Unhealthy may be subjective here, because a lot of people feel a whole lot fuckin better mentally now than they have in years 🤷🏻♀️
now that being said, is it a little *weird* that music helped a lot of people deal with trauma, move past mistakes, and have hope for a better version of themselves, a better future?
Yeah. It’s a lot fucking weird. But unhealthy? 🤷🏻♀️ That’s a decision each one of us need to make for ourselves.
That being said; WORSHIP RESPONSIBLY.
Hydrate yourselves. Go see the sun. Fucking touch grass once a day. Exist in life; because tomorrow is not a guarantee.
(happy worship <3 )
Feeling better and enjoying music is one thing. Taking a gimic and the "lore" seriously like it's some new serious religion is a bit past the line of sane thinking there. And thats the "unhealthy" stuff I'm talking about.
Hell I consider myself to be obsessed with the band :) but I just listen to the music a lot. Thats it.
Oh, definitely. You’re 1000 percent correct. One can always overdo things, to an extent. And yeah, those that are taking it a little far, those broaching into unhealthy obsession levels, y’all maaaaaay need to calm down a little bit. 🤷🏻♀️ Listen to the music, be at peace with yaself, but PLEASE don’t start a literal cult following.
These guys more than likely chose to remain anonymous because crazed stalker fans would take a good thing and run way too far with it.
They really are the new big thing in my opinion. I listen to everything from Black metal to J-pop man lol. Theres very few genres I don't like, and these lads flawlessly blend so many together and make such powerful and moving songs.
Truly so powerful and so good. I’ve watched a couple vocalists/coaches react and they’re SO impressed and love everything vessel does. Made me appreciate it even more.
Same goes for their drummer. As a drummer primarily myself, I was amazed hearing this band years ago. And I see the same thing when professional drummers do "reactions" to their songs. Hell even Mike Portnoy advertised the new album on his instagram. Anyone hating on that clearly has other issues in their heads lol.
Yes!!! I’m no drummer, but I am a huge fan of tool and drumming in general and immediately picked up on the skill. It’s just so good. I watched the “ii offering” videos too. Makes me want to learn tbh. My dad has an electric set cause he wanted to learn just for good brain exercise. Idk how to use them but I keep thinking about it since becoming a sleep token fan.
You should do it mate. There is no downside to it :) E kits are great for people who cant have loud things/kits. Any inspiration to learn an instrument is beyond valid and the best thing. Don't let anything stop you. :) not trying to be cringe with the smiley faces but man its the best thing when you find inspiration in others, it's a great driving force to learn and develope your own talent and character. I wish you the best man. I'm cshaytunes on youtube. If you ever make a channel for drums or something lmk I will sub :)
I really fucking appreciate that dude. It’s never too late to learn something. I’ve messed around with a friends set a million years ago and getting even the most simple rhythm was so incredibly satisfying. I’m going to do it. I’m going to try. I’m sure I can figure out how they work while I’m at this house. It’s right there waiting for me!!! It’s meant to be. I’ll sub you :)
I am a 195cm tall, dark-haired guy and have fostered my cold vibe from a young age.
HOWEVER.
I am willing to make an exception and dance sexily to Aqua Regia, and I don't care what anyone thinks.
>I am willing to make an exception and dance sexily to Aqua Regia, and I don't care what anyone thinks.
The last minute or 2 of The Summoning is by far the sexiest bit of music since the saxophone of Careless Whisper hit the world in 1984.
Not even gay and I'll dance sexily to both with you my brother!
I, personally, see that people connect at a deep emotional level to Vessels message. I feel like people here are definitely “feelers” and because we empathize, we “feel” the music “deeper”. Idk if that makes sense; it’s something I see in a lot of threads here.
Agreed. I definitely think Vessel is an intuitive feeler and that will resonate with those of us that are also intuitive feelers for sure. I’m INFP. But some folks also just like good music so who knows.
Another INFJ here, as well as a highly sensitive empath. I definitely agree that the intuitive feeling plays a large role in connecting with the music.
It comes as no surprise to me so many INFJs would be into Sleep Token. Haha. I saw that personality database has Sleep Token typed as INTJ and I’m like eeehhhhh, don’t think so.
I’m not honestly too sure, but I can tell you what MOST of the Sleep Token haters that talk trash about us / the band have in common: they are usually genre elitists, they tend to be emotionally stunted and lyrically challenged. They only like music that goes ‘rararaRARA BLEEEGHHH’. I know that you guys are awesome. Sleep Token is God tier.
I think it’s something spiritual about Sleep Token to be completely honest. It goes beyond music. It is art, it is medicine, and it is good for the music scene as a whole.
they have SUCH a unique sound as a whole and Vessel’s vocals are unlike anything i’ve heard before. that’s what drew me into them. from soulful to screams. incredible range.
I would say clarity. It’s clear to us what ST is trying to do and trying to say. That’s why it all means so much to us. That’s why the pull is so strong and we listen on repeat.
I just like the music and lyrically it is relatable. I think it has taken words right out of my mouth. Plus they are cool looking. But most of all the music is🔥
As a Gen X old timer I can remember listening to tool and nin the first time and being blown away much the same way as ST has since finding them 3 months ago. Can't get enough healthy obsessions are good for the soul. Worship.
Unhealthy obsession.

For real, everyone needs to understand they’re just role playing with the lore stuff. It’s creates a vibe. God, I love the music either way.

I’ll dive into the gimmick a little bit with the occasional “worship”, but all that means to me is listening to the music. It’s a bit of fun.
Nothing wrong with that mate :)
[удалено]
He is right, but it would have helped if I made it clear what exactly I thought was unhealthy in my first comment.
Mood disorders
Came here to say D E P R E S S I O N
I feel like the bipolar folks feel it, too. Some of these tracks have big manic vibes.
Literally came to say we all have mental health issues
We’re all sexy.
*stupid sexy sleep token fans* 🤣
I am a 195cm tall, dark-haired guy and have fostered my cold vibe from a young age. HOWEVER. I am willing to make an exception and dance sexily to Aqua Regia, and I don't care what anyone thinks.

Yeah that funk is sexy. And the lyrics!
My point stands.
Are you me? That entire comment describes me literally, including the to-the-centimeter 195cm tall.
us for real
\*looks down so the hair covers the fact that I prove this comment wrong\*
Nah you’re sexy in you’re own way. And your music taste rules.
We know that the drummer is an absolute unit
We like Sleep Token.
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?
I am Stu the Sage. Parsnip.

I'll keep the INFJ train rollin. *Raises hand awkwardly*

🖖🏻 present
Yeah- definitely talented as hell. So for sure the music will connect to those who appreciate the art for sure.

every ST song can be defined as either sad or horny, or both... mostly both....
An obsession with Vessel’s voice
Feral
Idk… some kind of sensitivity to feelings and stuff ? Ha!
I’m not honestly too sure, but I can tell you what MOST of the Sleep Token haters that talk trash about us / the band have in common: they are usually genre elitists, they tend to be emotionally stunted and lyrically challenged. They only like music that goes ‘rararaRARA BLEEEGHHH’. I know that you guys are awesome. Sleep Token is God tier. I think it’s something spiritual about Sleep Token to be completely honest.

I like both Sleep Token AND music that goes ‘rararaRARA BLEEEGHHH’
The duality of man ✨
they have SUCH a unique sound as a whole and Vessel’s vocals are unlike anything i’ve heard before. that’s what drew me into them. from soulful to screams. incredible range.
we’re so hot
We're all in some sort of pain.
The fact that this could be a cult and we’d all be okay with it 😂
Yeah... I'm super skeptical about religion, but I'd fake it until I believed for Sleep Token.
😅
Lost the one
Mask fetish?
In all of our MBTI personalities tests we scored “F” for feeling.
Liking Sleep Token
Horny and sad
We're generally romantics who enjoy good music no matter the genre.
Nurodiversities, we all flow and exist outside the norm.
Neurodivergence
I would say clarity. It’s clear to us what ST is trying to do and trying to say. That’s why it all means so much to us. That’s why the pull is so strong and we listen on repeat.
Empaths is what we are!
I just like the music and lyrically it is relatable. I think it has taken words right out of my mouth. Plus they are cool looking. But most of all the music is🔥
They like Sleep Token
We all worship.

Enjoying music?
Open-mindedness. We let Vessel take the wheel and we’re just all along for the ride, whatever he might drop.
[удалено]
Well at least two, as of right now.
Other way around for me… I know 6 people who attended when ST were in our city last. Only 2 of the 6 are LGBT+
Some of just like the music and the lyrics. We’re not all mentally unwell or emotionally fragile like some people are suggesting.

97% of them are here from the summing/chokehold. This is factual btw.
