Finn you said that everyone listens to the same Nu-Metal bands. I was wondering if you have ever listened to a fellow RUclipsr Whang's Nu-Metal band called Jynx? I really like them and wonder what you think about them if you have ever heard them?
I think I've said this before but I have never liked System of a Down. Let's see in this upcoming year how many people put them on a pedestal As legendary Artists.. I mean people can like what they want but I just don't understand it there is nothing good about that band If there's a System of a Down fan reading this please give me a couple of examples on why they're so good
As a survivor of the 1990's, I can affirm that Nu Metal fans had the same rep as the girl in your English class that wore cat ears and hissed at people
My brother (born in 89) was in the height of nu-metal and he gave off those vibes to me even as a kid. He tried sooo hard to look bad but ended up looking goofy. He moved onto being a juggalo by 2004 so... if that says anything
Watching kids today think that nü-metal was inclusive and a cool aesthetic is a riot. They clearly never got whipped by a wallet chain worn by the dirty kid who smelled like maple syrup and cigarettes.
Man, reminds me of the old hardcore scene. "We accept anyone" then proceeds to beat up some kid for no reason, and stand around in front of the elks lodge smoking clove cigarettes.
If you wore those baggy jeans and spiked your hair at my school, we woulda swirlied you until your hair was normal and left you inside of a locker to dry out lol!
@@icankillbugs a mall goth girl in this video was wearing velvet and Finn said to never trust them. Definitely reminded me of a broad i wish i never met.
What I love about this revival is the fact that I bought White Pony album when it came out because all alt chicks at my school loved it and it worked. And now decades later same strategy is still working somehow for young lads. My prediction is that early era Nine Inch Nails will come back next.
The White Pony patch a punk/gothy girl in my school wore on her backpack introduced me to the band xD She looked cool and I wanted to know what she listens to.
I'm 44 and played bass in a few nu metal bands since around 98. Had the dreadlocks, pierced eyebrow, big a$$ cargo pants, sweat wrist bands, etc. I now have a recording studio and continue to write nu metal music.. I just never stopped all these years.
@@subparnaturedocumentary always played Ibanez basses, from the 80s X Series to the Iceman and everything in between. It wasn't until recently that I bought a Jaguar short scale bass and a thunderbird bass for recording a few grunge style songs.
@therealkakitron nice! I'm not in a band or a pro but I have an ibanez sr305 left handed I play down in my basement, occasionally I'll play with my dad, he plays guitar, but it'll only be blues and country which I don't like but makes him happy
Kids listening to nu metal today is like my time in the late 90s/early 2000s when we liked the classic rock bands of the 60s and 70s. Everything from 20 years before your time become cool again for a while.
After 38 years I'm finally kinda bored of nu-metal tbh. I attribute this to years of therapy with a good therapist. Korn, Slipknot, and Mudvayne never get boring to me. White Pony is a great album though.
Where I was at in the 90s, the genre wasn’t looked down on as much as the fans were. Most nu-metal fans were The Dumb Kids. The future career petty criminals. The sniffing Actual Spray Paint before school kids.
Man, I got into nu-metal in like 2006. I was the "has-been" nu-metaller; not even a fan during it's prime, and like you said even if I was I'd still be bashed on. The has-been nu-metaller was so jaded we weren't even made fun of, just judged from a distance. It's amazing to see this resurgence of the genre, which is possibly even bigger than it's time during the late 90's/early 00's.
Finn, I’ll be 43 this year, and God as my witness, i have no idea what year/decade I’m living in anymore. But I’m happy to see this come back. I do argue that most of these bands are more butt-rock than Nu Metal, but hey… I’ll take any of this over indie/car commercial/whoa-whoa-whoa/foot stomp lameness all day, everyday!
I remember referring to new metal/mall kids as slum. Like the kid in a Cookie Monster hat, swim trunks and any new metal band shirt, socks, and sandals vibes that’s a slum kid.
We need a series of the ultimate nu metal label............ROADRUNNER RECORDS...... A series where we dive in on every band that contributed to the domination of this labe
That random "RHCP is music for people that cried when Office got taken off Netflix" tiktok is top tier. Also, krisskrypt looks like alternative version of that girl Seth Cohen was crushing on (Summer was it?).
You brought the tearing down of numetal and its fans along with it. Brings back memories of having to defend my liking of Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit, etc.
You need to listen to the full version of Nik's nu metal song. It's called 'Primal' and it's genuinely a fantastic song! He got Justin from Tallah to do vocals
I went to the most recent Hed (PE) tour and I was shocked at how many young people there were. It was like 1/3 cargo shorts and xxl band t gen x dads, 1/3 elder emos and 1/3 tik tok afficionados.
They've had their moments. Especially with the conspiracy theory stuff but. They actually incorporate real fucked up shit in their music. I feel like tons of other bands try to be all dark and shit but Hed Pe are actually what those other bands are talking about. Like they aren't pretentious in being having a screwed up past. The rest of that scene is really like, white boy who hangs NEXT to the ghetto but just wants to be cool. Cmon, let's be honest.
Only black metal bands fully accept their label. Almost every emo band hated being called emo. Some bands even try to lie straight lie about what they are to sound cool.
“Use too much of any of the 4 elements of Nü Metal and you’re annoying…too much angst, you’re Staind…” Nailed it! 👏 Staind were extremely annoying for that reason, and Linkin Park does have a nice balance of the 4 elements agreed
I grew up in the 80's and never liked the hair bands that people called metal. I will admit that when nu-metal bands started to get played on Q101 in Chicago, I loved it. Nu-metal is what got me into heavier music. I'm kind of one of those people that seems like I am always in a good mood. But I like my music to be angry and aggressive. It is kind of cathartic for someone who has a hard time being assertive or angry ever. Korn was always my favorite.
So cool they mentioned Hed PE. I saw them back in 2010 probably one of my favorite shows ever. But honestly they would be cancelled nowadays if they released Only In Amerika now, cause Jahred would be spitting some really triggering bars
I just saw Hed Pe ( Im 23 ) like last Saturday and they came to my hometown, and bro let me tell you they actually put on one of the best shows I've attended. Old man can get tf down. I felt like you should do an episode on them because they ended up in the nu metal bunch but they came from the angle of punk, am I correct? Anyway I've been waiting for you to mention that band in all honesty because I think they actually go hard as fuck lol
I love Hed (Pe) and earlier on they definitely had a Nu-Metal sound. They kinda went into a punk direction for a while around their 4th or 5th album but I like all their stuff.
I saw them back in April and had the same experience. They absolutely rocked the house. I've been a fan since way before I should've been.. like 8 years old, so going on 20 years now (thanks dad) I wish Finn would do a deep dive on them. I think they officially describe themselves as G-punk but Broke and Blackout clearly fit the nu metal criteria.
If it ain’t cringe, it ain’t fun, I loved hair/glam metal in the 80’s and I love Nu Metal now. ( Ironically, I didn’t love Nu Metal when it was popular 20-25 years ago becauseI was just bitter that Skid Row and Bulletboys weren’t making their big comeback that I was hoping for)😂
When I think of nu-metal I have memories of getting the new Korn CD (maybe with an obscure poster) from Media Play in Toledo Ohio and pretending my mom didn't drive me there and pay for it.
Just a reminder that Staind, Skindred, Nonpoint, and Saliva all have new music either just recently released or released next month. It’s like 2001 all over again, just a little older and fatter. 😂
In my twenties, I almost started my own battle vest. But...I wasn't able to earn my patches by going to shows because none of the bands ever came to my area. Dodged a bullet there. In my thirties now and I'm glad I never had that jacket made up. Phew.
Unfortunately I was born in the 2000’s so I didnt have the chance to be bullied during the peak of nu metal. So I’m happy I can be bullied for it in modern times 🫡
I was a huge nu metal fan as a teen but loved most metal. We had a whole week set up of awesome shows. We saw Dry Kill Logic and Spineshank and then planned to see Pantera, Slayer amd Static X three days later. That fuckin Spineshank gig in Dublin was on 9/10 2001.
I've gone so deep on the nu metal iceberg that I even started listening to Gazzoleen, As Ashes Fall and Blister 66 and Tod. just to name a few, and I'd like to mention that I found those bands like 4 years ago (when I was 13) 😅
"Nike is the best"? I got news for you, Finn. I work at a Nike facility and no other brand name shoe is made cheaper and blows out quicker. I still can't figure out why they even attempted a skate shoe line honestly.
Back in 1999/2000 it was not as easy to discover new bands as it is today with Spotify and RUclips suggesting similar bands. Most bands I listened to back then were bands my friends suggested to me (or just MTV 😂). Maybe it was easier in the States.
Question: what's your favorite subgenre of nu-metal: the hip-hop derived wing like Limp Bizkit, the goth/industrial wing like Coal Chamber, the grunge wing like Seether, the multi-influenced wing like Linkin, or the heavy/extreme wing like Slipknot?
Multi-influenced wing bands like Deftones and Incubus are my favorite. Next would be the heavy wing with Slipknot and Mudvayne. I do like the hip hop influenced bands too, P.O.D is great. I like a lot of nu metal.

He moved onto being a juggalo by 2004 so... if that says anything
Idk I was born in 86 and I can say first hand that I didn't wear, listen to or do anything for any other reason than I liked it.
Quirky bass player is definitely an element of nu metal, but too much quirky bass and you’re Primus!
Alien Ant Farm immediately comes to mind. So smart.
If only I could play like Les
@@Intentspunk19Tye is such a sick bass player. I was bummed when he left the band. I always thought it was cool how he played a 6 string.
@@psychotropictraveler514he has his own yt channel with a lot of song playthroughs if you haven't seen it. Definitely underrated
Nailed it!

Maple syrup 💀

That's so descriptive and perfectly describes it.
I genuinely think that for the most part, you don't get to decide which genre your music belongs in. You get told by the audience which finds you.
>this
Finn at 80: gather round, grandkids, I have a story to tell!
Grandkids: grandpa can you tell us about Nu Metal again?
Literally every velvet mall goth girl I knew owned a ferret or a rat, or both. No exaggeration.
My stereotypes are never wrong!
I México they had iguanas lol
What is a "velvet" mall goth?
@@icankillbugs a mall goth girl in this video was wearing velvet and Finn said to never trust them. Definitely reminded me of a broad i wish i never met.
I got into nu metal right after my emo phase in middle school. I'm pretty sure my brain just seeks out music that got me picked on.
Oooo I see....
Welp. Love ya anyway!
Love ya too @@jasongarcia2140
Omg. I found nu metal after my emo phase too! 😅
Edit: Now I've started on grunge rock.
I went from emo to nu metal to post grunge and back to emo before mellowing out into nu metal again... i'm a bit of everything lmao
Fun fact: basses and guitars used to weigh around 250lbs in the early 2000's, that's why people played them all hunched over.
#TIL
they added an extra string to each in the 90s and it threw their balance off.
Lol wat
@@HiGlowie r/whoooosh
😅
What I love about this revival is the fact that I bought White Pony album when it came out because all alt chicks at my school loved it and it worked. And now decades later same strategy is still working somehow for young lads. My prediction is that early era Nine Inch Nails will come back next.

Which band?
Thank god I was an industrial kid. That's way less cringe...right? RIGHT?! I'm gonna go cry now.
Industrial is where it was at in the 90s
Not sure, I DON'T KNOW ANY INDUSTRIAL KIDS.
Thing is there is a lot of overlap between Nu Metal and Industrial when it comes to fans thus mall goths listened to it
I thought i wore Adidas in a Johnathan Davis way.... turns out i wear it in a beastie boys way... blame my mom for that 😂
I wear them in a Run DMC way.
Why do kids explaining the styles from my youth make me feel even older
Finn, Nu metal people don’t know what a sommelier is, say something more relatable like tweaker.
Like a Juggalo sniffing Faygo
Kids listening to nu metal today is like my time in the late 90s/early 2000s when we liked the classic rock bands of the 60s and 70s. Everything from 20 years before your time become cool again for a while.

"guys, wake up, finn uploaded a nu metal video; start making the coffee, i'll go tell the neighbours!"

"My culture is not your costume" LOL
Musician who plays in the most straightforward conforming to the genre rules band: "We don't like to categorize ourselves."

It's amazing to see this resurgence of the genre, which is possibly even bigger than it's time during the late 90's/early 00's.
I got into it in 2002/3/4 before getting into ‘proper’ metal, so I feel your pain on the ‘has-been’ stakes.
'Flared with cut off bottoms that used to get all muddy' Damn that takes me back to 2001 😂
With the back of the legs all chewed up from being walked on 🤢
The girl getting upset at Daron usage of the R-word is so funny because that’s the least problematic thing related to him.
the one dude who accepted their label: that guitarist you interviewed who admitted his bandly blatantly ripped meshuggah

T-thank you my lord 🙏
TikTok be ruining everything
TikTok is a cultural wasteland
I blame the people that have tiktok
Only if you use it
I disagree actually. I think it’s keeping culture alive and developing new cultures
@@ey3z4yanah bc even if you don’t use it you see the result in the kids the teens the music whatever
Fyi Skindred is literally the current hot band on tiktok from a song they put out 20yrs ago 😂
Wow! What a time to be alive
6:25 Just another reason to love NFG! They openly embrace the pop-punk label, promote the genre, name tours after it and produce merch w/ it.
Bowling For Soup as well, I saw them last year with Less than Jake and The Aquabats, and the tour was called Pop Punks Not Dead! Lol
I always thought Faith No More kinda kicked off Nu Metal as well in ways
"Bands hating their genre"
When $uicideboy$ denied being Horror-Core lol
I remember referring to new metal/mall kids as slum. Like the kid in a Cookie Monster hat, swim trunks and any new metal band shirt, socks, and sandals vibes that’s a slum kid.
I knew one goth girl in the late 90's that wore velvet and she indeed had a pet bird. It was some kind of small parrot. Lol!
The unsung heroes of Nü Metal for me are Otep and Sevendust. They and Korn are really all I listen to from that era.
Big love to your stream chat for mentioning 40 Below Summer.
Their first two records were grrreat!
I love nu metal! Elitists are the only folks who disregard it because it's not "metal" metal. It's fun, angry music.
FLAW is such an underrated band. Glad to see that they're getting mentioned.
"Letters to you" I just re-found that song the other day!
“my life is just not whole” BA DA DA BRRR BA DUM BA DUM BRRRRR
They're overrated... only the demo of 1998 is underrated they made.
@@notmus worst take ever 😭🙏🏽
That acoustic version of 'Only the strong' is chefs kiss
We need a series of the ultimate nu metal label............ROADRUNNER RECORDS...... A series where we dive in on every band that contributed to the domination of this labe
Finn, give us a full (HED) P.E. video. Please. Ill fund it.
Pleeeaaaasssee I'm so glad I'm not the only one who wants this
Too much turntable defines Incubus? I feel like he could have picked a better band to represent that.
"Dont be the born in the wrong genaration guy"😂😂 never feld so called out🤣
Nu Metal and cringe should never be in the same sentence 😡
ill niño with Cristian Machado was dope af
I tried so hard to cop Shifty Shellshock's look back in high school so bad but ended up just rocking 2000 Jacoby Shaddix get ups.
Fishnet sleeves and candy bracelets is called the Jeff Hardy Gaunlet
I still say Sevendust are our saviors in Nu Metal, cuz they don't even make a bad album in 2023
SevenDust was my first concert I’ve gone to definitely great band!
“Every artist hates their genre.”
Even Seth Putnam hated AxCx being called Grindcore. Can’t remember what word he used...
Gay
Skindred, Nothingface and Mudvayne were always favorites of mine.
Don’t forget the Capri pants they wore which they loosely labeled “shorts”, which would stop just above the ankles instead of knees.
Dude…. some one in the chat said we smelled like axe and LA hair gel… I can’t un smell that! 😂
I feel like Papa Roach and Alien Ant Farm (Wacky bass well represented there) were conspicuous by their absence in this one...
Totally agree with Tye from AAF, but I don't ever remember recognizing the bassist of PR as a standout character. Got a reference vid or something?
That random "RHCP is music for people that cried when Office got taken off Netflix" tiktok is top tier. Also, krisskrypt looks like alternative version of that girl Seth Cohen was crushing on (Summer was it?).
All in the family is a banger. It’s perfectly 90’s. Children of the korn too, the cheesy ahit korn did on follow the leader was perfect
This! It fit perfectly... here's to 25th Anniversary of one of the best nu-metal albums of all time.
NOW that's what I call music : Nu metal
You brought the tearing down of numetal and its fans along with it. Brings back memories of having to defend my liking of Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit, etc.
This video made me realise once again that ive had a great childhood. Music was super accessable and the culture was hella fun and over the top!
Rats are great pets, that's a hill I'd die on.
9:41 I was like "What about Spineshank?" And last mentioned? There they are
You need to listen to the full version of Nik's nu metal song. It's called 'Primal' and it's genuinely a fantastic song! He got Justin from Tallah to do vocals
This series is my favorite, because it introduced me to “4 Big Guys” and I’m forever grateful. ❤
We gotta Finn to get an interview with Korn! It would be awesome.
All videos with Finn bringing up the smell of Shiftys fingers are S tier
I went to the most recent Hed (PE) tour and I was shocked at how many young people there were. It was like 1/3 cargo shorts and xxl band t gen x dads, 1/3 elder emos and 1/3 tik tok afficionados.
Satellite Beach FL, 18th, best show ever bruh
Shifty shellshock is a level 100 nu metal battle mage in Skyrim.
Stats fully maxed.
Sometimes I wonder why no one talks about Hed PE these days, and then I listen to their music and remember.
They've had their moments. Especially with the conspiracy theory stuff but. They actually incorporate real fucked up shit in their music. I feel like tons of other bands try to be all dark and shit but Hed Pe are actually what those other bands are talking about. Like they aren't pretentious in being having a screwed up past. The rest of that scene is really like, white boy who hangs NEXT to the ghetto but just wants to be cool. Cmon, let's be honest.
"Never trust a girl that wears velvet." Always picking up solid life lessons here.
Only black metal bands fully accept their label.
Almost every emo band hated being called emo.

Good point about black metal!
uhhh.... hawthorne heights?
We need more Static X love from gen Z lol

“Use too much of any of the 4 elements of Nü Metal and you’re annoying…too much angst, you’re Staind…” Nailed it! 👏 Staind were extremely annoying for that reason, and Linkin Park does have a nice balance of the 4 elements agreed
18:20 - the only reason Puma and Pony got real big was KoRn having a deal with them I think at some point

Born 1989 so raised by Nu Metal all the way from South Africa
89 is probably the main birthyear for the classic early 00s nu metal kids who aré still into it (88, 86 AND probably 91 aré good follow ups)
Born in 1989 too. I started with AIC, then went to Nu Metal lol

Oh man, I haven't thought of them in ages. I'm kinda surprised they are still around.
I always considered them to be a crossover band rather than a nu metal band.
No one would call RATM nu metal, but Hed PE was..

It's the same as Hot Topic. You used to get stared at walking in there, now it's just a basic store.
I saw Hed (Pe) in concert. They opened for Godsmack in Las Vegas at the Huntridge Theatre on Charleston Blvd. Bad ass. Good eats across the street.🎉
I love Nu Metal but i understand why people can see it as cringe.

Whoa! Media Play,haven't heard that mentioned in a long time. Loved that store. Got the Liquid Television VHS there. Showing my age big time.

The man just won't stop coming for Dr Pepper
Dr Pepper is the worst to be honest
