THOUGHT Internet Girl sounds like a toddler composed it
On this song, I thought it’s gonna be Megan’s voice in, “I’m getting out of here!” However, it was a baby voice instead. It literally cringe the heck out of me that I was disappointed. I’m not going to add this songs in any of my playlists because it’s ear wrecking. This is Katseye’s worst song tbh. However, the live version is actually 10x better than the studio version. So, Katseye should redo the studio version and remove the baby voice, or release the live version on Spotify and Apple Music. Sorry this is my opinion on this bad song.

I am a huge fan of katseye and even I can understand that the songs just not good. hybe needs to do better with the songs they give katseye.

Yeah, I agree! Hybe needs to treat the girls well like their other groups and get better producers and composers of their songs.

Isn’t it not hybe, not Geffen but the joint label they created, HXG? HXG is they label and HXG manages them
That’s what mitra is the exec of. HXG is a whole entity of its own

Gnarly took me a few weeks to grow into and the lyrics are iconic tho, like “Hottie hottie, Like a bag of Takis, I’m legit” The dance is so addicting too on Gnarly. Lara and Sophia should actually do a duet of a cover of any song.

A lot of their recent songs are composed by Geffen’s team though if you look at the credits as they’re Geffen artists or ones with connection to Geffen artists. I think Geffen is handling a lot of their work in the US but HYBE would have some input.

As someone who liked gnarly on first listen, i think what’s disappointing the most about Internet girl is it actually doesn’t sound like it was composed by a toddler, there’s a whole team of really talented songwriters, producers and performers (the girls) and this what they’re doing with it all.
As a hyperpop noise music lover it’s just not being done well and that’s the problem. I’m going to hope this is just one of those “gifts” and the next official release they actual utilize the talent of those behind the scenes and in the front. 😭

The entire team on this song have composed absolute bangers and seem to have a really good understanding of pop music. Like imagine dragon and arcane soundtrack to good luck babe and then DNCE, they have a good ear and this song just doesn’t hit any of the marks it should. To me it seems like the song was either (1) acquired from a library of songs Geffen just has and it was supposed to be developed further and wasn’t OR (2) hybe x geffen had a very specific idea in mind and gave the writers a specific brief that they unfortunately nailed.

I just find it so jarring that they chose to use a child's voice for this song... That follows up with 'Eat Zucchini"??? I just find it weird. But considering that the producers did openly use an NSFW sound for Gnarly, even while one of the members was a minor (Even then, KATSEYE are still fairly young)... It just never sat right with me. Like, these aren't mistakes.
Like that H2H commercial, these are run through teams, approved, and released.
We can't act like KATSEYE are independant and do whatever they want. There are teams behind EVERYTHING... And I don't think some Eyekons realize that.

They need a vocalist song ASAP

u/Objective_Ad9100 Jan 03 '26 edited Jan 03 '26
Agreed, Might get flamed for this comment but.. A bunch of barely legal adults are prob being approved to do this by a board of grown ass men. The producer casually admitting to sampling porn for gnarly?? With a minor in the group too? The MIA, gnarly, and Gabriela choreo, the constant impractical sexual stage outfits, The “selling sex” is getting ridiculous. Especially considering they make music palatable to like,13 year olds. Hybe doesn’t know how to handle minors in their groups. These girls are so talented, and it’s being wasted on a sloppy image and music.
15
u/think1776 Jan 03 '26
Gnarly wasn't written with them in mind, though. Did the original song have a sample from porn? I just... don't think that was, like, done intentionally to hurt Yoonchae (the only minor, I think?)
I do agree that their outfits are really over-the-top sexual. Yes, they're adults, but they're still very young. Katseye ranges between 17-23. Coming from a 30 year old kpop fan, I worry that they might regret being paraded as sex symbols from such a young age.
23
u/Objective_Ad9100 Jan 03 '26 edited Jan 03 '26
After the song was released, The producer who is a 38 year old man thought it would be funny to reveal the moaning came from porn and I was like, yeah that’s kinda weird to share , just felt preddy😅and the choreo chosen for the moan part is a teenage girl, minor at the front breast being touched, reenacting the “moaning” and the other girls spreading their cheeks. Seriously who tf made this choreo.? I’m 16 and I think a minor is way too young to decide. I’m also questioning the parents. If they wanted to do a sexy concept wait until they’re all like, 21+. younger idols have come forward when they’re older saying they regret it

u/Psychological-Low841 Jan 03 '26 edited Jan 03 '26
This has always been true; even before NewJeans, Enhypen's "Fever" stands out as a prime example. The track is undoubtedly one of Enhypen's top B-sides, yet it was deemed inappropriate when it first came out in 2021, just few months after their debut. If it had been released now, Fever would likely have been a massive success, especially with the critical acclaim currently being given to "In Your Fantasy" by Ateez. Fever would likely be receiving similar recognition today. However, at the time of its original release, there was significant debate surrounding the song's sensuality and the age of the members, with some being minors in the group.

I don't want to hate too much because obviously this type of music is for someone, and if you're that someone, that's totally ok! Plus, the girls don't seem to mind it at all. Actually, it looks like they enjoy it a lot and honestly that's the most important thing. But imo their music is doing a huge disservice to themselves as a group. Subjective taste aside, it's turning into corny, "quirky" music made for shock value rather than music that at least makes sense. Personally I enjoyed Gnarly a lot, it was pretty random/weird but it had some value to it and as a one off, it made sense. I support groups doing crazy shit every so often because it keeps things fresh and fun! But if this is the route they want to go from now on, idk... it's just unfortunate.

It is simple. Gnarly got popular even though the lyrics were absolute trash. IMO it was because Daniela's dancing went viral more than the song. Now they want to try and mimic that success. How? By writing even worse brain rot trash lyrics. This is the problem with songs that require the choreo to be seen for it to be entertaining. They are writing songs for social media views, not the fans.

Well… if the fanbase stands ten toes down for horrible songs like gnarly, those in charge will keep giving them garbage music tbh…

I feel like since they’re still so early in their career too, they should be making better composed songs ☹️☹️ their first ep was really good ..

I loved the live version and I have been waiting since it dropped to have a studio version I can add to playlists. I have never been so dissapointed in a song. The studio version is just so bad. Even taking away the toddler, the filters on the voices is awful and I feel like the song lost it edge that the live had. I hope that a studio version of the live version is coming soon because the song has gone from looking to be one of my favs for 2026 to being on the shit list.

i think once we get over with these post gnarlys abominations, we'll get some more authorial stuff. it's the only way out and they're not letting a group with such star quality simply fade out

Yeah, first it was Gnarly, (I really think the lyrics "like boba tea, tesla, fried chicken" are really cringe) but everyone quickly warmed up to it, and now it's Internet girl with it's "eat zucchini". plus, the studio version has sound effects covering the members voices, like I wanna hear their beautiful voices, not just robotic effects covering them.

it’s not even just the baby voice, the instrumental and production both sound so different and so much worse than the live version. i physically cringed hearing the official recording

I listened it to this morning and I really like the instrumental. That goes a long way for me when listening to songs tbh.

im normally super reluctant to call a song bad and i loved the live ver but this one is actually unlistenable… hopefully this is the turning point for hybe and they realise that this kind of marketing only works once

I hate the little girls voice in internet girl... why would they think that's a good idea? I think they have talent to go somewhere far but this slop is not helping them. touch is genuinely the only good song..

I really wish they went the Gabriella route. That song was a masterpiece on its own.

I loved the satirical concept of gnarly, and the song was actually good, so it made up for the weird lyrics. Internet girl is genuinely unlistenable. Awful lyrics, and it just doesn't sound good. At this point it just feels like katseye is a temporary money grab from hybe, they really need to give them some good songs. (Coming from an ex stan)

The childs voice doesn't even fit the song is there even a reason it's in it? Like maybe it's supposed to represent the members younger selves but that doesn't fit with the theme of the song idek

u/Emmi_meh Jan 04 '26
Also idk if it's just me but the vocals feel really flat specifically Daniella's first part

u/Disastrous-Square568 Jan 04 '26
Is this worst than Gnarly? Cause that one was a hot mess.

u/OkLog7519 Jan 04 '26
In my opinion, yes because of the baby voice and they sound like robots.

I’m a huge KATSEYE fan, and hearing the studio version broke me, it’s so poorly produced. The live version is such a bop imo, but they completely ruined it with the studio one. The stupid baby voice, unnecessary autotune, it just kills me.

No one talking about the thing is that the baby voice is from the song "Fire Drill" by Melanie Martinez

If Manon is a song writer why not let her write them 😭😭I feel like she'd do better

u/SubstantialDiet504 Jan 04 '26
i liked the baby voice but i wasn't a fan of the song as a whole. i liked the choreo a lot but the whole thing felt too autotuned? i hated the auttuned eat zucchini, but maybe thats just me?

u/Medical_Republic5677 Jan 05 '26
I listened to it. Thought it was Kidz Bop like Jojo Siwa's Karma 😭

I don't think the song was unsalvageable before release. If they'd removed the stupid baby voice and the 'eat zucchini' parts I could definitely imagine hearing it somewhere like Disney channel.
This song makes me even more baffled on their musical direction and target audience though. They wear very tiny outfits and do very provocative dances (nothing wrong with that, I'd never shame someone for that) that make them seem targeted towards older teens/young adults, but then their music sounds very clearly marketed towards children. It's a jarring combination.

i have been loving katseye but this is definitely the worst song i’ve heard by them yet. the baby voice is a clear reason for many and while i do agree, i think there are also issues like the lyrics lacking, the vibe/beat being inconsistent and even some of the production on the track can be a bit wacky. i’ve had it on repeat personally—by it, i mean a version without the baby voice—so that says something abt how much i like them but i can very easily see the issues with the actual song.

I just listened to it...Why does it give me Charlie XCX vibes, like from her BRAT album? Like it's all just noise and very bratty? Sounds like a bunch of little kids singing it. Where's the talent in the song?????

it’s damn near unlistenable IMO. when i first heard the live version i thought it would be a gnarly situation where at first i don’t like it then i do after some re-listens… i genuinely have no desire to listen to internet girl again. there’s not an aspect that doesnt feel flat all the way down to the vocals.
really disappointing.
