Hii, i'm currently researching for a uni case study and my topic is on grunge and punk authenticity in music groups, and i am using XDZ as an example for it.

I know some of yall aren't fans, and some of you guys might not like them idk. but i just wanna know any thoughts or theories about authenticity in grunge/punk scenes. there has been a few discussions about whether XDZ comes off as an authentic Rock band or not. and i wanna hear some thoughts :) tyy

EDIT: SRRY IF THIS COMES OFF AS SAPPY but I really appreciate the support and comments, its very helpful and also insightful (having been a fan only since last year) 🫶

Whoops I'm late again. Fan-favorite Beautiful Life and our newest MV Voyager are both moving to round 2 🎉 sadly, Freakin' Bad is telling us "if you seek it why owe you" on its way out ❌

This is the last batch of round 1! One last reminder that two out of the three options will move to the second round, meaning that only the least voted will be eliminated.

Round 1 - Last Day:

Little Things vs. Instead vs. Fire

What time is everyone queuing for? I haven’t seen anyone talk about it so i have no rough estimate on when to arrive!

so to preface this XG have all japanese members. they defined themselves as X-POP not kpop or j-pop. However, in order to launch their career they used kpop marketing channels to gain visibility towards global kpop fans. they went on k-music shows, learnt to speak korean and did variety shows.

however, the genius with not defining themselves as k-pop is that they aren't fully defined by korean idol standards when it comes to making music. they were adament on day 1 that they wanted to make songs in full english (not korean or japanese), they also perfected in their english pronounciations where people were actually stunned only 1 member had native-level english.

i love xdinaryheroes and their korean songs, but i imagined an alternate timeline where they did something similar (using kpop to launch their careers but differentiating themselves from other k groups, k-bands and even J-BANDS as something incredibly different) - using kpop as a stepping stone but eventually breaking free from that label someday.

The results for day 5 are in! Save Me and X Room are moving to the next round 🎉 unfortunately Dear H. is leaving us ❌

There will be a daily poll with three options, where only one of them will be eliminated, meaning that the other two will pass to the next round.

There are only 6 songs left so for these last two days of round 1 the brackets are completely random.

Round 1 - Day 6 (not the band):

Freakin' Bad vs. Beautiful Life vs. Voyager

I'm really happy with the participation in this little game, so I want to thank you all for voting and commenting ❤️

Hello Villains! Imma Fellow MIDZY who's bias Wrecker Group is Xdinary Heroes. Today discovered something interesting. So I'll cut to the point. Who is "collapsedone"?

My only Guess is they are a composer or an Arranger. I saw someone recently asked why the names of the members don't appear like they used to and now appear as Xdinary Heroes in the writers log. If I remember correctly it was that all the members were going to take credit, not just select members. But I've noticed "collapsedone" is almost always there.

So why I bring the question up is, I've first noticed their name in a lot of songs written by XDH. But today I noticed "collapsedone" Appeared in Lia's "Asylum" found in Motto Today.

So Who is "collapsedone"? A Composer? An Arranger?

Sorry I'm late this time, life got in the way as it happens. Lost and Found and Night Before the End are both moving to the next round! 🎉 Unfortunately Good Enough did not make it ❌ I guess it will have to go back to darkness of blue.

There will be a daily poll with three options, where only one of them will be eliminated, meaning that the other two will pass to the next round.

I've randomized the brackets as much as possible, while still keeping them somehow cohesive - fun videos against fun videos, ballads against ballads, etc. It will probably not always be possible though.

Has anyone here ever attended an Xdinary Heroes Hi-Bye session? I’m going to the upcoming London concert, and I was wondering if we are allowed to film or take videos during the Hi-Bye session. Does anyone happen to know how strict they are or what the rules usually are? Thanks in advance!

So I've been hoping to go to an xdh concert for a while now and I haven't had the chance to go to one yet. I also know that Gun-il will be going to the military soon. Is there any chance that xdh will have a tour before he enlists? I know that they are currently having a few concerts in Europe and the UK but what about after this? Would they have a few concerts in the US or another concert in the UK in the near future?

Day 3 results are in! Love and Fear and Strawberry Cake are moving to the next round 🎉 unfortunately Pluto has to go ❌ but it'll be burning like a glowing star.

I just need to get this off my chest ngl.

So, my friend said she hates Boy Comics. She's not really a villain, more like a casual listener because I made her listen to their songs since they're so peak.

We both used to listen to Xdinary heroes a little since they debuted, but I usually recommended songs to her and she liked them. This year, I got into Xdinary heroes again even more and made her listen to more songs. One of the songs I made her listen to were Boy comics, ashes to ashes, fire, and feeling nice (she listened to these back to back at school because I forced her to, but not in this order ig)

The thing is, she never gave me much of an opinion about it, and I just thought it was because she found the other ones better and wanted to comment on them particularly. What I never expected was her telling she straight up hated it, thought it was dog fart and, in her words, "It feels like nothing, I need smt crazier, where's the emotion, where's the eargasm?" which I think is just stupid.

What also tickled my ahh hair is that she thinks voyager, X room, and KTM are crazier and more hype...like bro do you hear from your ears or your rear. (she thought this is better than the lyrics of boy comics I kid you not omg she's ragebaiting atp)

BUT what's worse, catch this, dyk Don't by Bryson Tiller... She thinks that snooze fest is better than my peak shounen song Boy Comics (just to clarify because she also accused my of this: No, I don't think kpop rap is better than actual rap by black people or whatever, that song is just snore inducing and idk how a functional human would think it serves as an energy pill more than Boy comics. I'm not racist, I had a black physics teacher, and I thought he was the best looking out of the bunch, trust.)

She also thinks spoiler!!! is better than Boy Comics, I disagree but they're both peak so whatever. I also think the weeknd has nothing on my little edgy boys (this is gonna get me burned at the stake by my other normie fan but I'm willing to die on this hill.)

We have 21 music videos, but which one is the best? Let's decide democratically! For this first round, there will be a daily poll with three options, where only one of them will be eliminated, meaning that the other two will pass to the next round.

I've randomized the brackets as much as possible, while still keeping them somehow cohesive - fun videos against fun videos, ballads against ballads, etc. It will probably not always be possible though.
