Metalhead TikTok CRINGE (this is brutal...)

[@solearesoul]

The thirst for metal heads came from Stranger Things, where one of the lead characters/heroes was an 80’s style metal head/hesher. All the girls were crushing on him. This is my theory.

[@maxcrowe]

Bingo. Turns out what they liked was actually the character's personality, which many people from many subcultures have. TV really gets people man.

As an ex hair stylist, the metal guys with the long hair had the HEALTHIEST and most shiny hair ever! When I quit, I let my own hair go natural, and now I have locks that rival all the early thrash metal dudes. Pure inspiration.😂

[@ZhovtoBlakytniy]

My husband is one of those guys. He basically does nothing but wash it once a week and brush it twice a day.

[@hatredbydesign]

​@@ZhovtoBlakytniy the less u wash your hair the healthier it will be shampoo is full of chemicals that strip your hair from its natural oils and conditioner is supposed to reapply some oil but its artificial and not good oils for your hair

[@kaield4763]

​@hatredbydesign there was a point where I'd shampoo my hair once every 4-6 weeks/never shampooing at all and i found the best is around once every 1½ weeks, but conditioning was always used

Calling Drowning Pool "Disturbed" is such a Finn thing to do, you people dont even realize he did that on purpose. This entire video, he talks about how funny it is to intentionally trigger Metalheads, & here we are. It's the "Radiohead is overrated" comment section all over again 😅

[@escherpainting8622]

No one whose favourite band is Mayhem has ever been with a girl that looks like any of the three shown. Or any girl. Or any person. They're barely themselves.

The fact that the description of the "cringe meter" was, in itself, extremely cringy.....is a hilarious irony :). I need a compilation of youtubers telling me how to youtube as well :P

I lived in LA during the 2000s emo scene and they all looked like this. It got me into the scene.

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

I have a story regarding the "metalhead/emo mixup." I was grabbing food at my college's cafeteria a few weeks ago, and I was just sitting in there waiting for my next class. This table of girls next to me were talking about some guy that I think one of them was kind of into, but she seemed kind of skeptical about him. So one of the other girls goes, "Ohh no, is he emo?", looks at me and says, "... like him?" It was such a funny thing, because I literally was sitting at my table listening to Björk with a big smile on my face (probably because I had just talked to a much nicer girl before this happened), and I just had on jeans and a black shirt. Now, obviously, I'm no longer a True Metalhead because I should have been absolutely seething over that comment, but instead I took the poser route of laughing about it and moving on with my day, lmao

[@ZhovtoBlakytniy]

Too well adjusted to be emo, adds up 😂

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

@@ZhovtoBlakytniy I don't know if I'd go as far as calling me well-adjusted (I'm a metal fan and a noise fan, so clearly something is off), but I looked pretty normal that day 😂

[@ItsJustMe0585]

I think I may be the only metalhead that actually loves country music (pre 2000 country music before it went over-the-top poppy)

[@yeahwhatever1184]

Same here! My family has lived in TN for generations and we all grew up on old, classic country so it just feels like home to me. Todays new pop country rap stuff is absolutely terrible though

[@symptomofsouls]

No a lot of metalheads appreciate good country music. Also Rush. We like Rush In northern maine that it's hard to listen to anything else

[@rogerdodger9192]

Nope, your not alone lol

[@665Sunshine]

I accidentally mixed up my cringe narcan and regular narcan. The other day someone tried to save me from dying, but instead all of the cringe removed from my body, so I just looked really cool instead of coming back to life.

[@jesuisunstroopwafel]

Finn's cap grants him a cringe immunity.

[@MrRoundthetwist]

[@Degradation11]

I’m a civilized metalhead. I listen to anything from NAILS to Simon & Garfunkel, but I do hate Country.

[@laurisaarinen1126]

Making fun of guys for being short is such an ancient thing women have been doing forever and it's never okay... It's pretty easy to say when you're not short but it's one thing that you absolutely CANNOT change, and i am sick of it. I can't believe someone would say "it's about time" someone treats short guys like they're worse because of how they were born...

Well as a metalhead weight lifting nerd 😂😂😂 I have to say that how is lifting weights and listening to metal a new concept? It's what pumps us up for the gym. When I was a kid in the 90s I thought this was a standard. I was wrong?

[@acerimmer8338]

As a physical therapist, 16:15 hits hard. I'm super excited that more people are getting in exercise/lifting, but gotdam I feel her. Improper technique is how I fucked my neck up permanently, which has left me w/ lifelong chronic pain. At the same time, you're super right about insufferable fitness choads. Used to be one and eventually learned what "unsolicited advice" is. Was a twat myself, sadly, but learned.

[@bongo_baggins]

That last guy really did have great hair tho. I remember watching a power metal band at a small bar gig, and I was standing behind this wall of dudes headbanging and windmilling, their heir kept whipping me in the face and it smelled fantastic. At least the power metal homies mind their hygiene lol

[@Khaoticnature11]

the cringiest thing about this entire building is mistaking Disturbed for Drowning pool.........smh

Your deffo correct about something being cringe. This whole ass 20 minute video. If pop and or country is your first recommendation as alternative things to listen to. Im taking aux cable and playlist privileges from you

Dude.. just try not to understand the double standards. It will make you go insane I remember being on Facebook and some meme page posted a cringe misogynistic meme and a lot of women in the comments were saying "NOT FUNNY" (Which to be fair. They were right. It was cringe) but the next day; this meme page posted a equally cringe misandristic meme about men saying something very similar and somehow the same women who were saying "NOT FUNNY"; Were now cracking up and finding it drop dead hilarious and making comments like "TRUEEEEE" I actually think the meme page might of done it as an experiment but I was facepalming by what i was seeing One rule for me and the other for thee. Complete oblivious to how much of a hypocrite they were with their reactions

3:35 😂 I have smelled a metal head before. He had poor hygiene, his room was a horror scene, he had trash everywhere around his bed, dirty laundry all on his dressers, huge holes in his walls, and guns and whips as a decor for his bedroom too. He also gaslighted me and manipulated me into believing a bunch of nonsense 🤦‍♀️ the first time I ever hung out at his place we watched Star Wars, but he tried to tell me we watched Scream. 😂

[@Jonathan-gj1rl]

Not really a metal head myself more of a casual listener. I have to disagree on the point about no one thinking metal is satanic. I’m Latino and I have heard this often from others in the Latino community. Doesn’t really matter what the lyrics are they just hear the vocals and think it’s demonic.They say stuff like “oh you listen to that devil shit?” Ironically these people usually listen to music about love of money, sex, and murder as if that isn’t satanic. I think there are exceptions from metal heads hating country and that is metal heads that grew up in the south. I’m from Texas and there is huge metal scene down here and a lot of them love country. My step brother is a drummer in a deathcore band and I’ve seen him play in cowboy boots 😂
