The thirst for metal heads came from Stranger Things, where one of the lead characters/heroes was an 80’s style metal head/hesher. All the girls were crushing on him. This is my theory.

As an ex hair stylist, the metal guys with the long hair had the HEALTHIEST and most shiny hair ever! When I quit, I let my own hair go natural, and now I have locks that rival all the early thrash metal dudes. Pure inspiration.😂

Oh Drowning Pool is Disturbed now…

You're talking about the amazingly effective and relatively new product NAR-CRINGE "For when you shudder and start to stutter"

Opal in Sky is actually a really good channel and they make nice music

I've had my cringe vaccine, but I may need several boosters after this

As a dude, girls complement my hair a lot

No one whose favourite band is Mayhem has ever been with a girl that looks like any of the three shown. Or any girl. Or any person. They're barely themselves.

"I feel like most metalheads look like Aileen wournos". LMAO

You said the first video was disturbed... It was. Drowning pool....😂

The girls around the first guy. 😂 It's a sausage fest in reality. If it cut to an overbearing mother and jock sister it would be accurate.

I have a story regarding the "metalhead/emo mixup." I was grabbing food at my college's cafeteria a few weeks ago, and I was just sitting in there waiting for my next class. This table of girls next to me were talking about some guy that I think one of them was kind of into, but she seemed kind of skeptical about him. So one of the other girls goes, "Ohh no, is he emo?", looks at me and says, "... like him?" It was such a funny thing, because I literally was sitting at my table listening to Björk with a big smile on my face (probably because I had just talked to a much nicer girl before this happened), and I just had on jeans and a black shirt. Now, obviously, I'm no longer a True Metalhead because I should have been absolutely seething over that comment, but instead I took the poser route of laughing about it and moving on with my day, lmao

Finn's cap grants him a cringe immunity.

Making fun of guys for being short is such an ancient thing women have been doing forever and it's never okay... It's pretty easy to say when you're not short but it's one thing that you absolutely CANNOT change, and i am sick of it. I can't believe someone would say "it's about time" someone treats short guys like they're worse because of how they were born...

12:06 did Finn just repost another picture of himself at age 19?

The fact that the description of the "cringe meter" was, in itself, extremely cringy.....is a hilarious irony :). I need a compilation of youtubers telling me how to youtube as well :P

OpalInSky videos are great! My type of satire

I lived in LA during the 2000s emo scene and they all looked like this. It got me into the scene.

Women that hate on short guys can’t cry when those same men hate on you for being overweight. Goes both ways.

@17:12 yo this is so true the fitness community is somehow both the most uplifting and also most insanely toxic at the same time its is amazing honestly.

I think I may be the only metalhead that actually loves country music (pre 2000 country music before it went over-the-top poppy)

19:03 Finn, YOU are literally that one guy when you try embarrassingly to simp for all women on the internet.

Calling Drowning Pool "Disturbed" is such a Finn thing to do, you people dont even realize he did that on purpose. This entire video, he talks about how funny it is to intentionally trigger Metalheads, & here we are. It's the "Radiohead is overrated" comment section all over again 😅

Finn is too nice, we need more toxicity in the metal world

I accidentally mixed up my cringe narcan and regular narcan. The other day someone tried to save me from dying, but instead all of the cringe removed from my body, so I just looked really cool instead of coming back to life.

The slam chick knew what was up

In Australia uploaded 35 seconds ago lol is that early at 11:44pm 🤣😭

0:45 Papa Finn *NEVER* pulls out!

I’m a civilized metalhead. I listen to anything from NAILS to Simon & Garfunkel, but I do hate Country.

Where ever this thirst for metal guys is happening, I'm clearly in the wrong place. *sadge*

I enjoy metal & country music. I was raised on country & classic rock then I middle school got into metal.

It’s actually a parody of drowning pools bodies in moms 1972 rumpuse room 😂😂😂

But powerlifting meme pages are savage

Well as a metalhead weight lifting nerd 😂😂😂 I have to say that how is lifting weights and listening to metal a new concept? It's what pumps us up for the gym. When I was a kid in the 90s I thought this was a standard. I was wrong?

Imagine these poor guys minding their own business that became the faces of 2010 meme formats

I'm a metalhead and my dad is a professional jazz musician. This chick working at a chiropractor's office said I looked like I listened to jazz. I don't know what that meant exactly, but I was flattered it wasn't metal lol.

I believe it's a parody of let the bodies hit the floor by Drowning Pool, not Disturbed. Easy thing to mess up though.

I used to compete in powerlifting, like 20 years ago. The playlist on the gym’s cd player was usually some of the best ignorant ass deathcore, on a burned cd.

10:14 the thing that triggers me the most is when people refer to the dennys grand slam as "metal". Its always some tiktok metal kid trying to flex the ONE thing we have as hardcore fans

"Did you just... Misgenre me??!!!" TRIGGERED!

In my local scene the new trend for girls is to look kvlt and elitist. They'll always wear the same blasphemy, mortician, possessed, hellhammer shirts

Punks with black scalps from using soap to pole spike their hair and never bothering to wash it out. They were the days.

Nobody still thinks that metal fans worship satan. Umm buddy a lot of old people I know and also my mom would disagree with you on that. Also Opal and Sky is great but I do love Country music.

3:35 😂 I have smelled a metal head before. He had poor hygiene, his room was a horror scene, he had trash everywhere around his bed, dirty laundry all on his dressers, huge holes in his walls, and guns and whips as a decor for his bedroom too. He also gaslighted me and manipulated me into believing a bunch of nonsense 🤦‍♀️ the first time I ever hung out at his place we watched Star Wars, but he tried to tell me we watched Scream. 😂

Nah I’m a metal head and I love country, I hate most rap. Gate keeping is lame I don’t care for any of those bands except Megadeth Dave deserves some respect. That’s why I dislike a lot of the younger generations. They lack respect for real talent.

Not to butt in, but that Lakers hat goes so damn hard with the orange and camo colorway.

That last guy really did have great hair tho. I remember watching a power metal band at a small bar gig, and I was standing behind this wall of dudes headbanging and windmilling, their heir kept whipping me in the face and it smelled fantastic. At least the power metal homies mind their hygiene lol

Opal in sky actually make really funny shorts

what girl wouldnt want a dude that has greasy long hair, dirt under his fingernails and is equiped with a band tee that hes wearing for 10 days straight Hubbah hubbah 😍

Geiger counters for radiation. McKenty counters for cringe.

the cringiest thing about this entire building is mistaking Disturbed for Drowning pool.........smh

Oh yeah metalheads are so deluded into thinking they scare normies with their music and looks, in reality no one cares and everybody knows they're turbo nerds.

Two things 1. Finn mentioning hardstyle made my day 2. That guys shuffling, not "hardstyle dancing lmao

I got some narcan at the methadone clinic once. Save someone's life and they get pissed at you for ruining their high. The insanity of addiction.

Kip Winger- The original and only hot metal dude

hello Finn, I’m a woman and I don’t need a thirst over the metalhead guy cause I am the metalhead😍😍

Your deffo correct about something being cringe. This whole ass 20 minute video. If pop and or country is your first recommendation as alternative things to listen to. Im taking aux cable and playlist privileges from you

As a physical therapist, 16:15 hits hard. I'm super excited that more people are getting in exercise/lifting, but gotdam I feel her. Improper technique is how I fucked my neck up permanently, which has left me w/ lifelong chronic pain. At the same time, you're super right about insufferable fitness choads. Used to be one and eventually learned what "unsolicited advice" is. Was a twat myself, sadly, but learned.

6:25 looks like Gavin's just having fun and taking the piss. I'd not take it seriously.

Cringe is so strong that the opiate overdose seems like the way to go (not serious)

As a cute metal guy, the only normie attention I get is from old black ladies complementing my hair. Not a single baddie in sight. I ain’t complaining.

I was in high school around 2008-2010 and there actually were girls looking exactly like the one in 5:00 also they were really unpleasant people

It's weird that some metalheads are so concerned with what "normies" think of metalheads. I don't think that they think of metalheads enough to even form an opinion.

man, i am sorry that you've had such bad experiences with metal heads. we all aren't the same.

The "people don't understand hygiene" thing is not exclusive to metap though....Ever been to a Crust-Punk gig? Jesus Christ my nostrils.

The metal elitist girl's video basically said: "If you listen to good music, stay the fuck away from me" Since when was Nirvana not ~real~ music? Tik Tok is a cesspool

Psychostick is amazing!

Well....my boss anytime he hears my music, he thinks he's being funny by screaming, "I love Satan!!". Sooooo... I don't think that myth has died just yet. 😅🙃

15:35 Why would I listen to country when folk music exists? Everything good about country music is in folk music but most of what suck about it isn't.

17:25 "power metal", "powerlifting" - well of course metalheads are into lifting weights, it is literally in the name!

Talking about heights: I remember a couple who were both into Metal. She was like way over 1.80 metres while her boyfriend was barely 1.60 metres. It was weird.

Not really a metal head myself more of a casual listener. I have to disagree on the point about no one thinking metal is satanic. I’m Latino and I have heard this often from others in the Latino community. Doesn’t really matter what the lyrics are they just hear the vocals and think it’s demonic.They say stuff like “oh you listen to that devil shit?” Ironically these people usually listen to music about love of money, sex, and murder as if that isn’t satanic. I think there are exceptions from metal heads hating country and that is metal heads that grew up in the south. I’m from Texas and there is huge metal scene down here and a lot of them love country. My step brother is a drummer in a deathcore band and I’ve seen him play in cowboy boots 😂

No guys, we cannot let women out-gatekeep us! We must not back down!

IQ of metalheads is unpredictable in my experience. That boy could grow up to be a researcher or be the subject of the research.

That's a genius idea Finn. "I'll be damned, we're moving forward" 😂😂😂

Oh god, did Finn take a turn for the condescending feminist?

To be fair country fans are just as bad as metal fans, cmt just made a post on instagram about HARDY and the country fans were pissed cause it’s “not country” 😂

@10:34 Someone I know recently said metallica and other thrash bands are punk and not metal, I told him careful saying that around metalheads some will get very angry.

I know the girl of the first TikTok... that's so unexpected and weird. Internet's a small place.

Oh man if only tik tom existed 10 years ago… I was always called out for wearing a slayer or Iron Maiden or panterA or whatever fucking band tee it was, my thing was explaining the band so in depth that they wouldn’t even reply back but these chicks are even better ❤

I was kinda sad to see my boys Opal In Sky in the thumbnail, love those guys, great music as well

The sequence about “misgenring” a metal head made me realised I was getting triggered about being misgenred as an emo when I was a teen metal head waaaaaaaay before it was cool to be triggered for being misgendered. Definitely a phase

13:20 nobody in the world in 2024 thinks that metalheads are hardcore enough to be satanic

Soon we'll be in a world where girls will be going up to men with a band shirt on, and ask them to "name 3 songs". And you know what, they deserve it.

It's kind of strange too as yes I've seen these metal girls that are crusty believe me😂😂 But a lot of them are what you see in TikTok around I've dated a few of them back in the day I'm old now but yeah maybe we were just lucky over here in East Haven And considering the fact I was very shallow there's no way I was just looking through rose-colored glasses.. This might be the cringiest thing I've ever typed but Hey it's The truth

the metalheads had to get into power lifting and bjj. they got tired of getting beat up at the hardcore shows

when i think about metal tiktok is the last place i think of to go for anything metal

Geiger counter measures radiation. Galger counter measures cringe.

PSA metal guys WILL tie you to a chair and force you to watch all the lord of the rings movies with only monster energy for hydration

In school i was rly into this girl she wore a lot of black makeup and plaid pants or pants with a lot of zippers and suspenders not on her shoulders. Was fascinated with her. Hung out some an then we just split ways when i left that school. Idk if she was scene or what but its always been a type for me ever since her.

Gotta copywrite the GnarCan as an energy drink 😅

There are things that AREN'T cringe af on TikTok?

I was really into Underground Djs and Hip Hop. We had a big underground scene, and I was going to battles trying to make a name for my young self. But when I went home and no one could see me, I'd secretly listen to Bolthrower.

When will grandpa Finn talk about SuboxoneXcore?

You can not do Opal in Sky like that

Disturbed - Bodies

TikTok is cringe. Period. Except for B. Dylan Hollis. B. Dylan Hollis is a Living National Treasure.

Ugh those scene kids pics makes me think back to when I listened to Brokencyde 😂😂. Real og's will remember Brokencyde lmao.

Bold of a lot of these girls to assume that these metalhead guys are even into girls

I remember this scene girl who was *SO* hot back in the day, and actually seemed to be interested in me - we chatted a lot late into the night, hung out a few times, etc. I ended up with a ticket for a show I wasn’t gonna be able to make and offered it to her, she comes over to pick it up - sans makeup and hair. That was the end of my interest in scene girls, full stop. 10-or-so years later, I’m married to a country girl. 😂
