as a gen z, i apologise in advance
also as a gen z, i too apologize in advance
As I Millenial I apologize we failed yall so miserably
as a gen x, I chuckle in amazement.
as a gen z metalhead, we apologize
I would also like to apologize
Yeah most of the video is cringe but these kids seemed like they actually enjoyed most of these songs. So i welcome them with open arms
such a waste of potential, you could have welcomed them with Arms Wide Open...
I'll see myself out.
@@mariocastillo8334This comment made me “Jumpdafup” and want to break stuff, but I felt like I was Blind all the sudden, but in the end, I was fine because I was with you. (This is terrible, I know)
That's the thing abou these react videos. The kids are very open to everything. They're never shitting on what they're listening to.
WITH ARMS WIDE OPEEEENNN
@@silverhawkroman I was about to correct him too hahahaha
Thank you Noah for holding down the fort for Smosh
didn’t expect my two worlds to collide like this
Literally coming to this video after watching the newest episode of smosh mouth lol. Instantly had a fear he was going to get roasted by nik
@@nickparsons3194same actually
Not surprised the most based person on the video got it
Bro i havent watched Smosh since it was Smosh idk like 15 years ago? Fuck lol
"Who was your favorite?"
"LIMP BIZKIT!"
Literally everyone in the 90's
That girl was really digging his "Dad Vibes". There's hope for these children.
I still remember pulling up to my first major concert and hearing "Rollin" playing from the ACC in Toronto and feeling so hyped, haha.. Summer Sanatarium, baby!
They fell off😭
Im shocked that deftones or early sevendust isnt in this video. Ill always have a soft spot for this genre. Im more of a modern metalcore person now but nu metal will always be in my heart
As a gen Z member, what the fuck is Sevendust
@@sharing64tacos Look it up! 😂
Sevendust is so f*cking underrated. Definitely should be there.
Deftones have some good songs... specially on the album 'Around the Fur'...
And I like SOAD, they're really good...
But besides that, I don't really care too much for the Nü Metal era, tbh...
@@sharing64tacos as a gen X-er I must admit that I've heard of them, but I've never heard anything by them ..
I actually DIDN'T want to gouge my eyes out watching this. I'm shocked.
This actually wasnt so bad as I expected
I did halfway metaphorically.
As a fellow angsty 16 year old gen z core kid, im sorry. Please forgive our generation’s foolishness.
As gen Z, honestly half these bands i haven't listened to
I agree with this statement. We beg for your forgiveness 🥲
Look... I'm older than you and if you know System of a Down, a few songs of Deftones and Korn, you don't need to know more... 99% of Nü Metal is pure garbage...
As someone who is an 18 year old nu metal was my introduction to metal and that where I fell in love with the genre I be heard of most bands here but a few I would question as nu metal
It's the same think as saying "Forgive me for being a man".
Older Gen Z here with a sibling born in 1991; this was a tad painful, yeah. But it's really nice to see younger people getting into Nu Metal/older music in general. I say good for them!
WHEEZE
OLDER MUSIC
I feel so OLD
@batmansmith7422 Slowly glances at CDs on bookshelf... oh no. I'm an old, too!
I was born in '01, my siblings are 2006 and 2011. It wasn't as painful for me because I here this pretty much every day lol
@@batmansmith7422Beethoven: That's cute.
I'm confused when you say older Gen Z with a sibling born in 91. You're saying you're from the first few years of Gen Z and your sibling born in 91 is older?
I love that somebody mentions Anthony from Smosh and then boom, Noah from Smosh.
I really didn't hate this one. I like watching people react to metal and actually enjoy themselves and that's what this video was.
Ah yes, my favourite songs from the 1990s: Bring me to life, Chop Suey and Down with the sickness
But these not from the 90’s
@@jovanies9751 thats the joke. r/woosh
@@ADI-dp3bpNot Reddit but I'll let it slide.
Is it sad that I heard down with the sickness for the first time from South Park
@@djbob5397 Nah, I'll let it slide because I love South Park truly one hell of a show.
"TOONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER!!!"
Close, kid. I think you're mixing up THPS with NFS, that or Static X with Powerman 5000, but there's folk who were there when the deep memes were written who wouldn't remember Powerman 5000
I love Powerman 5000 but I have come to know them through WWE "The Dudley Boys" :D
Which nfs? I cant remember it
@@jeffoenami3023nfs most wanted
Oh man, Powerman 5000!!! The Son Of X51 was sweet!
@@yeahboi2177 SKIIIIIIIIINYYYYYYYY MAAAAAAAAAAAAN
You can't blame them. It's like making fun of someone for not knowing about things you know. Like I can rock to nu metal but I know Jack shit about it
Especially for such a somewhat “niche” genre I’d call it. It has had a recent boom and I think majority of gen z would still know some of these, especially the meme songs as well as the more popular bands like Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit and all. I don’t know shit about nu metal either lol. I know all of these songs and the artists and love them, listen to them near every day regularly in the car, but I absolutely did not know some of them were considered nu metal
They do not speak for all of us (sincerely, a gen-z metal head)
agreed, as another gen z metalhead
I wouldn't want more than to not be bunched up with those cringe factors. It hurts physically.
Another gen z metal head here.
@@calebengland77 I mean… even if you can’t play the guitar it doesn’t make you a poser…
People thinking they’re special because they listen to nu metal and some people don’t
The part where the kid calls Fred Durst “Limp Bizkit” almost killed me from laughter yesterday
I always feel like genz is 2 different generations slapped together
Most accurate shit I’ve ever seen as the old generation of genz
I think that's technically every generation. Trying to create a clean line of cultural demarcation based on arbitrary age ranges doesn't really work. I'm an older millennial, aka a "xennial," which is considered a "microgeneration."
@@SuzakuXi feel like specifically in this case tho there's a rift between kids that went to school with social media on their phones and the ones that had to wait until they were home to use the internet
The fine bros really have to get better at writing scripts for these kids tbh
Fine brother no longer own react channel they resign
Electric monster media now own react channel
They do a fantastic job in enraging nu metal boomers and gen z kids that think they are special for liking soad
These videos are pure ragebait, just look at the comments on this video and see how well it worked
The Fine Bros no longer are associated with React. Good riddance to both of them.
@@arturoromero951 Besides the fact that they are greedy assholes, they were a lot better at getting reactions
I'm so glad my dad (and sort of my mom) are metalheads. Being birn in 2000 I was brought up on Sabbath, Metallica, Korn, Pantera, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, KSE, Godsmack, etc. First band/genre to get me into heavier music was the Seattle Grunge scene specifically Soundgarden. Fast forward to today and my favorite bands are Opeth, Gojira, and Mastodon. "Favorite" genre is death metal (more prog/tech side) and have started getting into black metal a little bit (Ihsahn rules!). I have my uncle to thank for the death/black metal thing. Grunge kid to semi-core kid/thrash kid, to any metal teen to any metal, but death leaning adult. Also, I have you to thank for getting me into Spiritbox (one of my favorites) and other metalcore and adjacent bands (also one of my all time favorite techdeath bands, Archspire) so thanks Nik!
good taste bro
The guy that did the Korn sounds and the oh-wahahaha did pretty great, actually!
Compared to other Gen Z reacts to different genres, at least this one had them receptive to our genre. I’m used to way more embarrassing moments.
Surprisingly proud 34 year old here.
2:03.... I already hate this.
Don't fall for the ragebait bro 😂
@@ImRollingEmi fell for it…… years ago
no one should be THAT excited for Limp Bizkit
The people at Woodstock '99 would beg to differ
🗣 bRiNg iT oN, cHoColAtE sTaRfIsH!!!
😂😂😂😂
Yes they should
tbh.. im a millenial and LB still kicks
The worst part is specially the vocals, the lyrics and the scratching... that sucks, tbh... xD
The drummer was good, the guitarrist and the bassist weren't bad...
But that semi-yelling perpetual voice crack of Fred Durst is soooo... ufff... xD 😅
🗣 aNd tHe hOt dOg fLaVoUrEd wHaTeR!!!
This one hurt in my meow meow... I feel so old. I remember Hybrid Theory being the first CD i ever got, was for christmas from my parents. Had to fight so ahrd for it because my big brother tried to convince my parents that this music was not suited for a 11-year-old (well,...). I listened to this CD for months on loop. Such great times.
You fought so hard and got so far!
Nah this comment was cringier than the video…
for real just the first 10 words are cringe alert 100@@adamcogan211
"penis666100" 😭
I still can't believe Hybrid Theory was Linkin Park's DEBUT ALBUM! What a legendary way to debut.
I'm on the older side of Gen Z, 24 years old, and stuff like this makes ME feel old lol.
Gen-z doing the same word association as Nik when we doing the "guess the song" One of them, One of them, One of them.
This went better than expected
I've seen this video on Finn Mckenty's channel. This is hilarious.
Seeing Nik cringe is hilarious too.
2:32 WAIT WHY IS NOAH FROM SMOSH HERE ?? HE'S 27 HE'S THE SAME AGE AS NIK
96 babies are technically the oldest gen Z kids. 95 is millennials.
watching the rest of the video, it's so funny to hear him call Noah "this kid" not knowing they are the same age lmao
@@joshuasmith4643 Gen Z is from 1997 to 2012. Noah was born in February '97 so he's gen z
@@EMMZU And if I'm not mistaken, so is Nik, so that's pretty ironic
@@joshuasmith4643 96 is considered millennial. 97 is the start of Z
only my homie noah getting the songs lmao
Not as bad as i had imagined. Sure they know the song from memes or tiktok, but atleast they knew and I wouldn't expect them to know al of them.
6:36
Gen Z Kid: "That was so dope!"
Nik's Internal Monologue: "Edsel Dope? huehuehue"
Every time that Nick Just FREEZE and STOP... I Just LMAO
Love the thumbnail because it's exactly me and the same way how I had had my face looking down on them when it came to millennials and whoever reacted to the old bands 5 to 10 years ago.
And so history repeats itself with them and then Gen Alpha, god I am not prepared for that and never will be.
That Sports video game comment at the end was way too accurate💯. MX vs ATV, WWE, and SSX introduced me go so many bangers. I was just reminiscing the other day about being a kid and listening to Bat Country while playing SSX on tour for hours on end 🔥
I'm a 97' baby (The very first year starting of Gen Z) and Nu-Metal is my favorite sub-genre of metal. (KoRn, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Static-X, Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Adema(with Mark Chavez), Staind(early on atleast they had Nu-Metal Elements), Deftones, P.O.D,. S.O.A.D., Godsmack, Drowning Pool(especially "Sinner" album) Evanescence and Flyleaf(atleast their first projects), and probably a few dozen more.) These are definitely later Gen Z kids who have only been exposed to these songs due to tik-tok and other socials, where as I grew up on this stuff and all of those bands I've listened to their whole discographies through and through. Funny vid tho Nik. 😂🔥🔥
PS. I hate and have never used Tik-Tok. Spiritually and in many ways I consider myself a Millienial tbh, I mean what's a year difference really? lol
@@1ViivviiX1 There is no difference. It all has to do with culture and maturity.
@@the_obamium_bender9312 not really sure what you're referring to there being no difference about.
you put linkin park twice lol
@@limitless_valley aye, good eye, I didn't notice. It's fixed now. Thanks.
It's crazy how things change so fast with social media..makes me sad😢
generation alpha here haha
and I love death metal and death core
don't give up hope Nik!
there are people out there!
Not your usual metal but you should definitely check out Utsu-P. Japanese metal producer that uses vocaloids (yes, Hatsune Miku for example) for singing and screaming. Good starting points are "Vulgar", "Ga" and "Bizarre Food". I think they will surprise you.
Nik born in 96 is an old GenZ just saying
Generally 96 is considered the last year of the Millenials
hes a millenial and miles away from some of these 15 year olds kids
1996 is last year of late millennial. 1997 and above is early Gen Z / Zillenials
Yes Gen Z starts end of 1995, it's always when Pluto change signs. Every generation is sorted by Pluto shifts if you take a closer look. I consider people from 1995 to 1997 somewhat a hybrid tho, Zillenials. They understand most Millenials references. But please, people saying he's miles away from 15 year-old kids .. do you know generations last between 12 to 24 years ? Some think it's 5 years or so haha. Surely Millenials from 1984 will be different from Millenials from 1992. It's an 8-year gap and so many techlology and stuff happened during this time. The 80s and 90s were really changing a lot by every year. That's why you can spot someone's birth year just by asking precise stuff about tv shows, movies, trends, etc that you only did in a limited time frame
@@mats7492yeah bro 1 year is miles away 😂. You don’t have to idolize him that hard, you can admit the fact that he might as well be gen z
Haha, mentioning Lime Wire in the last breath of this video is hilarious 😂
my spine was an icicle for this entire video, i wish i could go back 10 minutes and one second in time
You gotta fix that cringe barometer of yours. Really wasnt that bad
@@clandon9624 maybe you’re just superhuman dude
@@sparda_ maybe so. But I tend to think of myself as someone who cringes easily
Need for Speed is the wrong answer for Push It by Static-X. it was in Street Sk8er 2 on PS1
i think "the only" was on need for speed
@@schippes24In Underground 1, yep - Skinnyman was in Most Wanted
As a member of Gen Z, who loves numetal, I did not hate this video, but I do feel bad that they didn't know them that much.
I love that Noah from Smosh saved us and the fact that one of the first two girls said something about Linkin Park reminding her of Young Anthony Padilla.
These are the best😂 thanks Nik for enduring long enough to react. Much love, boo!❤
Already waiting for “Gen ^|>,+] React to Skibidi Toilet”
Most vile garbage in the world
When dude did the Korn voice, I almost recruited him to my non-existent nu metal band.
im a minute and 33 seconds into the damn video, and i never felt that much pain in my life!! i dont know if i want to keep watching this
I like these reaction videos in which people are reacting to people that are reacting to people that react to something.
2:05 To be fair I was on the Linkin Park Underground around the Minutes to Midnight era and there were a few people in the chatrooms back there which were scene kids.
The dude pulling a Scott Stapp in the chorus of Chop Suey had me wheezing. And at the very least these kids know the bands and/or songs from this era much better than I initially thought they would've.
I'm so very thankful for this video bc watching it has given me an excuse to take a medical leave of absence from work
This one cut deep man.
We'll convert one to Lorna soon enough.
This is gonna be so good. Finn could only get halfway hahah
Watching you react to this made the video even funnier
8 seconds into that video and I bled from my eyes
In all fairness, Jaxson, the kid that has the record player t shirt, is actually a good dude. He actually knows his stuff and is not a ret@$d tool like 99% of the gen z kids they use on these. He actually did an interview with Tank the Tech and it was really good.
Yes but also no
This hurts my soul
That must have been painful to experience.. i feel sorry for you honestly
I saw that video several times in my feed, but didn't have the emotional support necessary to click on it. Thank you for sharing this pain with us, and help us through this tough moment
That was better than I thought it was gonna be. The kids might be alright!
3:01 That's Noah Grossman from Smosh. He's 27 years old and was born in 1997, so he's on the edge of being a millenial.
2:07 hahaha your face ... priceless!!!!
Bro from Smosh is here! Never doubted Noah had good taste
as a 2000 kid I do not wanna associate with this generation anymore.
same bro same
The black jacked dude knew all, by tip of his tongue. I bet he was raised with lots of metal by proud metal head parents
Great video man. The “hellyeah” during the Godsmack song part really made me feel like we could be good buddies ha.
to sit and watch this video with you i am going to be playing Lincoln Park in the background to calm myself.
As it should be, Bizkit takes the cake. Thank you z dudes
This was pretty funny. That Asian girl was down and I'm almost jealous that now she's gonna get to hear all of this other stuff for the first time.
Why did you make me watch that nik. I trusted you.
Ok now this is fun things!!
it actually went less worse than i expected
That was pretty cool tbh. I kinda had no hope.
i just... feel you brother...
This was one of the best react videos from that Chanel! It was really funny, the kids enjoyed Nu Metal and I didn‘t hate any of the kids! 😂 Hahaha!
I honestly don't understand people in the comments.
Teenagers in the video: enjoying nu metal
People in the comments: "OMG, tHis iS sUcH a crIngE, I’m sO soRry fOr mY gEnErATioN!"
You're just a bunch of gatekeepers
Finally someone said it
100% this. I don't get it. They enjoyed it and even knew lots of songs
@@viridisspielt remember - fun is not allowed
This is the consequence of people going “eeEEewWWwwW an EMO”
Yo this actually gives me some hope, they knew more than I thought AND they dug it (digged?)
I guess it’s not all of us then. Late teens but consistent .05% Slipknot and Korn listener. I’ll never understand some of them but oh well.
2:20 i died a little inside
It’s times like this where I doubt if I’m really too old to be part of gen z
Bro im 14 and I love this music , and keep up the good work.
Evanescence was pretty Nu Metal on their biggest album (Fallen).
Yeah, there's no rapping or samplers, just bands like Mudvayne and Coal Chamber (even Korn most of the time) are also Nu Metal and they don't have these elements either.
So I'd call Evanescence as an Alt. Metal band overall
As a gen z I do not apologize, they did pretty good on knowing it nu metal things considered, but as a proggy boi I've accepted a band like periphery will never get widespread appreciation. Can we talk about how crazy it is that system of a down got as hugely popular as they did as a political alt-metal band though?
We live for your pain, Nik. Its a source of amusement in an otherwise grey existence. 😂
Not what I expected
I think the acting was a bit exaggerated, but still funny - I survived it xD
I’m ready to be angry
Oh that made me feel ancient.
Nik comes off a grizzled corekid in this video and he ain't even thirty 😂
As a 16 year old, super into literally ANY type of metal, im so so very sorry for this trash generation. I will not let 80s, 90s or 2000s music ever die. Thanks for the dope music ❤
As a 17, I'm so sorry for them and I want to apologize even more for the cringe you've just faced
I literally Felt like Nick during the video - what up chat we gotta spread the Metal vibes to new generations...
This hurt me on every level
Visible pain on nicks face
4:39 A part of my metal heart shattered. How DARE YOU?!
That was indeed painful to watch but at the same time shows there is some hope among gen z!
Nik, check out Despite Exile- Disrupt. Don’t sleep on the italians!
That Jaxon kid literally doing the intro for Twist lmao!!!
