Zimzalabim is for intellectuals: A Thread. https://twitter.com/jiwoncte/status/1265652081831981056">https://twitter.com/jiwoncte/...

once you guys stop being embarrassed for liking things that are disliked by the majority and finally admit that zimzalabim is red velvet’s best title track only then can we move forward as society. rv are kpop& #39;s most musically interesting girl group and zimzalabim proved that.

musically: a breakthrough; a fun fresh concept that matches well with the sound that it was going for. the song literally was produced to resemble the experience of being on a rollercoaster, with twists & turns in sounds & auras. amazing vocals, that are layered beautifully.

lyrically: there are powerful lyrical themes of falling in love with oneself & believing in your potential. adam smith wrote a fantastic answer with a deeper lyrical understanding of the song here: https://www.quora.com/Whats-your-opinion-about-Zimzalabim-music-video-by-Red-Velvet-K-pop-group/answer/Adam-Smith-3325?ch=10&share=c69682d1&srid=gOWH">https://www.quora.com/Whats-you...

conceptually: the underlying theme is a rollercoaster in reference to their past eras. but they aren& #39;t just referencing their past eras, it& #39;s deeper than that. the rollercoaster plays a huge symbolic significance of what each era represented in their 5 year journey with reveluvs

reve is french for dream and festival represents a celebration of sorts. we& #39;re being invited to celebrate the wild and exciting ride that has been red velvet& #39;s career thus far with its various changes, challenges, ups and downs as they& #39;ve lived out their dreams.

tldr: what makes zimzalabim work and the reason people are threatened by it is the fact that the song ignored the traditional structure of songs but pulled it off in the way only rv can. now yeri said stream! end of thread. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍🏼" title="Thumbs up (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up (medium light skin tone)">
