Overall Meaning

Hoot by Girlsโ€™ Generation is a catchy pop song with playful lyrics that is an ode to a secret code that girls use among themselves to have fun. The song starts with Tiffany's Hoot, which serves almost as a call to arms, and then Taeyeon takes over with her striking vocals, singing โ€œNun kkamppak hal sai neon tto Check it out!โ€ (Get ready to blink your eyes again, check it out!). The song urges girls to be on alert, telling them to look out for girls who are too pretty or too fake (โ€œJina ganeun yeojadeul geuman jom bwa, Anin cheok motdeureun cheok gashi bakhin kouseum,โ€), and acknowledges the pressure that girls are under to keep up appearances. Even the title Hoot is a reference to a secretive little giggle, almost like a wink to each other, to combat the challenges they face.


The song seems to be an empowering anthem about girls finding strength in themselves despite superficial expectations, as Tiffany sings, โ€œIsanghae down, down, downโ€ (Don't be down, down, down). She reminds them in a refreshing way that girls should let their natural beauty shine through, rather than trying so hard to fit in. There is also a lot of wordplay in the lyrics, which can be interpreted as playful references or instructions about how to navigate the obstacles that girls often face. Overall, Hoot is an upbeat, cheerful song that encourages female sisterhood and acknowledges the difficulties that girls experience.

I remember 10yrs ago I had to hide my love for Girls Generation because at the time listening to kpop and jpop was weird. I'm glad everyone can freely enjoy this genre now .

@fritz2128

Sh*t, I need to appriciate them before, but i didn't know kpop until it was too late to realize

@mephiz1919

I feel yah bro! In 2011 a lot of people didn't know GG or Jpop and I felt embarassed everytime I had people stare at my computer screen. It didn't stop me from liking them, but today it is so much easier to access and more known and accepted by the younger generation.

@adlan1270

Yeah i remember when i came back from school, i search in internet what news about k-pop

@themagniranthine

same ahaha, i remember when everyone bullies me saying kpop boys are too "girly", but it's quite funny how they now turned into a kpop stan themselves. karma is real

@lunoreve8626

back then when most of kpop listeners were also jpop listeners haha man time flies so fast..
