Metal Musician Reacts to Poppy | Concrete | 

*what did I just watch...*

Producer: So what genre are we doing Poppy: Yes

“Today we are reacting to Poppy” Ok “I’ve never heard of this artist” Oh no “So I don’t know what to expect” Oh you poor man. Poppy is a artist you can’t just dive into without warning.

"I have some mixed feelings" the whole song described in words.

“I fell like I’m watching the kids channel now.” WHAT KIND OF KIDS CHANNEL DID YOU WATCH GROWING UP?

Sounds like someone listen to Bring Me The Horizon's entire discography and couldn't pick out which album they liked the most.

I really like the juxtaposition of her soft vocals and the dark themes, with it being kinda like baby metal but more chaotic. I like how confusing it is. I appreciate it more than I thought I would.

I like the progression she made. Even her pop music was strange, the dark was always there. That's why I liked it.

people should create a new genre called "weird metal" 😂

You should definitely react to her song “X”. It goes kind of on the same format as this one but imo is much heavier and better.

Poppy, teaching the children of the world it is okay to be bipolar.

If you want something heavier listen to either X or Scary Mask by her. It’s much more heavy and less pop like

What confuses me so much is she used to be just straight pop(listen to her song Computer Boy) and then when I saw she signed to Sumerian and did a song with Fever 333 I was like WTF?! Also, if you want to go down a really deep internet rabbit hole, look into the whole lore of the Poppy channel.

*insert joke about Poppy being heavier than Bring Me The Horizon and Asking Alexandria here*

Please listen to her new released song "I disagree-POPPY"

I've listened to her albums so many times in the past week that it all sounds normal to me. I'm not confused about it at all. I love Poppy.

dude, you need to react to her songs “X” and “Scary Mask (feat. FEVER 333)” those are hard. 🔥

I love how confused you look bro 😂❤️

Your whole reaction had me dying 😂 mostly cause I remember how tripped out the journey is watching Poppy. Her random videos just talking are extremely interesting and trippy too.

Heard her music for the first time ever when I watched her open for Bring me the Horizon in October. I was floored. It was kinda good but I definitely wasn’t expecting the sound at ALL

All of her songs are like this a little. My fav of hers is “Scary Mask.” Super heavy and way less weird. The video is sick too.

Up next: Nik Nocturnal covers Concrete by Poppy

Should react to her new song "I disagree", alot more 'normal' structure-wise haha plus it's a decent track

I just love this song so much honestly.. it's so different! Basically this song has a deep meaning which mostly people don't understand. This song is basically tell us the dark side of depression, a person who's suffering from severe depression and wants this life to end.. That person don't like this materialistic world, don't like it's food.. he/she just want to be buried soon. This song is such a masterpiece ♥️🔥 Art with Darkness and a serious message in it! PS: I'm big fan of Poppy 💖

Okay so, I've been a poppy fan for a while now while also being big on metal. It kinda started out as a social experiment just posting weird videos and being a pop star that's possibly a robot or something of that nature controlled by "them", like an illuminati kinda thing. But by her last album the robot poppy started becoming more self aware and aware of how shitty the world is, which made the music start getting heavier and more violent with pop elements still mixed in, questioning destroying humanity, her gender identity, and just flat out murder. Looks like she's gonna continue that vibe with Sumerian. Idk if you were reading these lyrics but it sounds all happy and poppy but the lyrics are fucked up. So yeah the best way to explain her current form would be to say she's a misanthropic robot.

When Metal meets Willy Wonka 😂 this is what would play during the Oompa Loompa bits

Its really cool how well you can dissect and analyze something off the top right after seeing it for the first time bravo

Please check out “Blood Money” by Poppy. It’s sort of electric/industrial metal, but the end solo is PURE METAL GUITAR SOLO EPICNESS!!

She’s going on tour with BMTH and sleeping with sirens

as someone who's been a fan of poppy for years, this is hilarious to watch you so confused

I gotta say, this was the most enjoyably genuine reaction video I’ve ever seen. 🤘🏻

You Need To React To Her New Album "I Disagree"

My man... when ya gonna review that new Taylor Swift album?

This song is like a rollercoster. It goes 🤮🤘😱🤮🤘😱😲🤮

Oh it’s Kawaii-metal. This instantly made me think of the band BABYMETAL

The metal part sounds like Opium of the People by Slipknot. Just me?

A lot of the other songs she has like this blend a LOT better. This one was okay compared to X, Play Destroy, and Scary Mask.

I'm at this point very much considering buying her music haha

I love the lyrics to this song. It sounds like they're using a lot of chords from the parallel key and a few chromatic ones.

Do more Poppy, please!!! X and Scary Mask are my favorites

So Poppy is actually an act, she's suppose to represent the mind set of the mainstream pop music world, she has an entire channel dedicated to it, its some pretty sweet stuff honestly!

I just dont know how to feel...

DO BLOODMONEY!! That song is pretty heavy has some incredibly unique production on it. Fill the Crown probably sounds like the most true metal song off the new album.

I’ve loved poppy since she first appeared. The anti-pop star. I’ve liked the character, but it wasn’t until this album that I really truly appreciated her for what she is. This album is a work of art. So strange, I love it.

That reaction at 1:37 is probably a lot of other's reaction as well. I ain't gonna lie. It would be nice if you made a metal version. I would like to hear your take of the song.

Still needing to make my track review for it! This is really wild. It's certainly a rollercoaster. Glad she's on Sumerian Records now, though!

Sounds like a song with an identity crisis.

May see me comment a bit over the next couple hours. I'm binge watching your vids to catch up. That said I might go stand in front of the mirror and apologize to myself for 3 hours for making myself watch this. Your react pretty much nailed it. Just total wtf moment

this song is pretty cool it reminds me of anime intro music and metal

Poppy is intentionally supposed to be odd

MY SAME REACTION... the small 2009 breakdown portion had me confused and bopping my head lol

I didn’t realise you had reacted to this and I am pleasantly surprised

You should react to Scary Mask by Poppy ft. Fever 333. That one her most hardest and intense, chaotic song

4:17 "oh..ok..umm" hahaha those expressions 😄

Recuerdo que con este video descubrí a Nik Nocturnal 🤘

I honestly love this album

her song Scary mask with Fever333 is traight fire

This is one of the most ADD of poppy’s “metal” songs yet... scary mask is my fave so far. And play destroy with grimes. X is dope too but the transitions are pretty jarring on that one. Still love it tho, “please get me bloody” with the Carrie vibes in the video is just sick

Saw her live with bad omens and she was so damn fun. She really hyped the people up. She’s just crazy

I really needed to hear what NikNxk thinks of Poppy. I'm seeing her in February as the Bad Omens opener and I was hoping for I See Stars and ERRA but it will be Poppy instead. Her music is really weird but interesting, but awkward and all over the place, just like my personality lol

Poppy - Scary Mask!!! Waaaay heavier, you'll love the guitar work!!

12 foot Ninja + Baby Metal = Poppy

Poppy is a character depicting a completely brainwashed young starlet entirely controlled by her handlers. She comes over as really sweet and innocent but there is a sinister, creepy undertone to her. She's like a human robot. You should see her in interviews. The sensation that she's somehow not quite fully human hits the 'uncanny valley' so well that it triggers your primal 'fight or flight' response. The way she describes 'they' (whoever her handlers are,) is like how a schizophrenic describes the voices in their head.

Hey Nik,! I loved your reactions! 😂😂👌🏻like wtf! 😨😨Hilarious! Cheers! Love ya! Awesome channel! xx🖤

If I had a dollar for every time you said cohesive, I'd have...well....a few dollars I guess

If split personality disorder was a song

Poppy is a musician, but also a comedian and entertainer who has always made heavy use of weird and disturbing themes. She first became famous via her RU-vid sketches which were almost always surreal and often had dark undertones. Music has definitely become a bigger part of her brand recently, but most of her songs contain some element of deliberate irony or surrealism.

That middle happy section is very reminiscent of a certain passage in close to the edge by Yes.

It's like babymetal but not well as done. Every part except for the metal parts felt like different songs. I agree, it's weird for the sake of being weird and it feels like it's too weird for it's own good.

Someone to Poppy : You okay? Poopy : Turn me into a street

Finally a song that reflects my bi polar disorder

Ive listened to poppy for a while she just made pop for a while and suddenly started making a lot of weird semi metal songs like this

Please listen to the new Knocked Loose album A Different Shade of Blue 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I SWEAR "Play Destroy" and "X" are MUCH BETTER! "Scary Mask" is pretty good too. Of all Poppy's heavier songs, "Concrete" is my least favorite. I wish we could've introduced Poppy to you in a better way. There's actually a lot to love!

I just checked them out today since I seen they were touring with A7X next year. The song X is very different

Poppy is so much fun live.....I fucking love her 😛🤘👩‍🚀

Never done drugs before? just watch this video and see what its like.

Scary Mask. It's more edible to Digest than this one if you felt this WTF-y to your standards

I just watched your video and all I've got to say is if the word 'weird' had any other definition it would be 'poppy - concrete' and a link for the video, he song was awesome though, it was very entertaining and varied, I just like the way that it wasn't blended, because like you said, you don't know what's coming next. Huge fan of your channel!

I've been a rock musician for almost 40 yrs. Not sure if I would use disorganized or 'not cohesive'. I believe it is completely intentional. I think the purpose is to create tension but instead of releasing that tension as many artists would do, she/they keep that tension going. Think about the ending. That's what made me come to that conclusion. The end just......ends. It leaves you hanging wondering wtf? Your reaction to the end is confirmation that even you felt it!

Do a reaction to X by Poppy aswell!

Now you should check out 'Mask' by Poppy and Fever333

This needed to be weird to hook you up, to catch your attention, as it is the single from the new album. I personally like the song and after that first WTF impression i went and checked the whole album. And I liked it))

love how he has never heard it but is mouthing the words to the first part of the song.

"What...what just happened?" Yeah. That's the usual reaction to Poppy.

pooppy is love.. poppy is life

I'm today years old to realise that Poppy is in Sumerian Record. It feels so weird because I know her from her "I'm Poppy" and her song "Low Life" 😐 Imagine, it feels like listening to Taylor Swift suddenly make metal song, just weird, I guess.

I’ve been listening to poppy for a while and all her music even pop always has dark undertones so I was expecting this to happen with her for an album. She kept a lot of her essence in it instead of just complete metal. You’d have to listen to poppy to fully get why she went this way!!!

listen to scary mask feat. fever 333! i think you might enjoy it more

I'm not sure but I think Phil Bozeman wrote the lyrics😏

I love Poppy. 😊 Did you hear that Pantera is back in play!?

She will open for Avenged in 2024 ! amazing haha

I like this reaction because he doesn’t talk over the *whole song.*

Reminds me of a bipolar Otep with SOAD and a bit of Babymetal

she used the exact same siren sample at Slipknot in Opium of the People xD

Its like rapidly hitting skip on your playlist...i love the Queen vibe at the end 🤘

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HIS FACE 1:38 , IM CRYING HAHAHAJAHAHAHAJA

X or scary mask would definitely be great next songs to do

I didn't know she existed until this reaction video. Thank you?

very nice pro reaction, she's a lot of fun always some type of madness going on
