Or it's people enjoying what they love because it makes them happy. Metal is music which is a form of art. It's not a business. Once you make it a business aspect you take away the aspect of what made Metal Metal. Being different from society and not following its norms. Disliking and hating the people in it is how society overall saw Rock and what it was doing to society in the beginning of its formation. Living an alternate life style against what one finds acceptable. To be against what these people find enjoyable is to ultimately be against what Metal used to stand for.
@@TheLemonKiller You're painting these people as if they're rebels with a cause, born to oppose the status quo. For some on the app, that may be the case, but for most, they're simply lemmings who like the aesthetic. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not about to gatekeep something as universal as music, but I'm almost completely certain that the vast majority of Metal TikTok has not put as much thought into it as you did here.
@@thedanverse Understandable. However that's not necessarily what I'm saying. It's really just how Came acrossed. Sure, some had that in mind back in the early days with how they wanted to portray themselves and the music they made. But bands like The Beatles didn't have that in mind at all. Yet, they were regarded as devils and heathens and such. Not saying that The Beatles are Metal. But my point remains. The overall point is that people dislike something and have a problem with it. It makes them feel a certain way about it. But in most cases that means they're doing something right. The head dude over at Revolver Magazine made a statement about bands these days and that general dislike for what they're doing. Similar to people disliking what Tik-Tokers and such are doing. But ended with saying that's basically just how Metal was to begin with. Sure some might not exactly have that in mind to be doing it as a rebelling thing. By happenstance they fall into the mix with those that are as some say; trying to hard.
I have been a metal head since my teens. These kids are so damn cringy and remind me of the other kids we used to call posers that just wanted attention and didn't really appreciate the music.
Time is a cruel mistress and she comes for us all eventually. I just kinda thought my dumb ass would be dead before it happened but here I am staring down the barrel of 30 years old.
Half of metal TikTok are people who still REE at MGK months after everything & feel like a badass cuz they threw plastic bottles at him from 100ft away at Aftershock (and missed).
I love metal, but whenever I see shit like this I am kinda glad I can not be lumped into the same group as these people just from looking outside. most of the tropes are pretty cringe. agree with Nick, the speed drawing of the art is impressive, everything else is trash pretty much.
Nik doesn't seem to understand that TikTok is 100% entirely about attractiveness, not content. If someone is good looking, particularly a cute young girl, they'll get many views no matter what they do. Literally just sitting there listening to music, or eating food, doing anything, being attractive means people will watch you do anything.
There’s literally TikToks of girls staring at the camera, doing nothing but sitting and staring, and it’ll get millions of views while actual entertaining fun content gets like a thousand views.
I don't know but being myself into metal, I often watch metal music videos - gotta admit, these aren't either (99%) in any way original or to be considered as art - they fit the purpose, that's it and I wish, there'd be other things to see, than band members rocking out, looking the "I mean it" way in worn out industrial environments.
Anyone here knows any neurosurgeons? I think half of my brain cells just died a horrific death. Need immediate transplantation. Where would I get the new brains? I just watched metal tiktok, I think I can manage that too.
Man i love my metal people but somehow they manage to reach levels of cringe only reached by fortnite kids before. No other music genre has SO MUCH (potential) cringe in the community.
bruh, I'm listening to metal since jhs, now I am in hs. And even I know that they are not metals. Metal is not about killing infants and selling your soul to Satan. And you don't need to be always in black clothes, with boots on. 85% of metalheads are nice bois and gurls, younger or older. Being 'hardcore' is not always being metal.
There is something even more scary, the main riff of Unholy Confessions by Avenged Sevenfold is just Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones dropped down a whole step with distortion.
I didn't realize it was possible for Metal to be cringe... Yet somehow... The cancer cells on tik-tok managed to pull it off.. Thx tik-tok... Thx for ruining metal...
I may be stupid, thought this was going to be on scary but very cool metal reactions with chemicals tik tok. Edit; I was confused because I've made the colossal error of being a chemistry student who listens to metal. Going purely by video titles is a gamble and I am losing immensely
Sometime I wonder what it'd be like to know another female metal head. Then sometimes I realize why I don't know any 🤣 these are cringier that that fake witch group that I knew in high school who had pretend pet dragons and "cast spells" on eachother when they would fight. Yikes 😬 good art though!
Alex Terrible is cool. He sings a cover to an old love song. It was popular among girls before football fans started to sing this song at football matches. A lot of Alex's fans asked him to cover this song and finally he did it. Have u watched it?
*I am scarred for life*
Smash like so TikTok will never take over
Lol
Posers are the worst.. why do you do this to yourself Nik??
it's too late, tiktokturnal is coming
It's literwlly the scourge of humankind
I appreciate the hell out of you for sharing my art, dude!

People have to leech off something for clout instead of being themselves.
It feels like everyone on metal tiktok is just the cringiest version of yourself from high school.
I'm already the cringiest version of myself
@@NikNocturnal not me man, I hung up the Tripp pants and never looked back.
...and it's on the internet forever. God I'm glad I didn't have Social Media in high school.
Everyone on tik tok *
Ive seen way more cringe on regular tiktok than this shit🤣
I’m a metal fan but as a self respecting human I say this is beyond me.
Professionals have standards.
God the fear in your face when going to TikTok is priceless lmao
Very scary
Deserved as well. Tik Tok is ruining our society.
Don’t say God’s name in vain pls
Honestly one of my favorite series, just for the extreme level of cringe my brain suffers through to watch it
yes, ty
Tictoc follows every cliche about metal just like Hollywood does, which means they know absolutely nothing about it
Or it's people enjoying what they love because it makes them happy.

Sounds about right
So which genre do you think MGK is gonna switch to next?
@@fueledbypaintwater Crabcore.

I feel bad for you for reacting to most of this, but then again i willingly watch this and gained the exact same pain
true
i will never understand the appeal of tiktok
Content
Same...
TikTok will probably dominate the 2020s the same way Facebook did in the 2010s and Myspace did in the 2000s. It's all the same thing
@@James.99 More like Vine
it's easy to make a tiktok since most of them are shitty and the endless flow of content and feel of control makes you addicted
Holmes on homes goth edition sounds like a funny show to see
Would watch
That‘s our apartment in the video and I can definitely agree. It‘s a lot of fun!
I'm going to need years of therapy
Likewise
Same
Ah yes, Oregano, the most beloved Care Bear
The best flavored one
No idea how people can post most of these tik-toks without hating themselves. I'd delete it as soon as i posted it.
It‘s either delusion or narcicism or both at the same time
It's just that they have too much spare time...
I like how when metal Tiktok goes ”sexy” their first instinct is to go straight to type O negative😂😂😂 rip Peter steele
If you felt the cringe, imagine in 20 years when these people's kids find their TikToks.
@@MagnusAzrael TH-cam is already 14 years old so we don't know that for sure

You are right!
No matter what genre it is, one specific media should not be the core of your personality
It means there's nothing else there

Nik not getting the Candlemass reference hurt me. Such a classic bad metal video
That "screeeeeeech" thing was the cringest and the cutest thing at once
Yes.
No.
You can remove “metal” from the title and it will still be accurate

Where would I get the new brains? I just watched metal tiktok, I think I can manage that too.
"Peak rawr xD" is the best description, period.
The cleaning your teeth one had me laughing
I didn’t get it
im glad i found people that have the same opinions here about how cringey metal tik tok can be
The one at 1:05 is definitely inspired by Beksinski, that’s awesome!!
Man i love my metal people but somehow they manage to reach levels of cringe only reached by fortnite kids before. No other music genre has SO MUCH (potential) cringe in the community.
That Chris Motionless grass one was top quality.
5:04 that shit looks like Corey's old mask 💀
Something its good and something just ridiculous. I rather spend my time on YT then Tik Tok. Watching your video Nik better. Worth my time.
thank you for torturing us on stream :)
Thank you for watching it
Alex the Terrible and Kirill Sarychev in the same clip is GOAT

I would 100% watch Holmes on Homes Goth Edition.
Would be as the kids say "lit"
I dig this segment. Thanks for the content
This would've totally thrown me off metal. 🤣🤣
It's cringe, but they are at least trying 😁
That's Alex Terrible at 6:17 he is a beast.
True.
Man they really aren’t getting bullied enough anymore. We’ve all done cringey crap as teens but this is some next level stuff
I stg this only occurs on Tik Tok. Tik Tok is the epitome of cringe
I'm now scared just thinking that these people are the new influencers for the new generation of metalheads
Damn, why does everyone think listening to deathcore makes you a metalhead?
Okay, easy up on the gatekeeping bucko.
because your head needs to be made of metal in order to take the flames
What happend to my Metal? Popularity ruins everything.
I fear the day I join TikTok just for the sake of more exposure.
D:
This exists?
Yeah. And part of why I can't do the metal scene anymore. Even pretending to be that evil is reeeediculous.
The art is very influenced by Zdzisław Beksiński, my favorite artist.
