My favorite fact about Deftones is White Pony took so much longer to record than anticipated because the band spent way too much time playing the new PlayStation in the Studios Foyer and they sometimes had to be physically wrenched off the thing to get any takes done
I grew up just south of the Deftones. They were deep into the skate culture as well. So I crossed paths with them on more than one occasion. Chino is a real great dude. Like I can’t say a bad thing about him on a personal level. Yes I’m old. Edit: Chino’s side projects (see: Crosses) are fantastic as well
Oldhead Deftones fan here just to say it doesn't really matter how people get into them, who cares, the gate is wide open and everyone is welcome. I think the main appeal is actually due to how timeless some of their stuff feels, and also due to the fact that the sound Deftones pioneered has made a huge comeback in recent years which has led young people to go back to check out the source. When I was a kid we did the same thing with bands like Misfits and Joy Division because we wanted to know what bands influence the big hits of our time (like Deftones but also early 2000s bands The Strokes, White Stripes, etc.)
New head Deftones fan, I'm 21 and me and my band mates are into Deftones heavy. Thank you to the old head fans from the 90s and 2000s for making it a timeless sonic experience. It inspires some of my bass lines.
I wish they would like it for their music though. I also wish people would branch out to some newer stuff (i dont mean to gatekeep or anything but thats just kind of what i feel is going on)
Ha! That’s awesome!!! Almost same story…I was 15 when Around the Fur came out and have been obsessed ever since!! Favorite band since I discovered them in 1997…and the white pony was also my first tattoo!!! Lol.
@@TMJYT Although as a forty-year-old, I can't help but think, "Oh, is this how my mom felt when I started listening to Led Zeppelin in my teens? Christ, I'm old!"
For me, I was introduced to them very recently. What struck me about them that I hadn’t heard before is the atmosphere of their music. They have this dirty, grimy, moody, murky atmosphere combined with very sensual and almost “high” emotions and lyrics and soundscapes. I instantly feel in love with the dreamy, vibey and high feel combined with the angry, murky, muddy tone. It made me think of gutter life. Living in poverty, addicted to drugs and alcohol and miserable with the lifestyle, but holding on to relationships or sensuality that gave some pleasure to life. Deftones taught me to pay attention to atmosphere which in turn made me look back at TOOL and it suddenly clicked how good tool was cause they had a similar atmosphere. Tool’s atmosphere however went in a more primal, philosophical, contemplative direction. These two bands I tie together and love so much now.
I remember i found them by completely accident on RUclips, think it was Diamond eyes full album video. And thhe sound stands out really. Atmosphere... And this interesting vocal Mix that sounds as if it comes through radio
@LordOfOrangeSoda quoting his name makes it 100x funnier also the only right opinion (also the gerund of "to quote" in English is the ugliest word I've ever written, what is this shit)
7:05 bro if in like 20-30 odd years people be nostalgic for 2020-2023 who never lived through it I'm going full boomer. If CovidCore or some stupid thing ever becomes an "Aesthetic" im just leaving
zoomers don't have any identity, everything is so homegeneized and based around social media that literally one decade blends after another. I've seen kids trying to be nostalgic about youtube layouts, imagine thats all the shit you have and everything else is the same crap from 10 and 20 years ago, the 2010s and 2020s have no aesthetics , no counter culture, no subculture, no nothing, its all doomscrolling on social media same as in 2010, same in 2024
agreed ! im 17 (also not an egirl :P) and have met so many older fans that were so enthusiastic to see younger people getting into the band, lol i once had a grandma tell me she loved my ohms sweater
I remember paying 15 bucks to see Deftones play a small club at a neighboring town. It was fucking sweet. Probably the "Numetal" band I saw more times live back in the 90s and early 00s. From rundown clubs, to side stages and then main stages in Warp Tour, to full on Auditoriums.
agreed. i am really enjoying this content. no bullshit rundowns. funny and relevant (even if sometimes obtusely) meme eyecandy. based takes. what's not to like?
White Pony came out when I was 9, and for my tenth birthday, my Grandma gave me a Deftones shirt. I looked them up afterward to check 'em out, so thanks for the lifelong love, Grandma.
Deftones are legit good. A lot of their stuff has aged really well and I feel like they were always one of those more interesting bands to come out of that moment.
Boys trust me it’s the way he sings, shit will make your girl wetter than a leaking fire hydrant. I’ve had multiple girls tell me that shit, but remember, with great power comes great responsibility. You must only use this knowledge for good, and never to make regrettable decisions when you’re down bad. Godspeed you amazing and beautiful creatures
7:45 This is why gatekeeping is necessary. Deftones is just a brand now And in all honesty, they’re just listening to the same 3-4 songs. Ain’t ever met a real fan that listens to their albums in full.
The last thing my artschool dropout ex texted me after I found out she was cheating on me with, you guessed it, another artschool dropout girl, was Deftones' side project Team Sleep. It's pretty solid.
It's the pendulum swing. Hip hop has been pretty prominent for the last decade. I feel like rock and shoegaze, for example, is that swing back to heavier sounds. Deftones kind of fits right in that middle -- can go hard but also very dreamy/soft.
Well the reason why they're really popular right now which is kinda untrue because when Diamond Eyes came out it was fucking huge and thought they had always been popular with rock music listeners.. but back to now is because they were so advanced and ahead of every one in the way that their music is an infinity canvas for the listener to paint their emotions and imagination on. True fuckin artists right there.
I only ever got into deftones because some tinder girl I was trying to date liked them, and I figured if I pretended to love them she might pretend to love me. Didn’t work. But I ended up finding out I liked deftones at least.
I've been a Deftones fan since 98 and I see so many other older fans getting mad about them suddenly getting all of this attention, as if it somehow diminishes how good they are, or makes them less "cool." I just don't get it, I love the band and want to see them succeed as much as possible, so seeing a lot of younger people getting into Deftones is awesome in my opinion. The band is great and they deserve every bit of praise and success coming their way, so I'm happy to see and hear someone drive by blasting Deftones, regardless of if it's a 16 year old girl or a 40 year old guy.
Deftones is Barry White for alt kids, always has been. Incredibly, sexy music for the bedroom. I didn't like them at first, I was more into Korn at that age, and Limb Bizkit (I was the exact right age, this stuff came out when I was in school) but with my second GF who was into more Punk and Metal and stuff, we started listening to them together. Now they're the only band from that time period I really listen to any more. Great band, amazing sound. They're timeless.
maybe I'm missing something but it reminds me of when everybody suddenly got into the Smiths in the late 2000s/early 2010s, or even like when every weird kid got into bowie and queen around 2000 (I hope kids are still doing this)
the dynamic of sounds they produce and their dreamy but emotional and angry type of music is absolutely inspiring and beautiful. really opened my eyes frfr. became entombed in it. for the better actually
i'm a newer deftones fan who was almost deterred by the whole "hurr durr don't let the egirls find deftones" shit. i'm so glad i wasn't. their music helped me through some tough times
even as a kid i could feel that the deftones weren't playing to me, they were doing something more real than exploiting miserable teens, i'll always respect that
I got into deftones after seeing them live at Download 2022. My brother had been into them for years but despite me being into many of the same bands, never got into Deftones. My first experience listening to them was the late Mitch Lucker of Suicide Silence covering Engine No9.
I've been a fan since highschool, can confirm they are pretty Def but I'm definitely more into the Saturday Night Wrist era and lower as apposed to Diamond Eyes and onwards.
As much as I hate trendhopping (Breakcore is on life support), this is better than everything else that's come out of tiktok, pretending to have multiple identities, etc.
It's been 5 months and Deftones isn't necessarily as popular anymore because the trend is over now. It's now seen as "poser, tiktok music, cringe" atp from what I've seen thanks to trend hopping, which is I think gatekeeping is necessary. So many good bands/artists get ruined because of people tend hopping. I've been into Deftones for a few years now, still my fav band but I feel like such a poser listening to them because of ts 😭
If the suggestions work for your format, and they seem fun to you, you should do a video on: -ISIS -Ufomammut -Mixed genres (like, for example, Self vs Self from Pendulum feat. In Flames. Wonder if there are more of those. Of course, Igorrr. Hey you should cover Igorrr too. You did mention them in a breakcore video if I remember correctly. But I'd like to see more on that frankenstein jumble of genres). Maybe you know/can find more stuff like that. I really love that stuff. In my own production I like to collide various genres to see what comes out too ^^. -If you into this side of music: Acid, Hardtrance, Tekno, Psytrance (Ikikik, you're mainly metal. But, genres are overrated. Only two really count: Good music, bad music. 🤷♂ -Oh, baroque classical, during summer and winter, vivaldi's four seasons have some pretty shredder moments with those violinists 🤣
So basically deftones is for women and and some men because the music expresses more sappy feelings rather than the beautiful melody of angry men screaming
I’ve been listening to deftones since I was a toddler because of my dad so it’s almost insane to see nu metal and especially deftones skyrocket to the front of egirl and mainstream culture. If someone told me 5 years ago that deftones would be relevant I wouldn’t have believed them.
I didn't know nu metal was going through a revival. Who would've predicted that. I saw them live in 2001 and love adrenaline and white pony. I don't actually think they've made a bad album.
I got introduced to them rather recently and it was mostly because of tiktok. I just really liked the way it sounds so I've been listening to them non-stop.
wtf so know when i listen to my deftones people will think i'm trying to impress some goth chick? shit i'm a 90's kid what you expect me to listen to??
As a guy who got into Deftones way before all this hype around them now, i have absolutely no problem with hot girls being into the same music i'm into, especially as i'm single and i REALLY LOVE Deftones 😅
Its strange because i could never understand why they weren't more popular, and im 40 next year. Its very strange to see them find wider popularity now they're old as fk. I mean im happy for them and gives me a degree of validation - yet i still dont get it, where was the hype when i had to carefully ween my friends onto them with very mixed success throughout 99.9% of my 20's.
2013 in High school some girl told me to listen to Deftones I was like "bet" lol came back to her the next day in love with her & the music she enlightened me with.
We can probably rule out *Gore* being responsible for their popularity with art hoes. I've been a fan since ATF dropped and I figured they would always stay around the cult level. They were even on one of the Matrix soundtracks and still barely got recognition.
There’s a lot of these opinion pieces about the Deftones from people who weren’t alive at the time. It’s interesting. Always coming at it with a new world, social media perspective. Ego mindset, like ‘style of clothing, emotions, the way someone looks, a sea of personal opinions having self validation. They are widely popular because the music is just fundamentally good. Good music stands the test of time. Some people have good taste; others do not.
Well.. as a deftones girl-fan myself, this sure sucks. I've been a closet fan for 3 years now and I'm slowly phasing into wanting some merch, I actually started shopping for a saturday night wrist shirt today before finding this video in my feed. I hate that i may potentially get confused with a bunch of e-girls who only know 1 or 2 deftones songs..
Felt. I've been a fan myself for 3-4 years now and I feel like people are gonna see me as another e girl who's only into them for the trend when I've listened to damn near their whole discography 😭
One thing you forgot to mention about Stephen Carpenter getting hit by the car was the huge settlement he got from the driver which allowed him to buy a bunch of gear.
"the insurgency of the Deftones girl" is comedy gold. i think part of the resurgence was part of that small wave of "slowed+reverb" mixes of alot of deftones stuff around covid time.
My favorite fact about Deftones is White Pony took so much longer to record than anticipated because the band spent way too much time playing the new PlayStation in the Studios Foyer and they sometimes had to be physically wrenched off the thing to get any takes done
That shit is the most 2000s thing I ever read.
@@zackzallie8735 I'm guessing the fact they played Tony Hawk Pro Skater the most makes it the Millennium Era Cherry on Top

I was 15 when White Pony came out and I've been pretty much obsessed ever since. It was my first tattoo. It's wild to see this happening now.
Same story for me, minus the tattoo. Always preferred their darker, heavier stuff though. Nothing after SNW has really captivated me though.
Ha! That’s awesome!!! Almost same story…I was 15 when Around the Fur came out and have been obsessed ever since!! Favorite band since I discovered them in 1997…and the white pony was also my first tattoo!!! Lol.

The best part of being an oldhead atm is Deftones and other's touring with huge crowds again. Never thought id get to see them live

Highly recommend it!
Well, that explains why some of my students were amazed by my old ass deftones shirt
As long as kids are discovering Deftones, it's all good!

One of Chino's 50 side projects. Every member is in some other goofy experimental group.

Deftones is one of the few bands from my youth that hasn't disappointed me or that I feel ashamed for really liking in hindsight.

u have to make a TOOL video man. One of the greatest bands to ever exist and with an insuffrable cult like following
Easily the worst part of the fanaticism around Deftones now is it's sudden association with gothic style. It's not connected to goth at all.

As a guy who got into Deftones way before all this hype around them now, i have absolutely no problem with hot girls being into the same music i'm into, especially as i'm single and i REALLY LOVE Deftones 😅
My proudest achievement is never having heard a whole deftones song.
Your loss.
Sucker.
I figured sevendust would have made resurgence over deftones.
the pic of sematary 🤣🤣
Its strange because i could never understand why they weren't more popular, and im 40 next year. Its very strange to see them find wider popularity now they're old as fk. I mean im happy for them and gives me a degree of validation - yet i still dont get it, where was the hype when i had to carefully ween my friends onto them with very mixed success throughout 99.9% of my 20's.
you should do a video about dungeon synth, it has an oddly intriguing history for what is basically just fantasy music made with a synthesizer
6:07 why you gotta do gojira like that
When I was 11 I’m a biggest fan of Deftones back in 2001
2013 in High school some girl told me to listen to Deftones I was like "bet" lol came back to her the next day in love with her & the music she enlightened me with.
Watching older fans getting mad that the kids "only like deftones big hit songs" is hilarious. Since when has deftones had "big hits"? Lmao
At one point early on they had no idea why people were calling them homosexual sneaker-heads, thinking they were saying "Shoe Gays."
TikTok ruined deftones and now they’re going after dsbm. Nothing is sacred anymore
tiktok doesn't ruin anything,it just makes things more popular

We can probably rule out *Gore* being responsible for their popularity with art hoes. I've been a fan since ATF dropped and I figured they would always stay around the cult level. They were even on one of the Matrix soundtracks and still barely got recognition.
There’s a lot of these opinion pieces about the Deftones from people who weren’t alive at the time. It’s interesting. Always coming at it with a new world, social media perspective. Ego mindset, like ‘style of clothing, emotions, the way someone looks, a sea of personal opinions having self validation.
They are widely popular because the music is just fundamentally good. Good music stands the test of time. Some people have good taste; others do not.
fire video oh my days
shout to coolea the woman respecter. calling mids conventionally attractive.
TOOL , Deftones after them. I’ve been f’n with them for years.
Well.. as a deftones girl-fan myself, this sure sucks. I've been a closet fan for 3 years now and I'm slowly phasing into wanting some merch, I actually started shopping for a saturday night wrist shirt today before finding this video in my feed. I hate that i may potentially get confused with a bunch of e-girls who only know 1 or 2 deftones songs..
Felt. I've been a fan myself for 3-4 years now and I feel like people are gonna see me as another e girl who's only into them for the trend when I've listened to damn near their whole discography 😭
Why be authentic, why be spontaneous? when i can be *Trendy*™
6:39 it's more like 8 minutes unfortunately
Good inclusion of the pic of the best lead singer of any band; Matt Christman.
One thing you forgot to mention about Stephen Carpenter getting hit by the car was the huge settlement he got from the driver which allowed him to buy a bunch of gear.
Watch their cover of If only tonight we could sleep, and you’ll see the moment that goth girls adopted deftones
"the insurgency of the Deftones girl" is comedy gold. i think part of the resurgence was part of that small wave of "slowed+reverb" mixes of alot of deftones stuff around covid time.
