Sleep Token? All I know is that I’m always token’ when I blast some Sleep!
Best comment
😂🤘🤘
Same here
Amen
I have enjoyed Sleep Token since they released their first stuff back in 2016. Saw them open a few times the last few years for other acts. I figured they might gain moderate popularity, but I didn't expect them to blow up with TMBTE. I'm glad for their success, but I cannot fucking stand the new wave of horrendously cringe fans. I've heard some horror stories about people who clearly have never been to a show causing scenes and ruining the experience for people around them and just generally being annoying. Their subreddit is so full of rabid fans I had to leave it so I'd stop seeing posts about absolutely cringe shit. Love Sleep Token, detest their fans.
I don't think you can put all fans into the same category. They have over 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, that's a lot of people. Of course there will be some groups of fans who lean more into the side of unhealthy fanaticism. Depending on where you look on the internet, they can be quite prevalent in some places, but they're still just a vocal minority...
As you can probably see in my pfp, I'm a pretty big fan of sleep token, but i love their music, not the band members themselves.I've never cared about what the artists themselves do or are, I only enjoy the music, and some fans, as you've said, are just wayyyy too much in love with the members
The only thing horrendously cringe are these whiny fkn comments. 😂 My god stop generalizing and complaining about things out of your control. Makes you look ignorant.
“ghost but worse” at least ghost doesn’t pretend to be metal, they are a pop band with classic rock influences with certain heavier songs
When did Sleep Token state that their music is metal? As far as I know, they don't want to be put into a category at all...
the first ghost album was clear doom metal. the next 2 albums were occasionally metal but more on the rock side of things.
after that, they just became an 80s rock tribute band with spooky theatrics
Except they never even claimed to be metal. Even in interviews, they say that have metal INSPIRATION, but they refuse to label themselves as metal
It's OK if people like ghost but I don't understand why they are on the metal archives
@@jackko21 because some of their songs are heavy metal and doom metal 🙈
I don't like to shit on a fan base, but Sleep Token fans are like swifties, creepy groupies who's lives revolve around a trendy gimmick band. I'd take the doucebagery of late 90's Limp Bizkit fans at this point.
At least limpbikit was kinda good 🤣
@@louis-philippelacharite7201 Ok, cool guy.
Never even heard of em till this "incident".
I now wander what Wyatt will think of HEALTH at this point lol
They aren't my thing personally but nothing against them or their fans. Lots of my friends love them
health arent a metal band tho, isnt playing into that subculture at all
Who is ready for Sleep Token to create popcore?
Tbh that would be not bad name for the genre/subgenre xd
That isn't what they play now?
@@joshl8474 sort of, there is jazz, rock, and techno maybe parts
They're kinda late for that... didn't ISSUES make that years before? And good?
AD2R have been doing popcore for years now. They perfected it.
Never heard of Sleep Token. But you saying how bad they are makes me want to listen.
Not a fan of Sleep token but I can understand why people like them. I discussed this phenomenom of weird parasocial fans in the music sphere and I feel like It's part due to how the kpop industry treats its fans and makes sure that the fans believe they have a chance with the idols. It is seriously a shame because the toxic fans are a vocal minority that give a bad look to people who like the music in a normal way
I dislike Sleep Token because their music is just boring and their fanbase is just straight up annoying, but if people like Sleep Token then good for them. I just cannot sand Sleep Token.
"you might wanna go to a doctor" XD
For me I kinda like them, heard some songs, lore, masks, music over personality ideology and vessel phenomenal voice are things i like about them and will listen take me back to eden album, but I understand why someone likes it and someone don't
*phenomenal. and you're right. everyone has different tastes, different nervous systems, different aural experiences. a thing might land differently on my ears than it does yours. and it's awesome to just like what you like ♫ rock on
@@drdyer23 thanks for grammar correction
idk why everyone are saying "phenomenal" voice, when the guy always has an autotune. It's the same thing for a lot of rappers
@@jesusstaline9622 have any proof that they are using autotune? I heard so many songs that used autotunes and about sleep token I don't have any sense of autotune, in autotune you can hear just some change from actual voice, apps are not perfect, and I watched live concer, you can say "not good quality from mobile device or playback" but what you are saying this it's not 100% fact, just speculation. i just like his voice
@@MrRadoslav Maybe my use of words are bad. What I mean by autotune is voice modifier that are used to make the voice sound differently. It is easy to use it in live, a lot of bands do it.
Dude can’t wait to hear your demo. Clip sounded solid at the end of this video. Honestly glad I stayed till the end of it. Bandcamp page coming soon?
A simple search in the comments of Tank or Finn’s videos has a link to a RUclips channel (Sleep Talking) that has all the details. In summary, a “fan” running a group on telegram trying to reveal the identities of ST claimed to have their birth certificates (obviously based on their real names, easily googled). This admin had also stalked their families Facebook accounts to post photos and other personal info. Whether this is for clout or just psychotic behavior, it is totally unacceptable.
In Sleep Talkins video they said they heard that someone heard that someone said someone else said they have private info on the band, and they never showed any evidence. It would be psychotic behavior if it happened but I really don't believe that it did
Sleep Token = Veil of Maya. The Adam Levine’s of metal.
Every time Ghost is going to release a new album they pull a Madonna and make some controversy. I only like Sleep Token's image and the lore. But man I don't like their music at all, it's so freaking BORING!
Seems like this doxxing is just a rumor, but it can actually happen judging by how psychotic and parasocial their fanbase is. They're reaching kpop stan's levels of obsession.
i've only heard a few songs and one of them wasnt the worst thing i've heard but the more i listened i just really couldn't get into it at all, somehow it got worse the more i heard
The only reason i don't consider Sneed Token the worst of 2023 is 'cause A7F decided to try to sound like Mr. Bungle. But at least A7F doesn't feel like AI generated crap...
I love how we were freaking out and then the next day they announce a tour
Whiny singing, lol. That's exactly what they are. Couldn't have said it better myself. I saw Ne Obliviscaris last year, and they played one of Sleep Token's songs on tape before their set. I was like, 'What is this?' lol.
I just gave em a listen... I actually don't mind them, but they're no more metal than Imagine Dragons.
To be fair do they pretend to be metal? Sometimes you find A perfect circle albums in the heavy metal section of a cd store, but that's not really the bands fault
$10 says they''ll be on the cover of both Revolver and Decibel by the end of the year.
they still have tour dates listed with tickets for sale, its a marketing ploy
Wyatt pointed out that the band(s) you're going to join don't end up on your birth certificate. In Sleep Token's case.... It's called "pre-crime."
Hello wyatts metal i love ur videos and u are my biggest inspiration so i try to make videos like you i am one of your biggest fans and i just want to say keep up the great work!!🤘🤘
that's amazing! I very much appreciate that thank you and good luck to your channel
@@wyattsmetalOMG!!! Thank you so so so so much i never thought you would notice me but thank you so much i love your videos THANK YOU!!!!
Hell yeah. I gave them a try even though I kinda knew what to expect, I couldn't do it.
This situation is cringe, I feel like its for attention, but how could we know I guess!
I'd say I can dig some of their stuff, for example 'vore' is a good track, and the genre blending in some tracks like 'the summoning' is quite pleasing a times. They definitely has a unique sound and is a great gateway band for ppl outside the metal world to get in touch with our side. credit where the credits' due. But the fans... man... they are really kinda crazy, and their music is somewhat overhyped for sure. I'm happy they get recognition and is making banks, but I have very mixed feelings about them being the biggest metal phenomenum in 2023
I can't wait to see whatever band is playing at the same time during sleep token at sick new world.
People NEED a Santa Clause.
While their music is not my style, I will say their musical skills, specifically the drummer, are in another league. There are maybe 5 drummers in the world who can compare to what 2 is capable of. Their guitarist also has an insane metal voice.
LOL
Never heard of them now i need to look them up 🙈
I don’t know if anyone else commented this, But Sleep Token should have made the Birth Certificate should have been the Next Album Cover.
ST looks like Portal but sounds like Hozier on steroids.
I cannot stand this band. It is not metal. You summarized my thoughts on it perfectly. It is r&b with objectively TERRIBLE singing that has a tiny handful of breakdowns thrown in. I will never in my life understand how they got so popular. It feels like the universe playing a prank on me.
there was this thing going around a bit ago about them view botting tf out of their spotify, idk if it was debunked or not so take this with a grain of salt but it explains how they popped up out of nowhere
Never heard of these guys until just now through this video and I don't care to check them out. Underground Metal is the best.
I cannot stand these guys. I just don't like it, and I think you're right. They're a pop band masquerading as a metal band, and the fans are almost as toxic as people who play League of Legends or other esports games.
I'm positive that their next music video has this female antagonist character in it.
their fans are insufferable, and the band itself sucks
Facts
Worse than Ghost??? Man...that is a tough one to beat.
I agree with you. Dont get the popularity. Then again now bands I listened to in high school is now on the local classic rock station smh
Quickly skipped through The Summoning (down-tuning, djent, heard other bands like this) and Alkaline (different but similar). Not my thing but sounds pretty heavy.
Santa Ana??
Haha, you're so right! i don't get this band...
My Channel will reflect, i have no idea who they are.. since when is popular good..
I also do not like them at all
I enjoy a couple Ghost tracks so I tried listening to these guys and no, just no, they're so shit what is with the hype?
I honestly don’t understand how this could DESTROY the band. It was always an inevitability that their identities would be revealed. It didn’t DESTROY Ghost. I don’t know why this is such a big deal.
Also, old metal gate keeper, they are awesome. So is Ghost. 😂
Who???
I find them massively overrated, it’s just mid and it puts me to sleep (token)
I was almost nervous I was gonna have to listen to them get endless praise again, thank god there is some like minded individuals who can't stand them lol
I only like their image and concept. I agree with you, I don't like their music at all and their fanbase are mostly tik tok and reddit goons.
I love pop and I love metal, and I’m perfectly fine with blending the two, but Sleep Token don’t do it well at all. They’ve got a couple interesting songs, but most of their music sounds profoundly boring to me.
Most time you find an interesting idea on ST, it comes from (usually) Loathe. And Loathe does has the talent to actually execute their ideas properly.
yes the fans are crazy and they were crazy even before this incident.
I'm not too mad about this happening. yes, it sucks for them but maybe their role in the zeitgeist becomes less annoying now?
full disclosure, I like 1 of their songs but the rest of their music feels very shallow and boring to me. however what really ruins the band imo is their awful fandom. it doesn't make their music better or worse but it makes it harder to "give them another chance to grow on me". but who knows, maybe this will have positive consequences. maybe their next record will be pure heaviness with songs that call out their dumb annoying ass fans?
I'll never understand the appeal of this band ,
The neat part is... you don't have to. Just let everyone enjoy the music they're listening to and accept that not every kind of music is made specifically to appeal to you ;)
Man, i'm tired of the Sneed Token spam, and they're mid as fuck. Loathe does the same but actually good, and no gimmick to add the illusion of innovation..
I'm dead convinced Sneed Token is an industry Plant, is _"metal"_ for people who don't like metal but like to say "I listen to every kind of music."
I've honestly wondered if they're a plant aswell ngl
@@wyattsmetal i mean, they came out of nowhere, already doing big numbers in Spotify, pulling collabs with already big names, and everything around them feels very formulaic and calculated, like every move they do is a marketing stunt.
the amount of artificial press they have is fucking weird and off putting @@miserirken
@@miserirkenthey’ve been making music since 2017, and each of their albums got more attention than the last. They only got an absurd amount of hype now because the end of the summoning made tiktokers go apeshit.
I've heard their new album and its kinda depressing. But its mainly inoffensive so you either like it or you dont. No big deal. Alt Metal/Djent is pretty much hit and miss anyway.
Sneed Token isn't even close to djent tho.
Also the "depressing" aspect of their music is very surface level and basic. It's like fast food in music form.
I have listened to a Sleep Token song here and there, and it’s just ugh… I have to wash my ears out with Nevermore and Slipknot afterwards to get the Sleep Token out of my head… 😵💫
Also, Wyatt, how do you get your roar that deep? I’m working on voice training, getting all the knowledge I can to help me
I like that one Sleep Token song that sounds like Deftones with masks on.
They’re definitely worse than deftones
Sleep Token is constantly trying to rip off Loathe, a band very inspired by Deftones, but Loathe has the approval of Chino Moreno, and they're actually good.
lol nap coin
Na they’re lyrics it’s amazing
I love Sleep Token
I like sleeptoken but I don’t think they’re that good, one of those bands that are ok but overrated at the same time
I am loving all this shit talk about Sleep Token, they don’t even deserve to be called a metal band
Who the fuck cares what label people put on the band?
People and the press call everything that has distorsion metal. It's pretty stupid
Sad. Just a..sad little video you made here man. 😂
metal fans are the worst
I have yet to hear a sleep token song and I don’t care to hear any of them at this point I think they’re overrated and overhyped. I usually go more for the underground metal bands.
There's pretentious crap ... and then there's Sleep Token.
Can't stand Sleep Token and their annoying 12 year old fans.
Personally, I love Sleep Token, but this whole series of events really confuses me. Seeing how many articles were written about them after they wiped their IG pages, for them to turn around and announce another North American tour (AND NOT EVEN COME TO KANSAS CITY 🤬) leaves kind of a sour taste in my mouth. If it was the fans creating drama out of thin air, that would be one thing, but if it was the band themselves then that’s just not cool.
ST and Ghost blow. It's pop. Fuck em.
I mean, good pop music exists. The problem here is they suck even as a pop act. They vocalist can't sing shit.
You don’t have to like them, but no need to be a metal elitist and deny their talent. His voice is extraordinary and II (drummer) just won drummer of the year.
Cry me a river... I actually saw them twice after I received an invitation from Ticketmaster to fill the venue because they didn't sell well every time they played here, I left after the second song
Sleep Token were really off-putting to me at first, but some of their stuff has kinda grown on me. But I've always been more into prog, symphonic, & power metal, so I've become pretty accepting of a lot of the cheesy shit that gets tossed into songs. And goddamn, has there been a lot lately! I feel like it's better when the bands lean into it though & don't try to maintain some dark, brooding persona. Sleep Token could totally benefit from the addition of a keytar. And give Vessel a tambourine! 😆
It'd be so funny if their next album did a full 180 and they switched to black metal, all their tiktok egirl fans would immediatly either lose interest or have a breakdown
Does what they do count as blackface? 😂
So Vended Singer, or Slipknot should count as blackface too (I know you meant it as joke)
@@MrRadoslav lmao yep Vended are now cancelled 😂 glad someone realised I was kidding lol
Nobody says they’re metal. You don’t have to like them.
Ghost is metal. The later black death related albums are far superior to the early hail Satan albums. But it's melody heavy metal, gatekeepers be damned on this one lol.
I haven't listened to enough sleep token to judge.
I'll never get the ghost hate. It's hard rock/metal with a different vocal style than we're used to. Yeah they look like black metal and sound like glam metal, but it's still (at least I think) good music.
Then again I can listen to mayhem, Metallica and kiss on the same playlist so maybe my opinion ain't valid
First I heard about the band/group whatever. A little shocked their vids have millions of views. What ever it takes to make money.
I am HONOURED to Not heard of these nerdy radio pop boy bands Arcade Tokens or whatevs
I think they’re neat. Obviously a lot of metal elitists are going to throw a bitch fit about them being considered metal but let’s be honest, most metal bands and fans don’t give a shit about labeling these days. I think the whole “ popmetal will ruin metal” is so overblown. Delusional metal heads have been saying that since the rise of numetal and yet here we are years later still getting heavy metal (deathmeta/deathcore is flourishing right now). Do I think some people are annoying about them? DEFINITELY. But do I think their experience is an insult to metal. Nope. I will definitely admit that ST isn’t for everyone. Obviously metal heads that don’t like the more melodic/slower stuff are going to think their shit. But I can’t deny that they are unique.
I can only hear their songs once. I get bored during a second listen.
Sleep Token sucks bro 🤮
Lol
agreed
He said in the video
“Whōōyyy daon’t yaou loike slæeep taokaaaan?”
The singer asking why you don’t like sleep token
I honestly don't get the hype around these guys. I don't think their music is very good at all. Idk people will like what they like i just don't think they are as good as everybody else thinks they are
It’s crazy to me how people actually respect this band when literally they do EVERYTHING out of the “get popular quick book” it’s so lifeless and boring
So tired of everyone simping for this boring band. I share your opinion, got the same impression. On 2023 new years, a friend showed them to me when I was a little bit far gone, I liked them a lot then (as I suppose a dude would if he met a girl that was a 5 in such a state) then but forgot about them soon after. Remembered them again a few months later and gave it a sober listen, and was so utterly unimpressed. My disdain has grown a lot this month hearing everyone talk about how they're the future of metal, best band of 2023 and all that. Finn Mckenty especially has a braindead take saying they are just hated because goth girls like them. I'm a lady who occasionally likes dressing goth, I'd rather listen to Tristania.
"Finn Mckenty especially has a braindead take saying they are just hated because goth girls like them"
Lmao then Deftones is the most hated band in the world i guess, considering their fanbase got a lot of goth girls lately (and even before, but hey, Deftones has a very diverse biosphere in their fanbase anyways).
Sneed Token is hated 'cause they suck as metal band, and they has cultivated a very toxic fanbase without taking care of it. Other bands has called their fans out when they've taking shit too far, Death Grips being the most recent case i can remember.
@@miserirken I went to see The Birthday Massacre back in 2018, their audience was almost all goth girls. They have a pretty iconic image with their lyrics, merch and album art, (they were selling bunny ears that lit up at their shows, and I thought it was a lot of fun.) I never see anyone complaining about TBM.
I haven't heard a lot about Sleep Token's fan base, I know there are people who rabidly like them, but not to what extent they are toxic.
not the biggest sleep token fan eve r but god dude do you ever like anything ?
Plenty of videos mentioning bands I love
@@wyattsmetal No, don't you get it? If you don't this very indie obscure band named Sleep Token, that means you don't like anything. You're just bullying this little band.
,':^)
They're a huge band, but I still have yet to hear one of their songs. Seems like some cornball music for people who want to seem edgy.
In my opinion, Sleep Token is pretty good! I like all kinds of music though. I would agree that their fans are insane, but it's understandable since they blew up due to TikTok thots 😂
I don't like this band at all. It's not even metal.
All these people in the comments hating on sleep token, yet no one actually gives a reason. Just jumping on the hate band wagon
Or they just dislike sleep token? People can dislike a band for no reason
