Just a lady in the streets acting up in her 30s. I like to throw SKZ theories at the wall and see what happens...

Mixtape : DominATE Music Video - Burnin' Tires by Changbin & IN

Mixtape : DominATE Photos - Burnin' Tires by Changbin & IN

The music video released and I wasn't wrong about my take on what the 1st plot was for this music video. Mainly our 2 members trying to win the prize money that everyone has a chance to obtain but only one can win via Tekken battles/Fast and Furious. I did notice in the beginning that IN heard the announcer, which is him breaking the 3rd/4th wall of knowing everything in the lore. I loved this music video being very competitive of them trying to fight for the top but Changbin in the midst of the race decided to work with IN in the end. Thus they were both able to enjoy the prize win together rather than solo, which is funny that he wanted to split the meal at the end even though IN has more money than he does.

I do think this IN's and Changbin's light hearted take on the Kpop industry that it is a competitive world and anyone has the chance to obtain. Yet hard work, dedication, talent, and just plain luck play a role into becoming an idol in this idol world.

Mixtape : DominATE Unveil - Cinema by Lee Know & Seungmin

I still haven't changed my theory on this one being a Last of Us type influence. They just wanted to find joy in a dystopian world by putting on their last concert even if no one shows up. This is their Cinema during the end of the world.

Mixtape : DominATE Photo - Escape by Bang Chan & Hyunjin

Mixtape : DominATE Unveil - Escape by Bang Chan & Hyunjin

Wow these photos convinced me more that this is a nod to Fight Club mainly the fact that they might be the same person. Also the photo of them holding hands with the car lights on them reminded me of the ending of Fight Club movie where The Narrator and Marla hold hands. Then we see the clip of them with the chains and it looks like they are on the same left hand gazing at the fish in the tank. We have another photo of the bed scene showing the swap better for Chan cause you can see Hyunjin's better in the Unveil.

Also they are in another dystopian world as well. The fur coats along with Chan and Hyunjin poses remind me of wolves, Wolf's Rain in particular. Which is an older anime about some stray lone wolves trying to find paradise but are being hunted down by the government. Only certain people can see their wolf form and they present as humans.

These are just thoughts and musings. Hopefully the BTS videos will explain the inspo for their music video.

Mixtape : DominATE Photos - Truman by Han & Felix

Mixtape : DominATE Unveil - Truman by Han & Felix

So when I did my initial review I couldn't get a feel of what the music video was going for. After these photos dropped and discussing with my discord friends we like the idea of them being in a dystopian world that AI destroyed similar to the Matrix or Detroit: Become Human video game.

The Extras have this weird red pause button on there backs and also we heard a rewind noise during the trailer. Then all the extras came back to "Life" after being in a Pause mode. Also we see a red square burned in front of Felix as well.

Also to note on their makeup has a silver highlight as well. You can see more in Felix's solo shots on his lip and inner corner of his eye and Han has it present on his cheek as a highlighter.

Now did Felix and Han become True Men by becoming self aware and took control of the droids are start a rebelling like in the Matrix or are they trying to stop one from happening?

Why does it seem like they are besties turn rivals. Fast n the Furious part 100! I also get Baby Driver or Drive when I see Changbin in the car as well. Overall these visuals just tell me the guys are buddies turned rivals for a prize still. I can't wait to see it!

Mixtape : DominATE Unveil - Cinema by Lee Know & Seungmin

The last unveil! I loved this one gave all the post apocalyptic/Last of Us vibes of 2 guys wanting to have a concert one last time before the world ends. I thought it was a nice touch with the poster of their show being thrown out to the world. Whether if anyone shows up isn't their concern.

The last photos from Twitter intel are the couple in the tree and solo man on the cliff. Both show people out in the wilderness but also what happened to the 2nd person in the 2nd photo. We will wait to find out when the music video is revealed.

Now I do think all of these music videos are connected in a unique way. They part of the story line of the world showing how it was prior to apocalyptic (Burn'in Tires), the catalyst that started it all (Truman), initial apocalyptic (Escape) and post apocalyptic (Cinema). Which would then build this world and end with a new album comeback next month.

I also mentioned another theme, this is not my original idea but came from a discussion from my discord. The 4 different types of conflicts: Conflict with Other People (Burn'in Tires), Conflict with Society ((Truman), Conflict with Self (Escape), and Conflict with Nature (Cinema). ALL of the music videos reference either a show or movie in their music video

Mixtape : DominATE Unveil - Escape by Bang Chan & Hyunjin

Wow, this one had a lot of movie references. A lot of people on Twitter were making the reference of Romeo + Juliet, as well as External Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Yet, no one is making the connection to Fight Club. Now I understand why people are making the assumption for R+J cause of the fish tank scene but if you notice they are not looking at each other in that scene at ALL. Their focus is on the goldfish which could have a deeper meaning and we won't get into at the moment cause we will be here for days. Instead the reason why I brought up this scene is the placement of the chain. The Chain placement looks like it is on the same hand similar to how Tyler Durden and The Narrator have the soap burn mark on the same hand in Fight Club.

I see this movie reference way more than Romeo + Juliet, and clearly this was a Hyunjin input. I'm glad he included this love story. I do wish I knew this movie more so I could give more input. External Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Now on to Fight Club movie reference both Chan and Hyunjin are fighting each other similar to how Tyler and Narrator fight each other in the beginning of the movie in the parking lot. Also take note that Chan and Hyunjin continue to switch placement, especially in the bed and the shopping cart scenes. They keep switching locations as if they are the same person just like in Fight Club at the end when the Narrator realizes they are one in the same person. I included other clips that show the mirroring of the images as well. Also note that Hyunjin breaks the red strings tying him down that enwrapped him in Red Lights. I'll keep my analysis to myself for now but that will come later.

These two particular images seem to relate the most to the music video but I do think all of the Twitter Intel was related to Escape but did include everyone else's music videos as well.

Mixtape : DominATE Unveil - Truman by Han & Felix

We got the reveal of Truman which is loosely base on The Truman Show. I do think it's interesting that we see Felix surrounded by people collapsed and with crows in a building with windows. We see Han leaning back in a chair as balancing in between the realms of realties. I do think that the Twitter Intel intending this photos to apply to this m/v we just haven't gotten the scene yet.

I think they are interconnected but not in the same way. Probably for Cinema I'll go into more detail.

Mixtape : DominATE Unveil - Burnin' Tires by Changbin & IN

So my favorite Twitter Intel posted 8 pics with the clue Escape. Some ppl have assumed it's a clue for only one but I've watched this user for some time and they like to mislead at times.

Some thing to note when I watched the Trailer Initially

Tekken inspirations - Round 1, 2 & 3

Reloading, which rewinds the whole trailer to the beginning. That is odd.

CB v IN outfits style are opposite. One is wearing glasses and other isn't. One has a fluffy jacket v leather. One is driving a car v a motorcycle.

They are battling it out in each 'round'. Whether that is a high speed race, running away, and dance/fight battle.

What does it say in that candy bar wrapper. The candy wrapper says something important and has a bunch of zeros.

Is it why are guys are fighting??? Is it money ?

Since the drop for 1st m/v trailer has been released the 1st pic we see a boxing ring and crowd surrounding the fighters from the Twitter Intel. In Round 3 we see both IN and Changbin surrounded by a group of spectators cheering for the dance/fight match in a circle. We also see Changbin deliver a knock out blow via an upper cut in the next clip before it rewinds.

Then we come to the Zorro picture. Now this one evaded me a bit and I did typo to his name by accident which was Zero. Which could allude to the zero we see in the 1st clip of trailer showing a bunch of zeros in the candy wrapper along with a message as well.

Our Maknae and Binnie are in the battle for money I'm assuming but who knows but they are fighting it out Tekken Style. We shall see how the rewind clip plays into the music video.

Number 45 theory

So the number that Chan is referencing in his most recent bubble is the number 45. How did I come up with that well he began bubbling at 4:45 pm KST and took a pause to start up again at 6:45pm KST.

45 in angel numerology means New Beginnings. Does this mean they are going to rewrite the past and sample their own music to create newer sounds. We shall see.

[dsnaxs87]

I was right to suspect this 45 just didn't know it related to the Mixtape 'comeback'.

4 singles but 5 songs on the Mixtape = 45 a new beginning of adulthood.

Lady Gaga Mayhem

Review of Gaga's album is like I was transported into the 80s, and I'm high on coke dancing in the club, but the club is my bed, and I'm drinking coffee. I like all but 1 2 song from the album that are online. Overall, if you want to dance and fall in love, this is the album!

I want to send all the kisses to Gaga's fiancé for encouraging her to make an album. Michael is everything to us, Lil Monsters! Thank you, Michael, for giving Gaga/Stephanie the happiness she deserves. All I wanted her to be was happy since I heard her 1st single Just Dance on the radio back in 2008. I was dancing in the car with my bestie, and this album brought me back to that moment again!

I love Gaga so much! Wow, 2 of my favorite artists came back from 7+ yr hiatus, and I just want the same thing for both of them, be happy.
