When that kid said "this isn't even music" It punched me right in my soul. 😔
THAT KID IN PARTICULAR MAKES ME FEEL UNFATHOMABLE ANGER
Don't worry, these aren't even people. They're Californians.
@@manictiger Hey! I'm from California... 😕 Lol.
When that kid said “this isn’t even music” I wanted to punch him right in his stupid fucking face
What these dumb shit think is music is trash talentless hack bs
As a dude who coordinated guitar lessons for 5 years up until very recently... GenZ is way more accepting of metal than previous generations. These kids.... They're outliers.
I don’t doubt it, honestly. I think we realized very quick that this was just rage click bait. Haha
@@TankTheTech Honestly, a few years back, Doja Cat did that metal version of Say So, Poppy won Best Metal Performance for Blood Money, and we started seeing artists like Mothica.
Pop has accepted metal. Kids haven't accepted music.
Thank you for reminding me of reality and restoring my faith that the world is not all normies.
@@Breaker197 no problem. The kids today are okay.
They're not outliers. The React people curate their reactions a lot, cut alot of things and sometimes edit crucial things. It's as fake as a pair of boobs in California
As a Gen Z, I had the melody for Wait and Bleed stuck in my head for the longest time. It wasn't til like a month or so ago that I finally figured the name of the song was. I already love the band.
When my dad left for the last time my grandma said to go through his cd's in the garage. Ride The Lightning looked so cool i was 9 i rode around town all day with my cd player jamming fght fire with fire for hours lol. They brought metal to me. A couple years later, Slipknot hit the scene. Even with the explicit warning, my grandma bought the self title on release. G-ma. Have a great day everyone ❤
grandmas are awesome like that.
mine bought me twisted metal black when i was 12 even though it clearly said M for mature and had 18+.
love you grammy, rest in piece.
Same story here with Metallica then saw slipknot live at the London arena it was epic.
im sorry but why ffwf i despise it and others say its so good 😭
Yo grandma hard af
I apologize for my entire generation
Edit: I fixed my spelling
tbh same
Yall act like ur the only gen z to listen to slipknot and korn😭
@@copaxan if you think about it most gen z dont know who slipknot korn and other metal bands are 😭
@@viiinn. insane take
there's no need bud. every generation has chucklefucks.
As someone who's in his teens now, i have to say Slipknot, SOAD, Marilyn Manson, Korn and Linkin Park are the bands i enjoy the most
Check out Gideon, they’re the band that acted as the stepping stone to into heavier metal. If you like all of those bands, you’ll like it even heavier (try “2 Deep” or “champions”)
wait until you get into Tool my friend \m/
Ah yes, a bean of culture i see.
Whooo!
There is hope for the younger generations yet!
mines cannibal corpse and slipknot
As a genz, i don’t understand these kids, i love heavy metal, if i had to choose a genre to listen to for the rest of my life it would be metal
I love metal and I'm a late Gen Z (2009) lol
Same here !! >
@@shadowstar1616 Me too!! I am new to Slipknot and I am really into it.
Born 1998, i was listening mostly pop music and eletro most of my life, it all changed around 2016 when i started listening to metallica thx to my good friend, and I feel so blessed.
@@shadowstar1616 real
They (anybody that didn’t see the video when it came out lol) will never understand the impact that the video to “before I Forget” had on us fans.
I still love that video to this day. It takes me back to the very first time I saw it.
You nailed it perfectly Tank 🤘
"I am a worm before I'm a man,I was a creature before I could stand, I will remember before I forget.. before I forget this.."
Being from Iowa, where everybody listens to country, I'm proud to claim slipknot.
Rode through your state and I can agree people definitely listen to country there. Nothing but fields and turbines 🤣
Pride of the 515
I've been living in Iowa since 2005 and I've come to the realization that there are 3 things this state is known for: farms, meth, & F#@%ING METAL!!!!
@@darthmalluss7672 100% pure accuracy lmfao
I used to listen to country, between 1998-2002... then 9-11 happened and so many country artists after showed their true political colors, then turned me off of it. Made me realize why gen-X generally hated country.
I’m gen z and I absolutely adore Slipknot. They helped me through so much and like a lot of people have said, they opened me up to heavy metal and they made me want to play guitar and they’re my therapy
🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
Same
I’m a part of Gen Z, but they don’t represent me
Same here
🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
Thanks for defending that kid when people made fun of his sexuality in the comments. I really appreciate it, takes a lot of bravery and respect for someone to do that.
No it's not It's just plain the right thing to do straight gay or anything however when people are called out for making it their entire personality it's totally fair It's cringy anyone who makes a single thing most of their life and topic is just annoying and very boring to talk to let's get that straight that Twitter shit gets old fast 😐...
@@dankdaze42069 How about you stop judging others and just mind your own business dude
@@dankdaze42069yeah, one of my friends are gay. They don’t make it their personality and they are chill, they just happen to be gay.
I thought he was defending all of them, they all seem gay
@@dankdaze42069Agreed. I don't care who you're attracted to.. just maybe toughen up a bit? Do all Gen Z'ers act like little baby princesses?
First time we heard Slipknot in '99, me and all my friends went to the nearest mil surplus store to buy one piece work suits and drove to a year round halloween shop to find what we could to build our own masks. That was a fun halloween year.
To be quite honest being a part of Gen Z myself I literally went through middle and high school listening to Slipknot and other metal bands, they really got me through it all
They get a lot of kids through middle and high school because of how metal music helps calm anger faster than other genres of music. Yes, that is a true fact. There have been studies showing on average, listening to metal/rock music when angry lets people calm down faster than listening to calm/relaxing classical music.
@@nephalos666 I'm 41 and it's still the same 😂😂😂
Slipknot, A7X, and SOAD we’re my therapy bands in high school.
❤
@@nephalos666 Listening to Hip-Hop must have a different affect on Gen Z then.
As a gen Z kid (2002), this hurts me. So many young people are too quick to judge music genres. I listen to a lot of different genres, I try to stay open-minded.
as a 2006 kid, I push my fingers into my eyes
2005 kid metal is a staple in most of/and my lives, and then there's the others who have pop as their staple but yk we all got our preferences
agreed, as another 02 kid. although, i am a metalhead and listen to pretty hardcore death metal during the day
@@snoozebbkf3389 i got that reference:)
The criteria has to be within the genre. I find numetal bands like slipknot cringe with the testosterone antics. Pantera is borderline but ok because of the artificial harmonics. Beyond that, just give me metal with a story and texture, not hatred and insecurity.
You chuckling warmly to their cries of "ohhmygawwddah" is so funny hahaha
I've run into the original band. I was guitar shopping and they were just checking out. Was weeks before they dropped their first single. One of my best memories
It's not even a gen Z thing, back when I was a teenager my classmates called me suicidal just cause I listened to "screaming music" lol.
I feel like the generation who can respect and appreciate music the best is gen z. Idk tho cause I love listening to different music genres.
@@CepellinGluglu IMO, the younger generations always respect the music of the older generations. Think about how many times you've heard, "Dude, today's music is crap. Back in my day we listened to..."
My dad's dad loved old-school outlaw country like Hank Sr., who my dad picked-up when listening to Elvis and The Beach Boys, while he and my mom both started rocking-out to bands like The Who, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc., all the way through the 80's. Then my dad turned me onto Clapton, SRV, and ZZ Top, while my mom got me into NIN and Tool....which led me to ask: who's the heaviest band out there? Some dudes on a BBS turned me onto Napalm Deth and Cannibal Corpse, and all Hell broke from there. lmfao
I've expanded my tastes far beyond those scopes ever since, of course; loving jazz, country, folk, bluegrass, rock, metal, hip-hop, rap, classical. I've got everything from Burn the Priest to Moon Hooch to Tchaikovsky, and even some Hank, Sr., too! (fuck the rest of the Hanks, they suck)
I think it's generational; I try to be polite and optimistic as possible, and despite loving some modern music I learn about every day, it's a bit surreal to realize we'll never see another mainstream Guitar God again. Relics of the past, unfortunately. :(
when i got to college I had burned cds of heavier bands that I listened too. Only time I was ever asked why I listened to cut myself music.
@@charlieschuder9976we can challenge the system of nerds manufacturing music rather than people playing it. We already are with noah kahan and Benson boone
It also doesn't help that all the reactions are fake. Some of the people on old kids react videos stated that they liked certain things and were basically forced to say they hated it. Just for a mediocre video
This channel is known to ask questions that will lead the reactors to respond in a certain way. Past reactors have come out and said they weren't allowed to speak their minds. The editors would cut out what they really said.
That's interesting because I remember learning that the guy s who run the channel, the Fine Bros, come from a heavy metal loving family.
@@sweiland75 I think the Fine Bros. have stepped back from production these days (correct me if wrong). However even back in the earlier days, I think their own interests/passion/love would probably have been set aside for comments that would get the most attention/clicks
@@brentos-the-mentos they stepped back years ago after a scandal involving blackface... And reports of horrible shit that went on at the company. The channel is a shell of itself. It's ridiculous the whole saga about that channel is just sad.. Went from one of my favourite wastes of time to a channel I stopped watching because it was clearly narrated and cringeworthy.
@@sweiland75 yeah. They had their Dad and others react to Slipknot at one stage. Rammstein also if I remember correctly.
100% it's definitely made to have them say things that'd get reactions from metal fans and they succeeded, metalheads all over the place commenting how bad tiktok generation is, how they don't appreciate screaming or not understand metal, etc. they achieved what they wanted, got their reactions from metal community and clicks and views with it😅
This videos the reason I started listening to metal, thanks!
I was more of a Killswitch Engage/All That Remains in my teenage years, but then I saw a vid of Corey Taylor leading the crowd in a rendition of the Spongebob theme made me a solid fan of Slipknot
I’m part of gen Z and I can’t understand why we’ve all become so sensitive to a lot of things this type of music is therapy for a lot of people sometimes you just want to let it out man.
i can legit say slipknot, linkin park, and disturbed were my major therapy music under 18 and why i survived my teens. (others too ofc, but those were the ones i got the most from then) now id add in soundgarden/audioslave and greenday(particularly the first album, the lyrics are so funny its just hard not to smile no matter how depressed i am). It really is just that for a LOT of people. Therapy in the form of music. It can be so comforting knowing you are not the only one suffering through this shit we call life. In some ways im glad these kids dont get slipknot, it means they likely are happy and have never had a major issue in their entire life. Its rare to find someone who loves metal but grew up "normal".
Also extreme metal has been around since the early 80’s. Extreme I mean screaming music. Grindcore and death metal started in like 82/83. So kids now of days are pussies. I grew up on metal.
because those people arent real people, i mean come on. the react channel pick out the most NPC ass humans
Is my therapy and I'm gen z
Because everything has be nice soft pink purple and gay and you need to pick a new gender dont forget about that
My daughter is “Gen Z”. She loves Slipknot, Korn, Post Malone, honestly her interests are everywhere musically. Sure she was raised listening to heavy music but she found a lot of stuff on her own. I was raised on country, but found metal. Kids are influenced partially on what parents listen to, but also have the freedom to choose from so many different kinds of music. Both of my kids have an open mind to music.
And Post Malone likes Infant Annihilator which closes this beautiful circle :D
@@Sunrunner663 yeah Post is a big metalhead. I'd like to see him do a metal album.
He is busy platina mágia the gathering ön livestream nowadays
i’m gen z i grew up on things like snoop dogg kanye tupac and biggie with my dad and my mom mcr afi sex pistols basically hip hop emo and punk and i went and found metal by myself (while nu metal being my personal favorite) my parents definitely influenced my music taste and the music has genuinely helped me through so much. I wouldn’t be where i am or who i am if i hadn’t discovered these genres and bands like slipknot and korn have been some of the most influential bands to me throughout my life.
@@devislittlesister3135 slipknot and korn are not even good metal where would you be once you discover real metal?
My Gen Z kiddo's favorite band is Slipknot. I love that we can go to shows together. Last Mother's Day she took me to see Bloodywood and we had a blast. When she was growing up (she's an adult now), I exposed her to as many genres of music I could. She's just like me goth with a whole lot of metal.
I’m glad to be able to admit I was born 2005 and have listened to slipknot since 2009, thanks Mama for opening up my music tastes
Before I get any replies, my first ever song from slipknot was dead memories, I was not listing to heavy metal at 4, but that was my favourite song as a kid, and then when I was around 7 or 8 I started to expand to their heavier stuff
I think Slipknot is the heaviest thing they've reacted to and the funny thing is that Slipknot is only middle of the road as far as how heavy things get
Hehe. You are so right.
Can't wait for "Gen Z Reacts To Gorgoroth"
@@jacksonwilson6637 'Gen Z reacts to Goregrind' would get me watching
No joke, I just told my wife the other day that I wouldn't even consider Slipknot that heavy compared to the other metal bands I listen to nowadays. Haha
Not a big slipknot fan myself as it's way too tame for my taste.
Me seeing Slipknot at 8 years old on TV: "this is my personality now"
Same
Yes
Yeah pretty much
Teenagers make dumb statements all the time. I used to shit on music that wasn't produced by real instruments because of "skill". Being an audio engineer is just about the most difficult, tedious job you can have in music. Now I'm a rapper who makes his own beats using loads of analog and digital sounds
Growing up in the 80s I was drawn to metal because of constant repetition of pop music playing everywhere and always about love or breakups. Even today I go around trying to find physical music of heavy metal and I am happy that it is hard to find. Yes I know I can find it online and that takes away the fun.
Man, I'm Gen z, and this makes me cry. I'm 14 and a girl, and I love Korn, Slipknot, Slayer, Exodus, Metallica, Megadeth, Cannibal Corpse, Slaughter to prevail, Dream Theater, Dio, Black Sabbath, and others. Metal music is my world. 🤘
🤘4 life
Hah, KoRn was my fav band when I was your age, one of my fav songs at that time was “Hollow Life” 🤘
@@saltyark7564 love the whole untouchables album
You give me hope
@@the_man_you_have_searched_for It's the least I can do lol
I'm a 45 YO dad and my son is about twelve and I have been listening to Metal music my entire life and when I heard my son commenting to me, while listening to Slayer.. "Dad, this is actually really good and awesome..".. a tear rolled from my eye. And, the track was raining blood.. That moment made me smile and tear up at the same time. A future metal-head was born inside my son at that moment. And he was whistling the melody allday after that. One of the best days of my life as being a metalhead-dad.
the day my now 17 yo and 9 yo decided that SOAD and Slipknot etc were cool made my heart grow 5 sizes! Now that's all I hear in the house Psychosocial from one room blasting and Chop Suey from another!
In the series of Things never happened. Which episode is this?
I salute you sir on this wonderful life achievement! My son is 3 and I have been slowly introducing some metal songs, some are too 'scary' as he says but some he likes, but just gotta keep at it.
I've been into rock and heavy metal since I was a baby. This video was hard hard to watch. Oh god...
he aint wrong now if he ain't heard megadeath show him
My favourites!!! I remember the first time I heard Wait and Bleed. We had a show like MTV when I was growing up (in Australia) & I'd stay up and record metal songs on VHS. Wait and Bleed came on in the new releases section & blew my little teenage mind. I was lucky enough to see them live in 2003, they were AMAZING
My son is Gen Z and definitely into metal. Grew out his hair, learning how to play Bass guitar, his dad and I got him a battle vest and buy him patches for good grades. He's more into Megadeth, Motorhead, Metallica (mostly because of Cliff Burton, loves him), Overkill, etc. As a Mom I love it too 🤘
That’s awesome!
Didn’t have a good relationship with family when I hit that phase.
I remember the long awkward mid-lenght hair you can’t do anything with.
@@reedy_9619 Lol, that's how my son is right now. He wants his hair to grow fast to get out of that stage already 😄
@@dorkysophie6906 LOL. I'm a 33 year old metal head and grew my hair out the first time during covid. It's now almost down to my waist. That shoulder length hair is an awkward phase. Hopefully he'll be okay with the effort it takes to properly care for it. Takes some getting used to.
“I like metal, but HEAVY metal is a little too much for me”
Er.....you....what do....oh boy, where do I begin?
The second hand embarrassment is killing me 💀
It's like saying "I like ice cream, but cold ice cream is a little bit too much for me"
I’m guessing that he thinks “heavy metal” refers to metal music which is heavy compared to other metal music. I.e. extreme metal (black, death, deathcore, etc). (Lets be honest, to a person who pretty much never listens to metal, Slipknot probably appear to be borderline death metal).
It’s a pretty logical assumption, really. It just so happens that in the case of the music genre, the entire genre is called “heavy metal”. And “metal” is simply an abbreviation for “heavy metal”
It's soo scary and angry..... 😢😢😢 GROW TF UP LIL HOMIES
@@AmonAmarthFan609 Wasn't he the one that said he liked Limp Bizkit? He probably likes nu-metal like POD or Papa Roach; really, what was really considered remnants of the late grunge rock, so refering to those bands as belonging in the metal genre seems like he's just confused as to what was considered more mainstream metal outfits of the time, like Deftones or Korn, who leaned just as heavily into vocal melodies as they did the chunky, chaotic guitar riffs.
People who say this isn't music, they have no idea about music. You may not like Slipknot and Co but you can't deny that they are amazing musicians. What they do on their instruments is insane. Growlsinging is so hard to do. If you want to do it without hurting yourself you need the perfect technique and a lot of training. It is not specifically what I like, and I do like metal, but I can't stop admiring what they can do. The music is so complex, it is amazing
I found out the hard way that the growl vocals takes a lot of practice cause I got fucking tanked at one of my favorite bars to go to in my area on karaoke night and I tried to do the black metal vocals for immortal's one by one. What happened next was I gave up not even halfway through the song and my throat being severely sore for a few days.
Funnily enough, metal is the most complex of all music genres, instrument wise.
@pascalpodszus8091 absolutely I agree with you. Musically fantastic, I just not so good with that kind of singing, although I recognise the art in it
@@kaelynshea5533 i am shouting, screaming and growling for about 15 years now, and i feel confident in my skill for like 2-3 years now. It takes huge amounts of practice to get good at it, so don't push yourself too hard, it will click at some point 👌
They probably like kanye so that should tell you everything about their grasp of music 😆
That patch behind your neck on the pillows thing had be going like that meme from ratatouille where the guy is reading the note reversed so it goes to "bad" to "good"
I didn’t even grow up on metal. But once I found this. I went to concerts I learned about mosh pits and I’ve had a great time ever since. It’s a shame that there’s some talented bands that are forgotten
Life has come full circle.
My parents in the late 80's: "This is just noise"
Kids in 2022: "This is just noise"
Hey Gen Z, prepare to completely hate the music your kids love. Your own parents completely failed you.
Slipknot is terrible. I used to be obsessed with them in high school when I had the self titled album. Then Iowa came out, and I hated it! Even self titled is super cringe now.
But your parents generation wasn't soft and offended by everything
I promise they chose the few weirdest Gen Z who haven't heard of them. In my highschool, EVERYONE at least knew Slipknot. Most people liked them. Don't get your hopes too far down, the worst of Gen Z gets noticed cause the rest of us could not care less about social media and the rest of it
im gonna be the only gen z with a slipknot and slayer tattoo
@@die2no well,technically,they were,anything anti-religious and whatnot
My nephew went into his "edgy phase" with Disturbed, made me listen to this band "I probably hadn't heard about" and I could see his soul leaving his body as I started singing along to the classics. At least he got over it pretty quick and we bonded over many other bands he thought he had discovered.
"You probably haven't heard of this very mainstream band" 💀
Kids these days.
"i listen to a band called Metallica, you've probably never heard of them they're so underground"
Disturbed? What a 🍎 🍌 🍉
My son, have your heard the gospel of our lord and savior Nile?
How about Cuntcrusher by infant annihilator?
No?
Cmon down, I fit gangs of that shit. I'll teach ya the heavy ways.
@@jarrodhall3686 did you even watch the video? quit being insensitive
Teens in School Of Rock are currently playing and loving heavy songs; my guitarist's son is 17 and recently learned Painkiller on drums.
I am doing my best to prevent my son ending up like this....
What, a musician in a killer band?
Good luck with that.. seriously I mean that. I hope he gets exposed to some decent music via yourself or by himself. If social media didn't exist he would probably be alright 🤷🏻♀️
@@cwrichardson3 WHAT? You mean slipknot actually hired someone that could play an instrument, and keep time? That's new and different.
I tried my hardest played all my favorite bands all the time when he was growing up, got him into drums, guitar etc. inevitably he chose his own taste and its definitely not metal lol
Same, only I’m trying to get my daughter back into metal. From early on in her life, til about 7 years old, she loved the metalcore & Deathcore I listened to. She’s almost 12 now and I actually think she’s done a complete 180 and listens female rappers which is the Bane of my existence lol.
Gen Z here and I’ll just say I love Slipknot to no end. I can listen to Subliminal Verses any day as it’s everything I want in a metal album. Slipknot is also one of the few bands that is inspiring me to learn how to play Drums (Rip Joey).
I made it 8 minutes in before the soy was too much. These aren't Gen Z. They're Californians. Their blood is made of Atrazine. I have Gen Z friends and none of them sound like this.
Same! I really want to play drums as well, because of Joey, and as well as Jay. Joey is such a big inspiration for me :)
Same here
Bruh Here too I love This genre 😍
I was about to say the same thing, thank you! It's crazy some people don't think metal is music. It's awesome!
that beercan slam in duality .... accoustic genius :D
imagine growing up in an age where the height of punk themes with angst, anger, and hatred for all things that just kept beating us down.
then comes the horrible post-punk exhaustion, the parties are over, the reality has turned the fire into cold ashes, now we gotta pick our things up and pay.
As a 14 year old gen-zer, I love all things metal. Though I'm more into heavy metal than anything else, Slipknot is the band that introduced me to this genre and I'm forever thankful for the creation of Duality! I hope some of them grow up to realize metal is not just screaming, but it's a beautiful display of talent, skill and soul!
Edit: I'm a 15 year old gen-zer now. Damn, I'm getting old
as a fellow 14 yr old GZer, what is your favorite (metal) band? My personal favorite is Sabaton. edit: also metal sub genre? (power metal for me)
@@iamthrawn damn, second 14 year old I know that likes sabaton, lol. I like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, MegadetH and recently I've learnt to love slipknot again. I'm also into Ghost but they're kinda in a gray area of genres. Mainy MH and JP tho
Power metal? Same, I like me some thrash, too
@@Xvarwerz_bg YO! Great minds think alike. Iron maiden is quite good as well
@@iamthrawn haha, true. Let me tell you, after turning to 8th grade I realized quite a lot of teens listen to Metal in Bulgaria. Half my classmates atleast listen to Mettalica or Maiden. It's a little scary for metalheads right now because we have this artist called DIMOFF. He's like the new craze in Bulgaria, just search him up if you wanna give up on life lol
Slipknot helped me through my psychosis. Only when listening to their first 2 albums I felt at ease, knowing there was someone out there that knew what I was going through and was capable of bringing that 'out there'.
They saved me as well
I call it relaxing music.
Or noise meditation.
Also "Wait and Bleed" is so beautiful and melodic .. I don't know what those people think :)
You remember all those Anime collages they did on youtube ?
same friendo
Same, I was a butcher apprentice with a really broken home listening Left Behind on my way to school. Slipknot gave me the endurance to go on
We're a tougher breed. We were promised lies, gaslit by unqualified quacks, and given a falling empire and we dealt with it with metal and skill-building.
I think Gen Z is the first truly regressive generation, backed by actual statistical IQ data (so, it's not just our subjective perception; it's measurable).
They can't handle any sort of hardship, they can't even handle when you accidentally misgender them. Nearly none of them can lift a 30lb. ammo can. Gen Z splits into a few groups:
1. The people that think it's not a falling empire (delusionaly unprepared)
2. The people that know it's a falling empire and have accepted it, (infinitely demoralized)
3. The people that know it's a falling empire and will be taking over pieces of it (as much as they are likely my enemy, I respect the energy, even if I don't respect it not being directed at the people who caused the collapse
They are weak, substandard, easy to manipulate, easy to destroy, and something is coming to test that. C19 was a joke and this wimpy civilization couldn't even handle that. Wait until a real one hits.
As a metalhead, i just pushed my fingers into my eyes
I'm older gen z (1999) and I grew up on metal. The kids definitely don't represent us all, but I definitely was picked on a lot as a child for my music taste lol, so they are out there. It would be HILARIOUS to watch people like this react to Jinjer. Tatiana's vocals SHRED
As a mom I made sure to have my kids introduced to all genres of music from classical to death core. They have what they like most but they give all music a try because they find that even though they might not like a band in particular they can appreciate the skill and talent they have.
BLESS you ma'am 🙏 you are a fantastic mother 🤘 we need more badass moms like you
Yes!
I do the same and I'm so proud of my son and his friends, they listen to a lot of music and appreciate it!! I know all the songs too and we share and learn a lot of each other!!
Oh my god finally a parent who understands what we like
if thats true you`re a role model for all mothers out there!
I’m 15 years old, and I’m extremely proud of being a metal fan
tf you was born in 2009, I feel old now.
HAHA WE OLD@@blacktemplar2377
@@blacktemplar2377You’re not old though. Neither am I. And I’m 33. We’re still young. If we were old, we would be in our 60’s and older.
just dont ever eat a limp biscuit like the kid at 4:18 and youll grow up just fine
Same Slipknot is literally one of my favorite bands
I was born in 96 and I wasn’t actually born into the metal genre but the pop/hip hop genre yet I ended up as a metalhead and have seen BMTH, Slipknot and Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons live
ive fell in love with duallity when ive first heard on Atv offroad fury i was about 7 years and fell in love more when slipknot got their duality video on youtube but i still remember when it played on Much Music
12:39 okay but negativity aside the "where's spike boy :(" "SPIKE BOYYY!! :D" was so wholesome and made me so so happy. He was my favorite out of the reactions because he genuinely tried to find ways to see how other people could enjoy the music, even if it isn't necessarily his thing.
This makes me so proud of my 16year old daughter. She's a huge heavy metal fan. She came to me for suggestions and slipknot was one of the first bands I suggested. She was instantly hooked. Knows the back stories of all past and present band members, knows all the lyrics and so forth.
Good on ya, love it when parents get their children and into Rock that's how I got into it my father raised me on it
How much does she weigh?
@@dimitriwoiciechowski6561 😆😂 haha she's maybe 90 pounds soaking wet with boots on.
@@devynlich00 it was the same with my dad
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.... !!! Put the youth on to the real!!!
When I was like 4-5 I found my dads cd collection in the garage and got addicted to playing miracle man by ozzy and it has had the best impact on my music taste I could ever ask for in so thankful that I don’t think that new music is better than metal
True talk man!
RESPECT!
A year or two ago I introduced my 13 year old cousin to metal and now he’s learning Slipknot on guitar. I couldn’t be prouder
🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
give him a fist bump for me
what a legend, i hope he branches out even more!
The concept of the Before I Forget video is fantastic. It's easily my favorite SK video. The premise of them having their masks off yet you still dont see their faces is incredibly creative. The little snippets of their faces while their masks hang around the room and everything is genius.
that's the closest we are ever gonna get to see their real faces on MTV 😂😂
even tho i was born as a genz Slipknot is one of the things i grew up with thanks to my dad being a metal head and i love it to this day
Im a 2006 and i listen to metal from 8 years to that part and i partecipate to like 10 show from when i starter to listen metal music including the last ever made show of Pantera here in italy.
My 15yr would would be like, "WTF is wrong with these kids?!" He has a very diverse taste in music, everything from Big Band, Jazz, Country, Alternative, Classic Rock, and Metal. So he can be very critical of other kids and people in general, that can't appreciate the talent that it takes to create and perform music in general.
Same. My dad calls me Kidz Bop because my music preference is all over the place. I can go from listening to Korn to Louis Armstrong to Notorious BIG
Ayyye thats exactly my taste... soul, jazz, psycedelic rock, prog metal, old school hiphop.... thats my stuff!!!!
as a 16 yo, u raised him well in a society that doesnt know good music anymore
@@microwavedpopcorn431 yo same gotta love them
I am thankful that such variety is the norm now. One of the dynamics that stands out to me is the animosity between the disco-heads and rockers of the 80s. It sounds like it was a very limiting way to consume music.
Metal is the music that bonds people.
It also helps with work. Once, the important person I was trying to bond with was a fellow metalhead and things went very smoothly.
Metal heads are one big family 👍💯❤️
You can find 3 or more generations of people in a single concert.
This is really true. I was new to a job, learning stuff I knew nothing about. One of the guys that had been there a while had "Metal" and "Head" tattooed on his forearms. So, I went up to him and started talkin' about music, not work stuff. We got along great after that, and I learned plenty from him.
white zombie got me started on metal. i still go back to it
I'm 14 and I really just started to get into metal and before I started listening to metal I had the same thoughts as them I thought it's just screaming but now I understand it more and I love it
Limp Bizkit were Slipknot's warm-up act at Sonisphere 2011 in the UK - it was an awesome set. It was Slipknot's comeback tour after Paul Gray tragically died, so a surreal experience seeing 120k people who had spent the weekend kicking seven shades out of each other, to a person, crying their eyes out. Up there with one of my favourite memories of all time - festival related. Basically, to that kid who was moaning about screaming - shape up pal!
He didn’t tragically die. He overdosed on drugs like the idiot that he was in real life.
“Oh no! My life is so hard! I’m making millions of dollars but wait maybe if I combine Xanax, fentanyl and morphine together with alcohol I might feel better !!!! Woweeeeeee!!!”
was that the concert where Machinegun kelly verbally attacked them on stage because fans left there concert to go to slipknot
That's wild considering the history between fred durst and corey taylor. I wonder if we ca look forward to nickelback opening for slipknot? 😂
When they say "this isn't music" that is such a strong statement, and it says a lot that people don't realize. Music in any form helps people stay motivated through day to day living. Everyone has their style of music, and almost anything can be music. The word music is such a big word in meaning, and for someone to say a song isn't music just isn't right.
I think it depends who's making that statement. In this case you have a very pretentious person hearing something they don't like and, in their way, screaming to whoever will listen "this isn't music". It would very different coming from someone who was prepared to enjoy something that isn't on their radar. I think this person saw slipknot, thought they weren't cool and blurted out the most disrespectful thing you can say to any band.
yes, i hate it when ppl say that, like ik someone who almost committed suicide and music like this helped him getting him through that hard time
these are just kids that probably dont listen to music much, what could you expect?
This video is a torcher device
7:30 bro you and me both! i was on the edge of my seat waiting to see if they were actually gonna show their faces on camera. i knew before the video even dropped that they were going maskless for it (cuz im a die-hard since day one of the first album) and was seriously invested in the music back then. it really was amazing. 13:37 of course he gets it hes a basic white kid... no amount of gen z can erase viking from ones biology bro...
I’m 16, just getting into Slipknot recently. I find it honestly cool, I stumbled across it on accident, ended up loving it. Listened to a couple of the first albums they’ve made. I’ve never been into metal music and rock music in general. But it’s very awesome to say the least.
As a Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, A Perfect Circle and Rammstein enjoyer I apologise for majority of my generation.
Your generation sounds like my mom did in 1996. So congrats..... Gen Z are basically "Boomers". No wonder Boomers and Gen Z don't get along. You're the same.
@@ADayAtDusk Puscifer too all MJK.
a perfect circle.. nice❤
@@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequenceevery generation has problems with each other. The Gen Z kids will end up being most like Gen Y the same way Gen Y took a lot of things from Gen X even though those two generations fight constantly.
so do i brother
holy shit 1 mil views! congrats Tank haha!!
bro im a 2009 gen z and i absolutely love slipknot, korn, etc idk why everyone else is like this 😭🙏
Slipknot was one of the bands my Christian parents didn't want me to listen to growing up but later in life they learned how much of their music actually helped me learn that others were hurting like I am.
All the way until I was like 12 it was straight k-love, WWJD, Toby Mac, ect for me. Same story as you with myself. Parents didn’t like me listening to slipknot then realized that their songs had deeper meanings. It helps that my dad was a matalica fanboy in his collage years. Either way funny thing is now I listen to phinehas, miss may I, as I lay dying, FFAK, and such so I’ve in a way come back to the Christian music scene lmao
Just pray about it lmao PRAY ABOUT IT, YOU BETTER PRAY ABOUT IT, ope now youre going to hell, the place where fire exists outside of earth and oxygen lmao isn't it crazy how they literally are a death cult
I as part of gen Z can say that metal helped me through a lot of life and I was and am growing up with bands like Sabaton, Rammstein, FFDP and Slipknot. Kinda sad that not a lot of people my age listen to such Music. For me it helps a lot wjth just stressrelief and letting off steam and so do your videos, helping me to get to know more bands! :D
If it makes you feel better, when I was a teenager listening to metal, I didn't feel like I fit into my generation at all either, and got shit for listening to metal. Every generation is basically the same, it's just the youngest ones that get the spotlight and shit thrown at it.
@@TankTheTech Exactly. In school or university, metal heads were the minority. And that was 20 years ago.
Same alternative/nu metal helped me through the pandemic. I was listening to bands like A Perfect Circle,SOAD, and Tool. Btw I came from a r&b / pop/ rap background before the pandemic.
relatable
We gen z metal heads have to seek each other out
When I heard the yassified way of speaking I already knew they wouldn't like or understand it
Yes the finebros are notorious for framing and creating artificial bias in their videos and most reactions should be taken with a grain of salt. I myself am considered Gen Z but my metal journey started with Oomph!'s Labyrinth back in 2011-12 and have been slowly expanding my interests and genres throughout the years, even expanding into breakcore and its many genres.
As for Slipknot, I only recently started listening to them back in the summer of 2023, its genuinely such a great sound and definition, and has helped with a lot of motivation for me between work, school and even my art work. But how I got into them was through a manga artist, Q Hayashida, that is so obsessed with them she'd frequently add references or even draw them in her manga. There's even just a drawing of Corey featured in one of her published sketch books. In fact, I'd almost argue Slipknot inadvertently created Dorohedoro by the constant theming of Masks, the cameos but most importantly, you can actually hear which song influenced specific scenes and story arcs throughout Dorohedoro. Virus of Life, Before I Forget, Duality, and Spit it Out just a handful of the few that immediately come to mind.
So yes, Slipknot has such an influence its basically global at this point.
I am so grateful that I exposed my kids to every type of music I possible could. I caught my oldest listening to the Pinkerton album, my youngest has Deftones on her screen saver and my middle child goes thru just about everything. And they don’t bat an eye when we go from Stones to Tupac on road trip playlists
That’s the spirit of the 90’s - you had your little silos of subculture, but anyone could also listen to anything else. Listening to music was like an expedition to unknown worlds, you never knew what you’d find.
@@trevormoffat4054sad most of my generation doesn’t get this. I listen to EVERYTHING (minus K-Pop I guess), current rap, old rap, all rock, most metal. But I’ll listen to anything that’s put on. Saw Disturbed live last week and haven’t felt the same since! Metal is just different to me, I love it. Disturbed, A7X, 5FDP, and Slipknot are my favorites. They’re just insane, no other way to put it. Incredible, raw talent.
I'm the same way. I can range from stuff like Rick Astley/The Temptations type of music all the way up to stuff like Slipknot or Lamb of God. It always throws people off when they hear a drastic change from something like Queen to Lamb of God 😂
To be honest this is a very SPECIFIC selection of gen z'ers. My youngest brother who was mostly free of my influence (I moved out of the house when he was still a toddler) has a very similar music taste to mine. Obviously his stuff is more modern and Slipknot is what he probably considers "classic" and he may not have the same appreciation for the history of metal but he still gets down to Lorna Shore, Chelsea Grin, Darko and other super heavy bands.
Gen Z here, the video Tank is reacting to or all videos that love shit on us are always cherry picked, obviously metal isn’t for everyone but that extends beyond generations. This is anecdotal, but I’ve seen a huge uprising of metal fans specifically Slipknot (me included), and a huge resurgence of drill (a more violent/real form of gangster rap) rappers like chief keef or king von; to add on to that, fine bros has been exposed to encourage reactions and almost never have any genuine reactions, their videos are scripted
@@clarski7356 Agreed man, when I was still in the Military there were many gen z members. While there were many generational differences, there were also many similarities. Most of the reason we didn't hang out was just due to the sheer age difference, it'd be weird.
This makes me happy to have been born in 82. Makes me sad for the future.
disasterpieces London need to be shown em in full, would love to see that one lol
"Gen Z can't handle metal"
**Shows non metalheads listening to Slipknot**
Incredible content
You can't convince me this Gen Z "reaction" video isn't scripted
and they chooses the (no offense) gayest ones they can find so its ever further than metal heads
@@cooperallford1641 You're not a true metalhead if you're not homophobic and misogynistic
My 15 year-old daughter says that "snuff" is one of her favorite songs, but "heretic anthem" and "wait and bleed" are right up there, too...
🫡 you taught her well
The entirety of Iowa is glorious
Snuff just hits way different not gonna lie
Well now I know how to get rid of gen z. And I’ll enjoy it too
snuff makes me feel like im ascending to the heavens
this let me remember that i listened to acid mammoth and that they were fire, thanks :)
spike boy
slipknot introduced me on metal music
As a Gen Z kid I apalogize for the rest of my gen that doesn't know who they are or hates Slipknot or metal in general.
I myself am a metal head and I love all types of metal
They picked the most sheltered gay libs they could find for this
same. I've been listening to metal since i was born because my dad is a metalhead. I hate my generation.
Dude same fuck gen z i hate it
Same, my parents played Mudvayne to put me to sleep when I was a kid lol
why would you apologize for someone not like some music genre? I mean the majority of the world doesent know slipknot or doesnt like heavy metal, it has nothing to do with gen z...
I am born in 2006 and I just adore metal and slipknot got me into it. most people my age just follow the crowd and can't have their own ideas.
Same
exactly man, they're NPCs
same, they just like what everyone else likes
Exactly, I was also born in 06 and considering I am a drummer who is mainly into metal, this was a stupid video that generalised the whole generation
@@rujhannautiyal3272 yes mate from the drummer point of view as well it’s sad seeing people not have their own opinion and fun
I love Slipknot, first band and album I ever listened too & picked up from Walmart. 1999 was an amazing album, I was in highschool when I got it. I still listen to them & always will. To each their own I guess
I think now might be one of the most lively times for extreme metal in history. I’ve seen countless bands of teenagers doing extreme metal, and almost everyone I know is open to and listens to some form of metal
I am so deep into heavy metal music now that I couldn’t imagine someone not liking it
I am glad these freaks don’t like it.
As a gen z (born 05) I sincerely apologize for those uncultured idiots who don't know good music if it slapped them in the face.
Apology accepted. Your generation has really poor taste in shitty music. Metal forever dude
@@andrewday5800 year, slipknot is my favorite band along with Metallica and slayer and mudvayne, been listening to metal for years and their is really a select people that lisen to it.
@@andrewday5800 Metal forever, this is the way good sir.
Same, born 05 here too. I love sabaton and metallica
1999 on mtv i was 9 years old and i saw slipknot and now i cant change who i am
I LOVE psychosocial! Smite even added it when they did a slipknot event, so now I can have that shit playing during a match!
im a gen z and i absolutely love slipknot, mightve been the music i grew up with but i will stand by slipknot since theyre the first metal band i ever discovered and got me into metal
Same
Same
Same, I’m 13
Me too! I started listening to them when I was 8 and I'm 12 now
I'm 15 I lessen to kpop now and still rock and metal but I've been lessened to more violent than this have y'all seen some of there live concert and they were able to make it look like they someone s cut head off like dude I was 7 I hate these people that one kid makes me want to commit A homaside suicide
As a man born in 2003, this stuff is what I listen to every day. Lamb of God, Ghost, TOOL, A perfect circle, GWAR. My life has been metal. This is not an accurate representation of everyone of our time period. And im probably more loving and accepting of literally everyone and everything than most people you may know. And also like you said, they pick and choose the reactions.
Same here. Born ‘03 and LOVE that type of music. Damn shame how there’s many our age who don’t have similar tastes :/
@@GabrielMcDowell fr man 😔 thats why we gotta make em learn
bro i see you. i teach guitar and can verify a lot of kids your age and younger still like stuff like this. i dont personally. but picking like 3 super similar looking kids reactions to sum up all of gen Z is dumb
GenZ where I live we have local metal and rock, psychadelic rock, alt, nu, whatever bands that are all GenZ members and pull in larger GenZ crowds many times. You just gotta look and you'll see. There's plenty.
@@aidan6536 Oh I know they are there im just merely pointing out the fact that the majority of the older fans are, well.. older lol.
Jaxon n Jayka Both Have Been There For 10. Years..... *They Started When REACT Was Run By The Fine Brothers*
slipknot was the first metal band that i ever have listened to and now I love metal because of them.
I was a freshman in high school when their self titled album dropped, and it became the soundtrack to my teenage years. I absolutely hated my home life, and school wasn’t any better, so Slipknot spoke to how I felt on a daily basis. I don’t listen to it much these days, but when I do it reminds me of those years and all the rage I felt but couldn’t let out. That’s what Slipknot was to me growing up; they were the anger and rage I couldn’t show anyone. They made music that sounded how I felt.
Same, I lived in a tiny town in Northwest Missouri so not far from Iowa and I listened to that album every day on the bus. I was living several miles outside the town too so I just remember riding in the bus on the rural gravel roads forever every day to get home and blasting this on my discman.
Preach dude.
As for the “glad you made a comeback” is a Kpop reference. Basically anytime a group or artists drop something new it is referred as a “comeback.” So it’s in no way knocking on Slipknot, it’s just a “hey you’re still actively making music, so good for you.”
I could be wrong but as a metal head and a Kpop Stan, I’d like to bridge that gap a bit.
Ah, Kpop, okay. That explains why it’s stupid
Im 14 yrs soon 15 yrs old and a huge fan of Metal. For example one of my favorite Bands is Asilaydying or ForToday and many more.
My two Pre Teen kids love Metal and Rock.
My son is Gen Z, however he's grown up with a parent listening to a wide range of music, though predominantly metal. He listens to a lot of different genres and artists.
About 3 years ago he found his favourite band of all time... Slipknot. They are not my taste, but I'm happy that my son has found a band he loves and that he's broad-minded enough to listen what he likes. As Tank said, music is subjective and it's cool now that he and I can exchange songs and talk about the music we like. We don't always agree, but that's cool too.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hey man power to that love that dynamic I don't got a specific genre I stick to I'm. All over the place from 80's rock to modern rap I'm like early gen z
I bet he plays Fortnite and watches stranger things and has a shitty haircut.
@@BOOGiNS wow your just a class A asshat
when i started listening to metal my dad would call it "hate music" which makes me laugh now seeing how backwards that statement actually was, you sir are a good dad!
