Falling In Reverse - "Popular Monster"

This song is therapeutic for me when I am dealing with mine. Blast it in the vehicle and it just gets all those emotions out. For Ronnie, I read that this song is about his depression. His mom was a drug addict and absence for most of his childhood which led him to have a trouble passed as he was growing up and into young adulthood.

This song would go so hard on a cod zombies map

The more I listen to this band the more I find music that expresses the chaos and darkness in my own head. It's a dangerous place in here and a constant fight for survival. I'm saddened that others do know and can relate to where I'm at and somehow at the same time a little relieved not to be as totally alone as my mind tries to convince me I am. This rollercoaster ride is exhausting and not one that I can ever get off of. I'm worn out to absolute exhaustion, weakened and weary.

This song shows the side of pure rage to feeling depressed and tired of not being okay and things not working out. It's beyond frustrating. Makes you wanna cry a lot, but sometimes you just want scream and rage! Exactly how I feel right now.

Just heard this song for the very first time and it hits hard.

I suffer from depression, severe anxiety, and I'm bopolar and just found out I have psychosis.. this song hits the facts so hard

This song got me out of depression.

God has blessed this man with talents us mortals only dream of.

This Song is clearly a showcase of insane progress of the vision, we need more!!!
so many skills, so many emotions, such a strong message, brilliant!

As someone who is going through depressions my whole life this hits so hard. I wish more people would know this song to understand what it is.

Unbelievable I have never heard of this song before - it's a true masterpiece

SOMEONE TAKE MY DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AWAY‼️‼️‼️‼️ YOU COULD HAVE IT IF YOU WANT❗️❗️❗️❗️

Linkin Park brought me to this band and this song... I can see why... Depression is not just sadness and lethargy, it's very much about the rage at being helpless in the state you find yourself in. Chester chanelled that rage very well and gave voice to what I've felt since childhood, and I feel the same about this too.

That transition from I’m a popular, popular fucking
MONSTER to that scream is INSANE, one of my top 3 moments in metal for sure.

This song ghos finally reached 200 MILLION VIEWS. And it deserves every single one of them.

I worked on this video, making the werewolf. One of the best directors ever, Jensen. Such a blast.

This song saved my life this week. ❤

It’s time I tell my story. When this song came out I was in and out of jail, addicted, and homeless. Now I have a husband, home and good job. This song and “Clover Cage - The Final Round” are the two songs that helped me get through my depression. I just want people to know things do get better. We are in this together. :) you are worthy of love and good things happening to you

I feel like no one noticed that at the end of the video there are no bodies in the courtroom and no bodies in the building where the monster came to life. Also, the daughter wasn’t real, he was just holding nothing. It was always just him and his monsters. I think that’s kind of the point of the video.

Aside from the 'popular' bit, I have CPTSD, Depression, Anxiety, MDD, ADHD, and a lovely social phobia!
So, I can absolutely relate to this song!

Can't belive I discovered them just recently.

Im old, but this song helped me reach my son and got him off the ledge. Literally off the ledge. Thank you, he means everything to me

2026 peeps where yall at?

Welcome back, I know this isn’t your first time.

2026 anyone ❤️‍🔥🤘🏻🔥

Even after the 1000's of times I've listened to this song, I still get chills. I love this song.

He can rap,scream and can turn up into melodious voice...rare singer

I'm 65, a grandmother, my life's been rough and mostly crappy since I was born. I love this song! 🖤

Most people think of depression as the deep sadness. They dont realize that there is a underlying rage about being helpless and feeling that nothing will every get better. This song exemplifies that rage.

Edited: Damn I did not expect this comment to blow up. I appreciate you all taking time to understand what I took from this song. Depression is very real and sucks. If you are going through anything I hope you get through it. I hope you stay strong and beat it.

I'm not sure if the band have noticed it but, they just created a fucking anthem, this song is such a masterpiece... They blow me away

« And what if I were to lie? Tell you everything is fine
Every single fucking day I get closer to the grave, I am terrified » It hit hard

Falling into love? , falling apart?, nah I'm pretty sure hes falling in reverse

My 10 year old nephew told me he listens to this on his headphones during computer class. I’ve never been so proud haha

A lot of songs about depression focus on the quiet sadness of it, but this capture the pure, seething rage of feeling broken beyond repair

I love how his daughter is the one that brings him back

typical artists: *recovering from addiction*
typical artists: time for a break from music
ronnie: *dropping bangers like never before*

My parents hate this song.
Me being the perfect daughter I am: plays this every day at least 40 times.

"I battle with depression, but the question still remains
Is this post-traumatic stressing or am I suppressing rage?" This hit close to home but damn the whole song does

“Every wall that I knock down is a wall that I replace”......that just hits home. I have no voice if my own, but Ronnie is my voice.

This song will be listened to by many generations after us.

That riff hits so hard my grandma thought Germans were back..

That line “it’s not a fucking phase, I just want to feel ok”, that hits hard.

I feel like this song is a physical embodiment of how it feels to live with depression. At first you just talk about it. You try to express yourself with words only the people that are supposed to help you just tell you it’s a phase or you’re just going through a dark patch and it’ll be over soon. Then you start getting aggravated because it DOESNT stop. It keeps growing and growing and getting stronger and you are just completely drowning so you get a little louder, only no one around you helps. Everyone gives you the whole “god has a plan, he has a plan” and you can’t live with the fact that he could do this to you.Then you just snap. You break, you scream, you become the monster you believed you were the whole time, the one thing you were petrified of becoming and completely lose your shit (expressed by the physical change into the monster) and basically black out. When you come to, everything is ruined and you have no idea what you’ve just done and are horrified with yourself.

This is so fucking powerful and will be something I’ll listen to religiously.

I normally don't listen to this kind of music but damn this man just screamed to some dark demons inside of me.. absolutely phenomenal

I love how he makes songs like these about his past. He doesn't try to hide anything, which is kind of cool

Imagine being the therapist that has to write down what this guy rapping

That drop that starts when he screams "I'm terrified!" Is just perfection, PERFECTION!

He put his whole heart and soul into this one

I feel like Ronnie deserves a lot of credit for his "acting" in this video. Just all around amazing.

Epitaph Records: "....yeah, sure we'll sign you. What genre are you again?"

Falling in Reverse: "Yes"
