So little 8 year old Juliet created quite a internet sensation with her brilliantly amazing, "My First Hardcore Song" video on Youtube earlier this month.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching this. The trampoline breakdown & flying stuffed animals is the raddest thing I've ever seen in my life!
A lot of people were talking about this video last week. Everyone seemed to get a kick out of it and I see why, the girl is adorable. Of course some people seemed to dig it more than others. Normal folk without any knowledge of modern hardcore/metal see a little girl rocking out over some loud instruments and chuckle. What they don't seem to get are the major lulz derived from lil Juliet taking cliches from this music genre and showing just how ridiculous they really are.
The stuff she references like "opening up the pit," "getting your two-step on" and even singing about her most cherished friendships (replacing her "crew" with dog and fishes) are usually reversed for dudes like this...only they're dead serious when they do it!
Anyways, seeing Juliet's rapid rise to internet stardom reminded me of a video I saw years ago. Allow me to introduce, Death Metal Rosie!
Lol @ her coughing/spitting at the end! She's basically doing her best cookie monster impersonation...and it rules!
That's it. Kids listening to & loving metal/hardcore with their folks. Brings a smile to my face.
LOL she gave those serious guys a run for their money and that last one is soo funny, cookie monster is about the size of it.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. Love the trampoline part
ReplyDeleteHahah those are great!
ReplyDeleteCan I steal her for my band?
ReplyDeleteawesome. kind of surprised death metal rosie kept it going as long as she did. pretty sure i'd lose my voice quickly
ReplyDeleteAWW that second video! I would be such a proud parent..
ReplyDeleteSo weird seeing videos like Juliet's become insanely popular. It's cute, but amazing that it hasn't been done before. Maybe that's just the cynic in me though.
ReplyDeleteDeath Metal Rosie is awesome haha.
ReplyDeleteThe world needs more lil metalheads. I'd rather see my kids in band shirts than miniskirts.
ReplyDeleteThat last video is great haha. There's something extremely cool about metal loving children, I guess it's just really cute or something.
ReplyDeletehahaha how the f did i miss this, thanks for the share
ReplyDeleteyesss rock on \m/
ReplyDeleteHaha so cute.
ReplyDeletecute...
ReplyDeleteHopefully l'il Juliet's song will inspire some acts to up their game.
ReplyDeletekids and death metal. Just cant go wrong. lol.
ReplyDeleteNow this is a kid with some cool parents! She's also done a great performance. I see a Grammy in her future. I've put your blog on my blogroll. Feckin' blogger has glitches and your blog doesn't show up in my reader. They really need to fix these problems
ReplyDeleteKids know what cool music is if their parents do. People who like crappy music are usually the product of parents that did.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the D-man. Kids sing the darndest things.
ReplyDeleteJuliet is awesome! I mean the song is like FTW! and about Rosie, I'm not quite sure about what's more impressive, the little girl growling like if there's no tomorrow, or the other guy playing guitar and drums at the same freaking time! \m/
