There's way, way worse stuff to listen to than Nu Metal lol. Don't feel bad bro. At least you're not a Cardi B fan (not that we should spit bile at them either, live and let live).
You're not supposed to. Listen to what you like, they will listen to what they like and the world keeps turning. They're not trying to tell you not to be a fan if you are one.
I never cared what's cool or not. I'm 30 now and I still listen to Deftones, Limp Bizkit, Linking Park, Disturbed, Korn and SOAD. They are baked into my DNA by now 😅
@@tytomasoski238 Thanks off the suggestion, I'm watching it now. And this guy does not understand what selling-out means, at all. It's got nothing to do with how popular they become. I mean look at Tool, one of the most respected bands in the world, now imagine Tool singing a poppy song about "America" Infront of a giant green flag... That's what selling out is.
Dig by mudvayne is a perfect example of what these group of people needed back then, song starts like something is going to explode in a very angry mind and then growls "yeeaaaahh" while downtuned heavy riffs are playing with pure anger.
I still fucks with all those nu metal albums that came out in the 90/2000s. Fuckin slipknot 99 album, that first rage against the machine album, limp bizkit 3$ bill yall. Korn. Deftones around the fur. Fuck that shits still tight lol
Shit rage dropped their debut album before wu tang or biggie or nas did so really good rap rock was available before hip hop had hit its stride in the 90s
Korn developed there own sound and all these other bands followed . Hence their album" follow the leader " they were the leaders and always will be. Jonathan Davis let all of his anger and aggression out In his songs and it was set apart . He is an amazing vocalist and Korn is amazing .
@@younggrasshopper3531 if only you seen them in 1994 . Check out their videos on RUclips . Their video fa$$ot is unbelievable. It was in 94 and it's truly amazing . It's real fuzzy and statically looking due to the old camera but only adds to the intensity . Jonathan Davis and his energy is felt through the tiny screen of the phone , it's truly amazing . The entire bands energy is contagious , the way they jump around and the way they hold their guitars truly sets them apart as the leaders of their type of music . Their sound will forever be distinct and forever favored in my opinion . Truly something special , they sound incredible . I'm going to have to go watch the video right now .
I’m a 38 Hispanic male, I loved the top Nu-Metal bands listed when I first heard them, and I still listen to them today. I have seen Korn in concert more than any other band, and I bought tickets to see Slipknot for the 2nd time this year. I may be a minority, plus, I had never heard of any of the bands you listed at the end. But, overall, great and accurate analysis.
I'm 40 and White, and am utterly confused why everybody's posting their race in a metal discussion. Almost like they're conditioned to expect automatic accolades for being the right shade...
"...an entire generation of kids all over the world were getting into heavy music via nu metal..." This. If it wasn't for nu metal, I have no idea what kind of music I'd be listening to because I discovered these bands at the right time it literally shaped my musical taste for the last 20 years.
Not only #1 on the US charts, they took #1 in multiple places all over the damn world. Headlining their own festival, headlined the iowa state fair, etc. etc. etc. Korn is back doing their thing just as successfully. Yea, lots of b/s here.
The Truth is only Perspective The genre as a whole is all but dead. Slipknot managed to stick around the way Deftones have. They aren’t just rehashing the stuff that made them big in the mid to late 90s. Get back to me when you can tell me nu metal isn’t almost completely dead while also explaining to me why bands like Taproot, Trapt, Sevendust, ill niño, Chevelle, Drowning Pool, and hed pe aren’t still cranking out top 10 hits.
@@zachiswayposi1 Bruh.....I don't even know what to say to you. Pull your head out of your ass maybe? Sevendust is still killing it. Taproot/Trapt were part of the one hit wonders. Chevelle just headlined Rockville, new album, and tour cycle, hed pe/ill nino wasn't bands I listened to so I don't keep track of them. Dope is still going strong, DevilDriver is still kicking ass and they do Coal Chamber songs, they've reunited as Coal Chamber a few times but that's band issues not the music. Prophets of Rage have replaced Rage Against The Machine, Linkin Park sadly hasn't been able to continue due to Chester's suicide. Staind is still doing shows, Aaron Lewis has gone mostly country though, Disturbed is touring, Static-X is touring, Mushroomhead has always been around putting out good stuff. Drowning Pool died with the original vocalist. Fear Factory, Machinehead, Otep are all still going strong. The genre was never about cranking out top 10 hits, that's like asking Punk to crank out top 10 hits, maybe when they're popular in the mainstream but they aren't mainstream. I'd like to say in the mainstream Perspective Nu Metal is dead but it isn't entirely, in every other aspect? Still alive and well.
I think a huge contribution to the fall was them changing. I love and still loved old korn/slipknot. The new music they put out just isn't the same. It went more mainstream. When you go to a show today they still mostly play old stuff.
@@abigailloar956 I agree....age and purging the demons....I mean, most people can't keep up the angry, emotional, snarky music when you find happiness. True music comes from within and if its not there its hard to fake.
So true. There is a time when, similar to TV shows, bands just jump the shark, and for some reason, for almost all relevant nu metal bands, that time was around 2003/04. Korn didn't make a really good album after Take A look in the Mirror, Slipknot became more mainstream with Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), and Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and Linkin Park also adopted a more polished, mainstream sound. It was just the time when nu metal stopped feeling fresh and new and became mainstream.
Same man, nu metal was just another progression in the journey metal heads take. What made me drift away from nu metal was meeting a group of guys who took me to a Cannibal Corpse show. Seeing that sledgehammer rhythm and George’s fierce vocals with Webster’s wizardry on bass made me do a 180.
as a 13 year old depressed and anxious kid, Slipknot's first album (the self-titled one) was basically my lifesaver. I never felt so understood by a band and could so identify with all the rage, anger and frustration in their music. Still to this day (20 years later) I think the first Slipknot album is absolutely brilliant and was my gateway into hardcore, punk and metal
Dude, same. I was that depressed and angry kid from Ohio who loved slipknot, korn and mudvayne. At 29 years, I definitely still have that kid in me. Though not as angry lol.
But the thing is, Slipknot stopped being NU since IOWA.......I don't understand why they are put with NU-Metal! Slipknot and Limb biscuit sound NOTHING alike.....
"What kind of music do you listen to?" "I'm pretty into Nu Adjacent Rock right now but I'm also down with Guys In Jumpsuit and/or Mask Bands too. Just depends on my mood"
@finnmckenty do you have any Sevendust interviews or coverage of their long career where they've never been huge, but maintained a diehard 700-1k level of fanbase that never misses a show when they come around.
My dad is a pilot and he met them once on a plane. Very polite, very chill. Didn't demand rockstar treatment or bother anyone. That's not true of a lot of bands. I respect that they don't have giant egos and seem to just see themselves as normal people.
i personally don't like nu metal but it's just not for me. more people need to realize that you can dislike something without attacking the people over it.
I hated nu metal back then when it was oversaturated, but I completely understand why it got popular in the first place. Sometimes I actually wish I enjoyed it when I see how crazy Korn audiences can be.
KoRn is still going strong, they were much more serious and mature back when all the other bands were going off the rails crazy with lyrics and content.
I will always love nu metal, and I wish it was still as popular as it used to be. I grew up with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, SOAD, RATM, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Evanescence, Mudvayne, Sevendust, Static X. I wish there was a new generation of nu metal bands, but I still listen to these bands on a regular basis, especially when I go running, and I still buy new Korn and slipknot and Disturbed albums when they come out. First concerts I went to were summer sanitarium tour in 2003 with Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Metallica and Mudvayne, and Ozzfest 2003 with Korn and Disturbed and I just saw Korn, Evanescence, and RATM this summer and they were still incredible! I listen to many different genres of music, but these bands will always be my favorite to see live and nu metal will always be my favorite subgenre of rock!
I think nu metal bands like Grade 8, Motograter, Twisted Method, and others could’ve became popular if their debut albums came out before 2003. FFDP wouldn’t probably exist because Ivan would still be in Motograter!
I saw Korn and System of a Down on Saturday, it was an awesome show. Korn,System of a Down,Deftones,Slipknot and yes even Limp Bizkit are hands down the greatest Nu Metal bands.
Limp bizkets first album was more (actually) heavy metal (not like ozzy heavy metal, more like slipknot) nu-metal. The second album and later transitioned to nu-metal with heavy rap influences.
I'm not even a Korn fan, but this makes me happy. Just the fact that something like music can break social boundaries like that is a cool thing in my opinion.
Just saw Korn/Chevelle on April 1st. They all looked alive to me. The show was awesome and what's even cooler, my granddaughter is the one who suggested we go. She wanted tickets for her 19th birthday. I don't think she even had a clue how much I like Korn. Korn and Chevelle both sounded incredible. Now if I can just get my wife to go see Anthrax and Black Label Society in August here in Dallas, she has already baulked so it may take more persuasion.
@@alexmohr1072 Iowa is the farthest albums from nu metal atleast slipknot's self titled album has a a handful of songs that has rapping which makes it nu metal but every other album from slipknot isn't Mu metal at all
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KILLED NU METAL WAS THE FAN BASE JUDGING ALL THE NEWBIES. YOU COULDNT BUY A SLIPKNOT SHIRT WITHOUT THEM ASKING YOU THEIR PURITY TESTS
tbf it happens to metal genre in general. id say its how popular it got and like the video said, the gimmick and fusion of genres just seem shallow. but i still love the genre for what its worth since its part of my childhood
Not a chance.. They were soo cool on other peoples albums songs But they were rightfully mainstream HATED with the WHite Pony sappysap. Reminds of a less mainstream Staind... Yeah i can say i hate em.
Comparing 'Numb' by Linkin Park to 'Ball Tongue by Korn is like comparing 'Alone I break by Korn to 'With you' by Linkin Park. Linkin park were nu metal
@@alainkaizer7769 exactly after hearing that Wes Borland was not in the follow up album from hot dog flavored water my interested fizzled out of the band.I mean I bought there follow up album and I listen to it but the songs weren’t any good.
Snot is by far the best band to ever come of this metal era. We did not get nearly enough of them. If I was going to listen to anything from this era, it would be Snot, hands down. That album still holds up.
Deftones were definitely Nu metal in the 90s, at least in Around the Fur era for sure. But they moved on and I think they had the most success of any nu metal band in not being tied down to that era
Nu-Metal is the middle of the venn diagram of middle 90s music. The 90s was pretty crazy especially near the end. Basically popular music culture decided to either start merging genres or reviving old genres. I mean we had a freaking Swing revival in the middle of it.
@@Slipknotiowa-gz8lp Korn and Slipknot has different styles but they are still Nu-Metal. That's like saying Slayer stopped being Thrash Metal since Divine Intervention and that Anthrax and Slayer sound different. They are still Thrash Metal even if they have different styles and sounds.
@@fedora997 I understand what you are saying but......Corey even said that they are not nu anymore! Just listen to there (1999) album and there new one! Just get over it! They stopped doing that "NU" sound a long time ago! That example you gave me about Slayer is completely different than what I'm saying! Just hear the song difference between: Spit It Out, and Solway Firth!
@@Slipknotiowa-gz8lp Holy shit my dude calm down, yea they may not be under the nu metal threshold anymore but that's where they were born and comparing Solway Firth and Spit it Out is like comparing a Peach and a fucking Blackberry. The point we are all here trying to make is saying that the genre of METAL (not just Nu metal) is alive and well and this year proves it rap is the genre that is dying
Korn was the first band I got into when I started listening to "real" music, and I still love them. They are undoubtedly one of the most influential bands and their sound is instantly recognizable
@@skulz1974 wow you're so edgy hahahaha I bet you're 45 with long hair, blue jeans with holes in them, holding on to the good ol' days in hair metal lol
Yeah, there's a reason why Korn were so successful and started the whole nu metal craze, it was the simply perfect combination of Jonathan's unique personality and the insane show he puts on and the great, unique riffs of his equally talented bandmates. Not all of their stuff is good or has aged well, and today I don't really care about them anymore, but I can see why people loved it in the 90s and early 00s.
I love korn. I grew up with them, they are still one of my favorite bands. But I gotta say there was another band that I really enjoyed that didn't get as much attention. I can see why but to me they still hold a special place in my life, mudvayne. I see myself going back to their old albums over and over again especially L.D50.
I always see Linkin Park as their own thing with a lot of nu metal influences, they really created a unique sound with Hybrid Theory and Meteora and it’s still fucking awesome
Yeah. I can only really revisit stuff from Linkin Park and Deftones as far as nu-metal is concerned... Slipknot if I'm in a special mood. They had their place for me but I moved on to different stuff
@@hosseinderakhshan5607 WRONG!! .........nah jokes I agree very influencial and its interesting hearing about Mike shinoda the wrapper when they got signed the label wanted to cut him cause he didnt fit the genre the label wanted but the band backed him up and that was one of the most defining parts of the band was all their chemistry between members and their sounds...
Nu-Metal was what I started listening to but I progressed on into heavier and heavier metal. That been said I do still listen to some old skool Nu-Metal now and then
I have to agree on this as well... Nu-metal is fun listening to but you get bored of it pretty quick and it provides a gateway to much better subgenres of metal that are more technical.
This is a great video, and I absolutely love how this guy's sets Korn aside. They're definitely one of those special bands that you find in your life and it hits you right where you are. Took me until 26, but I'm so glad I found them.
@@ToveriJuri if you feel that way why watch a video on the genre then? Do you not have anything better to do with your time then watching videos just to shit on them?
Slipknot we're my gateway to heavy metal. For that reason i'll never stop listening to them. No band changed my musical taste as much as slipknot did. Closest thing would be Rage Against The Machine. Also Rage are a band i'd love to see an episode on!
Slipknot just came first really, could have easily been Korn or Rage that did that for me. Wasn;t until a couple of years after my cousin showed me SOAD and Rage.
One factor that probably contributed to Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish album sales was that it had the Mission Impossible 2 song (Take a look around). That was a huge deal. Also, Linkin Park's first album (Hybrid Theory) was more or less a Nu Metal album. Their second one was a cross between Nu Metal, Hard Rock and other stuff.
I don’t care what the critics say. Let people listen to what they want. There is *nothing* wrong with listening to Nu Metal. Rather it’d be Limp Bizkit, Korn, Linkin Park, Slipknot, or really any Nu Metal band. I would like to see Nu Metal make a comeba- Oh yeah, Korn and Slipknot made great comebacks this year! Anyway. Don’t let the death of Nu Metal ruin your love of the genre, or stopping you from getting into it. If anyone says it’s wrong to listen to Nu Metal, that’s their problem. Thank you Punk Rock MBA for making this video and giving a respect to the fans
The only thing dead about nu metal is the label nor slipknot, mudvayne or mushroomhead in my opinion are nu metal bands they never were korn on the other hand are still going strong to this day so the only thing dead here is the term nu metal
@@bezoticallyyours83 they were Nu Metal, then Shoegaze Metal, then Alternative Metal. Bands sometimes go through different periods. Especially bands like Deftones. Pay attention
i was born in 95, korn and slipknot were definitely my gateway bands to metal, i grew up watching mtv and their videos popped up sometimes. korn was the first band i loved with weirder sounds and slipknot the first with actually heavy songs, and masks haha being the 'first of a kind' to kids in the 2000s, the last time 10 year old kids were deciding their music taste based mostly on mtv and not the internet, it's undeniable they're a part of us that are now in our 20s, 30s. this video was nostalgic af
Nu-Metal has always been my favorite Genre/Time Period in Music. I still listen to sooo much of that music today and is a huge influence on my Music and My Vocals
Ever since I discovered Nu-Metal, I couldn't get enough. I don't care if people hated it, I will continue to listen to it until one day it kills me or it gets me killed.
@Idea Headed Growling and screaming is common in nu metal so I don't know what you're talking about. The only people I've clashed with about nu metal preferred traditional metal genres and they deny that nu metal is actually metal, probably because they can't pin it down to the list of like 5 genres that they know.
@@KindNine Even calling any of these bands Nu Metal is shitty, in my opinion, because it's this stupid, arbitrary label we stuck on all these bands who were just trying to figure out a style and sound. In the age of White Pony you also had like Nickelback and such. Korn was still producing music but it was bad by then. I don't even want to talk about Limp Bizkit... I'm trying to repress the memory of that, or suppress, or something. But they were very popular. It was just a really experimental age. Which of the bands from that time are still producing relevant music? Still touring at relevant shows (where they headline, not some stupid, unnecessary revival festival). Deftones stand alone.
@MusicMoviesGames well I very much doubt the last part, but I agree with most of what you said. I was mainly just saying that the name "Nu Metal" is and was ridiculous.
Same here surprisingly. Crazy to think that I play heavier shit than this but through linkin park, I discovered disturbed, Slipknot, and eventually bands like JFAC, etc.
@@ECL28E In the End was on Kidz Bop? WTF? Are you serious? That's just wrong, little kids shouldn't be getting full frontal nihilism at such a young age.
Nu Metal was cool. Still is. It wasn’t corny at all, around here if you didn’t listen to Bizkit, Korn, Deftones, Slipknot etc, shred a skateboard, spray paint, and get high, you werernt cool at all. You’re the best, Fin. I can watch these all day long! 🤘🏻
Deftones absolutely hated being thrown in that category, so they released White Pony. And that's kind of the entire idea behind the single - Change (in the house of flies).
I adore the Deftones. I listen to them every few months, one of the only bands from that era whose new music I like. I feel like they've changed with me as I've grown up.
Some of the bands he listed I never considered numetal. Fuck, half of my favorite bands are numetal apparently haha. I still cruise down the road listening to Dope, Static-X, Slipknot etc at full volume. The rest is a weird mix with half being folk metal.
Very intersting video. I'm from France, and I was 14 yeas old in 1996. We also had this Nu-Metal tsunami in Europe, and this was the best time of my life! Between 1996 & 2000 with bands like Korn, Coal Chamber, Deftones, SOAD, My Ruin, Kittie... we definitely had our own bands! No need to deal with the old metal bands of our older brothers and sisters. New sound, new clothes, that was GREAT and that was our generation!!! Plus also no internet like today at this time, no free downloads, no youtube! When we bought a tape or a cd, we absolutely had to love it, even if it was bad, hahaha! Today, as I'm writing this comment, I'm 40 years old, and I still listen to all these bands, I still wear Deftones shirt, and I still have a Coal Chamber bag. Thank you for this video.
Even though I'm in my 20s I still miss the 90s-00s music, basically most music sounded way better than today's trash it wasn't so commercialised made to sell rather than passion. When I was a tenn in late 00s-early 10s there was so many alternative people that didn't dress the same, nowadays everyone seems to look the same and almost act the same. I miss the times where people were angry and pissed off at the government's around the world. My favourite band will always be system of a down, I wish they could have worked out their beef with each other.
Same here.... actually, I was a hip hop kid. It was some friends I used to hang out with who got me into Metal in general because of bands like Korn, LB, ILL Niño, Deftones, and Soil. Then I found bands like Gojira, Dagoba, and Meshuggah. Seeing these bands live was the ultimate experience as well. They inspired me to pick up a guitar and learn. I'm thankful for my musical journey.
@@benclimo461 I think you're getting a distorted view through the eyes of nostalgia.... These bands were HEAVILY commercialized to sell. It was no different than the hair metal or post-grunge stuff, nor the boy bands, pop punk or emo acts or any other super popular trend. Claiming all the nu metal bands were solely about originality and genuine passion is a HUGE stretch to say the least. There were very few actually original acts. Most of them were just clones from one type of band or another, much like Finn showed in the video. Seriously, what makes Breaking Benjamin so unique compared to Three Days Grace, or POD to Saliva? The majority of those bands all played from the same formula one way or another. For every Korn, there were a few dozens Korn derivatives. They all copied the same style of music, same lyrics, same clothes/hair/makeup/costume, same stage antics, etc. I agree it's a lot better than the trash in heavy rotation nowadays, but don't pretend it wasn't all about the money and getting exposure back then just like it is now.
I was in Lyon for fete de la music in 2002 and I was blown away by how many quality new metal bands were playing face melting music on the streets. I was not expecting that.
This was the genre that brought heavy music to life to me. I was that angry kid from the suburbs who was only too excited to finally have a genre to identify with.
Same I started with a7x and disturbed and pretty much worked backwards until I hit the 60’s and 50’s I love everything from slayer to Sinatra. Except country, I was raised on that shit and I hate it.
I love the way linkin park incorporated nu metal into their music with hip hop. They become extremely popular in the 2000s and kept going. They were my ticket into the genre, I have high respect for what direction they took and didn’t let criticism put them down!
Pretty underrated band. Hybrid theory and Meteora are awesome Nu Metal and Rock/Rap Albums. Minutes to Midnight and ATS are a creative concept of history about the “Begin to the End of the World” with acoustic and electronic influences. Living Things it’s a powerful message about human living. The Hunting Party it’s a good return of the “old Linkin Park”. One More Light is a nice concept but a lazy production. For me: 1. Meteora (9.5) 2. Minutes to Midnight (9.0) 3. Hybrid Theory (8.5) 4. Living Things (8.0) 5. A Thousand Suns (7.5) 6. The Hunting Party (6.5) 7. One More Light (5.0) Remixes Collision Course (8.5) Reanimartion (7.0) Recharged (5.0)
35 years old and Korn - Freak on a Leash was my gateway into rock music. Loved the music video at first then slowly grew into the music. Slipknot was a sound I grew to love after Vol 3 but Iowa is my favorite of theirs. Going to my first Slipknot concert in a few week. In the pit of course.
Like Linus is proof that Deftones had a lot of influences from different styles. Adrenaline has this hardcore feel with it's rawness and plentiful screaming (which isn't a surprise, because Chino loved hardcore). Amazing fucking band that may have never been as big as Korn, Limp Bizkit, or Slipknot. The White Pony era was the closest they got as far as being a household name. But they never actually sucked and critics continue to praise each release.
I've been waiting for a long time for this video! Thank you Finn. Absolutely loved this genre when I was young, don't care what the 'elitist' say haha.
Why is everybody hating nu-metal? I'm dead serious nu-metal is one of my favourite genres right now. It is really fun to listen and I don't get tired listening to RATM. (Testify 3 times a day, because why not)
Well, Rage isn't really Nu Metal tho. They influenced the style but they are more of a Rap Metal like Body Count and what Anthrax were doing with Public Enemy, with a lot of influence of more Funky bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers.
@@nocapmajor but I kinda agree with you about all the hate on Nu Metal, there are some extremely shit bands that emerged from that style, but there arr some good bands too, just like every genre of music, although unfortunately Nu Metal had more of those awful bands than usual lol.
@TheGreaterGood80 yeah man, couldn't agree more. It oversaturated as quickly as it got mainstream, that's why almost none of those bands stayed relevant after the downfall of the genre.
I was born around the fall of the genre 12 years later I found out who Metallica was and it sent me down a rabbit hole where I eventually found nu metal and it’s still one of my favorite genres.
Nu metal is my favorite genre in metal music. I promise I’m not kidding. Btw my favorite nu metal bands are mudvayne, HED pe, flaw, slipknot, korn, and mushroomhead
Edward Steward I love mushroomhead I think they have a unique sound. I actually did my research and they had masks before slipknot. They just started gaining popularity after slipknot became popular. They’re not trying to be like slipknot
Korns first 4 albums will forever be in my heart. I grew out of it as I got older but I will always listen to the first 2 Korn albums because those help me get through the hardest years of my life 97-99
@@MKAnr1 Maybe they got more popular but the quality of their music dropped. They lost their rage, their energy and their desire to make people move; instead they just started writing slow jams with some pinch harmonics so they could tell people they never stopped being heavy

ITS GONNA BE A WHILE BEFORE I REALLY FEEL ALRIGHT!!!
Bought my tickets already
I'M TIRED OF BEING RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING I'VE SAID
YOUR'S DOES NOT MEAN MINE
KILL DOES NOT MEAN DIE
All Out Life!🤘☠️
Mom raised me on slayer, dad raised me on wu-tang. For a teenage me in the early 2000's nu-metal was a god send.
I still fucks with all those nu metal albums that came out in the 90/2000s. Fuckin slipknot 99 album, that first rage against the machine album, limp bizkit 3$ bill yall. Korn. Deftones around the fur. Fuck that shits still tight lol
Bro I still listen to slayer, especially because they have a new album out and it's still brutal as hell and sends a message
Shit rage dropped their debut album before wu tang or biggie or nas did so really good rap rock was available before hip hop had hit its stride in the 90s
Johnathan Jaco those are all in my all time favorites nu metal was awesome
Holy shit you have cool parents.
Korn developed there own sound and all these other bands followed . Hence their album" follow the leader " they were the leaders and always will be. Jonathan Davis let all of his anger and aggression out In his songs and it was set apart . He is an amazing vocalist and Korn is amazing .
🎯 and i don’t remember any band of significance using 7string guitars. Korn started that
I agree I wasn’t big into Korean but I saw them @ Aftershock 2016 and they were so cool! 2nd best set of the whole fest imho which surprised me
Well, Steve Vai was quite significant himself, don't you think? :)
@@MMm-kr2zi I don't even know who that is. Never heard his name before so not significant to me bud.
@@younggrasshopper3531 if only you seen them in 1994 . Check out their videos on RUclips . Their video fa$$ot is unbelievable. It was in 94 and it's truly amazing . It's real fuzzy and statically looking due to the old camera but only adds to the intensity . Jonathan Davis and his energy is felt through the tiny screen of the phone , it's truly amazing . The entire bands energy is contagious , the way they jump around and the way they hold their guitars truly sets them apart as the leaders of their type of music . Their sound will forever be distinct and forever favored in my opinion . Truly something special , they sound incredible . I'm going to have to go watch the video right now .
And now Korn and Slipknot have just released two of the biggest records of the year.
AND TOOL.
And they all suck!
Notneb Airevilo nah Slipknots new album is fire
Huh? Are you talking to me?
Notneb?
Currently cracking myself up because he said, "When Korn popped.."
I giggled too
Spencerthepoet Popkorn. I used to like Korn back when I was a freshman in high school before I knew what thrash was a year later.
Still a Child of the KoRn 💀
fajno
😂
YES !
Yup
Forever.
I’m a 38 Hispanic male, I loved the top Nu-Metal bands listed when I first heard them, and I still listen to them today. I have seen Korn in concert more than any other band, and I bought tickets to see Slipknot for the 2nd time this year. I may be a minority, plus, I had never heard of any of the bands you listed at the end. But, overall, great and accurate analysis.
I'm 40 and White, and am utterly confused why everybody's posting their race in a metal discussion.
Almost like they're conditioned to expect automatic accolades for being the right shade...
"...an entire generation of kids all over the world were getting into heavy music via nu metal..." This. If it wasn't for nu metal, I have no idea what kind of music I'd be listening to because I discovered these bands at the right time it literally shaped my musical taste for the last 20 years.
Ow true man, seems we are really in the same line. I am with extreme underground metal now. Been 20 years.
Yeah people love to dunk on Nu-Metal but I feel like most metal fans under the age of thirty got into metal either through Korn or Slipknot.
God, I feel old. I became a "heavy" music listener in 1982...
same here
Yeah - that is unfortunate. A real sliding doors moment. Things could have been so different
Gotta love how Slipknot took the No.1 spot on the billboards with their new album this past Monday
Right, but they're dying out somehow... this guy's an idiot
Yeah agree. Anyone I've heard attend a live show in this tour cycle say Slipknot still killing it
Not only #1 on the US charts, they took #1 in multiple places all over the damn world. Headlining their own festival, headlined the iowa state fair, etc. etc. etc. Korn is back doing their thing just as successfully. Yea, lots of b/s here.
The Truth is only Perspective The genre as a whole is all but dead. Slipknot managed to stick around the way Deftones have. They aren’t just rehashing the stuff that made them big in the mid to late 90s.
Get back to me when you can tell me nu metal isn’t almost completely dead while also explaining to me why bands like Taproot, Trapt, Sevendust, ill niño, Chevelle, Drowning Pool, and hed pe aren’t still cranking out top 10 hits.
@@zachiswayposi1 Bruh.....I don't even know what to say to you. Pull your head out of your ass maybe? Sevendust is still killing it. Taproot/Trapt were part of the one hit wonders. Chevelle just headlined Rockville, new album, and tour cycle, hed pe/ill nino wasn't bands I listened to so I don't keep track of them. Dope is still going strong, DevilDriver is still kicking ass and they do Coal Chamber songs, they've reunited as Coal Chamber a few times but that's band issues not the music. Prophets of Rage have replaced Rage Against The Machine, Linkin Park sadly hasn't been able to continue due to Chester's suicide. Staind is still doing shows, Aaron Lewis has gone mostly country though, Disturbed is touring, Static-X is touring, Mushroomhead has always been around putting out good stuff. Drowning Pool died with the original vocalist. Fear Factory, Machinehead, Otep are all still going strong. The genre was never about cranking out top 10 hits, that's like asking Punk to crank out top 10 hits, maybe when they're popular in the mainstream but they aren't mainstream. I'd like to say in the mainstream Perspective Nu Metal is dead but it isn't entirely, in every other aspect? Still alive and well.
I still love nu metal. Never stopped enjoying it.
Same I’m spinning korns new record the nothing and and slipnot
Me neither!
Same!!
Me too!
Same here! :)
I think a huge contribution to the fall was them changing. I love and still loved old korn/slipknot. The new music they put out just isn't the same. It went more mainstream. When you go to a show today they still mostly play old stuff.
I agree, some found God and/or got sober and good for them but it definitely changed their sound and lyrics. Mellowed them out quite a bit.
@@abigailloar956 I agree....age and purging the demons....I mean, most people can't keep up the angry, emotional, snarky music when you find happiness. True music comes from within and if its not there its hard to fake.
So true. There is a time when, similar to TV shows, bands just jump the shark, and for some reason, for almost all relevant nu metal bands, that time was around 2003/04. Korn didn't make a really good album after Take A look in the Mirror, Slipknot became more mainstream with Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), and Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and Linkin Park also adopted a more polished, mainstream sound. It was just the time when nu metal stopped feeling fresh and new and became mainstream.
As someone who grew up listening to Led Zeppelin with my dad, then eventually to Metallica, it was just a natural progression towards Korn.
I grew up with Metallica and Black Sabbath, so i had my nu metal moment too
Same man, nu metal was just another progression in the journey metal heads take. What made me drift away from nu metal was meeting a group of guys who took me to a Cannibal Corpse show. Seeing that sledgehammer rhythm and George’s fierce vocals with Webster’s wizardry on bass made me do a 180.
for me it was led zeppelin, then helmet, then korn
Limp Bizkit literally changed my life and opened my eyes to a whole new kind of music. I would have never gotten into heavy music without them.
ruclips.net/video/MrJl1Pskxvs/видео.html
Yeah for me it was the opposite it nearly turned me away from both metal and rap thank god for Mobb deep and Pantera though
@@arisanagno0024 facts limp bizkit is dogshit lol
Same for me. I liked rap. And because of linkin park and limp bizkit, I listen to metal for like 15 years now
Me too. Chocholate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavoured Water hit me like a train when I was 13 and at 34 I still love the band and the genre.
Love how Slipknot and Korn came out with albums this week. Still feelin' the nu-metal vibe.
@Peter Kazavis is that an attempt at an insult?
You're not alone. Korn and Slipknot fricken rock.
@Peter kazavis, yeah imagine people getting triggered because others enjoy something they don't, douche bags
Slipknot and korn have evolved...and i dnt think slipknot was ever nu metal anyways
@@graphix6529 yeah you're exactly right. They have tried to distance themselves from Nu metal. They really don't make that kind of music.
Nu-metal was fun and full of energy. Also, Slipknot and Korn still sell out huge concerts.
Especially slipknot. Every show they play is an arena. I don't even consider them nu metal.
@RPT Enterprise That's your opinion. I think it was awesome.
@RPT Enterprise Yikes, "screamo." It is just metal screams bro, there is no screamo genre.
@@thechitownclown8972 they don't always play in arena's. I seen them play at Aftershock festival. Which wasn't in an arena
@@thechitownclown8972 I think Corey tailor is the only reason slipknot still breaths
as a 13 year old depressed and anxious kid, Slipknot's first album (the self-titled one) was basically my lifesaver. I never felt so understood by a band and could so identify with all the rage, anger and frustration in their music. Still to this day (20 years later) I think the first Slipknot album is absolutely brilliant and was my gateway into hardcore, punk and metal
yeah totally agreed
Same! To all of it!
Pushing 30 and totally agree!
Was song 9 purity? Or was it removed by that time
Dude, same. I was that depressed and angry kid from Ohio who loved slipknot, korn and mudvayne. At 29 years, I definitely still have that kid in me. Though not as angry lol.
As a hip hop head i remember getting into Korn, POD, System of a Down, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. Woodstock 99 was epic lol
Burning down the entire concert. I was only 13 but I sure wish I could have been there!
Limp Bizkit riots were mostly peaceful riots
Nonpoint too
noooooooo dont call soad nu metal soad isnt nu metal im gonna cry
@@jvbble System of a Down was nu metal
Nu Metal still hasnt died just the majority of present People's taste in music has died
True people now mostly listen to trap and songs that do induce drugs and violence and glorify it but still accuse metal of that?

Sevendust is always consistent, one of the hardest working bands in the industry.

Absolute fact
@finnmckenty do you have any Sevendust interviews or coverage of their long career where they've never been huge, but maintained a diehard 700-1k level of fanbase that never misses a show when they come around.
My dad is a pilot and he met them once on a plane. Very polite, very chill. Didn't demand rockstar treatment or bother anyone. That's not true of a lot of bands. I respect that they don't have giant egos and seem to just see themselves as normal people.
@@morganqorishchi8181 Sounds like the 7D I love and respect, since they do the same for others.
i personally don't like nu metal but it's just not for me. more people need to realize that you can dislike something without attacking the people over it.
I hated nu metal back then when it was oversaturated, but I completely understand why it got popular in the first place.
Sometimes I actually wish I enjoyed it when I see how crazy Korn audiences can be.
As a nu metal fan I gonna say, You are good man , Respect 👊
People call me a homophobe just for not agreeing with their view however i respect their individual right as human beings
Simple thing that people aren't capable or don't want too.
@floppa Vevo folks really don't seem to get that these days
This video should be called “why I love Korn” lol
KoRn is still going strong, they were much more serious and mature back when all the other bands were going off the rails crazy with lyrics and content.
ruclips.net/video/MrJl1Pskxvs/видео.html✨
They are legit a good band.
Oh yeah. ball tongue was Shakespeare.
Nu-metal is like any other genre, you have guys writing the music, and you guys who are basically covers bands.
Yes, The Nothing album was an absolute masterpiece.
I will always love nu metal, and I wish it was still as popular as it used to be. I grew up with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, SOAD, RATM, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Evanescence, Mudvayne, Sevendust, Static X. I wish there was a new generation of nu metal bands, but I still listen to these bands on a regular basis, especially when I go running, and I still buy new Korn and slipknot and Disturbed albums when they come out. First concerts I went to were summer sanitarium tour in 2003 with Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Metallica and Mudvayne, and Ozzfest 2003 with Korn and Disturbed and I just saw Korn, Evanescence, and RATM this summer and they were still incredible! I listen to many different genres of music, but these bands will always be my favorite to see live and nu metal will always be my favorite subgenre of rock!
I think nu metal bands like Grade 8, Motograter, Twisted Method, and others could’ve became popular if their debut albums came out before 2003. FFDP wouldn’t probably exist because Ivan would still be in Motograter!
I'm with you Bro!
Try hed pe. Start with the greatest Hits album Theyre amazing
I saw Korn and System of a Down on Saturday, it was an awesome show. Korn,System of a Down,Deftones,Slipknot and yes even Limp Bizkit are hands down the greatest Nu Metal bands.
Limp bizkets first album was more (actually) heavy metal (not like ozzy heavy metal, more like slipknot) nu-metal. The second album and later transitioned to nu-metal with heavy rap influences.
@@tylerhorn3712 you mean 3 dollar bill y'all was more extreme nu metal

You're right, they became Korny and limper than Bizkit

I'm from Bakersfield, Korn's hometown, and EVERYONE here listens to Korn. Rap heads, elderly folks, preppy girls we all listen to Korn.
Good
ChrisSchroederMUSIC hell yeah
I'm not even a Korn fan, but this makes me happy. Just the fact that something like music can break social boundaries like that is a cool thing in my opinion.
My uncle is from there!! Lol. Nu-Metal scene is a broader group of mistfits but fit a similar profile as Juggalos. Lots of overlapping with fans.
Bakersfield sounds fun
Just saw Korn/Chevelle on April 1st. They all looked alive to me. The show was awesome and what's even cooler, my granddaughter is the one who suggested we go. She wanted tickets for her 19th birthday. I don't think she even had a clue how much I like Korn. Korn and Chevelle both sounded incredible. Now if I can just get my wife to go see Anthrax and Black Label Society in August here in Dallas, she has already baulked so it may take more persuasion.
I feel Slipknot was a nu-metal band just from their first album but the rest of their albums is just straight up pure metal
Iowa is pure nu metal
Their first three albums are definitely nu metal
Slipknot is great because they have elements of every style of extreme metal mashed together with elements of industrual and hip hop
@@thetranz13nt52 agree 💯
@@alexmohr1072 Iowa is the farthest albums from nu metal atleast slipknot's self titled album has a a handful of songs that has rapping which makes it nu metal but every other album from slipknot isn't Mu metal at all
"Nu metal is dead"

With the *heavy breathing* I just imagined Corey getting ready to scream "GOODBYE"

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KILLED NU METAL WAS THE FAN BASE JUDGING ALL THE NEWBIES. YOU COULDNT BUY A SLIPKNOT SHIRT WITHOUT THEM ASKING YOU THEIR PURITY TESTS
Yeah, gatekeeping in a group that was meant to rebel against the gatekeepers. SMH
PURITY
tbf it happens to metal genre in general. id say its how popular it got and like the video said, the gimmick and fusion of genres just seem shallow. but i still love the genre for what its worth since its part of my childhood
Lol oh you mean when purity was taken off the one album and changed with "me inside" I forgot about that shit
Lmao nu-metal posers trying to gatekeep is the funniest shit I've heard all day
Deftones were not 'corny'. Amazing band
Not a chance.. They were soo cool on other peoples albums songs
But they were rightfully mainstream HATED with the WHite Pony sappysap.

@@sativaplathit is because of tiktok
Comparing 'Numb' by Linkin Park to 'Ball Tongue by Korn is like comparing 'Alone I break by Korn to 'With you' by Linkin Park. Linkin park were nu metal
Linkin Park might be the very first band that comes up in peoples mind when they hear nu metal
@AJ Soprano true. I mean, hybrid theory sold almost 30 mio times. Linkin park are THE defined nu metal band. Or were.
Their first two albums were 100% nu-metal. I agree it was a really ridiculous comparison.

Limp Bizkit stopped writing hits. It’s that simple. First three albums were classics.
Also Wes Borland leaving the band before that 4th album really had a big impact on their sound, it just wasn't the same and they just fizzled.
But people were really really sick of Fred and all of his antics.
Thank you
@@alainkaizer7769 exactly after hearing that Wes Borland was not in the follow up album from hot dog flavored water my interested fizzled out of the band.I mean I bought there follow up album and I listen to it but the songs weren’t any good.
what do u think of the new korn drummer
Snot is by far the best band to ever come of this metal era. We did not get nearly enough of them. If I was going to listen to anything from this era, it would be Snot, hands down. That album still holds up.
Love Snot. Those guys were killer. Sad we only got one album.
I'm going to see Korn this weekend. Slipknot next month. Long live nu-metal.
BB&T? Thats what I'm doing 😂
I saw Korn a few months ago for my second time. They're absolutely ridiculously good live still.
Thank you this guy is a moron
Long live the knot.
Korn still kills it live.
When your a kid growing up in the early 90s riding bmx and skateboards and watching Xgames...your absolutely a nu metal child...
Growing in 00 and still adequate.
the hair bands and grunge was so much better and still thick in the early nineties.
Absolutely
I loved that era. It was like living in a movie
Oh hi Kyle.
Deftones were definitely Nu metal in the 90s, at least in Around the Fur era for sure. But they moved on and I think they had the most success of any nu metal band in not being tied down to that era
I also think Korn and Slipknot have come a long way in finding new sounds. And Linkin Park... completely changed it up!
Deftones still today are my favorite band 😍
Tones for life!
Agreed.
Longtime tones fan and always will be
Never gave a damn if anyone liked them or not
The Deftones were definitely more overtly artistic and daring than other nu metal bands.
Nu-Metal is the middle of the venn diagram of middle 90s music. The 90s was pretty crazy especially near the end. Basically popular music culture decided to either start merging genres or reviving old genres. I mean we had a freaking Swing revival in the middle of it.

Yeah, there's a reason why Korn were so successful and started the whole nu metal craze, it was the simply perfect combination of Jonathan's unique personality and the insane show he puts on and the great, unique riffs of his equally talented bandmates. Not all of their stuff is good or has aged well, and today I don't really care about them anymore, but I can see why people loved it in the 90s and early 00s.
I love korn. I grew up with them, they are still one of my favorite bands. But I gotta say there was another band that I really enjoyed that didn't get as much attention. I can see why but to me they still hold a special place in my life, mudvayne. I see myself going back to their old albums over and over again especially L.D50.
Mudvayne were ace
Yes! Mudvayne were awesome in concert too.
I always see Linkin Park as their own thing with a lot of nu metal influences, they really created a unique sound with Hybrid Theory and Meteora and it’s still fucking awesome

@@hosseinderakhshan5607 WRONG!! .........nah jokes I agree very influencial and its interesting hearing about Mike shinoda the wrapper when they got signed the label wanted to cut him cause he didnt fit the genre the label wanted but the band backed him up and that was one of the most defining parts of the band was all their chemistry between members and their sounds...
Linkin Park.. I'm not into there sound, but they are very good musicians and the singer is very talented.
Nu-Metal was what I started listening to but I progressed on into heavier and heavier metal.
That been said I do still listen to some old skool Nu-Metal now and then

Yep same here. Nu metal was my gateway to pretty much everything metal lol. I love everything from KoRn and linkin park to Pantera and Morbid Angel.
I have to agree on this as well... Nu-metal is fun listening to but you get bored of it pretty quick and it provides a gateway to much better subgenres of metal that are more technical.
i went from nu metal to devourment. i still listen to my favorite stuff from 2001-2003 and enjoy it :)

This is a great video, and I absolutely love how this guy's sets Korn aside. They're definitely one of those special bands that you find in your life and it hits you right where you are. Took me until 26, but I'm so glad I found them.

Yingle it was the soundtrack of my life when I was a teenager and every now and then I listen to those bands again.

Slipknot we're my gateway to heavy metal. For that reason i'll never stop listening to them. No band changed my musical taste as much as slipknot did. Closest thing would be Rage Against The Machine.
Also Rage are a band i'd love to see an episode on!
It was Korn for me. The album Follow The Leader changed my life
Rage got me into metal period then once I knew what nu metal was, it was a wrap.
yea Korn had that same affect to me
Slipknot just came first really, could have easily been Korn or Rage that did that for me. Wasn;t until a couple of years after my cousin showed me SOAD and Rage.
@@TheDirtyKenzo Can't really say how i'd feel. Very situational
One factor that probably contributed to Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish album sales was that it had the Mission Impossible 2 song (Take a look around). That was a huge deal.
Also, Linkin Park's first album (Hybrid Theory) was more or less a Nu Metal album. Their second one was a cross between Nu Metal, Hard Rock and other stuff.
I don’t care what the critics say. Let people listen to what they want. There is *nothing* wrong with listening to Nu Metal. Rather it’d be Limp Bizkit, Korn, Linkin Park, Slipknot, or really any Nu Metal band. I would like to see Nu Metal make a comeba-
Oh yeah, Korn and Slipknot made great comebacks this year! Anyway. Don’t let the death of Nu Metal ruin your love of the genre, or stopping you from getting into it. If anyone says it’s wrong to listen to Nu Metal, that’s their problem. Thank you Punk Rock MBA for making this video and giving a respect to the fans
The only thing dead about nu metal is the label nor slipknot, mudvayne or mushroomhead in my opinion are nu metal bands they never were korn on the other hand are still going strong to this day so the only thing dead here is the term nu metal

i was born in 95, korn and slipknot were definitely my gateway bands to metal, i grew up watching mtv and their videos popped up sometimes. korn was the first band i loved with weirder sounds and slipknot the first with actually heavy songs, and masks haha being the 'first of a kind' to kids in the 2000s, the last time 10 year old kids were deciding their music taste based mostly on mtv and not the internet, it's undeniable they're a part of us that are now in our 20s, 30s. this video was nostalgic af
Nu-Metal has always been my favorite Genre/Time Period in Music. I still listen to sooo much of that music today and is a huge influence on my Music and My Vocals
I agree with you 100%...I started to play on bass because of limp bizkit...and i'll always love this kind of music.
Respect for korn for keeping their guitars simple yet heavy so begginers like me don't struggle too hard when playing haha
I was inpired by Nu-metal! Check me out #brokeatbest Yeah I can't sing(yet) but vocals are placeholders so I don't forget them lol
Ever since I discovered Nu-Metal, I couldn't get enough. I don't care if people hated it, I will continue to listen to it until one day it kills me or it gets me killed.
@RoeFox Lol, Welp it's too late for me now
For me Nu-metal was cool back then. And I still stand by this. Deftones and early Korn was the shit.
Deftones rly moved past Nu metal after their first two albums. i love all their stuff, but they in general now arent nu metal at all
@@hippikilla1753 totally agree. They're closer to shoegaze these days, which is great, but I still listen to Around the Fur on the regular.
@Idea Headed Growling and screaming is common in nu metal so I don't know what you're talking about. The only people I've clashed with about nu metal preferred traditional metal genres and they deny that nu metal is actually metal, probably because they can't pin it down to the list of like 5 genres that they know.
@@KindNine Even calling any of these bands Nu Metal is shitty, in my opinion, because it's this stupid, arbitrary label we stuck on all these bands who were just trying to figure out a style and sound. In the age of White Pony you also had like Nickelback and such. Korn was still producing music but it was bad by then. I don't even want to talk about Limp Bizkit... I'm trying to repress the memory of that, or suppress, or something. But they were very popular. It was just a really experimental age.
Which of the bands from that time are still producing relevant music? Still touring at relevant shows (where they headline, not some stupid, unnecessary revival festival).
Deftones stand alone.
@MusicMoviesGames well I very much doubt the last part, but I agree with most of what you said. I was mainly just saying that the name "Nu Metal" is and was ridiculous.
Nu-metal will always have a special place in my heart. Linkin park is what eventually sent me down the road to the rest of the metal world.
Same
Same here surprisingly. Crazy to think that I play heavier shit than this but through linkin park, I discovered disturbed, Slipknot, and eventually bands like JFAC, etc.
Same... oddly enough, my first Linkin Park song was "In the End" on Kidz Bop 3.
@@ECL28E In the End was on Kidz Bop? WTF? Are you serious? That's just wrong, little kids shouldn't be getting full frontal nihilism at such a young age.
Yes missing that LP
Nu Metal was cool. Still is. It wasn’t corny at all, around here if you didn’t listen to Bizkit, Korn, Deftones, Slipknot etc, shred a skateboard, spray paint, and get high, you werernt cool at all. You’re the best, Fin. I can watch these all day long! 🤘🏻
Deftones absolutely hated being thrown in that category, so they released White Pony. And that's kind of the entire idea behind the single - Change (in the house of flies).
White Pony is something I still listen to🖤
I adore the Deftones. I listen to them every few months, one of the only bands from that era whose new music I like. I feel like they've changed with me as I've grown up.
Deftones is their own category.
Clever boys!
I would never call Deftones nu metal. They're more their own thing
It took me years to realize that numetal has always been my favorite genre.
Some of the bands he listed I never considered numetal. Fuck, half of my favorite bands are numetal apparently haha. I still cruise down the road listening to Dope, Static-X, Slipknot etc at full volume. The rest is a weird mix with half being folk metal.
@@snesguy9176 Meh Static-X was closer to industrial metal but those fans didnt like his music.
same lol
same xD

ahh how I miss the "Rage-Againts-the-Limp-Korn-Tone" days
Lol
Rage is BACK
Hahahaha how I love limp Korn tones
Ratlkt
I don't miss the "Limp" part at all
You got that transition between Nu Metal and heavier music perfectly. Exactly what happened to me: from KoRn to Haste the Day
Slipknot is dead? Someone should probably tell Slipknot that....
J Phillips They released Unsainted a month ago. 15M streams on Spotify and 26M views on RUclips...but yep, Slipknot is dead.
Theyre dead to trendy people.
Brandon Slipknot do not follow trends.
Yea ok? Just go on youtube and watch them at download 2 weeks ago

GamE FrEak Same here. There will always be a special place in my heart for Nu metal
Thanks Nu Metal for the coolest time in my life)
Agreed! I was in 6th-10th grade and LOVED Nu-Metal - That's what got me into Metalcore. But being a little Punk skater kid got me into Hardcore ;-p
Agree with you.
A lot of people don't care for nu-metal, and I don't understand at all. I love it all.
Yes!
Best comment on the Internet
I've always felt Incubus was heavily underrated. Their albums ‘Make Yourself’ and ‘Morning View’ were huge. Even if they’re not totally “Nu Metal”.
Very intersting video.
I'm from France, and I was 14 yeas old in 1996.
We also had this Nu-Metal tsunami in Europe, and this was the best time of my life!
Between 1996 & 2000 with bands like Korn, Coal Chamber, Deftones, SOAD, My Ruin, Kittie... we definitely had our own bands! No need to deal with the old metal bands of our older brothers and sisters. New sound, new clothes, that was GREAT and that was our generation!!!
Plus also no internet like today at this time, no free downloads, no youtube! When we bought a tape or a cd, we absolutely had to love it, even if it was bad, hahaha!
Today, as I'm writing this comment, I'm 40 years old, and I still listen to all these bands, I still wear Deftones shirt, and I still have a Coal Chamber bag.
Thank you for this video.
Even though I'm in my 20s I still miss the 90s-00s music, basically most music sounded way better than today's trash it wasn't so commercialised made to sell rather than passion. When I was a tenn in late 00s-early 10s there was so many alternative people that didn't dress the same, nowadays everyone seems to look the same and almost act the same. I miss the times where people were angry and pissed off at the government's around the world.
My favourite band will always be system of a down, I wish they could have worked out their beef with each other.
Same here....
actually, I was a hip hop kid. It was some friends I used to hang out with who got me into Metal in general because of bands like Korn, LB, ILL Niño, Deftones, and Soil.
Then I found bands like Gojira, Dagoba, and Meshuggah. Seeing these bands live was the ultimate experience as well. They inspired me to pick up a guitar and learn. I'm thankful for my musical journey.
@@benclimo461 I think you're getting a distorted view through the eyes of nostalgia.... These bands were HEAVILY commercialized to sell. It was no different than the hair metal or post-grunge stuff, nor the boy bands, pop punk or emo acts or any other super popular trend. Claiming all the nu metal bands were solely about originality and genuine passion is a HUGE stretch to say the least. There were very few actually original acts. Most of them were just clones from one type of band or another, much like Finn showed in the video. Seriously, what makes Breaking Benjamin so unique compared to Three Days Grace, or POD to Saliva? The majority of those bands all played from the same formula one way or another. For every Korn, there were a few dozens Korn derivatives. They all copied the same style of music, same lyrics, same clothes/hair/makeup/costume, same stage antics, etc. I agree it's a lot better than the trash in heavy rotation nowadays, but don't pretend it wasn't all about the money and getting exposure back then just like it is now.
I was in Lyon for fete de la music in 2002 and I was blown away by how many quality new metal bands were playing face melting music on the streets. I was not expecting that.
Facts...in the 80s I listened to gangster rap, and metal...In the 90s when NuMetal hit....all I could say was "FINALLY!"
This was the genre that brought heavy music to life to me. I was that angry kid from the suburbs who was only too excited to finally have a genre to identify with.
Many of my friends followed this path too.
@Songs for the Blind that was some brutal ass context man. I gotta go rethink my whole life now.
You and me both man!
Same I started with a7x and disturbed and pretty much worked backwards until I hit the 60’s and 50’s I love everything from slayer to Sinatra. Except country, I was raised on that shit and I hate it.
I agree but from the country and I hate country music

I love the way linkin park incorporated nu metal into their music with hip hop. They become extremely popular in the 2000s and kept going. They were my ticket into the genre, I have high respect for what direction they took and didn’t let criticism put them down!
Respect to them for making the music they wanted to make. That being said, in my opinion they only have 4 good albums and 2 of them are remix albums.
Linkin Park did an amazing job.... Bloodywood keeps it ALIVE !!!
Pretty underrated band.
Hybrid theory and Meteora are awesome Nu Metal and Rock/Rap Albums.
Minutes to Midnight and ATS are a creative concept of history about the “Begin to the End of the World” with acoustic and electronic influences.
Living Things it’s a powerful message about human living.
The Hunting Party it’s a good return of the “old Linkin Park”.
One More Light is a nice concept but a lazy production.
For me:
1. Meteora (9.5)
2. Minutes to Midnight (9.0)
3. Hybrid Theory (8.5)
4. Living Things (8.0)
5. A Thousand Suns (7.5)
6. The Hunting Party (6.5)
7. One More Light (5.0)
Remixes
Collision Course (8.5)
Reanimartion (7.0)
Recharged (5.0)
👍🏾
They also combine their nu metal with Jay Z's rap, way ahead of its time and i think we took it for granted nowadays
35 years old and Korn - Freak on a Leash was my gateway into rock music. Loved the music video at first then slowly grew into the music. Slipknot was a sound I grew to love after Vol 3 but Iowa is my favorite of theirs. Going to my first Slipknot concert in a few week. In the pit of course.
I don't think Deftones borrowed from nu-metal. They started it with Korn. Both bands had releeased their demos in 1993
Cane hill brought null metal back. Check them out.
@@reptilesgamers00 Man Cane Hill nails it with their straight forward riffs over off-beat drums. But I wouldn't consider them Nu-Metal.
@@reptilesgamers00 Just went and looked them up, Too Far gone definitely feels good man
Deftones never categorized themselves as nu metal
Like Linus is proof that Deftones had a lot of influences from different styles. Adrenaline has this hardcore feel with it's rawness and plentiful screaming (which isn't a surprise, because Chino loved hardcore). Amazing fucking band that may have never been as big as Korn, Limp Bizkit, or Slipknot. The White Pony era was the closest they got as far as being a household name. But they never actually sucked and critics continue to praise each release.
I've been waiting for a long time for this video! Thank you Finn. Absolutely loved this genre when I was young, don't care what the 'elitist' say haha.
Agreed man
Ignore those elitst scum
So true man!!!
Why is everybody hating nu-metal? I'm dead serious nu-metal is one of my favourite genres right now. It is really fun to listen and I don't get tired listening to RATM. (Testify 3 times a day, because why not)
Well, Rage isn't really Nu Metal tho. They influenced the style but they are more of a Rap Metal like Body Count and what Anthrax were doing with Public Enemy, with a lot of influence of more Funky bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers.
@@gabrielventura2510 Yeah, sounds about right. That's good point.
@@nocapmajor but I kinda agree with you about all the hate on Nu Metal, there are some extremely shit bands that emerged from that style, but there arr some good bands too, just like every genre of music, although unfortunately Nu Metal had more of those awful bands than usual lol.
@@gabrielventura2510 Yeah, right. Lol
@TheGreaterGood80 yeah man, couldn't agree more. It oversaturated as quickly as it got mainstream, that's why almost none of those bands stayed relevant after the downfall of the genre.
I was born around the fall of the genre 12 years later I found out who Metallica was and it sent me down a rabbit hole where I eventually found nu metal and it’s still one of my favorite genres.
Nu metal is my favorite genre in metal music. I promise I’m not kidding. Btw my favorite nu metal bands are mudvayne, HED pe, flaw, slipknot, korn, and mushroomhead
Me too and those are all bands I very much enjoy.
MUDVAYNE --- FREAKING AWSOME
Jacob Bartolatz pantera is good too but nu metal is still my favorite genre in metal music.
Mudvayne is okay Korn and Slipknot are great mushroom head is trash
Edward Steward I love mushroomhead I think they have a unique sound. I actually did my research and they had masks before slipknot. They just started gaining popularity after slipknot became popular. They’re not trying to be like slipknot
Wait wtf, that's me at 18:22 haha! :)
Ha! Thanks for watching
🤣🤣🤣
Korns first 4 albums will forever be in my heart. I grew out of it as I got older but I will always listen to the first 2 Korn albums because those help me get through the hardest years of my life 97-99
korn is a gold struck band. they can make music 20 years after their debut and its still original and raw, they deserve all of the respect

Slipknots not dead
As corey taylor said in all out life. "Old does not mean dead. New does not mean best"
Corey Taylor is a great vocalist
Fuck the world
Considering Slipknot fell off after Iowa, that statement rings truest for them
@@TooMuchSascha they got bigger after iowa all in all
@@MKAnr1 Maybe they got more popular but the quality of their music dropped. They lost their rage, their energy and their desire to make people move; instead they just started writing slow jams with some pinch harmonics so they could tell people they never stopped being heavy
I will stand by KoRn's first two albums untill I die. I think they're genuinely good.
They are. You're not alone.
Totally. The third has its' moments too.
...and even though it's rather good, the fourth has its Issues.
@@needfoolthings Wakka Wakka Wakkaaa!!!!

I agree with you I just wanted to be a smart ass
I'm a Korn fan since Issues came out. I was around 14 at that time. This June i saw Korn live the first time. I don't know why but i just missed all the shows over the years.
But this show was so freaking insane. One of the best concerts i have seen. No chance to pull me out of the pit.
