Youtube suddenly recommended me some music I listen to some 14 years ago. Unlocked some memories that didn’t need unlocking

    Well it used to be slipknot/KoRn/Limp Bizkit etc etc, but now nu metal is cool with all the zoomers, so I’m no longer embarrassed of being a nu metal kid. It’s been pretty cool to reconnect with that stuff without fear! Tbh there are a lot of KoRn tracks that slap, and you can hear their influence in a lot of the underground metal music I listen to. The band chat pile that’s pretty popular right now cites KoRn as an influence. Limp Bizkit is still preeeeeetty fuckin bad though. I fuck with some tracks off of 3 Dollar Bill Y’all$, but so much of it is just corny as hell. System of a Down was always considered dope so they don’t count

      NuMetal may be cool among my generation, but Limp Bizkit has never been cool. They’re impressive in how uncool they manage to make everything look

        Hahaha damn you roasted them so hard. True I guess I don’t see too many people repping them, I just know they played Madison Square Garden with Scowl, though, so I assumed it’s what you whippersnappers are into

      KoRn was my favorite band as a teen!

      still enjoy their music even though I don’t seek out nu-metal as much as I used to

      ARE YOU READY??!!

        Hahaha Ive had Blind stuck in my head for like 3 days. I stopped listening to them when I was still in highschool but have dabbled in the past year or two and it’s such a good nostalgia hit

      I just saw Korn live for the first time last year and it was a great show. They played a lot of their old stuff and really made me appreciate some of the early albums again. Don’t care for their new music much, but then again and don’t like most new music. I prefer stuff I already know. Must be an age thing.

      Loved this stuff back in the day as well. I still do. I got to see Slipknot live at a festival a few years back and they put on one of the more impressive shows I’ve seen.

        Nice, good to know they’ve still got it. I got to see them once waaaay back, like 2004 or something for the Subliminal Verses tour I believe.

      Was at a show the other night where Drop Out Kings was opening, and I did agree with my friend that there was some definite Limp Bizkit energy involved there (on top of some Beastie Boys and Rage for sure). They were a ton of fun, though.

      Outside of Limp Bizkit, it isn’t all that bad.

      Even with Limp Bizkit, you just have to accept that they are angry brats.
