“Telepathy” featured the members in an arcade, leaning into the nostalgic energy of the program. The boys have a knack for keeping their virtual performances new and exciting, refusing to let their distance from an audience push them into anything repetitive or mundane. As usual, the BTS boys brought their A-game to their latest “first.”Ĭan You Hear the Bass Boom? I’m Ready: The opening of “Telepathy” marked the first time the group have performed the upbeat track from their most recent album, November’s BE. While they are certainly not the first international group to appear on the show, which has heavily featured artists from around the globe since its inception, they are the first Korean act. The members of the septet - RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook - have now joined the ranks of the pop culture icons that preceded them with a five-song set, the majority of which was sung in Korean. MTV as a whole now often feels associated with a nostalgic time of TRL, flannels, and Blockbuster, but rest assured, millennials - if BTS is doing it, it’s still cool. Mariah Carey’s episode marked a shift in her public reception and launched her cover of “I’ll Be There” to No. In 1992, Eric Clapton’s Unplugged album became the best-selling live album of all time. MTV Unplugged feels much more associated with the millennials, first airing in 1989 and rising to prominence in the ‘90s, ushering in many performances that have since become the stuff of legend. End up on the wrong end of the divide, and you’re in a tough spot. In addition to numerous Grammy, Billboard, and MTV Video Music Awards, the pop boy band was also honoured by TIME as "The Most Influential People of 2019.Talkin’ ‘Bout My Generation: Recently, there’s been a growing divide between millennials and gen-z: side parts and skinny jeans are out.
Meanwhile, BTS has continued to have soaring popularity among the masses with its upbeat beats and music and quirky music videos that have connected with the younger audience. The rock-heavy show had set the tone for Cyrus' 'Plastic Hearts', which released the following month. Last year, singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus put her own spin on the show with 'MTV Unplugged Presents Miley Cyrus Backyard Sessions'.
