What genre or trend is the closest to nu metal when it comes to gaming?
Any extreme sports game made in the early 00s.
>>737414626>>737414676We had it so good in the 00s bros... What happened...
Korn linking up with Haze (emulated in RPCS3, banger game) has to be the end of this era.
>>737414626burnout takedown/revenge, car/vehicle destrction, extreme sports games
>>737414626gta san andreas. there's even a cover of the all time classic "how could i just kill a man" by rage against a machine
>>737414626I don't know but this Minecraft mod is a thing.
>>737414626id say maybe very obvious color palettes?like how piss filters, blue ones or other stuff like that. It was common in movies too bcuz of the matrix.

>>737414626Disturbed, Evanesence, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Rage Against The Machine, Alien Ant Farm, Powerman 500, Rob Zombie, Green Day, and a whole bunch others that I can't remember, genuinely loved all of them never listened to Slipknot though. I can't think of a genre or trend but game wise? Garry's Mod
quirky boomer shooters from medium/big publishers that claim to be indie
>>737414626For me it's probably Lineage II, CS 1.6 and various MP source games while chain smoking cigarettes and drinking Red Bull in internet cafes

>>737417143>>737417237This was on the NFSU soundtrackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC_wkSvTLpM
>>737420319I unironically listened to the whole NFS:U soundtrack multiple times recently while playing STS2.Underground 2 soundtrack is not as good but there are a few good tracks there.Good music is one of the most important parts racing games.
>>737415025That was Saliva>t. taste in music trapped in late 90's to early 2000's.
>>737420569Underground 2 has Killing Joke and QOTSA which makes it superior
>>737420662Rated-R, Lullabies to Paralyze, and Era Vulgaris are my jams.
What the fuck happened to music afterwards? The shit they make now is mostly impossible to listen to.
>>737414626Mid 2000s edgy horrorcore shit like The Suffering (PS2).
>>737414626What else can I add to the gym playlist of this aesthetic of music I made a while ago?
>>737415025I was listening to this a few minutes ago.
>>737421803I dunno but I think it has something to do with niggers
>>737414626whatever lorn's lure is
>>737421803The music industry is crumbling. Checkout what bands your local labels are promoting.
>>737421803Same here. I been listening to same shit for decades
>>737414626Freekstyle
>>737414626though it's somewhat synonymous with like MW/MW2 frag movies of X360 era - early on with bands considered nu-metal but before it was really a widespread term or "genre", like Korn, was still in the N64 and PS1 days. quite interesting how it was often spoken in media as some kind of stigma or fad genre but just as long lasting as rock often is. like i saw some festival line-up and it was stuff from my teenage years still going and putting music out, like Deftones - just as bands like Metallica, or even Rolling Stones etc were still touring like 50 years later.
>>737421803Im sure there were parents born in the 1890s who said the same thing about jazz and swing. Were all just getting old and repeating the same patterns.
>>737414626Shadow the Edgehog and PP Warrior Within are o top of that pantheon

>>737421863The Suffering fucking rules and blows the fuck out of any modern horror game.

INTRODUCINGTHE CHOCOLATE STARFISH
>>737421803I'm not going to defend tard shit like Limp Bizkit, Disturbed and post selling out Offspring. No millennial revisionism will ever polish these turds enough like you all did with the Star Wars Prequels and Space Jam. These fucktards literally killed Rock

>>737425376You would be my high-school friend for sure.
>>737423008>but just as long lasting as rock often islol, they are still doing this for the exact reason why Smash Mouth still performs: they need the money. One of the biggest detriments to why nu-metal lasted so little is that they never made enough hits to consistently carry album sells, but were big on live performances and got MTV plus (often unrequired) Radio replay because Fred Durs was appointed vice-president of his own label and he used the influence to shill himself and his friends, which helped to kill MTV music content and Radio in the 2000s
>>737426171Also as a genre, musically and esthetically it was too intrinsically tied to the overall zeitgeist of its era and was fated to just fade into irrelevancy sooner or later
>Chester died 9 years ago
>>737414626Crazy how these albums vary so much in how they sound, especially the stark contrast between S/T being death metal heavy in some places and Hybrid Theory being soft rap metal for the most part.Yet everyone lumps it under the "nu metal" genre, insists that it was all the same and that all of it was trash because it was popular. But then the same people will deepthroat 80's music that was also varied in genres and popular as shit.https://youtu.be/DMj8yYRYq_chttps://youtu.be/eVTXPUF4Oz4Same genre apparently, because uhh, was popular, was metal sounding, was in the late 90's/early 2000's. Because that's what defines music genres. Popularity and time periods.
>>737425686>Jews pushed nigger musicI didn't knew Kid Rock and Fred were jewish>Dude! You know what Kurt Cobain was missing? RUN-D.M.C. verses
>>737421803I blame latinos
>>737421803they're all written by dozens of people instead of an actual band and they all just copy each other, also the only goal is to be catchy, not to make a good song or express themselves truly
>>737417143NFS:MW was Nu Metal: The Game. You've just lost the game btw.It's not just that they chose some really banger tracks, everything about the game was as pissed as the music was. If anything, that's what defines nu metal. It's not a genre, it's a feeling of being utterly pissed.Korn, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Static-X, Deftones, System Of A Down, you name it. When you dissect the music these bands made, you'll find that they all had their own distinct styles and genres. Mudvayne's L.D.50 was math metal with how much polyphony you've had on those tracks. Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, rap metal. Slipknot, some tracks are basically death metal. But they all have the exact same pissed energy about them.
>>737421803american gay fake metal like op pic was pretty gaybut the mainstream shit now is even worse
>>737426445and nowadays metal all sounds the fucking same, thanks to deathcorefags pushing back towards execution and technicality to an extreme degree. you listen to one slam track, you've heard em all
>>737414626Weirdly enough I feel like Nu-Metal was at its most pooular and commercial peak in the time frame 1997-2002 but during that time it didn't really permeate into games. It was the mid to late 2000s where Nu-Metal was in everything vidya (and anime) related be it soundtracks, AMVs or just blasting it in the background while playing, even though at that point Nu-Metal wasn't played on the radio anymore and fell out of favor with the mainstream cultural zeitgeist.
>>737426706Fuck you I just lost.
>>737414707Honestly wish I could've been born a few years earlier so I could've experienced the 2000s in their peak.For me, it's Paramore, even if that's not numetal.
>>737426959>slam>deathcore>technicalitySlam is an honest low skill wigger genre unlike all the shitty Djent stuff today which is le technical yet has no soul and just sounds generic. I don't get what could be so offensive about Slam.

>>737427095I lost when I wrote that and realized what I wrote so I added that lel
another thread that proves that anything becomes "good" after enough time
>>737427087That's because gamers never turned their back on Nu-Metal unlike normalfaggots who went to Woodstock 99 to see Limp Bizkit and then 3 years later pretendey that they never liked them or any other Nu-Metal band.
>>737427267Another thread that proves things people declared as bad because it was popular to hate them were actually good and everyone who hated them, or still hate them, were the stupid blind idiot chasers in retrospect.If anything, people who keep insisting that nu metal is shit and therefore all nu metal musicians are shit are the real shitstains. Ryan Martinie is not just the "brbr deng" meme guy, dude's an insanely talented bassist but gets overshadowed by that nu metal stigma.Or the late Joey Jordison. I remember reading/watching those "top 10 metal drummers" compilations and every time the faggots making them would exclude Joey because "heh, nu metal is not real metal", even though Joey would play that shit better one-handed than them.
>nobody mentioned Jak 2 or 3Jak 3 reminds me of Linkin Park reanimated because I was listening to it around the same time I was playing this. In 2009 btw.
>>737427267How irony poisoned or devoid of different perspectives do you need to be to think people only like certain genres of music due to a passage of time?
>>737414626Oh horror by far. No question. There's a 100% overlap with nu-metal fans and Resident Evil fans. Or if not RE, then Silent Hill or Layers of Fear or something like that.
>>737427446LD 50 is a masterpiece. EOATTC was alright. Shame about the rest.
>>737427517So you're just a genuine idiot?
>>737427446Nickleback.
>>737427624They can be decent when they want to be.https://youtu.be/sf6cm14mNP4
>>737427135>Paramore>tfw you listen to fucking Twilight OSThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvnkAtWcKYg
>>737427649I know, the hate is a meme and I kindof feel bad for them. Its like Linkin Park, youre SUPPOSE to hate them because thats the joke, but people dont even listen to Nicklback and hate them just because theyre suppose to.
>>737427747I can't hate Linkin Park, only feel bad for Chester for how his "friends" spat on his grave by replacing him with a cunt that was defending his abusers that caused all the shit he had to carry his life until he couldn't take it anymore. The man deserved better.He also had a phenomenal voice technique with how hard and effortlessly he pulled off his screams and fading between them and signing in and out seamlessly. So it's not like I hate them, shit's genuinely good.https://youtu.be/OnuuYcqhzCE
>>737414626Normally extreme sports games, stuff like Tony Hawk, BMX XXX, SSX, you know the kind, I'd be inclined to say racing games but I always associate those more with Industrial Metal because every 3rd game had Dragula on the soundtrack. I'd also say shooters, bunch of them had nu metal or metalcore soundtracks and were thematically similar
>>737427723Genuinely had no idea they made a track for Twilight. No clue if I should watch the movies simply because of that, or for my love of alternative culture.
>>737422040Needs some Static-X, maybe some Prong if you're willing to go into more traditional metal, and fuck it, add some Industrial in there too with Fear Factory and White Zombie/Rob Zombie as well
>>737427135>"born in the wrong generation" niggas are now wishing they were born in my generation
>>737427747The only Nickleback song I've listened to was the ending song for Spiderman 2. I thought that was ok but I've never personally dipped into their other works so I can't say I really hate or love them.
>>737427267Motherfucker it's been at least 10 years since people in here stopped shitting on Halo for being babby's first FPS for consolefags
Cinematic shooter with light rpg elements like “Call of Juarez” and “Alpha Protocol”
>>737428368I'm not brave enough to attempt that.
>>737428818What the fuck is going on with Nick? Is he on Adderall or something?
>>737428818Turns out, you can be nostalgic for anything as long as you can cherrypick only the good parts, that's why there's people out there who unironically are nostalgic for shit like late 2000's WWE or Death Magnetic
>>737428945>people in here stopped shitting on Halo for being babby's first FPS for consolefagsit's because nobody truly believed that it was just an opinion copied from Yahtzee
>>737429210/v/ follows the opinions of anyone if it seems like its the popular majority or what they're supposed to believe. Another site does the same thing only they use upvotes and post history to differentiate between whats popular and unpopular to say. Hell this whole site got duped into thinking cartoon horses were the worst thing in the entire universe, when the fandom itself originated here. 4chan like social media and various other small and large organizations before it are just cattle who follow what other cattle say and do, but try to seem different.
>>737429058That's a clip from when the MDE crew went onto Hardin Williams' show, Sam proceeded to make an absolute fool out of himself and Nick, the guy that actually runs the business side of things that's not a retard, realized how fucked they were because unsurprisingly, they went there to shill Fishtank and Hardin bleeped out all of Sam's plugs that he only remembered after demolishing Hardin's studio.https://youtu.be/rxiGI9TG2FUAnd in case you don't know the guy, he starred in a movie by the name of "Freddy Got Fingered". He hanged out people like Tom Green and Norm MacDonald. Sam the theater kid punched waaaay above his weight class and got severely bitten back by it.
>>737422040Staind, Papa Roch, Disturbed, System of a Down, Chevelle, Sum 41
>>737429210Not really, it was a mix of boomers angry that the game wasn't Quake 3 and people pretending to like old school FPS games before that was considered trendy thanks to "boomer shooters"
>>737429371>staind Underrated and unjustly hated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XhGQisD040
>>737429356Oh that's the guy who played the cop in dumb and dumber.I only know sam and nick from the funny maymay show that got canceled. I dont follow anything else they are doing. Not even fishtank.Gonna watch this later. Thanks for the info.
>>737414907More like "how could i just kill a white men"
>>737414626>Evanescence>Nu MetalWut
>>737420319>that guy who always picked lostprophets skyline
>>737430332They get lumped in with nu metal because they arose around the same time as the nu metal wave. That, and the label forced them to put in the male singer/"rapper" into Bring Me to Life to make it more of a nu metal song to ride the nu metal life.
>>737429356I only watched 10 minutes of this and it's fucking awful. What the fuck is sam doing?

>>737430727That's what Nick was wondering about before the activation code "gorilla nest" was dropped, after which it was a full-on "oh fuck" panic attack. Was probably worrying about his own business getting a reputational hit as well.https://chamonixhouse.comAlso here's him, at the beginning of his stream, not long after that being absolutely livid at what Sam did.https://youtu.be/hi8P9Kho8ZQOf course irony poisoned MDE fanboys insisted it was "just a skit". And not, Nick, the guy with a family and a business, being the only thing keeping MDE monetarily afloat, losing his shit because he knows more about the world than Sam.
>>737425584>post selling out OffspringUhh when is that supposed to be? Smash? Earlier?
>>737427446Ryan Martinie was wasting his talent with Mudvayne, Soften the Glare is much better.
>>737431172Yeah that's fair, he's made for funky jazz and most of his crazy slaps get muddied up in Mudvayne's mixing.https://youtu.be/IrUQ9wDh2fEhttps://youtu.be/QoGuueapX3E
>>737427178There's no djent nowadays. Yes, it wasn't a genre to begin with, but now it's not even 5% a genre anymore. All the modern shit like Textures and Volumes and Architects and Insert-Any-Word-s, and of course nu-Periphery is just a shitty pop-metalcore with something very vaguely resembling djent tone.If even Mick Gordon and the insane BFG Division popularity couldn't revive the genre, nothing can.don't even get me started on the whole one-trick-zero-iq thall diarrhea
>>737430854Nah Creed is better.
>>737431027I got stuff to do and probably won't be back until the thread is dead but thanks for the info man.
I only listen to real metal like Sleep Token.

>>737431474No prob, it was a funny event and really put a dent in Sam's reputation, worth checking it out for laughs. As a bonus, him hanging out with Matan Even and pissing off not only him but himself with his schtick was pretty funny.https://youtu.be/EcvsjJhH2V8

>>737431814Never heard this mix before (well it is 7mo old) but it's no wonder, compare the mixing on MFKR when Paul, Joey & co mixed shit mostly on their own, or even the "gold album"/"Crowz" sessions, compared to S/T once Roadrunner got involved. The fidelity of the mix instantly went to shit.

>>737422040Spineshank, Ill Nino, Sevendust, Mudvayne. Godsmack
>>737414626Arena FPS like Quake, Unreal Tournament, etc.Lots of UT community maps even had numetal songs embedded in them back in the day.
>>737414626Remember that shitty Fight Club game for the PS2? If you complete the story mode you unlock Fred Durst as a playable character
>>737427267it's because by comparison it's a million times better than the faggy ass shit like Imagine Dragons that passes for "rock" nowadays.Yeah it doesn't hold a candle to the REALLY good stuff that came before, but it was still the last time music that was unapologetically masculine was played on (white) radio stations.now, only negroes are allowed to have any masculinity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5O7L7PBiLs underrated nu-metal band, their album endangered species is actually great. Was much more into death metal back then but I did appreciate the burnout soundtrack
>>737415025Everybody was shitting on Limp Bizkit but I don't understand why, that band was no different from any other nu metal band.
>>737428818we were the last generation with any culture worth a damn, nigga.
>>737435073It goes deeper than that
>>737440889He leaned too much into the wigger aesthetic from what I can remember of the dislike. Everyone still liked rolling rolling though
>>737440889I think it's just that they were so famous they became low hanging fruit for people to criticize. they're honestly great, I still listen to them and most of the bands from the era.

>>737443103I don't know if I want to destroy my nostalgia by replaying this game.Ubisoft used to make fun games.

>>737438340No, I think *you* are the obnoxious trash, pretending that nothing changed for video games around 2015.
>>737444573Fuck it, playing American Idiot right now.

It's amazing how during Iowa they were always at each other's throats yet still remained together, but after Paul's death half of the fucking band left. Question is, who will leave next: Sid, Mick, or Jim?
I like new disease by spineshank due to playing the shaun palmer's pro snowboarding demo a lot because it was cool.
>tried listening to Korn a bunch of times>they don't have a single, not one, good songAbsolute dogshit overrated band.
>>737445914For me it's Blind and the Word Up cover.
>>737440889Fred Durst was a cringe faggot.
>>737426445I always associated nu-metal with rock+rap verses.
>>737440889Fred Durst just seems like a total faggot, even Eminem was more likable and came off better during their feud
I still listen to Nu-metal. Especially in the gym. Deftones are pure SOVL.
>>737414626the correct answer is >>737414738
>>737426419Don't remind me, Anon...
>>737440889Nah, not the same.
>>737446689maybe im retarded but i never understood how deftones is nu metal outside of adrenaline and around the fur
Anyone have a band you once grew out of because you thought it was cringey, only to realize it was always good and you were only being a contrarian faggot?
>>737446689>DeftonesMy nigger.
>>737440889>>737446634Wes Borland, talented musician.John Otto, talented musician.DJ Lethal, talented musician.Sam Rivers (RIP), talented musician.Fred Durst, talentless hack.People hated LB because of Fred. The loudmouthed wigger from Jacksonville is the only bad part of the band. Everyone rocked to Wes' riffs, not to Fred's mumbling and Trent's lyrics.
>>737446689Based.
>>737446896Metal sounding band that emerged between the late 90's and early 2000's. That's all it took for them to get the label and forever carry the stigma of it.Nu metal is not a genre, it's a label that was used by retards to hate on the popular thing. Again, list all of the most popular nu metal bands, listen to their music (or remember what it is if you're a buff), and ask yourself: can this variety in styles and sounds be classified as a single genre? Is there even a common shared element between all of these bands? Static-X was pretty much absent of rap verses and leaned more into industrial metal. Deftones was much closer to shoegaze. Mudvayne's L.D.50 was math metal. And so on and so forth.It's like that meme of how men and women perceive colors. Actual music buffs will see the individual genres. Normies will see only "nu metal".
>>737427723Hayley has a beautiful voice that I often imagine is what some of my waifus sound like
>>737446924I used to be the most contrarian faggot ever yet I never grew out of the music or anything after like 14 years old. If I enjoy it than it's good, simple as.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMxInT39sQ8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6nIHFCcto8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3Q3MS3o4jc
>>737445914Falling away from me is good, but yes, most is crap.
>>737447432If you don't groove to the beginning of Got The Life, something's wrong with your ears man.
>>737414626People who like nu metal play Call of Duty and care about Pokemon. Unironically.They watch South Park and Play League of Legends (even if they are parents.)As in aesthetics, I imagine something like Man Hunt.
Modern metal went to shit btw. Not a single new band interests me in the slightest.
>>737447546But if it does resemble nu metal, it mus be pretty shitty, mediocre and lame.

>>737447672>LP Tier list:>Meteora > Reanimation > Hybrid TheoryDunno why you wrote all those other words after this as they only ever made these 3 albums.
>>737414626The fact that nu-metal and pop emo have been getting re-evaluated is the perfect proof that populatity is all that matters in music and critical acclaim is completely worthless, people are nostalgic for shit like Linkin Park, Korn, Blink 182 or MCR while no one cares anymore about most of the the acclaimed music like Interpol, Bon Iver, Animal Collective, Wilco or Arcade Fire.I'm sure there are other examples of bands in the past who didn't initially get good reviews but stood the test of time.
>>737447713Primus sucks
>>737447929Minutes to Midnight had some alright tracks.
>>737447929I will defend A Thousand Suns being a good listen from front to back and Minutes to Midnight for having songs like Given Up and No More Sorrow.
>>737414676https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93GGS8AUaP4
>>737421803nu-metal was also shit, you fucking moron
>>737447672MFKR should be at the top of that Slipknot list.
>>737447931Critics hated Zeppelin and Sabbath in the 70s.
>>737448002No it doesn't and that anon is right except his tier list is in reverse for some reason.
>>737447931>I'm sure there are other examples of bands in the past who didn't initially get good reviews but stood the test of time.I'm pretty sure most of the nu-metal bands got good reviews for their albums, just not really within the niche circles or "music connoisseurs"
>>737421803The CIA were called to pull the plug on nu metal after they saw Woodstock '99. It was promoting white culture, masculinity and rebellion too much.https://youtu.be/lE4NPu5nYS4?si=EUkQjCuamebXQUrr&t=2424
>>737448116Given Up is ight given how different it is for LP and Bleed It Out is also decent.

Still think the funniest song from Korn is Mr Rogers, just because the theming behind it is kinda silly and Jonathan's reason for the song is kinda pathetic despite the traumatic angle.Anyway, remember when Halo 2 randomly had Breaking Benjamin during the Covenant Schism?
>>737447931>The fact that nu-metal and pop emo have been getting re-evaluated is the perfect proof that populatity is all that matters in music and critical acclaim is completely worthlessHave you considered the fact that people’s paradigms shifted significantly and that with that shift, different genres and eras are being looked at through different lenses and as a result, people might have an emerging appreciation for older music?You just have to look at the shift in comedy to get what I mean. A 15 year old in 2015 will probably enjoy filthy frank a lot more than a 15 year old from 2026. Most people see older comedies that aren’t from their time as weirdOn the same side, this shift in frame is why people are enjoying content that was often unpopular at the time of its release. The paradigm of the time shifted and as a result some previous music and films became popular. That’s why Xavier renegade angel really kicked off when absurdist comedy went mainstream
>>737447931Time gives you context to evaluate something beyond its initial popularity. Some things seem better when you try them again 20 years later, others seem worse and "aged badly".
>>737447931First few Arcade Fire and Interpol albums are still great
I remember my autistic ass back in high school used to laugh at nu-metal lovers. I would dab on people because I liked prog rock like Dream Theater and thought that anything else was for plebs with zero taste and musical knowledhe.
>>737414626Oh thats easy, cover shooters.>Started out good>Became oversaturated in the market>Everyone began hating them to the point of hating the core mechanics such as recharging health, cover, and increasing difficulty by changing the health and damage values alone.Much like Numetal, it wasn't bad. At least it wasn't at first. In fact some of the first ones were classics. But overtime it never innovated and everyone began shitting on it and moved on.>Lasted for about a decade.>Hyper masculine>Never evolved or changed>Even a slight overlap where the two were popular at the same time.I am saying this to point out an equivalence in genres. If you want a trendy style that was popular at the same time as new metal >>737414676 is more or less right. Only problem is it was only one game that was popular, Tony Hawk. Maybe the skate series, and that is debatable if it ever was really popular.
>>737448447Maybe, but what are some decent songs from the last, say, 5 years?All i hear is overproduced garbage, that's not even melodic like those sobby emo songs..
>Nu-metal>GrungeYup. Still KINO.
>>737448713Im not going to argue with you on this. I don’t think mainstream music has put more than 10 good songs on the radio since 2014
>>737448713I still kinda like Bring me the Horizon and Babymetal has some cool collabs like with Slaughter to PrevailI think metal these days is killing it more so with the live shows than studio albums.
>>737448713>>737448832The best metal albums right now are from 35+ year old veteran bands
>>737448614Yeah, I knew a shitload of fags like that back when nu-metal was popular, and musical forums are still full of them, listening prog (or jazz) does that to your brain for some reason, people become incapable of comprehending any other music.Also Portnoy's son is playing nu-metal now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TB9tz1Wwpw

You guys hear the new Slipknot album?
>>737446689Nu-metal is peak gym music
>>737450956I haven't even listened to The End So Far. Doubt they're any better now that they've gotten out of Roadrunner, since it's still current day Slipknot.

>>737446634eminem tries way too hard bro spent like 1/5 of his life living in a slightly low income area and makes it his entire personality, fred durst is a bro
>>737451654also em was a faggot for dissing fred for something that wasn't his fault, he had dental surgery and missed a recording session and you call him a faggot and cut him off as a friend?
>>737451654>>737451720Don't forget Marshall said that you should quit the rap game if you're over 30 or 50 or whatever he mumbled out. And yet here he is trying to relive his glory days with Houdini while Fred released some fresh material where the band straight up mocks their own reputation.He's a poser and the only reason he was popular was because Dre got his hands on a demo tape he then gave to Jimmy Iovine. Pure luck, nothing more.
>>737451461It's an alt rock album, not metal at all

>>737451651It was okay. Vol.3 was already really lacking in that teenage angst department (for obvious reasons), but at least the vocals were still good. By good I mean bad, which is good for nu-metal. Stone Sour-style melodic shit completely ruined Slipknot for me. Same deal with Korn, the moment Davis learned how to sing it went to shit.In case anyone wants that early Slipknot hatred, here's a great copycat album. Shame the band switched to generic nu-metalcore after this album.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a-Z7CMNZTA&list=OLAK5uy_nwMLNINKkhLoN9yLFagzLSWnieJpnonZE&index=3
>>737425584>numetal and punk killed rock>not the industry and record companies all pivoting to pop and rap
Time for another one of these tours?
>>737452173>really lacking in that teenage angst department (for obvious reasons)Yeah, the whole band going into rehab before they all croaked. Well, Paul eventually did after he relapsed, and that killed the band.>but at least the vocals were still good. By good I mean bad, which is good for nu-metalNothing will replace Corey ripping his vocal chords apart, but his current technique he started developing around AHIG is good enough.That Splitmouth song is pretty dope tho, thanks for linking that.Anyways here's the obligatory "Serj has the N-word pass" mentionhttps://youtu.be/MSGyVZUCObI
>>737420592There's actually quite a few nu-numetal bands out these days. Obviously inspired by what their dads listened to

For me it's Lacuna Coil.

>>737429462Staind is anything but underrated. They're shit. They had something going, sold out to MTV and the radio rock cabal, and died once their fifteen minutes of fame from so far away, outside, and whatever that third song was faded away.
>>737454679honestly i think aaron's crying mopey bitch lyrics did more harm to people than good.
>>737440889>>737446221>>737446634Fred was enough of a fag to be scared of Staind's early era and almost didn't let them join the Family Values tour because he thought this album cover meant they were satanists.Outside of that, it's just everyone clowning on the numetaal genre in general for retarded reasons and Freddy Bizkit being one of the more prominent bands. You had fart sniffing assholes clowning on Korn for Jonathan Davis having "daddy issues" because one of their songs was about him being molested as a kid and his parents refusing to believe it happened. Just total subhuman behavior all around.>>737454439>he thinks Limp Bizkit weren't self awareDid you think Nookie and Break Stuff were serious?

>>737450528the worst part is that when you find a new song you like, it’s often only about 1:30 to 2:00 minutes long, so the stream count goes up faster because it can be played more oftenor maybe its because zoomers are so brain damaged from their tiktok brainrot that they don't have the attention span to listen to a song that is longer than that
>>737451461>>737450956Is Corey still forgetting Slipknot and Stone Sour are different bands? So much of his later output sounds like he forgets what band he's releasing a track under and nobody can be bothered to remind him.

>>737440889While Limp Bizkit was musically similar to some other nu metal bands, lyrically they were way different. Likes of Korn and Linkin Park usually had songs about life being terrible, while Limp Bizkit was about LIVIN' LIFE IN THE FAST LANE!!!
Damn, this thread is a gold mine.
Love Amy Lee, practice singing to her songs in day one day. I can hope to be a fraction as good as her. Hear rumors that she's a massive cunt in real life, pretty much everyone that knows her hates her. I don't follow the real people anymore it is a the berlin wall in my mind the real person might as be a communist an the other side.

>>737453129>tfw you opened it
>>737421803not true,the dark age for alt music was from 2012 to like 2018, but after 2018 there is so much good musici recently got into the Japan metal rabbithole... Hanabie, Babymetal, Nemophila, Asterism etc.. so much good shit and so many new albums

>>737448056Genuinely one of the few games I feel like vocal tracks work so well along with the fast paced arcade-like gameplay.

>>737446221I never liked LB but I always had trouble hating on them because Fred Durst because he always seemed like a genuinely nice dude. He never fired back or talked shit when anyone talked shit on him. I remember Dave Mustaine talked trash against him once and when someone asked him about it in an interview his response was basically "well thats unfortunate but I'm a huge Megadeth fan and I'm not gonna say anything bad about them because they're my heroes".

>>737414626Evanescence is the only metal band I enjoy.
