Clean and Sober Stoner 1000 SUBS: THANK-YOU!!!

Clean and Sober Stoner 1000 SUBS is something I can't believe I'm writing. We're a sub-niche within a sub-niche,: Not exactly the kind that pops up in a casual keyword search.
A KZbin Channel dedicated to Stoner/Doom is hard enough. One that is also Recovery-adjacent and deals with mental health and addiction? The odds were clearly against us.
Generally, this scene gets no respect at all aside from Sea of Tranquility. You're far more likely to find reviews and comments hostile towards this form of Heavy Rock/Heavy Metal.
And yet, here we are with 1000 people clicking the button. Some are for music Playlists, others watch the Interviews and some even dig the reviews and the occasional rant.
From all of us on the KZbin Channel and blogs: Julie, Jipsy, Blake, Rev, Joe, Nick and myself: thank you so much for letting us do some weird shit!
Welcome to Clean and Sober Stoner!
It all started as a simple joke: the very idea of being a Clean and Sober Stoner seems ridiculous. But as time went on, it became clear that not everyone who listens to Stoner/Doom is blazing a fatty or chugging a brew. We started to gain an audience on the blog, cleanandsoberstoner.com, to the point that venturing into KZbin Land almost made sense...
If you spend any time at all on KZbin looking for new heavy music, you quickly find that it’s saturated with the same old faces covering the same old bands. On the one hand, the Gatekeepers complain that rock is dead, on the other hand, they act as if new bands don’t even exist.
Clean and sober Stoner decided to go in a different direction…
We cover the Heavy Metal Underground, known as Stoner/Doom. We focus on new Hard Rock, Heavy Rock, Heavy Metal, Traditional Metal, and Classic Rock-influenced bands in the Heavy Underground. Clean and Sober Stoner has become the #1 channel on KZbin that focuses on young and emerging Heavy Metal bands, giving you a chance to discover your new favorite band from the Heavy Underground. We have exclusive interviews, reviews, and even Live Reaction! Videos when we listen to a song and review it, Live and WITH THE BAND!!!
Occasionally, we venture into commentary on KZbin, Recovery, and Music Culture. The RANTS are rare, but they do happen
We think that Stoner/Doom is nothing more than good ol’ Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Progressive Rock, and Heavy Blues. What sets Stoner/Doom apart is the lack of commercial hype, auto-tuned generic riffs, quantized drums, and bland production that sounds like a bunch of Vanilla Sausage (Circle of Tone). Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, and even Prog didn’t die- they just went Underground!
