MINISODE 2: THURSDAY'S CHILD
MAY 9 2022 | 4TH MINI ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: GOOD BOY GONE BAD
'Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child' explores the emotional turbulence of adolescence, focusing on heartbreak, identity, and self-discovery. The love that once felt like salvation in 'The Chaos Chapters' ultimately proves unsustainable, leaving the boy* - who had relied on it for healing and guidance - feeling lost after his first breakup. Framed through Kübler-Ross’ five stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance - the album portrays his emotional journey, illustrating his transition from pain to growth. As the boy comes to terms with the end of the love that once defined him, he takes his first steps toward moving forward; no longer clinging to the past, he is finally ready to embrace what lies ahead. Acting as a bridge between 'The Chaos Chapters' and 'The Name Chapters,' the album sets the stage for his evolving understanding of himself and his place in the world.
[*Within TXT's discography-based narrative the 'boys/boy' can be interpreted as representing the TXT members, but they also serve as generalized protagonists used to convey the broader experiences of youth.]
