Babymetal isn't weird, they're just Japanese.
I dont like their music but they are fine
ladybeard definitely weirder
Not good either
Should team with Rammstein
Weird is the normal in their culture
Every band on this list is tame and conventional compared to the total insanity of GG Allin. The man was actually fucking insane.
Agree .on another level of mindfucked.
I actually got into GG because I wanted something so different, so fucked to make me forget about the fact that as a woman shit like this would be unacceptable. No one who I’ve hanged out even the metal heads and the punks and the weirdos, see this shit coming, but the fact that I hang out with a lot of undesirables why are they surprised? Yes, I like make up and feminine shit but also I like shit that’s weird and looked down on. I think this why I fucking love Yolandi from Die Antwood.
Used to listen to him a lot. Gotta say, had to be a very specific type of angry to like it
GG Allin wasn't insane he was fucked up arrogant and thought he was it all... nvm okay he was fucking insane lmao
@@seanceknowles2911 Who are you talking to?
Fun fact: Ween was Stephen Hillenburg's ( the creator of Spongebob) favorite band, so much so that he had them write and perform the song about tying your shoes for the show.
They were also involved
with the theme & music
for the sitcom "Grounded For Life".
Ween is alive
I got autism reading ur comment
@@djfhhfjdjfb951 why? because he said the creator of Spongbob likes the band.
@@aylasthyston611 no the grammar was ass
Frank Zappa was one of the realist dudes in music ever. Just listen to his interviews. They picked like, the worst clip of him performing imo but like his music is fucking incredible.
Agreed. Weird but also a genius
Chris Dorsey yea and beside the lyrics the actual quitar schemes are actually super good
not disputing his Talent... BUT... Look at what he named his children (30+ years before weird Celebrity Baby Names were 'in') and isn't he the guy who released an Instrumental Album, with "unconventional" song Titles solely to Troll moral Guardians... Love him or not he earns the "weird" title
Agreed!!
@Johnny Stardon He never did drugs or drank.
The guys in GWAR look like they're out to destroy the Power Rangers
Danny Kopcik only they'd kill them because they kill everything and I'd love to see that
GWAR is an amazing band.
Austen Bailey my favorite band that I grew up with
I'm just glad I got to see them a few times before dave died
Austen Bailey i didn't even get to
The WatchMojo crew are the real weirdos
Facts
What John Lennon would say
Hah.
And that proves you've never heard of The Residents
You probably didn’t hear them say “we’re not saying these bands are bad” at the beginning
Les Claypool and Frank Zappa are the two most talented musicians on the list. They can play good straight music but choose to play from the heart and mind
If you're including the honorable mentions Buckethead is a virtuoso
And Buckethead
I would say that Frank Zappa plays good music that are played from the heart and mind!
Trevor Dunn from bungle is just as skilled as claypool he just lacks the charisma and stage presence.
I love Primus
I was today years old when I knew that Primus played the South Park theme song.
They also do the Robot Chicken theme song!
Get on the trolley. Les is the guy playing banjo in the opening theme for South Park.
@MR.CLAW97 yes because a kids favorite thing to do is read the credits
I always thought they channeled their inner XTC for that theme song
The Residents really ought to be number one. Also: Nurse With Wound, Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, Naked City, Diamanda Galas, Comus, Bongwater, The Shaggs, Throbbing Gristle, Yoko Ono, Whitehouse, Scott Walker, The Flaming Lips, Butthole Surfers, and Britney Spears.
Rob B. what the fuck are you doing here, driftin? small world...
Samuel Sá 1216 hi :) erm, you obviously know me from somewhere but I'm embarrassed to say I don't know you back! Refuge? NoDo? IMDb?
Rob B. NoDo
Samuel Sá 1216 oh! What's your name in the crew? :)
Rob B. i'm anadraps, the caddy GP guy
I LOVE Steam Powered Giraffe. They have a quirky schtick but their musically brilliant. They have an eclectic sound, right harmonies, and unique percussion.
Juat found those guys a couple of days ago myself....came across my feed for some reason. Have to say i dig it. Cool gimmick and good melodies
Insane clown posse? Detroit gangstas? These guys are retarded! The chick that are juggalettes are mostly fat girls that I wouldn’t fuck with the torch of Gondor!
Favorite song, electricity is in my soul, no question
Saaame
This video is what introduced me to them 🙌
Only 8 days later after this video, one of the weirdest but best bands released a few demo tapes
The Ned Flanders band Okilly Dokilly
They are truly spectacular
Yeah, they are amazing, my favourite Nedal band
Zappa was a genius, way ahead of his time and blazed his own path, was a very underrated guitar player as well. RIP
Ahead of this time would mean people are playing like him in the future..in the future nobody likes that shit.. retarded
Primus and Ween are my two favorite bands. I honestly don't think Primus is all that weird. If you've ever heard Les Claypool talk you'd understand he's just a fisherman from SoCal with a hick sensibility.
Primus sucks.... ;)
Primus one of my favorite as well.
Deaner loves fishing as well and now Deaner and Les are fishing buddies.
Combine them and you get peenus
"Primus SUCKS!" 🤪😸😁
aaaaaaand here it is. The day WM put Death Grips in one of their vids. They kept hinting at them over and over, and its finally here.
They were in one of their videos last year
pointfive blackman Which one?
Hey we're on the top independent rappers list
Dusta Rhymes U like DG?
alfie griffiths
noided since 2013
I know its spelt Die Antwoord, but its actually pronounced “Dee-aunt-vord” and it means “the answer” in Afrikaans. :)
Yup Or In My Language 'Het Antwoord' Which Is More Or Less The Same. 😁
You have to admit, Die Antwoord goes hard in every song.
Yesssss
YESSS!
Hell yeah
Proudly South African baby
Buckethead and Primus aren't really weird so much as just overflowing with skill on their perspective instrument that they have to make their own genre of music. Also for shame you didn't mention The Residents, Mindless Self Indulgence, or Little Big...
There are tons of weird bands if you're going to include Japanese artists, like Policeman, Genki Sudo, Daoko, and group_inou
Agree with you on little big
primus suck
@@strife10301 Yeah Primus suckssssssssss
PRIMUS IS A MASTERMIND AND ONE OF THE BEST BASS PLAYERS EVER, I WILL FIND YOUR LOCATION AND STRANGLE YOU, LISTEN TO MR CRINKLE OR MY NAME IS MUD. MABYE THE CANDYMAN. SHAKE HANDS WITH BEEF. Oh wait oh no that’s the primus phase, primus sucks
Primus wins this whole thing hands down. They are the only musical artists with their own ID3 tag. 'nough said.
Captain Beefheart...not even an honorable mention?!?
62Roybe exactly, they should definitely be on the list
Not even the "Bonzo Dog Doo-dah band" were mentioned. :/
Apparently not as weird as ICP.
Lol, to be fair, you could have added any 60's psych band.
Television?
I speak for South Africa concerning die antwoord, we are not all this weird 😂💀
Thank you
I like how the toleam of WatchMojo left the word "P○Es" un bleeped
I wouldn't have any problem with them if they weren't racist and homophobic.
@@chriss.2978 Their dj is gay.
And using N Word is sth different in SA
I worked with some South Africans in the US about ten years ago. They introduced me to Die Antwoord and they were all about them. They knew how to party, too.
Too bad.
I love Primus, Babymetal, Dir En Grey, Marilyn Manson and Gorillaz
BABYMETAL 4 LIFE.
***** Hell Yes! I think they should be higher comparing to their website where viewers cast their likes.
I think they're a bit, well let's just say I don't like them
***** There's a lot more better Japanese bands than BABYMETAL, they are only getting well known in other countries because their agent has got them out there! they got famous over one night where as there is better Japanese bands out there that have put a lot of hard work and effort into getting where they are now!
Babymetal is for autistic kids
JRockSamurai Shane Wagakki, Aural Vampire, and yucat I know, any others?
You have Insane Clown Posse, but not The Residents?
The Residents have their eyes on you.
What about TWIZTID? #johngoblikon
@Todd Lynch yeah, obviously. Otherwise the average viewer won't know any of the bands and will get bored kf the video.
Those eyeballs...
fully agree and add Snakefinger to weirdos and you got it !
Ninja said that Kanye invited him to his mansion, and after spending the day with him, declared him the weirdest person ever
Ye called Ninja the weirdest person ever, or Ninja called Ye?
@@kylatokki22 Ninja said that Kanye is the weirdest person he's ever met
Literally most of these are not even relatively weird. 🤦🏼♀️
Ya, right?! Where the f are the Residents???
Explain why Ween isn’t weird.
@@DrNothing23 you literally can't have a weird bands list without The Residents
Yeah, it’s just people with unusual voices or costumes
Die Antwoord is weird as fuck but also so brilliant
+Cassandra indeed
+Cassandra yep. PROUD TO BE A SOUTH AFRICAN!!
+Cassandra I don't get it.
+Cassandra love them
+Cassandra love them
Manson and MSI should have definitely ranked around Die Antword.
Marilyn Manson is a lone ranger and what is msi
@@ericaburns8652 mindless self indulgence
MSI is so odd but sooo good! For younger fans who like MCR, the lead singer of MSI sings on the song “Destroya,” and Gerard way married the bassist
@@ericaburns8652 only the coolest band ever
Personally I'm a huge Die Antwoord fan. They are oddballs but their music is full of BANGERS
Buckethead, one of the best guitarists of all time
Frank may have been weird, but he’s easily one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time.
Also this list needed more TISM
Guillotine is the feeling of your hand falling asleep.
By that I mean the first song and band in the video.
I whole heartedly agree
LOL!!!
I don't consider insane clown posse a band or musicians. There horrible
Hunter McDaniel They're*
That's too bad
And that's ok, but they not only are without a doubt the weirdest, shitiest, coolest, absolutely horific band probably ever, they have millions of followers and literally have their own religion and style of music (if you even dare to call it that). Based on the category you can't deny ICP is at the top, and love them, hate them, or not give 2 shits about them, you have to at the very least respect their upbringing and what they do for their followers.
Fucking magnets how do they work?!!
So is your grammar
Babymetal is the definition of manufactured, there's absolutely nothing weird about a cliche that you could see coming from a mile away.
Outside of that, this list is all over the place and I'm okay with that. Glad MSI made it on there somewhere.
Nice 69 likes
Primus has ALWAYS been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid. My Name Is Mud, Southbound Pachyderm, Mr. Krinkle, and Wynona's Big Brown Beaver were all headbangers to me
Is it just me or is ICP the least wierdest on the list?
True
found the juggalo
There is nothing weird about them.
Especially knowing they are from Detroit. Most of the groups out of the D have a gimmick. Its kinda their thing. Clown makeup was the least strange thing on that list lol. People just love to hate these guys even though they have been going on close to 30 years strong.
@Bob Villa You have obviously never actually listened to them. Your one of these super white dudes that has never listened to rap and thinks it all sounds the same even though you have never really heard any of it. Cant tell them apart? Thats literally insane and shows me you have never heard anything. Their sound is so unique it started an entire sub culture called juggalos the music being known as wicked shit. from which all kinds of rappers emerged from like tech nine and hopsin. And thats just 2 of many. You have no idea what your talking about. Ignorant people hate what they don't understand. They wear face paint. They dont dress like clowns. But you sure sound like one.
Primus fans wya?!?
Primus sucks!
PRIMUS SUCKS!
Sup
SLAP BASS you are a disgrace to bass 😡
SLAP BASS ^ get a load of this guy...
GG Allin at 7! He threw shit at his fans
I loved Die Antwoord before I even knew they were a band. Freaking love District 9!!
You’re thinking of Chappie. Same director though
Isn't die Antwoord like half of all the characters in the movie chappie
They were a band a long time before the film. :) But yeah they are! X
@@evarosesummerfield9311 ok
Actually, iirc, Ninja and maybe yolandi too wrote the movie.
I like chappie.... it needs a sequel.
yeah those two fuckmothers..lol
I always thought insane clown posse was sort of a running gag that people had kept going for a tad too long. Does anyone legitimately listen to their music?
unFayemous eyup, jugaloos
Bro laire does this mean I'm about to get stabbed?
unFayemous if u to detroit, who knows
Bro laire not in the foreseeable future. Or unforeseeable future for that matter. It's not exactly a tourist hub now, is it?
Bro laire Sorry to ask, but what's a Jugaloo?
I like how they don't even touch the fact that juggalos are considered a gang by the FBI, and are known for violence towards non juggalos. Maybe that's what they meant by "their fans take it very seriously". Unreal
I have seen Gwar over a hundred times. Greatest band ever. And Baby Metal isn't weird even a little. GG is and will always be number 1. And Primus definitely isn't weird. Just incredible. I got fish with Dean from Ween a few times
The Residents should have made this list.
True. Their eyeballs are one of the most iconic appearances in any music scene ever. Their sound is super weird as well.
The Residents should have been #1 on the list.
I was going to say the same thing. They out-weird anything on this list by a long way!
+Unadin I agree they are literally the definition of weird in music
They're not actually a band.
They're an "art collective" whatever the fuck that means.
Also, Mindless Self Indulgence deserves to at least be mentioned
I agree.
Thank you.....when I seen them in 06 Jimmy urine jumped off stage an kissed me on the cheek lol asshole
Erin is eh they are at the end
But they are not wierd though...
@@raresoundwaves fuck you. I've long believed he is my soulmate. However, in the past year I've been proven wrong since it's obviously my pup, Pickle, who is truly my other piece. Still. I suppose he could still be a spirit animal. You were kissed by my spirit animal, and I have mild jealousy in my heart.
Zappa was amazing, because he was such a amazing guitarist. He worked with the amazing guitarist named Steve Vai. Same as Buckethead. Such talent, but just misunderstood. They just make music they like making.
Also, Primus? They aren’t “weird.” More, funky and great.
About 8/10 of these are listened to in our home on the regular
That means you're weird as well. Respect!
Good list of artists
Pls tell me death grips is one of them
Little Big would also fit in.
They could smh be seen as a russian equivalent to "Die Antwoord" :D
I like little big more
They make edm
I also like little BIG, but I’d consider them way light-hearted in comparison to Die Antwoord.
Little Big were dubbed "The Russian Die Antwoord" as their first gig was opening for the zef group
0:44 I think its because he said they were "excluding comedy bands... that tend to be weird for the sake of being funny". Little Big falls more into that category to me. They are weird but more for the sake of humor... and I also like them ... for that reason
Buckethead isn't weird. He's a goddamned genius.
wasn't he in Slipknot?
Geniuses are generally pretty weird
Michaela no guns and roses
@@Ruskay5 he was in guns and roses in the 2000's reboot organized by asshole hose I mean axl rose. He defiantly has a much more significant solo career and because of his secret identity he could be a member in an other great band and we wouldn't even know.
Jason Blackwell, have you ever seen him live? I don't think you know what you are talking about.
1. Infectious grooves
2. Barnes and Barnes
3. Psychotica
4. Green Jelly
5. Daisy Chainsaw
6. Something to Prove
7. Spiderbait
8. Was/Was Not
9. Buggles
10. Clutch
I saw Gwar on their last tour for the first time it was a blast, sucks I never saw them with Oderus/Brockie but Blothar is still awesome. And I saw Primus open for Tool in 2016 and of course it was awesome. Ween and Mr. Bungle are both sick as well but I’ve never seen them live.
the residents don't even get an honorable mention?
I KNOW! I CAME HERE TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE RESIDENTS!
DrummerBoyJack I know right! They're so avant-garde that should be on this list!
Out of the bunch they actually chose, The Residents should have been at the top, replacing ICP.
Couldn't agree more. Came here to hear them and Melt Banana.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) probably
Insane Clown Posse?? You must be kidding...
I was thinking the same thing and I'm a fan. Alice Cooper gets weirder than they do.
Juggalos/Juggalette's for life? 😁
Laziest, phoniest "rap" act in the world. Rappin' Granny's got more credibility.
+Crystal Nibarger More like people with some self respect... lol. ICP is a fairly dumb and unimpressive act, that resorts solely on violence and clichee "we're the baddest motherf**kers, yo" songs. And also the guys are pretty dumb and unimaginative, too. :D It's more of a degraded "showmanship" than art. Sorry, clowns... Frank Zappa's rotten bones have more mojo and talent than you.
yea they must be CLOWNING around.
I feel like babymetal would be the perfect group to do anime opening songs.
This is a great list. I was stoked to see GG Allin (I love the murder junkies), Frank Zappa and Gwar (seen them 12 times). May I suggest Winny Puhh and Psycho le cemu for future installments on this?
Mr. Bungle is a great band. They have legit hits, and they have Patton, a legend. Mr Bungle are master of transitions. Those sudden stops followed by a different tune, and isn't a medley.. Primus is the most original band out there, talent wise
i love marilyn manson my former best friend hates him thinks hes a devil worshiper i just like mansons music he use to get butthurt ditch me call me names if i ever listened to slipknots first two studio albums or anything marilyn manson i love his musicianship okay brian warner seriously is talented i dont get into his personal life i just enjoy the music he makes his very creative and talented
The Residents definitely should have made an appearance on this list.
My brain when I read that:
Here I am Constantinople, here I am
I agree. How do they ignore The Residents? It's probably only true fans know they exist.
Gamer Potheads I am not a true fanatic of The Residents, but I know of them. They're almost like....they could be residents of Snowdin, a location in the video game Undertale. Well, in my opinion.
YES
You can't make such a list without mentioning the residents!
So you’re telling me that the Grammys, during their show, almost had to announce the winner “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver”..........
That’s absolutely amazing!
Evidently, they've never heard tale of Nekrogoblikon, Okily Dokily, or Mac Sabbath.
They excluded comedy bands
Okilly dokilly is the greatest
@@anthonyyoder2841 They should have had Slipknot on this list.
Mr Bungle was awesome and Mike Patton is a damn GENIUS.

Bungles self titled is amazing
Bungle for the win. Their earlier stuff was best

LEAD ME TO THE LAND
THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
OCEAN MAN, THE VOYAGE TO THE CORNER OF THE GLOBE IS A REAL TRIP
OCEAN MAN, THE CRUST OF A TAN MAN IMBIBED BY THE SAND
SOAKING UP THE THIRST OF THE LAND
Ween and Mr Bungle are my two favorite bands, and Buckethead is the most insane guitar player I’ve ever seen. I love bands who can actually play their instruments.
And while he may disgust even his diehard fans, we all have a little GG Allin inside of us.
I’m about a country as it gets so is my family. We live on a farm I work at a feed mill and we all hunt but ICP is a family favorite of ours😂
Where’s captain beefhart and his magic band?
Yeah
You spelled DNA wrong
Fast and bulbous
oh, you know, because Insane Clown Posse is weirder than Trout Mask Replica... also, Beefheart said, "I may be hungry but I sure ain't weird" so I guess they took that into account.
Pena literally sounds like the soundtrack to Hell
I love death grips
no i love them most
The existence of the Clown Core requires an update to this video.
I love how i know like 90% of these. I am a part of my own music group and we are in the process of putting down some Demos, we are very inspired by gwar and Mr bungle in a way
Mindless self indulgence probably should've made the list.
Check out SevidemiC!!!☠♂
Definitely
they aren't werid 😔
Weird**
Not really, their style is pretty tame compared to the other artists on this list.
Anyone who thinks Ween and Marilyn Manson are weirder than GG Allin clearly doesn’t know GG Allin...
GG Allin sucks
Exactly...
andrew jones Manson has done some crazy shit though
andrew jones yeah but what about icp?
How the fuck are they #1?
James Burns late 70s and early 80s GG is amazing music
I've been a Primus fan since I was a pre-teen. My family had CDs from this band.
WHERE IS MY CLOWNCORE AT? I DONT SEE THEM HERE!?
They are clearly missing !! 😂
@@vincentmartagex8608 IT LOOKS SO! 😂
I'm happy Primus made the list (one of my favorite bands) but what about DEVO?
I was so sure, when the honorable mentions were over, it was gonna be DEVO.
As well as MGMT, Presidents of the United States of America, Man... or Astroman, Reverend Horton Heat or even Portishead. Lots of weird bands out there.
+LyleVSXyle - DEVO: the 1980s iconic group for 'weird'...and way more successful than most of these...not even an HM?

Saw Primus once. If anything was weird it was the fact every. single. person (except me and my Dad) was drunk/high/both and not afraid of hiding anything, including the flasks being passed around like free candy.

@@Phillyjoe2 wait..wait. LOOPDE LOOP AND PULL
And Your Party. And that cowboy record... we could go on and on.
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PUT INSANE CLOWN POSE ABOVE GWAR!!??!!!
Insane Clown Posse are weirder thanks to their cultlike fan base, wrestling associations, and the shit show that is the Gathering. As performers they're kinda cut from the same cloth as GWAR. Dick jokes, costumes, spraying liquids at fans, fantasy backstories, violent imagery... Pretty much the same shit.
Not sure why ICP fans don't realize it's a joke though.
Thank you. Dudes dressed in clown makeup and you take them that seriously?
I know, RIGHT?!
sporeman29 i wouldnt even put icp in a top ten icp songs list...
Torey Smith I knew Dave Brockie, nice enough guy, but a genius? Gimme a break. Dude was just a stoner art school guy.
There’s no way they actually didn’t put Bloodhound Gang on here.
It’s funny because this video was recommended under a clown core video.
I was always told that GWAR stood for "God What A Racket" and as far as Zappa goes, most geniuses are more than their fair share of weird!
I always heard the same but the A stands for awful.
@@robertgriffith3416 Oderus disputed that in a Fox interview, it's just shortened from their original name; Gwaaarrrgghhlllgh.
@@itsfine5818 That's just stupid Robert. I've heard the answer is a combination of the first two posts. GWAR= God, What Awful Racket.
Okay but Steam Powered Giraffe has some cool songs
Excluding the weird Country songs, yeah
...especially when they're teamed up with Professor Elemental.
Actually all of them
They really do
So apparently Joseph Bruce got the ICP idea from a dream he had of a clown running around Detroit. Thus ICP was changed from Inner City Posse to Insane Clown Posse.
Nina Hagen? Diamanda Galás? Current 93? Scraping Fetus off the Wheel? J.G. Thirlwell? Lydia Lunch? But, I love all the bands you listed
Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV?
Also Devo, as somebody else suggested.
+Matthew McVeagh valid points, but of course about .01% of the world has heard of those first two bands.
+Matthew McVeagh The ONLY time Devo have ever gotten acknowledged by these Mojo assbites ( to my knowledge ) has been as an "80's one hit wonder"!
+Matthew McVeagh they had gg on here, I cant complain they didnt have throbbing gristle
+Matthew McVeagh How the Hell could they miss Devo?
+Matthew McVeagh Devo was the first band that I thought of.
No Okily Dokily?!?!?!
Like they said, no joke bands. They were formed simply for fun, using lyrics and appearances from The Simpsons, as a gag.
ScottishNoob I'm guessing you came to this video from the recommendations on "white wine spritzer".... As did I lmao
In no particular order (except the first two): the residents, Renaldo & the loaf, Faust, Snakefiger, Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Butthole Surfers, Naked City/John Zorn, Captain Beefheart, Tipographica, Legendary Pink Dots, U Totem, Motor Totemist Guild. The fact that none of these bands were mentioned shows me that the people at watch mojo have never heard any TRULY WEIRD music in their lives! Props on mentioning Zappa and Bungle though
I love Marilyn Manson. He's one of my favorite musicians of all time.
explains a lot about you as a person
The Residents, anyone?
Yes
+sebaEGG the few videos ive seen from the residents I think weird is an understatement
+sebaEGG Honestly, of all the bands I expected them to leave out, I really thought they'd get Residents.
+sebaEGG The fact they're not on the list is blaphemous
Thank God you named them! I think they would be on the top of the list!
In my humble opinion, Mr. Bungle, Frank Zappa and Primus are the best ones of the list, but The Residents cannot be weirder than they are. They are unique.
And I would include The Boredoms too, but that's a different story...
Ninja from Die Antwoord is a better rapper than he gets credit for.
Yolandi too though.
I'd probably be able to appreciate their musical talents if their aesthetic wasn't being borderline retarded.
MomoTheBellyDancer Do they though? I mean, isn't it all show business? Isn't it all an act? That's kind of the point, I feel.
They both kill it!
He really is, those people are great at writing catchy shit
I saw the Frank Zappa Band in Canada in 1972.
It was a 13 piece Band with Ian Underwood on Sax!
I miss Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band
where my death grips fans at
Fluffy ayee
YUH
right here
YAAH
Eh.
I love steam powered giraffe. I was introduced to them by a friend a few years back and loved them since. The steam punk nature they have and put into there music and their outfits is amazing. The bios they come up with each band member and the world they live in is amazing as well. They maybe be “weird” but they are totally inspirational. One of their latest songs, Malfunction, talks about how you should be proud of the things that make you different like: being transgender to ADHD, and says all people should be praised.
Right?! I love them so much
