Gen Z Reacting To Slipknot Is Hard To Watch...

Apparently the younger generation can't get into metal... Recently, the REACT channel had some kids from Gen Z check out Slipknot, and recently on Twitch, we checked it out to see how they handled it...

When that kid said "this isn't even music" It punched me right in my soul. 😔

[MrSchism]

As a dude who coordinated guitar lessons for 5 years up until very recently... GenZ is way more accepting of metal than previous generations. These kids.... They're outliers.

[ryantannar]

I think Slipknot is the heaviest thing they've reacted to and the funny thing is that Slipknot is only middle of the road as far as how heavy things get

[TheOnlyPedroGameplays]

There were probably like 30+ kids who got removed from the video for liking the music present

[tobas]

As someone who's in his teens now, i have to say Slipknot, SOAD, Marilyn Manson, Korn and Linkin Park are the bands i enjoy the most

My daughter is “Gen Z”. She loves Slipknot, Korn, Post Malone, honestly her interests are everywhere musically. Sure she was raised listening to heavy music but she found a lot of stuff on her own. I was raised on country, but found metal. Kids are influenced partially on what parents listen to, but also have the freedom to choose from so many different kinds of music. Both of my kids have an open mind to music.

I’m gen z and I absolutely adore Slipknot. They helped me through so much and like a lot of people have said, they opened me up to heavy metal and they made me want to play guitar and they’re my therapy

[kerpieski]

Being a Gen Z myself do not claim these kids lmao. I grew up with a metal head dad and listening to Korn, Slipknot, Ozzy, Five Finger, the list goes on and on. My taste in metal has since grown heavier and heavier and I LOVE IT! This music has always helped me get through hard times and using them to help understand what I'm feeling.

Man, I'm Gen z, and this makes me cry. I'm 14 and a girl, and I love Korn, Slipknot, Slayer, Exodus, Metallica, Megadeth, Cannibal Corpse, Slaughter to prevail, Dream Theater, Dio, Black Sabbath, and others. Metal music is my world. 🤘

[Awoken]

It's not even a gen Z thing, back when I was a teenager my classmates called me suicidal just cause I listened to "screaming music" lol.

[joonatankahkonen]

I'm a 45 YO dad and my son is about twelve and I have been listening to Metal music my entire life and when I heard my son commenting to me, while listening to Slayer.. "Dad, this is actually really good and awesome..".. a tear rolled from my eye. And, the track was raining blood.. That moment made me smile and tear up at the same time. A future metal-head was born inside my son at that moment. And he was whistling the melody allday after that. One of the best days of my life as being a metalhead-dad.

[McDognalds]

Hey genz kid here, i was raised off of this kind of stuff and i can assure you that not all "kids these days" have a hatred for metal as we are all different people with different personalities even though we are the same generation. Still great vid tho!!

[LordApoca]

Being from Iowa, where everybody listens to country, I'm proud to claim slipknot.

25 year old here.
I introduced my 16 year old brother to the legends of heavy metal. He liked it, actively listens to legends like Rolling Stones Metallica Black Sabbath motörhead etc. I couldn’t be more proud

[kaelynshea]

People who say this isn't music, they have no idea about music. You may not like Slipknot and Co but you can't deny that they are amazing musicians. What they do on their instruments is insane. Growlsinging is so hard to do. If you want to do it without hurting yourself you need the perfect technique and a lot of training. It is not specifically what I like, and I do like metal, but I can't stop admiring what they can do. The music is so complex, it is amazing

[cgbndqm]

That little curly hair kid has never been insulted or punched in the face and it shows

[AmonAmarthFan]

“I like metal, but HEAVY metal is a little too much for me”
do....oh boy, where do I begin?

[Dr.HannibalLecterVIII]

As a gen Z kid (2002), this hurts me. So many young people are too quick to judge music genres. I listen to a lot of different genres, I try to stay open-minded.

[Blurd]

To be quite honest being a part of Gen Z myself I literally went through middle and high school listening to Slipknot and other metal bands, they really got me through it all

[kingxbuu]

You can tell in their pampered, perfect little lives they’ve never experienced pent up aggression… and it’s extremely disturbing to me.
