smash each of your testicles with a sledgehammer, thanks.

Slipknot, System of a Down, Linkin Park, crazy town, twisted, all the other shitty bands shitting up the radio on my 2 hour commute circa 2003-2008

But what is the essence of it all?

Fuqq those and Sobe were so good. Used to always get one after Karate.

white privilege

Those first 3 bands are undisputed kino though. You have bad taste

I liked System of a Down, I still listen to some of their music from time to time

pretty sure these were all so good as a kid because they were jam packed with more sugar than most things have today, which also gets less appealing the older you get.

I want to fucking break it

The singer sounds like Adam Sandler’s “funny” voice

if 9/11 never happened, campy fun bands would've thrived and there would still be fun high-energy mindless music today.

System of a down really got more popular after 9/11
I remember the edgelord crowd listening to it while bitching that george bush is literally hitler because reasons

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES

Who did 9/11?
A) Radical Muslims
B) George Bush
C) Israel
D) KGB
E) Disgruntled American pilots

system of a down was a downer band besides the brush your hair song, not the 90s uplifting spirit.

Do numetal fans realize that to outsiders, only the finest, almost non existent, line exists betwixt them and jugalos?

I saw Static X live in 2003 in Houston, it was a fun show. I miss those days.

technically icp is nu-metal

I don't think anyone cares anymore, it's not like nu-metal crowds are particularly elitist, especially compared to other genres.

Is Lamb of God numetal?
Is limp bizkit numetal?
Is Korn numetal?
Is Mastadon numetal?

yes
yes

Have you guys tried modern nu-metal? It's pretty terrible I love it

Lamb of God is metalcore, Mastodon is basically prog metal with alt rocky/groove metal stuff thrown in randomly.

What does metalcore mean? Doesn’t fall into any real category like death, thrash, etc?

motherfuckers knocking system of a down can go fuck themselves. Toxicity is a classic through and through. Deftones are also mint

pleb

>Have you guys tried modern nu-metal?
modern nu metal is shit like 21 pilots and imagine dragons

nah, that shit is like modern nickelback or creed

Metalcore is often not actual metal, just modern hardcore with some metal elements sprinkled on top. Though some bands (like Lamb of God or Shadows Fall) are more metal than core.

Neither of those are metal at all.

Deftones was always for fat emo girls/guys. I saw a hamplanet awhile back with that skull album cover tattooed on her massive arm

It was muslims but they weren't radical, just following what their book says to do.

It's music made by kids from the midwest who live comfy middle class lives. Of course it's disingenuous.

THIS IS THE ART OF RUINNNNNN

I've been thinking more about bro rock/nu-metal, and the cultural "mood" it accompanied. And i've been thinking about early 2000's infomercials, especially the ones focused on real estate. I think the common thread is "faux emotionalism." Bro rock was emotive ersatz for a really disingenuous age. Especially after 9/11, there was a brief hysterical kill-them-all impulse, but that faded into confusion rather shortly. So we had one strain of very aggressive, metallic bro rock, but it was also polished and produced to the point where it sounded like a Disney song on "hard" mode.

This was an obvious act of fakery, but it was consonant with its era, because the prevailing emotional temper itself was faked. This was directly related to our ersatz economy in the form of the real estate bubble of the early 2000's. American culture was going through the motions, as it were, of things it believed the country was supposed to be doing. Iraq was a "going through the motions" kind of war - the country didn't REALLY want it, but when you've been hit, you're SUPPOSED to hit back, right?

The economy felt shaky and unstable, but the rising markets and other indices informed us that we were SUPPOSED to feel prosperous. Bro rock was a simulation of rock in a very similar way. It's like a paint-by-numbers kind of genre in which the songs held the hand of the listener and directed him very bluntly how to feel during those confusing times.

And it was accepted in that era, since no one seemed to know any better. Overall, the effect was to corral and manage white sentiment - particularly younger white males - into a pro-war, pro-multicultural (hence, all the rap elements) neoliberal-friendly cultural enclosure, which in many ways is still in place.

sound logic. sound.

"Wayne was born in Muskegon, Michigan, to Richard and Darlene Wells.

He grew up in Shelby, Michigan before moving to Chicago, Illinois and California. He was three years old when he received his first toy guitar. His parents decided at age seven to get him his first real guitar, an S12 beginner model. He was given lessons, which paid off a year later when he won a talent contest playing "Skip to My Lou". He later played in his first band at the age of 12 and decided he wanted to be a musician. In high school, he played in a band for the dances with classmates. He attended Shelby High School and had summer jobs which included working as an asparagus picker and in a cherry canning factory."

I don't know what this cringe shit is, but it seems Yea Forums related, so delete your thread.

>It's music made by kids from the midwest who live comfy middle class lives.
This.
The lyrics are all dark and moody about having a broken soul and a heart full of hatred, but then you look at the type of kids who listen to this music and you begin to read between the lines

>FUCK YOU MOMMMM
>FUCK YOU DADDDDD
>YOURE NEVER GONNA GROUND ME AGAINNNNNN

You need a better example than Puddle of Mud. They just suck.

you're confusing nu metal with emo shit. the nu metal that I have listened to doesnt contain any of that. And they're all from cali

Fucking. Posers. Get out. Lamb of God is groove metal. For Christ's sake, metalcore just means metal and hardcore. It is a subgenre of metal. A lot of it sucks, but some bands (Converge) are killer. Listen to Integrity you turds

no we're not.
there 's no gray area between nu-metal and emo.

Emo was shit like dashboard confessional, just whiny skater faggots crying about their first breakup and how they never ever ever ever thought it could happen

"nu-metal" is tryhard because a big part of the whole nu-metal schtick was about being aggressive when you clearly were not. Nu-metal also had to follow grunge, so they took grunge and made it aggressive. Nu-metal also had a unique "exclusive" vibe where only the cool kids were invited

Aahaha what the fuck is this shit

Anyone else have those ozzfest summer samplers?
Man those were fucking comfy. They reminded me of summer vacation as a kid (since the ozzfest tour was in the summer) and the music was generally pretty upbeat for alt metal.

Idk any relevant midwest nu metal bands. Korn? Cali. Yes, songs about step mommy rape. SOAD? Cali. No mommy or daddy songs. Deftones? Cali. No mom or dad songs that I know of, but then again, I dont like their first 2 albums. Limp Bizkit is florida, and I know they dont have mommy or daddy songs. So I have no idea of these nu metal bands crying about their parents. Linkin park maybe, but they were emo pussies larping

>And they're all from cali
Slipknot, perhaps the most iconic nu-metal bad, is from Iowa. Korn, while all members are from California, are from Bakersfield, which is much like a midwestern town. And by far the majority of people who listen to this music are from middle america and medium sized cities and towns.

>the 90s uplifting spirit
What are you talking about? There were tons of "downer" bands in the 90s, fucking grunge was a response to the 80s.

kino juice and sobe

>Korn is cali
>but-but bakersfield is basically midwest
that level of mental gymnastics. And yea, there were a lot of midwestern fans. Just like there were a lot of nu metal fans in cali and the south

>and I know they dont have mommy or daddy songs. So I have no idea of these nu metal bands crying about their parents.
If you can't even follow the conversation don't bother participating. user never said these songs were literally about mommy and daddy. That is the subtext behind the dark and angry lyrics about -other- subjects. You get one more post before you're written off as a brainlet.

yeah I can see that, just in some of their songs though

I don't know what genre you would call this, but I had this song on repeat in the summer of 2001. Just because the goth girl at Hot Topic shilled it to me and I autistically bought it.

The south is still middle America until you get into Florida. Bakersfield is actually more of a generic mid-sized western city.

Because mostly all of them were talentless fags who were just outshocking each other. It's funny that boomers get pissy over modern rap(which don't get me wrong is also shit) when it's basically the same, fags trying to outshock each other. But for memes now.

Nice projection, retard but the funny thing about it is you don't know shit about your faggy genre.

Remember when parents thought the world was ending because of Marilyn Manson
Remember when somebody started the rumor in school that he got his bottom 2 ribs surgically removed so he could suck his own dick?

i member

Eminem and Marilyn Manson were more shocking. Old people can be offended all they want, but there's nothing offensive about "nookie". I mean, other than Freddy D's sick rhymes. My parents hated all of that shit too but it's not because it was shocking
ratm is not considered numetal. Nobody ever thought coal chamber was shocking. Mudvayne maybe because they dressed like jabronis. you're cherry picking as well, with way less popular bands. Normies dont know shit about coal chamber

Agreed with you, but since Yea Forums is leaking throughout this thread anyway so I'll point out that since a critic who many people over there worship, Piero Scaruffi, loved Korn's first record they are now a post-ironically good band.

wow metal is turning nigger. amazing. funny how the musicality is disappearing too, and how it's all studio tricks. must be a coincidence.

Music equivalent of wrestling. Not a coincidence there's a lot of overlap in fanbase.

at least Creed had a couple legitamate decent songs.

They had their day. They should have broken up after Vol3 but they're under contract.

lmao no

nu-metal is still better than anything teens listen to today in any significant numbers so it's got that going for it at least.
