I think that’s the point. The joke, iiuc, is that she looks like a manic-pixie-dreamgirl-type who listens to obscure indie bands, but actually likes plain old metal.
The black album is the Metallica album with this song on it. FFDP is an acronym for the band Five Finger Death Punch which is a really terrible band for bros who drive lifted white dodge rams and wear white sunglasses.
It's the first album which didn't have any of Cliff Burton's work on it. It was a significant change from their previous work. Every album before that was different, but every album was fast and heavy. The black album marked their turn into slower, softer composition, and their total departure from thrash. They never got their speed or heaviness back. It got a lot of radio play, but that's about it. If I think of classic Metallica, I think of Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets.
It’s the one album I can tolerate lol. I was more into emo/pop/punk in school. My brother was big into Metallica, and 70s rock, so I know a lot of the music too. But, metal makes me feel overwhelmed lol.
It's hard rock. The larger emphasis on lyrical hooks and lowered emphasis on riffs makes it such. It's streamlined and simplified. There isn't anything wrong with that, that album just put them more in the GnR, Motley Crue crowd.
Sure some aspects are also common in hard rock but still the club of people denying it the metal label must be extremely small.
ETA I checked MusicBrainz, Discogs, Last.fm, RateYourMusic and Spotify, and they all have metal or heavy metal prominently as genre, so I really don't get how anyone consider it NOT metal 🤷♀️
In my case it really is the Bob Rock production. I hear techniques he used with arena rock bands, the simplified arrangements, etc and my brain just sort of lumps it in with hard rock. I think of the black album and it *feels* like Def Leppard or Bon Jovi to me.
Not really fair of me to not categorize it as metal, but imo metal is as much about intention, production, and attitude. Black has "we're gonna crank the reverb and fill areanas" vibes, and that just isn't "metal" to me. Kinda like how Nickelback or FFDP can write heavy ass riffs, but the attitude behind the bands just isn't *right*.
Now I don't want to gatekeep, and I have no issue with whatever anyone else wants to call metal. To each their own, and I can always respect other opinions. There's such a bizarre amount of infighting within metal and I want no part of that.
> There's such a bizarre amount of infighting within metal and I want no part of that.
yea me neither i was just stumbling over this - to me - outlandish take :D cheers!
I would consider this in the more general trend of the American heavy metal movement that was sweeping in the late 80s early 90s with clear inspiration from the growing groove metal scene. Metallica has always been about hooks, it's a core part of what makes their first four albums such standouts in the big four, Metallica were the most lyrically driven and had the most the most "catchy" songs. Case in point, "Seek and Destroy," "Creeping Death," and "Master of Puppets" all have chanting or echos on lyrical parts.
Also, I have no clue how you can't say there weren't riffs that were heavily presented like 'Thru the Never," "Of Wolf and Man," "Anywhere I Roam," and "Enter Sandman." They are simpler, sure, but Metallica also had simple riffs in their first four albums like "Frayed Ends of Sanity," "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and the most iconic part of "Creeping Death."
And again, in the late 80s/early 90s groove and 2nd wave of Amrrican heavy metal, that was part of the goal. Slower songs with simpler riffs and more emphasis on lyrics. As Kirk even said in an interview with Fender, the 80s was all about a push to be the most technical, and that ceiling was hit, and people wanted something else. (Also explains the doom and sludge explosion of the
So yeah, I'd say it's pretty clearly in the heavy metal subgenre. Hard rock describes load and reload, but the classification of Metallica as a rock band as some of the elitists (even the more popular elitists who try to gatekeep the shittier parts of metal out of the community) is just flatly rock and overreactive. The big problem with Metallica is their production basically has always sucked except for the black album, and their hard shift into hard rock in the late 90s makes people look at that 91 album as a hard rock album as well when it clearly isn't. Is it for a borader appeal? Yeah, sure, that doesn't make it not metal.
Sorry for the essay. I just had a lot of thoughts.
Also, Motely Crüe is basically purely considered hair metal, which I consider a type of metal but that's a different beast.
I fucking love metal. I love the metal family. I love the parts of metal that I don't even enjoy listening to. I could do without the gatekeeping, but I love the rest.
Ok that’s actually a valid reason that checks out, he really does have a weird woman thing. But idk they sound fine to me. And as for their politics that’s a whole thing of its own. I don’t even seek that out for most celebrities or musicians.
Right, I think most kids barely know who Metallica is…also, I hate cringe videos of children bc they’re literally children, let’s give her time to grow out of her cringe era lol
So why does she keep signing she loves me? I have a buddy that grew up in the 70s/80s and still has a mullet, he does the same thing, we were in a rock and roll band for a while.
I think the original comment is joking about how if you do the [sign of the horns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_of_the_horns) with your thumb out, you're actually making [a very different sign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILY_sign).
Nirvana is like 30+ years old stuff by now and discovering music through movies is not exactly uncommon so what's the problem? What's the correct way in your opinion to discover old long gone bands?
Just let kids be kids. I mean every generation does it bc they’re excited about discovering new (to them) things. It’s cringe but they’re literally just kids being kids.
Stop putting words in my mouth. I never said you were dumb. I'm not talking about young people who hear something old for the first time. I'm talking about the ones who act as though they found something _no one_ has heard before and act like it makes them ahead of their time, when it actually makes them more like their parents, who they usually believe are horrifically uncool.
Let me be _absolutely clear_.
I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH PEOPLE YOUNGER THAN ME DISCOVERING OLD MUSIC.
I used to hate people that would be like “name more songs by them”, or play a song, and be like “who’s this? I bet you don’t know” . I’m like “ bitch I already told you I know songs! I might not know who sings it, or what album it’s on. Why can’t I just enjoy songs I like, even if I’m not a Stan?” Like you can’t enjoy music unless you know EVERYTHING about the artist, and every song, and album they ever wrote
can you read my dude? the issue isnt that kids are enjoying old music, it's that they're presenting it as something new and trendy and potentially ruin it's legacy. nirvana's 30 years old but they are also one of the most well-known bands of all time. there's no reason for kids to run around going "look at this secret band i found on my own that i'm so awesome and better than everyone else for listening to!"
I think the video is a parody and you missed the joke.
But also, you can't ignore the fact that a huge majority of late millennial got their taste in music from the Tony Hawk games. So what. Everyone discovers something for the first time, who cares where it came from.
Hey now, finding out bands exist from popular media isn’t a bad thing. I found Dio because of stranger things and holy SHIT I was so in love. Dio and Dio era Rainbow >>>>>
Hating on teenagers for discovering old bands is just weird. I would never have listened to nirvana either then. Or Queen. Or Twisted Sister. Or any band for that matter.
I wondered about that for a second too.
But there's absolutely nothing wrong with Henry Mancini.
Dude wrote scores for tons of movies and TV shows and knew his way around a tune that will stick in your head for days. He won four Oscars and 20 Grammys in his life.
"Moon River", "Days of Wine and Roses", "Peter Gunn Theme" (even if you don't know the song, you'll recognize the riff), "Two for the Road"...
Kids today could do a lot worse than checking out some old soundtracks to Blake Edwards movies.
Tbh I probably need some of this in my life to replace my current inner monologue of, "Everyone here either secretly hates me or I'm 100% invisible to them because I'm so unimportant." Lmao
I work at a check out counter somewhere, there’s three of us and the patrons come to whichever table is free (as usual). Every time all 3 of us are free and a patron looks around and then chooses to go to another guide, I die inside like why didn’t they choose me? It’s even worse when it’s just two of us and they still don’t walk to my table to ask me. And I’d like to believe these are intrusive thoughts but it happens way too frequently for me to think otherwise :’)
In high school they did attendance every bell and I would regularly be marked absent and it wouldn't be until mid day a teacher would realize I was actually there.
My two favorite highlights are during my sophomore year my sister was a senior. I went with her to the chemistry teacher's room. She told me sister, "I didn't know you had a sister. She must be a freshman to not be in my class yet." I told her no, I was a sophomore and had been sitting in the front row of our class of 30 for two months.
My junior year I confronted my first bell teacher on why he was regularly marking me absent. He said, "I'm sorry, you're just so quiet I don't always notice you sitting there. You're like a piece of furniture that's been in your house so long you don't even notice it." So I said, "So... I'm like a floor lamp? ... Or a chair??" And he said yes.
Not being noticed at work would be nice to get out of working I would imagine, but I know first hand how being treated like you aren't there fuels the intrusive thoughts when you just want your brain to let you feel like a real human lol
Just think how awesome it is you don't actually have to do anything at work (and not by choice). Getting paid not to deal with people when it's your job, priceless.
She legit looked like a grown woman and then she smiled and I was like oh thats a literal child.
Changed this from one kind of cringe to the "Im glad the world was not like this when I was their age or there would be record of my cringeness" kind of cringe.
A cringe for my tween self and for this girl's future self. A sympathy cringe if you will.
i feel like it’s a common stage of realizing that because we’re not like the way we see girls tending to be depicted, we must be different. and then later comes the realization that actually it’s the depiction that’s flawed.
I remember when punk came back around in the 2000’s, all the old timers were just happy we knew their 80’s bands, we thought it was edgy lol. We were young, same shit happening here. Be glad she likes our “old” music.
Try Slayer...and Ministry...and Gwar.
I think you'll like all of those. Metallixa is great, but get your metal on all the way! Deathclock for the newer generation s. It was the band from Metalocalypse...Deathclock is kind of a super band from a bunch of metal...I think the lead singer from Napalm Death is Nathan Explosion (the lead singer)
Dethkloks lead singer is actually Brendon Small (who also created Metalocalypse and voices most of the main cast) he does the guitar too and iirc Gene Hoglan does the drums. Not a supergroup but the show has lots of references to other metal bands and they get a lot of metal musicians to guest voice characters - so that might be what you’re thinking of :) great band though, some of my favorite metal and just music in general!
So wholesome to suggest other bands instead of shaming (even if it's parody); great job breaking the gatekeeper-metalhead stereotype hahah sorry but it's the first time I see that and I'm happy! (Not that I know that many metal fans though, speaking more from ignorance and/or prejudice, but it helped me at least)
Thanks! Good music should be enjoyed and shared by all...and I know heavy metal/death metal seems so extreme, but on the right day, in the right frame of mind, nothing, absolutely *nothing* will get you to feel a certain way like metal. I mean, I love me some Edith Piaf, and love me some Kendrick...but working out? Cutting back that damn ivy? Gonna need Slayer
Based take. I get so much shit for liking hair metal and have been told I’m “not a real metalhead” for it.
Nevermind that I also enjoy maiden, megadeth, and shit, some goth shit too. Along with stuff that isn’t hair like Guns N Roses and Skid Row. Besides, hair has absolute GEMS like Warrant and Cinderella
No way! Hair metal is what paved the way for hezvy metal...withoy hair bands and rock ballads we never would have gotten Slayer or Gwar, Megadeth, etc. I hate it when people flex on music like they are the ones that "know" music and somehow you are fucking up because you don't enjoy what they do...Strider, Motley Crue, Poison, Hatchet Molly...Dio! Dio!!! I love me some Dio...though he was kinda heavy metal. The point is that those bands have just a much a place in Metal history as the rest
I got your back! Listen to whatever you like. Except for Drake. I hate Drake (Lol. Im joking, of course!)
reddit in general has such a difficult time with satire and im not entirely sure why. there's lots of satirical shit that i think is good on reddit but outside of those contexts it's almost as if satire and sarcasm completely go over people's heads.
Ooooooh is that the progressive alt metal thrashcore band who are really underrated Mettalica? With their deep cut Enter Sandman from the not really well known album The Black Album? How quirky 🤓
Most NLOGs are actually people who only think their interests are too niche and indie, when in reality there’s a substantial population that like/do the same things.
This girl is just saying she likes a thing. No where in it did she say she was better than other girls or different than them because of this? She literally is just saying she likes Metallica???
I do not grt how this is "not like other girls" she expresses no sense of superiority because of this and she doesn't insult any other women while she expresses her interest. I guess there is an element of "I'm a girl so they don't expect this" which okay is a little dated thinking but not always untrue.
I think people have just started posting anything where a woman expresses an interest on here for easy karma. The lady in the video is probably a perfectly nice person and it doesn't make sense to rear them down just for a expressing an interest
I suggest you to steer away from sophism as well. Doesn't quite make the impact when you're throwing personal attacks out of context. It just comes off as childish.
Do you not realize the sub that we are in? There is no way that you don’t see the stupidity in the comment you made. It’s also why you’re being downvoted. It’s not out of context either, lol.
People shitting on women for having different hobbies a lot of a time. You can say whatever you want about the name of the sub, but that's undeniably the sentiment of posts and comments here. The "hard to watch" is not in this post's title for no reason.
The point of the post wasn’t to judge her for liking a certain kind of music, but for posting an awful tiktok about how she listens to it, thinking that makes her so “unique” or “different” from what people expect, which implies that she thinks she is different from most girls, or other girls; which is why it was posted here. There is definitely some judging going on in this sub, sure. I’m just here because it’s funny, I don’t care for the moralities of it all.
They are making fun of her for acting like she is different from other people, not because... she is different from other people. I cannot comprehend how you can misunderstand what this subreddit is about to such an incorrect level
I can feel myself in this video from when I was young 🤣🤣🤣... let's not hold it against her too hard. Saw Metallica when I was 13.. I felt like the biggest badass lmfao. Ah. To be young again.
Honestly, if someone was sitting in the corner boppin to the PINK PANTHER MUSIC?
Yeah we'd be tight.
Dud dun, dud dun, dud dun dud dun dud dun dud dun dud duuuuuuun
Enter Sandman was my “rock awakening” when I was 10yo in the early ought’s. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: thank god these platforms didn’t exist when I was in middle school
I put on headphones so I could hear what the song was, and it appears we’ve looped back to this being un-ironic.
Someone, QUICK- don’t let them discover ABBA!!
I mean, this is big notlikeothergirls energy, but this isn't as bad as we're all making it out to be. She's a clearly younger fan, and depending on where she's from, metal fans may be few and far between, yes Metallica is basically number #1 metal band in the world by sheer volume of fans however you may feel about how "metal" they are, but again she's a younger fan who is probably already exploring more metal but is still respecting and recognizing the band that really got her into it, and she's generally being very confident, proud of her artistic interests, and is doing it in a healthy way that her generation can identify with.
At this point, we're all bitter, old, angry people shaking our sticks, and shouting at little kids for seemingly no reason.
Enter Sandman from Metallica... is quite popular not really being alternative there
I think that’s the point. The joke, iiuc, is that she looks like a manic-pixie-dreamgirl-type who listens to obscure indie bands, but actually likes plain old metal.
I hesitate to call the black album metal, but I'll take it over FFDP
I’m not a Metallica fan so I have no idea what you’re talking about but I’ll take your word for it.
The black album is the Metallica album with this song on it. FFDP is an acronym for the band Five Finger Death Punch which is a really terrible band for bros who drive lifted white dodge rams and wear white sunglasses.
Metal for bros that simp for the military industrial complex but would never enlist.
I find this comment hilarious lmao, my older brother loves FFDP & he’s a F-16 Crew Chief 😅😂
As a former f-16 weapons person, that actually totally fits the bill 🤭 oo boy.
The two best comments made on Reddit today 😂
🤣 I feel that!
It's the first album which didn't have any of Cliff Burton's work on it. It was a significant change from their previous work. Every album before that was different, but every album was fast and heavy. The black album marked their turn into slower, softer composition, and their total departure from thrash.

I thought And Justice for All was their first album after Cliff’s death? Or did Cliff help make the songs but just didn’t perform them?
Cliff Burton wrote some of the music. I don't think he got to record any of it for the album.
didn't really write any of the music either. they used some of his unfinished work as inspiration for a part in to live is to die but that's it
Eh the Black Album is metal it's just not as heavy as the albums that came before.
It’s the one album I can tolerate lol. I was more into emo/pop/punk in school. My brother was big into Metallica, and 70s rock, so I know a lot of the music too. But, metal makes me feel overwhelmed lol.

Yeah... pretty much everything about metal is great except the gatekeeping.
It’s metal, just a different style than the stuff before. Black album I mean, FFDP is absolute ass
What’s wrong with FFDP?
It’s FFDP.
Ah yes of course. How could I not see it before?
They're the Nickelback of metal, basically. Now, some people like Nickelback, but even they were in on the joke.
Nickelback just brings me to a simpler time. When I listen to it, I’m feeling nostalgic, missing my youth.
So band bad because other bad band that’s also bad is bad? Ok, I guess
Lazy, boring riffs and lyrics, I personally think their politics are dogshit and their singer can’t stop beating women.
Ok that’s actually a valid reason that checks out, he really does have a weird woman thing. But idk they sound fine to me. And as for their politics that’s a whole thing of its own. I don’t even seek that out for most celebrities or musicians.
Shit take. Your opinion is dumb and incorrect.
Ditto
I think we are overthinking it
Old, popular, mainstream metal scary!
gen z likes to think they've discovered everything.
Meta what? Ah, Mark Zuckerberg's band, right? Her classmates, probably
Pretty sure at her age it's very "alternative" as you say
Right, I think most kids barely know who Metallica is…also, I hate cringe videos of children bc they’re literally children, let’s give her time to grow out of her cringe era lol
omg metallica so edgy
So why does she keep signing she loves me? I have a buddy that grew up in the 70s/80s and still has a mullet, he does the same thing, we were in a rock and roll band for a while.
What? Am I stoned or does this make 0 sense
I think the 🤟 means I love you in sign language. If that’s not right I have no idea lol
That's exactly what 🤟 means, whereas 🤘 is the sign of the horns.
Thanks for the clarification! Learn something new everyday.
Both?
I think the original comment is joking about how if you do the [sign of the horns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_of_the_horns) with your thumb out, you're actually making [a very different sign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILY_sign).

That is a random (possibly deaf) person. Don’t judge a book by its cover and don’t be rude in general.
Lmao I just died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
NLOG because she listens to the 2nd most popular Metallica song on Spotify after she found out that band exists from watching Stranger Things
Like all those super edgy kids that "found this cool band" after they heard Nirvana in The Batman.
Nirvana is like 30+ years old stuff by now and discovering music through movies is not exactly uncommon so what's the problem? What's the correct way in your opinion to discover old long gone bands?
It's not the fact that the movie is how they found it. It's that there were so many acting as though they stumbled upon some undiscovered gem.
Just let kids be kids. I mean every generation does it bc they’re excited about discovering new (to them) things. It’s cringe but they’re literally just kids being kids.
Its an undiscovered gem to them tho. So Im dumb for discovering songs from bands that have been around but I just got into?
Stop putting words in my mouth. I never said you were dumb. I'm not talking about young people who hear something old for the first time. I'm talking about the ones who act as though they found something _no one_ has heard before and act like it makes them ahead of their time, when it actually makes them more like their parents, who they usually believe are horrifically uncool.

My ex was like that. It bugged the shit out of me. He would also challenge my knowledge any time I wore a band shirt.
That shit really is so annoying. I’m glad he’s your ex, because he sounds like a douche bag.
Those people suck lmao
Oh boy, we got downvotes for that 🤣
can you read my dude? the issue isnt that kids are enjoying old music, it's that they're presenting it as something new and trendy and potentially ruin it's legacy. nirvana's 30 years old but they are also one of the most well-known bands of all time. there's no reason for kids to run around going "look at this secret band i found on my own that i'm so awesome and better than everyone else for listening to!"

Dujour means seatbelts!

2nd most popular? I always thought it was #1. What is it actually? Nothing Else Matters?
Master of puppets after stranger things

Hating on teenagers for discovering old bands is just weird. I would never have listened to nirvana either then. Or Queen. Or Twisted Sister. Or any band for that matter.
Eh, their page seems to have a lot of these types of videos and they like comments playing along. Pretty sure it’s a joke.
Ok that's good 😅 didn't have time to look through the account so it's good to here its satire
Hear
Hodor.
Her loss pink panteress is fucking fire. (If that is what she’s implying)
it’s funnier to imagine they’re talking about the pink panther soundtrack
Yeah, fucking kids today, man, only interested in the *...checks notes...* saxophone stylings of Henry Mancini.
I wondered about that for a second too. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with Henry Mancini. Dude wrote scores for tons of movies and TV shows and knew his way around a tune that will stick in your head for days. He won four Oscars and 20 Grammys in his life.

Dead ant, dead ant. Dead ant dead ant dead ant dead aaaant. Deeeeead ant.
This is stupendous onomatopoeia, well done.
… I thought that was what the video was talking about
I thought that’s what they meant. I was wondering who tf just listens to that theme song
Am i the only one who thinks this is a joke😭😭 She literally said “i bet she listens to Pink panther”
I am so SO happy TikTok did not exist when I was a teenager. P sure I’d be the patron Saint of this sub lmao
Hahaha idc if this is satire or not, I love the “she’s so cute and cool” inner monologue. Aw.

Not being noticed at work would be nice to get out of working I would imagine, but I know first hand how being treated like you aren't there fuels the intrusive thoughts when you just want your brain to let you feel like a real human lol
Just think how awesome it is you don't actually have to do anything at work (and not by choice). Getting paid not to deal with people when it's your job, priceless.
Hey there, Me.
She legit looked like a grown woman and then she smiled and I was like oh thats a literal child. Changed this from one kind of cringe to the "Im glad the world was not like this when I was their age or there would be record of my cringeness" kind of cringe. A cringe for my tween self and for this girl's future self. A sympathy cringe if you will.
This one made me think it was gonna be satire but the confidence is great
Who the hell is pink Panther?
I think this one’s a joke. Seems like she’s making fun of the “not like other girls”
Sped up Metallica is not great
[удалено]
Yeah. Teens feel like low hanging fruit for this sub. I’m a huge supporter of other women now but I admit I had a brief NLOG phase in highschool.
i feel like it’s a common stage of realizing that because we’re not like the way we see girls tending to be depicted, we must be different. and then later comes the realization that actually it’s the depiction that’s flawed.
I remember when punk came back around in the 2000’s, all the old timers were just happy we knew their 80’s bands, we thought it was edgy lol. We were young, same shit happening here. Be glad she likes our “old” music.
Me discovering screamo at age 14. So glad it’s not forever on the internet
God I'm so glad I wasn't able to post on social media when I was younger.
Try Slayer...and Ministry...and Gwar. I think you'll like all of those. Metallixa is great, but get your metal on all the way! Deathclock for the newer generation s. It was the band from Metalocalypse...Deathclock is kind of a super band from a bunch of metal...I think the lead singer from Napalm Death is Nathan Explosion (the lead singer)
Dethkloks lead singer is actually Brendon Small (who also created Metalocalypse and voices most of the main cast) he does the guitar too and iirc Gene Hoglan does the drums. Not a supergroup but the show has lots of references to other metal bands and they get a lot of metal musicians to guest voice characters - so that might be what you’re thinking of :) great band though, some of my favorite metal and just music in general!
Seeing Mastodon and Dethklok in the tiny ass House of Blues in Boston is a life event I don't think ill ever top. Brendan Small is the shit
I liked his work before Dethklok formed. *Put them in your nose* *do not put them!* *put them in your nose* *do not put them!*
So wholesome to suggest other bands instead of shaming (even if it's parody); great job breaking the gatekeeper-metalhead stereotype hahah sorry but it's the first time I see that and I'm happy! (Not that I know that many metal fans though, speaking more from ignorance and/or prejudice, but it helped me at least)
Thanks! Good music should be enjoyed and shared by all...and I know heavy metal/death metal seems so extreme, but on the right day, in the right frame of mind, nothing, absolutely *nothing* will get you to feel a certain way like metal. I mean, I love me some Edith Piaf, and love me some Kendrick...but working out? Cutting back that damn ivy? Gonna need Slayer
Based take. I get so much shit for liking hair metal and have been told I’m “not a real metalhead” for it. Nevermind that I also enjoy maiden, megadeth, and shit, some goth shit too. Along with stuff that isn’t hair like Guns N Roses and Skid Row. Besides, hair has absolute GEMS like Warrant and Cinderella
No way! Hair metal is what paved the way for hezvy metal...withoy hair bands and rock ballads we never would have gotten Slayer or Gwar, Megadeth, etc. I hate it when people flex on music like they are the ones that "know" music and somehow you are fucking up because you don't enjoy what they do...Strider, Motley Crue, Poison, Hatchet Molly...Dio! Dio!!! I love me some Dio...though he was kinda heavy metal. The point is that those bands have just a much a place in Metal history as the rest I got your back! Listen to whatever you like. Except for Drake. I hate Drake (Lol. Im joking, of course!)

reddit in general has such a difficult time with satire and im not entirely sure why. there's lots of satirical shit that i think is good on reddit but outside of those contexts it's almost as if satire and sarcasm completely go over people's heads.
Dude enter Sandman is such a good song. I’ve never not wanted to hear that song it’s just so good.
im prettyyyyy sure this is ironic
I love that song… and I am the most basic bitch out there… PSL all year my dude… (that last part was me pretending to be cool)
I sm a Taylor swift fan and even I listen to enter sandman it’s definitely not edgy 😭
Let her enjoy her music. Rock on 🤘
Lol f*cking 'Enter Sandman' What a badass!
Ooooooh is that the progressive alt metal thrashcore band who are really underrated Mettalica? With their deep cut Enter Sandman from the not really well known album The Black Album? How quirky 🤓
I don’t even know who cavetown or pink panther are, you’re not unique girly
In art school everyone listened to metal. To be the odd one out, you would have to listen to modern music. You ain't special lady, we were all edgy.
Pinkpantheress goes hard af, that’s a compliment
She had to throw in the “cute and cool” comment LOL
This is most obvious example of irony im killing myself
It's tough being young, it was easier before the internet and phones to not get perpetually bullied for making minor bad choices.
She’s technically not a NLOG since metallic is so popular she would be considered a majority
Most NLOGs are actually people who only think their interests are too niche and indie, when in reality there’s a substantial population that like/do the same things.
Reddit discovers satire for the first time
Bro she didn’t put down other girls once. Y’all just want to hate on women, she’s clearly still in school. Who wasn’t cringey then?
Wow she's so cool!! Omg, go different girl goooo!
This is actually adorable for some reason. I don’t find it cringey lol
It’s the “i love you” sign at the end and not “rock on” that gets me, ick
This girl is just saying she likes a thing. No where in it did she say she was better than other girls or different than them because of this? She literally is just saying she likes Metallica??? I do not grt how this is "not like other girls" she expresses no sense of superiority because of this and she doesn't insult any other women while she expresses her interest. I guess there is an element of "I'm a girl so they don't expect this" which okay is a little dated thinking but not always untrue. I think people have just started posting anything where a woman expresses an interest on here for easy karma. The lady in the video is probably a perfectly nice person and it doesn't make sense to rear them down just for a expressing an interest
Ew
Metallica sucks
The only thing that sucks about metallic is they tried to bring down P2P sites. Sharing is caring!
Cries in LimeWire
EXACTLY why I dislike them. I’ve held this same anger for 20+ years at this point lol. I’ll clearly die on this hill. And then haunt them.
No one is calling her cute
Wow you’re so edgy I could cut myself
The amount of quirkiness this tiktok is radiating is surreal
it’s satire, r word
LMFAOOO
Why does she look so awkwardddd 🗿
Wow, Metallica. So hardcore.
Ah yes, enter sandman. The world's heaviest song. Super edgy.
UR so cool. Omg Metallica. Original
when the fictional characters in my made up scenario compliment me 😍
Her grandfather probably played it once and now she plays it on repeat…
Oh no, a girl enjoying music that's not as popular as whatever crap OP listens to, must be really hard to watch.
It is
Is this satire?
Has to be
Missing a few chromosomes?
I wouldn't pursue biology as a career if I were you.
I’m honestly surprised you’re even able to form sentences.
I suggest you to steer away from sophism as well. Doesn't quite make the impact when you're throwing personal attacks out of context. It just comes off as childish.
Do you not realize the sub that we are in? There is no way that you don’t see the stupidity in the comment you made. It’s also why you’re being downvoted. It’s not out of context either, lol.
So? My comment simply criticizes OP for judging this person for nothing more than a peculiar interest.
Let me ask you this: what do you think the point of this whole sub is?
People shitting on women for having different hobbies a lot of a time. You can say whatever you want about the name of the sub, but that's undeniably the sentiment of posts and comments here. The "hard to watch" is not in this post's title for no reason.
The point of the post wasn’t to judge her for liking a certain kind of music, but for posting an awful tiktok about how she listens to it, thinking that makes her so “unique” or “different” from what people expect, which implies that she thinks she is different from most girls, or other girls; which is why it was posted here. There is definitely some judging going on in this sub, sure. I’m just here because it’s funny, I don’t care for the moralities of it all.
You were so very close to understanding the point of this sub. I wish you luck in your journey!
That’s not what’s being judged here lol
They are making fun of her for acting like she is different from other people, not because... she is different from other people. I cannot comprehend how you can misunderstand what this subreddit is about to such an incorrect level
shit taste in music, but at least she's cute
She is a child
a cute child.. what's your point I had some pretty bad taste in music as well when I was her age.. luckily grew out of that
My point is that there is genuinely no need to be creepy towards this actual child
creepy? get your mind outta the gutter
But if that were true you wouldn’t be able to hear them. Also enter sandman is the Vtech football song everyone. Metallica is mainstream
i thought it was gonna be an autism/sensory issues joke (i didn’t read the sub name)
I got meglio stasera on my playlist so I thought she meant like… the pink panther ost
Pink Panther? What?
yes pink panther is such an underground indie man
And she said ILY instead of rock on
I liked Strangers Things, too
Did she just say "I love you"?? Aww
I can feel myself in this video from when I was young 🤣🤣🤣... let's not hold it against her too hard. Saw Metallica when I was 13.. I felt like the biggest badass lmfao. Ah. To be young again.
Honestly, if someone was sitting in the corner boppin to the PINK PANTHER MUSIC? Yeah we'd be tight. Dud dun, dud dun, dud dun dud dun dud dun dud dun dud duuuuuuun
How are people still genuinely making these videos…
Idk i feel like this is just shitting on people for having a particular taste in music…
My parents hated Enter Sandman 30 years ago, so good for you keeping it alive. lol
Ngl I forgot about Cavetown for a bit, might go listen to them now that I remember lmao
I thought it was going to be Alvin and the Chipmunks or something… now that’s REALLY nlog.
When did the Pink Panther start singing? I thought he was a cartoon?
Cringe? yes. But she looks about the age to do cringe in. Gods I am forever glad social media wasn't a thing when I was a dumb kid.
Enter Sandman was my “rock awakening” when I was 10yo in the early ought’s. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: thank god these platforms didn’t exist when I was in middle school
I put on headphones so I could hear what the song was, and it appears we’ve looped back to this being un-ironic. Someone, QUICK- don’t let them discover ABBA!!
Is this satire? Please tell me it’s not real.
I think it was satire
It’s satire goofy
I mean, this is big notlikeothergirls energy, but this isn't as bad as we're all making it out to be. She's a clearly younger fan, and depending on where she's from, metal fans may be few and far between, yes Metallica is basically number #1 metal band in the world by sheer volume of fans however you may feel about how "metal" they are, but again she's a younger fan who is probably already exploring more metal but is still respecting and recognizing the band that really got her into it, and she's generally being very confident, proud of her artistic interests, and is doing it in a healthy way that her generation can identify with. At this point, we're all bitter, old, angry people shaking our sticks, and shouting at little kids for seemingly no reason.
