My take on Lil Pump's "heavy metal" song

Maybe you know this because of Steve Terreberry's video, or maybe you do not know this at all, but, Lil Pump released a "heavy metal" song. 
The title of the song, if you didn't already know it, it's "Pump Rock x Heavy Metal".

You guys know better than me that I am no crusty Gen X person commenting music without listening to it. So I went for it and decided to torture myself, with the hope that the song would've been good...somehow.

It's just so fucking bad and the lyrics make no sense, I'm putting them down here:

[Pump Rock:]
(CB on the beat)
Yeah (Yeah), yeah
Yeah (Yeah), ayy

Pump rock shit (Yeah)
Slit my wrists (Slit)
Fuck that bitch (Uh)
Drop-top whips (Uh, yeah)
Go (Go), go (Yeah), go (Go)
Go (Go), go (Yeah), go (Go)
Pump rock shit (Yeah)
Slit my wrists (Slit)
Fuck that bitch (Uh)
Drop-top whips (Woah, yeah)
Go (Go), go (Yeah), go (Go)
Go (Go), go (Yeah), go (Woah)

[Heavy Metal:]
CB on the beat
Woah (Hoo), Jet
Ooh, Bi-Bighead on the beat
Yeah, yeah, Lil Pump

This that heavy metal, put the FN to his temple (Uh)
This that heavy metal, Draco hangin' out my trenchcoat (Woah)
She swallow nut like Jell-O, roll 'em up in cigarello (Uh)
Fifty thousand dollars just to [?] (Uh)
This that heavy metal shit, I got slits all on my wrist (Uh)
This that heavy metal shit (Woah), I got slits all on my wrist (Uh)
This that heavy metal shit, I got slits all on my wrist (Uh)
This that heavy metal shit, I-I got slits all on my wrist

I need an emo bitch to cum 'round my dagger dick
O-Only sippin' on Wock-Wock-Wock-Wock, I don't sip no Tris
Pull up and I'm with a Glock-Glock-Glock, I'm a narcissist
Jump in the mosh-mosh-mosh-mosh-mosh, I'ma go stomp a bitch
Uh, look how my diamonds hit, uh, look at what I done did, uh
Crash the Porsche and I crash the Bentley, I'm crashin' all type of whips
She suckin' on me and the whole gang-gang, she suckin' all type of dicks
This that heavy metal, heavy, treat my Lambo like a Chevy
She sellin' pussy on Amazon, woah
I fuck on your bitch with her tampon on (Uh)
Slit wrist, uh, I can not feel shit, uh
If you overdose on Qualitest, then you're a bitch

This that heavy metal, put the FN to his temple (Uh)
This that heavy metal, Draco hangin' out my trenchcoat (Woah)
She swallow nut like Jell-O, roll 'em up in cigarello (Uh)
Fifty thousand dollars just to [?] (Uh)
This that heavy metal shit, I got slits all on my wrist (Uh)
This that heavy metal shit (Woah), I got slits all on my wrist (Uh)
This that heavy metal shit, I got slits all on my wrist (Uh)
This that heavy metal shit, I-I got slits all on my wrist

As you might have noticed, not really the most poetic lyrics here. The song takes all of the worst stereotypes of heavy metal music and mixes them up, both exaggerating and using terms that are not part of the subculture. 
This song basically represents what the majority of my relatives think heavy metal music is, but let's talk about it merely from a sound perspective.

It's just so bad, I have never heard something that expresses a stereotype so precisely and so badly. The base keeps on repeating a constant riff that sounds super awful. In general it could have been a humorous song, stereotype wise, but he decided to make something that is really just horrible and called it a day.
