intro
nexz are a seven-membered global group under jyp entertainment and sony music entertainment japan. their dancing absolutely slays. also in one wise members' words, they are a zoo.
nexz were formed through the competition show nizi project 2 (2023). they released their predebut song miracle (december 2023), debuted in korea with ride the vibe (may 2024), and debuted in japan with keep on moving (august 2024). thus far, they appear to be alternating between korean and japanese releases.
group: nexz (pronounced nex-zee in english; nek-seu-ji in korean; nek-usu-ji in japanese); supposed to mean next generation with z for gen z
fandom: nex2y (pronounced nex-tee, yes we are knockoff nestea); supposed to mean next to you (yay support)

content guide
if you are looking to get all parasocial and brainrotted by the memes you have certainly come to the right place.
first, some good serious official nexz content:
♪ nizi project 2: competition show shenanigans featuring lots of jype propaganda ♪ club nexz: predebut shenanigans ♪ nexz archive: dance slaying performancesssssss; in each archive they collab with well established choreographers, or choreograph it themselves!! ♪ real nexz: their very own variety show with... you guessed it, shenanigans ♪ jyp game caterers: it's iconic i have to put this here
and now master playlists by content:
♪ all variety: a playlist of most of their variety content (i probably missed some) ♪ all behinds: see the group working behind the scenes, or just doing shenanigans ♪ all vlogs: even more shenanigans ♪ all mvs/archives/performance vids: dancing galore ♪ dance practices ♪ highlight medleys ♪ myp: moya entertainment!!! (all the vids he edited/directed) ♪ official stage clips ♪ promos: concept films, nextep, etc ♪ unreleased songs
and some additional fun playlists:
♪ nexz & jype family: interactions galore ♪ step inside: playlists with videos giving a look into how the group works in preparation for comebacks -> recording, choreographing, practicing, etc ♪ raw vocals: a playlist of unfiltered nexz vocals (some do have minor editing/processing; either way, as unfiltered as we're gonna get thus far) ♪ covers: includes both vocals-focused and full stages... probs missed some ngl ♪ singing performances: vocal-focused content ♪ performances: random awards/shows/etc performances and concert stuff (not including music show stages because there are way way way too many i cannot archive them all) ♪ collab stages: interactions galore part 2 ♪ nexz playing instruments: nexz band when???
plus some lovely fandom things:
there's quite a plethora of nexz fan content on many platforms!! this is just a list of some of my favourites: ♪ nexz's music taste: a compilation of songs they've yapped about on bubble ♪ every nexz song but it's only the song's title ♪ nexz brainrot: youtube playlist of fan meme edits ♪ how to take over div1's job and market nexz yourself ♪ nizi project 2, nexz cut: an edit of their survival show focusing only on the members that debuted ♪ check out my nexzoo doodles. and bad edits. and nexz science. thank you love y'all mwahahahaha ('tis a work in progress please send recs ;-;)

THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE DIRECTION I DON’T KNOW WHO THIS “HARRY” PERSON IS GO WATCH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND CLARENCE CLEMONS KISS ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
op is the only valid person i’ve ever met. everyone else needs to come to the light
Okay, but this is really important: Bruce Springsteen occupied this really weird place in music history. His songs were all from this pessimistic, nihilistic view of an America that had let him down:
Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didn’t *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.
Politicians used his music to promote their ‘Murica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. He’s over here asking when we’re going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who weren’t helping the people.
It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jackson’s record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.
Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.
So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.
Passages from American Popular Music by Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman
I used to think that Bruce and Clarence kissing onstage was exuberance, showmanship, and telling racist homophobes to fuck off. Like, they picked up a certain kind of audience and went “Racist homophobes? Not in our house!” And started the kissing then but then I actually looked it up and

It was a story where… we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldn’t have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen
It wasn’t about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage
It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that he’s been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarence’s life and will presumably love him the rest of his own
Clemons said in one interview. “Bruce and I looked at each other and didn’t say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each other’s lives. He was what I’d been searching for.” In another version of the story, Clemons says “He looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.”
I’m having some emotions about it!
“He was elemental in my life,“ Springsteen adds, “and losing him was like losing the rain.”
Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!
We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!
God I’m not okay about it
Now I’m mad that this is not among any of the things I was ever told about this artist.
I knew about this in general (& via all those fabulous photos), but this just adds even more beautiful context <3
Just to add to the pile: this was the cover of Springsteen’s break-through album Born to Run, in 1975:
I mean, will you LOOK at this:
This was the pic chosen for the album cover from an extensive photoshoot, too. A few others:
There’s a lot more online if you search. They’re all pretty amazing. But the photographer is right, the one chosen for the album cover just pops.
