I base my day on how some of my favorite bands land on Finns compass.

"smart people pretending to be stupid" is one of my favorite archetypes. It takes a lot of clever thought to make genuinely hilarious yet dumb entertainment

Fred durst is playing jazz while everyone else is playing the kazoo.

As a data scientist in a tech company, I can tell you medieval literature is harder than what we do.

never stop doing the "here's the thing" i laugh every time

The lyricism of Bloodhound Gang is what brings me back every time

The 5FDP fan description was money. I got a buddy that is a typical Chad, with a lifted Super Duty, with a wife & 3 kids, that runs construction, that is HAPPY AF. And he forwards me links to 5FDP videos when he's FEELING especially Chad-like.

The Andy black “here’s the thing” cut always cracks me up

I think I’m not a dumb-dumb and my ex wasn’t stupid, but I was deployed to Bosnia and sad I couldn’t be home for a bloodhound gang concert so my prego ex went for me and got me a peepee/poopoo music shirt. I loved it.

My brother was reading HTML textbooks at age 11 and loves five finger death punch. He's 40 now, a genius, married, rich, and a loveable nerd.

Finn's axis list videos are underrated

Smashing prime Britney Spears is such a flex. Damn.

Saw a guy at a Megadeth/FFDP show in Virginia with a sticker on his beat up truck that had the confederate flag with the text “fighting terrorism since 1861”

Going to see TooL on Saturday. Hopefully MJK will put me in an arm-bar.

Tool is music for people that say "actually the gulags had fantastic healthcare and education systems"

Mee watching new Finn Mckenty videos in the morning at work gives me the nostalgia of being late to school and listening to bob and tom with my mom on the way there

“The smarter you think you are, the dumber you actually are”. Just perfectly described media and politicians

I’m 37 in no-slip black sneakers I close my shift at fast food literally to Kottonmouth, CC and Bloodhound Gang

My sister’s husband is a ffdp fan and he is everything you described. He’s in the navy, has a house, and is starting a family. He may not be educated but he is winning and that’s what matters.

Remeber Lisa Simpson's graph? Intelligence and happiness are mutually exclusive....

My buddies band’s main influence is weezer, there’s a geologist, an aerospace engineer, and a therapist in his band.

As a die-hard Tool fan, I want everyone to know that “I love lamp.”

Best thing about these videos is there is people who laugh off the butthhurt warning thinking they're above being offended. Then come to the comments absolutely fuming.

If you sold Finn's Butt Balm as merch, I'd buy it.

Interesting philosophical question…is it better to be a happy idiot in the matrix or a tortured and miserable intellectual? I think if you’re smart enough, you recognize that doing to some dumb things, some of the time, adds balance to a life and is actually the smarter choice. Being perpetually steeped in misery is a mental mistake. So it’s ultimately better to be smart if one is emotionally stable.

I had a friend who was obsessed with Tool, but he was an absolute pain to talk to because he would constantly throw in as many misused big/abstract words as he could into every sentence that came out of his mouth. True smart people can say a lot with so little. 👀🧐

The tool fan... that was me, I was the "misunderstood" tool fan. Thought I was onto something there. What a tool.

Jesus, that thumbnail! You look like you actually ARE a member of the Bloodhound Gang.🤣🤣

I enjoy music but wouldn't call myself a fan, if a band goes in a direction I don't like I just move on to something else.

Tool fans are the Rick and Morty fans of music

I think the smartest people are the ones who are the most miserable. The FFDP fans aren't necessarily smart, but they are probably capable and content, which is a good place to be.

If someone says “here’s the thing” in my life I’ll repeat it back like that clip. I wish more people knew about that clip that way I didn’t feel like an idiot every time I say it. 😂

I think it was Loudwire that posted an article the other day titled "Why Tool's Maynard James Keenan sings from behind the stage." I figured it's pretty simple - he hates Tool fans, and the audience is full of them...

I remember watching an interview with Wes and he was wearing a striped polo shirt which made him look like a dork. So my brother and I call him Office Max lol.

Kottonmouth Kings but no Insane Clown Posse?

Dream theater and Gwar need their seat at the dumb fan table too

@19:08 that's me. I don't do drugs but I understand the feeling of wanting to shut all my thoughts up for a moment cause when I overthink too much and it makes it hard to be happy. But when I underthink it can lead to me ending up in bad situations. So i overthink so I can be prepared for anything but it results in at times having a very pessimistic outlook on life

You hit the nail in the coffin with the Yung Lean mention. “Gatorade” and “Kyoto” was always on repeat back in 2014.

Just to annoy you I'll say that I've started to listen to Funeral Doom and I enjoy it.

This is the third time I've told YT to stop recommending you.

The dunning kruger effect is when you have limited knowledge on a topic but think you’re an expert. So tool fans think listening to smart music makes them smart. It’s like reading a Wikipedia page about music theory and then thinking you’re a music genius.

Oh! "Sit this one out"?!?! Not cool bro. How am I supposed to SIT on my sour butt?!?!

1:05 W Disclaimer.

Brad "daddy" X from kottonmouth kings after leaving the band, most people said he barely even smoked weed.

Bloodhound gang put out that album hefty fine it was pretty cool the best part is when dude is in the bathroom and he's like on an answering machine like ''dude I'm in the bathroom, so this message is probably going to sound like shit" lol then you hear him shitting lol

The lesson here is... ignorance is bliss

I think I good rival for tool on the “Smart music for dumb fans” is Lamb of God. Incredible writing and lyrics, fantastic instrumental work all wasted on a bunch of crayon eating caveman.

It's not easy being a limp bizkit fan.

Tool's music is too intellectual for their fanbase to actually understand

As an Iced Earth fan, i am disappointed at the lack of representation. We deserve a list of our own.

19:05 Did Finn just tell me I'm not a drug addict I'm just too smart.

We called the fist bump/blowup combo "potatoes/fries". The fist bump is the potatoes, and when they blow up, they become fries.

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.

just attended a 5fdp concert. the amount of normies and normie grills within the audience was crazy high!

Thank you Finn. This made me feel a lot better about being a 39 yo dude that still listens to the Bloodhound Gang from time to time. I bought a turntable and a decent stereo earlier this year and one of the first records I got was their best of album "Show Us Your Tits", after remembering, once again, how many absolute bangers they had in the good old days of my teenage years. And in the end you told me what my teachers used to tell my parents. That I'm a different kind of smart.

you haven’t given us a HERES THE THING in a few videos now, we’ve missed them mate.

Finn: 'I'm burning out, my content is stale and my audience hates me.' Also Finn: 'What I should do is put out 22 videos this month.'

Even Maynard in Lateralus give a message to the insufferable fans

"Try Finn's Butt Balm! In original, and our new scents: hard-core and nu metal."

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.

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.

Cannibal is double dumb, but 5FDP isn't? Lmao you've lost it. 5FDP is some of the most cringe music and fans ever...."I can really relate to Ivan's super hard life. He gets me. My wife cheated on me and people don't understand why I'm an alcoholic...life is SO hard" 🙄

At this point you should hand the mic to your wife. And let's face it, not every man (or woman) is lucky enough to find a wife (or husband) 15 years younger than them with an extended family to care for them. I'm not admonishing you Finn, but I don't fully approve of your criticisms of the punk scene. They are (were) there because, just like you, they had no one to turn to in their darkest hour. It's called a community, albeit one with few positive reinforcements. As a former metalcore enthusiast with knowledge of a lot of rock scenes (including Britpop), there's a boat load of scenes around the world. Plus their songs revolve topics outside of the punk rock realm. They include: -War in Vietnam -Modern China -Hikokomori in Japan -The new rich in Eastern Europe -The Nouveau riche in South Korea -Fentanyl made in China -Political prisoners in Hong Kong -Depopulation -Life in southeast Asia -Family breakdown -Uglification of modern architecture

I know one tool fan and he is exactly that. Lives at home with his parents plays video games all day and thinks he’s a misunderstood comedic genius (he does stand up) one of the most delusional people I’ve ever met.

But Finns Butt Balm only makes the burning worse😂😂This was hilarious 😂

Will Finns butt balm be available soon on a subscription? I don't want to have to keep re-ordering.

I'm transverse and identify as a toxic fan 0:13

the twitch fade-out killed me lmaooo 😭

@FinnMckentyPRMBA what are the tariffs for your coaching program and is there a way to offer it as a gift?

As a Tool AND deeeeply closeted Limp Bizkit fan, my butt is crying a blackened blood red river of tears. Love you Finn🤘🏽

Buckcherry would have definitely been lower left

Called out! I wear no brand black slipons, Have my learners license, work at EB games and do the art thing😅

There's another you, another me, another Wes Bordland, and another Banana.

Reject intelligence, embrace himbo.

The dumbest fans might be the fans of content creators that make "dumbest fans lists"

I’m surprised Finn didn’t do ICP. Dumb music, dumb fans, but ICP are brilliant Businessmen.

I say this as a huge metal fan Metal by in large is cringe. The lyrics of metal tends to be utter cringe. Hence why I don't get why certain metal fans bash LB and Nu Metal as a whole for it's cringe lyrics..... 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. Their music is just "Here is a dumb song we made for fun..", Metal is cringe in of itself.

I think most fans of LB who are responsible adults with jobs and drug free urine (cannabis excluded), like LB because we know it’s all a joke. It’s called “trolling” these days. Plus, I know the drummers sister so, I guess from what she says Fred is actually down to earth. He’s the guy at the cookout making people laugh in mandals, cargos, and a pink flamingo 😂. He is a Florida man after all.

Five Finger Death Punch and Sleep Token fans fighting over who gets to eat the crayons.

Looking for a song! Flute drop in chorus, pop punk band with ladies in video, I think playing paintball.

Something I love is whenever Finn does these and there's always one extremely honest person in the comments going, "Yeah, that's fair" about their favorite band.

Can't find a link for the butt balm

I believe those fans probably work at Walmart not McDonald'$ !!!! 7:09

I feel like Bloodhound Gang counts as Dumb Smart music for Smart People 🙌 Their musical is intentionally dumb, but incredibly well written

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.

Saw title… never clicked anything faster 🤣🤣

indie cat mom playing cards of humanity killed me

Where would you rank Yuno Miles?

Cannibal corpses lyrics may be dumb, but those instrumentals are face melting

refuse to believe anyone wearing a ‘one two fuck you’ shirt is as smart as a periphery fan

I just saw the thumbnail, not watched the video... dumbest by far is 5fdp, a7x, shinedown, breaking Benjamin, nickelback, buckcherry... or are they all the same?

I honestly never gave the brandless black shoes in death metal that much thought. First I thought a lot looked cool, and second, I thought it was so no brand would show up and look lame/normie/sport fan-y. I myself wore DCs and others that particularly didn't show the brand and wete black, as I think black is the only acceptable color for shoewear, and brands shouldn't be shown Because I don't advertise that shit, I care about the quality and comfort (which means I had cheap shoes, middle of the ground shoes, as well as very expensive shoes).

Tool fans are people that brag about how they could totally have finished university if they wanted to, but work at McDonalds

The smart Tool fans don't go to their shows, they stay in their bedrooms

I’m a huge Tool fan but even I get embarrassed by a lot of the “fanbase” & their ignorance 🤦🏻‍♀️

There's two types of TOOL fans. The music nerd who knows all their time modulations by heart, plays bass with the mids way too high, and is the biggest Danny Carey rider. The other kind is Maynard fans, who smoke DMT like it's cigarettes and want to talk to you about opening your third eye, and they like to say A Perfect Circle is better but after the 4th gram of mushrooms they can't distinguish between the two.

Gotta say, “Say It Ain’t So” is way deeper than my mid-90’s brain gave it credit for.

I seen him in Santa Cruz auditorium the high school they opened up for Primus 5:56 in early 90ds 6:35
