs have you written? I thought so! Don’t criticize someone you don’t know anything about! Real reactors would do some research on the songs before reacting to it.
"A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this death is more painful." Martha Graham (choreographer). The song contemplates the time when you come to give up your passion, and how it can feel like a death, because what you do so passionately is ingrained in your identity.
You missed the bars at the start that explained the point of the song. The album explores Jungion psychological concepts of a person's Persona, Shadow and Ego. This is a song about BTS members fear of losing their passion for music and what would that mean to them if it happened right now. I don't think there is any likelihood that South Korea will attack America! They have the constant threat of North Korea on their border, I think that is a bit more worrisome to them. I am 51 year old ARMY from UK. You do get used to reading the lyrics whilst watching and it becomes 2nd nature. You also could watch a section to hear the flow and watch the MV and then go back to read the lyrics or vice versa. Some reactors watch lyric videos first to understand the lyrics then watch the MV. Up to you really. But this was definitely NOT lazy writing, the metaphors help to paint the picture if what they are feeling. Also, if you think a song is about a girl, heartbreak, or romantic relationship, you are 99% of the time wrong with BTS. They are often talking about internal struggles, love for ARMY, or just simply friendship.
I understand why some people might not immediately connect with BTS and their profound lyrics, especially if they're more accustomed to the prevalent use of explicit language in American hip-hop culture. Appreciating BTS's cultural nuances and the depth of their music may require a significant investment of effort if one is interested at all!
It's really hurting my brain how you're talking about a song where you absolutely know nothing about it. That's beyond disrespectful towards the Artists. The song is way deeper than you think it is. It's about being afraid that you will eventually loose your love for music and that is the absolut death for an Artist in the music industry. Maybe I've got it wrong but it feels like you didn't even wanted to give a Korean song a chance bc you're stuck in your englisch speaking bubble. I really hope that you meant it that you want to be open minded towards new Artists.
Oh my god. You did not just say “lazy writing” .. you could hate repetition of words but you need to listen to the melody and the requirements of the song. I mean damn. You could not like one genre but still respect the art. I mean lazy writing just because you heard “pump pump pump” and “jump jump jump jump” that’s kinda superficial listening and not trying to understand. I wish you pay more attention to the lyrics and the meaning behind the song since most of their songs go deeper and have emotional connections. If not then it’s okay for you to not react to them. No hate but you could always be open to things and learning new stuff
Hey guys I just want to say right off the bat, just in case any ARMYs might've missed this, or may have a different opinion from me, even though they shouldn't because this is literally True; MAJORITY, if not all, of their 2015+ Songs, were Never about FEMALES. They changed all that Loooooong Ago, and Since got more introspective and spoke more about Themselves, self-growth and each other as a group, and of course, their love for ARMY the Fandom. So just in case if you ever is like oh did they not have any females or why is there no female this, and female that. Even most of stray kids and 80s, are not talking about a simple romance and such, it's either BROmance, their Fans, and\or introspective Profound self recognition type such, which are uusually ver or quite Emotional. So yeah just keep that in mind. Now Some MOre Recent stuff, Some Solos (Jk, Jm,V /maknae Line) stuff, there's been romantic undertones. But that's about it
This is about losing your passion for what you love the most. And their case about losing their love for music and writing etc. later in the song they talk about getting that back. Then you ended the video before it was over.
Hi, my comment may be late at this point but just want to share them with you nonetheless. The lyrics to this song is about their fear of losing their passion for their art. This is their expression of how they feel about their craft as artists at this point in their careers. So while the repetitive words may seem lazy writing may actually be poetic justice for the artist. Since these men are genuine in conveying their feelings to fans we often realize their true emotions in the music and lyrics they put out. Thank you for giving them a listen. Hope you find something in their discography that you will like 😊.
The fact that the MV is having billions views and won many award and you say it's a lazy writing 😂😂 that is why you need to read and understand something. Also it is about death. A death of a passion a musician have. Please be smart. Im crying because you don't understand about tiny things. Also, not all broken heart song it's about love to a person. Sometimes it's about love to a passion, a love to what u like to do.
Tienen que ver el detrás de cámara y el en vivo en concierto, donde aparecen con abrigo blanco, también está la reacción de los chicos al ver el video por primera vez.
they songs It’s almost never about a girl, Don't interpret things as simple as that, I think for you it would be good to check out BTS Musics Explained, BTS BLACK SWAN Meaning Explained you will really need it
"Black Swan" details the relationship artists have with their craft, comparing the harrowing feeling of loss of love for the craft to death, with lyrics such as "If this can no longer resonate, no longer make my heart vibrate, then like this may be how I die my first death." "A dancer dies twice, and the first death is the more painful" - Martha Graham Quote. This song was inspired by that quote, and by the movie Black Swan. It also covers themes from their Map of the Soul: 7 album and Jungian psychology, the theory of Individuation, (the Shadow, Ego, and Persona). Here are a couple songs from their album, that are nothing like any of the songs you have already listened to. These are BTS songs, but performed by the main songwriters of the group as solo songs. Please react to them. And the lyrics are meaningful.

"Lazy writing" lol i have to pause and say that if your definition of lazy writing involves having different songwriters in and out of their label, including every members themselves, have to write their verses and they have to pick which lyrics and melody suits the song better/fits the topic of the song or which member suits which part of the song better (it's basically a songwriting camp) then i guess it's "lazy writing" lmao
BTS songs are deeper than you think, their every bump, jump, yeah have a different meaning to it so i hope you try to understand the meaning before calling it anything and also you can watch explanation videos if you want to
Everyone who have reacted to BTS songs have pointed out that black swan is the best song,I just don't understand how you say "lazy writing", first understand the lyrics please.
BTS"s music is not for everyone, it's thought provoking. People who are not intellectual enough have a hard time understanding. All their music is based on stories that they have lived through, or their mine set of certain situations in life. Lots of BTS songs are at times a fun, but mostly healing songs. People who get to know the background of these amazing artists understand the messages in the music. So please if you want silly songs BTS is not for you. My first and only view won't waste my time on another reaction. SMH
Lazy writing you two are wrong.I'm 60 year old american women.and stop listen to America music cause there lyric don't tell stories. Black Swain is about Losing passion Just like in the movie black swan You say the lazy lyrics the beat of your heartbeat pump pump pump pump pump That's to me is something that makes it beautiful during the heartbeat speed up when you enjoy something you do That's not lazy writing I have lost all interest in American music More music
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song I love it people who don't understand music,Art, among other things they consider their passion, are going to speak negative but BTS is one of the best group of K POP world wide 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
"Lazy writting"?!! You won't be able to write a song or a verse liked this ! Not in a milion years... And mentioning "war"... Very sad to hear that... I am 54 years old and ARMY for 6 years. Too bad for you that you are so limited ... ☹️ First reactors that didn't like Black Swan and didn't understand... Not subscribing here. Just go and listen some easy, boring music with no substance !
But i like how u r not afraid to tell if u dont like the song u just listen to.. its better than pretending u like it and get hype even tho u dont like it.. just like other reactors doin'.. i dont like them.. i know u can say u like it if u do..and saying u didnt like it if u feelin' not liking it..❤❤ just a real reaction u givin' so im here and im looking forward for more reaction of u..
I'm sorry I don't know your names, but the right to the left of the screen (with the tattoos) seems open-minded about this, even if you don't understand everything, that's ok, you read the comments (army is more then happy to explain), give it another listen or however you wanna go about this... But the guy to the right of the screen seems.....not ready to be open to this at all.
I think it's better you watch a live performance of them. Maybe you would appreciate their energy and performance live. I'd suggest a Medley live concert at osaka or (if you like choreography) Mic Drop and Run BTS live at Busan concert.
Hello I think you should read the lyrics of the song before you see the video, so you can understand it, these song has a deep meaning, but you have to listen with open mind. have a nice day
He's not trying to understand or appreciate... He just wants to criticize, he doesn't put an ounce of effort into something that is not part of his culture, and the subtitles are pretty clear about what the song is about... I don't want to be rude but you are being rude to them...
Lazy writing 😂😂😂😂😂 ...... I'm unsubscribing but will keep on checking for BTS reactions or please just stop reacting to them if you are not open minded.... Just keep listening to Taylor Swift..... BTS doesn't need you ❤❤❤ .... Man i get a lot to say but borahae💜💜💜 BTS is all about love
If you take out all the english parts of the song, you won't say its lazy writing. Maybe you can try writing a song in korean and let us judge if its lazy writing from you 😊
Okay. So maybe we have some research to do. We are open-minded, and BTS is already our favorite Kpop group. So we didn't understand this one song... that's why we look to the comments. Thank you for those that are helpful and not rude 😊
I understand your introduction to BTS was 2/3 of their uplifting English songs, but if you JUST want good vibes music from BTS you will be disappointed, yes they do have happy upbeat songs (even in Korean) that are feel good while still having great lyricism, but most of their discography you will find them talking abt deep, meaningful and at times painful topics as well as a fiction storyline embedded in their music videos, if that’s not what you are looking for I suggest you check out basically almost any other “K-pop” groups. This is why ppl say BTS isn’t K-pop, BTS is so much more than K-pop. But if you just want “bops” easy to listen to where lyrics don’t even matter or are just talking abt a girl or abt love, you’ll find it in other K-pop groups (as well as the actual lazy writing of repetitive non-sensical words/sounds).
In order to understand BTS's music, you have to want to work at it. If you don't have an interest in learning about literature, psychology, and introspection, or don't want to take the time to do research, then move on. BTS is not for. There are hundreds of other musical artists that you can listen to. Listening to songs with catchy beats and simple lyrics that mostly talk about falling in or out of love might be a better path for you to follow. It's okay to like simple songs. Most people do.
@@Andie4Exactly. Nothing against them by any means, it just takes some effort which I get. But instead of assuming, more research would definitely suffice. :)
Thanks for showing interest with BTS and being critical with the lyrics. As you listen to more of their songs, you'll see you can get positive vibes even from the ones that have darker tones, and you'll experience diff literary and musical techniques.
I hope you will react to "Come Back to Me" by RM (BTS leader and rapper), it'll come out on May 10. Pre-recorded before he enlisted. Ask any army, RM never disappoints with lyrics. 💜
@@secretyidentity2833i agree. If you guys are willing to take your time and learn about BTS and their songs...we appreciate you guys.
I have never heard someone say Black Swan has lazy writing just because of a couple of repeated words in the hook 😂 The song is a favorite among the fans literally because of the lyrics and how relatable it is. It’s about a person’s fear of losing their passion. In BTS’ case, their passion for music, but anybody who has a career can relate to this song.
They also said that about baby monster 😭 so they’re def trippin
The funniest thing is that most of the Rap songs have only 2 Verses and the rest is on repeat and they are saying that BTS is lazy 🥲😂
If you don't read books you won't understand any of the song. If you don't read any literature you won't understand any of their music. It has nothing to do with heartbreak or girls. This is inspired by Martha Graham's quote a dancer dies twice and the first death is more painful. It's about losing their passion for their art. And the second layer of the song has to with the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jungs book Map of the Soul which talks about how a person must learn to accept all sides of themselves Persona, Shadow and Ego in order to become whole. They have 2 albums exploring this premise
Dont meant to argue but I don't currently read books anymore and I was able to understand the meaning mainly because I watched the first black swan video and because BTS explained it so I'm just wondering how accurate your first statements are hmmm and the same goes for their other concepts combined with explanation fan videos.
"Lazy writing" - Oh really? How many songs have you written in a language you aren't fluent in or don't speak at all? But that's not even the reason they do it in this song. Repeating words is a literary device that puts emphasis on something. It's called epizeuxis. "bump bump bump" is the sound of the heartbeat referred to in that phrase. "jump jump jump" deepens the sense of depression and dark thoughts that are referenced in the song. Other times they use repetition as something their multinational/multilingual audience can sing along to in the hook - "nah nah nah" and "yeah yeah yeah."
"Black Swan" is on the album by BTS called "Map of the Soul: 7." It is inspired by a book about the psychological theories of Carl Jung called "the Map of the Soul" - the persona, the shadow, and the ego. This particular song explores the concept of the "Shadow" - the darker things that exist in everyone but that we hide and/or repress - our fears or our prejudices, for example. In the case of this song, it's the fear of losing one's passion for creating music, or perhaps losing one's ability to perform/sing/dance due to something physical and beyond one's control. The context of this song and this album is that BTS was coming out of a period in which they were all stressed, overwhelmed, overworked, receiving a lot of hate and push-back from all sides (other groups in Korea, the media, the music industry (labels, charts), all while skyrocketing to fame and fortune. They were all feeling and doing much better, but this album and the world tour promoting it was to be their last before members began entering the military. It was released in February 2020. They were to tour until October, then Jin and SUGA planned to enter the military by the end of 2020. In South Korea, there is something called "The 7 Year Curse" - basically it's very difficult for groups to come back after members join the military. When BTS was writing this album, they were tired, but they also knew that after this album and tour they might not be able to return as a group, as hard as they might try and as much as they wanted/intended to...since a lot depends upon the public, over which they have a lot less control. So this song has a very deep, personal meaning for them - what if when we return we have no passion for music/dance/performance? What if when we return we DO have a passion for it all, but we had to sit out too long due to mandatory military service and our fans have moved on? These were the things they were facing when they wrote this - very beautiful, very honest, very vulnerable, very deep - song.
Hopefully this serves as a lesson to you that BTS isn't "lazy" or "singing about girls" or whatever other frilly or meaningless thing you are used to with American musicians. Everything they do is well thought out, tied to literature, psychology, social commentary, and more. Even their 3-album series on the topic of "Love" - "Love Yourself: Her," Love Yourself: Tear" and "Love Yourself: Answer" wasn't just a bunch of silly love songs. It was a deep exploration of love - with the central message that you have to love yourself before you can love or be loved by others.
I should note that because of the pandemic, BTS released "Dynamite" and "Butter" and "Permission to Dance" - in English - as a way to cheer up their fans and the general public. The plans I mention above as far as the tour/album promotion all had to be scrapped because the world shut down two weeks before their tour was to have kicked off in Seoul. Their popularity ended up skyrocketing during this period, ironically, and as tough as that entire period was for them (and the rest of the world), I think it also made them rise to a level of fame that made it more likely that they can continue their career as a group after the last members' service is over in 2025. They definitely intend to continue as a group and have promised it to fans repeatedly. They still, however, have lingering concerns that fans will move on while they are gone. We ARMY try to make it very clear to them that we will wait - that they will have their fans and their career when they return. We do that by streaming and buying their music, among other things.
You said what I wanted they think like this stupid song from American artists or other kpop so funny
Thank you very well put 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love it!! 💜
Yes and please take it as criticism or new information not hate bcs i have seen some reactors thinking correcting their words is hating on them 💜
This is the very first time ever I hear someone say the songwriting in this song is lazy, it's kinda baffling
Same… it was actually pretty surprising. Most times newer folks at least just enjoy the beat and visuals if they don’t catch the message. But to say it’s lazy is a wild assumption or claim, especially not from the jump.
They dont like this but like “lalalas” and stuff so yeah its better for them to stay in the kpop side.
@@Magicshop7622right, dont like this but liking sheesh by bm and how you like that by bp
What u expect from a guy with “i like her boobs” tshirt. Ofc he wouldn’t comprehend bts’ musicality, they only jamming to boobies tweeking a$$es s*x n drvgs songs, thats why they like blackpink whose only serve skins with zero quality ; noise music
Martha Graham: “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.”
In a nutshell this song is about the fear of losing your passion (music, dance, art, etc) BTS is sharing their inner shadows (fears) and how it would affect their life.
PS. i will keep checking back for more BTS reaction, till then have a great day.
I actually had to pause to compose myself. BTS has NEVER been lazy with anything in their 10 year career.
First, it’s almost never about a girl.
Second, this song was written to reflect dancer Martha Graham’s quote, “a dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.” BTS is afraid that they may one day lose their passion for music.
Third, BTS’ albums are thematic. Black Swan is in the Map of the Soul series. This album series focuses on the psychological concepts of Carl Jung. Jung believed that our psyche consists of our persona, the outward self we show others. The shadow, our fears and doubts. The ego, our dreams and hopes.
Black Swam falls in the shadow realm. They are showing us their fears and doubts.
Contrary to your “lazy writing” comment, BTS are intelligent people whose music make the fans work at understanding their lyrics. You almost need a PhD in psychology, astrophysics, marine biology, and storytelling to be a fan.
Right? They better stay in the ‘kpop’ side they like so much.
Um, I don't think these guys are going to be impressed by this song being based on Martha Graham's quote! Maybe Graham crackers. Maybe Martha Stewart. I am very old and have learned to keep my mouth shut for fear I'll sound...not smart.
This song is too deep for the brother and the white dude, they think it’s about a girl!
Oriental??? Geez 🙄
You ever listen to the new American rappers?? The mumble rappers? The tik tok rappers? That’s lazy writing. And I can barely understand them, even though they are rapping in English.
Wait!! I haven't watched this yet and if they used that antiquated term, I'm not going to bother.
@@thecopycatcustomvintage They did.
@@thecopycatcustomvintagesame, this is why I always come to the comments first. I don’t know this channel and now I know I don’t want to. Thankful fellow ARMYs saved me time 💜
You tell them they just talked with out know what is that about
Yup. Dynamite was worse🙃 if that’s even possible… drop naming NorthK president, comparing them. Talking about the lack of facial hair and saying other girlgroup’s lyrics were better lol
Namjoon: "My music ain't for every body, especially not for you."
Criticism like "lazy writing" often stems from a misunderstanding of the deeper meaning and purpose behind the song. In the case of "Black Swan," repeating words is not indicative of laziness but rather a deliberate literary device known as epizeuxis. This technique is used to put emphasis on something, intensifying its impact on the listener. For instance, when BTS repeats phrases like "bump bump bump" and "jump jump jump," they are not just random repetitions but symbolic representations. "Bump bump bump" mirrors the sound of a heartbeat, conveying the heightened sense of anxiety and fear explored in the song. Similarly, "jump jump jump" deepens the portrayal of depression and dark thoughts, adding layers of complexity to the lyrics.
Furthermore, repetition serves another purpose in making the song accessible to BTS's multinational and multilingual audience. Phrases like "nah nah nah" and "yeah yeah yeah" become memorable hooks that fans from diverse backgrounds can easily sing along to, fostering a sense of unity and connection within the fandom.
In essence, dismissing "Black Swan" as "lazy writing" overlooks the intricacies of BTS's songwriting and fails to appreciate the depth and intentionality behind their creative choices. It's essential to delve deeper into the song's themes and artistic choices before passing judgment.

@@justjennyi it’s all good. I’m glad you liked my comment. 🙂
Spell it out 👏
I totally understand that making the leap from BTS' fun upbeat English pop songs to one of their own introspective, poetic, Korean-language songs can be a bit discombobulating!! It's too bad you don't have a bit of a guide here to give you a little heads-up info about the content of the next song you give a listen to
Martha Graham is a prolific ballet dancer and choreographer, with a famous quote about how a dancer dies twice, the first death comes when he/she is no longer able physically to dance anymore. It's a difficult loss to accept.
This song by BTS is based on that quote, which is why it's titled after a famous Tchaikovsky ballet, "Swan Lake", which has a character called the Black Swan (there's also a famous ballet movie about the ballet staring Natalie Portman and the movie is titled Black Swan, and is a psychological thriller about a woman's drive for perfection in her dance leading to her having a psychotic break)
BTS uses Graham's quote as a starting point to analyze their own worries about when their passion for music might fade away and just become 'work'...for them, that would feel like dying their first death
The silent ocean floor, the black maw they are jumping into - these are all metaphors for the depression they feel when their music becomes a pressure from the outside instead of a release from within themselves...but the lyrics end with hope, that they will fight against that feeling by looking deeper inside themselves to understand their feelings, know themselves better, and use those feelings as inspiration to make more music
I understand your quibble about repetitive words in lyrics, but for us non-Korean BTS fans, these repetitions are a lifesaver!! They're usually the only lyrics we can initially sing along with to feel an even greater connection to the music, but really I think if you look at it objectively there are far fewer repetitive lyrics in any BTS song compared to say, BlackPink, and it's much more in line with western music repetition (how many times does Beyonce say 'If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it" or the Beatles say "yeah, yeah, yeah"?)...I think if you think about it you might admit you only notice it more here because they're the only sounds/words you recognize in a song that's 95% filled with a foreign language. I dunno, just a thought. I hope you check out more BTS!
And I'm ready to suggest songs with a bit of an explainer first so you know the gist of the lyrics and what you're getting into ❤️
Some people are not ready for BTS 💜
Yeah. Lets stop requesting songs to people that do not appreciate it. Its giving them money so nope
Yes! "You find BTS when you most need them" is true for all ages. Maybe these guys will need them when football season ramps up again.
We are not push them to react our bangtan song's!!
Lazy writing and talking about a girl 😂 I've never heard anyone say that about Black Swan before. You think this is repetitive do you not listen to current western music at all? The song totally went over your heads. BTS' songs are generally very deep and have a lot of philosophical, cultural or psychological references that you need to watch explanation videos because there are a lot you wouldn't get on your own. Their lyrics are now being displayed in a museum and taught in schools for how brilliant and poetic they are. It's also a major reason why they are who they are. Their lyrics resonate with people, motivate them and has saved many lives.
BTS cover all genres and make songs for all moods and tastes. If you want uplifting songs or songs to bop your head to you'll find plenty of those, but don't pretend like you're know it all music experts when you're far from that.
If you want shallow, you're on the wrong address with BTS. They write poetic songs with deep messages, double and sometimes triple meanings, and references to cultural, social, psychological issues. You'll need an explanation video for most of their songs to get all of it. BTS will be reunited mid June 2025. Jin was the first to enlist and he will be back mid June 2024. They have to serve for 1,5 year (22 months for military social service).
Shallow is the right word for this 😅😅😅
I’d say mild…. Minimum
Tasteless😊
I'm glad I read the comments first before giving my time to watch a video. But I gave it a go either way.
First time that I saw someone saying that BTS has lazy writing.
They have songs based on Carl Jung's theories (he founded analytical psychology by the way). Black Swan its part of that.
Black Swan" details the relationship artists have with their craft, comparing the harrowing feeling of loss of love for the craft to death, with lyrics such as "If this can no longer resonate, no longer make my heart vibrate, then like this may be how I die my first death."
Not lazy writing but lack of analysis and reading comprehension of your part... OR plain simple closed mind.
You act like understand everything but you don't you should know every song for bts have big meanings most the army know but the other don't so don't speak about something you don't know bts not like American song or other kpop they are something else
Even BTS haters love black swan's lyrics 😂it's based on Carl Jung theory of the shadow of the self. And the meaning is so deep. Can't be understood by small minds. And of course we don't have to talk about the hard beat
Thank you for the reaction. Maybe BTS isn't for you if you aren't open to learning about other cultures and doing a bit of research. It's okay to not be into the majority Korean lyric songs (calling it lazy writing without understanding the context of the song or video) but to be honest, this reaction gives off ignorant vibes and you are going to receive a lot of backlash for it. If you are not interested in learning more or being a bit more open-minded I suggest holding off on reacting to BTS. You are going to offend a lot of people.
THIS 💜
Yeah...plus they just listened to like 2 full english songs Dynamite and Butter which they like so when they listened to Black Swam...the comments about it being lazy writing put me off from watching their future BTS Reaction.
BTS is for smart people 🤷🏻♀️😒🤫
very sure 👏🏻🤭
Yup
Truth
And requires a lot of research
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜 amen
Korean mandatory service is not about discipline or so. It is becuase e their North Korea relation almost war breaking all the time.
Yes mandatory service is about protecting your country from possible threats my country is the same
Thank you. I was about to watch this video but good thing I read the comments first. I'm out
Exactly…. Tmi : Thanks to the us for that i guess🙄
I also can't think of anything less American than mandatory military service. Yes, I get that it's sometimes necessary, but to say the USA should require military service for discipline? Is he crazy? That's not the American dream! That's not freedom! A super unamerican suggestion, I'm surprised he even said it, let alone think it's a good idea. :\
when people don't understand poetry, they said it's a lazy writing. The lyric not sooo poetry that you can't understand every single word translated.
It's just you don't want to read, that's I call LAZY..
maybe writing about drugs, booty, s*x and all of it not a lazy writing for him.
LOL..
This guy is stupid bruh 🙄 like u dont know that a song has a chorus
Yeah just like what’s written on his shirt
I know the channel is called "intoxicated reactions", but may I suggest the guy with the black cap stay sober while reacting. Some of your comments were very ignorant. Although you think you understood what the song was about, you completely missed the meaning because you were so fixated on a couple of repeated words in the hook, instead of paying attention to the lyrics as a whole.
Also, why do you think that BTS would "attack us" while they're in the military??! 🤔 BTS members are South Koreans (not North Koreans). When it comes to the military/war United States and South Korea has been allies for 70+ years. So BTS will not be attacking America during their time in the military. 🙄🤣
Lazy writing huh?...i guess they need a 3000 words song😂😂 .
BTS discography reflects their life stages. When they were teenagers, they talk about school things, when they were young adults they talk about issues faced as young adults and so on. That's why they can come out with certain theme across their discography.
Black Swan was released in 2020 when all of them are adults and at the 7th year mark of their career. Actually the album map of the soul:7 was supposed to be their last album before military but covid happened and they postponed their plans.
Their English trilogy is supposed to cheer up people,that's why it's happy poppy.
For me, their music regardless when it was released still relevant.
"Black Swan" delves into the fear of losing passion for one's art, expressed through haunting melodies and introspective lyrics.
The song's powerful choreography and emotive vocals highlight BTS's ability to convey deep emotions through music, creating a captivating experience that resonates with listeners on a profound level.
The music video further amplifies these themes through its captivating visuals and choreography. It portrays the struggle between light and darkness, with the dancers representing the inner conflicts and emotions of the artists.
The use of symbolism, such as the mirrors and the shadowy figures, adds depth to the narrative and enhances the viewer's understanding of the song's message.
Overall, "Black Swan" is a masterful piece of artistry that delves into the complexities of the creative process and the emotional challenges faced by artists. It invites listeners to confront their fears and embrace the transformative power of art.
I think yall need to stop reacting to BTS. Its clearly yall don't understand where BTS music stands for. Yall not that smart actually to understand and also yall seem not open minded at all. Giving me bad vibes. Anyway yall need to stick to music thats talking about drvgs, woman, s*x and sh**ting. Cause thats not lazy writing at all lol.
Like Suga said, "If you just keep an open mind, you'll find something here you like." I think he might be wrong with these guys. But that's OK, more for us!
Yes so true! Toxic reaction 😀
I love all the BTS songs
They didn't deserve our boys this kind of reaction.
These are artists talking about their fear of losing their love for making music. You are the first of dozens of reactors I have come across who has described their lyrics as "lazy writing" and that totally floored me. As someone here already wrote, "bump bump bump" and "jump jump jump" were meant to emphasize deeper emotions. If you are not into deep, meaningful artistry, you will not appreciate BTS. I suggest that you keep an open mind, keep captions open when watching their Korean-English songs, and watch more of their recommended songs. They are beyond kpop so the 3 English songs they made may appeal to your fun, poppy side because they did that during the pandemic to raise everyone's spirits. But if you want songs that evoke emotions and make you think deeper, then continue watching BTS. I may come back to your channel some day to see if you have changed your minds about their "lazy writing".
I suggest for them to stay in the girlgroups minimal effort lyrics the guy in the left liked so much.
Not sure how y’all got “about girls and heartbreak” and “lazy writing.” It was kind of shocking a bit because Suga at the beginning after the “Do your thang” part says “My heart no longer beats to the sound of music, maybe that would be my first death. I’ve been always afraid of.” So it was interesting y’all missed that and just went with the most typical assessment not even a minute into the song. The person on the left (Sorry I didn’t catch your name) mentioned Black Swan represents death…
Namjoon (guy with purple-ish hair/deep voice) says after Suga’s part at the start of the song that “If the song no longer affects me and doesn’t make my heart vibrate then this would be my first death, but what if the moment’s right know?” Like I get not knowing enough about BTS to understand the message right away but from my observations it seemed more like you guys just didn’t take the time to read it properly and immediately jumped into why you don’t like the chorus without connecting the previous lyrics from before to them to see the picture. But anyway, everyone already gave y’all the breakdown. I just needed to give my 2 cents, hopefully the next videos from now on are a little more open minded and please take your time.
I feel like you guys are expecting the music to be generic and typical of a “boy band” but they’re a group of 7 artists who come together as one. I guarantee you if it was lazy writing, I doubt BTS would be where they are now… Good day 💜
This song is about their fear of one day losing their love and passion for music. This song was written during a time when BTS was both physically and mentally exhausted. South Korea's biggest threat is North Korea, not the U.S. South Korea and the U.S. are allies. People should count their blessings that we have enough men and women who volunteer to serve in the military, but just a reminder a draft could easily happen if need be. I could only imagine if military service was mandatory service in the US all the different excuses some men would come up with to not serve. BTS consider it an honor to serve their country and never once tried to dodge their duty as able bodied Korean men even though they definitely deserved an exemption.
The ignorance is hurting my soul. Please define what lazy writing there is? Because they say bump and jump a couple of times? I can think of dozens of songs rn that utilize repeating words in the chorus so stop with that bs
Well, I would call you lazy for not trying to understand the lyrics, the context or asking us further informations .
Not asking that you like it as taste is personal.
But respectful reaction while giving constructive remarks. Which you did not.
You know nothing about their background and why they achieve global success, yet judging upon repetive few words in the song that were used .
Let's say it's a lazy reaction? 🙄
👉 Guide to the 7 members BTS by Taylor Mari. A very well put together doc introduction.
ARMY is very protective of BTS for very good reasons. They've been through shit and succeded against all odds.
Guys ,You better check out explanation for song and do not draw conclusions based on a few lines of the song according to your own opinion , please. That would be right
Oven floor can refer to the audience. I read an explanation that idols fear their fans sitting silently with their fan sticks turned off so it looks like the bottom of the ocean with no cheering
Yeah I don’t think BTS is for you guys… if you don’t understand the P of Poetry… anyways good luck for your future in YT. I just hope it won’t be in the direction of BTS…..
OMG....I don't even have to look at any other comments to know you've triggered ARMY (BTS fandom) into action. Welcome!!! True ARMY will never degrade reactors, but will try to explain mv......some more "enthusiastically" than others.
Just because of a repeated word you say they are lazy writers?
Have you even heard of the discography. They have songs in an album tied with each other to create a story.
The album trilogies from school to Map of the soul.
And albums connected to another album.
No, read the lyrics bro and learn the story of BTS.
I recommend you start from the 1st album then will you understand the story.
Black Swan is a very deep song and if you don't understand BTS you will never get the metaphor
They are Lazy Reactors...should put more work and effort into learning and researching about the songs before plainly commenting on something they don't know.
@@heystobeatingmymochi78 and also should learn about them as a group and as individuals to see how diverse this group is. As I always say you might not always like a song but you can learn about it and be more respectful.I just didn't like how straight away they say they are lazy writers bec of bumpx3 & jumpx3 like they are not looking at the lyrics at all.That is why I respect reactors who watch twice or more
Not everyone one has seen the movie Black Swan or are looking for deeper meanings when listening to a song mainly because here in the US most songs don’t have it! But that aside it’s about the music! And Black Swan is one of my top favorites! I don’t think you meant disrespect by saying lazy writing! You could have termed it better! BTS Army is very protective of the boys with good reason! But even some go a little overboard! This is your only 3rd song by them and the first two were their all English songs released during pandemic! They were meant to make you feel good! Permission to Dance their only other English song is the same! I’m a 59 years and have been Army since 2018! I love all their music and you’ll find their not usually about loving someone or losing someone! Mainly the topics have more meanings! It’s fun trying to figure them out ! Don’t take a lot of the comments to heart! Keep an open mind and you will find they have really good songs!
When people don't understand poetry, they say it's lazy writing. I think your guy is drunk already.
Martha Graham: “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.”
This song talk about losing your passion that will be first death for any one hard worker , dancer singer writer teacher ...
BTS FOREVER ... ARMY FOREVER
To the man in the black cap: I'm not sure if you're purposely trying to sound ignorant, but that's how you're coming off.
Please reread the lyrics or find a video that explains the song.
This song is about the fear of losing their love for creating music. About no longer finding inspiration in their art.
Imagine calling Black Swan's lyrics "lazy writting" i laughed so Hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 im sure someone in the comments Will kindly explain to you that its actually the total opposite
Lazy writing? What are YOU looking at? Like you said, if you read, all you need to do is understand. Also, it's fine if you prefer happier music. Although like all humans we all have our ups and downs. This song is them letting us in on their dark sides. Because they write about themselves and their lives. Anyways. I don't think it was right for this song to be recommended to you. You're not ready for this yet.
You didn't see the last scene of the video. BTS often has a false ending. Lots of BTS songs are sad or describe challenges, like depression or societal issues, deep problems to be overcome. The 'girl done left me' is not a BTS topic. BTS is for searchers.
I think everyone has to remember not only are they experiencing this culture for the first time they are also inebriated lol I've seen some crazy journeys as long as the best of ARMY leaves helpful comments because we all know. They always get you lol
I just subscribed following your reaction to "Mic Drop" Fortunately I read your presentation for "Black Swan" Otherwise I would unsubscribe straight away!! Can you imagine how many "millions" of people went to their concerts all over the world? BTS has 74 "BILLION" listens on all platforms...I don't think language is a barrier for BTS! my international ARMY sisters are here to prove it...I am 67 years old and I am a French ARMY and I speak neither Korean nor English!! 🤗💜💜💜
It's not even about BTS its about writers in general. Repeating words is a literary device and some of the greatest lyricsits have done it multiple times. Find me a song where words aren't being repeated like forreal.
You really think these guys are remotely familiar with "greatest lyricists?" I'd give them J Cole but doubt they even know HIS discography!
The bump bump bump is repeated cause it’s mimicking the sound of your heartbeat… in your ears …as the lyrics say. They are evoking a feeling with words.
Now, there are some filler words put in sometimes… but don’t let that blind ya from seein the depth of the story telling… I’m not exaggerating when I say their word play & double meanings & deep lyrics are profound. If honest gut thoughts & feelings is what ya like… BTS. You may even have to go back later & watch the explanation video. Or not. But it’s fascinating! 💜thanks for reacting!!!
I'm not smart,I'm Filipino but I Understand what they saying,bts song has storyline has interpretation and explanation,
How many songs have you written? I thought so! Don’t criticize someone you don’t know anything about! Real reactors would do some research on the songs before reacting to it.
tell your friend that he is worrying too much about the tree that he misses the forest.
"A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this death is more painful." Martha Graham (choreographer). The song contemplates the time when you come to give up your passion, and how it can feel like a death, because what you do so passionately is ingrained in your identity.
You missed the bars at the start that explained the point of the song. The album explores Jungion psychological concepts of a person's Persona, Shadow and Ego. This is a song about BTS members fear of losing their passion for music and what would that mean to them if it happened right now.
I don't think there is any likelihood that South Korea will attack America! They have the constant threat of North Korea on their border, I think that is a bit more worrisome to them.
I am 51 year old ARMY from UK. You do get used to reading the lyrics whilst watching and it becomes 2nd nature. You also could watch a section to hear the flow and watch the MV and then go back to read the lyrics or vice versa. Some reactors watch lyric videos first to understand the lyrics then watch the MV. Up to you really. But this was definitely NOT lazy writing, the metaphors help to paint the picture if what they are feeling. Also, if you think a song is about a girl, heartbreak, or romantic relationship, you are 99% of the time wrong with BTS. They are often talking about internal struggles, love for ARMY, or just simply friendship.
It's about a artist's fear of losing his passion for his ART
I understand why some people might not immediately connect with BTS and their profound lyrics, especially if they're more accustomed to the prevalent use of explicit language in American hip-hop culture. Appreciating BTS's cultural nuances and the depth of their music may require a significant investment of effort if one is interested at all!
This is a great song, a beautifully written song. BTS are the hardest working and most talented lyricists I have ever seen.
first learning: BTS is not Kpop, BTS is music and art
It's really hurting my brain how you're talking about a song where you absolutely know nothing about it. That's beyond disrespectful towards the Artists.
The song is way deeper than you think it is.
It's about being afraid that you will eventually loose your love for music and that is the absolut death for an Artist in the music industry.
Maybe I've got it wrong but it feels like you didn't even wanted to give a Korean song a chance bc you're stuck in your englisch speaking bubble. I really hope that you meant it that you want to be open minded towards new Artists.
Eu vivi para ver alguém dizer que a escrita do BTS é preguiçosa. Só dá para rir desse comentário raso 🤣💜
Oh my god. You did not just say “lazy writing” .. you could hate repetition of words but you need to listen to the melody and the requirements of the song. I mean damn. You could not like one genre but still respect the art. I mean lazy writing just because you heard “pump pump pump” and “jump jump jump jump” that’s kinda superficial listening and not trying to understand. I wish you pay more attention to the lyrics and the meaning behind the song since most of their songs go deeper and have emotional connections. If not then it’s okay for you to not react to them. No hate but you could always be open to things and learning new stuff
Hey guys I just want to say right off the bat, just in case any ARMYs might've missed this, or may have a different opinion from me, even though they shouldn't because this is literally True; MAJORITY, if not all, of their 2015+ Songs, were Never about FEMALES. They changed all that Loooooong Ago, and Since got more introspective and spoke more about Themselves, self-growth and each other as a group, and of course, their love for ARMY the Fandom. So just in case if you ever is like oh did they not have any females or why is there no female this, and female that. Even most of stray kids and 80s, are not talking about a simple romance and such, it's either BROmance, their Fans, and\or introspective Profound self recognition type such, which are uusually ver or quite Emotional. So yeah just keep that in mind. Now Some MOre Recent stuff, Some Solos (Jk, Jm,V /maknae Line) stuff, there's been romantic undertones. But that's about it
This is about losing your passion for what you love the most. And their case about losing their love for music and writing etc. later in the song they talk about getting that back.
Then you ended the video before it was over.
Hi, my comment may be late at this point but just want to share them with you nonetheless. The lyrics to this song is about their fear of losing their passion for their art. This is their expression of how they feel about their craft as artists at this point in their careers. So while the repetitive words may seem lazy writing may actually be poetic justice for the artist.
Since these men are genuine in conveying their feelings to fans we often realize their true emotions in the music and lyrics they put out.
Thank you for giving them a listen. Hope you find something in their discography that you will like 😊.
The fact that the MV is having billions views and won many award and you say it's a lazy writing 😂😂 that is why you need to read and understand something. Also it is about death. A death of a passion a musician have. Please be smart. Im crying because you don't understand about tiny things. Also, not all broken heart song it's about love to a person. Sometimes it's about love to a passion, a love to what u like to do.
Lazy ...OMG ....bts never been lazy in 11 years....be nicer guys ....
Tienen que ver el detrás de cámara y el en vivo en concierto, donde aparecen con abrigo blanco, también está la reacción de los chicos al ver el video por primera vez.
they songs It’s almost never about a girl, Don't interpret things as simple as that, I think for you it would be good to check out BTS Musics Explained, BTS BLACK SWAN Meaning Explained you will really need it
I had a feeling you guys might not like this one so much lol😂 They’re talking about artistic burnout
Omg. You missed the end of the video. Please Always watch to the very end
Thinking the repetition of words is alazy writing is definitely something lmfao
"Black Swan" details the relationship artists have with their craft, comparing the harrowing feeling of loss of love for the craft to death, with lyrics such as "If this can no longer resonate, no longer make my heart vibrate, then like this may be how I die my first death."
"A dancer dies twice, and the first death is the more painful" - Martha Graham Quote. This song was inspired by that quote, and by the movie Black Swan. It also covers themes from their Map of the Soul: 7 album and Jungian psychology, the theory of Individuation, (the Shadow, Ego, and Persona).
Here are a couple songs from their album, that are nothing like any of the songs you have already listened to. These are BTS songs, but performed by the main songwriters of the group as solo songs. Please react to them. And the lyrics are meaningful.

"Lazy writing" lol i have to pause and say that if your definition of lazy writing involves having different songwriters in and out of their label, including every members themselves, have to write their verses and they have to pick which lyrics and melody suits the song better/fits the topic of the song or which member suits which part of the song better (it's basically a songwriting camp) then i guess it's "lazy writing" lmao
BTS songs are deeper than you think, their every bump, jump, yeah have a different meaning to it so i hope you try to understand the meaning before calling it anything and also you can watch explanation videos if you want to
Everyone who have reacted to BTS songs have pointed out that black swan is the best song,I just don't understand how you say "lazy writing", first understand the lyrics please.
BTS"s music is not for everyone, it's thought provoking. People who are not intellectual enough have a hard time understanding. All their music is based on stories that they have lived through, or their mine set of certain situations in life. Lots of BTS songs are at times a fun, but mostly healing songs. People who get to know the background of these amazing artists understand the messages in the music. So please if you want silly songs BTS is not for you. My first and only view won't waste my time on another reaction. SMH
“Escrita preguiçosa” ?? nunca na face da terra
You guys should checkout Jungkook's Standing Next To You. He also release a version with Usher. Jungkook is a member of BTS.
This song is amazing.
Lazy writing you two are wrong.I'm 60 year old american women.and stop listen to America music cause there lyric don't tell stories. Black Swain is about Losing passion Just like in the movie black swan You say the lazy lyrics the beat of your heartbeat pump pump pump pump pump That's to me is something that makes it beautiful during the heartbeat speed up when you enjoy something you do That's not lazy writing I have lost all interest in American music More music
Just an FYI, the song wasn't over. Army will come after you for not finishing the songs.
alr the guy with the cap really doesn't know what music is, i mean if a song doesn't have a hook how is that a song?🧐
BTS is anything BUT lazy writing. I got hooked to BTS because of their songs which are full of meanings
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song I love it people who don't understand music,Art, among other things they consider their passion, are going to speak negative but BTS is one of the best group of K POP world wide 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Whhhhhaaaaattttt lazy writing, BTS is the best composers their lyrics are all relevant, BTS is the most famous in the whole world
"Lazy writting"?!! You won't be able to write a song or a verse liked this ! Not in a milion years... And mentioning "war"... Very sad to hear that... I am 54 years old and ARMY for 6 years. Too bad for you that you are so limited ... ☹️ First reactors that didn't like Black Swan and didn't understand... Not subscribing here. Just go and listen some easy, boring music with no substance !
But i like how u r not afraid to tell if u dont like the song u just listen to.. its better than pretending u like it and get hype even tho u dont like it.. just like other reactors doin'.. i dont like them.. i know u can say u like it if u do..and saying u didnt like it if u feelin' not liking it..❤❤ just a real reaction u givin' so im here and im looking forward for more reaction of u..
I'm sorry I don't know your names, but the right to the left of the screen (with the tattoos) seems open-minded about this, even if you don't understand everything, that's ok, you read the comments (army is more then happy to explain), give it another listen or however you wanna go about this... But the guy to the right of the screen seems.....not ready to be open to this at all.
Maybe you should watch the explanation video from this song first before you move on to the next song...
I think it's better you watch a live performance of them. Maybe you would appreciate their energy and performance live. I'd suggest a Medley live concert at osaka or (if you like choreography) Mic Drop and Run BTS live at Busan concert.
Hello I think you should read the lyrics of the song before you see the video, so you can understand it, these song has a deep meaning, but you have to listen with open mind. have a nice day
He's not trying to understand or appreciate... He just wants to criticize, he doesn't put an ounce of effort into something that is not part of his culture, and the subtitles are pretty clear about what the song is about... I don't want to be rude but you are being rude to them...
Dude with cap...just listen and learn about the song because simply judging the song and keep saying lazy writing...lazy writing...hmm 🙄
Thanks for the video❤
Be constructive, every song has a hook. One of the best with a hook, Michael Jackson.
Lazy writing 😂😂😂😂😂 ...... I'm unsubscribing but will keep on checking for BTS reactions or please just stop reacting to them if you are not open minded.... Just keep listening to Taylor Swift..... BTS doesn't need you ❤❤❤ .... Man i get a lot to say but borahae💜💜💜 BTS is all about love
If you take out all the english parts of the song, you won't say its lazy writing. Maybe you can try writing a song in korean and let us judge if its lazy writing from you 😊
You gotta check out bts DNA it's absolutely incredible.
The lyrics says it all
💙🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷❤ mi tema favorito! 😊
React to "Mic Drop" plz💜
Not heartbreak, they are singing about depression, losing a sense of the things that drive you forward in life.
