Mad camera talent and editing have created the only acceptable form of K-Pop… Deksorkrao vs. Blackpink

Parody… or tribute? The exactness of the choreography leaves me wondering. I’m also creeped out by little girls sexy-dancing.
So what does “Deksorkrao” mean?
The creator didn’t specify either way, but you’re right – it doesn’t feel like it was done as parody so much as tribute.
For me, this dancing was pretty tame compared to a lot of other recent stuff, including beauty pageants like back in the states, or drunken festival dancing here in SEA.
Dek = children (in Thai language)
Sorkrao = country, as in “out in the sticks” (in Cambodian)
So the name, at least, pokes some fun at the targeted band who appears as “hi-so” and exotic.
