Most experimental title song of the three SM girl groups (SNSD, F(x), Red Velvet)

SNSD – I GOT A BOY

f(x) – NU ABO

Red Velvet – Zimzalabim

original post: theqoo

1. The only song I don’t listen to among Red Velvet’s title songs is Zimzalabim

2. I think these are the three worst title songs of SM girl groups

3. I hate RBB more than Zimzalabim…. RBB’s choreography is so bad….

4. When I listened to Zimzalabim for the first time, I was shocked… What is this song? This feeling

5. I just like Nu ABO..

6. But all three songs are good. Who can digest these kinds of concepts except for SM girl groups?

7. Nu ABO is one of the few SM songs that has the YG vibe

8. I don’t know why ‘I GOT A BOY’ is experimental, and ‘Nu ABO’ is even addictive and cool, but I know that ‘Zimzalabim’ is experimental, but it’s not too bad..

9. Nu ABO is a popular song

10. I don’t know because I haven’t listened to Zimzalabim, but I love I GOT A BOY and NU ABO..

[Vagus]

nu ABO is such a good song

[rowanokke]

STOP THE ZIMZALABIM HATE OMG 

[Gerimolda]

Is "experimental" an euphemism for a mess?

I still like IGAB. Never listened to Nu abo fully and Zimzalabim... Jesus Christ O.o 

[MicrowavedTeaforYourSoul]

I thought they would choose "Red Light" for f(x)

[A Hamster Named Loneliness]

I love NU ABO, I Got a Boy eventually grew on me (but I still hate the beginning and the part of the song where someone makes that groaning "uhh" sound), and I hate Zimzalabim. 

[Solemn_Penance]

8. I don’t know why ‘I GOT A BOY’ is experimental

... seriously?

[deliriousness]

NU ABO is my favorite f(x) title track and I think it is the Representative song for the group, it doesn’t sound like any other song, but it’s so perfectly f(x)

i think igab is the most experimental, it’s ambitious, and I genuinely enjoyed it when it was released, but I no longer enjoy it. 

Zimzalabim is a product of IGAB’s legacy, the transitions are much more seamless, but funnily enough it is more obnoxious and headache inducing.

I think at the time, it was one of the first few songs (or the actual first) that had different sections with different genre. 

After listening to Blackpink's HYLT, DDDD etc... makes IGAB sound unexperimental. 

I love IGAB, it was a jam but I remember people were hating it for sounding disjointed.

nu ABO is awesome! and when I realized it meant "new blood (A/B/O)"... my mind was blown. F(x) was new blood back then, they weren't anything like any other groups. 

[hee_woo]

I love NU ABO so much.

Nanananana nanansnqnananana nu aey bee oh rules

 

I can't be able to finish zimzalabim lmao. I chose that as the most experimental as half of igab is bop.

[Iljin Oppa]

IGAB is actually quite a cohesive song excluding the rock bridge. It's more complex than experimental.

I can't forgive SM for releasing ZZB, if they released Umpah Umpah instead, 2019 would've been RV's.

Nu ABO just sounds like a regular song with the way Kpop songs are produced nowadays.

[SLY]

i actually really like nu abo

[spopo]

tbh the only experimental one is igab because of the pretty intense genre switches.  The others aren't as catchy but that doesn't make them "experimental."

[Elscian]

Igab is experimental with a direction (not a mess fest, you can tell what they were  trying to do).

While many of of SM's more recent 'experimental' songs sound like confused and disjointed productions.

[canis lupus]

i would have thought i would see Red Light here

but yeah, at the time, Nu ABO was not like any other kpop song!

[starsocks]

I like Nu Abo in a sort of ironic way I guess(?) Like I'll bop to it and then ask myself why

I'll say zimzalabim for most out there and IGAB for my favourite

[Aegyo]

Every f(x) title song was hella experimental.... cannot even choose

[Matthew]

it's IGAB and it's a masterpiece

zimzalabim is a bop btw idc idc idc

[monraine]

I love NU ABO.. I used to be obsessed with this song back in high school

[rinrin]

I genuinely love all three :0 zimzalabim took a while to grow on me but it's so catchy 

[neojasnee]

Nu abo is forever a bop

[eunheart]

It's IGAB (the hype for it) and Nu Abo for me. Zimzalabim......

Tbh, f(x) in general was hella experimental

[Oli London]

I am so sorry Red Velvet but if I wanted to hear simlish then I would play the Sims 3.

IGAB is so catchy.

And Nu ABO was just, sorry not sorry, but everything F(x) did was iconic and left an impression on me.
