Idk the slipknot thing I mean ur right lyrics wise well I don't think its that cringe but stepping back and looking in kind of ish he just delivers it in a very very good way
@@Israel-ri6pl ... I didnt know I posted this as a reply my bad on that but no hate or anything was shocked I saw them on the list but we all have our own opinion
if you want to rate people who make music how about you make your own first and let people judge you. doesnt feel good does it? also dont hide your face if your going to talk trash, it only makes you worse
@@LuciferWolf666 Get a sense of humor. Also never tell me you didn’t like your meal because you’re not a chef or that a movie sucked cuz you aren’t a filmmaker 🙄 By your own logic who are you to judge this video… where’s YOUR channel?! 😂
@@MetalTrenches again you wanna talk shit about people who have a better lifestyle than you go ahead, but dont get ass hurt just cause people dont agree with you, i mean this whole comment section fully disagrees with you XD
I'm sorry, but I really don't get the logic behind Ice Nine Kills and Motionless In White being more cringe than Attila and Limp Bizkit. Attila should be in its own category above pure cringe in my opinion.
I concur.
Facts ice nine kills especially, they are true hustlers at its finest, they've been grinding it out since 2002 and they finally blown up after almost 20 years of not getting really noticed and they're having so much fun with horror+metal and they are making so much money off of not just music but off of there tours, merch, and events like conventions and apps. They're killing it
Ice Nine Kills just trys to seem edgy by making metal music out of horror movies which is just a turn out to be an edgefest of shitty music
@@thesicness5158 "An edgefest of shitty music" I think you got Attila and Ice Nine Kills mixed up there bud
@@thesicness5158 they didn’t move to horror movies for edge. They moved to horror because they LOVE those movies. By calling INK cringe, you’re calling The Living Tombstone cringe. Yes, they’re corny…..but so are almost all of the movies they wrote about
After watching five minutes of this, I realize I love cringe.
Embrace it
@@MetalTrenchesI love cringe too, Hollywood Undead, INK, MIW, Falling In Reverse.
I really just enjoy rap rock/metalcore
It’s always fascinating hearing metal fans say “bro, being edgy is cringe”. When all of the classic metal bands were edgy as hell. By their definition metal itself is cringe. Death, Slayer, Exodus, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest these dudes were and still are edgy and angry, that’s what metal is.
Same. I love Creed, Limp Bizkit, FFDP. The more people claim to hate it, the more I like it lol. It’s mainstream music for a reason. Now, I’m gonna go blast some Nickelback.
Maybe take some guitar classes dude. You're a victim of modern slop
ice nine kills is so good live though. they might be too theatrical for some people but it makes for an incredible show. the vocals are amazing too.
As someone who got introduced to them through Knotfest this last week, yeah they’re incredible live
Iron Maiden is pretty theatrical onstage but it’s cool when they do it
INK is f*cking amazing! Been a fan for about 3 years now saw them last year and hopefully next month too plus the vocalist is from my state of Massachusetts,got to meet him super chill nice guy.
INK live is the cringiest thing you’d ever watch, ESPECIALLY when put with an amazing band like slipknot
@@slimypablo I like the theatric flair they have, especially since all their songs are inspired by horror movies, wouldn’t make sense not to have the theatrics
as they say "never kill the cringe in yourself, kill the part of yourself that cringes"
Totally agree, cool music videos for slipknot means they're cringe? I find this guy cringe for not just lightening up and enjoying the cool videos and not acting too cool for it
Unless you're a weeb or a furry, then kill the cringe with fire as fast as possible
@@dabtican4953 0:17 somebody didn’t pay attention
@@MetalTrenches Bro I actually said we're all having fun here in my mind before I wrote that comment it's not a legit opinion and criticism of mine then okay? I was just fooling around you can't criticize me if I just said I'm goofing off first!
@@dabtican4953 Not everyone's a mind reader my friend. Just because you think you're goofing, nobody knows your thoughts, so nobody can know you're joking around
How is Slipknot cringe? Maybe their imagery is cringe to some people, but their lyrics come from a dude venting out about things from his rough past all the way to just issues in the world he feels strongly about. The music itself may not be for everyone, but it definitely isn't cringe.
I’m a fan but it’s still definitely got cringe elements. Cringe doesn’t equate to bad
@@MetalTrenches I don't think that word means what you think it means
They have cheesy lyrics and song and album names. Like he's trying to hard to be poetic and it falls short.
Shawn crahan all in his own is super cringe. He has got to be the most arrogant musician to not know how to play an actual instrument ive ever seen.
Slipknot died with Paul and Joey. 20 years ago, they were groundbreaking. Now, they're an over glorified radio rock band.
I’m have to disagree with slipknot, MIW and INK
Fr
same
Who’s on your profile pic?

@@thir13enghost1 gracias mi amigo
Yeah, these bands are all mega cringe, but then again, you're wearing a mask with sunglasses over it, so the bands ain't the only cringe here.
Clearly you didn’t watch the intro…
it is not the mask or the sunglasses, it's the use of it and the personality, metal trenches is not cringe at all.
@@inma5665 disagree
You just repeated what he said at the start
@@inma5665 Wears a silly getup and doesnt like skydancer or lunar strain. CRINGE!
I can’t believe 75% of this list is even on here
Why?
They all deserve to be on here
@@bladempale1751 motionless, ink and kid rock don't deserve to be on here
@@shadowedlvnar1635 was wondering the same thing about miw, ink, mh etc
Alot of Hot Topic mall rat scene kids are triggered i see lmfao, defending these $hitty little bands. Only band in this list im guilty of liking in my youth is Slipknot. I also so akwardly like that one kid rock song, "Youve never met a mofo quite like me" lol. but thats it.
As a recent INK fan (2019) I did think they were ‘metal cringe’ but in a very good way. They 100% know they are super theatrical and that’s what makes them super fun especially in concert. Not only that but their videos are phenomenal. They do the horror genre well.
Metal Slim Shady
It is such a cross between musical theater and metal in the stupidest and most amazing way
Their new stuff is good but doesn't compare to when they hadn't blown up. Every trick in the book is their best album IMO and they're easily the best band I heard live when they toured for the album.
Y’all are taking this guy’s opinion way too seriously. If you like a band, you like a band. Who fucking cares?
The voice of sanity
man hates without wanting to get hate back. Like bro u can call it a joke all u want, it's still someone's fav bands and ur sitting here calling them lame, like come on Where's the entertainment in that?
Had to stop at Ice Nine Kills. Have you seen any of the Child's Play movies? They perfectly captured the essence in Assault & Batteries. What was even more odd was that you said Limp Bizkit is at least self aware and that makes them a less cringe. I don't know why that wouldn't apply to Ice Nine Kills also. The song writing is top notch as well as the lyrics.
I can respect differing opinions but the reasoning has to be a lot better than it was here.
Seems to me that for all of the “it’s not meant to be taken seriously” talk, it’s mostly the INK fans in here being WAY too serious who can’t handle even MILD criticism. You may not find it cringe, but a LOT of people do. Regardless, this is just supposed to be some light-hearted fun. Not really worthy of this level of defensiveness. Just enjoy your music. No one is telling you otherwise here.
@@MetalTrenches You seemed to miss the point of my comment. The issue wasn't that you found them cringe, that's fine. I expected better reasoning than "they're cringe 'cause of their horror image and literally the last line of Assault & Batteries".
It seems to me that you haven't even listened to the band and based on your reply, can't take valid criticism well 😉
@@AnzaShadow Thats what I was saying aswell. I wasnt mad about any criticism. I was mad about lack of valid points and saying "theyre cringe cuz they do horror stuff and swear"
Watch my review of The Silver Scream if you want more detail. Videos require pacing, and I could have spent at least 30 minutes going into detail on these. It’s not meant to be a deep analysis.
@@MetalTrenches I watched and even though I strongly disagree I can see why you don't like it, though bringing up your age seemed weird considering it doesn't really matter. Our maturity is more or less the same after the early twenties.
Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White, and Slipknot being more cringe than Limp Bizkit and Attila? Hahahahahaha nah not even close. Attila and Limp are like FFDP levels of cringe no questions asked. If anything Ice and Motionless are "cringe but fun" and Slipknot belong in like mild cringe.
@@theminecraftjester1738 exactly?!?! And like "oh but they're self aware" no the fuck they are not. Like sure maybe NOW. But then? 😂😂😂 fuck nah. And by that metric of being self aware I9K should be higher on the list.
Limp bizkit were already saying they were ridiculous back in their day.
@@elponchex saying it as a slang sort of thing and or for shock value/an excuse doesn't count. They pretty much just said it the same way people say they're "mentally ill" now as something that supposed to be quirky, cute, or an excuse for their toxic bullshit.
Thank God someone pointed out the fact that he put slipknot above limp Bizkit, unreal
@@brandon_crow1291 they were always fairly self aware. They’d goof off a lot and say stuff like “Limp Bizkit sucks don’t you ever forget!” and at Ozzfest one year they emerged from a giant toilet bowl on stage. That being said, I don’t get how someone could say Ice Nine Kills isn’t self aware or is less self aware than LB lol
I strongly disagree about ice nine kills and motionless in white
Especially MIW their lyrics are amazing! Also Chris Motionless is a really nice down to earth guy. He has an amazing stage presence and his voice is better live than a lot of bands with 10x his following
Not saying anyone is not nice or even not talented. But these lyrics… I could have given so many more examples. “She loves me 'cause I like to give head like a zombie
(Eat eat eat!)
Till her insides are on me."
@@MetalTrenches it’s literally a metal band 💀💀 if you listen to the lyrics a lot of them are weird like that
@@offbrandolivegarden not at all though
@@nikoraasu6929 buuuut a lot are :)
@@NightFox-oj5lr if you listen to shitcore, sure
We Are Not Your Kind is Slipknot's most mature album so I don't think that they got more cringey later on in their career. The Grey Chapter (one of my least favorite albums) is very mature as well. WANYK is definitely my favorite slipknot album by far.
Iowa for me lol
The grey chapter is their worst album by far
@@user-zm7zl9lc6j for you*, not by far
Custer chorus - cut cut cut me up and fuck fuck fuck me up. I love it but I wouldn't call it matured
Their best album is definitely self tilted
damn dudes, nothing wrong about being cringe
accept your inner cringe and be free
100%
Ink and miw sound amazing and their lyrics are super fun, they could be the most cringe bands on the planet and I would still love them.
sameeeeee
Hell ya!
Creatures was the epitome of Motionless In White. Infamous and Reincarnate weren't bad, but I'm not a fan of anything after that. Most of Graveyard Shift and Disguise is just radio pop metal, and STEOTW isn't much better. Creatures is the best album they ever put out, and the only things they had at the time that was different than now, were TJ Bell, Josh Balz, and Angelo Parente. Clearly those 3 were the best things to happen to Motionless In White. Anymore, they're just a pop band with screaming, distorted guitars, and "gothic" imagery.
That’s fine. No argument there
@@jareddoran6605 I’m sorry, pop band??? Nah I can’t even
slaughter to prevail, motionless in white, ice nine kills slipknot & memphis may fire should not be on this cringe list there all great bands there's nothing cringe about them at all 😒
Sometimes it’s hard to see cringe when you’re inside of it. Like if your room smells but you’re in it so much you’ve adapted to it. Or maybe you’re just young and hindsight hasn’t kicked in yet. Either way, just embrace it. We’re all a little cringe.
i speak russian , and when i listen to slaughter to prevail lyrics , russian or english , all of them appear cringe to me . Man i wish i didnt speak any of those , cuz now i cant really enjoy , when all they sing about is how they can fight anyone or kill anyhing
@@MetalTrenches You’re a grown adult wearing a mask on the internet talking about cringe.
@@RunfasterthenU I literally say this IN the video. Get a sense of humor.
@@MetalTrenches Nonetheless Slipknot self-titled and Iowa albums were brutal af and influenced many people
he is one of THOSE guys isn't he ?
Yeah, definitely.
our ENEMY.
he’s the real cringe here
Y’all out here just further making my point 😂 Also: aiding my video with all of the engagement. My thanks to all of you for making it a smashing success in the algorithm.
@@MetalTrenches wouldn’t call 16k views a smashing hit but compared to ur other vids i guess u could consider it one. you’re welcome for the engagement u need it bud
I subbed immediately after the Trapt slander. The mention of their Twitter presence was an added bonus because I forgot about how hard it is to deal with teenage angst in your late 30s. They're really raising awareness of people who peaked in high school and never let it go.
😂
Stray from the path is the extreme left version of trapt that stops their live sets to call the fans Nazis and sings a song that's literally just "fuck you Nazi punks" over and over😭😭😭
Every metal band is cringe in a way, when I first got into metal I found it pretty painful to watch but I think I’ve been normalized. Pretty much metal=cringe but good cringe.
Semi based
True, but honestly every form of music is cringe besides classical. Only the metal bands on this video have ever made me cringe as hard as some pop and modern rap songs have.
I didn’t think anyone found the mask for Slaughter To Prevail cringe. To me it’s their best selling point to differentiate themselves from other Deathcore bands. Need a shit tier Slipknot ripoff list. Some try the mask thing and end up looking so bad
Slaughter to prevail to me is like slipknot but heavier and Russian. It’s also got its unique elements, but it reminds me a lot of slipknot and I love it
@@tuffford9894 I can tell
I feel like people don't really get the difference between edgy lyrics and cringey edgy lyrics.
Like Acid Bath, Sludge Metal legends, have edgy lyrics, but they back them up with stellar guitars, drum work and fantastic melody composition and quality vocal work, and there's a level of genuineness that's not present with alot of modern like "radio metal" bands, that skirt around being explicit for the sake of making money, they were hard drug addled swamp people from Houma, Louisiana, and I say that with the utmost love and respect for the entire band. But like anyone who can write a song with the lyrics "Eat My Dead Cock", followed shortly by the lyrics "Eat My Cold Shit" and make it sound like the hardest, heaviest shit is edgy yes, but not cringe, especially knowing they are widely considered one of the most influential bands to come out of the NOLA scene.
Compare that to a band like Atilla, who have edgy, tough guy lyrics meant to be offensive and explicit but with zero genuineness, zero uniqueness, poor composition, sounding like your garden variety modern metal but worse. They don't have the "edge" to make their edgy and at times even goofy lyrics feel anything but just overwhelmingly cringe.
I firmly believe anyone who uses the word cringe never has an actual argument and just wants to seem better than whatever they're chastising or pick on others for it. Most of this list shouldn't be on here.
The only exceptions are Attila and Trapt.
Ice Nine Kills and Motionless in White are FAR from cringe. They are such power musics with amazing lyrics and like a mix media of rock, i LOVE the theatrics and how bad ass it sounds. I don’t ever know why some would complain it’s too theatrical but it is that very essence why these 2 bands (along with falling reverse) are my favs. There’s this essence of scores, choir, violins and then metalcore *chefs kiss* and this isn’t even touching the lyrics yet.
I think if i met anyone who didn’t like em, I’d just give side eye. Like… huh?
Different strokes. You might be surprised how many people feel that way.
I agree that HellYeah is very cringe in a lot of ways, although I do like a few of their songs. I wish I had a time machine that would allow me to go back to the LD 50 days of Mudvayne- where Chad’s voice was at its absolute PEAK. That was SUCH a good album!
How does one go from Mudvayne to Hellyeah? Hellyeah embraced the butt rock while Mudvayne was experimental to some degree.
Hellyeah is great though.
I STRONGLY DISSAGREE ON THAT HELLYEAH and MUDVAYNE are good rock bands
I am now exclusively referring to my taste in music as "very cringe" because I am addicted to Ice 9 and MIW
Omg... this comment section is absolute gold. So much asshurt 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The metal trenches should do a drinking game like how the metal meltdown does it
Ice Nine Kills is one of the most creative and dedicated metal bands out there today. They but on a better live show and commitment to their concepts better than almost every other band on this list. I’ll defend them forever, so let’s not confuse creativeness with cringe
0:17
Same bro, Ice Nine Kills did what many Death Metal bands and thrash bands should've done, and that is base there albums to horror movies. Corpesgrinder even jumped on a track. How metal can you get 😡
What is creative about taking horror movies and childish halloween costumes and making metal songs about it? That would be like basing a metal band off of fantasy video games and calling them revolutionary and creative
@@kylepetruzziello3321 you clearly have not listened to much of their music
It's cringy scene kid trash..
I honestly love Limp Bizkit. They're not a band that you take seriously lyrically, but I really do love the musicianship. Chocolate Starfish had a lot of John Otto and Wes Borlands best work on it and it was a catchy, fun rock album.
And the lyrics really aren’t that cringe, they are clearly self aware that they are being goofy and irreverent, some people just don’t like the genre they represent so they nitpick shit but then you see what they listen to and its far more “cringe”
I mean there are even some nice moments of clarity in their lyrics, like Behind Blue Eyes. They're indeed a very fun band, and rock and metal fans should keep in mind that it's ok not to take yourself seriously here and there.
honestly man, i just listen to what makes me happy i dont care what band it is lmao
And that’s rad too. This is just entertainment and one man’s opinion
At first I also think Ink is cringe, but damn everything about them is so good I can't stop listeningXD For someone who doesn't know them well, the idea of a band that mostly make songs about horror movies really gives off that "fan songs that soon would become anthems for teens' fandoms" vibe. And it could be very cringey, but if you look at it from the perspective of the band, taking the time to make something for the stories you love isn't that cringe. Especially when I look at the lyrics and the puns, as a person that loves reading, the writing is great.
I'm not saying I wanna fight you or whatever, different opinions so Idk why I'd do that. But that's how I stop thinking they're cringe.
Edit: some of the bands in the video is still cringe for me, but they're so damn good I'll just embrace the cringe. Seeing them being cringey is kinda cute sometimes, makes me love the band more XD
I'm gonna be honest. New three days grace is pretty cringe. I love older 3dg but matt is bad at lyrics, I enjoy some of his songs but overall hes cringe
YES
He sounds like an edgy teen and he's 39 too. Very cringe lyrics. Some songs are fun though. Not gonna lie I Am the Weapon is pretty catchy.
gotta say, being a huge ice nine kills and motionless fan, that thumbnail caught my eyes in an instant. had to check out the video and gotta say, killer. i liked that you never ONCE called any of these bands bad, just told your viewpoint on them. you were respectful when dishing out criticism, and your points made sense. i don’t know why everyone’s up in arms over this video, when you *LITERALLY* said that this was all in good fun at 0:16! people get so blinded by rage that they feel they HAVE to take it on when someone even slightly disagrees with them lol. keep it up, can’t wait to see part 2 with falling in reverse! love that band, and I will anxiously wait for your criticism on them. stay metal \m/
Thank you for being based. I think a lot of these people didn’t even watch the video or just ignored everything I had to say. It’s all in good fun. We love what we love 🤘🏻
Nice pfp 😳
@@lol3342 🤝
For slipknot I can understand but I love all their albums and the lyrics I just find entertaining not seriously
Totally acceptable
Damn I'm a cringe guy.....I love most of these bands. I'm ok with that .
As you should be
I love slipknot, INK, and MIW. I mostly agree with MIW being cringe, but I love the sound and I can get behind the feel of the songs because they seem more genuine then most. Slipknot I don’t think is very hot topic, but while some lyrics I generally love, some are really bad like you said, ide still put them in mild cringe because I think for the most part it’s fine, but the song Get This also exists so I understand your placement. The only one I really disagree with entirely is INK. The songs are well put to together. The lyrics are corny because they are accurately portraying the source material and a lot of love and care is put into the music and their live performances. People like what they like and if it’s not for you, then more power to you. Even though I disagree with you and think some points may not have been the best, you still had good points and unlike others you weren’t outright shitting on these bands, and like you said we’re all a little cringe. Good video.
Based
@@MetalTrenches what? How is this based at all? I don’t get it, literally with INK the songs are about horror movies and obviously they will be cringe cause that’s what a lot of horror movies are… cringe. Look at the one on Friday the 13th. That movie is cheesy as all hell, and the song makes perfect use of that. The movies are campy, hence why the songs are campy.
@@NightFox-oj5lr I'm starting to think he just doesn't like INK in general...
Considering the source material of the lyrics, some songs being from the perspective of the killer as well as the references to scenes in the movie on top of being loyal to the source material, I'd say that INK is at most cringe but fun. Because Spencer is CLEARLY having the time of his life during his performances and does his very best to not only entertain the fans, but make it as memorable as possible. Not to mention the quality of his music videos alone are more work then 70% of bands out there.
@@MetalTrenches Your comment is Pure Cringe.
@@PsychadelicWolf Yeah pretty sure this is less of a (cringe) list and more of a (bands I think people want me to make fun of) video is pointless 🤷 and dumb
Strong disagree with INK. They are the kings of what they do. They love horror movies so much to the point they dropped TWO horror themed albums that were immediate successes. To say that is cringe is pretty poor
Kings of cringe. Isn't that what I said? lol jk I mean like I said respect to them for what they do, but come on... at some point we have to all a spade a spade.
@@MetalTrenches alright alright fair enough 😂
i liked the misfits horror image more tbh but i can respect it. (also they’re different genres anyway)
Yo Hed PE, I got a story about them. Saw them around I wanna say 2004 in a place called the Funhouse in Buffalo NY, it was a Halloween show. There was a contest party, oh and Filter was there. After the show the lead singer of Hed PE came to the upstairs bar and we were like "Hey great show" and we offered to buy him a drink and he was like alright so we did, then he sat at our table and there was like 6 of us. He drank a whiskey drink we got him, talked about how he's tripping on acid, called my friend Janine a Nazi because she was a shaved head Goth, and then asked us if we had weed. We gave him some weed - it was admittedly swag but all that was really available back then - and he was insulted, he was like "Man wtf is this shit? Seedy ass shit!" Then he got up and stormed off. SO anyways, he sucks.
First show I’ve ever seen was Spineshank/Hed pe/System of a Down (all touring behind their debut albums) opening up for Fear Factory (Obsolete just came out). I was in 7th grade and my dad took me. It’s one of my fav memories.
That being said, I’m not surprised MCUD is a piece of human excrement. He’s tried to hitch a ride on the Woke Wagon, and has somehow not been “canceled” for his “offensive” lyrics.
He’s a terrible rapper, lyricist and can’t scream or sing for shhtt. Without the talent of his band, he’s nothing.
To be fair though, EVERY rapper from 90s-00s have managed to skate by without catching ANY criticism from the wokesters.
But hey, that’s Black Privilege for ya.
@@w0undedmakers251 Yeah great, I'm actually one of those leftists you think are too "woke" because we acknowledge and try to solve actual issues in life instead being proud pricks with limited understanding of anything they make broad grand assertions about. So, sell that garbage to somebody else.
Someone should introduce this guy to Klanye West ^^^^^
I love ice nine kills. Haha
Hes kinda like punk rock mba. Both have awful opinions and try to be edgy and don’t understand that some bands make music that’s just supposed to be fun like ink Miw sleep token and slaughter to prevail.
Same they're my favorite band lol
Me too, I just saw Spencer in the thumbnail and thought I'd see what this dude has to say :p
Me too, they are my favorite band, I saw Spencer and was really curious. But I really disagree with him.
same same same
Oh Boy. Atilla. With beautiful songs like ""Callout 2"" where the word 'Fuck' is mentioned 48 times, calling out everyone he dissed on twitter, and making a T-shirt of it.
With several celebreties and singers:
LoganPaul, Ricegum, Bhad Bhabie and so many more.
Definitly a band where insecurities shine like the sun.
And I'd put them at *very* cringe.
INK is cringe in the absolute best way. Some of their songs are WAY too much cringe for me, but they are just so much fun. In an interview with Spencer where someone said that the band wasn’t as kitschy as she expected, he corrected her to say that it was very kitschy. Like people listen to 5fdp and think they are cool. INK has a sound somewhere between metalcore and musical theater, so a lot more listeners know it’s cringe but find it fun.
Alot of Motionless in White fans and Ice Nine Kills fans were in high school during Brokencyde and BOTDF. We were blinded to the cringe by comparison
5FDP is definitely cringe, Bro-Rock/Douche Metal at it's absolute worst!
the motionless in white part made me giggle a little I do have to agree for me its like a guilty pleasure its still cheesy but fun :)
Nothing wrong with that 🤘🏻
Calling Kid Rock "multi decade ambassador of cringe" is so effing perfect.
Idk, maybe I’m biased but MIW is legendary. But I can see it. Also another band I personally love but deserves to be here is Falling In Reverse. Ronnie being a huge asshole doesn’t help anything and their pop punk was kinda horrendous to me
Oh we’ll get to them in Part 2… Thanks for being a normal human being. We ALL like a little cringe.
I was really sad to see ffdp in pure cringe. They are my top favorite band, i feel like you took their songs that are douchey and used that to represent them as a whole. Songs like remember everything and gone away are not douchey at all and they still have a ton like them. But, i do have to agree with the douche aspect. I thought the exact same thing before i listened to them as well. I just dont thing i deserves to be at the top.
Doesn’t mean I don’t think people can enjoy them
People don't Ike ffdp because really of ivan moody like how people hate limp bizkit because of Fred durst
55dp is definitely the cringiest band, they are the nickelback of metal
Gone Away is a cover of The Offspring
Cause it's cool and edgy to dislike a band that's doing well. Their first two albums are groovey as fuck but their ballads are so cringe. They get way too much hate for sure.
Surprised that Infant annihilator didn't make the list. I would have swapped them in for Belphegor (which I disagree with your take, they have a ton of great albums).
I have to disagree with you on slipknot.been one of my favorite bands since I was like 8 or 9, so I don't really get people calling them cringe. But that's just my opinion and I respect yours.
Slipknot should be cringe but fun. I mean come on Custer and Heretic Anthem alone....
I think MIW is the cringiest band ever. Seeing them live it’s nothing but highschool kids on their phones. The backup dancers and the theatrical aspect made me honestly miserable. I honestly enjoyed them before I saw them live. Attila is right there with them .
Remember cringe doesn’t automatically mean trash
Exactly. I never said it did
Ice nine and motionless might be cringe at times but damnit its also very fun
Wrong side of heaven tho for FFDP, for redeeming quality. Probably their only one, but as a veteran with friends who went through what was depicted in the music video, I gotta give credit where credit is due
I do respect them for stuff like that
those metallica lyrics are like metalocalypse lyrixs
That five finger death punch snippet was Celestial level cringe
I compare my enjoyment of 5FDP to my enjoyment of Godzilla movies: maybe not the most intelligent part of its medium, but a whole lot of fun, which is what I’m there for.
when you see all of your favourite bands in the video 💀💀💀
Love what you love
I love how over half my playlist resides in the pure cringe section, yeah I know it’s cringey and corny as shit but hey, it’s my cringey and corny shit
Embrace it 🤘🏻
Now that I think about it, Otep should have been added. Super cringe since smash the control machine. Generation doom…by far the cringiest album I have ever heard.
Well played
@MetalTrenches not gonna lie dude, I low-key just made a Top 100 Cringe/But Fun metal mix, and their basically songs I'd never workout to😅, but if I'm feeling dumb, I blast em whenever✊🏾

INK and FFDP happen to be 2 of my favourite bands. I really love the vibe of both. But I can agree with your statements. The music videos from INK are pretty cringe, but I do have a lot of fun watching them.
This is why I love music, so many different styles and opinions. I don't get why people have to attack someone else's opinions.
I don't see what's cringe about ffdp tho. How can you turn powerful get ur blood pumping songs into cringe
Mr. Nickelback has more bad lyrics than Mr. Trapt.
Most people mad in the comments are defending their favorite bands and not being real with themselves. Limp Bizkit is one of my favorites and I enjoy a lot of MIW material but I can recognize how it can be cringy to people that arent the biggest fans of them. People need to remember that cringe doesnt mean bad, or at least from the mid cringe to mild cringe tier.
The rare commenter spitting facts here 🤘🏻
fr!
One of slipknots most hated albums was actually the best it was experimental and the last song was just creepy and weird
I'll fully admit with no shame to still loving all the scene-core and crunk-core silliness of the Myspace era, but something about Motionless in White just feels so fake. Every album has 4 or 5 songs that sound like a complete rip off of other bands, and many of them have stolen lyrics. It's like there is no identity to that band, just an amalgamation of other band's ideas done in a bargain bin fashion, so I think they deserve their spot for that reason.
Fair
Slipknot is my favorite band but they're definitely VERY cringe, but fun.
Based
This popped up in my Dir en grey search and I had to do a double take. They’re nowhere near cringe haha. Japanese music royalty
Yea if they were not so weird i would not be i to them ( they are cool)
The main positive I have about ffdp is when they do make a good song that song is really good. They’re like both extremes to me
You mean when they cover someone else's good song, right? 😂
@@neilpatrickhairless Eh sort of. Most of their songs are dogshit but I think fucking inside out was an amazing song and so was question everything
I know this video is meant to be pure rage bait but I can’t help but laugh at the irony of a “cringe” video coming from a guy wearing a skull mask and knock-off aviators.
0:16 You have no power here. Also it's not really rage bait. It's meant to just be light hearted and humorous, but stans can't handle even the slightest bit of criticism.
@@MetalTrenches This does not mean anything except Damage Control. You really must be at the top of your list, dude. Cringy as hell.
Personally, its diabolical not to include Babymetal on a cringe list.
Nah. FFDP is actually not that cringe. Wrong side of heaven, afterlife, gone away, I refuse, a little bit off, bad company, remember everything, wash it all away, and many others are beautiful. The fact that disturbed isn’t on here says a lot.
Gonna be pissed if Kid Rock isn’t in PURE cringe.
i don’t even like horror movies but i love ink. i can see why you think they are cringe but i personally don’t think it’s bad
Cringe doesn’t have to mean bad. As I said here, cringe can even be fun.
@@MetalTrenches u ranked it in VERY CRINGE so idk if u actually know wht cringe means
Or we just have different perspective on what is cringe... because it absolutely is subjective.
@@MetalTrenches ur right but u make it sound like its objective
Am one with the cringe. Mostly listen to death metal and black metal, sometimes deathcore, but 8 years down the road I still love MIW. Very serendipitous that I should come across this video. I've been in the process of moving and didn't have much clean laundry this morning, so just threw on an old MIW shirt from 9th grade and a few of my fellow metalhead coworkers who are used to seeing me in Archspire, Death, TBDM, Behemoth, Cattle Decap shirts etc. were like, "dude what the fuck?" So I came clean, and I'm doing it again. I love Motionless In White.

@@MetalTrenches Disclaimer: I don't know if this comment posted or not since my phone haa been bugging out and can't see my last reply but I'll try to redescribe what I said before which will be difficult since I'm very drunk: "Lmao, I even have an 'Eternally Yours' tattoo done by their old drummer Angelo at the steel city tattoo expo at Station Square in Pittsburgh. Ever since then, you can see dozens of copycat tattoos just by searching 'eternally yours' tattoos, but mine was the first and it was done by Angelo Perente of Black Casket Tattoo. Ever since then every MIW fanboy/girl has wanted one and that's evident by the numerous copies of my tattoo, which was originally designed by my girlfriend. Thankfully Angelo is a very talented and ethical artist who won't do the same design twice unless heavily altered. The takeaway is that mine is the first of its kind, and that whether I enjoy their current music or not, MIW will forever have a special place in my heart and on my flesh.
Is slipknot cringe? As a big fan of them, absolutely.
Cringier than bizkit? Aww hell naw
i think a lot of yall missed the point of the video. cringe is not bad! i love INK and Motionless in White but fantasy metal lyrics and concept albums are nerdy by default. dont kill the cringe, kill the part of you that cringes.
Based
If our local mall still existed, I'm sure Ice Nine Kills would be hanging out front of the Hot Topic trying to "scare" the good at sports kids
For SURE
Nah. They know they are being ridiculous. It is meant to be fun.
definitely agree with slipknot being cringe lol, I don't listen to them a ton but i love going to their concerts, however, their whole thing is basically just being the heaviest band that non metalheads listen to. All of the things they talk about being "sick" and "fucked up" is no different than literally any other metal band ever, but they make it such a big deal to the point where its annoying. Like dude, we know your life is a shitshow and how you have to deal with depression, drugs, anxiety, and what not, but literally every other metal band has dealt with the same exact thing, they just don't make it their whole personality. Corey taylor is a good vocalist and performer but it definitely makes me cringe when they pause the show every 2 songs so he can rant about how crazy they are and how crazy you have to be to like them
That’s their whole vibe. Music isn’t made for artists. When I feel sick or fucked up I listen to them, which is quite often. Maybe some people can’t relate, but it doesn’t make them bad. And they do it better than anyone else. And it’s an accomplishment that they have non-metalheads listening to super heavy shit like Iowa sometimes
I think they’ve gotten worse and more cringey since they dropped the chaotic vibe from the second and especially first albums they made if anything
Sorry all fun but personally don’t agree with this list
More important than arguing if some band is cringe or not is being respectful about the other's opinions, and seems like the chat here don't know what is is. I actually disagree a little bit with some choices here, I love Ice Nine Kills, some Slipknot and Motionless In White stuff but the point here is relax and think like "that guy thinks this band is cringe hahaha cringe". Great video man, it was funny to watch.
As someone who didn't grow up listening to metal, and in fact, listened solely to Johnny Cash or similar artists, and also Christian music growing up, which seems like the exact opposite of metal, as I've gotten older, I've also tiptoe'd my way towards metal slowly (and RAN away from anything "religious" except Skillet). I'm currently at a level where I listen to a lot of the "mainstream" metal like Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Motorhead and Disturbed (though mostly just select songs, like "The Unforgiven," "Carry On" and "Nightmare," "Ace of Spades," and "Down With The Sickness" and "The Sound of Silence") and watching videos like this kind of helps me figure out what I'd probably like more and what I probably wouldn't like. For example, an old friend of mine loves Ice Nine Kills, and I could see why, since they love horror movies like Saw and Chucky and IT, and I love those kinds of movies too. In fact, I have every Saw movie (minus Spiral), and my next franchise I'll be working on collecting is Child's Play/Chucky. But I don't see the appeal in listening to a song written from the perspective of the killer, and seems to take itself seriously. I mean, it just seems kinda lazy to me. I feel like anyone could write a song like that. I don't even know how to write music and I could probably write a whole song from the perspective of Jason or Freddy or something. It may not be good, but I could do it. Now, if it was something more like Social Mediasochist by Low Carb Comedy (aka Zoran "I edit for The Kill Count" Gvojic) where it's a parody of serial killers and the song is sung from the perspective of one, and not meant to be taken seriously, then I could see it being entertaining. But taken seriously like that? I don't get it. So I appreciate you for making videos like this, both for people who are already metalheads, and for those who are becoming one more and more over time. Music like this has started speaking to me a lot as I've gotten older and as I've gone through a lot. I'm almost 23 now and I can appreciate why people make this kind of music. Well, at least the GOOD bands anyway. Not that "cringe" means "bad," but from this video, it seems like PURE Cringe definitely does mean bad, and "VERY Cringe" seems to be riding the line a bit.
Nice pfp
Enjoy the ride man. Metal can be magical at times.
Johnny Cash was pretty metal, very honestly
Honestly, this was a fun read. If you're still active, I'd love to recommend the band Lacuna Coil? While their newer stuff ("Never Dawn", the albums "Dark Adrenaline" and "Black Anima") is more metal, you might also like their earlier, lighter, almost blues feeling stuff? (albums "Lacuna Coil", "In a Reverie")
How the hell did Slipknot made the list? Their lyrics are deep and meaningful.
I mean I felt the same when I was like 16. No shame in enjoying them (which I do) but there’s also no reason to get defensive when they get criticized
People find meaning in different things. I don't like Slipknot's music very much, but that does not mean other people don't or that my views are more important or whatever, I just always found the band's style and image to be this edgy approach towards everything, I just never felt that it was anything special.
I would kind of compare the shock value of the band to that of Marilyn Manson, but a slightly toned down version. Slipknot definitely have talent in writing music, and a lot of people view them very highly. But everyone is different with their personal tastes.
I think a lot of people view Slipknot as trying to be shocking or whatever, a lot of which could be attributed to the appearance of the band members (I don't agree with those people.) However, they have a lot of fans who are defensive as shit about them, like many musicians and bands do. Summary is:
Slipknot aren't necessarily cringe because of a particular thing, it's more to do with the ways they portray the world, and the gimmicks of the band itself. Between personal opinion, shock value and general hate, they have portrayed themselves as very edgy…
[Side note: I have to give my respects to Corey Taylor for not just letting the shit Machine Gun Kelly said go completely ignored. Fuck MGK, now that is someone who is truly cringe.]
As a big Slipknot fan myself, I disagree with the lyrics being deep. Meaningful? Sure, but Deep? Nah man
@@shuckraxv5258 So how do you define deep lyrics. If you think Slipknot dont belong. What bands do you think qualifies? Limp Bizkit? 😂
@@MetalTrenches I like the irony of this response XD made me cringe
Love that you used that Contrapoints clip, caught me super off guard
😂
Honestly I was gonna get mad when you mentioned Slipknot because I am a huge Slipknot fan but I realized you were right they have some corny songs like in the song Yen when it says “as the knife goes in cut across my skin as my death begins I wanna know that I was dying for you” it’s a little corny and same with devil in I, so I agree with you
I will not tolerate Kid Rock slander
You just did
Yeah with ice nine they’re very cringe but that’s why I like them. They’re self aware and they don’t take themselves that seriously. The songs are fun and you can just laugh with them
ice nine kills and motionless in white i'm a mega fan of so i don't have them as cringe at all the same goes for slaughter to prevail
I mean you can be a fan and still acknowledge the cringe...
of course
@@MetalTrenches only it's not cringe. cringe = awkward or embarrassing. INK is neither. their songwriting is incredibly creative, as are their music videos. it's an homage to horror, don't see what's embarrassing about that. you can not like them, that's your prerogative, but if you attempt to claim they're cringe you're wrong.
@@thunderbuns6811 Wrong is too strong a word. It’s all relative.
Okay i wouldn't think Sleep Token is cringe they just have an odd sound, Sleep Token is my FAVORITE band but I'll admit they're odd, also yeah some of the fanbase is a bit aggressive if you talk poorly of Sleep Token, I'm more focused of the musical aspect of Sleep Token rather than the cult aspect. I personally think their musicianship is brilliant with their mix of genres and very innovative sound, but it does get a bit odd sometimes. I highly recommend their music but not the fanbase
Oh thank you so much for pointing out the cringy lines in MOW’s “Slaughterhouse”. That song is fantastic when I can just forget the pure cringe-trip that are the lines you mentioned.
Must admit that's like the one song on that album I just cannot stand. Something about it forces me to skip every time it comes on.
@@Indigo_Indignation most of the album was just meh for me... I really don't need more of this style of metalcore tbh
I love some of the bands on here, but sometimes the cringe gets to me and I can’t listen to it
This is something I'd expect 14 year old me to make a video on. Not surprised that the video is done by someone looking like a reddit moderator. That said, can anybody even disagree with TRAPT being at the top? I only knew of 2 songs from them, even when a kid. And when older it's one of those bands you forgot you ever followed and you just see the vocalist arguing with everybody over politics 24/7.
I mean... 0:16. I'm the most cringe thing known to man: a DAD.
@@MetalTrenches It's hard to show it over text, but I was just giving you shit. Fuck dude, when I don't shave my beard I look like I should own a fedora lol. And I'll be joining you as a cringe dad soon!
I thought the dude on the right of the thumbnail looked really cringe, but hey turns out he's the host of the video. Good concept, but this video definitely will piss off lots of fans.
Oh it did 😂 But if they want to cry they can go right ahead
I can't agree with slipknot long live the knot and Corey is fucking amazing
Cringe
I fucking love you man, rip Paul and Joey
Glad i was free of knowing language of the lyrics when i was 15
Well, at least Corey didn't lie when he said "I am hated".
No one will EVER beat devil daddy's band *cringes into eternal rest*
At least we can all agree on this one thing!
As a die hard slipknot fan I think they should be knocked down just one tier. They are cringe, but it's no denying they are fun. The masks suits it's just pure fun. Sometimes cheesy lyrics and they can be very on the nose but I love em. I respect ur opinion tho. I'm young, my opinion may change but as of right now they are cringe, but fun!
Huh? None of these bands (that I've watched so far) are cringy at all! Ice nine Kills is such a groovy band- it's actually my favorite band ever. Each band has it's own element which makes it special and unique in their own ways. Please think before you upload
I'm in absolute shock (watch both lists). Nobody mentioned Falling In Reverse? Let me tell you that their frontman Ronnie Radke has been arrested on multiple occasions; one of those times being an accessory for murder and spent some prison-time for it. Now, go listen to "Bad Girls Club," and let me warn you, it's very sugary and still not their cringiest song from their very cringy discography with the exception of Just Like You; an actually okay album.
Edit: Nevermind; found it.
I am a 60 year old guitar player who plays drone-doom. I am pretty sure that puts me way up the Cringe Scale. Oh, I've heard FFDP referred to as "Military Wives Metal."
