Basically don't be mean to me because my mum already is
What you judging me for?
Shazza: no judgement
We haven't even started you judging me
Shazza: No judgment, no judgement
Snake
hi gang so I've done my exams and I'm now sufficiently ill and I have like swollen glands in my
neck, which means it's all like HUURHG
Swollen glands here in this weird like
neck pouch
That I have and then my face is also why
Why are you looking at me like that
It's also swollen
and so I'm really disgustingly gross and I therefore apologize for my face
But because I'm ill I decided what better way to get out of making YouTube videos than to rely on my own mum for content
so my mom's gonna be reacting today to to kpop
How do you feel about that Shaz?
Shazza: I am ecstatic
She's buzzing.
So this is my mum Sharon who I call Shazza because I'm cute like that and
She is is very aware that the children in this household have a love for language as you guys know
I do enjoy Korean. Enjoy Korean? That sounds weird
Shazza: Food? language?
Ellbat: Yeah, there you go! I enjoy Korean.
Shazza: yeah you can just have it as a whole entity
Ellbat: yeah it's a broad category
Ellbat: ENTITY *laughs*
Ellbat: ITS ITS OWN ENTITY
Shazza: Korean entity
*both laugh like horses on a hot summers day*
I really enjoy Korean language and Korean music
Shazza: culture
Ellbat: and culture there we are, and so my mum is very aware of this but
That also means that she also has to hear kpop an awful lot
I personally am NOT as into kpop as I am Korean rap and Korean hip-hop
But kpop is a lot of what I think you hear me play
Shazza: in the car?
Ellbat: Yeah, particularly I do
Shazza: oh, I do *looks distraught*
so I figured that because I'm ill and
I look like this
We're gonna let my mum react to the kpop music videos of the music that she hears and that she complains about in the car
Okay, let's get to it
first up
*No More Dream by BTS*
Just gonna turn the volume up
*perfectly times a tongue poke with the sound of a water droplet and looks far too proud of herself*
Shazza: He's too young to be driving that school bus
Shazza: What did I tell you *smh*
Shazza: clearly too young to be driving
Ellbat: He's actually the oldest haha
Shazza: *about Suga* He's holding himself like he needs to go to the toilet.
Ellbat: Who is?
Shazza: The boy who was holding his 'nether regions'
Ellbat: 'Nether regions'... there we are that's a new one
*Suga states that he wants a big house, big cars and big rings*
Shazza: I'm really confused why they're dressed like punks but they're singing pop
Shazza: who's that man... from the thingy
Shazza: from X-Men who wears the thingy
Shazza: *talking about RM's glasses* he looks like him
Ellbat: *laughing* what, Scott? *laughs*
Shazza: YEAHYEAH
*Scott from X-Men*
Shazza: It looks like they're trying to be mean, but they all look too cute
Ellbat: *laughing* that is literally it ahh
Shazza: WHYS HE SHOWING HIS BELLY
Shazza: What what is he doing?!
Ellbat: he's flashing the abs Shaz
Shazza: maybe he should have not worn a top that covered them up if that's what he wanted to do
Ellbat: what if you had abs like that would you not want to show them off?
Shazza: yeah but I'd show them off all the time that's what I mean!
Ellbat: *laughing* just go shirtless 24/7
So this is called no more dream
And it's by my favorite Kpop group called BTS
and this song means about the fact that when they were studying so hard in school
They had no time to dream like when they even when they went to sleep
ok, they couldn't they couldn't dream and basically the way that kpop culture works is that
the group like debut together and when they comeback every time their comeback
Like normally it's like once a year and they have a different image
Sorry my voice is going haha, they comeback with the different image
So the image for this kind of era they call it of BTS, it's kind of like bad-boy gangster
Shazza: Yeah, but they look too cute to be bad boy. That's really confusing
Ellbat: But the next time they comeback like it will be a different image
So this was at first look
Shazza: Ok so they don't have like a set image that they stick with like most bands?
Ellbat: No
Which is what's so cool about kpop culture say it's constantly evolving. So you never really get bored
Ok, so this one is called BANG BANG BANG
*BANG BANG BANG by BIGBANG plays*
Ellbat: Yeah, I do think you're gonna hate this song
*Shazza watches intently*
Shazza: oh I quite like this one
*Ellbat can't cope*
Shazza: I sometimes feel that videos might distract from the words *referring to the shirtless gods in the video*
Ellbat: do you think?
Ellbat: he's having a dance battle with an astronaut
*dafuq*
Shazza: He's gonna get nasty whiplash from that bouncing car
Ellbay: Weirdly, the first time I saw this video I thought the exactly
Ellbat: do they not look like they would be the most fun to go on a road trip with?
Shazza: no no, I'd be like NO YOU CANT HANG OUT OF WINDOWS
Ellbat: I want that miniskirt the white one
Shazza: yeah that's quite nice
I just think it's really interesting, because it's so different
Ellbat: yeah for shuuure
Shazza: That's so much energy that's the kind of
There's a lot of energy in their videos aren't there? It's just the whole costume
I think they're just love costumes
Ellbat: I have to say but the thing that's amazing is that if they then went on to perform
That song they would wear pretty much the same costumes
Shazza: They literally, their whole thing went for from wacky to wacky to even more wacky.
Ellbat: It's, it's an acid trip to listen to BIGBANG, that's the revelation we've established
This is a female group
*Catallena by Orange Caramel plays*
*laughs as soon as they start dancing*
*sounds slightly like a pig on a cold winters night*
Shazza: Ooh this is very sweet (she means sickly)
*shock when she realises they're fish*
Shazza: OH GOD SHES IN A MEAT PACKET
ELLBAT: It's a fish packet Sharon, SHE'S A FISH
Shazza: I'm really confused, it's like they did it for a joke pretending to be sushi
Ellbat: Mum this is a visual masterpiece what you sayin'
Shazza: I actually quite like the song, it's quite cute
The tune is catchy. But I'm really not sure about determining to be ... sushi
Ellbat: but have you ever seen a woman eat herself?
Shazza: well ... that's .. a little bit ... s t r a n g e
Shazza: *whispers* it's very strange
Ellbat: yeah well, that is
That's Kpop
Ellbat: haha You're not sure about that
Shazza: yeah, I don't think I like that video very much okay, it's just a little bit extreme
Ellbat: More than Big Bang?
Shazza: yeah, because it this is like
It's it's a bit like a joke like they're just pretending
Ellbat: No, mum ITS CREATIVE
Shazza; IM NOT SURE THATS CREATIVE THOUGH
I just think it's a bit ... *lost for words*
Shazza: Can you imagine one day they're gonna be like 30, they're gonna look back and go
HUHYEAH
We once did a video where we served ourselves up as fish
Ellbat: NAH if I was that.. if I was like 30 and I had kids and I had a video on the internet where I
was a fish
I would..
Shazza: HIDE IT SO you never see it again
Ellbat: no I would play it whilst giving birth just so they knew what kind of mother they were gonna have
Shaaza: ah snd they did that for real? Not as a joke?
It wasn't for charity or anything like that?
Ellbat: Sharon it has 21 and a half million views what do you think?
Ellbat: Did you say 'did they do it for charity'? *laughs*
Shazza: Yeah, like it likely let's do something really funny and silly for charity
Ellbat: no no
Shazza: So, so it that like, that's perfectly acceptable in that kind of culture
Ellbat: yeah... That's a classic music video
Shazza: well ok then
Shazza: Am I done now?
Ellbat: WEAREDONE
Shazza: That was the longest hour of my life
Ellbat: JESUS
Someone is not a convert to kpop fan
Ellbat: I have to admit my bum is wet
Shazza: it's sweaty in here cuz we had to close the doors because MADAME didn't like the lighting
Ellbat: Don't call me Madame like I'm about to pimp girls out
*Both shout MADAME in various voices*
Shazza: At least you'd make some money
Ellbat: *considers it as a career* that's true
*slaps table* Speaking of money guys. Guess who's monetized on YouTube?
Shazza: Finally she can shut up about it!
Oh no, my mistake cuz now she talks about even more
*regrets giving birth to me*
You know, I didn't have you on here so you could snake me you absolute b*tch
Shazza:*fakes shock* don't you call me such things
Ellbat: it's fine, if I bleep it out when I edit the video it didn't happen. So people won't know
Shazza: but I heard you
Ellbat: but I.. *brain melts* bcfudfcisBLEEP
*makes noise like a freshly born goat*
Shazza: I don't actually mind any of the songs
I quite like them because they're catchy and that they are definitely catchy; I could listen to them. Mm-hmm
It's not.. but I feel like you can't do it justice
By listening to the song while you're watching the video because the videos have so much going on
that it almost distracts from the music and I feel like if you listen to the music separately you'd have a better understanding of that music
but by watching the video you
Almost forget about the music because there's it's just so much going on, so much happening
You know if there's 12 people you're trying to keep an eye on you think:
OH I quite like him or I quite like her and then they change well, I don't what that one's wearing anymore
What did he have on? Oh, I don't know. It's different person and it just swaps around too much
That bothers me.
Ellbat: But do you think do you think the language barrier of it being in Korean,
Because there are English words throughout, particularly BTS songs,
Do you think that the language barrier of it being Korean would affect your overall
interest in the genre?
Would you still appreciate the song and be like: "this is already good song"
or would you be like: "oh, no, it's not interesting cuz it's not English"
Shazza: I think I can appreciate a good tune. So some of those I can absolutely listen to and like, you know
Yeah, you know that's nice tune
But I think without the words it is meaningless to me
Ellbat: but do you not think that the videos are so so extra? Because like music, yeah ok, you can't understand the words
But a lot of the time, the videos and the visual aspects of the music videos
Kind of act as a counterbalance for the fact that a Western audience often can't understand into the words
Shazza: yeah maybe, maybe. Maybe that's it
Maybe it's the fact that they are doing something else, something extra
so that people who don't speak Korean and don't understand what they're saying
can actually experience the songs in another way
Ellbat: BUT, overall impressions then. What do we think?
Would you listen to kpop again?
*Shazza pretends to think about it*
Shazza: *whispers* naaaaah
Ellbat: no? *laughs*

Shazza: open your eyes Jeremy
Ellbat: open them up
