Finn, I’m curious to hear you talk about the band Gunship! You and I are the same age and have a very similar music “upbringing” if you will. Knowing that you’re into such a wide variety of music and that Gunship is so talented and pretty versatile (even considering they are extremely 80’s influenced synth with vocals band), they have such an amazing sound, very professional and clean sound. If you haven’t heard much of them, give their whole discography a listen, it’s only 2 LPs and a couple singles.
I think it’s safe to assume Rock/Metal are in the best state they’ve been in for a long time and definitely have the potential to jump back into the mainstream at any moment with both new and older bands. I’m here for it!!!
Agreed.
I love that this channel celebrates mainstream success. It's good positivity. I miss alt music being mainstream. It's great to see it relevant again through Tik Tok.
I’ll take a year of normalcy. 2020/2021 were too brutal for too many people. Glad 2022 was a chill year
Too br00tal 💅
2022 was a chill? Idk, there's a significant war going on.
Search "died unexpectedly"
This was far from a chill year. Things just aren't being reported.
This year has been swept under the rug.
This year only seems chill in comparison. The past two years have numbed as all and I don’t think that’s good lol
Past 2 years were terrible. Aint that hard to do better
It was funny watching metal sites post articles like “Zakk Wylde still learning Pantera riffs from TH-cam - 1st Show A month away”. They really stoked the online drama for these shows.
Thanks for saying everybody starts out as a poser. It validates my youth. I'm still haunted by this dude in highschool who said I was a emo poser. He didn't know me or said it to my face, I only heard from somebody telling me. I was just a 7th grader who was finding a whole gold mine of music I liked! Is that a crime??
Just sad lonely people trying to make others feel like them. Just like metal elitists thinking being an absolute cunt is somehow going to change people's minds.
No it’s not-and kids suck sometimes.
Speaking as a former gatekeeper, I’m sorry to anyone I ever harmed!
Yeah, some pompous kid my junior of high school was butt hurt when I was embracing Zao, despite like Deftones and some other nu metal bands. This was maybe 98-99. Shouldn’t you be happy others are finding smaller bands?
He was testing you. If you became emotional and the remark caused you to stop listening to the music, then you were a poser. If it didn't sway you from listening to the music, then you were legit.
For me the big moments were the Ed Sheeran/BMTH collab, WWWY fest, Voices in my Head, Yungblud and Willow doing a song together and Running Up That Hill (as someone who has loved Placebo's cover for a long time). But more than anything this year was about live music to me and seeing a ton of bucket list bands.
Shout out to all the kids on Ticktock discovering rock and metal bands, that’s so dope to me. Love to see it. The fact that Pierce the Veil is getting popular again is incredible man. 🤟🏾
It is awesome, but it makes me feel so old. (I finished high school in the late 2000s)
@@undeadknight01 graduated in 2007 😂
So yea I hear ya man
Yknow, after watching enough of Finn's videos, I finally realized I'm content being a single 24 y/o man who radiates divorced dad energy. I'm happy.
Lmao that's kinda sad dude, but I'm glad you're happy
@@undeadknight01 how is that sad?
Your 100% on the teen girls thing!!! 7th&8th grade girls have ALWAYS fueled fandoms. Which is crazy to think about bc they are not the one’s spending money!
Definitely be happy that your favorite band gets successful as that means they can keep putting out new music. Nothing worse than finding a band, whether old or new, and they have a solid album but never caught traction so they broke up and moved on.
You coverage of the 2022 trends and music has been brilliant Finn. Also, I agree that we are good where we at in time because I don't want to get older either. 😅
Lorna Shore had me actually enjoying a Deathcore band, so they deserve it.
Which is quite a feat
I still can't stand deathcore vocals, but wills just hits different
Deathcore recently has been incredible between Lorna Shore, Slaughter to Prevail, Brand of Sacrifice, Shadow of Intent, Chelsea Grin and Whitechapel. I don’t think it’s a bad genre, it was just in a rut for a few years.
@@ryanbollinger1759 I did enjoy the newer Brand of Sacrifice and Chelsea Grin stuff - I'll admit that! I just don't think I'd have given it a chance if I hadn't heard what Lorna Shore put out with Pain Remains.
@@coreysmith9847 last time deathcore was this big was when Mitch lucker was Alive
What I'm gathering from some of the new trends cropping up is that there is a resurgence of love for band-based music. It seems like its coming from people liking this stuff on their own and not from it being fed in a top down sort of way like a lot of mainstream stuff is.
It was the greatest year for live music…all the tours suspended for two years started together with the all new ones…never seen so many live shows like this year…
So many dope video games brought up. I loved going through the song setlists on any new game that had one. Found so much awesome music that way!
Ugh I'm 32yo and I noticed the trend. Basically it's a 15-20 year hold on media then they bring it back out for nostalgia. The reason is that most people set their tastes as teenagers. So if you went through that emo/punk/hardcore/nu metal phase, now you are getting the nostalgia festivals because you're in your 30s and have purchasing power (money.) Same thing has happened with Star Wars..... Twice! Originals 77-83 > Prequels 99-05 > Sequels 15-19. Crazy how life's timeloops happen... Same with clothing and other fads/trends
You hit the nail on the head. Korn sold out all of their shows this year because they were huge when we were kids/teenagers and can afford to go now. I didn't go, but my best friend and his wife went.
To me it feels as if each time we bring it back, we lose some of the magic along the way. Like a cassette tape deteriorates each time you copy it onto another.
2022, such a whelming year
Hey Finn, Phil did amazing! Saw them two days ago here in Colombia, Pantera were incredible!!
There’s been a huge cultural shift in general where fans celebrate creators getting financial success from Taco Bell commercials to TH-camrs getting sponsors rather then throwing around the name sell-out. It’s pretty refreshing to see the death of suffering for your art being the ultimate height of integrity.
I'd say the Pantera tribute has been a success.. obviously not everyone is happy with Zakk playing Dime leads with some of his playing style thrown in but I'm not sure what people expected.. Phil has been in good health and sober for some time now and he's as good as he can be at his age.
For someone who got in to Pantera after they broke up. I am stoked for the tour.
My girlfriend, her dad and i just got tickets to the show in NJ where im at to see Pantera in August. I know its not going to be the same as being in the 90s seeing them in their original lineup with Vinnie Paul and Dime, but im excited to enjoy the music and see what they can do. I think Zakk Wylde is awesome, but totally not the same style, awesome nonetheless! And Phil is always a treat and thankfully in good spirits
Almost everyone of my favorite metalcore bands put out a new album this year and there was a normal year of tours. Pretty nice to get back to normal
Weird year indeed..hell yeah brother! 2022 whewww! 🤘🤘🐐
as always, very good, sir...and I must say, you handle the "cringe stuff" very smoothly...
The Plot in You also deserve a TikTok shoutout. Their song Feel Nothing went viral earlier this year and now it has almost 140 million plays on Spotify which is more than most of the other viral metal TikTok songs.
Oh damn! Wasn’t aware of that
seeing the hype for hardcore and metal grow again is fantastic. i remember the absolute dry spell for a couple years and i really wasn’t convinced it’d ever get any relevance again
Truths about 2022 from a guy who turned 20 this year:
1) WWWY actually was great (I didnt go, but I have friends who went and saw literally everyone they wanted to despite the day one cancellation)
2) this year for music was building on the new surge of creativity that the pandemic and whatever the fuck 2021 was brought on
3) MCR5 did not get confirmed, but Fall Out Boy 8 did
4) there were a ton of good albums this year, like we should be extremely grateful about the hits to misses ratio in album quality this year
5) TikTok fame was almost accepted as okay
6) kanye's going to ruin his career, if we pretend that he hasnt already
7) yeah, I wish bring me the horizon had put out the second post human ep this year, but whatever
8) Emo Era Nostaligia is at peak levels
9) this year was... pretty good, best year since 2019 life-wise.
10) there WAS bad music, but luckily it was mostly in pop and rap genres, not rock.
11) turns out Panic! WASNT 100% cancelled, and Brendon was able to put out a low end of the B-tier album that has some fans, and is at least able to fill the floors of all the stadiums he's playing at, and seeing as he totally decided to fuck off of the hyper mainstream sound, and has lost about 25% of the pre-solo era fanbase, I'm surprised he's even managing to pull off this stadium tour at all.
12) GAYLE and MGK are going to win grammys, just accept it and move on children
Disagree on 10.
That new Kid Rock album was fucking HORRENDOUS.
The new Disturbed was terrible.
The new 5FDP album was trash like always.
The new Parkway Drive was just sad.
Bro it ain’t that deep
I turned 20 this year too and this year felt eclectic. So many sounds are popping off and it hasn't been this diverse in a while.
This year was great for the growing popularity of hardcore crossing over with hip hop. It's always been a thing but this year felt like hardcore was really going strong.
Hip hop has also been embracing regional sounds. NY drill, Memphis, Houston, Chicago really stopped being dominated completely by atlanta. Rap wasn't just trap this year imo.
Indie pops going strong. So many anthems this year and as much as people like to tie that scene with tik tok, I think the music's great and I'm here for it.
There's so many other genres that are getting major love right now and the diversity is great.
@Underoath-Define The Great Line Fan Account [5-7] No, I didnt mean that rap/hiphop or pop was bad this year in general, just that I can think of quite a few bad albums from pop and rap this year. You are right, there was also great rap this year, particularly Kendrick, and I agree about Denzel, and yes JID put out something special, I also even liked Cudi's album in september.
@@ryanbollinger1759 Not wrong, but I managed to dodge the bullet on kid rock and parkway drive, I've never been a huge disturbed fan, and 5FDP, yes, sucked. But I can name a whole lot of good from this year, and a lot of at least not bad on top of that.
If metal is in a show i love it. I want more metal in the world. Spread it!
Soooo much killer deathcore this year. That’s what had me hyped
I think your point about "metalheads want metal to get popular again, then when it does people whine about it..." is true, but only in the sense that once metal finds its way into mainstream (commercials, shows, movies) those of us who wanted some fresh air in the space are satisfied... and those who prefer it to stay underground point it out and start complaining. I for one welcome the exposure. More exposure to this form of music means more future music that I get to enjoy. I fucking love music, and I want other people to find music that makes them as happy as it makes me.
Also, love your videos... I hope more people find this channel, and your live streams. Keep it up!
Quick edit: Does Kidd Rock saying Facebook isnt cool anymore mean that it is now cool again? I dont know what to do. lol
I saw "Pantera" yesterday it was AWESOME!! Glad they came to Mexico.
My discovery of Bloodywood this year was my favorite moment. They need more attention.
Bloodywood is so good! I think they might be too weird for people. But the weirdness makes them so great and unique.
As an Indian, Bloodywood's a big reason why I'm still into Indian music. They rule!
Bloodywood’s debut album is awesome and they even have a surprising potential too. Here’s hoping for a booming Nu Folk Metal scene at India.
I really wanted to see them in October but none of my friends could go.
In case anyone hasn't watched the first Pantera tribute show, it ended up being really good. Zakk and Charlie shut up everyone, Rex was killing it, and Phil still has it, makes me hopeful they pull through Florida for Welcome to Rockville
Some 35 year olds dads there to watch Blink are going to die in that Turnstile pit
I really want a state of the scene address for next year and I think some of your core fanbase would be blessed with that returning.
Let’s hope MySpace deathcore doesn’t become commercialized. 😂
Does anyone else remember when Fuse was all about rock? I became obsessed with avenged sevenfold after watching an episode of Loaded about them. Coming home after school in middle school and turning on Fuse while doing my homework was always a great way to get through the misery of hw lol.
And the WWWY festival was fuckin phenomenal. FINALLY getting to crowd surf at knocked loose's set is a memory I'll cherish for life 😍
Best year of music for my tastes, possibly ever.
Think I Prevail deserves a mention here, they hit basically their 3rd straight home run with their newest album and their shows have been doing really well.
I do think MIW did well with their new album also, but it doesn't quite live up to their previous one imo.
Awesome video Finn! Lorna Shore was great. I enjoyed your rant on how Each generation's music ultimately becomes another Capitalist thing. Congrats again on Fatherhood. Happy holidays. One Love y'all ❤️🎵💜☯️🖤💯💯💯♠️
My mom went to school with MXPX and I thought it was the coolest thing when I heard their song on one of the MX vs. ATV games when I was a kid. And when I saw Mike in ADTR's music video and the logo tattooed behind Jeremy's ear 😅
Much weirder than the new MCR song was Gerard Way doing the screaming in one of Matt Heafy's black metal project songs
2021 was so crazy because all these artists were in lockdown all 2020 and had time to sit around make music and be creative, i feel like 2021 was when the world finally resumed and these artists were probably enjoying touring and getting back to normal life instead of creating new music.
Lorna Shore really made 2022 for me with the Pain Remains trilogy and album.
I'm going to Bad Omens on Monday and Lorna Shore the week after. NOTHING IS OVER!
W
"2022 Cringe Olympics"! I F-ing love you McKenty!
I only knew about the Placebo version of that song 'running up that hill'. Also 2022 for metalcore was pretty big. Chelsea Grin's new cd was a certified banger.
So jealous for everyone that was living in the US and went to a headliner Lorna Shore Show 😜 This is on my wishlist to see them in Germany live but not as a support 😛
Your great interviews with Adam got me a big crush on him 🤭❤️🔥
Best year ever!!!!!
Loved the Nicaraguan kids part LOL, great...
The best were the albums that came out this year from: *Disturbed* , *Meshuggah* , *Rammstein* , *Korn* , and *Slipknot* !!!!
Best thing in music this year were all the death-metal elitists being mad about Lorna Shore's success, but they don't get how algorithms work so they just keep typing "Lorna Shore" into social media platforms and then wonder why they're seeing so much Lorna Shore content.
Absolutely incredible.
Most people don't know how algorithms work apparently. The more you engage with something, including hating on it, the more the algorithm will show it. The phrase "there's no such thing as bad publicity" applies here I think.
@Underoath-Define The Great Line Fan Account [5-7] ok
@Underoath-Define The Great Line Fan Account [5-7] keep typing their name into the comments
@@thealgorithmluvsu3788 I've tried to explain this to them and they just laff reacc and keep making Lorna Shore memes lmfaooooo
@Underoath-Define The Great Line Fan Account [5-7] Disagree .
The Turnstile fries arent my favorite either. But that big box meal they come in A-plus imo. Btw now I'm stuck calling them "Turnstile fries." Thx, Finn lol
Divorced dad energy is real shit. IDK why you guys would make fun of it.
Give people space to work out their stuff. We all are a bit cringe when tough shit hits us.
Props to men who rise above and can forgive, I've seen what happens to people who can't.
Totally agree, it’s just a joke!
Those taco bell fries are worth the potential heart stoppage. Now if they brought back the volcano menu I'd go there more than once every couple months
Turnstile is also in the video game NHL23. They have a song in the game soundtrack.
Turnstile is bringing a positive light to Bodymore (Baltimore) which is awesome. I found a lot of bands I love through video game soundtracks. Lots of people find music through stuff like that
Tony Hawks pro skater and my dad are responsible for getting me into punk rock and making me a life long rocker. So thanks Tony! Thanks dad!
Would love to see your top 10 or whatever number albums of this year
Discovering Bad Omen at the Underoath tour was my favourite moment
Exactly the same. I can’t lie, I’m really young and went for spiritbox, but really got into underoath afterwards. Stray from the path too, but Bad Omens were a huge find.
2022 was the moment when you realize you've been sucker punched, then realizing that you've got to fight or flight.
u always got some good takes on the scene bruh and such a great job on keeping the history and culture of metal/punk and surrounding subcultures around for the generations to come. The teenage girls driving culture is so on point. I would say mainly college girls drive culture. Drake solely exists because he pandered directly to all the black college girls he had crushes on and look where he is at now. He got catapulted to mainstream and game over. Juice Wrld did it a bit later by doing the same for college white girls and was well on his way. Sadly ppl like MGK figured this out...eeeuuggghhhck. Also hilarious Kanye won the cringe...only to top himself again right after u did this by doing an interview w/ the Proud Boys....the culture right now is just...troll city, can't wait until thats done with.
22' started out great for me, but went to shit fast the last 3 months. Trying to stay strong....
Are you going to do a Christmas Pop Punk Song tier list this year?
Personally think Foundations of Decay is one of MCR's best songs. it is mixed the way it is because it's about "decay", gerard's voice, body, are decaying and therefore buried in the mix.
2022 was also a huge year for the UK's Windmill scene - black midi and Black Country, New Road dropped their best albums so far and went on a North American tour together, and Jockstrap and Yard Act released their debut LP's. Very exciting time for British music rn.
Windmill?
@@mike04574 It's called that because all these bands started by playing in a pub in Brixton called the Windmill. It's sort of a CBGB-type situation.
Love the blink world tour line up minus blink lol
While I haven't watched Stanger Things in a while and I grew up listening to Metallica, Running Up That Hill was a whole new experience for me, and I found it through all of the covers of it that popped up on TH-cam.
On the topic of Eurovision. Sam Ryder, the UK entry, was in Blessed By A Broken Heart!
The fact that you target 32 years old specifically and that I am exactly 32 is amazing because everything you said was accurate.
2023 LETS GOOOOO!!!
Gonna be a good year for hawdcaw
I would say that the biggest artists would probably be Scowl or Turnstile. Turnstile has been pretty big for awhile but with them touring with blink and big headliners this year.
Many things but very happy have Lorna Shore selling out their whole tour is just awesome besides that whole lineup being awesome, Turnstile selling out shows including around where I live which will probably get bigger opening for Blink, and the Eddie Munson (Stranger Things) part was put on the screens during Metallica's set when they played Master of Puppets
What Happened to the Ticketmaster video you posted it yesterday on the other channel yesterday? Lol I clicked on it 7 minutes after you posted it, watched it for like 5 seconds. Paused it, and when I went to start it again you had made it disappear hahahaha
You seemed to nail this year on the head. Only missed the BMTH and Ed Sheeran collab
Also the four eps that Weezer released in 2022. Though the second half was better than the first, they were all still fun listens. The rollout of them correlating with the seasons was a really fun idea that I enjoyed
def netflix and tik tok have become the platforms that if a song ,used at the right time ,as apart of a theme tune or on main scene that song would go nuts and even spark a new fan base for the artist ,i think its cool
Guitar hero 3 was my stranger things, that & my dad having his paranoid cd on repeat in the car
Bad omens dominated this year
And also dominated my spotify haha, all of my top 5 on spotify were from their newest album. Brilliant album 👏
Fuck yes they did.
by far one of the greatest things in music this year. they released the album of the year (imo), blew up in popularity, had their own huge headlining tour, etc. Nothing can stop these dudes
Terrible band. Complete trash
@@bengreenbank I respect you bro and your opinion is valid...but there's no way you look at that band a few years ago compared to this year and not see that they killed it this year. They're out there doing what me and you wish we could do so to call them trash is harsh but I respect it i guess ✌
This was the best and worst year for me
“This is, like, a huge moment for Taco Bell…to work with a giant brand like…Turnstile…”
-Finn Mckenty, 2022
wow you didnt even hit that off! is back and the new album free lsd is fucking amazing and they went in a bit of a different direction on this album
It’s nice to have a quiet year after a hell of two years. I have nothing against 2022. Kind of dreading 2023 to be honest with you, new music to worry about but that’s just how I roll 😅
My buddy works for Converse and he was telling me that Turnstile was doing some kind of collab with them
The Foundations of Decay grew on me after a while. I also listened to 82 hours of their music in 2022 so….😂
A moment of silence for the Turnstile Fries™
I agree about Stranger Things and how it's popularized these songs and brought young kids into the Metal genre. I have no problem when this happens. I think it's great.
I'm curious to know what do you think of artists like Banshee or Scene Queen who blew up through Tik Tok this year
I'm waiting for The Cramps to completely blow up because of Wednesday on Netflix. It's going to be all about Gretch Guitars and pompadours in 2023.
Wuuuut about undeaths new album? I really enjoyed it and seeing them live
gridiron dropped a banger album called no good at good byes !!!! i turned 40 lol! looking forward to 2023.
"and this other band, whose name i can't remember...or can't read" metal bands and their marketing I SWEAR 😂😂😂😂😂 a joy
The Stranger Things effect on Running Up That Hill is the same thing that happened when Jordan Peele's Us used I Got Five On It by Luniz
Both songs rule
Not a breakout, but Burning Strong's new album a few days ago got me amped up.
I thought it was great that a younger crowd were finding Kate Bush and Metallica through Stranger Things. I found all the gatekeeping "you're not a proper metal fan" etc stuff hilarious!
2022 was such a blur for me
Same. Nothing really happened this year, compared to 2020 and 2021.
I've thought that the singles from MCR and ADTR were promo pieces for their tours.
Netflix should do a modern headbangers ball style show
Slipknot came back with one of my favorite albums of theirs. Absolute phenomenal the diversity of that record.
The year ain’t over yet, brother!
