Video: Parents React to Extreme Metal

While there’s certainly nothing new about videos that feature older folks reacting to young person things, they’re still usually good for at least a chuckle. And so it is with “Parents React to Extreme Metal Music,” which is exactly what it sounds like it is.

This particular clip finds several couples watching music videos by Behemoth, Architects, Arch Enemy, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Animals As Leaders, The Black Satans, Lady Baby, Nekrogoblikon, Signs of Swarm and Attack, Attack, so the creators of the video really ran the gamut in terms of metal styles. The parents’ reactions are more or less what you’d expect — lots of “I can’t understand what he’s saying!” kinda stuff — but props are in order for the one dude who clearly grew up on metal and is loving every minute of the experience.
