See You On the Other Side was 2005 bruv. Saturday Night Wrist was '06. Nu metal clearly still had some appeal.

I don't know when Deftones were last a prominent radio band, but they're still going strong to this day in terms of having a fanbase that look forward to their new albums, playing shows, etc. They never stopped being popular, even if they stopped being the kind of popular that you can be when the radio loves you.

What the **** are those? Is one of them that Linkin Park thing you were talking about? Cause I already said Linkin Park stopped sounding like Hybrid Theory after their first couple albums.

No they are not popular. If they have a fanbase it's vastly diminished and niche. And as far as I know they stopped being a prominent radio band before 2000.

I get around on the internet in terms of music sites, and my clear impression is that lots of music/metal geeks care about Deftones, even if they're not the cup of tea of sections of those groups, of course.

Not exactly hard to find a Deftones fan online.

See You On the Other Side = Korn
Saturday Night Wrist = Deftones

I was under the impression you actually read my post.

Not exactly hard to find a Jordan Peterson fan online. How many do you know in real life?

Wait you're trying to pass off Korn as a popular band in the 00s cause they sold 200k? Would you try to pass of Bon Jovi as popular if he sold 200k? That's ****ing pathetic with a band of Korn's past sales.

I don't actually know how old you are but do you remember the 00s? Do you remember the quick death of nu metal in the early-mid 00s? And Korn had died well before then. 200k proves that.

I've met Deftones fans IRL. Several, in fact. Including a couple of obsessed superfans. And then moderate fans like a friend of mine and my brother. I like the band because of influence from friends, basically.

I doubt that they're just somehow well liked in Denmark.

Korn fans aren't hard to find either.

I said 200k in the first week. They probably ended up selling more subsequently. For the record, that Korn album spent 49 consecutive weeks on the Billboard charts which yes is less than Follow the Leader (89 weeks), but it's also more than Issues (47 weeks) which came out in 1999 (a big year for nu metal). Significant Other by Limp Bizkit was also in 1999 and it sold 16 million worldwide.

Korn had, for the most part, left the mainstream yes but nu metal wasn't as dead as you say. At least not in '05.
