to the best of my knowledge, they've never explained what they intend to convey with the use of red and blue, and I haven't seen any fan theories either (although I'm sure there are some out there).
This is my theory (still evolving):
Blue represents stability, loyalty, safety, comfort, calm, trust. But when everything is blue without any red, it's also boring, suffocating, restrictive.
Red represents excitement, energy, power, sex, passion. But, alone, it's danger, threat, overwhelm, lack of control, anger, pain.
In more recent MVs, there seems to be more of an equal balance between the red and the blue, like they're getting the balance closer to what they want in their life and work as well.

I've watched the Karma trailer a few times and scrolled through endless gifs on Tumblr already and I am pleased.
Delightfully Aussie bit at the end with #BangChan's "hip hip"
(I've heard that when one person says "hip hip" and everyone responds with "hooray" it's an Aussie thing that can mystify non-Aussies. I genuinely have no idea if this is true.)
The #skzRed and #skzBlue is subtle this time but jumps out at me because I'm looking for it, I guess. The main thing is how integrated the two colours are now. No longer mostly-red or mostly-blue. Instead there's an even mix of both. Like they've found a balance.

Listening to "Railway" again and noticed the line "we're staring at the ticket that says one trip."
It made me think of the bit in #Levanter where #BangChan, #Seungmin and #Han are in the elevator, Seungmin is holding the ticket "to new world," and the other two are looking at it.
So I had to go back to "Levanter" MV to check it out again. It is a one-way ticket. (Okay not exactly the same as one-trip but close enough.)
Is the "Railway" bit intended to be a subtle call-back to the "Levanter" elevator scene?
Contrasting trudging up the stairs on his own, versus taking the elevator (even if it's a shitty and dangerous elevator) with other members of the skz blue team.
Bang Chan does like to put subtle references and hints into his work, and doesn't like to explain them. I guess sometimes the references are deliberate?? And other times it's just coincidence.

I cannot believe how many romantic and shippy references are squished into this one video, and how many of them are way more obvious now that I've been marinating in the #skzLore for over a year.
However I am a teensy bit embarrassed to point out all the references etc. So I'll just drop some more screencaps and make heart-eyes at them.

✂️ #BangChan talking about his coloured lamp and the colours associated with specific songs
* "District 9" is green
* "Mirror" is changing like a rainbow
* "Awaken" is red
* "Rock" is yellow
* "You're Doing Well" is blueI'm not sure which song is "You're Doing Well" because there isn't a skz song with that name in English, but I think it might be "Grow Up"

what the fuck
what the fucking fuck
i thought this was some kinda augmented reality thing at the #skzDominateSaoPaulo show
but it's ... an inflatable??
the way it writhes as it inflates. this is amazing and creepy and i love it so much
(also noting the heavy emphasis on red and blue, with the blue costumes and the strong red lighting. it's like the combination of the red and the blue is what creates the giant)
(at some point I will get back to the red and blue analysis because it's still simmering in my brain)

Back in #skz's rookie year, when #I_N was first getting a bit obsessed with accessories, there was a particular oval glass pendant necklace that he bought in a bunch of different colours. The other members used to borrow (or steal) them quite often.
At some point I'd like to figure out how many of them there actually were, and see if the colours match up at all with the egg colours from Giant.
Seems unlikely, but not impossible
I know he had black, purple, and red for sure. I'm going to keep an eye out for more

I'm forming a theory about what red and blue represent in #skzLore. I had started a # skzRedBlue hashtag a while ago but it didn't seem to be quite the right hashtag, so I got rid of it.
Going to reinstitute it, sort of. But as separate hashtags #skzRed and #skzBlue, probably as replacements for the blue team and red team tags. Because the teams aren't quite so fixed, maybe, but the colors seem to be fairly consistent in their associations.
I want to collect some more data points and smoosh them around in my brain for a bit before attempting to share it fully.
But the gist is:
Blue = security, stability, peace, loyalty, reliabilty, trust. might also be too safe, not exciting enough
Red = danger, risk, pain, loss, but also pleasure, sexytimes, excitement.
Both are essential. The balance varies from person to person, and through the seasons and events of life.

Okay it is almost impossible to get a clear image of that (blue-eyed?) wolf running through the snow, but ...
IS THAT ONE OF CHANNIE'S FUCKING CHROME HEARTS BRACELETS THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON ITS PAW?!!!
I cannot tell if the wolf is actually intended to have four glowing eyes (one eye representing each member of #skzBlue team??) or if it's just the way it's animated with overlapping frames. But it was pretty much impossible to grab a screen of this wolf where it *doesn't* appear to have four eyes.
(Of course I am going to overanalyse this out the wazoo, because this is what I do. If the ferret only has 2 eyes and the wolf has 4 eyes, it makes me think of how the skz blue team seems to be more of a solid and established unit in prior #skzlore, whereas #skzRed team seems more fragmented and fragile.)
Happily reunited in their furry coats reminiscent of the wolf-pelt outfits from "Wolfgang". They originally had to perform that song without #Hyunjin, but made sure to present a reworked version that included him as soon as they could.

I have some vague memories of the dual moon imagery in skz videos *before* #Levanter, but I don't know if that's really a thing or I'm muddling my memories.
I want to go back and watch again *right now* but I have other things to do this evening, alas.

Hey in the movie The Dark Crystal, there's a cataclysmic event in which the crystal cracked, and a lot of things in that world cracked or split in two at the same time.
Their planet originally had one moon, and it split into two moons at the time of the cataclysm.
Then, when the shard of the cracked crystal was restored, the split parts were healed and recombined.
Like how the red & blue lights danced over the water and then recombined into a single light again as part of the HOP logo splash.

There's some other intentionally placed #skzLore that I've seen other fans get into, such as the multiple universes, evil Felix, the keys (from Clé series), probably others. But I haven't really approached those rabbit holes yet.
I'm a little freaked out by the levels, to be honest. I've been obsessed with #skz for over a year now and it feels like I've barely scratched the surface.
Still only halfway through 2019 in my watch-through of all the available livestream recordings.
Nowhere near organised or skilled-up enough yet to start making compilation videos (although I have plans and they keep growing).
Still have a bunch of fic ideas that are nothing more than sketches and rough outlines.

#BangChan has hinted pretty heavily that the #skzBlue team and #skzRed team lore drops are intentional.
He does not like to explain any of the messages behind any of the music or the MVs that he creates, and prefers it when fans build and share their own theories.
I don't genuinely believe that my other special skz obsessions (#skzSignificantJewellery, #skzHankyCode #skzNiceWeather, #skzDriving, etc) are deliberate attempts to communicate hidden messages to fans or anyone else.
But it does seem fairly clear that the blue and red teams have some kind of meaning intentionally placed there by skz members. Perhaps with a coherent underlying concept that makes sense, to Bang Chan at least, even if it makes no sense to anyone else.
It's a fun puzzle to turn over in my mind.

#skzRed team and #skzBlue team were explicitly defined last year in #skzCode 59, part 1 of #FallFieldDay.
:youtube: https://youtu.be/g5FGuZZJy3A
The HOP album also came in red and blue versions, with the members' solos mostly (but not entirely) color-coded to match their teams.
The exception was Railway (coded red). If there's a secret reason why it was the exception, I haven't figured it out yet. Graphic designer missed the memo??
The MVs for the blue team's solos all included a #skzBlueMoon or, in #LeeKnow's case, a #BlueCake. (I'm counting that cake because it's round like a moon and also 'mooning' and 'cake' can both be associated with butts, so there.)
The MVs for the red team's solos did *not* have a common item appearing in all of them, as far as I can see. But the recent fan meeting featured a #skzRedMoon in the stage backgrounds for at least 3 of the songs. For this to be a deliberate red team reference, there would have to be a 4th occurrence that I missed, and I'm sure it's there somewhere.

A bit of background...
#skzBlue team is #BangChan, #LeeKnow, #Han, #Seungmin
#skzRed team is #Changbin #Hyunjin #Felix #I_N
Parts of the #skzLore may have been hinted at before #Levanter, but the 2 teams of 4 wouldn't have been part of the hinted lore before that, because there was a 9th member.
(I guess it's technically possible that there were hints before Levanter, but if that was the case, then #skzExMember would have been in one of the teams (unbalancing the numbers) or he would have been *excluded* from the teams (which seems like something the rest of skz would never do).)

No #skzRed team connected sequence in that same video as far as I can tell.
They come out of the elevator at the end in order, #skzBlue team followed by red team.
Apart from that, red team's parts in the song itself are not connected into a whole. Which is also consistent with #Levanter, where blue team seemed like a cohesive unit and red team was more scattered.
A part of me is tempted to go back to #Hellevator and watch all the videos in sequence again from the beginning. I know they've dropped lots of hints at the #skzLore from the beginning, without ever properly spelling it all out. Wondering how much more of it I could piece together now.

The algorithm knows how to keep me hooked.
I may have completed the #skzSignificantJewellery mission, but that just means I have more time to get obsessed by whatever's going on with #skzBlue team and #skzRed team
I just noticed that the blue team leads the whole elevator-based sequence of the "Stray Kids" song, calling back to how the elevator was their thing in #Levanter.
:youtube: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxdt7my2gdQB1SqZzk7HllwgObZDWzMRlb
(Hey uh also it's two different elevators: an old-fashioned #MinSung elevator and a more modern #SeungChan elevator. Hmm.)

#skz5Clock things I want to remember ...
- Seo #Changbin #FlaggingBlackRight (heavy SM bottom) hell yes more fodder for the Solo-Swap-Is-Really-a-Top/Bottom-Swap theory (as posited on @ChickenRPF) - #skzHankyCode #skzSoloSwaps
- #LeeKnow, #BangChan and #Seungmin carrying their #skzoo s in baby carriers on their backs during the final act
- #PuppyM trying to pick a fight with Changbin as his last action before leaving the stage (he wants some of that #minhandling, apparently)
- Ahhhh Changbin's #AsWeAre was so damn good, I need to find the lyrics for his rap, but also his singing was heavenly
- Lots of #skzRedMoon imagery for #skzRed team, maybe to make up for how they dropped the ball on the solo MVs?? (because #skzBlue team all featured the blue moon (or blue cake) in their solo MVs). I know for sure there were red moons in Cover Me and Voices, and I *think* maybe in #IAmYou as well? There should have been at least one more red-moon song (one for each member of the red team). I suspect that there *was* one more and I missed it.
- No #HoldMyHand because #Felix wasn't there
- Felix's surprise voice message towards the end 🥲

Huh I'm pretty sure that's #BangChan's favorite leather jacket that #LeeKnow is wearing in this scene from On Track.
I wonder if #YouthByLeeKnow is part of the same universe?? Because he's helping to run a bingo event at a school during that one, and he gets a blue cake thrown at him. And apparently the blue cake is a recurring symbol that appears through these skz movie club videos. Now I gotta watch them all again (a terrible hardship).

For #KpopMonday #SkoolLuvAffair
It's me, so of course it's #StrayKids with #MixtapeOnTrack
In which #Hyunjin and #LeeKnow are supposedly competing for the heart of the same girl. But it kinda seems like Hyunjin is pining for Lee Know.

I realised that a big part of my ongoing fascination with Stray Kids is that my mind sees them as an intricate puzzle to solve.
Hence the deep-dive analysis of their hanky code signalling, their signficant jewellery, and every potentially shippy interaction that they have with each other.
This fascination started because their music is also so varied, layered, intricate. There's a lot that can be picked apart, and a lot that's put there intentionally. Then when I discovered all the extra content that they put out, that fascination multiplied.
Which is to say: my mind has still been paying attention to the skz puzzles even when I haven't been posting about them here.
Yes there is a #skzBlueMoon in #BangChan's solo video too, but not in #LeeKnow's. (Lee Know has someone throwing a round #BlueCake at him, and he ducks so that it misses him, but no blue moon that I can see. Although I amuse myself by thinking of the connection between mooning, cake, and butts.)
Anyway the #skzBlue team is mirroring the #Levanter MV in their solo MVs, with the core trio of Bang Chan, #Han and #Seungmin all including the blue moon in their solo MVs, and Lee Know on the outer again, but still associated with them with his blue cake.
The #skzRed team does not seem to have any particular red symbol connecting their solo MVs. (Having said that, #Changbin's video is so fucking dark omg what video editor is responsible for that mess.)
Do I want my mind to let go of trying to solve some of these skz puzzles? I don't know. Maybe, a little?? but I still find it fun.

Which is to say: my mind has still been paying attention to the skz puzzles even when I haven't been posting about them here.
Yes there is a #skzBlueMoon in #BangChan's solo video too, but not in #LeeKnow's. (Lee Know has someone throwing a round #BlueCake at him, and he ducks so that it misses him, but no blue moon that I can see. Although I amuse myself by thinking of the connection between mooning, cake, and butts.)
Anyway the #skzBlue team is mirroring the #Levanter MV in their solo MVs, with the core trio of Bang Chan, #Han and #Seungmin all including the blue moon in their solo MVs, and Lee Know on the outer again, but still associated with them with his blue cake.
The #skzRed team does not seem to have any particular red symbol connecting their solo MVs. (Having said that, #Changbin's video is so fucking dark omg what video editor is responsible for that mess.)
Do I want my mind to let go of trying to solve some of these skz puzzles? I don't know. Maybe, a little?? but I still find it fun.

uhoh too late
✂️ red and blue moons combining at the end of #levanter
The whole of Levanter is essentially the red and blue teams.

Meeting cancelled :success:
Okay so.
#skzCode #FallFieldDay #skzRed team:
- #Hyunjin
- #I_N
- #Felix
- #Changbin#skzBlue team:
- #BangChan
- #Seungmin
- #LeeKnow
- #HanThe solo song sticker colours all match the field day colours too, *except* Railway is red instead of blue. It feels like maybe it's an exception because it's horny, and Bang Chan has a thing about red in that context. #RailwayByBangChan
The three OT8 songs are split. #WalkinOnWater is red. #BounceBack & #UFeatTablo are both blue.
Bounce Back is mostly Han, so that makes sense that it's on the blue side.
I *think* U is mostly Bang Chan.
Walkin On Water seems like a fairly evenly balanced #3racha production.
The red and blue lore goes back to the #CléSeries at least (or possibly earlier??)
#SkzHOP logo release with the blue & red lights dancing around each other then combining:

This is important #skzLore ahaha no I'm just insane.
ANYWAY.
#skzEggs gem colours
- Black: #BangChan
- Light blue: #Hyunjin
- Amber: #Felix
- Dark teal: #I_N
- Red: #Changbin
- Light green: #Han
- Brown: #Seungmin
- Jade green: #LeeKnowOkay so I *think* this is what's happening.
Innie found the giant egg that he held aloft with his gorgeous buff body thank you video creators I am very happy about that.
The giant egg gave Innie the glowing red cracks, and made it so that he could pass some kind of energy or knowledge on to the others.
They took this energy and shot off to find their own eggs.
They transform into the snazzy black outfits, I think this might be an internal world?? because they're switching between those and the miner outfits.
When they brought all the eggs together, the eggs activated and formed a big weird steampunk egg that Channie then put on the pedestal.
The weird steampunk egg matures and gives them the power to fly through space looking for something else.
And also transforms them into the white-outfit skz. Do they have additional powers? They look pretty. That is an important power of course.
The giant figure above them is not identifiably any one of them. Maybe that's the point. That the 8 little miner ants combine to make a giant powerful lightning person.
