“Mid… they need new marketing”: Fans divided over Katseye’s latest music video “Gnarly”

Katseye is the newest girl group in town, and they smashed it with their debut single Touch. Now the girl band is back with another single titled Gnarly. The song and an official music video were released on April 30, 2025. Gnarly can be described as the complete opposite of their debut single. It is a mix of punk and dance vibes, making it a club banger for many.

A short clip from the music video was posted on X by Pop Base, and fans were divided in the comments. Some think that Katseye's latest song is a hit, while others think that the whole punk and scene vibe was done in the past. One user commented:

"mid. someone tell them gnarly died in 2009 with scene kids and they need new marketing 💀 " - @pro6lema wrote.
