    It’s always fascinating hearing metal fans say “bro, being edgy is cringe”. When all of the classic metal bands were edgy as hell. By their definition metal itself is cringe. Death, Slayer, Exodus, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest these dudes were and still are edgy and angry, that’s what metal is.

    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.

    Seems to me that for all of the “it’s not meant to be taken seriously” talk, it’s mostly the INK fans in here being WAY too serious who can’t handle even MILD criticism. You may not find it cringe, but a LOT of people do. Regardless, this is just supposed to be some light-hearted fun. Not really worthy of this level of defensiveness. Just enjoy your music.

    Creatures was the epitome of Motionless In White. Infamous and Reincarnate weren't bad, but I'm not a fan of anything after that. Most of Graveyard Shift and Disguise is just radio pop metal, and STEOTW isn't much better. Creatures is the best album they ever put out, and the only things they had at the time that was different than now, were TJ Bell, Josh Balz, and Angelo Parente. Clearly those 3 were the best things to happen to Motionless In White. Anymore, they're just a pop band with screaming, distorted guitars, and "gothic" imagery.

    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.

    Sometimes it’s hard to see cringe when you’re inside of it. Like if your room smells but you’re in it so much you’ve adapted to it. Or maybe you’re just young and hindsight hasn’t kicked in yet. Either way, just embrace it. We’re all a little 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

But I can definitely see why their approach to that type of sound wouldn't appeal to everyone, the sample placements in some of their songs are random, and the vocals in a lot of places can feel a bit exaggerated which kind of throws me off at times.

    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.

He’s tried to hitch a ride on the Woke Wagon, and has somehow not been “canceled” for his “offensive” lyrics. He’s a terrible rapper, lyricist and can’t scream or sing for shhtt. Without the talent of his band, he’s nothing. To be fair though, EVERY rapper from 90s-00s have managed to skate by without catching ANY criticism from the wokesters.

    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.

    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.

(albums "Lacuna Coil", "In a Reverie")

    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.

    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

    That’s their whole vibe. Music isn’t made for artists. When I feel sick or fucked up I listen to them, which is quite often. Maybe some people can’t relate, but it doesn’t make them bad.

    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.

Ever since then, you can see dozens of copycat tattoos just by searching 'eternally yours' tattoos, but mine was the first and it was done by Angelo Perente of Black Casket Tattoo. Ever since then every MIW fanboy/girl has wanted one and that's evident by the numerous copies of my tattoo, which was originally designed by my girlfriend. Thankfully Angelo is a very talented and ethical artist who won't do the same design twice unless heavily altered. The takeaway is that mine is the first of its kind, and that whether I enjoy their current music or not, MIW will forever have a special place in my heart and on my flesh.

    I watched this video randomly because I hoped to see you list bands that I find the most cringiest. I wasn't disappointed until I saw Sleep Token's logo pop up. I think they are the least cringiest band on the list, so I agree they belong on the bottom. However, musically they are probably the most talented band on this list, especially considering it is basically one guy writing and performing everything (it also helps that the other guy in the band is one of the premier drummers out there.) I get that some people find the masks gimmicky and cringe. I get that the origin story is kind of cringe as well. I kind of felt the same way when I first encountered them. But now, years later, I wish I wouldn't have written them off so quickly. But I will say that the music, lyrics, and fans are absolutely not cringe. In fact, it has been refreshing to encounter a fan base that seems to be wholly accepting and unified in their love for the music and the musicians. The Sleep Token fan base is also very diverse, and has people from all kind of genres and walks of life coming together to appreciate it. That is hard to do in music and even in life, and especially so in music that can get heavy at times. Metal elitists have a history of having toxic opinions (I myself am even guilty of it.) I know I sound like a cringey worshipper now, and I suppose that fits the narrative, haha. But yeah, I agree with ALMOST everything in this video.
