•MEANING/SOCIAL CRITICISM OF SOME BANGTAN SONGS•
Criticism of exaggerated consumerism. People buy things that they don't need, without need, many times, to try to fit into society. There is a part of the song that says: "you won’t freeze just because you don’t have that jacket"
Inspired in the story "Pied Piper of Hamelin"(If someone does not know I will put the Link in a comment).
In the context of the song, bangtan criticizes obsessive idolatry. Where ARMY is practically told to have a social life. Don't let yourself be "bewitched", because idolizing a person too much always has
Although the song is animated and has a fun choreo, the message of this song carries a criticism of the materialism of society. Cars, money, luxury things, etc. Today's people place more value on these things (materialism) than on moral values and criticize that in a lively way.
Criticizes the educational system. Many of the young are pressured to be the best. Where they are almost forced to give up their dreams to become "study machines" and become something that society or their family wants. N.O motivates young people to follow their dreams.
Carry a message of empowerment. It tells us that we must fight, not let ourselves fall, and even in the face of difficulties, continue to persist. As in the song "a day may come when we lose,but it is not today. Today we fight"
Bangtan in this song encourages women to be strong, not underestimate themselves and not define themselves by a man.
This song talks about the difference between generations (the old and new generation)
1st: Baepsae is a small bird that can be used as a term to call someone who destroys himself by trying to imitate or copy other people who are better than him. In Korea there is a saying that says: "If a baepsae walks like a stork, he will break his legs.
2nd: Silver Spoon is a social hierarchy in Korea. There are 4 types of spoons:
Silver: the upper middle class
Bronze: the lower middle class
Dirty spoon: the poor class.
Bangtan were the "dirty spoons" because they came from a poor company.
Fake love talk about how toxic lack of self-love can be. How toxic it can be to wear a mask and pretend to be who you aren't, pretend that everything is fine.
Namjoon in an Interview with J-14 Magazine about fake love: "we wanted to say that if you are false to yourself, love will not last. And love could be between a person and another, but it could also be between me and me."
Composed of the rap line and produced by Yoongi, Tomorrow talks about the moment when you feel lost with your dreams and the reality that the world shows you when you grow up, waiting for a tomorrow that will not take long to arrive and will be better.
