This ain't K-Pop, kids. This is Korean indie metal and it rocks hard! MEMI is definitely worth exploring.

I get that it won't hit everyone the same. But I hope there is some music that hits you like this one hits me. Something that makes your heart race and your throat close up and your mouth go funny. I don't know about you, but it's how I know I'm alive.

It's Madden Klass going Beast mode on the drums, and Julien practically *screaming* β€œalways an angel, never a god” at the end of the bridge, and of course the kiss at the end. It's all just so goddamn perfect.

And kudos to Kimmel's crew. The staging, the lighting, the camera work - all terrific. /6

and not just the perfect fucking harmonies. And lord are they perfect!

It’s Phoebe’s little grin when she knocks the first line out of the park. It’s Julien’s little guitar sting after *her* first verse. It’s the whole band grinning and pogoing like they’re having the best time of their lives. /5

As I said, I get emotional about music, particularly when I'm seeing people showing their joy at performing.

So I can’t get through this video without choking up, and not just from the lyrics describing the crippling self-doubt along with soaring self-importance of the narrator... /4

I have been obsessively watching this boygenius video for weeks now, since I started pulling together these posts. I was well aware of the band and had listened to some of their stuff, and liked it just fine. But there is something special about this performance (the SNL one is almost as good). /3

I’m one of those people that can get really emotional about music. The perfect guitar lick, heartfelt lyrics, vocal harmonies – all can leave me with a lump in my throat and unable to talk about what I've just heard. /2
