Gen Z Reacting To Slipknot Is Hard To Watch...

Apparently the younger generation can't get into metal... Recently, the REACT channel had some kids from Gen Z check out Slipknot, and recently on Twitch, we checked it out to see how they handled it...

[@MrSchism]

As a dude who coordinated guitar lessons for 5 years up until very recently... GenZ is way more accepting of metal than previous generations. These kids.... They're outliers.

[@TankTheTech]

I don’t doubt it, honestly. I think we realized very quick that this was just rage click bait. Haha

[@MrSchism]

@@TankTheTech Honestly, a few years back, Doja Cat did that metal version of Say So, Poppy won Best Metal Performance for Blood Money, and we started seeing artists like Mothica. Pop has accepted metal. Kids haven't accepted music.

I feel like the generation who can respect and appreciate music the best is gen z. Idk tho cause I love listening to different music genres.

[@charlieschuder9976]

@@CepellinGluglu IMO, the younger generations always respect the music of the older generations. Think about how many times you've heard, "Dude, today's music is crap. Back in my day we listened to..." My dad's dad loved old-school outlaw country like Hank Sr., who my dad picked-up when listening to Elvis and The Beach Boys, while he and my mom both started rocking-out to bands like The Who, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc., all the way through the 80's. Then my dad turned me onto Clapton, SRV, and ZZ Top, while my mom got me into NIN and Tool....which led me to ask: who's the heaviest band out there? Some dudes on a BBS turned me onto Napalm Deth and Cannibal Corpse, and all Hell broke from there. lmfao I've expanded my tastes far beyond those scopes ever since, of course; loving jazz, country, folk, bluegrass, rock, metal, hip-hop, rap, classical. I've got everything from Burn the Priest to Moon Hooch to Tchaikovsky, and even some Hank, Sr., too! (fuck the rest of the Hanks, they suck) I think it's generational; I try to be polite and optimistic as possible, and despite loving some modern music I learn about every day, it's a bit surreal to realize we'll never see another mainstream Guitar God again. Relics of the past, unfortunately. :(

I’m guessing that he thinks “heavy metal” refers to metal music which is heavy compared to other metal music. I.e. extreme metal (black, death, deathcore, etc). (Lets be honest, to a person who pretty much never listens to metal, Slipknot probably appear to be borderline death metal). It’s a pretty logical assumption, really. It just so happens that in the case of the music genre, the entire genre is called “heavy metal”. And “metal” is simply an abbreviation for “heavy metal”

@@AmonAmarthFan609 Wasn't he the one that said he liked Limp Bizkit? He probably likes nu-metal like POD or Papa Roach; really, what was really considered remnants of the late grunge rock, so refering to those bands as belonging in the metal genre seems like he's just confused as to what was considered more mainstream metal outfits of the time, like Deftones or Korn, who leaned just as heavily into vocal melodies as they did the chunky, chaotic guitar riffs.

We're a tougher breed. We were promised lies, gaslit by unqualified quacks, and given a falling empire and we dealt with it with metal and skill-building. I think Gen Z is the first truly regressive generation, backed by actual statistical IQ data (so, it's not just our subjective perception; it's measurable). They can't handle any sort of hardship, they can't even handle when you accidentally misgender them. Nearly none of them can lift a 30lb. ammo can. Gen Z splits into a few groups: 1. The people that think it's not a falling empire (delusionaly unprepared) 2. The people that know it's a falling empire and have accepted it, (infinitely demoralized) 3. The people that know it's a falling empire and will be taking over pieces of it (as much as they are likely my enemy, I respect the energy, even if I don't respect it not being directed at the people who caused the collapse They are weak, substandard, easy to manipulate, easy to destroy, and something is coming to test that. C19 was a joke and this wimpy civilization couldn't even handle that. Wait until a real one hits.

Yes the finebros are notorious for framing and creating artificial bias in their videos and most reactions should be taken with a grain of salt. I myself am considered Gen Z but my metal journey started with Oomph!'s Labyrinth back in 2011-12 and have been slowly expanding my interests and genres throughout the years, even expanding into breakcore and its many genres. As for Slipknot, I only recently started listening to them back in the summer of 2023, its genuinely such a great sound and definition, and has helped with a lot of motivation for me between work, school and even my art work. But how I got into them was through a manga artist, Q Hayashida, that is so obsessed with them she'd frequently add references or even draw them in her manga. There's even just a drawing of Corey featured in one of her published sketch books. In fact, I'd almost argue Slipknot inadvertently created Dorohedoro by the constant theming of Masks, the cameos but most importantly, you can actually hear which song influenced specific scenes and story arcs throughout Dorohedoro. Virus of Life, Before I Forget, Duality, and Spit it Out just a handful of the few that immediately come to mind. So yes, Slipknot has such an influence its basically global at this point.

[@Marci_Queen]

When they say "this isn't music" that is such a strong statement, and it says a lot that people don't realize. Music in any form helps people stay motivated through day to day living. Everyone has their style of music, and almost anything can be music. The word music is such a big word in meaning, and for someone to say a song isn't music just isn't right.

[@oldmanrick68]

I think it depends who's making that statement. In this case you have a very pretentious person hearing something they don't like and, in their way, screaming to whoever will listen "this isn't music". It would very different coming from someone who was prepared to enjoy something that isn't on their radar. I think this person saw slipknot, thought they weren't cool and blurted out the most disrespectful thing you can say to any band.
