5. Describe how you were impacted by the new genre:
Even though this genre is not unique to me, I had never heard a song until "Film Out" was released. This is a genre that almost always deals with love, and it almost always has a well-known author. Regarding ballads, romantic lyrics are vital because most of them portray a sentimental story in short stanzas.
6. Explanation of why you would be open to hearing more music from this genre:
I'd want to hear more songs because the music is soothing. While the purpose and form of ballads have evolved, we eventually
identify all verses with some storytelling. A ballad, for example, can be a long, melancholy love song or a humorous, playful poem.
Said BTS' "Film Out" is a song about heartbreak. The vocalist laments that the woman he loves is no longer a part of his life in the song thesis sentiment. The suggestion is that they are most likely no longer together, not
that she is dead. The lyrics are also based on the well-worn concept of the narrator experiencing or imagining that his ex is present, even though she is not.
Now, the reason we call this a "well-worn motif" is that there are a lot of songs that are based on the same type of story. Barely a week before the release of "Film Out," Justin Bieber released a song called "Ghost" (2021). However, in the case of BTS, it appears that the lads go out of their way to show, metaphorically, that they are in emotional "pain," i.e., heartbroken. As a result, the singer chooses to collect "all the memories stored in his heart" of his ex, condense them into a single mental image, and then daydream as if she is present.
This song is from BTS's upcoming compilation album "BTS, the Best," featuring primarily Japanese songs. This is the project's lead single, the only new composition in the collection.
At the beginning of April 2021, South Korean boy band BTS, better known as the Bangtan Boys, released a new single named "Film Out." The song will be on the group's next Japanese album, "BTS, The Best," and in the Japanese film "SIGNAL The Movie Cold Case Investigation Unit," released on June 16th. The album will be released after the band's "Map of the Soul: The Journey."
Jungkook, Jin, V, RM, Suga, J-Hope, and Jimin are the seven members of BTS who have become so popular in recent years that they have been invited to play at the 2021 Grammy Awards. BTS has a sizable fan base; many like guessing the hidden meaning behind their emotionally charged lyrics.
Members of Bangtan take on the identities of fictional characters and tackle complex topics and subjects pertinent to present times, such as domestic violence, in the band's secret realm, known as the Bangtan Universe. Many fans pointed out similarities between the music video and other Bangtan Universe content, like the 2018 smash song "Fake Love" after the release of "Film Out." The link between these two videos triggered fan speculation on social media about the hidden meanings in BTS' most recent single.
Many fan speculations about BTS' "Film Out" revolve around the plot shown in "Fake Love," this isn't only because many of the photos and situations are identical. One of the eerily similar scenes is a scenario in which Jin and Jungkook both sprint toward the camera as though escaping something dangerous. One Twitter user shared photographs of the two band members mid-run from "Fake Love" and "Film Out." Underneath these shots were two other images, each featuring various sand-filled hourglasses, a similarity that
other users quickly pointed out.
Another fan idea, according to Teen Vogue, incorporates themes from Lewis Carroll's "Alice Through the Looking Glass." Jin flees from what looks to be the same chamber devastated by a blast in "Fake Love" in "Film Out." Fans believe this alludes to Alice's encounter with the Red Queen in Carroll's best-
selling novel when she tells her, "You must run at least twice as fast if you want to get somewhere else!" Many fans speculated on Twitter that "Film

Out" is a parallel realm to "Fake Love," similar to how Alice discovers an alternate reality in Lewis Carroll's book.
As fans discover additional links between "Film Out" and other songs/stories that make up the Bangtan Universe, theories abound.
Not all ballads are songs; they are a type of narrative verse that can be poetic or musical. Although many poems contain stories, this is not a genre requirement. A lot of lyrical ballads are slow and passionate. Traditionally, a ballad with lyrics follows a pattern of rhymed quatrains. This means that the first and third lines of each four-line grouping will rhyme, or the second and fourth lines will rhyme. A ballad might be based on a true story from the songwriter's life, a fictional setting with imaginary characters, or a historical or current event. Poems can
take on a variety of moods, from severe to funny to mournful to mysterious. Multiple tones can be found in many great ballads, sometimes even within the exact phrase. Many musical ballads recount their narrative in the verses, then return to a repeating chorus or even a single repeated line in the choir. Other poems, such as Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," return to melodic elements but do not include a repeating lyrical theme. The term "incremental
reception" refers to the technique of telling stories mixed with recurrent themes or songs.
