Just wanted to let you know, after 1 year of me working at my current job, I have converted someone to become an official Corekid. And I couldn't have done it without you Nik, thank you.
@@pattohorne This sentence hurts me on a level I did not expect. I don't like to call people not in the "scene" dumb but.. Calling HH death metal is like calling a kitten a Panther.. Sure they're in the same ball park I guess but you'd have to be a bit purposely unaware to think they're the same thing. Again, I hate being _that_ guy but do people not know basic music genres? At least in 2022 with Lorna Shore breaking into mainstream status, people should know the difference between rock, hard rock, metal(core) and death metal/core by now.
DSBM is short for "Depressive Suicidal Black Metal". It's basically black metal but slower, with a gloomy atmosphere, screams simulating pain and lyrics about depression, suicide, self harm and etc etc. And the part that we the fans of the genre never felt the touch of a woman is actually very true XD
You think that is cold? Varg once made a pun about killing Euronymous, one of the best black metal moments ever. Shit was hilarious and I use to hate Burzum cause of that.
The biggest issue with people claiming to have been emo/goth/punk/metal or whatever is that they think because they've heard one song and wear a ridiculous outfit. that they are correctly portraying that. its honestly always been so comical. and always a great laugh.
When I was in the military I had a fake skull on the dashboard. The guard at the CEP would always jokingly ask for it's ID, so finally I made an ID for the skull. I named him Peter Steele. This was before Steele passed. RIP
After seeing these videos, I noticed a pattern that repeatedly gets reinforced at every show I’ve been too-women’s metal styles seem to be more emo based where as guys are mostly cargo pants and t shirts.
@@vcorkleth the Gothic Subculture started in the 80s actually, and the London and Dublin was heavily fashion influenced (and vice versa) so I guess Goth does stand as an independent fashion trend, I guess.
@@Drekon009 I know the goth subculture started in the 80s, for me it's just what I've seen of people "dressing goth" in the 90s/00s without even listening to 80s goth industrial bands.
1:55 This bloke is actually the vocalist for one of the greatest black metal bands I've ever heard. They're called Hekseblad. Check them out, if you haven't already!
Honestly I wouldn't even question the skeleton in the back of the car. I'd just give him a name, buckle him in, and go. Then again there's a guy around our neighborhood driving a Jurassic Park jeep with a skeleton dressed up as Nedry all year round. Dresses Nedry up as Santa around the holidays.
“There’s millions of Americans here today struggling with making Tik Toks today” I know, I feel for them too. It’s a tough life trying to make your life seem so much more interesting than everyone else’s.
That pop punk cover of Master of Puppets was soooooooo freaking good tho. I'm a huge fan of both metal and pop punk (2 genres the generally hate each other) but they are my favourite. Todd Barriage deserve a pop punk award for doing that.
@@alexiluffy216 I mean, it was a terrible thing to do lmao but he knew that. And he made it work, somehow. And if anyone doesn't know, it's Todd Barriage and he's awesome (and the featured singer is Kala)
Your interaction reminds me of the Cannibal Corpse/Dark Funeral concert I went to where this drunk girl was trying to buy me a drink but was fumbling for her wallet, so I bought the drinks and walked away just to avoid the interaction afterwards.
I am so happy that I do not have a TikTok, don't watch any TT, nor plan to get a TT in the immediate future, and by 'immediate future' I mean 'ever'. It's a frigging pit of yuck. I admire your ability to stay calm under this pressure.
whats scariest about that master of puppets cover is that if you are unfamiliar enough with the song, or have a strong suspension of disbelief? Its not bad, in fact its good.
4:55 urban dictionary says dsbm means depressive suicidal black metal.... If any of us knew that when the TikTok started especially Nik, we all would've cringed I'm sure.
the one tiktok where it said "you know the band from stranger things is playing today?" reminded me of a joke my friend and i did. We went to a Rammstein concert and we kept saying that we were going to go see Du Hast and similar stuff. we did it for fun we just knew that was their most popular song XD
1:59 That song I know XD There's a Disney show called Liv and Maddie. There was a little brother named Parker. This song was the theme to Parker's favorite tv show Linda and Heather
I can just imagine Euronymous trying to screetch at Varg to try and scare him away. I wonder what Euronymous would think about the fact that Vargs fans are the niche and shunned scary esoterics while his fans are the cringey tiktok "posers".
*Everything's fine*
Are you sure, Nik? Are you absolutely sure?
Nik, please review Xavleg. That’s not their full name, but you’ll figure it out. You won’t be disappointed.
Cap
The silent cringing is one of my favorite things ever and idk why
I had a similar laugh to "my culture is not a costume"; choice reaction video
He has built up an immunity to the cringe. He's like the Dread Pirate Roberts of Metal Content Creators, and TikTok is his Iocane Powder.
INCONCEIVABLE!
What you do not smell is called "unfiltered cringe"
Dread Pirate Roberts😂😂
@@jtrider3779 you keep using this word. I do not think it means, what you think it means
this is the best possible simile
Why do I get the feeling that majority of the people making these tiktoks are not metalheads, but this is just what they think metalheads are like.
Because it is the fuken truth
I don't even use the term metalhead anymore because of these people
Except the Furry playing Nil By Mouth by Haken. That's too deep a cut to not be a legit metalhead.
I hate calling people posers but they're all fucking posers
Honesty, I’m a normal ass person. I don’t walk around lookin like imma start slittin my wrist everyday😭
Nik is absolutely fucking suffering and we're here letting it happen
FO DA LULZ
Any of us that watch are also suffering.
I HOPE HE'S OKAY
I love how he has to say that's great multiple times to convince himself
I love that Nik has a wheel spin emote.
Ofc
He’s just that guy

I didn't cringe, but I'm pretty sure whatever shred of a soul I had left just abandoned my body.
You're so dramatic I love you 🤣🤣🤣
“That tactic don’t work out for Euronymous” damn dude, stone cold! I think tik tok is killing you inside.
Who is it NOT
You think that is cold? Varg once made a pun about killing Euronymous, one of the best black metal moments ever. Shit was hilarious and I use to hate Burzum cause of that.
Okay, but dude's fry technique at 1:16 is actually immaculate though
FR THO
On bro
Actually was pretty sick. Can imagine that over a breakdown.
Fr
This is by far the most sad and low energy nick noc video and yet one of the funniest
'i dont think that worked for euronymous' i laughed way too hard at that one
The biggest issue with people claiming to have been emo/goth/punk/metal or whatever is that they think because they've heard one song and wear a ridiculous outfit. that they are correctly portraying that. its honestly always been so comical. and always a great laugh.
Yea most of the real metal heads i know look like normal people rbh
why not llet people look like how they want?
@@certifiedclownlala3672 because they are cringe that the whole point
Unfortunately they give the rest of the bunch bad names.
@@certifiedclownlala3672 because they hurt my eyes
It's not even cringe, it's just plain sad. People think that's how metalhead really are.
Btw Nik congrats on 666k subs.
🤘

I do not know for what reason, but I laughed until tears for 10 minutes without stopping
“Try not to headband, metalhead edition”
Rob Zombie starts playing
You know nik is at his peak when his sub count is 666k (at the moment)
Hell yea
your reactions to these are just pure gold 😂
6:58 I’ve felt this way before, SO INSECURE
CRAWWWLING IN MY SKINNNNN
Imagine if metal TikTok was full of actually good covers and playthroughs
Imagine if tiktok wasn't real that would be swell
After seeing these videos, I noticed a pattern that repeatedly gets reinforced at every show I’ve been too-women’s metal styles seem to be more emo based where as guys are mostly cargo pants and t shirts.
This. This is Tik Tok. It doesn't represent anything connected to the real world.
Emo, punk and/or goth*, ;)

Those challenges are becoming harder with each one. I admire your resilience and fortitude my man. The cringe is almost of lethal level at this point.
You are ABSOLUTELY right. TikTok is poison.
TikTok tells me that Metal is actually a fashion trend rather than being a music genre 🤷🏽?
Tiktok makes everything into a fashion trend. Subcultures, mental illness , sexuality .
What Goths have been feeling since the 90s.

Getting blessed with Moametal’s smile at the start of the video is a great way to start
Thx for including my clip in the video Nik, glad it made you question life for a bit 😅😂
“There’s millions of Americans here today struggling with making Tik Toks today” I know, I feel for them too. It’s a tough life trying to make your life seem so much more interesting than everyone else’s.
Struggling with making one minute videos? Ooh, If I were to trade that between McDonald's I'll take that any day! Why are they calling it struggling?
@@gimmeyourrights8292 my brother in christ it's sarcasm
Tiktok deserves all but one fate, and that is OBLITERATION.
I told someone I liked metal, and then they came down on me saying it wasn't "real metal" and now I don't talk about the music I like.
Dude, this made me die of cringe. Best 'try not to' ever for real metalheads
The first tiktok he cringed at was actually pretty cute, surprised he lasted that long
That pop punk cover of Master of Puppets was soooooooo freaking good tho. I'm a huge fan of both metal and pop punk (2 genres the generally hate each other) but they are my favourite. Todd Barriage deserve a pop punk award for doing that.
I love when people just say “that’s metal” after anything it is hilarious. Example: “My dog passed away” me: “that’s metal as fuck”
"brutal"
"Slamming brutal death metal"
5:53 that would be Kala, a shadow priest in the WoW dueling scene and vocalist of Tidebringer
"why would you assume this, because I like aggressive music? I don't wanna leave my house"
too relatable
"did u know the stranger things band is playing today?" i literally fell out of my seat
the pop punk cover of master of puppets is actually really well done ngl, the creator behind it is a fellow YTer in the alt music community
agreed. sad to see Nik disapprove of it though :(

oh my fucking god that caught me so off guard

everytime i cringe
i spin the wheel
and everytime i look
makes me wanna cry
Am I missing something? Over half of these "metalheads" just looked like those "under the bridge goths" from that old ass video.
They just dress like that to get attention
@@kirisutegomen12 haven’t metalheads always been that way though? At least the edgy, young fans?
"I'm old, confused, and a bit frightened!"
I'm a fan of slipknot, I swear that after seeing those tiktok videos I would be embarrassed to say that I like slipknot
You are a f'n legend Nik. I needed to laugh today. 🤘🤣
I am so happy that I do not have a TikTok, don't watch any TT, nor plan to get a TT in the immediate future, and by 'immediate future' I mean 'ever'. It's a frigging pit of yuck. I admire your ability to stay calm under this pressure.
The girl “singing” Custer was the cringe breaking point for me. She wasn’t even singing it right and her hair was like in her mouth It just hurt me
6.26. "Well, that sucks for him, alright, let's keep going" lost my shit!😂😂😂
TikTok absolutely destroyed Custer😭😭😭😭
whats scariest about that master of puppets cover is that if you are unfamiliar enough with the song, or have a strong suspension of disbelief? Its not bad, in fact its good.
This one video made me hate tik tok even more than I already did. And I didn’t think it was possible.. but “THE MORE YOU KNOW”
That one hurt pretty bad
Such a fun stream! I was laughing that mine made you cringe. 😂 I’m sorry you lost $40!
I'm beginning to feel dirty for enjoying these because they are clearly having a negative effect on Nik's mental health.
And I guess I'm into that.
4:55 urban dictionary says dsbm means depressive suicidal black metal....
If any of us knew that when the TikTok started especially Nik, we all would've cringed I'm sure.
2:26
"i-i uh, dont think that tactic worked for euronymous"
man what the fuck 😭
If I was in Nik's position, I'd be in debt.
It's an awesome kind of video for Nik to make!
i don't usually truly feel cringe but some of these tiktoks have really allowed me to feel it. thanks, i hate it.
Wise words from a King of Metal
I can’t tell if nik genuinely doesn’t understand satire or not
I mean, the Paranoid one got me, that one was fucking hilarious
What a great number of subs. 🤘🤘
I haven't even smiled at once. Please, remoce TikTok from internet
I cringed from just the thumbnail lol
Perfect
"My culture is not a costume" lmfaooo
0:25 she’d be a perfect koRn backup vocalist
😂 omg I can't stop laughing, metal tiktok is so hilarious especially that blue haired emo kid attempting a signature RAWR XD scream
this one was hard to get through
2:36 imagine this on a local news channel with the headline like “Metal band throws pizza into the crowd during a show”
Now I'm afraid to say that I like metal and people think that I'm a tiktok metalhead.
You can see the pain in his eyes
your subscriber count is the most metal thing abt your channel rn

Additionally: WHO DID THIS TO US 5:52
Nik is at 666k subs. Very metal
"Does the Monster...make you a pterodactyl?"
Damn it, i can pass on try not to laugh, but try not to cringe i would bankrupt... 😢🥴

What the goofy was that second one, and how did it relate to metal…
No. Fucking. Idea.
It's hard to not cringe as tiktok is overall cringe. Don't know how you didn't cringe with the first 3 videos but it's incredible.
Rip $$
Your nose flaring at Pop Punk Master of Puppets was pretty brutal🤣
some of these tiktoks are obvious satire brother 💀
