The outlet described Yungblud as part of the "next generation storming in," alongside artists like Turnstile, Sam Fender, and HAIM.

Fans did not wait long before jumping into the comment section of the X post as they penned their opinions about the predictions regarding Yungblud. Below are some of their remarks:

"It's the final, meticulously stage-managed phase of a rebrand from agitprop punk provocateur to awards-season-approved rock statesman, a transition so calculated you can almost hear the strategists aligning the narrative. The nominations for 'Best New Artist' despite years in the spotlight perfectly capture the industry's elastic relationship with authenticity, where a carefully orchestrated 'arrival' matters more than the actual chronology of a career. This isn't an organic ascent; it's a corporate coronation, proof that even rebellion has a shelf life and a strategic path to institutional validation," penned a fan.

"Rolling Stone calling Yungblud ‘Best New Artist’ in 2025 after nearly a decade in the industry is peak GRAMMY logic 💀🤡," pointed out another.

"Imagine telling 2018 YUNGBLUD he'd be up for Best Rock Album, man would have screamed, broke a guitar, and written a song about it the same night," stated a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Okay, so Rolling Stone and Hits Daily Double think Yungblud is finally gonna get his first Grammy nods this year? Best Rock Album for 'Idols' and Best New Artist? Honestly, I’m all for it, the guy deserves the spotlight. But can we stop acting like the Grammys actually get it right every time? It’s almost as if they pick favorites more than actual talent sometimes. Still, fingers crossed for Yungblud because he’s earned some recognition at this point," commented a netizen.

"Rolling Stone and Hits Daily Double are predicting his first GRAMMY nominations this year, including: •Best Rock Album for Idols •Best New Artist •Possibly more categories. This could mark a major milestone in his career! 🏆," shared another.
