After watching five minutes of this, I realize I love cringe.

I'm sorry, but I really don't get the logic behind Ice Nine Kills and Motionless In White being more cringe than Attila and Limp Bizkit. Attila should be in its own category above pure cringe in my opinion.

as they say "never kill the cringe in yourself, kill the part of yourself that cringes"

ice nine kills is so good live though. they might be too theatrical for some people but it makes for an incredible show. the vocals are amazing too.

I can’t believe 75% of this list is even on here

Yeah, these bands are all mega cringe, but then again, you're wearing a mask with sunglasses over it, so the bands ain't the only cringe here.

How is Slipknot cringe? Maybe their imagery is cringe to some people, but their lyrics come from a dude venting out about things from his rough past all the way to just issues in the world he feels strongly about. The music itself may not be for everyone, but it definitely isn't cringe.

As a recent INK fan (2019) I did think they were ‘metal cringe’ but in a very good way. They 100% know they are super theatrical and that’s what makes them super fun especially in concert. Not only that but their videos are phenomenal. They do the horror genre well.

Y’all are taking this guy’s opinion way too seriously. If you like a band, you like a band. Who fucking cares?

I’m have to disagree with slipknot, MIW and INK

I strongly disagree about ice nine kills and motionless in white Especially MIW their lyrics are amazing! Also Chris Motionless is a really nice down to earth guy. He has an amazing stage presence and his voice is better live than a lot of bands with 10x his following

Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White, and Slipknot being more cringe than Limp Bizkit and Attila? Hahahahahaha nah not even close. Attila and Limp are like FFDP levels of cringe no questions asked. If anything Ice and Motionless are "cringe but fun" and Slipknot belong in like mild cringe.

Had to stop at Ice Nine Kills. Have you seen any of the Child's Play movies? They perfectly captured the essence in Assault & Batteries. What was even more odd was that you said Limp Bizkit is at least self aware and that makes them a less cringe. I don't know why that wouldn't apply to Ice Nine Kills also. The song writing is top notch as well as the lyrics. I can respect differing opinions but the reasoning has to be a lot better than it was here.

damn dudes, nothing wrong about being cringe accept your inner cringe and be free

We Are Not Your Kind is Slipknot's most mature album so I don't think that they got more cringey later on in their career. The Grey Chapter (one of my least favorite albums) is very mature as well. WANYK is definitely my favorite slipknot album by far.

Ink and miw sound amazing and their lyrics are super fun, they could be the most cringe bands on the planet and I would still love them.

Omg... this comment section is absolute gold. So much asshurt 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I didn’t think anyone found the mask for Slaughter To Prevail cringe. To me it’s their best selling point to differentiate themselves from other Deathcore bands. Need a shit tier Slipknot ripoff list. Some try the mask thing and end up looking so bad

I feel like people don't really get the difference between edgy lyrics and cringey edgy lyrics. Like Acid Bath, Sludge Metal legends, have edgy lyrics, but they back them up with stellar guitars, drum work and fantastic melody composition and quality vocal work, and there's a level of genuineness that's not present with alot of modern like "radio metal" bands, that skirt around being explicit for the sake of making money, they were hard drug addled swamp people from Houma, Louisiana, and I say that with the utmost love and respect for the entire band. But like anyone who can write a song with the lyrics "Eat My Dead Cock", followed shortly by the lyrics "Eat My Cold Shit" and make it sound like the hardest, heaviest shit is edgy yes, but not cringe, especially knowing they are widely considered one of the most influential bands to come out of the NOLA scene. Compare that to a band like Atilla, who have edgy, tough guy lyrics meant to be offensive and explicit but with zero genuineness, zero uniqueness, poor composition, sounding like your garden variety modern metal but worse. They don't have the "edge" to make their edgy and at times even goofy lyrics feel anything but just overwhelmingly cringe.

honestly man, i just listen to what makes me happy i dont care what band it is lmao

he is one of THOSE guys isn't he ?

slaughter to prevail, motionless in white, ice nine kills slipknot & memphis may fire should not be on this cringe list there all great bands there's nothing cringe about them at all 😒

I am now exclusively referring to my taste in music as "very cringe" because I am addicted to Ice 9 and MIW

Ice Nine Kills is one of the most creative and dedicated metal bands out there today. They but on a better live show and commitment to their concepts better than almost every other band on this list. I’ll defend them forever, so let’s not confuse creativeness with cringe

I subbed immediately after the Trapt slander. The mention of their Twitter presence was an added bonus because I forgot about how hard it is to deal with teenage angst in your late 30s. They're really raising awareness of people who peaked in high school and never let it go.

Ice Nine Kills and Motionless in White are FAR from cringe. They are such power musics with amazing lyrics and like a mix media of rock, i LOVE the theatrics and how bad ass it sounds. I don’t ever know why some would complain it’s too theatrical but it is that very essence why these 2 bands (along with falling reverse) are my favs. There’s this essence of scores, choir, violins and then metalcore *chefs kiss* and this isn’t even touching the lyrics yet. I think if i met anyone who didn’t like em, I’d just give side eye. Like… huh?

Calling Kid Rock "multi decade ambassador of cringe" is so effing perfect.

I agree that HellYeah is very cringe in a lot of ways, although I do like a few of their songs. I wish I had a time machine that would allow me to go back to the LD 50 days of Mudvayne- where Chad’s voice was at its absolute PEAK. That was SUCH a good album!

Every metal band is cringe in a way, when I first got into metal I found it pretty painful to watch but I think I’ve been normalized. Pretty much metal=cringe but good cringe.

Damn I'm a cringe guy.....I love most of these bands. I'm ok with that .

Atreyu didn’t always suck lol… Long Live is an awesome album imo

I love ice nine kills. Haha

when you see all of your favourite bands in the video 💀💀💀

I'm gonna be honest. New three days grace is pretty cringe. I love older 3dg but matt is bad at lyrics, I enjoy some of his songs but overall hes cringe

At first I also think Ink is cringe, but damn everything about them is so good I can't stop listeningXD For someone who doesn't know them well, the idea of a band that mostly make songs about horror movies really gives off that "fan songs that soon would become anthems for teens' fandoms" vibe. And it could be very cringey, but if you look at it from the perspective of the band, taking the time to make something for the stories you love isn't that cringe. Especially when I look at the lyrics and the puns, as a person that loves reading, the writing is great. I'm not saying I wanna fight you or whatever, different opinions so Idk why I'd do that. But that's how I stop thinking they're cringe. Edit: some of the bands in the video is still cringe for me, but they're so damn good I'll just embrace the cringe. Seeing them being cringey is kinda cute sometimes, makes me love the band more XD

INK is cringe in the absolute best way. Some of their songs are WAY too much cringe for me, but they are just so much fun. In an interview with Spencer where someone said that the band wasn’t as kitschy as she expected, he corrected her to say that it was very kitschy. Like people listen to 5fdp and think they are cool. INK has a sound somewhere between metalcore and musical theater, so a lot more listeners know it’s cringe but find it fun.

Strong disagree with INK. They are the kings of what they do. They love horror movies so much to the point they dropped TWO horror themed albums that were immediate successes. To say that is cringe is pretty poor

For slipknot I can understand but I love all their albums and the lyrics I just find entertaining not seriously

Alot of Motionless in White fans and Ice Nine Kills fans were in high school during Brokencyde and BOTDF. We were blinded to the cringe by comparison

Idk, maybe I’m biased but MIW is legendary. But I can see it. Also another band I personally love but deserves to be here is Falling In Reverse. Ronnie being a huge asshole doesn’t help anything and their pop punk was kinda horrendous to me

gotta say, being a huge ice nine kills and motionless fan, that thumbnail caught my eyes in an instant. had to check out the video and gotta say, killer. i liked that you never ONCE called any of these bands bad, just told your viewpoint on them. you were respectful when dishing out criticism, and your points made sense. i don’t know why everyone’s up in arms over this video, when you *LITERALLY* said that this was all in good fun at 0:16! people get so blinded by rage that they feel they HAVE to take it on when someone even slightly disagrees with them lol. keep it up, can’t wait to see part 2 with falling in reverse! love that band, and I will anxiously wait for your criticism on them. stay metal \m/

the motionless in white part made me giggle a little I do have to agree for me its like a guilty pleasure its still cheesy but fun :)

I remember when the Trapt “singer” started his whole Twitter meltdown and I saw someone comment that he has Aaron Lewis-political beliefs with the personality of Ronnie Radke. That is the funniest, yet best way to describe him. Also, when I heard “Headstrong” for the first time, I thought “When did Papa Roach get a new singer? He sounds awful. 😂”

I honestly love Limp Bizkit. They're not a band that you take seriously lyrically, but I really do love the musicianship. Chocolate Starfish had a lot of John Otto and Wes Borlands best work on it and it was a catchy, fun rock album.

I love slipknot, INK, and MIW. I mostly agree with MIW being cringe, but I love the sound and I can get behind the feel of the songs because they seem more genuine then most. Slipknot I don’t think is very hot topic, but while some lyrics I generally love, some are really bad like you said, ide still put them in mild cringe because I think for the most part it’s fine, but the song Get This also exists so I understand your placement. The only one I really disagree with entirely is INK. The songs are well put to together. The lyrics are corny because they are accurately portraying the source material and a lot of love and care is put into the music and their live performances. People like what they like and if it’s not for you, then more power to you. Even though I disagree with you and think some points may not have been the best, you still had good points and unlike others you weren’t outright shitting on these bands, and like you said we’re all a little cringe. Good video.

those metallica lyrics are like metalocalypse lyrixs

Yo Hed PE, I got a story about them. Saw them around I wanna say 2004 in a place called the Funhouse in Buffalo NY, it was a Halloween show. There was a contest party, oh and Filter was there. After the show the lead singer of Hed PE came to the upstairs bar and we were like "Hey great show" and we offered to buy him a drink and he was like alright so we did, then he sat at our table and there was like 6 of us. He drank a whiskey drink we got him, talked about how he's tripping on acid, called my friend Janine a Nazi because she was a shaved head Goth, and then asked us if we had weed. We gave him some weed - it was admittedly swag but all that was really available back then - and he was insulted, he was like "Man wtf is this shit? Seedy ass shit!" Then he got up and stormed off. SO anyways, he sucks.

Wrong side of heaven tho for FFDP, for redeeming quality. Probably their only one, but as a veteran with friends who went through what was depicted in the music video, I gotta give credit where credit is due

MIW writes music for 14 year old emo girls who think cutting is trendy

Mr. Nickelback has more bad lyrics than Mr. Trapt.

I was really sad to see ffdp in pure cringe. They are my top favorite band, i feel like you took their songs that are douchey and used that to represent them as a whole. Songs like remember everything and gone away are not douchey at all and they still have a ton like them. But, i do have to agree with the douche aspect. I thought the exact same thing before i listened to them as well. I just dont thing i deserves to be at the top.

Remember cringe doesn’t automatically mean trash

Surprised that Infant annihilator didn't make the list. I would have swapped them in for Belphegor (which I disagree with your take, they have a ton of great albums).

Ice nine and motionless might be cringe at times but damnit its also very fun

Slipknot is my favorite band but they're definitely VERY cringe, but fun.

I compare my enjoyment of 5FDP to my enjoyment of Godzilla movies: maybe not the most intelligent part of its medium, but a whole lot of fun, which is what I’m there for.

I have to disagree with you on slipknot.been one of my favorite bands since I was like 8 or 9, so I don't really get people calling them cringe. But that's just my opinion and I respect yours.

I love how over half my playlist resides in the pure cringe section, yeah I know it’s cringey and corny as shit but hey, it’s my cringey and corny shit

INK and FFDP happen to be 2 of my favourite bands. I really love the vibe of both. But I can agree with your statements. The music videos from INK are pretty cringe, but I do have a lot of fun watching them. This is why I love music, so many different styles and opinions. I don't get why people have to attack someone else's opinions.

Now that I think about it, Otep should have been added. Super cringe since smash the control machine. Generation doom…by far the cringiest album I have ever heard.

5FDP is definitely cringe, Bro-Rock/Douche Metal at it's absolute worst!

This popped up in my Dir en grey search and I had to do a double take. They’re nowhere near cringe haha. Japanese music royalty

One of slipknots most hated albums was actually the best it was experimental and the last song was just creepy and weird

i think a lot of yall missed the point of the video. cringe is not bad! i love INK and Motionless in White but fantasy metal lyrics and concept albums are nerdy by default. dont kill the cringe, kill the part of you that cringes.

Is slipknot cringe? As a big fan of them, absolutely. Cringier than bizkit? Aww hell naw

I know this video is meant to be pure rage bait but I can’t help but laugh at the irony of a “cringe” video coming from a guy wearing a skull mask and knock-off aviators.

This is something I'd expect 14 year old me to make a video on. Not surprised that the video is done by someone looking like a reddit moderator. That said, can anybody even disagree with TRAPT being at the top? I only knew of 2 songs from them, even when a kid. And when older it's one of those bands you forgot you ever followed and you just see the vocalist arguing with everybody over politics 24/7.

i don’t even like horror movies but i love ink. i can see why you think they are cringe but i personally don’t think it’s bad

The main positive I have about ffdp is when they do make a good song that song is really good. They’re like both extremes to me

I thought the dude on the right of the thumbnail looked really cringe, but hey turns out he's the host of the video. Good concept, but this video definitely will piss off lots of fans.

definitely agree with slipknot being cringe lol, I don't listen to them a ton but i love going to their concerts, however, their whole thing is basically just being the heaviest band that non metalheads listen to. All of the things they talk about being "sick" and "fucked up" is no different than literally any other metal band ever, but they make it such a big deal to the point where its annoying. Like dude, we know your life is a shitshow and how you have to deal with depression, drugs, anxiety, and what not, but literally every other metal band has dealt with the same exact thing, they just don't make it their whole personality. Corey taylor is a good vocalist and performer but it definitely makes me cringe when they pause the show every 2 songs so he can rant about how crazy they are and how crazy you have to be to like them

Am one with the cringe. Mostly listen to death metal and black metal, sometimes deathcore, but 8 years down the road I still love MIW. Very serendipitous that I should come across this video. I've been in the process of moving and didn't have much clean laundry this morning, so just threw on an old MIW shirt from 9th grade and a few of my fellow metalhead coworkers who are used to seeing me in Archspire, Death, TBDM, Behemoth, Cattle Decap shirts etc. were like, "dude what the fuck?" So I came clean, and I'm doing it again. I love Motionless In White.

Love that you used that Contrapoints clip, caught me super off guard

How is Slipknot cringe

Most people mad in the comments are defending their favorite bands and not being real with themselves. Limp Bizkit is one of my favorites and I enjoy a lot of MIW material but I can recognize how it can be cringy to people that arent the biggest fans of them. People need to remember that cringe doesnt mean bad, or at least from the mid cringe to mild cringe tier.

Okay i wouldn't think Sleep Token is cringe they just have an odd sound, Sleep Token is my FAVORITE band but I'll admit they're odd, also yeah some of the fanbase is a bit aggressive if you talk poorly of Sleep Token, I'm more focused of the musical aspect of Sleep Token rather than the cult aspect. I personally think their musicianship is brilliant with their mix of genres and very innovative sound, but it does get a bit odd sometimes. I highly recommend their music but not the fanbase

As someone who didn't grow up listening to metal, and in fact, listened solely to Johnny Cash or similar artists, and also Christian music growing up, which seems like the exact opposite of metal, as I've gotten older, I've also tiptoe'd my way towards metal slowly (and RAN away from anything "religious" except Skillet). I'm currently at a level where I listen to a lot of the "mainstream" metal like Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Motorhead and Disturbed (though mostly just select songs, like "The Unforgiven," "Carry On" and "Nightmare," "Ace of Spades," and "Down With The Sickness" and "The Sound of Silence") and watching videos like this kind of helps me figure out what I'd probably like more and what I probably wouldn't like. For example, an old friend of mine loves Ice Nine Kills, and I could see why, since they love horror movies like Saw and Chucky and IT, and I love those kinds of movies too. In fact, I have every Saw movie (minus Spiral), and my next franchise I'll be working on collecting is Child's Play/Chucky. But I don't see the appeal in listening to a song written from the perspective of the killer, and seems to take itself seriously. I mean, it just seems kinda lazy to me. I feel like anyone could write a song like that. I don't even know how to write music and I could probably write a whole song from the perspective of Jason or Freddy or something. It may not be good, but I could do it. Now, if it was something more like Social Mediasochist by Low Carb Comedy (aka Zoran "I edit for The Kill Count" Gvojic) where it's a parody of serial killers and the song is sung from the perspective of one, and not meant to be taken seriously, then I could see it being entertaining. But taken seriously like that? I don't get it. So I appreciate you for making videos like this, both for people who are already metalheads, and for those who are becoming one more and more over time. Music like this has started speaking to me a lot as I've gotten older and as I've gone through a lot. I'm almost 23 now and I can appreciate why people make this kind of music. Well, at least the GOOD bands anyway. Not that "cringe" means "bad," but from this video, it seems like PURE Cringe definitely does mean bad, and "VERY Cringe" seems to be riding the line a bit.

Idk if I support Slaughter, Motionless or Slipknot being on this list. Chris motionless and Corey Taylor's vocal ranges are insane and Alex the terribles guttrals are so demonic I wanna play doom just to slay some hell spawn.

Saw INK last night in Cincy, and I have to say that show was a freaking blast lol. The production/entertainment value was great.

I will still listen to Creatures on repeat tho 😭

That five finger death punch snippet was Celestial level cringe

Hell nah, you lost me at ice nine kills and motionless in white

Eh I still love ink, miw they’re songs hit way too hard for me the very first time I listened to both bands I could tell they were gonna be in my daily life

I mean c'mon. Motionless in White and ice nine kills? I can't understand this logic. Especially with motionless in white. U re talking about few verses. What about songs like eternally yours, legacy, another life, masterpiece, cyberhex, unstoppable and many more? C'mon I'm really sad about that cuz I have listened to many of their songs and mostly there are love songs, songs typically based on motivation etc. Examples of lyrics: "I will justify this pain I will live another day I will fight to earn my place I will be unstoppable Strength inside my veins As I try to break these chains Only honor will remain I will be unstoppable" - unstoppable "I'm ready to bury all of my bones I'm ready to lie but say that I won't So tell me your secrets And join me in pieces To rot in this garden made of stones Eternally yours" - eternally yours "So everybody Stand up, firsts up, never gonna give up I'm lightning, no fear just adrenaline Jet black, heart attack, thunder for the soundtrack" - legacy So yeah, that's my opinion. Miw is not that cringe. Ofc, there are cringe songs from them, but there's literally a few

I think MIW is the cringiest band ever. Seeing them live it’s nothing but highschool kids on their phones. The backup dancers and the theatrical aspect made me honestly miserable. I honestly enjoyed them before I saw them live. Attila is right there with them .

As much as i like miw i gotta admit theyve got some cringiness.

Gonna be pissed if Kid Rock isn’t in PURE cringe.

Oh Boy. Atilla. With beautiful songs like ""Callout 2"" where the word 'Fuck' is mentioned 48 times, calling out everyone he dissed on twitter, and making a T-shirt of it. With several celebreties and singers: LoganPaul, Ricegum, Bhad Bhabie and so many more. Definitly a band where insecurities shine like the sun. And I'd put them at *very* cringe.

I'll fully admit with no shame to still loving all the scene-core and crunk-core silliness of the Myspace era, but something about Motionless in White just feels so fake. Every album has 4 or 5 songs that sound like a complete rip off of other bands, and many of them have stolen lyrics. It's like there is no identity to that band, just an amalgamation of other band's ideas done in a bargain bin fashion, so I think they deserve their spot for that reason.

Huh? None of these bands (that I've watched so far) are cringy at all! Ice nine Kills is such a groovy band- it's actually my favorite band ever. Each band has it's own element which makes it special and unique in their own ways. Please think before you upload

As a die hard slipknot fan I think they should be knocked down just one tier. They are cringe, but it's no denying they are fun. The masks suits it's just pure fun. Sometimes cheesy lyrics and they can be very on the nose but I love em. I respect ur opinion tho. I'm young, my opinion may change but as of right now they are cringe, but fun!

Nah. FFDP is actually not that cringe. Wrong side of heaven, afterlife, gone away, I refuse, a little bit off, bad company, remember everything, wash it all away, and many others are beautiful. The fact that disturbed isn’t on here says a lot.

Hilarious are the slipknot, etc. fans who don’t get how their faves are cringey. The masses and their tastes are ultimate cringe while they make fun of others. “Oh yeah, well they win awards and make millions so that proves their awesome!” Awards, halls of fame, music charts and those who value that stuff are the cringiest people on Earth. Ignorance is bliss.

Yeah with ice nine they’re very cringe but that’s why I like them. They’re self aware and they don’t take themselves that seriously. The songs are fun and you can just laugh with them

Not into any of these bands Lol. Yeah FFDP tries too hard to give off this tough guy act. Slipknot I used to like but they fell of for me.

I am a 60 year old guitar player who plays drone-doom. I am pretty sure that puts me way up the Cringe Scale. Oh, I've heard FFDP referred to as "Military Wives Metal."

Marylin Manson should have been put on here, and at pure cringe level.

The trouble with Sleep Token is they’re so fucking good. Like…the video of Blood Sport with a dude in a weird mask pouring his heart out is objectively cringe, but his vocal delivery is so incredible!

I knew Psycho Sinner AKA Psycho sexual was going to be on the very top of the list. I recall a moment listening to one of the songs on the fucking radio. yes they played a psychosexual song on the radio when his album came out. I was just laughing at how bad it was, sonically, and actually. it was so bad. since then the radio station never played that song again
