what your fave parx album (or technically ep) says about you, imo:

- airplane conversations:

we get it youre scene

- blacklight:

we get it youre emo and youve got Big Dreams

- cluster:

youre probably a bit of a simp and just generally in your head a lot, also oo pretty grunge aesthetics

- double dare:

warped tour has shaped half of your personality, the other half has been shaped by your middle school experiences. youve got taste, but youre probably nostalgic or a parx elitist

- entertainment:

youre DEFINITELY a simp, and it has bitten you in the ass your whole life. but hey at least youre fun at parties

- fandom:

youve been thru enough relationship problems to start your own couples counseling probably (but it wont be a great one because you still dont know how to get over your ex(es))

- greatest hits:

congrats on the adhd diagnosis, but condolences about The Horrors. youre the friend that looks the most put together but has the most unhealthy coping mechanisms of the group

- intellectual property:

you either have bpd, have been in too many relationships with people who have it, or youre the parx fan who will be least embarrassed to have control of the aux because a lot of it can be found on the radio (but if you play any from this youll get a sideeye)

did you name ur blog after the waterparks album??

the answer to this question is not yes in that i didn't name my blog in honor of the waterparks album but it is yes in that i thought of it because of the waterparks album.

I wouldn't mind having a waterparks url except unfortunately, waterparks hasn't put out a really good album since double dare (though i think entertainment is fine) and needs to hire a touring bassist because their live show sounds thin as hell. i also think putting a screen time limit on awsten would benefit humanity

#dont hate them dont love them. double dare is a great album.#seen them... thrice. warped tour with mikey. opening for atl pre implosion of course and then in february where they sounded. bad.#thank you for asking though! you are the first person to clock this or at least the first to mention it!

having fandom as your favorite parx album and also enjoying greatest hits is like evolving in a radioactive wasteland like. i am unkillable bc i adapted to enjoy the fumes (questionable lyrics) and hazardous waste (watching awsten knight have a public breakdown)

#idk i genuinely like self sabotage and funeral grey! i like self sabotage way more and i mostly only like funeral grey bc i like to make fu #*fun of it. but idk im not that worried about whether parx 5 will be good #i DO worry that parx will break up before then though ngl #but the minute i got into waterparks i spent a night reading about whatever drama i could find about them #and was like OH. okay so i have to see them in concert as soon as i can bc they are not gonna last are they 👀#so idk! fandom is my baby and ik gh gets a lot of hate but i do love a lot of it #the ranking is still fandom then ent then gh then double dare tho #anyway ik fandom isnt a common favorite parx album and im convinced thats why i actually like the newest songs lmao #waterparks #parx 5 #my post

Anyone else have that one band you used to love SO MUCH? You’d listen to them pretty much every day, always watched interviews/videos with the members, knew so many of their songs by heart, even learned a couple of their songs on an instrument or two. You still appreciate/like them and wish the best for them, but they’ve just gone in such a different musical direction for the past few years that it seems like they’ve pretty much forgotten their roots and you just can’t really get into it anymore. This post is about Waterparks

#I really hope this doesn’t sound mean it’s just my opinion #I was OBSESSED with them when I was a freshman in high school - like crazy obsessed #I just haven’t been super into them for the past few years ever since FANDOM #although I do still like some of the more recent songs here and there #and no this isn’t me being a bitter stuck-in-the-past pop punk fan who thinks they shouldn’t be allowed to branch out and do what they want #I feel like they just used to make poppier music so well but the newer stuff isn’t as unique nor does it hit the same anymore #also I’m sorry to say this but for me the new album is just… bad #ritual is a jam though #and either way I will always love their music from Airplane Conversations to Entertainment #also Double Dare is still one of my all-time favorite albums #and that’s okay!! I’m glad so many people love their new stuff and everyone gets something different out of music #I know I can go back to their older music whenever I want to so I won’t keep complaining #I won’t put this in the Waterparks tag because that’s mean #pop punk

An Analysis of TXT’s minisode 2: Thursday’s Child

First of all, I totally called this at their MAMA 2021 performance. A very niche, youthful concept, as usual. “Thursday’s child” was taken from a nursery rhyme and the full line is “Thursday’s child has far to go.” This may have something to do with the fact that MOA was named on a Thursday (Aug 22, 2019). Anyway, that’s all for another time.

I haven’t written a review (analysis, now that I look at it) on this blog before, but I just had to for this album.

Opening Sequence

Starting off with the first track, Opening Sequence.

Comparing the breakup of a young relationship to the opening sequence of a movie, the lyrics tell a story of pain, regret, and longing. The opening sequence of the movie keeps playing on in the mind of the person, wishing they could have had more in the relationship.

I can see you in my memory Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me Take one more chance on me, chance on me, chance on me I'm bleeding painfully, painfully, painfully You in the faded film, your gaze that erased me

The repetition of lyrics in the chorus works wonderfully to tell the feelings of being trapped in repeating memories. Not only was the initial breakup painful, but the memories he has to go through over and over make it worse.

This was one of my favorites on the album. From the intro to the first verse with Taehyun’s vocals to the illusion of a waltz in 4/4 time in the chorus, it made me want to cry, damn it.

Good Boy Gone Bad

Now we have the title track, Good Boy Gone Bad.

Back when I first started stanning TXT, before they went emo, I said jokingly, “They’re like the Fall Out Boy of K-Pop with their long-ass song titles.” Then they came out with 0X1=LOVESONG and LO$ER=LO♡ER with their new punk pop sound, abandoning the cute, happy, pastel-wearing concept for a grittier, darker feel. Did I expect it? Absolutely not. But did I love it? Dude, I loved it so much. I’ve always loved punk and emo sounds, one of my enduring favorite bands being Fall Out Boy. TXT’s new sound was amazing. 0X1=LOVESONG is one of my favorite songs right now, if not the favorite.

To me, this track is essentially the “Look What You Made Me Do” of TXT. This is their Reputation era. Gone are the cute, happy, pastel-wearing boys. They trade pink sweaters and cowboy hats for black suits reminiscent of My Chemical Romance’s music videos in the 2000s and leather jackets. In CROWN they danced in a multi-colored abstract setting, in Blue Hour they were at a carnival on a magic island. Now they’re dancing in a graveyard and getting in trouble in various ways.

Put that nail in the coffin over the word forever You completely changed me when I was fragile I spent hours in front of the mirror wanting to become you Scratching my face, swallowing my heart

Look at those lyrics. If that isn’t emo I don’t know what else is. And it just gets more emo from there. Like damn, who hurt these boys? Seriously I wanna know. They can catch these hands.

In between the chorus and the verses, the pre-chorus and the bridge have a break between the anger and angst, giving us beautiful a glimpse of the sadness and broken hearts behind the black clothes and the guitar riffs.

Trust Fund Baby

At first this confused me. Usually, “trust fund baby” is a term with negative connotation about a young adult from a rich family who doesn’t need to have a job to be wealthy and happy. I thought this track would have been criticizing other people, but no it’s way more sad.

The shining spoon to me is someone else's story Someone that already have their dreams There's no "game over" in their lives

In Korea, there is something called the “spoon theory” which is about how one’s parents’ social class determines their own. The highest and wealthiest is the golden spoon, then silver spoon, then bronze, and then dirt (source). One of the biggest societal problems in South Korea is poverty and class, as seen in popular media such as Squid Game or Parasite.

Now knowing this, it’s easier to understand the first lyrics of the song. They don’t have that shining, golden or silver spoon. Comparing love to class and financial struggles, they want security in love like the trust fund babies have security in wealth and success.

It’s a song about acceptance of hopelessness, referencing multiple times their previous title track, LO$ER=LO♡ER. Did I tear up a little while reading the English translation? Yeah, a little bit.

Lonely Boy (The tattoo on my ring finger)

Finally! We come to our first unit song of the album with Yeonjun and Huening Kai!

Yet another song of heartbreak, the lyrics tell of boy who has fallen so in love with a girl that they both get matching ring finger tattoos in place of promise rings. Of course, they both break that promise, leaving the boy lonely again, which he’s used to. But because of the tattoo on his ring finger, he can’t completely forget her like he wants to. The lyrics also compare the tattoo with things she’s said. Like the needle with the ink created the tattoo, her words stabbed his heart so much that he can’t get rid of the damage she caused.

I hate it, now I don't need it Your traces that won't heal Standing here alone Lonely boy stayin' lonely She ain't my one and only, one and only

While the pre-chorus changes throughout the song, the chorus remains the same, ending with the heavily repeated phrase, “She ain’t my one and only.” He keeps having to remind himself that he doesn’t need to keep holding onto her, that there’s probably someone else out there for him. But he’s scarred, tattooed by the harm she caused him. He’s been lonely ever since she left. He can’t see that changing any time soon.

Thursday’s Child Has Far To Go

And finally to the last track and the second unit song of the album, we have Thursday’s Child with Soobin, Beomgyu, and Taehyun.

While the other tracks in this album have a sense of being stuck and lonely and sad, Thursday’s Child has a glimmer of hope in it. An instrumental reminiscent of 80′s synth and punk influences, it’s more upbeat than its predecessors on the album. It’s based around the nursery rhyme I mentioned at the beginning of this review (link for the full rhyme), with the line “Thursday’s child has far to go” as the title and main theme of this story.

While most of the children’s rhyme has more clear meanings, the Thursday’s child line is open to interpretation. Things could go badly or well, as is with most things in life. But no matter what, for Thursday’s child, it will be a long journey, whether the outcome be good or bad. However, even if there’s a chance of failure and heartache, the boys display optimism or realism after a pattern of endless depression in the album.

In a world where much is determined by internet culture, they see a trend of #breakup and adding “glowup” next to it. Just because they broke up with a lover doesn’t mean that sadness is the only outcome. They can improve themselves, learn to be happier, and move on.

It's going to be tougher than it's been Unpredictable our life It's a lot farther than I've come I'm looking forward to the wonderful days

The last lyrics of the bridge are some of my favorites. They can see that the darkness will pass. They have faith that this isn’t the end. There is still a long story to be told, and an unknown ending. There’s hope beyond the present.

As usual with TXT’s releases, I loved this one. The lyrics so wonderfully capture the heartbreak of a young adult, the anger and sadness that follows, and eventually shine light on the hope they have for the future. Paired with a dark concept with deep shadows and night scenery, the album’s sound continues their journey through youth into adulthood, seeing the harsh realities of lost love and then the life that comes after it.

TXT has a concept that at its core doesn’t change. They still represent youth. But the outside has evolved, as one’s youth does. As they grow older and wiser through their careers, their music and performance grow with them. They wear darker clothes, have sexier choreography, and more mature lyrics, as one would expect from young men, all while still keeping their youthfulness about them.

We don’t know where the story goes next. Since we know it’ll be a long one, I can’t wait to see more albums and singles from this group. We’ve seen them grow from naïve, joyful boys into angry, hurt young men. Where will their journey take them next? I don’t know, but I can’t wait to see more from them.
