Ranking Lolcow Musicians

Main summary

Key takeaways

Entertainment

Overview

This video is a humorous “tier list” ranking musicians the creator considers lolcows—people whose self-unaware, unintentionally foolish behavior (or public persona) becomes a repeat source of entertainment, often through cringe and second-hand embarrassment.

The host says the rankings are based on two factors:

  • Entertainment value: whether it’s worth watching
  • Enjoyment factor: whether it makes the host depressed versus amused

It’s explicitly not about “best quality,” though quality can still affect both scores.

Main Highlights by Artist

Middle Tiers and Above

  • Chris Barnes (Six Feet Under) Presented as a former Cannibal Corpse founding member whose vocals are famously terrible. The funniest emphasis is an absurd car commercial (“Parkland Auto Mall… come get your car”). The host claims it’s pure joy, placing him in the middle tier (raised to B) despite how awful his music is.

  • Corey Feldman Framed as sympathetic—he keeps trying new things that consistently miss and appears like a “magician,” suggesting he often exists to be watched for cringe.

    • Earns S tier entertainment
    • Drops because it also makes the host sad

  • DJ Khaled Described as the most straightforward comedic win: endlessly entertaining due to his self-hype, signature yelling, and chaotic moments (jet ski mishap, accidental oversharing, losing money quickly).

    • Called an S tier icon
    • Includes a especially funny story about a gifted songwriting guitar from the Bob Marley family

  • King Cobra JFS (high note ending) The host says they genuinely enjoyed his personality and found him likable, praising his dedication and massive output (15 full-length albums) including doom/gothic/black metal influences, plus comedy/Christmas/rap. While much of it is “garbage,” some is oddly funny and he occasionally makes surprisingly ambitious artistic swings.

    • Ranked S tier (chaotically mixed bag, but very entertaining and admirable)

  • Tom MacDonald Characterized as a famous right-wing rapper with major social-media influence. The lolcow angle is the contrast between lyrics mocking liberals and his own weird appearance/cognitive dissonance.

    • MacDonald and a feature with “Jax” land around E tier

  • Toby Turner / Tobuscus Once had legendary older songs, but current output is described as awful, filtered, and filled with weird AI-racist content, plus a “drug-fueled demise” that feels depressing.

    • E tier

Lower Tiers

  • Ronnie Radke Labeled a lolcow “with no denial,” described as easy to bait due to arrogance/narcissism/lack of self-awareness. The host struggles with ranking, landing around C tier, saying he’s more entertaining than Chris Barnes yet less likable.

  • Lil Pump Dated and no longer relevant; mild entertainment without much energy.

    • C tier

  • Onision Treated as a hard decline. The host mocks lines like “I’m a banana,” questions whether his work is bad ironically or not at all, and claims there’s basically nothing positive.

    • F tier

  • Chris Chan Mentioned briefly (the host avoids recounting the well-known story), but the music project is reviewed harshly: Christian and the Hedgehog Boys is described as not even fun ironically, just disappointing and more interesting to discuss than to listen to.

    • F tier

  • Daniel Larson The host says this gets morally murky due to the risk of harassment/bullying. The video doesn’t go deep into backstory, but discusses his music presence (only some songs are confirmed to be his).

    • “Roaring Thunder” is judged middle-of-the-road (C tier); production/autotune carries it
    • Includes a joke about the lack of a sequel due to indefinite incarceration, tied to another reference

  • Cryaotic Entering the darker side: involves deeply disturbing actions (including harm to a child), while the music is sampled only to show how unsettling/cringey it is.

    • F tier

  • Kanye West Once acclaimed, now portrayed as mentally deteriorating with public implosion. The host calls it entertaining but not fun, and argues the fanbase is dangerously gullible (even serious about running for president).

    • D tier

  • Grimes Framed less as a lolcow by herself and more as one “by osmosis” due to proximity to Elon Musk (treated like social suicide). Her music is “good sometimes,” but overall lackluster—implied mid-tier placement based on tier logic rather than a standalone letter.

  • Tiffany Trump’s attempted music Described as extremely Lady Gaga inspired but lacking “talent and charisma.” The host says it’s entertaining, but the body of work is tiny, limiting how high it can go.

    • D tier

  • Arbitrary/Edge Comparisons Mentioned: the video also places MacDonald and a feature with “Jax” around E tier, and discusses multiple public figures beyond the main ranking.

Recurring Jokes and Tone

  • The host repeatedly toggles between:

    • cringing
    • laughing at absurd public behavior (car commercials, self-hype, unintentionally cringe performances)

  • There’s frequent emphasis on persona vs. being yourself, with a running theme that lolcow entertainment is easier when the subject responds dramatically to provocation.

  • The creator acknowledges ethics: engaging with lolcow content can become harassment, especially for more dangerous or abusive figures.
