Slipknot fans, look away: your favourite band is about to be torn to shreds by a group of teenagers.
Famous for their cutting edge approach to heavy metal, Slipknot were a big deal back in late 90s and early 2000s.
For most millennials, the 2000s don't seem that long ago. But for today's teenagers, if you were born in the 90s, you are basically an old man.

YouTube channel REACT presented eight of Slipknot's most famous songs to a group of kids, and they are, unsurprisingly, not impressed in the slightest.
The teenagers got to listen to 'Wait And Bleed', 'Left Behind', 'Before I Forget', 'Duality', 'Psychosocial', 'The Devil In I', 'Unsainted' and 'The Dying Song'.
"Is this The Purge?" one boy questioned when taking a listen to the first song, with someone else adding: "They're scary, I don't get the masks."

Another was wondering: "Why are they screaming."
I can only apologise to Slipknot fans out there, because it's about to get a lot worse.
When 'Left Behind' came on, one of the kids was utterly horrified as the music video shows someone removing their brain.

"This is like ugly," one of the kids remarked.
"I don't like it. Don't yell at me, I listen to Taylor Swift," another teen admitted.
As the 'Before I Forget' music video plays, one teenager thinks: "They must have like a little bit of concussion. I feel like your brain is going a lot of shaking."
It seems that 'The Dying Song' was, quite literally, the final nail in the coffin, as the teenagers were utterly stunned by the music video.

"It hurts my eardrums," one kid shouted, while another one added: "This music video needs like an epilepsy warning."
As you can imagine, Slipknot fans in the comments were quick to defend their favourite band.
One fan commented: "Dude talking about they need a therapy class. The music IS the therapy."

"This generation is screwed," another added.
A third person controversially thought: "And then they are out there hyping up [Jeffrey] Dahmer, I can't..."
"Gen Z are so woke they are still sleeping! Embarrassing listening to their whining voices is so cringeworthy," a fourth person wrote.
Someone else commented: "Unfortunately the youth of today are a lot more scared and frail than all the previous ones."
Whatever side you're on, it's safe to say that Slipknot fans were very triggered.
