[@TenSecondSongs]

What I’m trying to figure out is why they picked a type o negative solo for that second clip

[@cameronj6161]

I would say the song choice is pretty fitting though. In this day and age with things like Tik Tok, I Don’t Want To Be Me Anymore. 😂 I’m huge fan of yours by the way! 🤘

[@demdrumsandguitar8208]

“I don’t wanna be me” one of my favs

[@jakemorgan2467]

It’s so unfortunate that this is what creators have to do to get views nowadays. But know that I will always watch and enjoy whatever content you put out, Mike. I’m proud to say that I have never downloaded TikTok, nor do I plan to

[@SplitMyLungs]

I don’t think most of these creators stay relevant For any longer than a week. I don’t have tik tok, but I guess it is The same as yt shorts or IG reels, and I know For a fact, No one goes out to follow these creators. + these guys don’t have real personalisty, u watch few shorts and go „eh cool” and move on. U don’t even know who they are, hence forth people welcomed back EDP on tiktok, they are clueless.

[@1krani]

Any trend on TikTok almost always deserves mockery.

[@kevinkliesing3732]

TikTok itself deserves mockery 😂

[@1krani]

​@@kevinkliesing3732 It deserves a lot more than that, the more you learn about how invasive the app is.

[@kevinkliesing3732]

​@@1krani Oh trust me. I know all about how bad it is outside of the cringe content

[@Ryo7_7]

That's it's only purpose for me lol. I don't even use much social media at all but, tik tok is like a voluntary mind control platform.

[@somelamenamehowaboutmr.juk6231]

I have to disagree, I want any trend that makes sure people like this don’t reproduce (ex. The Vasectomy Challenge) to be as widespread as possible.

[@Yenneffer]

Honestly, I'm just so glad I am not a teenager in this day and age. Back in my days, I could be as cringe as I wanted in (relative) peace lol. I shudder to think what it would be like to have all that crap immortalized on the internet forever.

[@zendakk]

Doing and saying silly and dumb shit is absolutely fine at a certain age, for any generation, but we would never have *intentionally* recorded and broadcast it worldwide for all eternity. That's the baffling part.

[@chrissyswifey]

lucky

[@travisspaulding2222]

It seems like the younger generation is craving the vilification we got as young metalheads in the 80s and 90s. Unfortunately for them, there is no comparison. Kardashians are wearing metal shirts. When I was young, people were getting life sentences for crimes they didn't commit because they listened to heavy metal. It's not the same.

[@starkillermarex]

The majority of TikTok is one of two things. It's either the dumbest most unfunny thing you've ever seen, or a chick in a lowcut top playing an easy rift.

[@jackavery3740]

“I don’t have TikTok-“ Most based fuckin intro ever.

[@throckmorton4673]

Unfortunate that its come to this, but I will always enjoy and watch your content. Praying for you to be saved from the cringe.

[@dneuens]

Mike's intro energy is peak "fuck you all in the neck for making me watch TikTok's".

[@matiosmi137]

6:50 You could even say that new blood joins this earth and quickly he's subdued ...

[@Roadiedave]

My buddy had never been to a concert before, let alone a metal mosh pit gig. He's a country boy. Had extra tix to Volbeat and Anthrax. Oh, yes...he was introduced suddenly and without warning (and totally intentionally lol) to the pit. But same night there was a bunch of kids there too, and we guarded off a section where all the 8 and 10 and 5 year olds got to bouncy house off each other for a song or three. It was goddamn adorable. Buddy told me he hates the music, but he'd come along to another show anytime. He didn't believe me when I said Volbeat was tame, so i introduced him to Static-X.

[@rayray5091]

TikTok is such a slap in the face for actual content creators that put effort into their videos

[@deierbel2215]

As a Gen Z teen, I apologize on behalf of these 'people' deeply. 🥲

[@raultejada326]

Are you insinuating that these "people" are actually lizard people? 🦎

[@deierbel2215]

@Golden Grin Yeah.. that's pretty bad, I just dress like I work at Hot Topic 😅

[@Madallen2002]

Do yourself a favor. Don't. You shouldn't affiliate yourself with this just because its quote within the generation.

[@yaya_delta530]

The quality of content on TikTok will never impress me. Not just with metal, but with almost everything else

[@blackhaze8233]

The whole thing is just a cesspool of narcissist with no talent and no personality.

[@jfufu26847]

As an actual metalhead and teenager this hoolaginism makes no sense to me. And the fact people can’t watch something or listen to something for more than 10 seconds to a minute is genuinely upsetting and sad because long ass songs like the thing that should not be or like solway Firth are actually pretty good this is a giant run on sentence that doesn’t make sense but I feel I just had to say it

[@noahreed3489]

I love Mike. This is like the old man yelling at cloud meme, except in KZbin form lol. edit: After further analysis, Tik Tok is as bad as I thought it was, I understand the pain Mike went through in this video.

[@humanoid251]

That clip of the guy roasting what Rob Zombie songs are like reminds me of this tweet I saw where someone said something along the lines of “System Of A Down songs are all like IM THE MUSHROOM MAN! IM THE MUSHROOM MAN! OooOOOOoooOoooHh. In 2003 Amnesty International released reports of human rights violations by the U.S. military…”

[@pip5528]

I'm gen Z and grew up with cassettes, CDs, and streaming. I got into LPs in my late teens. That Master of Puppets bit is kinda true because I have fallen asleep to that on the train or if I'm trying to listen to an album for the first time, sometimes I'm just so tired that even while listening to "loud" or "extreme" music, I just fall asleep even while I'm trying to pay attention. Caffeine also gives me the paradoxical effect most of the time and sometimes ironic.

[@pip5528]

@IchigoMatsumoto1889 In practical terms, yes. However, you can get better sound quality out of them with the right gear than the average person thinks you can. Modern decks aren't fully up to the same standard as vintage high-end ones yet and they apparently don't have the licensing for Dolby Noise Reduction specifically so they implement something else but you can also get new cassettes since they made a comeback although not as big as vinyl did. Cassette decks don't require a ton of setup but they require more internal maintenance than turntables. You can also still get full-size CD and SACD decks.

[@heavybrett-al4082]

M so glad I was born in the 70's and my folks raised me on traditional metal.

[@keithrimes3667]

“Touch some f****** grass, please.”😂 Might be the best advice on the internet.

[@der_jannik_0115]

I enjoy a good roast. I also enjoy when someone can back up those roasts with knowledge. So yes, this is my favorite KZbin channel, thanks for asking 🙏

[@naomitudon]

Metalhead TikTok and IG Reels are pretty much the same. It's either the gatekeeping type or the "Look bro, I can headbang" type and play different songs in different places around their houses Also, love the editing in this video. I'll never get tired of saying it 😆

[@kingcrimson0646]

This is the modern day version of mike reacting to kids not knowing “old” music

[@frankvielma4096]

I did a college presentaiton were I played a variety of metal songs in a pitch to get people to try different music. The kids posting this shit must be hyperfocusing on one or two off comments or just creating them in their head cuz reception was awesome and the only negative comments I've heard in my life about metal was that it was too loud. Mainly commenting for the algorithm but I hope anyone reading has a great day.

[@The_Eclipse_Conspiracy]

Mike: we can play thrash metal Plays bleed

[@fifismatik7594]

Quote of the day: Go touch some grass.

[@lukewoodworth2101]

3:33 Mike literally looking up like "why god"

[@Mikemcjr]

I got on TikTok for a few months then the shorts started becoming nauseating after awhile,started to see the downside and deleted it

[@deangullberry5148]

Tik Tok is Chinese for "We're Retarded" I'm not Chinese but I did eat egg rolls for dinner

[@mutantkitten7765]

We've set the bar so low that simply having a certain look and or aesthetic is concidered content and just as deserving of views as actual talent.

[@ibanezguitars360]

The “festival video” is cedar point in Sandusky ohio and as that as my home park. We do not claim this guy who made the video lol

[@D_McGeezacks]

Yeah, some Merciless Mike, let's goooo

[@ocarina2259]

I laughed so goddamn hard at that Rob Zombie bit lmfao.

[@EzioMonty117]

I already knew TikTok was bad just based on its reputation but after having seen this compilation, i never would have guessed it was this braindead. Thank god i don't use the app.

[@jesseoreilly1792]

It is everything idiotic and cringey about social media condensed down into the ultimate (garbage) platform. I am worried it is going to usher in the end of western civilization. Lol.

[@chrissyswifey]

blud is telling people to touch grass as he yells at teenagers on tiktok for liking metal 😭😭

[@trainerfrostclashworldt.v1098]

Those are done by fake fans Real metal fans are introverted and dont use tiktoks💀💀💀 Really tho metal in the 90s were better The gen z matal fans are cringe ( really cringe )

[@CollinLake]

I knew you leaned right when you refused Tik tok…Love your content ❤❤

[@evanmartin5269]

The clip where its playing audio of a solo is making fun of the first clip. There was a lot of content that followed the format of the first clip so people starting making fun of it.

[@matiosmi137]

Mike, I get self criticism is valid but don't beat yourself up too much - you're absolutely not competing with this XD Besides, EU and USA have recently been making some steps towards banning TikTok so there's a ray of hope I guess XD

[@Tsudkyk]

I really enjoyed the final commentary at the end of the video. “Old man yelling at cloud” nailed it.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

For many years - between 15 and 25, I would go to bed every night to the sound of a full rock.album - loud! I upgraded to a triple disc player, and would select some unique mix every night, and put it on shuffle. So...Def Leppard Hysteria...Smashing Pumpkins Aeroplane flow high box set single/EP....Pearl Jam No Code.. Or.. GnR Lies...NIN the fragile...Counting Crows Recovering the Satellites. Or... Silverchair Freakshow... Powderfinger Double Allergic...Rage Against the Machine (self titled) See how much fun it was, the 3 CD player on shuffle..?? And no other time do you give your full, undivided attention to music appreciation. In the day, you'll be driving, working... something else. And you don't consume whole albums at a time. But beddy byes...?? It's go time! It takes me away - and I had a hard time learning to fall asleep without it. I also drank quite heavily, back then..so, often I'd be moderately toasted as I drifted off on a fluffy cloud of Siamese Dream Fuzz.... Good times! 😄👍

[@shaisol8244]

The "I'm being held hostage" esthetic at the beginning is very fitting

[@kingofdragontown9680]

Don't worry Mike. I literally didn't know how to use my head voice until like 3 years of singing. I used to do everything in my chest voice.

[@spenkerdetanker9067]

another day of "Mike rages at the youth"

[@antonioguevara5697]

Pretty sure that was Cedar Point Halloweekends where the dude was going to play thrash for little kids. If that's the same band, they played Avenged Sevenfold (pretty poorly) and Disturbed's Down With The Sickness. They actually played through the mommy part and I was pretty tipsy, filling in the words and having a party myself. Definitely not a bragging gig but thought it would be fun to play all dressed up. Very average cover band and was like "Must not be too hard to get this gig".

[@jorgeoviedo870]

Tik tok is haram, HARAM

[@CaloBrown]

Damn, I'm glad I grew up in the 90's, cause I doubt my I.Q. would be anywhere near the double digits.

[@jakubnowak649]

could you make an entire video about the importance of music? you talked about it a bit, but I'd like to hear full reasoning. btw Adam Neely's video "What does music mean" and Leonard Bernstein lecture which he talks about are something interesting in this context, maybe you could say what you think about it or something

[@mellowgold94]

4:30 no its a joke video lol, they've done it like 5 times, it's a good band too, they're called V*A*S*E.

[@yes0genesis]

In summary, yes, it's that bad out there. Worst part is now I'm made to feel like I have an anger problem or I'm a curmudgeon or something but I wholeheartedly believe it is the appropriate reaction to this cringe (and not just metal tiktoks, pretty much tiktok and the like in general). Idiocracy coming to life.

[@ZrankFappaH]

Soo true about music having a calm effect, even though it’s stimulating and aggressive etc. I literally know people that fall asleep to Infant annihilator and Lorna Shore and it baffles me tbh.

[@Lazy_eye_blobFish]

5:21 I would have been so disappointed in Mike if he did not laugh at this one.Because I have the sense of humor of a twelve-year-old boy and I'm 31 years old and I love vegetables.This made me chuckle and I don't even know who the artist is, So where I agree with the rest of this video before this.I would have been seriously upset with him if he didn't chuckle at.This because this is low africans and we can get behind. It's like he stated low effort is okay.How you perform the low effort is what really matters.

[@Ryo7_7]

I consider this socially ironic comedy. I want to both laugh and be stranded in the waters of the gulf coast.

[@MrSportsadam]

Best part of the video is Mike react to a teen wearing black and white face paint and listen to black metal (the worst metal music)

[@robbiegarnz7732]

lol! The monster mash commentary was hilarious! 😂

[@tbone121974]

And here's me thinking musicians spend years honing their craft on an instrument with a small slither of a chance to turn pro; only to be superceded by a tiktok with minimal effort and millions of views. I'd still keep playing my instrument any day of the week.

I would love some more tiktok criticism videos. Hearing you say pretty everything I’ve wanted to about it brings me so much solace. But you probably don’t want to spend your time doing a bunch of these

11:20 That's pretty much the difference between parenting in the USA vs Europe. In Europe, we just let our kids pretty loose so they can have experiences by their own. While in the USA parents want to "overcontrol" their children and filter what they experience. We also take our Kids to Football/Socer games where adults are mostly drunker and more aggressive than at metal festivals.

[@Cicada-eg4pw]

3.28 "oh my fucking god" I feel the same way that dude is doing a death metal growl but is wearing corpse paint which is black metal

[@williamlanger9229]

I agree with you on all of these, except the one at 0:35 ( lol, 0 3 5). I find it a slight bit funny because I thought it was basically a satire of the acoustic one (and the trillion others like it) from right before. at least thats how I interpreted it. On the other hand, the Iron Maiden one was actually so cringey that I couldn't really watch that entire section of the video. that, and the one at 3:19 are what I'd consider "bad cringe". good cringe is stuff like Troll 2 or the Room. you cringe at them but they're enjoyable. those two Tiktoks, in particular, are legit hard to watch.
