I just watched the MV for Young Posse debut song and I have never been this stunned before by a kpop song/mv.
This doesn't even feel like Planet Earth. This is so....it makes me want to stan NewJeans.
What. The. Fuck. Happened. To. Humans.
"Macaroni Cheese" left my jaw on the floor
-
english lyrics has always been a slippery slope
-
pick your jaw back up drew bee! we must fight through the macaroni cheese terror with strength!

It's terrible.
It's like the worst combination of two facets of kpop.
On one hand they went all in with the modern kpop "I'm a cool swag edgy girl boss" aesthetic.
Then, in some kind of attempt to not turn out just another entry in the swag ubiquity new age kpop playbook, they decided. Hey let's add some Old School Kpop Cringe Charm.
Which..... I am usually an advocate for. Hell I love all the old kpop weird charm. Tilting My Head is my jam.
But.... This doesn't work.
Instead of hitting the strengths of either influence. It just leans into the worst of each.
It's boring monotone swag rapping is tiresome, boring, and uninspired.
And it's Macaroni madness rides the line too goofy to ever hit or benefit from a "this is the good kind of weird" sweet spot.

I could almost forgive this whole thing if it was an older group with life experience to back up the swag. But this group is young as hell. There's a 13 year old on this damn roster.
I agree with your points as well.

At least it'll flop probably

It's such a strange combo lol.
And their name is the biggest miss.
Almost ensures they will not work entirely on it's own.
"Young.... Posse..."????
That kind of name was dumb even in it's hip-hop roots. And is ridiculous here.
Lol.
These poor girls got punked.
