The hotly anticipated debut single from KATSEYE has gone viral - for better or worse. In this episode of CCTV: The Nonstop Pop Show, we give our unfiltered thoughts on the chaotic pop anthem, “Gnarly.” We break down the song’s production, lyrics, music video, and performance - while trying to make sense of the online meltdown it’s triggered. Is it genius satire? A misunderstood slay? Or just… a lot? Let us know: are YOU team “Gnarly” or team “Make it stop”?
