Gen Z vs Millennial react to OPETH

[@markblaauw4961]

Opeth is religion. Sleep Token is, with all respect, still wet behind the ears.

[@mycoachknowsthesheriff]

Sleep Token is nothing compared to Opeth

[@PaulHilburger]

Correct!

[@opethdan2408]

Sleep Token is nothing. (There I fixed it)

[@CORS1NHACROMADO-ix5yh]

i like sleep token, but opeth for me it just in another level bro

[@putos00769]

@@opethdan2408 Hahahahaha great answer

[@LuckyBull]

I feel like an old geezer... When she mentioned 'sleep token' in the sentence, I thought it meant that she was listenning to Deliverance while sleeping. I had no idea that it was a band that was founded in 2016. I assumed that was it. Because that person was in fact me when I was in high school more than a decade ago, listenning to Opeth...while sleeping.

[@ButterMilkPancakes]

"what do you do during this" uhh you listen to it holy shit. Gen Z brain is so cooked

[@FilleIceRises]

I don’t know what a sleep token is. But i do know that i’ve been listening to Opeth for 20 years and im still not bored.

[@streganona8185]

Gen Z is still very young and it's our job to teach them properly. 😉

[@coffeeandbytes9854]

Ain't that the truth. My 11 year old niece: "But I don't like this music!" Me: "You will soon...'

[@evol1901]

gen z attention span is cooked

[@jr34v3r]

Seriously this girl cant go 4 seconds without talking

[@joshwietzke3845]

Nope. They just need mentors

[@nivarad8497]

comparing Opeth and Sleep Token? lmao

[@darkphoenix2]

5:18 "what do you do during this time" I listen to the music

[@scyphe]

I don't think she actively listen to music, it's probably background noise to her.

[@abcrx32j]

You're listening to music, not adding an OST

[@SnuSnu91]

This was... hard to watch... :|

[@daniloviscito6086]

You can't compare Opeth to anyone in this world

[@devonleckie5732]

The utter disrespect when she skipped..

[@CristhianMolina-si4up]

well that's when they lost me haha. Thanks to them for the not-reaction I guess

[@Surajkumar-qw7eh]

The woman sitting in the bed room not shutting up for 5 second, my mood ruined and it was my fav song from Opeth

[@anttimohkoi7437]

Is the girl with blue/black hair not able to shut up for 5 seconds?

[@butterfliesandmoths]

No her Ego is too big to let the song steal her spot in the centre of attention for more than 10 sec.

[@HausOfPain]

I turned it off when she said Sleep Token. Ugh.

[@plm6523]

It pains me to hear stuff like that. Comparing one of, if not THE best prog metal band of all time to Sleep Token... Dont get me wrong they're not terrible, but you are comparing a tiny swing to a roller coaster

[@mpkelley20]

Not enough young people appreciate music. They appreciate singers who are made up to be famous but ignore the band in the back. For people who love this kind of music, it’s about the music. All of it. The guitars, drums, bass, keyboards. Hearing the soundscape. Once you actually hear it, it begins the journey into what music really is. And yes, I’m a gen x and find most pop music to be throwaway music. Lol

[@thegreatpandemonium]

This is the most infuriating Opeth reaction I’ve ever seen 💀 Anyways Opeth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[@thegreatpandemonium]

Okay actually this is almost unwatchable and making me angry goodbye

[@abdul_Opeth]

Yep she said, I don't have the bandwidth. Which reflects the mentality of Gen Z. No time to enjoy real music.

[@Tachyon2213]

It sounds good because they're playing PRS guitars. Born in Maryland, USA

[@DeanMetalAngel666]

Okay so I love Sleep Token and get the comparison, but no offense to them they don’t even crack my top fifty musical artists LOL; I'm sure that they would if my list was more purely Metal but Orchestral along with Jazz and Electronic as well as Folk not to mention all of their fusion genres with Metal had to have their healthy amount of entries within the rankings... and throughout all of that Opeth still ranks at number three overall on my list barely behind Igorrr themselves at a very close second to Ne Obliviscaris.

[@jr34v3r]

Lmao Sleep Token wishes they could kiss Mikael Akerfeldts feet. Its blasphemy to mention that garbage in the same sentence as Opeth

[@abdul_Opeth]

Opeth is a corner stone band. The musicians are creative, talented, and novice in their music to say the least. I am lucky to have lived listing for thier music compared to nowadays music...

[@abcrx32j]

I would argue Sleep Token is a watered-down Tool. Like, it's relatively experimental, super easy to get to for non-metalheads, like a good gateway drug. I would say today's Opeth is Ne Obliviscaris

[@seanedwards9569]

Love that started with Deliverance! You could’ve went with Blackwater Park and I wouldn’t have blamed you. Now I’ll just sit here and wait patiently for you two to review the absolute masterpiece that is Still Life 😇

[@4SM93]

I feel like this style of metal is like the classical section of metal.

[@heyokah]

And this is why "gen z" makes me fear retirement.

[@joseurielcorreanunez9310]

Why would you skip?

[@qwerty.4450]

You are setting us gen z people back please stop😭

[@om75222]

is just like pink floyd but metal luvs very theatrical with complex arrangement yet heavy

[@FELTSZ]

Thanks for discussing this band. In fact, very few girls listen to Opeth. Most of their music contains a romantic mood and mystical narratives, woven from tragic ones, foreshadowing irreversible disasters. In contrast, and as you noted, Michael is a man with a good sense of humor.

[@victors.6255]

It's very irritating with the constant pausing and talking over the music and skipping. Do better.

[@illuminahde]

You'll have to pay her clips in 15 second intervals. Zero attention span

[@robertpetre9378]

I’ve seen Opeth live three times and met them as well, really great guys and very funny.

[@henrikeatworld]

This might be the worst reaction video I've ever seen....

[@Zuracooking]

Sleep Token 😂😂😂 no offense but Opeth is just a different breed

[@jsghetler]

Can’t she be quiet while the song is playing? Holy fuck….

[@Johnytomm]

this is unbelievable lol, does she just listen to 3.5 minute radio songs?

[@joaorafaeldossantos4891]

Recomend this music of Opeth The Drapery Falls (Live)

[@stephencowie696]

Its interesting to remember - i had to use a shed as an antenna to pick up Triple J in Australia for the 3 hours of power - and that was essentially all the new metal you could get out in the back of nowhere - so those long songs gave you more of the band you loved....i gravitated to Tool, Slayer etc and those glorious Aussie bands who came out our way (thankyou Alchemist/Segression)

[@datnillavondizzle]

Homegirl has the musical attention span of a bowling ball.... Opeth is rule, legend and gospel!

[@Powick01]

Just play the damn song and listen to it instead of constant gassing!

[@sultanalkhader1630]

Another Opeth song! Maybe The Moor

[@metalmike1976]

There's 2 types of people in this world; Those that Love OPETH, and those that are wrong. Best damn Band the world has ever been graced with.

[@kriskenard]

glad y'all did this because i know how much this band means to Sophie

[@mattiasdavidsson7423]

"My favorite album is Watershed." My girl, love that Opeth merch.

[@alpha_waves]

Sleep token lol give me a break

[@InfamousDominion]

I believe OPETH/Mikael Åkerfeldt has an influence on Vessels lyric writing. They are both wordsmiths!

[@jconan28]

This is hard to watch. Stop talking and listen to the damn song. Couldnt finish this video.

[@SevenAsses]

This was honestly unwatchable. The "gen Z" just couldn't stop talking. I was just annoyed enough to type this comment. Garbage video

[@streganona8185]

Every song Opeth creates is an Opus. Just listen quietly and enjoy, Loves. 💜

[@kuningaskolassas4720]

Never really understood why this track is so popular. Opeth has much better offerings.

[@coffeeandbytes9854]

I often get the ironing done to extreme metal. Any time I'm sorting the kitchen, I have either metal or noise blasting.

[@jamesheit609]

Prog is prog, it isnt that you have to say something about every part, but every part is worth talking about.

[@progperljungman8218]

Yup! Watershed is probably their best 😊

[@matttyree1002]

Lol, gen z has NO attention span 😂 a whole generation of squrrels ;p

[@CCDaDon15]

Of course Bloodbath has to be next right? Fathomless Mastery?

[@babakhajisadeghi4192]

My favorite bloodbath album underrated as fuck

[@jordanjoestar8839]

Gojira! Way too many songs to choose. Perhaps "To Sirius" or "From The Sky" are a good medium.

[@laststand2187]

Next time don't ever pause a track to opeth when you listen to it guys and stop make a conversation please.... Just enjoy 🤘

[@williamadkins2170]

After the 5 minute mark of nothing but talking, I had to leave.

[@harrybaggins666]

I'm the elder gen z/baby millennial and we do not claim her. She does not represent us. Opeth is one of my favorite bands ever and I have literally no problem with long songs. She specifically has a bad attention span.

[@hermanomann6075]

Opeth = Movies

[@arwiviv]

I like the GenZ girl....Ive been into Opeth since 1999.

[@21gexperiment]

They said during the intro they've encountered Opeth at a festival but didn't give them their full attention... ummm...

[@MrDe2060am]

The eternal riff 🧘

[@ThunderTaco206]

My guess for this reaction was BWP, but I'm not even a little bit mad at this. Deliverance is peak Oldpeth. And while Sleep Token is great, they don't hold a candle to Opeth.

[@henrilopes7337]

I too am obsessed with Opeth

[@MathiasDruart]

Holly molly. This chick can't stay focused for 15 seconds. What the hell?

[@jesusfreaklol1]

she may be hype though if sleep token wrote a 13 min track tho

[@vesuvius115]

Listen, Sleep Token ain't my thing, and hell, I think Opeth is on a whole ass different level than Sleep Token. But yall attacking them for bringing up Sleep Token is absolutely stupid considering I guarantee you, back in the 90s, early 2000s, yall probably had older people critiquing Opeth at the time or any of the other music you guys listened too. Stop being an elitist and let people enjoy what they enjoy.

[@doug6threescore6]

Damn girl you like Opeth too? You're fucking awesome! You said watershed was your favorite album,you should have gave her the coil/ Heir apparent rugpull lol! I started listening to them like 98-2002,(those years are a blur) metal head sex music? Red house by Jimi Hendrix...you flatten out your tongue and move it to the .... let's calm down, TYPE O Negative is the answer (my #1&2 favorite bands Type O Negative, Opeth, and depending on what's going on in my miserable existence as to who #1 is). Anesthesia,I know you're Fucking some one else,Dead Again, World Coming Down, there is not a Bad Type O Negative album, and If you like all of those other bands,The Drab Four are for you! This is the Sex music!

[@FernandaPereira-ow3jo]

Annoyingly talkatives 🙄🙄🙄 Very disrespectful of the song. You just want to show off

[@pendulumandraven9338]

13 mins? Deliverance is my favourite

[@SkylineBilip]

Wen bleak, ghost of perdition, sorceress? Wen wen wen? XD

[@Nukaria]

you can tell yasmin is younger xD no patience. " what do you do in all that time" xD I mean as someone else stated, you listen to the music lol. Maybe growing up with instant messaging so young makes one feel uneesy to just listen to something and not simultaniously be physically doing something as well? (i have adhd btw, i know the struggle in some sense x'D) But yes. You just need to slow down and close eyes and let the music take you on a journey. You Barely gave it a chance here lol.

[@Heatwave9000]

Don't lump us gen z in with her. I'm 20 and prog metal is my favourite

[@Nukaria]

@@Heatwave9000 some people just have more patience than others then :D was just kinda frustrating to see someone not even really listen to the music properly, talking over it and already writing it off as too long before even listening to it. Came across child like. But I apologise if it seemed i was lumping all gen z in with this person. I have a kid born in 09, technically i'm mum to a late gen z and he is pretty patient to be fair so i should know better 😅

[@MaxiQK9]

Es tremendo como no puede estar mas de un minuto sin cerrar la boca y escuchar

[@lunanimomusic]

Gen Z is lost. This is depressing.

[@RafaelMouramagalhaes-z7t]

Progressive death metal

[@Aj66602]

I can’t even consider Sleep Token metal… proggy I guess and heavy at times but not metal

[@ryanomri1417]

7:14 That was the moment when they ruined the whole song

[@Brent_P]

Someone needs to listen to more Sleep Token 🙄

[@bibo2445]

Thanks for this video, this explains why metal has been going steadily downhill for the past 20 years. 300bpm guitars, 300 db belting vocals, "transgressive" edgy lyrics; but no soul. This is the audience that appeals to.

[@AkelasanAK]

... you skipped ... i don't care to watch further ...

[@CrisAaG]

deliverance is a short song hehe

[@SuperCaptinmac]

I usually don't comment. But that was blasphemy. And did she listen to the whole song or just parts of it? She wasn't even listening tho.

[@Cuentanuevanueva-e4j]

this was painful

[@butterfliesandmoths]

You're skipping after breaking the song though constant talking? It's a journey, it needs build up, it's a completely different way of listening. Why are not all movies 1h30min? ...This feels like introducing the movie Pulp Fiction to a five year old that doesnt speak english 😂 Game Over.

[@christophersims3319]

How about Morbid Angel next. 😈

[@Tachyon2213]

can you all stop talking for 13 seconds? I'm out

[@EliaszPimpicki]

yasmine, keep being cool!!

[@dimmuborgir4804]

Cocky gen Z. All show. No go…
