Skool Luv Affair still had strong hip-hop elements, but with the integration of the pop genre. One could even describe some of the songs in this album as having a R&B vibe. Previously, their songs had been heavily hip-hop influenced. The switch to pop and a more preppy visual, via school uniforms, really set the vibe and concept they wanted to showcase in this album. BTS’ members have never missed their mark when addressing the people who listen to their music ever since they debuted. They never forget that not only are they expressing their thoughts, wishes, and fears with us, they are also a voice which allows us to be heard. Regardless of when more people started to listen, the whole point of BTS delivering this music was to send out a message that people could relate to. They have always stayed true to themselves, speaking out about what they know and have experienced. They express exactly how they feel. Therein lies the reason why so many feel incredibly connected to every lyric they present to the world. They speak to our hearts. This album was no exception. Although it does have a few songs that speak of crushes and love, the boys found a way to make it their own and to keep their voice intact. 6
