The song got hit with a wave of criticism from fans, with some claiming that SM Entertainment artists got away with the same “brainrot” songs that HYBE artists were criticized for.
SM artists can release brainrot bullshit and everyone will eat it up But when HYBE artists do it they get crucified for it for months 😭 Kpoptwt is full of SM asslickers https://t.co/rKyhxtFoZe

The SM privilege is insane because they can release shitty songs and nobody says anything, but if it were a HYBE group?? TUIDE released a genuinely good song and people still criticized it saying the songs were boring, and horrible https://t.co/wYjtxumVci

Yet, some hit back at the brutal criticism towards the song, explaining that the whole purpose of HyoRiSoo to start was based on comedy and it was something that turned from a bit of fun to an actual debut.

I’m thankful for Hyo, Yuri, and Sooyoung for releasing “Skibidi” to prove how stupid Kpop stans are.
Read the lyrics! Most of you can’t understand they’re making fun of the crap music you’ve been calling “GAG” for years.
The fact that you don’t get that makes it funnier. 😂 https://t.co/u60vHl3ydA pic.twitter.com/sYNfD5yf9j
