Now that's a load of crap if I ever saw one haha

This just further confirms my accusation that you are, in fact, an idiot.

There's nothing that particularly wrong with Nu metal. Personally I really like S.O.A.D and Korn's albums Issues and Life is Peachy. I used to listen to a lot of Nu metal growing up. But now if I listen to it, a lot of it sound comical to me.

I still like some Nu Metal, whether or not that is nostalgia from my High School Years is beyond me.


Mushroomhead - Solitaire Unraveling - YouTube

I used to listen to Slipknot and Korn, but the overbearing angst just doesn't do it for me now that I'm in my twenties and everything isn't the end of the world, but Mushroomhead still does it for me. If I'm in a Nu Metal sort of mood, that's what I reach for first.

Mushroomhead is an interesting band that I too still listen from the Nu-Metal fanboy faze i had. But as a whole (and as many people have said before) the Nu-Metal fanbase only listens to Nu-Metal so they become over-protective of it.

Godsmack are Nu--Metal?

Guys see this song?


Korn - Word Up - YouTube

Thats the only catchy song by Korn I can think of. Korn sure lacks catchiness other than this. ACtually this song is more Funk metal though. Awesome genre by the way guys. Rare to find,b ut awesome.

yall must have 2 different ideas on what NU Metal and NEW Metal are really different IMO

u could consider

The prodigy Nu metal or New metal they blurr the lines other bands like

Cradle of filth
Incubis
Dir en grey
Black light burns

also blurr the lines and back in the day was consider NU metal or has i called them "NEW" Music also Nu metal is really no different then New Rock

my point is NU metal is not limited to Down tuned guitars and slappy bass

because Sabbath down tuned there guitars and gezzer slapped his bass alot or finger pick slap whatever has well has some death metal bands of the early 90's down tuned

so after all these years i Still dont even know what NU metal really is Nu metal is just a term labels slapped on bands

and im still kinda shocked on how so many people so hated on NU metal IMO it was just another ripple in music history i liked it because it didnt over stay its welcome came in and then moved on 95-03 i dont remember this many people hating on NU hardcore when that starting rising after nu metal in 03 with bands like

Bleeding through
Posion the well
Norma Jean

bands like that .. well acctually i kinda do LOL people just hate on everything

Love it or hate it people love talking about NU metal thats why this and Limpbizkit has been on top of this page for months LOL

Those three bands you listed are metalcore bands, dude.

Nu hardcore Metalcore Rock"core" same thing

Yeah I realize I'm generalizing/stereotyping but that's the vibe I get from nu metal. Also just watch a Korn video clip, says it all really.

It's not about the presence of rapping, it's that so much of the rapping in nu metal is no better than ICP's rapping.
What on earth are you talking about? This isn't 1990. There is plenty of crossover these days.
Low IQ? Neanderthal behavior and thinking? You mean like people who make ignorant, sweeping generalizations about entire groups of people?

And tell the Vikings that long hair is feminine.

The Batlord AHAHAHHAHAHAHAH Vikings? You mean the low IQ'd, savage, dirty, thieving neanderthal women rapers :rolleyes:? Boohoo I'm so scared :rofl:.

Well most casual people associate metal with leather, satan, darkness, skeletons and that kind of stuff which is annoying and offending. When people ask me what I listen to and I say metal I mostly get negative reactions, but not negative as "OMG YOU'RE STUPID AND YOU STINK" but negative in the way that they look at me as a freak but are too polite to say anything.

More ignorant, sweeping generalizations? You know, if Vikings were black then this would be about to turn into an entirely different conversation.

Well, most "casual people" are idiots, so why should I care what they think? Besides, Satan kicks ass. Backwards baseball caps do not. :p:

Skeletons are annoying? Really? I've always found mine to be pretty supportive.

I generalized, so what? Those are the characteristics vikings are known for. Doesn't have to mean that each and every one of them was like that, but MOST were.

Most people I know don't know music further than mainstream pop and our folk music but so what? The smartest girl in our class has an IQ of 142 by European standards. Is she an idiot just because she listens to mainstream pop?

Whiskey - I find these KoRn songs pretty catchy: "Falling away from me", "Let the guilt go", "Right now", "Predictable", "Shoots and Ladders". I can list more if you want me to.

Post after post of absolute guff! One thing's for certain, your IQ is a long way below 142.

Hopefully this thread won't reach 142 posts either.

You mean to say is that you aren't having fun?


:rofl: :eek:

How dare you make me laugh so loud that I fell to the floor and broke my skeleton! MyName is right, skeletons are offensive, the way they let you break your back. We need a "smile" that includes an old man with a walker, 'cause, dude, that's the way I feel now...:love:

This.

Any response after this post is basically just meaningless fluff.

What does catchiness have to do with the price of fish?

But Dead Bodies Everywhere is pretty catchy to me.

Unkown Soldier - Aren't you ashamed to cry and whine like that? If all I said was so stupid you'd easily prove it, right? But you can't. Because most of the things I said are the absolute truth.

However I thank you for collecting my wisdom and posting it :)

Not at all. I just find it amazing how somebody can come onto a music forum where it's fairly obvious by going through the diverse posts here, that there are some really knowledgeable people on here when it comes to music. Now surely EVEN YOU can see this. Therefore by you harping on like a delinquent teenager about how great Nu metal is and how crap other metal genres are, it's hardly going to win you any plaudits on here.

Now if you'd come on here and debated about how great Nu metal is in a sensible and intelligent manner, it would have lead to an interesting debate. Debating about how great Nu metal is would have been a challenge, but it could've have been a worthy challenge.

Well, your generalizations are useless. Trying to discredit an entire cultures opinion with a blatantly ignorant generalization is idiotic. Besides, from the way you described Vikings I should think that their opinion on the manliness of long hair would trump your own. You having never sacked an English monastery and all.

I'd certainly say that she's probably a musical idiot. Which is beside the point. It's not my fault that idiots have an unfair, prejudiced view of metalheads. So, your being pissed off at me for other people associating you with the rest of us is just childish.

your stereotyping

adolescent and adolescent-acting bands- uhh since the dawn of music teenagers and young adults are prob the people buying the most music its not like 50's & 80 year olds going out and buying the hottest new music and saying all NU metal bands act adolescent is just mad stereotyping

easily commercial-uhh during the time if u werent a pop band being in a rock band wasent your gateway to succuess because thats what NU metal at the core is ROck or heavy music they never claimed to be Metal



and just because u cant play a million notes or technical riffs really fast does not make u bad

and NU metal has been explored cept u wouldnt know it since NU metal bands now a days never considerd themselfs NU metal so they go into the studio and dont say hey lets make Nu metal musc they say here lets make some new music with no boundries and anything goes to me thats NU metal to make music with no boundries

so bassically NU metal now a days 2013 has turned into "Alternative" Music and to me Alternative could mean anything

Wait but isnt Alternative a whole different world I mean Nu metal has that influences too but to be honest they could just separate them and then people could notice the difference and also just because nu metal bands dont think they are nu metal doesnt mean they really are not nu metal it just means thats what they think?

You're.

^ you canot do that

Since the dawn of music? Really? Lots of cave-teens buying cave-vinyl back then?

That's the typo you chose to highlight? That whole post was a grammatical train wreck. No offense to the poster of course.

I wonder if Norg is doing that intentionally. Looking at his posts back in 2009, they were still that way back then too, so probably not.

Heard of the Beau Brummelstones? (lol, as they say now)

I was a fan of some nu-metal bands back in the day, like Korn, Deftones and System of a Down, and I still like the latter two. Especially Deftones had something special on their first three albums. Overall, though, not much interested me. Slipknot and Limp Bizkit, for example, I never quite understood their thing. I don't mind the seeming ineptitude of certain musicians in the genre, I'm a Bob Dylan fan after all. :D

Seriously, I thought that this whole Nu Metal thing was something of the 90's. What's the controversy? A bunch of musicians inspired by theatrical Rock and simple Metal with a knowledge of how to sell themselves to a bunch of kids release a bunch of simplistic heavy Rock that sounds like a pretentious and over-serious version of EMF's Stigma but without anything that made it good including the bombastic Pop edge that made it an interesting listen or any weird stuff going on like the videos that made the teenyboppers wonder what drugs they were doing (Career-kills, I love them!).

Most of them come off as musician-businessmen who know the Kiss Concept (Hi, Slipknot!), Grunged up and ready to sell in the trailer parks, suburbs, and elsewhere where there's an interest in this stuff. They just threw out the old time fun and threw in the Grunge angst with slight Industrial bits here and there. As for the lyrics, sorry, but there's nothing in there but the same old same old "Me Me Me!!! Whine Whine Whine!!!" without touching on anything new or political most of the time. Their ability to play usually is pretty good, and some bands hire good graphics artists who capture the mood, but it's nothing to get all worked over about. You either like it or lump it. (and I pretty much lump it with possible song exceptions...I'll think of them when I get to them.)

for ex to me this band is what NU metal has evolved to but they call it alternative music now


Death Grips - The Fever (Aye Aye) - YouTube


and this song rulezz btw : )

Why not? It's the most frustrating one. This guy needs English lessons stat.

But this thread is about Nu Metal, not about him. Furthermore, you might be offending him by saying that.

im not offended i just choose not to use commas or periods simple has dat

and yes this thread is about NU metal not me


Glassjaw - Cosmopolitan Blood Loss (Video) - YouTube :hphones:

You have a very skewed idea of what constitutes Nu Metal if you think Glassjaw and Death Grips have anything to do with Nu Metal.

There's no comma or period in "you're".
