Stray Kids' music is inspired by hip-hop, dubstep, heavy metal, electroclash and dance-pop, and has been described as "dark and experimental."[194] After the release of the album Go Live, the public and some entertainment media outlets began calling Stray Kids the pioneers of "mala taste music" (Korean: 마라맛 음악; RR: Maramat eumak), a name they adopted from the hot, spicy mala seasoning,[193][195] and became a rising music trend among K-Pop boy groups.[196] The band's songs initially received criticism for being too "noisy"; with the album Noeasy, they embraced the criticism, saying the term was "something that [they] could use as [their] own weapon".[197] During the showcase for Rock-Star, the band's members said they plan to retain their tenacious music with principles (Korean: 줏대; RR: jutdae; lit. strong spine).[198] Stray Kids said they want their music to be recognized as a new genre, stating in a 2023 interview during the Next Generation Leaders with Time: "The goal is to continuously pioneer new [musical] subjects and to have our music be recognized as a 'Stray Kids' genre".[199]

Experimental music has been Stray Kids' identity since the beginning of their career, combining genres throughout their discography. Their debut song "District 9" is a hybrid genre that combines hip-hop, rock and EDM with frenetic bass, sirens, EDM breaks, aggressive raps and hip-hop dance moves.[200][201][202] They attempted a new sound with "Side Effects", a propulsive, EDM-pop hybrid song that was inspired by psytrance.[203][204] "God's Menu" is said to have a new genre called "mala taste", which is defined as hot, strong and spicy songs.[193] In "Thunderous", they used contemporary synths and drops to blend traditional Korean instruments such as the kwaenggwari (꽹과리; a small, flat, brass gong) and traditional Korean drums.[197] "Maniac" is a Middle Eastern-influenced,[205] "powerful" trap,[206] electropop[207] song with a bass-synth drop,[206][205] bird-chirping[205] and drill sounds.[207] "Case 143" is a pop song that incorporates a descending chromatic scale, changes in key signature, intense rap verses and a flexible rhythm.[208] "S-Class" is a hip hop track with elements of boom bap, old school and pop.[209] It was mixed between booming rap, thrumming bass, sultry electro, 1990s hip-hop, sparkling pop and grimy club.[210] "Lalalala" is a phonk[211] and Afrobeats track with harsh electric guitar, lively drums and thumping bass.[citation needed]

Songwriting and lyrical themes

Bang Chan (left), Changbin (center), and Han (right), collectively known as 3Racha, wrote and produced almost all of Stray Kids' releases.

Stray Kids is a "self-producing" idol group whose members have almost always been involved in songwriting and composing, and have sometimes assisted in arranging, even before the official debut.[17][212] The band's in-house production team, which is called 3Racha, consists of the members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han,[213] who have been releasing self-produced tracks on SoundCloud since 2017 and are largely responsible for crafting Stray Kids' music, with all members integral to the process.[214] All of the members have YouTube projects like SKZ-Record and SKZ-Player, where each of them produce, choreograph, or cover songs;[a] Two Kids Song, where the members were paired to write, produce and record an original song with the same beat sample;[b][214] and SKZ Song Camp: Howl in Harmony, where the members were divided into three teams and produced their own songs.[c][215]

The main lyrical theme of Stray Kids' songs is the process and hardship of searching for their identity, especially in their early EP albums I Am ... series and Clé series. In "District 9", the lyrics implied the band members were frustrated by people questioning their identity, which they acknowledge they had not yet found.[216] In "My Pace", the lyrics imply comparison with others can cause nervousness or anxiety, but each person has their own pace.[217][218] The lyrics of "I Am You" are about the band thanking their audience for supporting the band, even when they did not know themselves.[219] "Miroh" implies Stray Kids' strength, energy and aspiration to enter a rough "maze" (Korean: 미로; RR: Miro) to achieve their dreams.[220] In "Side Effects", the members are rebelling because they wanted to do what they chose to do, even thought that choice may result in side effects.[203] The lyrics imply it is okay to "shout 'my head hurts' " in difficult situations but not give up because the side effects are never permanent.[221] The lyrics of "Levanter" (Korean: 바람; RR: baram; lit. wind) imply the keys they searched for were within them and that Stray Kids must be themselves to continue their journey following the wind.[222]

After the completion of I Am ... and Clé series, Stray Kids found their own identity and the band's lyrical themes shifted. They introduced "God's Menu" as their unique sound; the song uses culinary metaphors like "Welcome, it's easy to choose what you want in our kitchen. Anything on the menu will satisfy all your five senses", "This is our tang, tang, tang, tang" (Korean: 탕; RR: tang; lit. soup), and "You ask "What's our secret ingredient?". But we don't even use one".[214] Stray Kids received some criticism because their sound was considered too "noisy" by some, yet they "embrace[ed their] noisiness" in the lyrics of "Thunderous".[197] In "Maniac", the band encouraged their audience to embrace their own "quirkness".[223] "S-Class" is the continuation of the previous album Oddinary, in which they shout: "The odd one, that's me!". In "S-Class" they invite listeners to do the same in the lyrics: "Be the one to shine instead of chasing after what's shiny".[210] "Lalalala" celebrates the band members' lives and career,[224] pushing through pain to find joy and release through music.[225]

The band's B-sides often talk about self-reflection. On their debut album, the songs "Mirror" and "3rd Eye" discuss the difficulties of finding one's true self; in the song "Awaken", they stress the importance of fighting one's way out of a shell.[201] Some Stray Kids songs challenge new themes that are different from their other releases, like "Case 143" from Maxident, which is their first release that is explicitly about romantic love.[116][226]

Stray Kids are known for using wordplay in lyrics and song titles. The title of the album Go Live combines the English word go with the Korean word hanja (life) (Korean: GO生; RR: go-saeng) but the pronunciation gosaeng (Korean: 고생) can also mean "hardship" in Korean. The album's song "God's Menu" also contains wordplay from the hanja word "god" and the hangul word "menu" (Korean: 神메뉴; RR: sinmenyu; lit. God's Menu) but the pronunciation "sin-menu" (신메뉴) can also mean "new menu" in Korean.[214] In Noeasy, the album's title combines "no" and "easy" to mean "not easy", but its pronunciation sounds like "noisy". Its track "Thunderous" has a different Korean title "소리꾼" (Korean: 소리꾼; RR: sorikkun; lit. singers of pansori) which combines the word "소리" (Korean: 소리; RR: sori; lit. sound) and "꾼" (Korean: 꾼; RR: kkun; lit. suffix for a "doer"), which can also mean a person who "does sound very well". The Korean title of the song "Lalalala" (Korean: 락; Hanja: 樂; RR: rak; lit. pleasure) is also a wordplay with "rock", expressing the meaning of "although you will feel any emotions in life, you hope the last emotion you choose will be pleasure".[227]
