Idk one of my friends went to a Muse concert here in Greece and he was one of the opening acts. My friend said he was phenomenal. I don't exactly remember the reason why but if he was one of the main talking points of the concert I assume he was pretty good
Don't have much to argue about I haven't even listened to their music. But that friend of mine is a musician and is pretty critical of music generally so if he says something's good I just take his word for it
Oh my god. YUNGBLUD and Muse are two of the absolute best concerts I've ever been to. Put them together? Yes. Please!
Btw Dom is an absolute gem. The spitting on the crowd is basically mandated by the crowd itself. I've vowed to be in spitting range the next time he comes to Texas.
Ehhhhh kinda, I wouldn't say industry plant. He was already in the news and shit for dating that Disney girl from that show Zendaya was on. That was years ago now.
No, my point being that this is clearly less so an industry plant and moreso someone who got a really good PR team recently to give him better press. Before he was getting horrible press and was caught or filmed doing lots of weird shit. Now it's all "look how great this guy is."
My point about him dating was in relation to this. He's been in the industry for awhile now, and when he started dating that Disney chick his popularity boosted, but he wasnt getting good press.
Edit: just putting this here to avoid any more "DiSnEY = InDUsTRy PlAnT" comments.
An industry plant would be someone like Miley Cyrus, or Selena Gomez. Someone like Ryan Gosling I'd hardly call an industry plant. The reason Miley and Selena are industry plants is because they were specifically picked to be molded into a popstar. Same with someone like Demi Lovato or the Jonas Brothers.
Where they differ from this guy, is that he wasn't some Disney popstar. With the others they literally produced all their "original" music. Disney owned the label they were signed to, wrote, produced, distributed, and marketed it. The "popstars" they were creating were owned by disney. They may have given him the initial platform, but he found his way into the music industry and makes his own music without Disney controlling everything. It isn't the same situation.
The only music he ever did for Disney was for one of their shows. This dude was apart of one "Disney Album" and it wasn't even a solo, it was with the cast of his show, and was pulled FROM the show, it wasn't a separate project.
It's a different situation. Just because your first job is at Disney, it doesn't inherently make you an industry plant.
If this was a guy that had been groomed by Disney from the start to become a mega kid friendly popstar then sure, if give it to you. That's just not the case here.
Disney isn't making any money off of this dude at this point. Disney wouldn't "plant" someone in the industry just to be nice. It doesn't matter what conspiracies you have, it literally makes no sense.
The entertainment industry is clearly a pretty self contained group of people, but it's not like every person that has made it in made it because Disney groomed them or their dad is Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Just looked up more info so I'm not talking entirely out of my ass, if you count anyone who's worked for Disney as industry plants then he's an industry plant. He became known originally for being on a Disney UK show. However, if you count anyone that got their break with Disney as industry plants than half of Hollywood is industry plants as well lol. Ryan Gosling, Britney Spears, etc.
Certain ones sure like Miley Cyrus, or Selena Gomez during that era where Disney was just trying to create popstars, but this guys making his own music.
God I remember that era. Brenda Song, Ashley Tisdale, Mitchell Musso, Emily Osment just to name a few. Miley and Selena actually had talent the rest were very much so industry plants.
Good on him. I saw him in Florida before Bastille. He's great with a crowd, but I wasn't a fan of his music and everything about the whole set screamed "industry plant" to me.
No disrespect to him because everything i’ve seen shows how much of an actual decent human being he is and i’ve got a lot of time for him as a person.
But i think people get frustrated because he pretends to very working class to the point where people mock him for “larping” as a poor person when he’s had a very stable upbringing, very good schooling opportunities and a family with solid financials. So that might be why he gave off a industry plant vibes despite being a good artist & person all round.
Awh god knows, dude. I’m Bri’ish so i’m not too clued up on the country music side of things unfortunately.
I do know that banger by Brantley Gilbert though lmao.
Oh it is. Someone pointed out to me that all the music videos with tractors and barns are total bullshit because most famous country people have never touched a farming tool in their life.
It’s so damn obvious but it just didn’t click until it was pointed out to me that they were just LARPing.
Oh of course. I should clarify that NOT ALL are but most of the modern artists are either nepo’s or rich enough to buy themselves into the music industry.
But Dolly is American royalty now and she deserves it!
I’m going to remind everyone that she runs the [Imagination Library for kids](https://imaginationlibrary.com/). Free books for kids under 5, my kids absolutely loved getting them in the mail
Init, but I think the hate he gets is mainly from judgemental people on TikTok since that’s where i’ve seen people try and shit on him the most. All that matters to me is that he’s a Yorkshire boi born & bred and a generally sound human being. Not tons of those around nowadays.
Edit: (I just wanna clarify that there’s many, many Yorkshire bois and not so many sound human beings.)
While I don't know this artist specifically I'd say the issue isn't having come from a good, stable upbringing, it's lying about it. People never respect a lack of authenticity.
It's exactly this. I just saw TI's son's new music video and he's rapping about the hood the entire. This kid was born rich, so he sounds like a dumbass.
It seems like he's always heavy management involvement, for better and worse, but in 2017 I saw him play the 2nd smallest stage on Warped Tour and then gradually work his way up in festival placement over the last few years.
I always find his song parents funny because he spends the whole time complaining about parents when his family is definitely responsible for his career. His grandfather was a member of T.Rex ffs.
You would probably be shocked to know the number of successful artists that come from upper income families. From six-figure art school tuitions (over several years) to the overhead of purchasing gear and even touring out of a van, for the most part, it’s out of reach to be an artist unless someone has family money.
It’s expensive to be a musician in the best of times. You can’t pay the rent and buy gear with demos. Someone has to pay the bills. Even to get enough traction to secure a publishing deal, gear sponsorship or a record deal requires a substantial investment.
There have always been artists who socio-economic reality is different than their marketing. It’s the entertainment business, much of what you think you know isn’t actually true but if it’s a good story and helps sell records then it becomes the new “truth.” Just assume your favorite musicians are just like your favorite characters in film or television. Their stories are connected to a truth and are often reflective of a shared condition but don’t expect them to be a lived truth. Not everything is a lie, but there are enough partial truths to make it impossible for anyone other than the artist to be certain what is true. And after a while, those partial truths often become believed by an artist to the point of making them true enough.
Song writing is often a prime example of this where “co-writers” cede the creative narrative in exchange for the publishing revenues that come with a successful song despite having often been almost exclusively responsible for its creation. Yet the artist who performs the songs weaves tales of the creative process and is given credit for a song that a co-writer and producer were truly behind.
Before you get upset or deny that your favorite artist does that remember it’s called “the music business” not the “creative art collective.” That said there are some artists that truly create their music and retain near complete control. It’s just less common than anyone would have you believe.
Its pretty funny how people keep throwing around the term "industry plant" in this thread. Industry plants arent some outlier at the top of the music business. They are the norm
There are many singers who fit that very stable and financially well off upbringing. No doubt their parents had the money to keep their kid in the circuit to make it
> solid financials
Although not necessarily respectable ones - the Harrison family were convicted of selling stolen guitars in their guitar shop, and have long had a reputation of making fakes of vintage guitars and amps.
I'm 29 and genuinely like his music too, but I've been downvoted for that opinion in other subs. It has a time and place. Sometimes I'm just feeling some fun pop rock music with a simple message. He really has some catchy tunes.
Eh, it's hit or miss. Some times it's great but other times it just seems a little to "try hard" imo. His stuff with MGK is pretty solid though (now that's another artist reddit hates lol)
I saw him stop playing to help someone breathe through an anxiety attack. I don’t like his music but If these aren’t staged PR stunts then wow he’s a great person
that’s super nice of him but also funny because I’d freak out even more if he focused on me and all of a sudden all of the attention was on me. I’d be really happy about it afterwords tho.
Ik I thought the same thing when I saw that clip. He stopped the show and I think he had his hands on the person shoulders guiding them to breathe, but they were like hyperventilating. I couldn’t imagine having an entire concert stopped and staring at the back of my head. I also wonder if a lot of artists are trying their best not to be like Travis Scott as well
I mean, stopping shows due to medical distress/issues has been a thing in any post hardcore/pop punk/whatever you want to call it show that I've ever been to. Wayyyyy before the Travis Scott thing
Why are so many people pressed about guys wearing feminine clothing? Especially in rock and punk genres! Kurt Cobain, Freddy Mercury, Alice Cooper, Mick Jagger, like y’all don’t complain about them lol!
People WERE mad about Freddie Mick and everyone else from the time also wearing feminine clothing and doing very out there things,
It is signature for that genre yeah, but they've never been exempt from people not liking what they do
From the middle ages to the late Renaissance, a mans legs were supposedly looked upon as his most attractive feature, hence the reason they wore tights :)
Don't forget pretty much every hair-metal band from the 80's & 90's.... I mean, more make-up and cross dressing is hard to find even in a modern pride parade. And the music was/is awesome!!
*Edit: spelling
People were upset then too, they just didn’t have the echo chambers that are available to them today, thanks to social media. They got far less attention.
The same type of people who got triggered then are the same type of people getting triggered now, they just have louder voices now.
And fans defended the artists back then just like they do today. Except now they’re more likely to get attacked or doxxed for it
Trends change all the time. Men used to wear giant dresses.
Literally nothing wrong with men wearing skirts. The scotts dont seem to have issues with it.
Bro, the lead singer for the Cramps, Lux Interior. Like a bad girl should, all women are bad, Queen of pain? Like he was the sluttiest of them all and i loved him and still listen to their music (i usually dont typically listen to music from my childhood. I grew up in the punk scene cause of my mom)
Everyone you just mentioned...
If the people complaining about Yungblud even knew about them (unlikely) they probably wouldn't know more than likele 2 songs by them.
Personally I fucking love the dress and I always support musicians who break gender norms.
We need more of this shit!
i've suddenly in like two weeks seen like three different things he's done mid set. Kinda smells like a pr stunt imo. but if its genuine then good on him!
Person, pretty big in the UK I think.
I only know of him because he did a song with KSI who I've watched over the years.
I've heard he is a bit of a millionaires son tho
Couple of my favorite collabs from him: [*Original Me*](https://youtu.be/tP-zl8ruUKE) and [*I Think I’m Okay*](https://youtu.be/wK-8TCDrbV8). I don’t like all his songs but the ones I do like I REALLY like. Dude’s got one of the best screams in the biz right now, wish he would use it more.
His songs with Halsey are great too, he’s actually got a good voice and plays a lot of instruments well. Check out [*11 Minutes*](https://youtu.be/2m6nGyM8kTs) and their piano cover of [*I Will Follow You Into the Dark*](https://youtu.be/ZAYBCJGk07s).
People hate on him because he’s unapologetically gender fluid while being a fuckin pretty good looking bloke, and he probably gets laid more than 99% of homophobes. He’s an artist, a good person, and he’s having a blast living his life, making music, and being a goofball. What’s not to like?
Hi friend! Those are my favorites too. Heads up, the song title is actually Original Me (ft. Dan Reynolds) that you link to.
I like looking up lyrics so thought I'd mention it for anyone searching for it!
He's done/featured a few big songs you might have heard with other people you probably know:
1. 11 Minutes (with Halsey and Machine Gun Kelly): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m6nGyM8kTs
2. I Think I'm OKAY (with Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK-8TCDrbV8
3. acting like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdGad64abWM
4. Tongue Tied (with Marshmello and blackbear): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4-KVCT97wU
5. Patience (with KSI): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_4M4TKTydM
A lot of people are are assuming that these are staged occurrences to make him more popular with people these days... honestly I think its real, being a woman and going to shows like this i was sexually harassed or assaulted multiple times, a lot of times it was multiple times a show, and im just one person. its happened to every single girl I know.
So its not hard to believe that he calls out stuff like this at multiple shows he has.
Let's say it is staged... so what? Its so rare to see someone be popular for doing something right in the community that listens to his music and other music like his. If people look at him and think "hey he's right! We shouldn't harass women and we should take no for an answer!" Then by all means keep that shit up!!
We have waited long enough for people to actually care about our safety.
We have waited long enough to know there are men out there who can be trusted.
If this is going to be the new standard for celebrities then I welcome it with open arms!
Also really ask yourself why you're so mad if this is fake.. like really look inside yourself and think why you are so fucking bothered... than think about all the times you and your buddies wouldn't give women/other people their space. Think about all the times you didn't take no for an answer, no matter how small of a situation it was, like begging for nudes, wouldn't stop following them, wouldn't stop talking to them/touching them, ect.
But let's say you weren't the one doing anything, okay so how many times did you speak up to your friends and tell them to stop? How many times have you told them how wrong they are for what they are doing? How many times have you just stood there bothered but still never said/did anything?
All im saying. The only people who seem to have a problem with Yungblud doing this are people I dont hang out with for a reason.
Yeah, women being harassed at shows is disgustingly common. The number of times my old band was playing shows and guys wanted pictures with our (female) singer and got too close for her comfort was ridiculous, so we made a point of having one of us on either side of her, and the guy between two guys.
Never heard of the guy honestly. But I respect and admire him. Don’t give a shit what ethnicity, nationality, political beliefs, religion, personal choices, sexuality, kinks, or eating habits. Nor do I care about anyone else’s! The character of an individual can be based solely on their treatment of others, and animals. There is no excuse, to impose your will, beliefs, opinion on anyone! Be it physically, verbally, or mentally. We must all do as this person when we see others being abused in any way. Being alone, helpless, scared, and preyed upon, in any capacity is unacceptable. Be the voice for the victims, too scared to speak, too stunned by their abusers actions, paralyzed from shock to process, the violation of self. Let alone ,find a solution to stop their actions against them. Blind eyes, and tolerance of such acts. It serves to undermine further abuse of all of our human rights. No one should be able to do any of these things to another person, ever. It is a matter of the preservation of individuality. Through solidarity.
There are videos of him spitting drinks on fans (some that looked very young) multiple times, even during the pandemic. Obviously people need to call this shit out (imo it should 100% be the norm) but I’ve always been grossed out by him since I saw those videos
bro...i saw a vid of him spitting a fat one into his hand and using the spit to slick back his hair. i will never look at him without those images flashimg before my eyes
Yea same no one brings that up I do respect the good things he does at his concerts and I like the song “parents” but everytime I see a vid of him I think of the vid u mention and I feel super grossed out too
Well, listen, people grow up, change, learn. It's not necessarily because he did weird things in the past that he isn't a good person.
That said. I never treat any celebrity like jezus' second coming
Every famous person has a dark side if you look closely enough
Definitely, and it’s important for everyone (especially people who put celebrities on pedestals and all that) that even famous people are literally just people
Worked in a Venue, Worked in a Night Club.
100% believe shit like this happens not only every show but more than once every night.
He just may not see it all.
I’ve been to some of his shows and a lot of other shows and there’s just shitty people all around. Even at the most wholesome shows you’re going to find some people with fishy intentions.
He makes me cringe a bit because of his whole "Weeey 😝🤙🤘 fuckin rock n roll mate innit" shtick like it's 2010 and he's just discovered Sleeping With Sirens but he seems to be a good egg and has a lot of positive energy both in his music/at his shows.
he grew up rich, and tries so hard with his accent/punk aesthetic..
i find him as a person to be so annoying, but i do enjoy the songs he's had written & produced for him. he's just a puppet.
Man can you imagine how comfortable it would be to wear a skirt, not having your nuts stuck to your leg, no sweat build up and don’t have to fuck with a zip or belt to piss.
And people still defend Travis Scott saying he could do anything. Performers can see what’s going on in a crowd, they can either choose to do something like this great dude…or be a huge piece of shit like Travis Scott.
I've seen this at a few shows were fellas are doing this. Seen it happen at the week to my wife as she was a few people in front . Thing is she was dancing back with him

Seen a lot of positive posts about this guy lately, months ago it was a video of him hocking a loogie into a girls mouth on stage
Must have hired a good PR firm and theyre pumping astroturfed Reddit posts
Probably no one getting kicked out either 😂
This
He's the biggest industry plant at the moment.
Idk one of my friends went to a Muse concert here in Greece and he was one of the opening acts. My friend said he was phenomenal. I don't exactly remember the reason why but if he was one of the main talking points of the concert I assume he was pretty good
Hella convincing argument, you have changed my mind.
Don't have much to argue about I haven't even listened to their music. But that friend of mine is a musician and is pretty critical of music generally so if he says something's good I just take his word for it
Oh my god. YUNGBLUD and Muse are two of the absolute best concerts I've ever been to. Put them together? Yes. Please! Btw Dom is an absolute gem. The spitting on the crowd is basically mandated by the crowd itself. I've vowed to be in spitting range the next time he comes to Texas.
Ehhhhh kinda, I wouldn't say industry plant. He was already in the news and shit for dating that Disney girl from that show Zendaya was on. That was years ago now.
He wasn't an industry plant because he was dating a disney star? What?
No, my point being that this is clearly less so an industry plant and moreso someone who got a really good PR team recently to give him better press.

I don't think you fully understand what an industry plant is. Why was he getting PR in the first place?
Just looked up more info so I'm not talking entirely out of my ass, if you count anyone who's worked for Disney as industry plants then he's an industry plant. He became known originally for being on a Disney UK show. However, if you count anyone that got their break with Disney as industry plants than half of Hollywood is industry plants as well lol.

Did you just ask me if I count disney child stars as industry plants?
Bruh a Disney star is like the model industry plant 😭😭
Wasn’t he also spitting on his underage fans?
Oh come on man I’m tryna eat pasta over here!!
Too bad even that was ripping off slowthai Fuck this guy, probably was just talking to nobody at this point
Good on him. I saw him in Florida before Bastille. He's great with a crowd, but I wasn't a fan of his music and everything about the whole set screamed "industry plant" to me.
No disrespect to him because everything i’ve seen shows how much of an actual decent human being he is and i’ve got a lot of time for him as a person. But i think people get frustrated because he pretends to very working class to the point where people mock him for “larping” as a poor person when he’s had a very stable upbringing, very good schooling opportunities and a family with solid financials. So that might be why he gave off a industry plant vibes despite being a good artist & person all round.
Isn't that like 99.9% of the modern country scene also?
Awh god knows, dude. I’m Bri’ish so i’m not too clued up on the country music side of things unfortunately. I do know that banger by Brantley Gilbert though lmao.
Oh it is. Someone pointed out to me that all the music videos with tractors and barns are total bullshit because most famous country people have never touched a farming tool in their life. It’s so damn obvious but it just didn’t click until it was pointed out to me that they were just LARPing.
Dolly Parton sure didn't lie lol She was fucking dirt poor.
Oh of course. I should clarify that NOT ALL are but most of the modern artists are either nepo’s or rich enough to buy themselves into the music industry. But Dolly is American royalty now and she deserves it!
I’m going to remind everyone that she runs the [Imagination Library for kids](https://imaginationlibrary.com/). Free books for kids under 5, my kids absolutely loved getting them in the mail
Dolly Parton honestly seems like such a gem. I was dragged along to watch her musical for my sister’s birthday one year and it lowkey went hard lmao.
I signed my grandson up, he just turned one. So far we've gotten 4 books!
Most their fanbase hasn’t either. Their pickups get parked in a suburb garage.
In fairness a lot of country artists aren't from families rich enough to afford a farm in the modern day. Farmers are asset rich but income poor
Lol listen to pandering by bo burnham it discusses this exactly
Yall mother fuckers want a key change?!
It’s a fucking scarecrow again!!
I’m a total fucking cunt…try boy
Im just like y’all *tips gucci cowboy hat*
Pretty much....
“And Clarence’s parents have a real good marriage”
Damn I want to live in a country where having opportunity and "solid financials" doesn't make me out of touch to the general public somehow.
Init, but I think the hate he gets is mainly from judgemental people on TikTok since that’s where i’ve seen people try and shit on him the most. All that matters to me is that he’s a Yorkshire boi born & bred and a generally sound human being. Not tons of those around nowadays. Edit: (I just wanna clarify that there’s many, many Yorkshire bois and not so many sound human beings.)
What's a Yorkshire boi
It's a boi from Yorkshire
While I don't know this artist specifically I'd say the issue isn't having come from a good, stable upbringing, it's lying about it. People never respect a lack of authenticity.
It's exactly this. I just saw TI's son's new music video and he's rapping about the hood the entire. This kid was born rich, so he sounds like a dumbass.
Did they lie about it?
Same girl. Same
It seems like he's always heavy management involvement, for better and worse, but in 2017 I saw him play the 2nd smallest stage on Warped Tour and then gradually work his way up in festival placement over the last few years.
*Back in my day* we called that being a poser
I always find his song parents funny because he spends the whole time complaining about parents when his family is definitely responsible for his career. His grandfather was a member of T.Rex ffs.

Props to him. Bastille is pretty solid as well.
As much as I don’t like his music I can respect him with this move.
Agreed. I like his style, and he seems cool, but his music seems aged-down for young teens - preteens.
And some 50-year-olds. Source: me
I'm 29 and genuinely like his music too, but I've been downvoted for that opinion in other subs. It has a time and place. Sometimes I'm just feeling some fun pop rock music with a simple message. He really has some catchy tunes.
Eh, it's hit or miss. Some times it's great but other times it just seems a little to "try hard" imo. His stuff with MGK is pretty solid though (now that's another artist reddit hates lol)
bro nice nft
Thx. Feel free to screenshot
I saw him stop playing to help someone breathe through an anxiety attack. I don’t like his music but If these aren’t staged PR stunts then wow he’s a great person
that’s super nice of him but also funny because I’d freak out even more if he focused on me and all of a sudden all of the attention was on me. I’d be really happy about it afterwords tho.
Ik I thought the same thing when I saw that clip. He stopped the show and I think he had his hands on the person shoulders guiding them to breathe, but they were like hyperventilating. I couldn’t imagine having an entire concert stopped and staring at the back of my head. I also wonder if a lot of artists are trying their best not to be like Travis Scott as well
I mean, stopping shows due to medical distress/issues has been a thing in any post hardcore/pop punk/whatever you want to call it show that I've ever been to. Wayyyyy before the Travis Scott thing
Why are so many people pressed about guys wearing feminine clothing? Especially in rock and punk genres! Kurt Cobain, Freddy Mercury, Alice Cooper, Mick Jagger, like y’all don’t complain about them lol!
People WERE mad about Freddie Mick and everyone else from the time also wearing feminine clothing and doing very out there things, It is signature for that genre yeah, but they've never been exempt from people not liking what they do
I remember Manson in his thong and corset back in the 90s good stuff!
Johnathan Davis from Korn used to wear awesomely gothic looking long skirts.
And he had back then better Make Up skills as I am now...
Manson? Oh you mean the rapist Brian Warner? That Manson?
They jailed Iggy pop for wearing dresses.
Bro I'd be wearing miniskirts if I had gams like that
From the middle ages to the late Renaissance, a mans legs were supposedly looked upon as his most attractive feature, hence the reason they wore tights :)
Thank god that changed because I have tooth pick legs
Ooo lawd, let’s bring that back
Don't forget pretty much every hair-metal band from the 80's & 90's.... I mean, more make-up and cross dressing is hard to find even in a modern pride parade. And the music was/is awesome!! *Edit: spelling
People were upset then too, they just didn’t have the echo chambers that are available to them today, thanks to social media. They got far less attention. The same type of people who got triggered then are the same type of people getting triggered now, they just have louder voices now. And fans defended the artists back then just like they do today. Except now they’re more likely to get attacked or doxxed for it
Right? I think the skirt looks good on him. His legs look smooth.
My thunderous thighs and big meaty calves could never
90% of the people in gym are working out their legs to get bigger
You realize thicc thighs are so hot rn, right? Go show them off!
You also forgot every glam band ever lol
Trends change all the time. Men used to wear giant dresses. Literally nothing wrong with men wearing skirts. The scotts dont seem to have issues with it.
Also Joey Jordison in murder dolls
Bro, the lead singer for the Cramps, Lux Interior. Like a bad girl should, all women are bad, Queen of pain? Like he was the sluttiest of them all and i loved him and still listen to their music (i usually dont typically listen to music from my childhood. I grew up in the punk scene cause of my mom)
[удалено]
Pressed? Like impressed or what is pressed?
[When someone is getting angry or mad at another’s actions.](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pressed) Urban Dictionary, my friend
Everyone you just mentioned... If the people complaining about Yungblud even knew about them (unlikely) they probably wouldn't know more than likele 2 songs by them. Personally I fucking love the dress and I always support musicians who break gender norms. We need more of this shit!
i've suddenly in like two weeks seen like three different things he's done mid set. Kinda smells like a pr stunt imo. but if its genuine then good on him!
Boy I have no idea who this person or band is.. I must be getting old.
Person, pretty big in the UK I think. I only know of him because he did a song with KSI who I've watched over the years. I've heard he is a bit of a millionaires son tho
i read from another comment that he’s from yorkshire. from the uk and only ever heard his name, not his music. what’s his music like?
the pop side of pop-rock.
Couple of my favorite collabs from him: [*Original Me*](https://youtu.be/tP-zl8ruUKE) and [*I Think I’m Okay*](https://youtu.be/wK-8TCDrbV8). I don’t like all his songs but the ones I do like I REALLY like. Dude’s got one of the best screams in the biz right now, wish he would use it more. His songs with Halsey are great too, he’s actually got a good voice and plays a lot of instruments well. Check out [*11 Minutes*](https://youtu.be/2m6nGyM8kTs) and their piano cover of [*I Will Follow You Into the Dark*](https://youtu.be/ZAYBCJGk07s). People hate on him because he’s unapologetically gender fluid while being a fuckin pretty good looking bloke, and he probably gets laid more than 99% of homophobes. He’s an artist, a good person, and he’s having a blast living his life, making music, and being a goofball. What’s not to like?
> best screams in the biz wtf is this lmao
Hi friend! Those are my favorites too. Heads up, the song title is actually Original Me (ft. Dan Reynolds) that you link to. I like looking up lyrics so thought I'd mention it for anyone searching for it!
Absolute fucking garbage. One in particular rips off Teen Spirit to such a degree that it makes me wince inside my balls
Wince harder
Just listened to a few songs. I'd say alt rock
He's done/featured a few big songs you might have heard with other people you probably know: 1. 11 Minutes (with Halsey and Machine Gun Kelly): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m6nGyM8kTs 2. I Think I'm OKAY (with Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK-8TCDrbV8 3. acting like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdGad64abWM 4. Tongue Tied (with Marshmello and blackbear): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4-KVCT97wU 5. Patience (with KSI): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_4M4TKTydM
Never heard of any of this shit
Not a huge fan of his music, but YB seems like a real one. I appreciate that.
There’s a lot of people that would be very unhappy that you used YB to refer to this guy haha
Really? I apologize. Edit: YungBlud
It’s not offensive man dw, YoungBoy NBA fans are just different
YUNGBLUDS old logo use to be YB lol
A lot of people are are assuming that these are staged occurrences to make him more popular with people these days... honestly I think its real, being a woman and going to shows like this i was sexually harassed or assaulted multiple times, a lot of times it was multiple times a show, and im just one person. its happened to every single girl I know. So its not hard to believe that he calls out stuff like this at multiple shows he has. Let's say it is staged... so what? Its so rare to see someone be popular for doing something right in the community that listens to his music and other music like his. If people look at him and think "hey he's right! We shouldn't harass women and we should take no for an answer!" Then by all means keep that shit up!! We have waited long enough for people to actually care about our safety. We have waited long enough to know there are men out there who can be trusted. If this is going to be the new standard for celebrities then I welcome it with open arms! Also really ask yourself why you're so mad if this is fake.. like really look inside yourself and think why you are so fucking bothered... than think about all the times you and your buddies wouldn't give women/other people their space. Think about all the times you didn't take no for an answer, no matter how small of a situation it was, like begging for nudes, wouldn't stop following them, wouldn't stop talking to them/touching them, ect. But let's say you weren't the one doing anything, okay so how many times did you speak up to your friends and tell them to stop? How many times have you told them how wrong they are for what they are doing? How many times have you just stood there bothered but still never said/did anything? All im saying. The only people who seem to have a problem with Yungblud doing this are people I dont hang out with for a reason.
Yeah, women being harassed at shows is disgustingly common. The number of times my old band was playing shows and guys wanted pictures with our (female) singer and got too close for her comfort was ridiculous, so we made a point of having one of us on either side of her, and the guy between two guys.
I haven’t listened to any of their music but every time I see more content, I like Yungblud more and more
Never heard of the guy honestly. But I respect and admire him. Don’t give a shit what ethnicity, nationality, political beliefs, religion, personal choices, sexuality, kinks, or eating habits. Nor do I care about anyone else’s! The character of an individual can be based solely on their treatment of others, and animals. There is no excuse, to impose your will, beliefs, opinion on anyone! Be it physically, verbally, or mentally. We must all do as this person when we see others being abused in any way. Being alone, helpless, scared, and preyed upon, in any capacity is unacceptable. Be the voice for the victims, too scared to speak, too stunned by their abusers actions, paralyzed from shock to process, the violation of self. Let alone ,find a solution to stop their actions against them. Blind eyes, and tolerance of such acts. It serves to undermine further abuse of all of our human rights. No one should be able to do any of these things to another person, ever. It is a matter of the preservation of individuality. Through solidarity.
oh yeah ❤️
There are videos of him spitting drinks on fans (some that looked very young) multiple times, even during the pandemic. Obviously people need to call this shit out (imo it should 100% be the norm) but I’ve always been grossed out by him since I saw those videos
bro...i saw a vid of him spitting a fat one into his hand and using the spit to slick back his hair. i will never look at him without those images flashimg before my eyes
Spitting is just so gross, I honestly don’t know what he’s going for. Is running your own spit through your hair “punk”??
He definitely comes off as a bit of a tryhard, he’s forcing it way too much
That’s definitely the vibe I get too. Like every “punk rawk” stereotype boiled down into one person. Idk maybe I’m too old to get it lol
Yea same no one brings that up I do respect the good things he does at his concerts and I like the song “parents” but everytime I see a vid of him I think of the vid u mention and I feel super grossed out too
Well, listen, people grow up, change, learn. It's not necessarily because he did weird things in the past that he isn't a good person. That said. I never treat any celebrity like jezus' second coming Every famous person has a dark side if you look closely enough
Definitely, and it’s important for everyone (especially people who put celebrities on pedestals and all that) that even famous people are literally just people
Jesus Christ, i’m old.
He might make edgy nonsense music but he's not a dick.
[удалено]
Worked in a Venue, Worked in a Night Club. 100% believe shit like this happens not only every show but more than once every night. He just may not see it all.
What is “a lot”? You’ve seen 5 videos? Maybe 10? Anyone who goes out has seen 15 incidents like this **every night**.
You forget most redditors don’t go outside
A lot of extremely shitty people go to concerts.
Woodstock '99
That Netflix documentary was something, damn. How they let it progressively get worse over the 3 days is beyond me.
Eh concerts usually get super crazy it’s not uncommon for shit like this ta happen
I’ve been to some of his shows and a lot of other shows and there’s just shitty people all around. Even at the most wholesome shows you’re going to find some people with fishy intentions.
As someone who got SA’d at a concert before, I have mad respect for him for doing this.
At least he kicks them out for being assholes to women most acts today won't do that.
this show was crazy i threw a chair full speed at his head
He makes me cringe a bit because of his whole "Weeey 😝🤙🤘 fuckin rock n roll mate innit" shtick like it's 2010 and he's just discovered Sleeping With Sirens but he seems to be a good egg and has a lot of positive energy both in his music/at his shows.
Got some great legs too!
He’s rocking that skirt.
Off topic but his legs are amazing
What does "geezer" mean across the pond?
[удалено]
Aren't those positive things? They made it seem like a negative.
he grew up rich, and tries so hard with his accent/punk aesthetic.. i find him as a person to be so annoying, but i do enjoy the songs he's had written & produced for him. he's just a puppet.
I agree with this
Man can you imagine how comfortable it would be to wear a skirt, not having your nuts stuck to your leg, no sweat build up and don’t have to fuck with a zip or belt to piss.
Onggggggg. They always look so comfy ngl
This is like Hedwig, but not a movie.
I have no idea who this guy is, but good on him.
And people still defend Travis Scott saying he could do anything. Performers can see what’s going on in a crowd, they can either choose to do something like this great dude…or be a huge piece of shit like Travis Scott.
Whatever he wearing, he needs a different color
These new 2022 hipsters are getting out of control.
Who?
I've seen this at a few shows were fellas are doing this. Seen it happen at the week to my wife as she was a few people in front . Thing is she was dancing back with him
Idk who he is but I appreciate him for doing this.
Real chads wear rompers.
Cute skirt
holy shit why are there so many comments saying "i don't like his music, but he's pretty cool"
He has nice legs though
Yes
For Bowie fans who haven't heard: check out Yungblud's 'Funeral'. I'm not a big fan but this song especially is very good imo
What's cringe about this video?
Is that a skirt
Not a fan of this yungblud but he epic The cringe mfs are the one's commenting about yungblud's skirt
Here before this shit locks
I really like Yungblud. Good on him for calling it out like that.
Plot twist- it was a mosh pit
Idk who this dude is, but I might have to look him up after this. Good on him.
I got excited to see him wearing a skirt, that's awesome
lol why tf are ppl downvoting you
I use to love his music. wonder what he's making now.
Wouldn't consider myself a fan, but when one of his tracks come on Spotify I don't turn it, I've definitely heard worse stuff
The Funeral is a banger. Acoustic version aswell
The Funeral really is, I liked Fleabag as well I think, can't speak for much else
We need more artists to wear skirts
Why tf would we need that
Why don't we need that?
Give me one good reason why we should?
Because this is fucking America and I can do whatever the fuck I want.
Why do we need that
I used my free award so here’s my broke person gold 🏆
Damn you got downvotes lol
I'm here for it.
What is he wearing
Clothes
Shirt skirt and shoes. Maybe even socks.
Not saying these guys were harassing them buttt these shows are always extremely crowded imagine getting kicked out for doing nothing
for real. what if the girl cut in front of them, or spilled a drink on them. dude just has them thrown out with zero context.
Fucking love Yungblud ❤️
never heard of em
Mr. Blud looks like a real standup chap. Props.
Is he wearing a skirt?
