I was surprised to see Yung Lean mentioned in this video, but I really think you pretty accurately described a large portion of his fans. Leandoer, while not as original or influential as someone like SpaceGhostPurrp or Lil B, totally did do some crazy shit for SoundCloud. You can see in his interviews (at least his sober ones) that he is very clearly an intelligent guy who knows a lot about life, mostly due to him getting famous, doing drugs, and “growing up” at an early age. Yung Lean never graduated high school, yet he is quite calculated and deliberate in his actions, because of the hard lessons he learned from his youth, yet still somewhat misses that unhinged, drug-fueled, rockstar lifestyle. I feel like his fans go to that lifestyle, despite their idol telling them not to, because they are, for a lack of better words, anxious and chronically online nerds.

[@Eclecticompany]

I think Finn went easy on some of these bands/fans. So, in the cases where I don't know anyone who likes the music, I'll extrapolate on a couple of examples. I think the members of Limp Bizkit probably dumb down the music in order not to alienate their fans. Similarly, (some) Tool fans will think stating a song has a I-vi-IV-V chord progression makes them sound smart. And finally, I suspect Weezer fans don't see the irony of millionaires living in Santa Monica, wishing they lived in Beverly Hills; which would be a short and easy move. Also, I think most rappers since the days of gangsta rap have pretended to be dumber than they are. In my first year at university I lived in halls, and smoked weed constantly, and the apartment became a hub for people all over the campus who wanted weed. As a consequence I didn't talk much, and one time, upon learning I was studying literature a guy I only knew by sight, said he thought I would be studying engineering, "or something like that". 25 years later I'm not sure whether it was a compliment or insult.

[@strongbad666]

Cannibal Corpse is one of the few first-generation death metal bands I could never get into. With Death's 'Leprosy' and Gorguts' 'Considered Dead', Monstrosity's 'Imperial Doom', you got the schlock effect of horror as an aesthetic, not as a religion how Cannibal Corpse made it. They also did little to branch out musically. Something that cannot be said for Death and Gorguts.

[@andrewlikesmetal1095]

Monstrosity got robbed man. Talk about underrated. Seems like they were used as a talent farm for other bands. There's an alternate reality out there where george stayed at monstrosity, chris ruined corpse, and we would've laughed at cannibal corpse the way we currently do at six feet under.

I really wish people would stop using GEDs as examples of stupidity. The GED is a career saver for handicapped, chronically ill, and traumatized youths. There are people that use it because they're lazy or unintelligent, but there are far better things to use as a stereotype for stupidity. I was born with Crohns disease but not allowed to go to a doctor without having a fever over 102°. By mid-high school I was very ill and in a lot of pain, and I was also dealing with abuse. I moved in with my girlfriend when I was 16, eventually dropped out, got my GED the day after I turned 18, and enrolled in college on time. My girlfriend was a magnet student and was in a program for gifted math students to get them started in engineering. She got a full scholarship to Georgia Tech and got her degree in 4 years, she wouldn't have been into me if I was an idiot. I was in the advanced program and had a 3.6 GPA at the time that I dropped out. I have met many others since that had stories similar to mine, or that had horrible struggles with abuse and/or alcoholic/drug addicted parents. Again, there are many things that are more emblematic of stupidity than getting your GED.

Reading some of the lyrics from Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Hair Metal, Thrash Metal, Metalcore, Deathcore, Death Metal, Black Metal, Prog Metal, Groove Metal etc etc etc. None of it is intelligent stuff lyrical wise and I'd say like 95% of metal lyrics of every genre is just cringe So why does Limp Bizkit get the Backlash for being cringe? I understand the other criticisms Limp Bizkit get but the cringe lyrics.... no different to like 95% of metal... especially ones who try to take themselves seriously. Hence why I can't fault bands like Limp Bizkit, Dope or Cannibal Corpse for being cringe because these bands seems to not take themselves seriously. They know their music is cringe and have embraced it and i respect that. They aren't trying to protray themselves as deep meaningful bands with thought provoking lyrics and deep meanings.
