I’ve thought of another song that I wanna listen to at the beach.

Oh? Which song?

Well it’s by a Korean group called “Stray Kids” and the song is called “Because…”

(Chuckles) Okay? Let me look that up… (Googling…) It’s got Korean and English lyrics.

Yeah. So like, I never fully got into the song because I can’t understand the Korean part of it.

There’s translations of the Korean lyrics right here (shows in another tab)…

Yeah, but that’s not the same. If you could just, somehow translate the Korean so then the full song is sung in English?! And then sing THAT to me?! At the beach?! With a guitar?! With or without your bros?!?! Isn’t that more romantic?!?!

(Puzzled) (Unsure if we’re having the same conversation right now) Where are you… what?! Where are you going with this? What do you really want?

I just said what I want! I would like THAT song — in FULL ENGLISH. Acoustic. At the beach.

(Nodding, processing…) It’s not really my style… (Chuckles)

Yes it is. Yes it is your style! You can sing it!!! At least we all know it’s in YOUR RANGE… (Laughing)

Hmm… what do you think of this boy group anyway?

What do you mean?

Well… where are they in your rankings?

(Giggles) They are… I don’t know?! Like Usher? Mariah Carey? Maybe?!

Usher?! Mariah Carey?! You’re not a big big “fan girl” of either of them. You’re like a casual listener?

Hmm… yeah, maybe? (Giggles, laughing)

So they’re like an Usher or Mariah Carey to you, not like… a Taylor Swift? Beyonce?

Oh… that’s what you’re asking me?!

Yes… (nodding)… I wanna know the TRUTH. I’m very CURIOUS to read what you have to say about THIS GROUP on YOUR PUBLIC BLOG.…

(Laughing)

You haven’t answered my question.

I think umm… I can’t rank them up there with TAYLOR SWIFT?! I don’t know their LORE… 100% I definitely don’t know all their lore. I was a casual… lore-comer-acrosser…? So like, I know bits and pieces of lore, but I don’t know THE. FULL. LORE.

I wouldn’t be able to figure out any Easter eggs. I can’t even name… many content creators… like in the SWIFTIE world — we have quite a few “reliable” content creators that are like our go-to channels FOR THE LORE. There’s even PODCASTERS and podcast channels to listen to for ALL THE LORE AND EVEN HER PERSONAL LIFE GOSSIP. It’s like unlimited SWIFTIE UNIVERSE that you can be A PART OF.

I can’t think of… any particular one main channel of lore or gossip for this group. Also maybe because I’m only consuming the English content?! Anything that has been translated or has subtitles?

So… I just can’t fully get into it, and especially any songs that aren’t fully in English. I am not about to download DUOLINGO to try to UNDERSTAND THEIR SONGS.

Okay… (Backing away motion)… (Laughing)… are you frustrated that some of the songs are in Korean?

No? Frustrated isn’t the word. It just doesn’t make me “more” interested to listen. Like when they’ve released an album, I’ve listened to it once… it was alright…

(Bursts out laughing) “ALRIGHT?!?!?!” I feel like I should be OFFENDED on behalf of my COUNTRYMEN!!!

(Laughing) WELL… what do you expect?!?!? I DON’T. UNDERSTAND. KOREAN!!!?!?!?!?!

(Giggling and laughing so hard, almost crying) (Big sighs, recovering from painful abs of laughter)… Okay, so you like the song “Because” — that was a while ago. Any recent songs by this group? That you like?

(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)

I don’t know, I mean, it’s not even your genre?! So who cares?! Just play me THAT song at the beach — with fully translated English, please!

(Laughing so hard at the audacity) Hmmm… I’ll think about it… (Smiling)

(Raising eyebrows) (Smiling)

What?

I’m trying to seduce you to get the TRUTH of your OPINIONS about THIS group….

(Chuckles)

You want my rankings? Of their songs?!

(Laughing) Sure?! Why not?! Let’s see what your rankings are…

You know what? I haven’t even listened to all their albums… and THAT’S THE TRUTH! (Laughing)

(Wide-eyed) Really?! You haven’t even listened to their WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY?! Not even all their available ENGLISH songs?!

No… I’m just a casual… comer-acrosser… stumbled upon some Tik Toks… (Giggling)

Also — is there an Apple music playlist for all their English songs?! I mean — if someone curated that, sure, maybe I would listen to it one day? While driving to work? Out of curiosity?! But at the moment of typing this, I don’t think there’s an Apple music curated list of all their ENGLISH songs?!?!?!

(Nodding… processing)… What else? About this group?

(LOL)… WELL… EVERY MEMBER IS SUPER SEXY EXCEPT FOR ONE GUY!!!!

What?!?!?!?!?!?!

I’M JUST KIDDING!!! ^0^

Omg I can’t take this conversation seriously…

I’m taking it VERY. SERIOUSLY. Don’t joke like that. What else?!?!!?!?

It’s not even your genre, why are you comparing you and your bros to Stray Kids?!?!?!

(Laughing) I just want to know!!!

Okay… well… Honestly?

Honestly…

I like the song… Chicka-chicka-boom-boom?!?!

(Laughing) You KNOW that’s NOT the title of the SONG.

Isn’t it?!?!?! (Laughing)

Never mind. What else?!

I can’t remember what else…

Have you listened to the song “Railway” — ?

No…?! Should I…?!

(LOL) No. Don’t listen to it. That’s fine. Keep going…

I haven’t listened to many of the solo songs, and most of them, I kind of forgot…

What?!?!

I keep telling you — if the song’s not fully in English — I’m not DRAWN. IN.

Oh… so you like the recent English songs?

The ones recently released?

Yeah?

Yeah…

Oh you like it?!?!

(Laughing) Why wouldn’t I like it?!!? Yes, I like it!

What do you like about it?

Are you talking about the Beauty and the Beast dude?!?!?! Like, sure, that’s a good song, so what?!?!?!

(Bursts out laughing)

It’s a good song…

The dude looks pretty hot in that fur coat thing… and the leather kilt… (Chuckling)

(Raising eyebrows, smiling) (Biting his lips) You like kilts?!

No?! Not normally?!?! (LOLOLOLOLOL)

Oh… so you like kilts on THAT guy??!!?

(Giggling) I can’t… take this… conversation… seriously!!!

Do you like the KILT or do you like the FUR?!

Hmmm… I think it’s that specific combo of BOTH?! (Giggling)….

but I don’t know if I fully agree with the lyrics of that song…

WHAT?

Well… I don’t think any member of “Stray Kids” is living a life that is “unfair” — ?!?!

You don’t find it relatable?

It’s not that I don’t find it relatable… I just think, with a Western lens… it doesn’t feel that authentic, sometimes… when K-pop has English lyrics. And it’s not K-pop’s fault. And this isn’t even your genre, so I’m specifying K-pop…… I’ve had other friends mention this too. Swiftie friends. Okay Swifties are our own breed — WE CARE ABOUT LYRICS.

And if the lyrics doesn’t resonate, you’re not getting any Swifties.

Swifties are poets.

We love lyrics.

And we need the lyrics in our own language, that we actually understand and resonate with.

So in that respect — yeah, it just… it doesn’t quite resonate… yet…

(Nodding) (Contemplating) Do you just watch Stray Kids for the guys taking their shirts off?!?!?!?!?!

(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) (CACKLING)

Noooooo….?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

Whyyyy are you interrogating me right now about this!??!!?!?!?!?! (Laughing)

I WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH. I WANNA READ THE TRUTH ON THIS BLOG. I WANNA KNOW IT’S NOT ALL FICTION. WHAT’S THE TRUTH… OF YOUR OPINIONS… ABOUT THIS GROUP?!?!!?!?!?

You know what?! I like CORPSE. Okay?! Corpse is more like YOUR genre. Right?!?!? I think so. That’s how it makes sense in my mind.

Corpse?!

Yes. Look him up. The song “Miss YOU!” by CORPSE. On Apple music. I don’t know if it’s on Spotify… but it’s a GOOD SONG. I like THAT. SONG.

You can play that for me on the beach, too! But change the lyrics a little bit, I don’t like how he says “Wish the reaper would take me away” — like just modify it a little bit so it’s a little more positive… otherwise, that’s a really, really good song, too.

(Looks up the song, starts listening)… This isn’t K-pop.

I know! That’s what I’m saying! This is WAY MORE like YOUR “GENRE” — and we’re still not ever specifying your genre on this fictional blog.

(Giggling) I don’t know, I just think, like, one of the guys in Stray Kids is like, especially good looking and sexy…?????

(Laughing) You’re gay for one of the Stray Kids!?

Well, if I WAS… WHICH ONE would you GUESS him to BE?!?!

(ROFLMAO)~~~~~~~~

I don’t think I can press “Publish” —

Why not? It’s your fictional blog, you can do whatever you want.

Okay fine. I’m just gonna add… I’ve heard the LORE is that THEY’RE ALL REPTILIANS!!!

(Laughing) Yes, you’re right. They’re all allegedly reptilians.

They’re all reptilians and the other lore is that… they’re all GAY for each other anyway! (LOL)

Oh?!? IS THAT THE OTHER LORE?!?!?!

(Nodding and laughing)

Yes… similar to how Taylor Swift has her sub-segment of “Gaylors” — that’s a whole other post — there is a sub-set of Stray Kids fans who’s “delulu” involves imagining that they’re all gay for each other anyway, and that keeps them happy to stay in that fantasy, okay?!

Are these real fans or toxic fans?

I think they’re genuinely harmless fans. It’s just a cute little fantasy and there’s many edits… the AI algorithm sends me them… (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)

You get sent the GAY FAN EDITS?!?!?! OF THE GUYS ALLEGEDLY FALLING IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER?!?!?!?!?!?!?

(Wheezing from laughter now)….

Sometimes they’ve been very graphic… like they made AI… fan… “art”…. (ROFLMAO)~~~~

(Wide-eyed) (Genuinely learning this for the first time)

Is that NOT on your fyp?!?!? Are you seriously learning about this for the FIRST. TIME?!?!?! (Can’s stop laughing!!!)

(Shaking his head) I don’t know how to feel about this. I thought your fyp had more edits of me than gay fan edits of “Stray Kids”!??!?!?!

Well… the AI algorithm is just taking a gander. It doesn’t really know what I want. Maybe I accidentally clicked “like” on too many of the gay fan edits and now it thinks that’s all I want.

This is fictionalized. This entire story, from start to finish, is all 100% fictionalized. We need to contact Stray Kids to ask their permission for this story.

I don’t think I need to contact them!? It’s just a delulu conversation that hasn’t even happened… and IT’S NOT. YOUR. GENRE.
