After Knocked Loose and Poppy performed on Jimmy Kimmel’s most recent Live! show, people reacted negatively. Show viewers have taken to social media to demand that Kimmel issue a formal apology, saying the broadcast provided “inadequate context” and “didn’t align with the tone” they were hoping for. Casual onlookers were allegedly “shocked” by Knocked Loose‘s set, while Poppy‘s performance prominently featured her creative, genre-defying approach. Others have conjectured that this could push the boundaries for exposing alternative and underground performers, even if Kimmel hasn’t openly responded to the issue. Although Kimmel’s audience and his musical guests have before clashed, it’s obvious that this combination struck a sensitive nerve. The discussion may be seen on the Facebook page’s comment section.
But then, metalheads came to the rescue.
