0:06Ooh, it has a pretty big impact because all the young kids growing up right now on TikTok.

0:12And I remember, you know, even when I started YouTube, that was like a newer thing.

0:16People were discovering music through YouTube.

0:18I discovered a lot of like the big bands I listened to growing up through YouTube.

0:21And that was like unheard of.

0:22You know, it was like, no matter what, it was usually all on the radio or like, I don't know, your brother gave you like a cassette or like a CD.

0:29So that was already such a new thing.

0:31There was kids discovering music through the internet.

0:33And I mean, MySpace, YouTube, I mean, Facebook to some capacity after that.

0:39So TikTok was kind of just that next generation of people scrolling and whatever they might be doing, doom scrolling or just, you know, I don't try to find cooking recipes.

0:48And then all of a sudden, you know, if they like music in any capacity, or even if they don't, you know, they hear a sound and they're like, this is cool.

0:56And a lot of things with modern metal is there's a lot of good clip moments usually with modern metal, particularly, you know, whether it's the breakdown or the elder breakdown or the crazy vocal moment or even on the guitar, so crazy guitar moment, maybe drum moment, right?
