Far too homophobic/sexist/macho/cringe for this modern generation

It will. Much sooner than you think too.

>It will. Much sooner than you think too

Really? Is it getting popular again or is there a revival going on?

No. Numetal was era specific. You had a bunch of kids who grew up on slayer and metallica, grunge, and hip hop and (((they))) were able to bottle this up into a streamlined radio friendly format. Numetal was a crash grab by (((them))) and when the money dried up, it died. There will always be similar flash in the pan crash grabs but numetal specifically is forever dead.

Bump

No, but some idiots will imply anything that mixes rap and metal in any way automatically = nu metal revival.

This is almost the correct answer. It was a symptom of the times, unless kids these days suddenly become a bunch of metal fans with a newfound interest in Faith No More, RHCP, and rap music....I highly doubt it. Even more improbable when you consider the only reason nu-metal existed as a genre is because one single band became such a new sensation (Korn) that others followed their template, if it was just Korn alone, they'd just be considered another "alternative metal" band and nobody would call anything "nu-metal" in the first place.

Bump

Wasn't the soundcloud rap sound basically Nu-metal for a few years?

No.

Kornverge carries the nu-metal torch

Nah. It's like crunkcore. Too specific of a sound so it's way too easy to stagnate creatively within the confines, pretty much all the artists have moved on from it in some way (whether they actually make better music or not), and like no really good albums came out of it (apart from around the fur and maybe korn's s/t)

I'm gonna guess you're under 30

yeah? and?
numetal is peak /30yrboomer/core

it did with skrillex & now with post malone... keep up.

My point is, there are a lot of good albums, you just wouldn't know because it was never cool for you to listen to it. You listed the two albums it's become hipster to like in recent years....it's like saying Burzum is the only metal you like, an obvious sign of someone who doesn't really know what they're talking about, is oblivious to the true general consensus, and only gets their opinions from Yea Forums.

>implying it ever went anywhere

I mean in terms of mainstream appeal and popularity.

The top tier bands are all still some of the biggest in rock, even if there are no new bands sprouting up. Still bigger than it's replacement which was core shit, only one of them to make to the major level was A7X and that was cause they ditched metalcore.

No, too 90s skater and meth influenced for today

The more sincere over the top emotional angst doesn't really vibe with the whole disaffected post ironic depression zoomer thing

This image just bothers me
>Crazytown
>The absolute most awful trendy group of the whole genre
>DOPE
>The absolute most awful edgy group of the whole genre
>Papa Roach
>Corny but really not an awful band
>Korn
>Rock legends and the creators of a whole style

The former two don't need to be lumped in with the latter, could have at least shoved Limp and SOAD in there or some shit, Deftones, Slipknot, idk

Only if Thrash Metal does.

yeah but do you like anal?

it will. but it'll be a new and shiny kind of nu-metal with lofi hip-hop and shoegaze influences.

So...Deftones?

Rap and rock will fuse again, but nu-metal will not comback...the 7 string Ibanez half Pantera half _insert your alt rock influence here_ sound will not come back because nobody is listening to music from the late 80s early 90s anymore, which is the essence of nu-metal. It's not as simple as just rock meets rap.

There was a huge thrash revival for the last decade now.

Yeah, faith no more and ratm were really fundamental influences for nu metal. Kids these days got no idea who those bands were.

Or you know.. kids could just ape the nu-metal bands to get that sound without having to know anything about what inspired the sound originally.

I think the kids should do their own thing. Millennials spend all their time copying old shit and it's really fucking boring.

'Doing your own thing' usually involves getting started mimicking the things you like. Look to older artists if you want something more interesting or evolved.

Sure, its just that millennials straight up carbon copy old music and act like its some cool new shit. Like that greta van fleet shit, fortunately it seems gen z isn't going down that road.

Do you know how many assholes showed up in mop tops after the Beatles hit? How many shitty forgettable hair bands were wearing eyeliner and tying scarves to their mic in the 80s? It's not millennials, it's just uncreatives flooding the industry.

Greta Van Fleet is shit for real, though.

>Or you know.. kids could just ape the nu-metal bands to get that sound without having to know anything about what inspired the sound originally.
And it'll be a different sound. They won't have the eerie licks and melodies Korn got from their influences, they won't have the high energy funk Limp got from theirs, they won't have the industrial tinged edge Static X got from theres....it will be completely generic "guitar + rap" which is not nu-metal, and part of the reason it died in the first place, too many generic copy cats.

And we've seen the result of bands who take a surface level influence from nu-metal without understanding the roots, it's just shitty hardcore/metalcore with syncopated vocals and raps. It's not nu-metal though. None of the trademarks are there musically other than rapping and guitars and angst, nu-metal is actually a lot more creative than that shit...and wow is that saying a lot.

Greta Van Fleet are all Gen Z
