Ever listen to your favorite throwback hits and wish they were more metal? YouTubers Joey and Brandon did, and made a bunch of ’90s hits a lot heavier. Whether you’ll enjoy this or not probably depends on if you’re interested in hearing songs by Weezer, Radiohead, Nirvana, Sugar Ray, MC Hammer and Backstreet Boys djent-ed up. It’s pretty fun, even if there’s no rhyme or reason as to the songs that get covered. It might make you want to go back and listen to the originals, or perhaps realize that you’re glad it’s not the ’90s any more.
