‘Karen Metal’ is Exactly What You Think It Is (And It Kinda Slaps)

"Karen" videos remain a popular genre on various social media platforms, and one brilliant person has decided to take these horrendous, obnoxious women and turn them into heavy metal singers.

YouTuber Andre Antunes is the force behind "Karen Metal" in which he takes a viral "Karen" video and sets it to a metal riff. Truthfully, we'd be lying if we said his songs aren't brilliant and oddly catchy. Considering the plethora of "Karen" videos out there, he could easily expand this genre into literally hundreds of videos.

Scroll below to view Antunes' work. Oh...and these videos contain NSFW language. Then again, the behavior of these women is NSFS: Not Suitable for Society.

Karen Metal 1

This Karen is very concerned about democracy.

Karen Metal 2

This Karen absolutely freaks out and wants to "have a swim in peace."

Karen Metal 3

This Karen loses her damn mind in a Victoria's Secret store.

Karen Metal 4

The fourth installment of Karen Metal is a super cut of two breakdowns: One Karen is the "CEO of Hangry" after not eating during a ten-hour shift at work, while the other Karen, who appears to be an instructor of sorts, has a very strict "No Pomegranates" rule. This is a strange one, indeed.

Karen Metal 5

Like "Karen Metal 4," "Karen Metal 5" is a supercut of two different Karens: The first Karen is very angry about no one giving up their seat for her on public transit, while the second Karen is furious at people for filming her freak out of which there is no context. Regardless, yikes!
