What Does It Mean? 🎵 Slipknot Psychosocial Reaction 

RIP Joey Jordison. He passed away today and I'm heartbroken about it. Such a great drummer. He will be missed.

Haha Lex is so funny man...the why she turns into a metalhead "can we turn it up, does it go louder?" :D man this channel is soo cool :D

Bruh Lex is 100% metalhead already !! Turning loud shit up, headbanging, getting hyped on breakdowns, haha. Really cool to see it, cheers guys 🤘

hahaha... every Video: Brad: "so what do you think about the lyrics?" Lex: "I think its not god damn loud enough, thats what I think." Love you two.

Lex: "Can you turn this up? Does it go louder?" Brad: "It's... pretty loud..." I specifically clicked this one to watch her get excited and him throw a wet blanket on it. Called it.

I just found out Joey Jordison passed away he was founding drummer and ex member of Slipknot. Rest In Peace Joey 🖤🔥

“Your Purple Hearts are giving out” is a pretty big clue to what he’s saying. Lex was onto it

RIP Joey, he was just a ball of energy behind the kit. Im glad to have been able to see him live a few times before he had to leave the band.

I see it as an anti-war song. "I did my time and I want out." The character is referring that he did his required time, either in Iraq, or in the military as a whole and wants out. "Go drill your deserts, go fill your graves" Pretty self explanatory. "Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save." While on deployment, troops make a lot more than back in the states. It's still not a lot, but compared to state-side, it's a small fortune. "I'm done! It has begun, I'm not the only one." The character is at his breaking point, he's fed up with the system as a whole. However, his psyche has been corrupted by what he has seen and done. There are others just like him. The chorus of the song refers to the overall corruption and death of a generation as a result of this war. "Fake anti-fascist lie." The lie based off of the poor intelligence that caused us to invade in the first place. "I've tried to tell you, but your purple hearts are giving out." The part about the purple hearts seems to have more than one meaning. The purple heart is a medal that the U.S. military members receive for being wounded in combat. Purple heart could also mean a literal heart that is in poor health. "Can't stop the killing idea. If it's hunting season. Is this what you want?" Now the character is out of the combat zone, back state-side, but all he has is a messed up psyche. Once the "kill switch" has been turned on, it doesn't turned off. All he has is pent up stress, homicidal and suicidal tendencies with a society that does not care or even blames him as part of the problem. Hence the whole term "Psychosocial."

I nearly fell out of my chair when brad said " This vocabulary is robust " . And yes Corey Taylor is robust with his metaphorical lyrics.

Seeing someone get into the music as much as Lex is honestly so refreshing. Love it

Hell of a day for Slipknot reactions. RIP Joey Jordison.

She digs the bass...bouncing like a true metalhead.

Lex is such a good spirit. She sees the light in darkness.

I had a friend in HS that was a big new waver (it was mid 80s). She lost a bet and had to come wit me to an Iron Maiden/ Judas priest show, and it was kind of like Lex, a Metalhead was born. It was such a cool feeling to watch the transformation. This channel brings a lot of that back in vivid detail. Thanks you two.

I will never get tired of watching her discovery of head banging, finding the rhythem and where to hit the beat and what beat to hit.

Rest in Peace Joey Jordison. You were a founding member, and a friend. You'll forever be missed brother. 26th day of July 2021.

Love how Brad is chill and Lex is a total metal head through and through. Love the channel!

The smile Lex gets when the beat gets heavy is addicting.

You guys should do Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold. Synester Gates is a beast on lead guitar. Lex would love it!

I’ve always felt that they are basically saying we’re all screwed and it’s our own fault

"does it go louder?" Go on Lex. You guys are great. I love the way you look for the understanding of the song between you.

Scissors, Eyeless, Tattered and Torn, No Life is one of there best songs

We are turning Lex into a metal head 😌🖤

Lyrics are: and the reign will kill us all, not rain

I love how lex just allows herself to get swept up with the music. Really love how yinz are open to new music and try to enjoy not just the music but the context of the songs as well

I can see Lex being the person driving with Slipknot turned up full blast having the time of her life. Parked at a red light and the person looking over in the other car thinking ‘Damn I wish I had that much fun in my life’ 😂😂🤘🏻

This lady could make anyone love this song. She gets so into the groove...

Ppl always say it’s about war, but I think it’s about society, and money. Corey calls himself a martyr because he’s speaking out on his shallow society is. “The cracks in the road we paved” we built society and it can’t stay intact forever.

Fuuuuckkk been watching all Slipknot reactions today. I always loved hearing Slipknot drum isolated tracks, been a Maggot since day one. Thank you for everything!

I fuckink love lexs' reaction and love for metal music!!

React to pantera 5 MINUTES ALONE!!!!

I love how Lex gets so into the jams and music and Brad is trying to analyze. I can never tell if Brad actually digs it while he is listening haha. None the less, loved this!!!

Probably my favorite song by them.

"Go drill your desserts, go dig your graves" I always thought was about abusing the planet for resources

I wanna say Brad is bopping with the song but Lex is bouncing around so much its probably from that lol

RIP former Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison. Passed away in his sleep. Only 46 😞

You two are so down to earth....."normal" people. Its refreshing to see that in a content creator.

Slip knot , Spit It Out. Live at Download 2009. The must do reaction from Slipknot.

young metal heads love the reactions, RIP Joey one of the best drummers to live!

Leo Morochioli covers this song with banjos and it is freaking epic.

RIP Joey J. What an amazing drummer will be sorely missed 🙏🏻

This song perfectly syncs up with Baby by Justin Bieber. And it is hysterical.

Someone's becoming a metalhead rocker. Love it! 🙏❤️

I literally sit here and watch you analyze the song, as it should be done. Metal has been and never will be surface level, it’s always deeper than you think

I really love how lex s face kind of lights up at all the best parts/transitions etc of many of these videos.. metalhead in the making..🥲 You guys have made some really good choices on your reaction videos.. really, I m having a difficult time choosing which one to watch next every time. 😂 Just keep it up.. ❤️ much love from about a continent and an ocean away..

I love how Lex really gets into the music... sometimes it’s not the lyrics but how the music makes you feel

Lex is a badass and understands the music! she feels it! Love seeing her reaction and point of views!

Omg. Thank you guys for diving into Slipknot again. But sad news. Founding member and drummer till 2013 Joey jordison passed away yesterday. Not only was he a great drummer but he was known as one of the best heavy metal drummers ever.

Can anyone tell is Brad is bopping or is it just an affect of lex's bouncing all over place hahah

I think “PsychSocial” refers to the socialization process and America’s Foreign Policy. This song came out during the iraq war so it’s basically an anti war song. You should think about trying one of their “newe songs, to see were they are at as artists now. Maybe “Unsainted” or “ We Are Not Your Kind.” Or maybe something a little older but still “new” like Negative One.

RIP PAUL AND JOEY.

Can you guys check out Nutshell (unplugged), Down in a Hole (unplugged), Them Bones, and Bleed the Freak? All by Alice in Chains. In that order 😄🙏🏼 Brad might dig the first two.

Lol your boy said it loud enough, she's so enthusiastic

These two were made to do this. Reactions are perfect

I hadn’t watched your reactions in a bit… love in general, you guys are very amusing, hope the kid is great too. 🎉

So apt, RIP Joey, the greatest drummer of his generation.

I LOVE IT when you react to a heavy metal song and Brad has a cautious not sure if he likes it look on his face... ...and Lex is going absolutely berserk next to him 😆

lex ur so much fun to watch, brad, u got yourself a great girl my guy

I subscribed a couple weeks ago and have been watching your reactions in reverse. I love Lexs energy,y'all have kind of a good cop/bad cop vibe lol. Also big slipknot fan can you react to spiders.

I love the way you guys actually look into the lyrics meaning that's the beauty of music respect to you both

Love 💘😻Slipknot RIP Joey 🙏😢 much love 💘❤

Love the reaction lex is a metal head for real

It is a anti-war song and the funny part is that me and multiple Army buddies jammed out to this in Iraq all the time. I found Slipknot through one of my Army buddies in AIT. RIP Joey you were one of the best drummers of all time!

When the groove dropped, I half-expected Lex to start a two-person mosh pit on the couch - taking Brad totally by surprise. And Brad - she didn't mean "loud." She meant deafening. Imagine being at the concert - front right - next to the stack. lol

I think Lex hit the metal head on the nail when she said, " can it go louder!?" LOUDER!!🤣🤘💪

Lex your energy is amazing.

She is a whole vibe I love it ❤️❤️

Lex you would love damn near every Slipknot song they always go hard

Fun fact: it's actually an anti-war song.

I may or may not habe giggled when she said to turn it up and he's like "eh it's pretty up"

"The preservation of the martyr in me" as in the the inner need to make themselves martyrs to a cause. Combined with the lyric of "we throw ourselves against the wall" as throwing themselves against a unbreakable cause.

RIP Joey!!!! What you contributed to SlipKnot will never go unheard.. I am watching him sub for Lars with Metallica right now. This is crazy Joey and Dusty Hill from ZZ Top gone in a day...

Lex’s reaction to this song brought a huge smile to my face. 😂

Slipknot starts their tour in sept 2021 get tickets when they are in your area its safe fun and we all slipknot family...... Brad take this girl

LOUDER!!! Lex you are a true metal head! Unplug the ear drums and plug into a 1000 watt amp and destroy something!!

Lex you are a headbanger at heart. You felt that song. 😀😀🤘🏻🤘🏻

rip joey 💔 i got this notification right when i found out…

Slipknot is like any other great band.. One note and you know you are in for one hell of an experience.

This song is about how humanity and society is being influenced in such a way that we have all become toxic to ourselves and each other. The martyr part is saying everyone thinks that they themselves suffer the most. It is also about being killed in many different ways from war to the environment to racial unrest.

Lex is literally me every time I listen to any Slipknot song

That breakdown after the solo makes you wanna dance like shorty in Scary Movie 2 doing the And1 scene iykyk

RIP Joey, you'll always be remembered

I love that she so gets into it, and definitely feels the groove!!!

I honestly cannot remember the last time i had a conversation about what a song meant. Those were good times, and deep conversations. I like your channel.

Lexi's reactions are gold!

love the reactions. Good vibes from videos all around so far. keep it up! Honestly got me thinking. Different views can really help with stuff I missed while listing

That is the wrong "rain", it is "the reign will kill us all"

Can’t wait until October for slipknot concert, RIP JJ

You guys make my day!

I subscribed right after he said "it's not like their singing about sunshine and lollipops" I had to pause and let out that laugh from the gut. That was awesome.

She got moves man…. I been a slipknot fan since 99. Seen them a bunch of times, owned everything there ever released… watching yo girl move was reminiscent of seeing clown behind the percussions Great stuff 🤘 rock on

Reign. There's another earlier comment on here about that. The lyric vids get it wrong. Makes a HUGE difference when interpreting the message. Keep Rockin!

It actually says “the reign will kill us all”. Politician.

Corey Taylor is a lyrical genius, makes people think and that’s what good lyrics are. Tatiana from Jinjer is a beautiful poet and Tom MacDonald says it more directly. Whichever you prefer it’s deep and says something that most music doesn’t nowadays🤘🤘🤘Love from Armenia 🇦🇲

Lex listening to metal always gets me smiling.

LEX Rocks! reminds me of the first time I got into metal. There was no going back after that.

The drummer from slipknot LITERALLY JUST PASSED AWAY

"I'm not squeezing this orange yet" lol...I'm stealing that

Slipknot's lyricism could blow any modern day rapper out of the water. 🤘🖤🐍
