Oh, two other thoughts:
1. The first verse has bonus wordplay!
2. The reviewer left out my favourite scene from the vid, where they're performing with gigantic images of themselves looming over them. Rather creepy.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My sense is that almost all groups considered idol groups are not considered artists in Korea. BTS is beginning to be an exception, but their exceptionalism in Korea is, in my opinion, directly linked to their wild success and recognition overseas. (Many people love a winner, and Korea perhaps more than some cultures loves things that make Korea look good on a world stage.)
But other well-known and successful idol groups are not considered artists. Not Exo. Not Twice. Not Super Junior. BigBang a little bit - they are certainly popular with the public at large, but are they artists? Only maybe. The Korean Music Awards are the best summary of what music critics in Korea think is good (equivalent to the US Grammys) and there's not a lot of idol music on there. (See [link] )

Apparently this is the start of making the Eldergoths empty their bank accounts: Dead Can Dance are releasing a new album, all of the This Mortal Coil albums are being remastered and reissued, and Bauhaus are not only reissuing "Bela Lugosi's Dead" with three unreleased tracks, they're reissuing six albums on different colored vinyl.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

This is from ridiculously way back, but I wanted to thank you for pointing me in this direction. When I got to the Dance/Electronic songs, I realised I have the winners from four years in a row! ...And not one of the winners in the Pop category. Which made me realise that for the most part, I'm not actually that keen on the straight-up pop oeuvre within K-pop. (I tend to like it when it includes retro elements or goes for a more mature sound, but otherwise my favourite songs tend to get into ballads, rock, electronica, jazz etc.
