TOOL Fans Are AUTISTIC??

[@novemdecillionairegrindset454]

I hate that this was in my feed 🙃

[@xianmusicsucks81]

I'm autistic and I was in their top 1% of listeners last year!

[@UntitledtotheGrave]

Hell yeah!

[@cranboogie]

Some of us, Toolheads, are introverts, maybe most of us 🌀🌀🌀😂😂😂

[@UntitledtotheGrave]

Probably :D

[@hiveldket]

Or adhd as in my case listening to their sound scape just clams my brain right down to the piint i am super relaxed 😂

[@wocis3410]

Yep. That's true. ;D

[@nicoetic]

Diagnosed AuDHD 🙋‍♀️ and Tool fan for about 20 years now. Can confirm I’ve never started a conversation with someone at a show, lol. I’m sure the fan base is more heavily introverted in general, but probably also a larger neurodivergent fan base than average. 🤷‍♀️

[@UntitledtotheGrave]

@@nicoetic Yeah I've also never started a conversation that I can remember lol. But yeah definitely the vibe was different there than most other gigs I've been to

[@allisonphillips8056]

I'm just glad I wasn't the only person to have this thought! Awesome merch design too for Stockholm.

[@Mintis-bh4rr]

hmm yeah maybe. I don't think im autistic but definitely a pretty weird guy as a lot of people tell me

[@UntitledtotheGrave]

Nothing wrong with that at all. I mean just look at me, lol. While there's definitely a bigger demographic of for example autistic people in Tool's fanbase, that comment is meant to be taken moreso as a joke. It's because of how I felt when being in the more percieved introverted Tool crowd. But I definitely see myself as autistic too. That sort of ties in with the joke.

[@MrClapTrap]

Why didn't you speak to them? Why are you expecting people to come up to you?

[@UntitledtotheGrave]

@@MrClapTrap Of course that's a valid point. But I feel like I would be a bother to most people, and the vibe there was definitely more introverted and sort of "do not disturb me" I felt.

[@waylingtons]

It’s insanely narrow minded to call an entire fan base of a band “autistic” simply because you had a strange experience at a concert. I admit Tool probably have a very niche fanbase but it’s ridiculous to say “tool fans are autistic”

[@UntitledtotheGrave]

I think it's insanely narrow minded how people can not see the humor in the title and just take it so serious, and not feel the tone in how I said it in the video, thereby not knowing the kind of obvious joke-atmosphere. This is just a video of me telling my experience, and how I felt like the vibe from the crowd was different than any other concert I've been to. This is not made to offend anyone, or to say that all Tool fans act in any way, it is just me telling my experience in a funny way. I believe I also never said in the video that Tool fans are autistic, just that I questioned it since people acted a little differently than what I'm used to.
