I think you nailed why Stray Kids instantly became my favorite. I prefer rock music too, but I love Stray Kids. They are definitely harder, with a rock edge. That they produce their own stuff is awesome. The live Kingdom performance of God's Ddu Ddu Ddu (a BlackPink mashup) is amazing, highly recommend. Stray Kids just got signed to a major US label and are about to have a comeback, so good time to become a stan. They've all been hiding their hair colors lately. Deep voice at the beginning is Felix. He and Bang Chan (in the jean jacket with the baseball bat) are both Aussies.
That’s awesome to hear about them signing to a US label. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more and more of them 👍🏽
This song is a clap back for haters …. The cheese/sticky notes represent haters comments…. The numbers that flash represent all the views continuing to grow…. With the haters help! Basically “Yo! Ur hate still giving us views so CHEESE!” They are called construction music and they embrace it.
Some of the lyrics are from a few other other songs like Side Effects and Gods Menu…. Which are Some of their most criticized songs…. Yet most effective!
The entire Noesy album is a middle finger to haters Skz Style! They are iconic!Love ur reactions and so happy ur back with them!
I love that it’s a clap back! Makes me love the song even more.
I love your Rock group artist's perspective. You appreciate how Stray kids's evolve and push themselves from cookie cutter Kpop style without fear.
It’s inspiring to see. Truly.
Ok so names:
2:02 is Felix, one of the Australians
2:07 Hyunjin dancing king
2:15 Seungmin vocal king
2:23 Changbin part of the producer unti
2:31 Han part of the producer unit
3:16 I.N the youngest
4:14 Bang Chan, the leader and other Australian, plus producer
4:30 Lee Know my bias lol, dance leader
Thank you for doing this!!
My teenager is screaming so much right now!! I can't believe my teenage idol is reacting to my adult idols. I feel very happy, thanks for reacting to SKZ and Being my hero ♡
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Me too! I freaked out on his first skz reaction 😂
There’s fun fact and reason behind why when u saw skz music they got rock influences in it. It’s because one of the members that named Han Jisung is their own producer of their songs and Han Jisung’s dad used to play in rock band. He said his dad told him that his talent is coming from his dad. That’s why he loves rock music, he can play guitar and wrote his own music because his dad told him to. Stray Kids is one of the true artists out there, they are very passionate about music
I wasn't used to kpop but SKZ just enchanted me a few years ago.
PS: I've been a big fan of SWS since 2014 so it's mind blowing to me watching you reacting to SKZ.
Big love from ARG 🇦🇷 ❤
Thank you for being a fan of SWS since 2014! Very much appreciated. I miss Argentina very much
@@NickMartinIsMyName We miss you!!! I went to your shows in buenos aires and had a blast 👏 Can't wait to see you again
You're absolutely right about Kpop artists not confining themselves to one genre, and as a long time Kpop-fan as well as a long time rock/metalhead, I can really see why so many people are surprised by the diversity in kpop. It's just not the norm anymore, and I even remember artists like Linkin Park getting severe backlash for experimenting with genres of music. The cool thing about kpop artists like Stray Kids is that despite their discography oscillating wildly between genres, they still manage to have very clear musical identities. Like, I can hear a Stray Kids song and just KNOW that it belongs to them. It's especially cool because Stray Kids make their own music (and have done so since before their debut), so their discography is basically a musical diary of their lives up to this point. They're painfully honest about everything, and it's just nice to see that reflected in their music. I feel like they have that in common with rock musicians.
Anyway I'll stop rambling now, thank you so much for a wonderful reaction, Nick!! Always a pleasure to see musicians I respect react to my favourite boys Stray Kids 😁 Would love to see you react to Awaken, My Side and District 9 by Stray Kids as well!! All these songs have strong rock influences that I think you might enjoy 😉
5:25 "God, that was sick!"
Actually, SSICK is a different song on the same album... 😉 There's no video, but it _is_ another banger. 😎
🤣 I will definitely check it out
Straykids makes songs, unique 👌
Dude! as you are coming from a Rock background I highly highly recommend listening to Stray Kids song ‘Awaken’ it’s an older b-side so there isn’t an MV but it is heavily rock influenced and such a great song. Even if you don’t react to it and just give it a listen on your own time.
Absolutely; Awaken remains one of my favourite SKZ songs. Apparently they don't often do it live, so I was absolutely made up when they did it in London in 2019... 😁
I’ve got Awaken on my list! I’ll do a reaction video to it
oh my god nick u made my day-
And the guy with the blond hair that u liked is Felix!
I’m really digging Felix 👍🏽
you don't know how happy this made me, thank you for appreciating their hard work and pointing out the different colour stray kids brings to kpop. it means a lot especially coming from an artist like yourself! thank you nick, i hope you keep reacting to their stuff in the future. loved the video
Thank you for the kind words, Tara 🙏🏼
There is so much that this group has taught me. They taught me to be fearless about being myself and I couldn’t be more thankful for that. I highly recommend checking out the song Mixtape#1 because it has so much meaning.
I think you also got it right by saying that they are outside the box because in the kpop community, stray kids is looked at as “noise makers” but they are SO far from that.
Nice video, Nick! Can’t wait for another! :)
Oh, no... they _are_ very much "noise makers". And they've _embraced_ it. 😁
the name of the first guy is Felix. Good video, Nick! :D
SKZ do always bring it! They are definitely more than just pop songs. Love this song since it's calling out all those that rag on their music yet keep looking at them. Essentially it's a play on the whole 'take a picture/it'll last longer' since you keep staring; CHEESE! It's so clever
So glad to see you back. Always enjoy your reactions. Hope you continue to react to Stray Kids. My favorite Stray Kids song…Double Knot. They also have an English version of it. Same with Slump that I really love.
Definitely going to check out Double Knot!
Aaah those are my fav songs too. I love watching their first take version of Slump.
You should check skz-god's menu too!!
Also their debut song, district 9 as It has a rock vibe to it,also I feel that u'd enjoy victory song as well,so yeah.
Thnks for ur reaction,I always love your feed back and how u put words as u're in the field as well.
Thank you very much for the recommendations and for watching my videos! 🙏🏼
I think three months is something like nine months in RUclips years... glad you came back 'round!
Thank you for reacting to this one, agreed it's catchy. Enjoyed your perspective.
hi!!
the guy you like is Felix
some more rock inspired songs are Yayaya, Awaken, and Rock
Added those songs to my list! 👍🏽 Loving Felix.
With Stray Kids, their origin and concept alone makes their branding more flexible yet centered. Their album NOEASY proves that because they could go hard like Cheese, but also produce ballads like Gone Away. despite that, they sound like themselves. it's still "Stray Kids" without sounding so redundant and overly familiar to their other songs as if it were recycled. I think, unlike most kpop groups, what gives Stray Kids an edge is their creative freedom and authenticity. kodus to their company giving that freedom, and the authenticity coming from the sincerity poured into the lyrics because the members wrote it themselves.
Still cant believe that youre reacting to skz, and loving it!! Thank you so much, is like my two world colliding in the best ways.
Never cross my mind that i will witness SWS (my fav band) reacting to my fav kpop group. I never grew out of my emo phase really and i still listen to sws, ptv, of&m, drugs & all those metalcore posthardcore bands
Just as you say, seeing our kpop idols explore these big box called music is amazing. Not only the variety of styles they show, even seeing them grow in personal terms also feels really good. Stray Kids came to me as Sleeping With Sirens, as a healer of pain and it has definitely brightened my life
Before I talk about Stray Kids, I can’t tell you enough how STOKED I am to see you guys and everyone else at the When We Were Young Festival! Idk what to expect but I’m manifesting King For A Day lol like if i see Kellin & your cousins and their band on a single stage that’s it. I’m done for. lol
Also! I LOVE that you’re continuing your skz journey, thank you so much for your reaction. Your reactions are so refreshing and interesting seeing everything from a musician’s stand point especially as someone in the rock community. Can’t wait to see more, if you ever decide to watch a live skz performance I think you would like God’s Ddu-du Ddu-du. It was a special performance on a competition show early last yr, & they mashed up BLACKPINK’s Ddu-du Ddu-du and God’s Menu. The performance is Deadpool themed and had recognition from Ryan Reynolds himself and formed a friendship between Stray Kids leader, Bang Chan and Ryan Reynolds.
Omg. Mr. Martin himself 🤘 He nailed it that's why when I chose a group to stan on Kpop it should be Straykids because they are different
Once again really enjoyed hearing your comments on a Stray Kids song and MV.
Your take on why it is complicated to know who is who was very interesting to me and very true. The (only) constant thing about kpop is the groups evolving their skills and growing into themselves, their appearance changing every few months and their concepts and genres too. They keep an essence of themselves going, something recognizable beyond their voices.
It would be interesting to see your reaction and hear comments on more groups and/ or soloists. Especially artists that are seemingly further away from the Rock genre like a reaction to IU - Love poem or Mamamoo - HIP or Hoppipolla - Your Ocean.
A reaction to a Stray Kids song with a totally different feel than Cheese or Thunderous or Gods Menu would be very interesting as well. They have song more Ballad style songs like: The View, Mixtape: OH or the cover of 기도 (I'll Be Your Man) they did on Kingdom.
Love your reaction to Cheese.
I recommend one of their subunit songs Red Lights. The guitar is so gritty and the MV is a work of art.
I love some gritty guitar. I’ll definitely check it out!
This! The bass and brass, the production was so good
Hi Nick!
I recommend you the videos of all the presentations that Stray Kids did in the program Kingdom: Legendary War (spoiler: SKZ won the crown).
Because of the musical arrangements they did to the songs, the choreographies, and the amazing performance.
I know you're going to love it!
I’ll definitely add that to my list!
Thank you for checking out and sharing your thoughts on Stray Kids' music! It's interesting hearing from another artist's perspective :)
Thank you all for checking out my video! Let me know more songs to check out.
Also, I launched my own coffee company, which I’d love for you to check out: charlieroyal.com

Honestly, anything stray kids is awesome! I'm not sure what else you have reached to for them, but I love Easy, Side Effects, All In, Any, Domino, Chronosaurus
Stray Kids are my fav group and yes there is a laundry list of things to listen to because they have a crazy amount of variety. They have edgy songs, edm, more rock inspired, R&B, dance, ballads, even some latin inspired tracks. Also, their B sides slap.
My favs to start: Blueprint, Ta, Slump, Scars, The View, Oh, Tortoise and the Hare, Domino (if you're going to watch a video I would suggest the Dance practice as there isn't a full video on this), Silent Cry, Streetlight, Haven, YaYaYa, Red Lights, Placebo, and Boxer.
That's just a beginning lol.
As for other groups, I would highly recommend Dreamcatcher and Rolling Quartz
I think you made a really great point about rock genre being a box. As a rock fan I’ve seen it so many times where artists get criticized for changing their sound and “selling out” if their sound changes. They get criticized if they stop being really heavy but also get criticized if every song sounds too similar. Bands also run the risk of being obsolete if they aren’t able to adapt to the changing scene. It’s really hard.
Stray kids has songs with basis in a lot of different genres. I think you’d love side effects, Wolfgang, tortoise and the hare, double knot, awaken. They’re all different genre basis but they’re all so good. I appreciate how stray kids really like to play with their sound.
If you ever want to check out a different group (not that I don’t love or appreciate your stray kids reactions) I’d recommend Monsta X. Gambler has a heavy guitar and some Michael Jackson influence.
Appreciate you 💜
i really appreciate the words you said i want to say its really good that you appreciate the work of stray kids
i highly recommend you to react to their debut song "district 9" and a few of their songs "YAYAYA" & "awaken"
you should definitely watch with the subtitles! the lyrics are always so meaningfull! 😍
"It's not pop. It's got some edge to it." This is exactly what sets Stray Kids apart from most other kpop in my opinion.
Aaaah I'm so happy you're reacting again to my children, thank you 😭💕 bet you've been busy lately, hope I can go to one of your concerts once you come to San Diego!
Thanks, Susy! Definitely gotta come check us out in San Diego 🤘🏽
@@NickMartinIsMyName awesome! I've never missed a show, I'll be there definitely 😎👌
I will be honest that at the begging Cheese was not my Fav Skz song, however because of the lyrics it's bow become one of my favs.
Love the meaning behind the lyrics in Cheese. When I walk into meetings at work now, Cheese often plays in the back of my mind LOL. Wonder what my bosses would thiink if they knew. The meaning of the lyrics for me is that Skz are pretty much saying: Why are you looking for something to critisize about us? Is it fun for you? We are ok and we like who we are. And because we don't care we say Cheese ✌:) One of my favourite part of the MV is when the social media comments scroll during the lirycs " Here comes the nonsense party" :) because they are aware of all the speculations and at times negative comments.. Ah, love my Skids. It's funny how they've helped me through a lot of adulting. 😂
My recommendations for Stray Kids MV/stage performance
1) Wolfgang ( Kingdom NOEASY performance)
2) Victory Song MV
3) Thunderous MV
4) Domino (dance practice)
5) Boxer (dance practice)
6) TA (dance practice)
And lots more….
Actually their stage performances are amazing.
Enjoyed watching this! I love what you say about Stray Kids and Kpop in general.
You definitely need to check ALL their songs! I tend to recommend you ENHYPEN’s songs lo, but their latest single, Blessed-Cursed (it has a late 90s-early 2000s sound) is so catchy too! And Jungkook feat. Suga - Stay Alive
Yay, yeah if you wanna try something of their's that sounds different than the ones you've reacted to so far, then I'd rec, Blueprint, Winter Falls, or 애
Love your reactions
Added to my list of songs to check out!
yeah I really hope this reaction to stray kids thank you very much 😘 hopefully you continue reacting to them
I will definitely keep reacting to them 👍🏽
@@NickMartinIsMyName Thank you very much and I will continue to support you on your channel
pls react to District 9 as well as Awaken, YAYAYA, and Red Lights. they also incorporated rock elements there. thank u so much for this!
love you chris!!! sleeping with sirens has been one of my favorite bands since i was a preteen and i’m 20 now so it’s really nice and exciting to see you react to my favorite kpop group hahaha ❤️
This vid was the first thing that pop out when i randomly/feel boring, search react to skz (stray kids) and it was 17 hours ago lmao 🤣👌its Great btw..
I think you might really enjoy Red Lights by Bang Chan and Hyunjin from stray kids. Its one that they made as a sub unit and while "sexy" it was inspired by their compulsion and obsession to work and make music. The music and instrumentation in it i think you would really enjoy
Damn, that's a lot of cheese 🤣🤣, but seriously this is a huge bop! I'm starting to like these guys more ans more! You seriously have good taste Nick! Missed your reaction videos!! I have so much fun watching these!! I'm dancing over here watching and listening haha
Watch mv reaction when u make a reaction: ❌
Look at the camera every time and miss everything: ✅
Yesterday i didn't realize you have more SKZ reactions i am going to watch them all 🌟✨🤩😍🥰✨🌟 again your professional point of view as an artist you can understand better, to try to break the box you are so humble and Cool i wish you the best on your live and career ❤️❤️
New Stray Kids album drops 18 of March #OddinaryIsComing
From a legit rock musician y'all 🤘
2:05 his name is Felix
Felix is very talented 🤘🏽
And would love collaborate with them
@@NickMartinIsMyName STAY we can help you. I know they will be happy to work together with you
Stray Kids also has some songs with a little bit of rock elements, like District 9 (their debutsong), and YAYAYA. Maybe you could check them out, as well. But honestly every song is worth to check out. I listened to a lot of rock and metal when I grew up and Stray Kids bring a similar kind of vibe, because they are often so hyped up, but they also have some beautiful slow songs in their discoprahie as well. :)
Also if you want to get to know the personalities of the boys, then check out some Guidevideos (there are a lot). They will tell you some things about each member and the group in general. Stray Kids also drops a lot of content to watch (with english subtitels) and there are a lot of compilations of them online as well. :)
Love to see you reacting to K-pop! You should watch ‘0x1= lovesong’ by ‘tomorrow x together’ pop rock elements with really wonderful cinematography/plot
Love them and that song! I did a guitar play through of it on my channel last year: ruclips.net/video/oDYtzFned6E/видео.html
You should litsen to some of Stray kids old song which are more rock like "Awaken" or "My side" and "0325" (which talk about their debut basically) I think you will love them !!
I agree with everything you said. Very interesting perspective and it is so cool to see you enjoying their music. I always say this but I love your music as well so these videos are very special ❣️
Stray Kids reaction but the guy looks like Nick Martin AND IS NICK MARTIN. Nick Martin on my feed listening to Stray Kids. So happy.
(Side note: Finch, my favorite band because I like all they do even though they've changed so much throughout their records)
Also short people unite. What up!
I think a sea and skz collab would be the cherry to te music cake
Please react to Double Knot by Stray kids!
oh man, LOVED everything you said in this video! your reactions are always so wonderfully thoughtful and I'm excited for more!
I love seeing you enjoying Stray Kids. They are doing so much on their self. Selfproduced, writing the songs and making their own Choreos.
If you want to learn their names it gives good introduction videos on youtube ;)
Hope you are doing great and stay healthy ❤️
the first guy u said u liked is Felix, he is australian , has a great australian accent ! he is definietly the first member people get drawn to becoz of rich deep voice !
I recommend B.A.P - Wake Me Up, its probably the most rock kpop song out there :) Love the reaction Nick
First guy is Felix. Cheese is a 🖕 for the haters. I love it. The "do you think du du is funny" is a synergy to god's menu. The " do you think s headache is funny " is a synergy to side effects.
You have almost 100 songs left 😂😂 can't wait so see it. Maybe you will do a guide? 🤔
As everyone's already mentioned, their discography is incredibly diverse. They have everything from ballads to poppy bops to EDM bangers to psytrance to experimental rap to rock and more. Your ears won't get bored.
A few other songs than incorporate rock elements you might appreciate (yes, I know others will mention some of these in various combinations):
- Awaken
- Yayaya
- Rock
- District 9
- My Side
- Grrr
- Slump (original is Japanese, but there are also Korean and English, and the English is one of their best English ver songs)
- Chronosaurus
- Levanter
- even Red Lights to some extent
I'll reiterate that I mean "incorporate rock elements," not "these are pure rock songs"...because they aren't. SKZ doesn't do a lot of sticking to single genres/styles, even within individual songs. Nonetheless, all of these are great songs and might be to your taste.
Wow i agree
Shit IS hard
the first guy is Felix, hes australian, theres also another aussie who is the leader chan/chris
Big on Felix 👍🏽
Hi! great video once again! Stray Kids have songs in many diffrent genres,including rock inspired ones. My favourite of those has to be Awaken. It s a bside with no music video but heres a link to a lyric video in case you want to check it out in a future reaction ruclips.net/video/dntKWYGsvLg/видео.html
Added it to my list of songs to check out! Thank you, Mikayla 🙌🏽
React to domino by stray kids plsss
You should def react to happy death day by xdinary heroes they recently debuted
React "God's menu"
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Out of curiosity, when musicians perform on stage, what exactly do you guys hear through in-ears? Is it to hear each other better?
Nick reacciona a Imminence :0
2:05 his name is Felix
Hiiii earlyyy!!!! Btw first
I feel like BTS really paved the way for the 4th gen Kpop groups like Stray Kids and Ateez to have sort of, more creative freedom than most Kpop groups previously enjoyed. Their CEO let them explore whatever genre fit the mood they were in, and it made them so successful because they had songs that would appeal to the fans of a variety of different genres. Which led to other music companies having lightbulbs go off in their collective heads. Oh my bad, they weren’t light bulbs, they were dollar signs. (Won signs). And allowing their artists out of the box, so to speak.
it's really interesting to hear your perspective as someone in the music industry! i am excited to see what you think of more of their catalogue, because stray kids crosses genre and structure boundaries like the categories don't even exist in the first place, which is fascinating to me as a music theory nerd! innovators and revolutionaries make the most engaging music in my opinion.
one of my favorite SKZ songs is "N/S". it's pretty early in their discography, from the year they debuted as a group, but it's catchy as hell, and the video shows them all being silly and wacky, which i love seeing. Stray Kids has a "street version" music video of N/S, link here: ruclips.net/video/-CQypyGazkw/видео.html&ab_channel=StrayKids
street version is basically the members screwing around the streets of whatever city they were in at the time.
if you would like to react to band i recomande you korean rock pop/band hope you would enjoy their music and their instruments
- Day6
- onewe
- nflying
- the rose
they kind of do soo many diffrent music styles and mixe them in their beautifull album hope you will react to them
Nick ❣️ Please react SKZ ‘Gods Menu’ & ‘Easy’ please #straykids
So many good ones Especially Oddinary album 🫰🫰
