The meanings of Aespa’s lyrics are more than their universe

At first, when they said things against Black Mamba, I just thought of it as words about their universe.

There were words I thought didn’t fit with the universe theme and sounded more like responses to haters.

Then I realized that Black mamba is actually a metaphor for online haters.

We just learned that the æ of every person is created and evolved from their data online (the good and the bad). But the villain of this story is created differently. It is not one person but it was generated from all the hate online into this ae and it further negatively affects whoever interact with it like æKarina (later real Karina herself).

Basically the hate online is infectious. Usually when you see hate online, you interact with it with more hate. Later it affects you as a person in real life as well.

The SMCU episode talked about how all the ways you portray yourself on the internet is part of who you are. Even if in real life you are a different person.

They actually showed us how the black mamba was created

It’s created only from hate. The hearts are all dislikes btw.

We thought this was another member or something else because we didn’t know how the human form of black mamba looked like.

But it’s actually the same person here

Summary,

Black mamba is a metaphor of online haters.

Quote from Alex_Murphy

Wasn't it known since their debut? I remember reading a breakdown of their concept and words when Black Mamba released.

It's a common topic among groups nowadays. Dreamcatcher's dystopia series and Everglow's LA DI DA were addressing the same issue.

Technically yes, but the scene of creation at the end of their debut song was revealed from the beginning and we thought it was someone else, not the Black Mamba itself.
