Zoomer’s blind hatred for millennials thinking they’re rebelling against hipster tastemakers, too retarded to know numetal was beloved by millennials.

>>131391279
Because there has been enough of a gap from it's initial run that a lot of the cringey-ness and bad stuff has been forgotten. Zoomies and Gen A are both exposed via the internet to the best the genre has to offer, without being subjected to sea of fucking garbage that most nu-metal is, and they like the aesthetic. Plus they didn't have to live during the years when nu-metal fucking dominated the radio to the point of exhaustion.

Nu-metal basically perfectly captures that idea of teen angst and restlessness and that is a pretty timeless vibe.

Disco has kind of a similar trajectory. A lot of modern people, particularly musicians, actually like and are influenced by the best parts of disco, but people tend to forget the garbage stuff and how over-played it was in pop culture.

you're right, but they were the goat of the nu scene at the time

people who liked nu metal as teens got old enough to stop caring what people thought of their taste in music
zoomers took it from there

>>131391847
I will defend Limp Bizkit as a whole. There are many valid criticisms you could make and I may even agree with them but the music bangs.
Went to their last tour before the bassist died. Thousands of people losing their shit having a great time. It's just fun dumb music. Not everything has to be Duke Ellington

I was there and no it wasn't. It was trash that finally killed off mainstream heavy rock.
>>
>>131392615
I was there and you're either larping or you were an idiot kid who assumed their taste in music was universal.
nu-metal was absolutely huge in its day and its core audience was angsty teens and early 20somethings i.e. millennials.

>>131392615

>>131392615
^This. It was exclusively for angry white trash kids whose stepdad punched them in the head and took their Xbox so he could play Madden.

>>131392615
Linkin Park Was literally the most popular band of the 2000s if you were a millennial. Same with the rest. It was ever present NPC music.
>>
>>131392833
no one is talking about linkin park. chester was a faggot and his music sucks.
>>
>>131392860
Limp Bizkit was also extremely popular NPC music. Same with Slipknot and Korn.
>>
>>131391279
>System of a Down playing stadiums
>Defontes selling out arenas
>Limp Bizkit is playing to massive festivals with the same energy as Woodstock 99

Honestly I think people just want that mosh pit and fun experience of a rock show. Most bands that came after nu metal are just indie/STOMP CLAMP era hipsterfags
>>
>>131392973
Stomp Clap was never "Hipster music" it was mainstream and played on the radio and at large venues from day one. It literally developed to be played at bars much like hair metal and Elton John type music.

Zoomers being gay and on the verge of being uncs.
>>
>>131392180
Correct.
>>131392615
>>131392615
Correct. Nu-metal was the rock music that overtly worshiped hip-hop instead of presenting a clear alternative to hip hop.
>>
>>131396419
Are you asserting that most millennials didn't listen to Nu-metal in 2005? Because I distinctly remember otherwise.
>>
>>131391679
I'm a millennial and always hated that shit
I was too young at the height but just hated early 2000s

>>131396661
Yeah, but it was the NPC thing to like in its time. It just sucked. Like the Lumineers.

Nu-Metal stood at the vertex of Rap Rock, Hard Alternative/Grunge, Industrial Rock/Metal, Funk Metal, Groove Metal and even Hardcore to a much lesser extent, all popular on MTV from the late '80s up until '94. By the time Korn dropped their first album, those genres gradually fell by the wayside and Nu-Metal rose to the top by 1999.

While bands seldom differentiated in lyrics covering pain, angst, destruction and misanthropy, most of them sounded worlds apart from one another. Korn, Limp Bizkit, Soulfly or Static-X reveled in bravado, impulsive and tribalistic aggression while Slipknot or Marilyn Manson hearkened to '70s Shock Rock with '90s sensibilities and aesthetics. Korn took cues from Faith No More and Helmet while Slipknot looked up to Mr. Bungle. Deftones had a more Post-Hardcore meets Hip-Hop undertone to their Nu-Metal sound. Towards the twilight of the genre's life, Linkin Park was introspective in their lyrics and focused more on Electronic, Trip-Hop and even Ambient atmospheres with their sound.

Separating those bands from their influences was their willingness to conform and return to machismo thanks to the Hip-Hop and Hardcore influences. Alternative bands were often quirky, elegant and socially progressive, thus politically correct. Nu-Metal took the opposite approach with more bands conforming to a tough-as-nails working class style. With minor exception, those guys were looking to throw down.

These bands were directly responsible for Nu-Metal's genesis OR were influential but not necessarily Nu-Metal: Pantera, Helmet, Prong, 24-7 Spyz, Living Colour, Fishbone, Deftones, Mordred, RATM, Tool, Infectious Grooves, Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, '90s Sepultura, Alice in Chains, Acid Bath, Godsmack, Body Count, White Zombie, L.A.P.D., Korn, Biohazard, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Skinlab, Slipknot, Soulfly, Powerman 5000, P.O.D. and many others.

Soulfly was a Max Cavalera side project started after leaving Sepultura who were much better.

It's a super gay genre and the Deftones fucking suck.

I just turned 38 and I never stopped listening to nu metal. I know for a fact that sentiment comes from young Gen Xers, not Millennials. People who are around 45 right now are the ones for whom nu metal was a phase they grew out of in the 2000s. For Millennials, it was something they grew into while Xers were growing out of it. The hipster image was carried by Xers, and that's far worse than the cringiest nu metal.
