Hip-Hop Head REACTS to FALLING IN REVERSE - "Popular Monster" 

“The difference between this and a lot of rap nowadays is...this is good.” Well someone had to say it.

Rap, screamo and melodic singing? Now that’s what you call talent.

I feel this hits on mental health. I mean he mentions ptsd and other indictors of depression and suicidal.

The song is literally about his depression cycle.

“‘Popular Monster’ is the voice inside my head, hoping you will listen,” says Radke. “It’s the story of a hero that’s been falsely accused and torn down by society. It shows what happens when you get pushed too far. You become exactly what they say you are, exactly what they want you to be: a monster.”

i would love to hear what you guys think of this song! drop a comment, like the video,..... and fuck it! give someone a compliment in the comments! i love you guys so much and am so grateful for each and every one of you! love yall!!! Definitely got the memo that this song is about depression when I was editing! It’s hard to get the meaning to the song right away especially when the music has you in a trance. The whole depression is a “phase” makes so much more sense now!!

The best part is the mini freak out you had after you yelled during the fight scene

No One: What kind of genre is this? Ronnie: *YES*

Dude, Ronnie Radke reacted to your reaction on his twitch

Dude, the meaning is simple. Depression. It is the most "popular monster" to affect people, the demon he sees in the eyes of the broken as he walks around, it's all the same monster, depression, that drives them downward. It's also about Ronnies constant battle with depression and how no one really seems to understand that his depression isn't a phase it doesn't just go away with time. You may beat it back for months or even years but it comes back time and again to drag you back down. Once you've been there you will be back, there truly is no permanent escape from the world's most popular monster. The man is a master of digging up the pain and emotion that crosses boundaries while resonating with people and putting it to killer music lol

Falling in reverse - losing my life You will love the crap out of it.

I've been listening to this song for 2 days on repeat, I'm aDDICTED

They have a song called Self Destruct Personality, and it hits hard and Ronnie Speed Scream Raps in it.

“Crashed my car just to feel again” gives me the chills every time.

When it transitioned to the metal, the look on your face was like a little kid at Christmas opening the gift he always wanted 😂

"When a demon defiles a witch" by Whitechapel, we won't give up requesting 'cause we know you'll LOVE IT!

"this is much heavier than drugs" LOL

I feel like this is a song that caters to a lot of peoples musical taste. I love that Ronnie can combine genres like he does. I swear there is nothing he can't do. The man can sing, growl, scream and rap (sometimes all at one frickin time)... He's a musical genius 😁

I’ve never noticed before but Ronnie has so much talent with his voice. He’s really versatile. I’ve been listening to Ronnie since he was with escape the fate but haven’t heard much of falling in reverse. He’s insanely talented

when i stumbled across this song and heard the first verse i thought 'dang this hits way too close to home' amazing song

AFTER THE BURIAL - Lost in the Static

I am a classially trained choir director who has always hated rap. This song has me mesmerised! Just wow! Incredible talent.

Popular: known by many Monsters: depression, anxiety, ptsd, etc

The sheer joy and enthusiasm on your face at the first chorus then the jaw-dropping at the bridge is just everything. You truly make me smile, man.

He posted on twitter basically saying if you are going through depression or anxiety that you are not alone and it was referring to this song. He’s struggled with addiction and depression for a long time and he has a few other songs referring to this, worth checking out more of their stuff! They are great live too, man!

You’ve gotta listen to their songs “I’m not a vampire”,” Raised by wolves “, and “Brother”!!

The amount of excitement I just had seeing this post to this song is embarrassing since I’m at the gym and yelled yes!!! 😅 love this song 🤘🏼🤘🏼

The song is a masterpiece,the chorus unreal,the video a awesome performance

This man Ronnie, is absolutely insane crazy talented. He breaks the mold for what music should be. Keep on rippin R.R. 🤘🤘

Rap, Clean Voice, Scream, Breakdown? That's is what we call "Talent", Nice work of Art Ronnie ❤️

Bullet For My Valentine - Hand of Blood

"Chelsea's Smile" by Bring Me The Horizon

This song is about mental health, depression, etc. that’s why he says “Everybody tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase. I don't know if it's a phase, I just wanna feel okay” then continues to talk about depression and PTSD. The phase part has nothing to do with listening to metal or wearing all black and standing out. Lol

Who's ready to have Alex react to Ronnie Radke when he was back in Escape the Fate. For example Escape the Fate - Situations?

I love this song too. I honestly feel like I could sing this with my soul. It's really talking about mental health issues, and how therapists want to put off us we're just going through phases. I'm glad you are loving the rock music man. I've got plenty of suggestions for you.

You may also really like Hollywood Undead's newest songs, Already Dead and Time Bomb.

2:25 if this wasn’t everyone’s reaction lmao

This is honestly one of the best songs ive heard of 2019. So many different tones put into a song, plus the production is incredible. Say what you want about Ronnie, but he really is a musical genius.

I was a die hard fan of falling in reverse when i was in highschool, i seen them like 6 times in concert but i kinda strayed away from them alot because i started getting into rap alot more but when i heard this song it sucked me right back in

his reaction about that cop getting impaled is really priceless..

In my opinion, metal and rap harmonize very well with each other ❤ I love metal and rock but songs like this are amazing ❤❤❤

Yes you reacted to it🤘🏻Ronnie is a genius with lyrics he been through a lot but he has turned stuff around. So glad you loved it!!🖤

Does anyone else really love and get hyped when you're waiting for a premiere so you're not looking and alex's intro starts playing lol

Apparently Ronnie Radke has reacted to you reacting to this song. I had no luck finding it. But you might. If you do find it, please make a reaction of his reaction to your reaction 😱😝😂

Thanks for reaction! 🔥 Atmospheric background by the way)

I was waiting on your reaction to this. Glad i waited 🔥

U know a song is sick when a reactor forgets to pause almost all the track

Starset- my demons. Red- pieces. BMTH- suicide season. August burns red-cutting the ties. Shadow of intent- the heretic prevails. We came as romans- to move on is to grow. Crown the empire- machines. The ghost inside- faith or forgiveness. Breaking benjamin-angels fall. Linkin park-iridescent. Parkway drive- carrion. Emmure- we were just kids. Funeral for a friend-roses for the dead. Falling in reverse losing my life and losing my mind. It goes on and on :)

I always find myself coming back to dis. It's so crazy to imagine Popular Monster blew up like it did

Ice Nine Kills - IT is the end ; A Day to Remember - Resentment

Easily the best song they've put out The genre-fluidity is genuinely so impressive Now do Ludens Alex, we been waiting son

Nine ice kills -IT is the end

Hey Alex, love your content not only for the genuine reaction and point of view on the subject matter, but also the positive vibes!

The best part about this reaction is that you're losing it to this song and she's in the background not knowing what's going on because you have headphones on 😂😂

I've had this song on repeat for a week now😂

This song represents some of the stuff that he’s been through, like a lot of Falling in Reverse’s songs. He ties in some issues and bad times throughout a lot of his music, it’s a way to express how he felt. He has a song called fair-weathered fans that kinda explains this

Still mising Losing my life and Losing my mind

"Rolling Stone"- Falling in Reverse

Man I'm not gonna lie. I'm 34 years old and honestly this is the best song in my lifetime. And the crazy part about that is I've only discovered the song and band within the past week. The song is truly epic, and lastly, I can actually feel the emotion in the lyrics and his voice, especially in the final chorus. I'm just so blown away. i'm literally saying wow or damn every time I hear the song.

That in-laws check was priceless

React to A DAY TO REMEMBER - RESENTMENT

Now you've gotta check out their classic stuff like The Drug In Me Is You.

Bring me the Horizon - Ludens

After reading the lyrics I see a depression cycle being explained.

The one armed dead cop hitting the ground on beat at 4:37 .... priceless.

Lyrics: Yeah, I wake up every morning With my head up in a daze I’m not sure if I should say this F**k, I’ll say it anyway Everybody tries to tell me That I’m going through a phase I don’t know if it’s a phase I just wanna feel okay, yeah I battle with depression But the question still remains Is this post-traumatic stressing Or am I suppressing rage And my doctor tries to tell me That I’m going through a phase Yeah, it’s not a f**king phase I just wanna feel okay Ok yeah, I struggle With this bulls**t every day And it’s probably ’cause my demons Simultaneously rage And it obliterates me Disintegrates me Annihilates me ‘Cause I’m about to break down Searching for a way out I’m a liar, I’m a cheater I’m a non-believer I’m a popular, popular monster I break down, falling into love now With falling apart I’m a popular, popular monster I think I’m going nowhere Like a rat trapped in a maze Every wall that I knocked down Is just a wall that I replace I’m gonna race against myself And try to keep a steady pace How the f**k will I escape If I never close my case Oh my God, I keep on stressing Every second that I waste Is another second sooner To a blessing I won’t take But my therapist won’t tell me That I’m going through a stage Yeah, it’s not a f**king stage I just wanna feel okay, okay Ok motherf**ker Now you got my attention I need to change a couple things ‘Cause something is missing And what if I were to lie Tell you everything is fine Every single f**king day I get closer to the grave I am terrified I fell asleep in the world again Crashed my car just to feel okay Obliterate me Disintegrate me Annihilate me ‘Cause I’m about to break down Searching for a way out I’m a liar, I’m a cheater I’m a non-believer I’m a popular, popular monster I break down, falling into love now With falling apart I’m a popular, popular f**king monster Yeah, here we go again, motherf**ker, oh We’re sick and tired of wondering Praying to a God that you don’t believe You’re searching for the truth in the lost and found So the question I ask is, oh Where the f**k is your God now ‘Cause I’m about to break down Searching for a way out I’m a liar, I’m a cheater I’m a non-believer I’m a popular, popular monster I break down, falling into love now With falling apart I’m a popular, popular monster I’m a liar, I’m a cheater I’m a non-believer I’m a popular, popular monster…

Would highly suggest bring me the horizons recent song ludens it's fantastic!

Bring Me The Horizon’s newest song Ludens! They did it in part for a new video game that just came out called Death Stranding

This song is so relatable to what im going through right now and in understand the feel of wanting to be ok amazing alex thanks for introduction to this band keep up the great work

Alex in the lyrics it talks about depression and PTSD.

The songs is of ronnie his life and how he feels he puts his emotion in his songs

Next reaction idea: Hollywood Undead - Day of the dead

Please react to This War is Ours by Escape The Fate 🙏🏻

If you want to see the "Storyline", watch them in order: 1.) Losing My Mind 2.) Losing My Life 3.) Drugs 4.) Popular Monster

Ronnie never fails to amaze me with his music

RED - Faceless or Feed the Machine

How have you not done “losing my life”. That’s their best song to me

I love the new song so much🙏🏻

You know this song talks about mental illness and the struggles that we as those who have a mental illness struggle with every single day. I did a cover of this just earlier today and you can definitely hear it in my voice. you can definitely hear the story with in it

Ronnie is and always has been the man. Dude seriously got me through rehab, and years of therapy while I was still active duty. That was like 2013. I met him a few years ago, and dude is nothing like most think. He's just a very focus and determined person who gets highly annoyed at the stupidity that gets in his way. All I'm saying is, checkout some of his older stuff. Even from back in ETF. Not for reaction vids, but just for personal listening. Some of it is a little pop-ish, but theres great songs on every album.

The popular monster I’m guessing is the depression and anxiety that takes multiple life’s away from amazing artists . Good song

“If you can appreciate this then I’m sure you can start to appreciate rap” me: no I’m here for the chorus and the breakdown

BRING. ME. THE. HORIZON. LUDENS. PLEASE. Also: I love how close your reaction to Popular Monster was to mine. Has been on repeat ever since. WHAT. A. SONG!

I’m so glad they’re finally getting some damn respect

Never been a huge fan of rap, but always enjoy Ronnie's rap

IMO It's a complete masterpiece. If you know Linkin Park and Starset, this song is the perfect mix of their style. The rap is like the feeling when you are getting full of anger slowly. Like when you are in a fight with your GF or something lol, or just when life keeps getting harder and harder and your inside voice is just rising and then reaches the top. Then you arrive to the chorus which is the, in my country we have a saying maybe it's familiar in other countries too, but it's hard translation is "The glass is full", meaning you reached your full level of furiosity and you start yelling and screaming. The chorus is completely this level. Then after you let it out, comes the rap's second part, when you start as calm, but shit keeps happening again and you are just getting full again. Then 2nd chorus when you let it out and we arrive to the 3rd part and end chorus which is the complete madness level when your life is a complete mess. So yea, in feelings it is much like Linkin Park's Faint or Numb, both were based a little on this, especiall Faint imo. I hope they will continue on this style because with the voice of this guy they could really reach a very high fan base.

Volumes - Edge of the Earth

NEW SONG: From A Day To Remember “Resentment”

I LOVE watching people who generally don’t listen to this genre react to it. ESPECIALLY when they are completely blown away. This made my shitty day so much better.

You are absolutely right, since hearing this song it has been on repeat any chance i get to listen to it.

Ronnie Radke the vocalist from Falling in reverse. reacted to your video

Peep some old Escape the Fate with Ronnie. See where his roots come from.

Liked this before it even premiered. Alex is gonna love this !!

I love that moment when you stop headbanging and got surprised how awesome is this song

At first i thought this was another channel, who would completly play the song and than doesn't add anything of value. But after watching the video completly, i was pleasently surprised by the amazing lyrical breakdown. Awesome work!! And you are a 100% right, this song bangs!!!

please do one song that helped save my life coming down - five finger death punch

Alex would please do the drug in me is you by falling in reverse it's an older song by them

I'd highly recommend reacting to Ludens by Bring Me The Horizon next

the moment when you check over your shoulder like “are you catching this?!?!?!” 😂🤣

Love this song so much, have listened to it about 30x so far on Spotify haha
