I was told about this band today and a coworker showed me a youtube video of what they're like.
My question is not a joke, but the existence of this band may be?
Help me understand? Wtf this is? Is this an attempt to troll the world that people have accepted as "rock music" so they kept going? Is this "real music" and I'm the idiot?

It feels like elevator music for people in the "Beavis and Butthead" universe.

WTF IS HAPPENING?! (And no I'm not just talking about their absolutely ludicrous appearance, I'm talking about the whole package. The music sounds like LSD fueled song intros looped together without ever reaching a chorus, ever.

I think they are really good. I like progressive metal like Tool, Karnivool and Messuggah so it's right up my alley.

I think the costumes and back story is a fun joke. The music is fun too.

    You would compare them to Tool? Now this HAS to be some mass trolling thing happening.

    That's pants-crapping levels of crazy.

    Have you heard of Frank Zappa? Do you think his music was good or was he trolling everyone? It's a legit question.

    Ofc I've heard of Zappa. I'd struggle more if I hadn't learned when I was younger that he named his child "MoonUnit"- that fucked with me for weeks. This 'music' fucks with me, and not because I "don't get it", but because it's like auditory torture.
