  Please help me out here. I was never a huge Tool fan, but I did have Undertow, but I’m missing the joke here.

    A lot of the lyrics to tool songs focus on transcendental, spiritual, or psychedelic experiences. They also feature complicated compositions and a high degree of technical skill. As a consequence, some folks that have a “I’m on a higher plane of existence compared to you sheeple” attitude are attracted to the band. Which I think is what the meme is poking fun of.

    There is some truth to it I suppose. When pusicfer (whose lead is the singer from tool) released Apocalyptical during the pandemic (a song that was clearly criticizing the stupidity of covid deniers/misinformation consumers) a lot of tool fans got upset because the song was not consistent with their conspiratorial world-view

      This is a good explanation. I love tool but I am not very smart nor don’t have a very good grasp in music theory. I just really really like the way their music sounds and it makes me feel a lot of things.

    Many tool fans fancy themselves as deep intellectuals, simply because of their understanding of Tool’s themselves, musical scales, etc. and think that other people just don’t “get it”.

      Which is ironic because there are other prog bands out there that have far more complicated music. It just happens that Tool is one of the more accessible prog bands to casual listeners, the very ones who claim to like “complex” music.

    Some Tool fans were pretentious. The music is complicated and hard to get into. Some songs are not in 4/4 time. The lyrics are hard to understand, dark and depressing. It was a good band for a kid who wanted to project the image of a brooding misanthrope. Most of the people this applied to are in their 40’s now probably.

  I’m sure the lyric “shit the bed again, typical” resonated with him very strongly.

  As their song goes, “there’s a schism between us, baby.” Or, perhaps more relevantly, “it’s like he’s both 46 and 2” from their album Vaginal Biome Destruction.

  But… the one time I listened to Tool I listened to Ænima (on cassette) while taking mushrooms and they kicked in right at the end of (-) Ions and when Third Eye started I was off my face and didn’t know what was happening.

  That makes me different… right? 🤒
