* Why metalcore bands like Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying rank higher than death metal and black metal bands
* Why third-wave ska ranks so low, despite bands like The Bosstones and Goldfinger having commercial success
* How grunge artists like Nirvana and Alice In Chains and nu-metal bands like Linkin Park and Slipknot changed everything

You should check out What a Disaster the cuz the whole thumbnail reminds me of their sound
You forgot groove metal 😢
Finn, i'm not gonna say that you forgot this or this subgenre but I will say that you left out alot and in a weird fashion. It seems like you created subgenre with discussable choices to fits in and left out real sub-divisions by amalgamating bands that doesn't belong together.
Not complaining just saying that i'm puzzled with your fragmentation off subgenres 🤣. I would probably really enjoy talking music for an entire evening with you and see how different we see a scene as two different person of the same era but from different country... anyway cheers to you man 😎
Do a video on how john petrucci influenced so many modern guitars players with either style or his guitar the music man. Or how Mike portnoy really influenced a lot of modern metal core guys. Or dream theater as a whole.
The Punk Rock MBA I fucking love your overly specific examples that go deep for no reason shits hilarious keep it up
“I’m putting ska in the D tier”
*Angry horn noises*
I love ska. I do understand it can sound annoying to some. Most of the stuff i like are high tho: grunge, skate punk, thrash metal, nu metal
I have to say, I've been surprised recently to learn how brutal ska fans are. They are up there with black metal fans in terms of defensiveness (but at least they aren't also racist lol)
@@ThePunkRockMBA Really? That is very surprising. Well at least i am very easy-going fella 😊
@@ThePunkRockMBA In Cleveland at a Bouncing Souls show ska fans from the crowd essentially mugged The Flatliners into playing one of their old ska songs, which is a thing they've tried to do at every Flats show for the past 10 years XD. Now I know why they call them RUDE boys.
“If I’m being honest, Easy Core belongs in the E tier” *angry friend noises*
Puts Midwest emo on d tier
*Sad 9/7 time signature noises*
**Fretboard tapping intensifies**
*taps fret board with malicious intent*
Prog metal/Tech death/Djent/Mathcore/Jazz metal: *Puts hand on shoulder, with teary eyes aimed at the floor* "That's rough, buddy."
I LOVE MIDWESTERN EMO 😭
I love midwest emo 🙌🏻
"I've never met anyone who listens to Godsmack." Well maybe if you answered my calls
Bruh this guy put emo rap above "butt rock"
I stand alone
@@berbafan67 dude please Awake
Lol the first godsmack song I heard is when legends rise and so far it's the only song I've liked by them.
Godsmack was pretty big within the period from 1998's "Godsmack" up to 2010's "The Oracle." They had a pretty noticeable drop off in popularity during the 2010s decade, but managed to rack up some decent viewing and streaming numbers with their 2018 album "When Legends Rise."
I don’t rly listen to thrash, but I think we can all agree that none of these metal/core genres would exist without it
But metalcore is thrash hah
@@Broccoli75 slowed down thrash....not being a metal snob i love both but its kinda true
@@MartiniScreamz Yeah I feel like metalcore is just a shittier version of groove metal
@@ambatukoom not at all
@@XX-sv3qu Yes it is, listen to Sepultura and Pantera and tell me there aren't breakdowns like in metalcore. Only difference is metalcore ripped off Meshuggah and started using djenty breakdowns.
The whole Power Metal/awkward Belarusian gym conversation was put in way too much detail for it to be "just a metaphor"
You don't want to miss a second of this power metal show! That band hangs dong!
Matthew Latham Bro, I was crying laughing 😂 when Finn went into FULL detail about it! I kinda lil’ horny, Man, Shit!!!! 🤯🤤 🤣🤣🤣
Finn dislikes Power Metal because it makes him self-conscience about his lifts and life choices.
@@colacp he takes Power Metal too seriously
Lol, I’m from Eastern Europe (Russia) and power metal is absolutely not popular here. Russia is more thrash/nu metal and hardcore.
Not a big thrash metal fan, but I would argue that Metallica's influence and overall sales alone are enough to put their genre on S tier. And the genre have Slayer and Megadeth who are huge bands.
Maybe but their biggest success (Black album) it's not thrash and all their career after that isn't either
Luis Berrios their newest album has a lot of thrash songs on it but the era between black album and now has little to none
@@connerwittig9288 That's pretty much them "trying to get back to their roots". And personally I think it sucked. But that's me.
IMO its because they realistically grew into the success they have from not sticking to the Thrash formula. If they had stuck to what they were doing on "Kill'em all" then they would probably be a Slayer or Megadeth level band. Can sellout a stadium or maybe an Arena (that's the bigger one right?) but never grabbing the attention of the mainstream.
I 100% agree and my favorite genre is hardcore. Thrash is so influential for the hardcore scene. Punk, in general, was influential for all metal, so the real punk should be in S tier with thrash as well

So true. Haha I love this comment.

Finn : "yeah so I'm putting Nu Metal in the S tier"
I don't necessarily agree with this ranking but I have nothing but respect...for the absolute balls it takes to say that publically lol
You need to have waayyy bigger balls to include emo rap anywhere higher than bottom tier
@@numetalguitarist2377 if I made one of these I'd probably disregard commercial success as a factor and just put whatever I liked at the top and emo rap would undoubtedly be near it.
@@CaH6633 You are trying to say you would put emo rap near the top man?
@@numetalguitarist2377 emo rap would be wayyy up there.
@@CaH6633 i dont think so:

B: its generic af
JUST HERE TO YELL IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE YOUR OPINION IS DIFFERENT FROM MINE, THANKS.

@@melodica5407 but, what does Corey Taylor think about this?
@@melodica5407 Kanye
me: oh cool he's gonna rank midwest emo, i love that shit
finn: i'm going to put midwest emo in the d teir
me: honestly fair dude, most things from the midwest are d tier in my experience
From Midwest. Can confirm.
Currently in Iowa.... yep
As a Hoosier... yeah that's accurate.
Basically in Ohio half the time, Buffalo NY the other half (basically just a rust belt city) I can confirm
Except that corn though, that's some S tier shit
u didn’t have to go off and roast every single genre i’ve ever loved but u did. keep up the good work
I would have included Doom/Stoner or Groove metal categories.
same, i'd also add on powerviolence and thrashcore. even though it breaks the rules still.
A lot of stoner and doom bands are tied to the hardcore punk scenes. Most of the NOLA sludge bands started as hardcore acts.
Easily S tier just on the power of amps alone.
Those and indie Rock/ garage rock
+1 for Groove metal..... Pantera was an amazing band...
Ad before video: "How do you fit an MBA into your busy life?" Me: "I watch this channel."
Lmao this

Nice dude
Literally every ad break has had a college degree ad in it
Sponsors tier-list coming next please, all the way from Gfuel to Raid Shadow Legends
_Can we get some F’s in the tier_
Ahahaha
RAID SHADOW LEGENDS WITH EMO ELVES GETTING BAGGGGG. S+++ tier.
square space and skillshare
Raid shadow legends! Made by a developing company run by a chairman for the world's largest gambling lobbying group, owned by an Australian gambling company that primarily makes, you guessed it, SLOT MACHINES! Upon acquisition of the game development company the CEO gave some speech about expanding to other areas related to their business and implementing their knowledge to grow these other closely related areas or some shit basically equating to "use our knowledge of how to make slot machines that people pour money into and generate ludicrous profits.. Implement that knowledge into the mobile gaming platform which is obviously closely related to the gambling business.. Prey on little kids that we cannot reach in our target market with our slot machines.. Take their and their parents money and create Lifelong gambling addictions hopefully encouraging them to play our slots later down the line!" They tell every sponsored UA-camr EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY! How many cookie cutter raid shadow legends ads have you seen every UA-camr from a car channel, cooking channel, punk rock channel.. It doesn't matter. There's tens of thousands of these BS ads out there. THE GAME IS AWFUL! It's literally the epitomy of the absolute worst of mobile gaming.. Progress is directly linked to your credit card... You can literally put it on auto so you don't have to play the awful game until the next time you need to type your credit card number in to progress again.. At which point you think you've gotten some joy out of the game but you haven't.. You admire your shiny new character and then auto through more of the boring egregious campaign until the next time you have to stop to spend some money! It's literally the scummiest thing ever. Raid shadow legends is going in the Z tier! I hope they get what's coming to them.
" I do like Linkin Park though" *plays One Step Closer*
I like you even more now, Finn.
The absolute best on Hybrid Theory
Nu metal appears to be... by complete accident... my fave genre.
50% of the genre is absolutely brilliant and still innovative. Simple riffs with super catchy riffs now with added breakdowns.
but the other half is bland, stale and only used as a joke when someone in a UA-cam video gets angry in a comedic way.
Agreed
Who would you consider stale? I love bands like Taproot, 40 Below Summer, Spineshank, Dry Kill Logic, and Earshot for the exact reasons you laid out, but many people claim bands like them "saturated" nu metal
As someone who spent my early teens listening to almost purely power metal... I have never heard a better description of the genre.
so accurate
I love power metal. No other sub genre has a such a disproportionate skill to popularity ratio IMO.
I think he nailed it too. But I would even go as far as to say the foreign guy is also a huge D&D nerd on the side... since there's a huge amount of fantasy themes to the power metal genre
@@poopoogigolo yeah, I was about to say I love power metal! But I’m literally about to play D&D in like an hour 😂 so yeah, your point is proven lmao
Do a "Everything That Triggers An Elitist"
So, his whole channel? Lol
Lol having an opinion.
everything
metal isn't the best music genre
I think he just did
Everyone: angry that their genre didn't make it to the top... *rage*
Me: The word "Djent" is not on line with the other ones *rage*
“Five dollars at the door or free admission if you buy a quesadilla”
*Quesadilla is six dollars*
That’s basically a $1 quesadilla and a show. Sounds like a good deal to me
C for Quesadilla!
No Slam on the list because no tier above “S”
S is for slam
Slam is greatest-tier genre....!
SSlam
🙏🏽
Fuck yes, slam rules
That thumbnail is a masterpiece
Clicked INSTANTLY 😂 it worked like a charm. Then he hits us with another raid ad 😭
😱😱😱
Oh dang lol, thanks for reminding me to make another Sarge sticker for Whatsapp
Reminds me of Morgz xd
Fucking right!
Respect to your list, especially with your placement of Nu-Metal and Grunge. Surprised to see no Industrial-Metal, Glam-Metal, and Post-Hardcore.
Yeah, I was waiting for these, especially post-hardcore… also, no doom metal ranking was interesting to me too
you forgot symphonic metal, speed metal, goth rock, glam rock, prog, psychedelic rock - i know it's not meant to be a comprehensive list
I would actually want a short part 2 with nothing but these six genres
@@AngelRuiz-xq2ie pretty pointless since he would rate them all D or lover
and speed metal is one of the most useless genre terms ever
Ughhh prog killed Maiden so it definitely had some influence...
@@rotkvan he would probably rate hair metal around S A or B.
The only thing missing is hair metal! All the single mom's are going to be hounding you for that one. 😫😂
And my Dad LOL
Alcoholic single dads who blast hair/thrash metal and classic rock.
My uncle introduced me to sabbath and megadeath
That's not fair. Some of them are on their third marriage now.
It woulda been on the S Tier: Guns n Roses,Motley Crue,Poison,Ratt,Deff Leppard,Whitesnake,Dokken etc
@@laughs2651 As it should be. It's the best music genre and only goregrind comes close.
Hey man, that Power Metal description was so oddly specific, but I know a dude that's exactly like that in my gym.
I can't believe nobody has told you "you're everywhere" yet.
@@whosaidthat84 Oh no. They have.
He put nu metal on the S tier! 😱😱😱
I must have woken up in a parallel universe. The hate we got back in the day!
Nu Metal was a mainstream success because there was a lot of big stars and huge hits on the genre!
X-Tier is the Doom: Eternal OST.
On the basis of Periphery alone, I would slot "Djent" (or progressive metal if you're splitting hairs) in C.
If feel like the influence factor is a little overlooked as they haven't really influenced culture outside of music, but they have had a massive impact on music itself (production, asthetic, etc.)
So true. Pretty much all of Metalcore is Djent infused by now. So the influence factor is pretty large. Also there's this splitting of Djent into different styles. Just look at the difference between Meshuggah, Vildhjarta, Modern Day Babylon, (early and current) Intervals or heck even Polyphia. Djent can be implemented in many different styles.
Meshuggah crush, the rest of it is lame.
As a fan of all things Power Metal, no matter how corny the bands get, your description of it is SPOT ON.
+5 to your Speech skill tree
I feel like Midwest emo is underrated and belongs more In C tier to maybe even B tier
I agree, if not only for the fact that without it, you don’t get mall-emo, sad-boy pop punk, or emo-rap (which already died like 2 years ago).
The influence is super underrated
@@VCCassidy Emo rap is still huge
100%
Mineral!
Huge power metal fan and thank you for the frozen crown clip, I belly laughed during your description and thought “he’s exactly right” lol
Well, time to ride down this rainbow on my dragon mount, wielding excalibur, seeking vengeance for this 'E' ranking for my beloved power metal.
Do you know what band was shown when he talked about Power Metal?
@@Cccharlesarnold Sure do. The band is Frozen Crown. That particular song is called Neverending.
I'll just hop in a tank and teach them about some handsome Italians ...if you get this joke...well it says something about you, not sure what though.
The only one that got me was the melo death ranking. Not just because I dig it, but because of how many metalcore bands have been influenced by it. Still to this day bands are trying to sound like At The Gates, In Flames or Soilwork.
ARCH ENEMY!!!
Yeah and i am from sweden so i wanted it to rank high. He should have included melo black metal like dissection.
I love both Metalcore and Melodeath, but Finn is an idiot
Early Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my Valentine, early Bring me the Horizon, Killswitch Engage, As I lay dying, All that remains are literally At the Gates Core. I love all of them but you can't deny the Melodeath influence especially At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul. Even the Crabcore bands (who I also love) such as Attack Attack!, Asking Alexandria still had some At the Gates riffage.
Yeah, I love bands like In Flames, Arch Enemy, Children Of Bodom, Darkest Hour, and Parkway Drive.
Finn: next upp djent
*doesn't even play a clip of a real djent song but just a meme from Jared Dines*
Me: *cries in drop xyz*
it was definitely upsetting not gonna lie. yeah I get that it's been meme'd to death but at least play some AAL or something jeez
Well that is when djent peaked
ironically this was the only one I disagreed on, I think djent was more influential then he thinks. 90% of heavy bands nowadays were inspired by AAL, periphery, ATB etc. I reckon B category would have been more fitting
I believe that was his intended point.
@@Jaydos1470 I LOVE djent, have since Acle was posting 1 minute pre-TesseracT clips on the Harmony Central and Andy Sneap forums. But IMO it's over and done except for the nostalgia, just like thrash. All the stuff that can definitely be classified as "Djent" is more of a Meshuggah tribute than its own thing. Nothing new has evolved from it that is still recognisably "djent". The bands that started there are either still exactly as they were (hello Meshuggah, I still love you) or have morphed into very different sounding bands (hello Contortionist and Vola, I love you more than ever).
Love the idea of this list! I'd probably put Butt Rock a spot higher since it was super mainstream and many of those bands were huge (like it or not).
A E DUB
Yeah I meant the fact that the US govt used it to get people to sign their lives away is worth something right?
I’ve always considered Disturbed to be nu metal in my eyes. Their first 2 albums were definitely nu metal, and their 3rd album had a little bit of nu metal elements in it, but that’s when they started to change their sound.
Butt rock deserves a higher spot due to commercial success
Your right but why do they call it butt metal?
@@Antonjlavey It's because it's very basic music, not much to it, and also because a lot of the music really isn't very good
@@Antonjlavey because it's ass
Totally agree. I would probably B tier it. Maybe C tier at the lowest.
@@arpitdas4263 still way better than than p**** emo rap with face tats
I'm glad he didn't include prog metal so I didn't have to see him place that super low on the list
ahah same
Athough I love me some prog, but prog-metal would've probably been C or even D in my list - it's not super-influental, it never sold well and I'm not a fan of metal side of it/metal in general
My gentle heart couldn’t bear it
I'm a huge fan of "progressive-ness" in music
Opeth is my favorite metal band rn
That being said, I think "prog" in general is "music-theory-wankery" for me and most of the bands are not even progressive as Metallica imo
I'm also very glad he didn't rank Folk Punk cause I love it but I guess he would have to invent an even lower rank than the lowest
Prog Metal is for desk bangers and virgins
I'm not a metal fan by any means...in fact, other than ska and TRL core, i probably couldn't recognize one genre from the next...but, wow, your descriptions of the music these genres play drew me in and now im binge watching your videos. Awesome job, man.
“I’m putting butt rock at D” man that was a shot to the heart. I agree but damn, that still hurt.
Me: Sees ska in the D-tier *ANGER*
Me: Hears explanation "fair enough"
I think considering that plenty musicians in ska play really well they should get more credit.
And he didnt even Mention sublime ;(
The commercially successful ska bands were atrocious but there are probably like maybe 20 great ska bands... I honestly wouldn't stretch much further than that.
The only bit I feel was unfair was the "no new stuff" line - there's a lot of good new ska from the last decade! It just kinda gets ignored by most
Nu Metal is in S-Tier list
Me as a nu metal fan: KEEP ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN
C’MON!
@@quentinbringthenumetalchil5125 Yeaaah!
How many elitists are sticking fingers in their.. _Eeeeeeeeyes?_
I CANNOT say the word "rolling" in my everyday life without that playing in my head. Every. Single. Time.
Nu metal suckkk
Dude, love that you made this one interactive with the toer template. Genius.
Some of my favourite bands are like I, Prevail, Falling in Reverse, Eskimo Callboy, Fame on Fire and Wage War, which I consider 'post-hardcore'. Do you think that's just an umbrella term for genres like Metalcore? I get so confused with the amount of subgenres.
Post hardcore has been an umbrella term since the early 80s.
most of those bands are metalcore besides maybe fir.
Why isn't blackened-death-epic-sanctimony-core in here!? How are me and the other 2 guys in the fan club supposed to get through the day!? That's it! Ima tweet about this!
A-Dash Of-Pepper 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
That’s a good one, Broseph!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
When I saw Last Days Of Humanity, the vocalist just kind of sat on the stage looking like he was going to cry, there was bad feedback, and the vocal fx pedal (which was setup centre-stage) kept turning itself off mid-gurgle.
10/10 show overall.
that's not even 5% out of all the metal and punk genres.
Can you quote were he pretended listing every rock and metal genre ?
He is just doing a tier list for the one he talk the most about on his channel
There's also bands that are hard to pin down to a subgenre, but of course there's no way to rank that.
So many sub genres. I’m glad you’re here to sort it out. Now do a bands tier list for each of these genres listed here haha.
Feel like Easy Core could’ve been one letter higher based off A Day To Remember alone lol
I thought about it but 1 band can't hold the entire genre on it's back and outside of them easy core isn't exactly a headline act
it never fails to amaze me when i watch one of these videos from finn and his tastes are like the opposite of mine nearly 80% of the time. i personally only like one genre from the s and a tiers and im kinda glad he left out prog metal which i adore because knowing him it would be near the bottom even though it would do well on nearly all criteria which is the same for several genres he made too low on the list.
I'm definitely in that group of people that weirdly missed notifications for the last few weeks. Sucks big time, but I'm glad I searched for your channel and came across all you new (relatively) videos that I missed.
Epic chart btw.
Already knew that Nu metal was going to be an S - tier ranking due to how immensely popular and influential that genre was.
Nu Metal was the groundwork for all modern metal, without it we would have no downtuned guitars.
Luke Cowley so true. Like Korn is without a doubt one of the main, if not THE influence for extended range guitars in modern metal
Just watched a limp Bizkit live show from a few years ago on UA-cam and that shit still gets me going
Right!
Luke Cowley so Crowbar / Sleep didn’t play downtune ??
I unapologetically love mall screamo. Side note: Hesher includes the most underrated performances from both Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natalie Portman.
HUGE AGREE
Your humor really shines in this vid!
Great vid as always! 🤘🏻
Thumbs up for the grunge vocal impression
Would've been a lot harder if he tried to impersonate Cornell.
Eddie Vedder watch out, Finn is right behind you.
Bro idk why crabcore made it on b tier, seems like a way more obscure genre than “real punk”
Yeah that’s dumb. The Clash, The sex pistols, DK etc.. are massively influential and sold millions of records.
Most people in the scene don’t even know what crab core is
@@bengreenbank
Crabcore isn't even an actual genre, but a term that was coined to make fun of that dorky trend in Metalcore.
because it really wasn't that obscure it was actually massive. Like it or not it was hugely popular, even though it may have been a dorky trend yes, and even though it was a relatively short trend too (2009 to at the LATEST 2014), when it was here it was HUGE. By 2011-2012 it seemed like almost the entirety of the Warped Tour was nothing but crabcore bands.
@@ChrisCoignet still nuts to say a meme was more influential than.. actual punk. that's like saying gangnam style was more influential than sergeant peppers
@@ChrisCoignet It came and went in a blink of the eye. I made a crabcore joke to my girlfriend (who like hardcore-ish music around that time) and she had never even heard of it.
Think you forgot Hair Metal (Posion, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi) , Hard Rock (ACDC, Aerosmith, Van Halen) and Classis Metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest). All of them on the S tier for sure, they still sell out stadiums and arenas worldwide
You're description of power metal reaffirms my enjoyment of it. Muscular east European dude approaching me in the locker room? Sounds great!
Those were some extremely specific analogies lol
“Five dollars at the door or free admission if you buy a quesadilla” 😂
i would go to that show!
Where do Glassjaw, At The Drive In, Poison The Well fall?
I thought they were post Hardcore...
With that, do you put Deftones in the same category?
The fact that you included footage of both Mustard Plug and a band playing at Ralph's in Worcester, MA (during the Nu school OSDM part) makes this my favorite video you've done.
Also, the list is solid as hell and i can't really contend much of it. Though I look forward to seeing how my own tier list shakes out.
Hi Finn we are still waiting for the Thrice video. Nobody could make it better than you.. Or a podcast.. give us something lol. Stay safe
No mention of post-punk? Sure, it's old folks music, at this point, but it's super-influencial and still culturally relevant. Remember all those alt-rock, buzz bands from the early 2000s that totally aped Gang of Four and Joy Division? Plus, I hear a lot of Robert Smith in many emo/pop-punk vocalists and even the emo rappers. And I think Hot Topic will always seem to have Smiths, Cure, or JD represented on their t-shirt racks. It's at least a B tier.
Most of the Post-Punk Revivalists came from the 2000s UK Indie scene, mainly raved upon by the NME. The Libertines, Maximo Park, The Vaccines, The Futureheads, The Rakes, The Cribs, etc. A bit of a far cry to the bands featured on this video.
Power Metal is at least an A+ tier. Its a very well crafted kind of music and its very popular among the metal community. And very easy for a non metalhead to like It , cause of catchy chorus, riffs and melodies.
Absolutely nailed it bro! Interested to know where you would put like new school hardcore (Knocked Loose/ Code Orange/ Jesus Piece etc) ??
The thumbnail gives me life force. Then that intro was the right level of wtf to get me hooked. Reminds me of a jojo intro
ZA WARUDO
Although you're hating on my boy Power Metal, I really appreciate your work, man. You seem super genuine and that's super rare these days. ALSO, I swear to god we lived the exact same life, judging by some of the things you say haha
I absolutely love grunge and was super happy to see it here! I would love to see you mention it in more videos, too. (:
Never thought I’d live during a time where dungeon synth is... known? Lol I love it and I love your channel. Kill me with the melodeath placement. Saved it with the grunge placement. Please do a riot grrrl history!!
As an occasional attendee of “red state rock festivals” even though I live in California, I can say that there are a LOT of disturbed, godsmack, five finger death punch, and shinedown fans out there (especially shinedown), including me.
It strangely hurts to see Shinedown knocked down a peg but this shit keeps me humble.
Feel like you missed post hardcore but other than that it’s a pretty accurate list
"Mall Screamo" isn't an actual genre, so post-hardcore is rolled into what he was referring to as mall screamo along with all the other music from this same era (2001-2008) that was more pop-punk and/or alt-rock adjacent
@DansWarped This is the waaaa-aaa!
Being a bit of an old-school punk enjoyer kinda guy myself, I know for sure my list would look very different indeed.
Perhaps I should make my own list with my criteria without worrying about staying objective.
I truly appreciate your attitude about making this list and encouraging the viewer to disagree.
That casual background and look of your is so much better imho
I’m here for the intersection between memes and metal
upcoming video:
"How Nirvana changed Rock over night"
thx!
That's a really good title for a UA-cam video.
Cliché, but it works
I don't think they did
But everyone knows that story
We NEED this.
I was upset when Linkin Park popped up, but you really saved yourself there haha
This was helpful! I’m curious how you’d categorize goth rock and/or symphonic metal.
Probably the same as power metal, especially that symphonic metal has a lot of common musically with power metal, and he hates pure metal and classical stuff.
I love how at 13:42 its a scene from Ace ventura
The "example" track that was playing during the deathcore segment (at 15:41) is "Unanswered" by Suicide Silence.
_Also,_ that style of singing (described at 16:51) commonly found in grunge, post-grunge, butt rock, etc.-popularized by singers like Eddie Vedder, Gavin Rossdale, and so forth is actually called *"yarling".*
Came to the comments just for that song, bless you

What band is shown during the power metal section
I had to Shazam it. Frozen Crown - "Neverending"
"Probably gonna hurt some butts here"
Guess you could call me...
Butt hurt.
Nah but pretty fair I'm into that midwest emo stuff but anytime I show a friend they look at me like I killed a dog.
You probably have, if you play it loud enough they’ll be diving under buses!👊
well, american football does come off as pretty satanic
"that's life...so social"
the movie clip at 10:23 is from Stand By Me if anyone was wondering
Holy shit. That is an almost perfect chart of influence and success. Tried to figure something like this out for years and got stuck on any single band that made an impact either on tthe scene or myself or a specific genre. Well, quantification is much simpler as it seams.
I’m usually stingy with likes and comments but you’ve earned both by including footage from The Unseen in your video. My favorite band from when I was in middle school.
I love ska. And I laughed out loud as soon as he said Macaulay Culkin
Your description of ska has me rolling. Love it.
I think you're spot on. Good Job
S-Tier was painful to look at by the end
Aka the most commercial genres. That's what the video is, not best or worst.
I assumed the trendy X logos were inspired by outdoors/survival. Finn done learned me.
Thank you for using a scene from Hesher to depict the thrash metal scene. That is one of my favorite movies and that is a perfect visual for the genre.
Melodic death metal is pretty much just power metal but heavy and I love it.
True.
It’s like 80’s Heavy Metal but more badass.
As someone who lives near Seattle that Everett reference killed me 😂
Same! My brother's band frequently plays there.
I absolutely love his Washington references he throws in haha. I live in Burlington, which I think most people who live in Washington don't know where Burlington is. I'm waiting for my Burlington reference though! Even if it's a wait thats eternal!
@@danielnelson4881 I live in Burlington too. Not much going on here...
I can't get over how great the face is in the thumbnail... 😂😂😂
Finn, I really wanna see some kind of analysis on why bands of mystery make such waves in the scene. Slipknot, GWAR, Ghost, Mushroomhead, Sleep Token....all these bands have severely dedicated followers yet some dont even know who the members are. Is the magic in the mask? Or is it just the simple mystery of these artists that carries the full interest. I love your analysis videos man, they are absolutely stellar. Stay metal.
Love it. Super unbiased. Great video!
