I love your honesty, it's real and refreshing to hear someone's real opinion. Most people are too afraid to say 'it was alright, but not for me'.

"The producer's killing it."  Welcome to 3Racha, the producing unit of Stray Kids. (They are self-produced.) They write and produce 99% of their music.

Him: The producer is killing it
Me : Well ...💅💅💅

There is nothing generic about them. They write ad produce their own stuff. Self made group. Every song is different from he next.

First time hearing someone call THE stray kids generic 😂😂

Aussie members Felix and Bang Chan are friends with Ryan Reynolds.

I don't know if I've ever heard anyone describe Stray Kids as generic  poppy.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tempo changes are a trademark of kpop. It allows for those great rises and drops. This group writes and produces all their music themselves.

Songs you need to listen to: Creed, Bounce Back, Venom, Maniac by Stray Kids.

Topline, Side Effects, Backdoor, Easy, Thunderous, Ceremony, Do It, Divine

15:42 they are on the soundtrack with an amazing song called "SLASH", but Bang Chan (leader of Stray Kids) has been very good friends with Ryan for a while now❤️💛 Stray Kids did a performance inspired by Deadpool a long time ago and Ryan noticed, and they became friends (also with Felix, since Bang Chan and Felix are both Australian!). Fun fact: Ryan didn't get permission from Marvel to do this, he just kind of showed up and dragged Hugh with him😭

Creed, Bounce Back, Topline, Tourtoise and the Hare, Muddy Water

Ryan and Hugh appeared in the video wearing the official costumes without Marvel's permission...They're both big fans of Stray Kids and friends with Bang Chan and Felix. 'SLASH' is the song that was part of the soundtrack for the Deathpool and Wolverine movie 🔥🔥🔥
And, as others have already mentioned, a self-produced group that writes, composes and arranges its own songs (3RACHA) 🖤🔥🔥🔥

The Lalalala MV is about the 8 little kids conquering their stage fright (represented by the giants). They work through each emotion to put on a good show to their parents in the hall (see the teaser). The giants are stage fright, so them and the 4 gold Chinese characters (4 emotions) disappear when conquered, leaving only the joy of performing.
Pirates of the Caribbean/One Piece pirates = anger
Dark Knight (Bank heist Jokers with exploding bus) = chaotic happiness
white tombs = sorrow
Mad Max (fire, gold & black machines) starts off small, but grows with an orchestra, drums, marching band, flags, 150+ extras = joy

It's a play on words - rock sounds like rak = pleasure in Chinese, as well as luck and lock in English. They muck around with how those 4 words are used in the lyrics between the 3 languages.

The rock version is awesome. Chk Chk Boom's reggaeton vibe is great and was such a different vibe for them at the time it came out.

They put out festival and remix versions for many tracks - worth checking out for a faster paced, underground vibe!

They also have anime soundtracks for Tower of God (4 songs), Arcane League of Legends (Come Play) and Solo Leveling (ReawakeR). They are big gamers, Faker (5x ESport Champion) even does a cameo in Ceremony for them.

Thank you, enjoy your investigations!

Creed, divine, hall of fame, item, easy, 3racha, topline, megaverse

LaLaLa has a rock version too so if you want less pop then you should check that out.

Ah, that are some interesting songs you picked there for your first time.  These two are very poppy, yes.
If you want some of their more "unique" songs, check out: "Bleep", "Ceremony" or "Megaverse"
Especially "Bleep" could be interesting for you. Stray Kids was supposed to change the lyrics, so it can be played on broadcast, but they refused :)
Since they are almost completly self-produced, they experiment a lot with their music, so no album is like the other. I really love and appreciate that about them.

Stray Kids portrayed Deadpool a few years back in a K-pop show called Kingdom…Ryan was so impressed he reached out to Chris ( Leader and producer) through social media and a friendship began…Hugh Jackman an Aussie (as are Felix and Chris of Stray Kids) and good friend of Ryan also commented on social media about Felix  (the Aussie connection) 😊…And we might as well throw in the other Aussie   Chris Hemsworth aka Thor who met SKZ at the Met Gala who is also a fan…
Stray Kids in the very beginning were given a hard time because of their music..It was labeled NOISY and not your typical K/pop sound… But they stayed true to themselves and are one of the biggest groups globally…They write and produce all of their music and of any genre…They are unique and extremely talented, their  word play and lyrics are brilliant and very clever… If you do or don’t add to your playlist.. Millions of us already have and are so much better for it..Thanks for  the reaction!!

I would recommend Side Effects, Creed, Grrr (Beware), Domino, Megaverse, 3Racha, Bleep, Topline, Easy, Venom, Muddy Water, Walking on Water, Tortoise and the Hare, Victory Song, Cheese... there are so many songs.

Their Bsides do not disappoint. Some might not be to your taste but I’m always confident with their bsides. The way they write music is amazing . You’ll find yourself relating to ALOT of their songs and no 2 songs sound the same. Their main tracks are great but also obviously meant to grab the attention so that you get pulled into them.
