I really like this take, it kinda encapsulates exactly the sweaty cis het white metal heads that went to my school perfectly.

I really like the point he makes about hip hop and metal being a safe space for men to be vulnerable and let their emotions out.

    In the 70s and into the 80s Daddy Rob Halford gave heavy metal its own official dress code. He was a closeted gay man and who was deeply into BDSM and incorporated that into [Judas Priest’s] on-stage persona.

    Which means if you listen to this shit, and dress this way, you are, in fact, gay. Full stop. Welcome.

      Such a good line, and his youtube shorts ALWAYS have a based bit of text over drums. He’s so cool 😭😭😭
