Hey y'all, want to start off by saying this isn't meant to like, cause any drama or meant to direct hate at the band, just want to see if anyone else has similar feelings.
I absolutely love every single track on DEAD AND, it's what I've come to love from XH, with some great electronic sounds brought in, but I just genuinely think No Cool Kids Zone is objectively bad.
And after listening through the album, I was really hoping to see some agreement online, only for the only posts I saw mentioning the song saying it's their favorite on the album, and even it just outright being their favorite XH song now, and I just felt completely thrown off.
Like, musically it's fine, so long as you remove the unbearablely repetitive "what the fuck" sample. And then I would say this song features the absolute worst English lyrics to ever come out of XH. Like as a KPop fan, I have a pretty good tolerance for bad English lyrics, but I usually don't have to worry about that with XH, like sometimes a phrase might be a little off, but every word of this song physically hurt to hear.
I was very relieved to find that the majority of the blame can be placed on Lov3notdxxd, so I don't feel as bad not liking it.
Honestly the only good thing I can say about it is that it seems that JYP and StudioJ might be finally letting their rock band full of grown adults actually act like a rock band full of grown adults. But besides that I don't see any of the appeal.
Really hope there are some Villains out there who feel the same.
