3. Inventive choreo

Some fans thought the snippet of choreography seen in the teaser felt like a different vibe than Stray Kids normally does. On top of that, it seems that the dance may match some aspects of the lyrics which will be interesting to see.

5. Incredible wordplay

Stray Kids are known for including wordplay in their songs. When the full lyrics are released, it’ll all come together.

i'm still mind blown over the wordplay maniac that sounds like many-악(ag = evil) and also <loose screw> double meaning.. it could be common phrase for going insane or screw in monster (victor frankestein) pic.twitter.com/sAz3ee3guG

7. Label-mate similarities

Some fans have pointed to similarities between NMIXX‘s “O.O” and the “MANIAC” teaser. Since both groups are under JYP Entertainment, it’s plausible that they are somehow connected.

Anyone else see similarities in NMIXX’s O.O and Stray Kids’s MANIAC?
