MDMRN Twin 1: Are they supposed to be fighting people?
MDMRNia: What's the word for after the world ends?
Me: Post-apocalyptic?
MDMRNia: Yea, that. This video is like that.
MDMRNia: Why are they saying "Ooooh" in the background the whole time? Also, why is there a man's voice every now and then? Who is that supposed to be?
MDMRN Twin 1: What is actually happening besides dancing?
MDMRNia: Did they say save my home in the ocean?
Me: Yes, it's a metaphor for the environment
MDMRNia: People don't live in the ocean unless it's a house boat
Me: No, it's...
MDMRN Twin 1: Oh! No one lives in polar areas except penguins
Me: 🤦♂️
Tales of my kids watching #KPOP music videos with me:
Artist: Dreamcatcher
Song: Reason
MDMRNia: Why do they keep changing?
MDMRN Twin 1: Are they all the same cartoon character?
Me: It cycles based on whose singing.
MDMRN Twin 1: Why?
Me: Cause it's cute
MDMRN Twin 1: But why?
MDMRNia: And whose the person watching them?
Me: The fans
MDMRNia: Ehhh, I don't know.
MT2 - Why do they have so many outfits?
MT1 - They have at least 10 outfits per video.
MT2 - Is this BLACKPINK?
Me: No.
MT2 - Why do they look like they are crying?
MDMRNia: I was expecting it to be more...pirate-y.
Me: They're space pirates
MDMRNia: It feels more like #SpaceInvaders than something about pirates. Or like #StarWars. It doesn't feel like they're pirates.
MDMRN Twin 1: No leaves the room
MDMRN Twin 2: Why does it say "Set Me Free" everywhere?
Me: Because that is the name of the song.
MT2: Looking at me skeptically Hmm. I guess that's okay.
MDMRN Twin 2: Why is that girl (Chaeyoung) jumping off the building?
Me: I...don't know...For added drama?
MT2: * looks at the TV skeptically * That's not safe.
MDMRN Twin 1: How old are these girls?
Me: I think they're from like 16 to 19. They're very young.
MDMRN Twin 2: You could be their Dad.
MT1: Yay! Little MDMRN will get a bunch of older sisters.
MDMRNia: What is happening here? Is there a theme?
Me: Sure
MDMRNia: Yea, what? Spooky hotel?
MDMRN Twin 1: And abandoned amusement park!
MDMRNia Yes. Old abandoned amusement park and Alice in Wonderland.
Me: ...
MDMRNia: That's too many themes.
Tales of listening to #KPop with my kids:
Artist: Blackpink
Location: In the car with my 3 daughters
Actual Conversation:
MDMRNia: There are 4 of us here, which member of BLACKPINK are each of us?
MDMRN Twin 1: Rosé
MDMRN Twin 2: Pass
MDMRNia: I think I would be Lisa...
Me: No, cause...
MDMRNia: Did she say something about her tongue and a razor blade? Sounds painful.
Me: She said her tongue is a razor blade.
MDMRNia: Still painful. Wow.
Me: It's a metaphor
MDMRNia: Glaring Still, though.
Me: So, what did you think of the song.
MDMRN Twin 1: I really liked the one who had her hair up in braids that looked like cat ears
Me: But did you like the song?
MT1: How did she do that? I wonder if I could do that. I don't know. That looks really hard to do.
MDMRN Twin 2: What was that song about?
Me: The women in the video not feeling pretty because of how others look. And all of them feel that way and say they hate themselves because of it
MT2: But they are pretty.
Me: Yes
MT2: But they think they're not
Me: Yes
MT2: ... (thinking)
Me: ...
MT2: Play it again, please
Me and MDMRN Twin 2 watch the video -
Me: So? What do you think.
MT2: - She walks over to me, puts her hands up like little horns and says deadpan - Daddy. I'm a villain. Unforgiven.
-- Me and MDMRN Twin 2 just having a normal conversation while driving when suddenly... --
MT2: I'm unhappy
Me: Oh no, are you okay? Do we need to head home?
MT2: No, that's the song. I'm listening to it.
Me: Oh
MT2: Please play it again so I can hear the whole thing.
@sariash Aww. Glad y'all are enjoying them. I just post them as I happen to be watching MVs with the kids. Which more often is on the weekends as I put YouTube music videos on the TV while I fold laundry. :Hehe:
