I think it was around the time I heard Papa Roach that I knew nu-metal was done. Deftones were and are a legitimately great band and Korn were obviously pioneers, while Bizkit were... well, Bizkit were Bizkit. But Papa Roach were the point where I realised this was going the same way as grunge and Britpop; every label trying to sign up anything that moved until the market was flooded with shite. Shortly after that came Alien Ant Farm and that was really when I felt like the wheels were coming off. Was it worth it? We got Deftones out of it, and Slipknot, Korn and SOAD had a handful of good tunes. As a metal fan, it was fun to see something adjascent to the music I liked actually getting played on the radio and appearing on Top of the Pops. So yeah, it was alright. But it really doesn't need a fucking revival.

Your passion and knowledge of the subject really shines through. The way you contextualized the music with what was going on culturally at the time was spot-on. And I appreciated your balanced take - celebrating what made nu metal exciting and impactful for a generation, while also acknowledging some of its more problematic elements.

I’m gonna dispute the claim that Limp Bizkit kicked off the trend for 80s covers, I’d argue that Marilyn Manson’s version of Sweet Dreams was far more significant.

I like some of L.B's songs but I hated that cover, not because it was L.B I just don't like the song itself...KoRn are probably my favorite band of all time and I will say the same thing about Word Up...just a bad song and not a good choice for a cover song. Even Munky from KoRn says he wishes they didn't release Word Up.

As someone who grew up in the 90s and listened to Nu Metal (and still do) Sick New World was amazing last year, and it was amazing to see thousands of other people my age listening to the music that I got made fun of a lot for liking. I also want to say thanks for including Guano Apes! They are one of my favorite bands of all time.

I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s listening to rap, hip hop, alternative and metal music. My first CD was Paul’s Boutique by the Beastie Boys. I was also into Ice T, Run DMC and Faith No More. For me Angel Dust was a revelation, just as Incubus’ SCIENCE was years later. In my late teens I taught myself guitar and when I was at university in the mid 90’s I joined a band. They were mainly into grunge and alternative. With there alternative and punk leanings I added rap and metal and we wrote an album of music in several months. We combined rap, punk, grunge, alternative, metal, rock, lounge, blues, soft rock and funk to create something fairly new at the time. My personal influences at that time were The Doors, Faith No More, Ice T, Cypress Hill, Das Efx, NWA, Eazy E, Primus, Incubus and even U2. Really good times. Much better than the crap that’s peddled on the charts today.

Another banger I should say. I have to admit that I paused the video a ton of times to listen to some songs- mainly Public enemy, Body Count, Faith No More and Sepultura's ones I should mention- , and though I completely missed the Nu metal wave, maybe because I'm 50 years old and from a non English speaking country, I absolutely love your approach. Oh I almost forgot to mention that the Nova Twins and their kind of meta modernism slap in my humble opinion, and they are certainly not alone as you perfectly mentioned . Cheers

I think Nu-Metal is more Metal than Metal Elitists and Traditionalists think it is. Rock Musics roots come from American Deep South Bluegrass music of the early African Americans. But Metal’s roots come from Ethnic Tribal music from Africa and South America. Metal is about that primal urge to groove to the beat of the music. And it’s that primal urge to groove to the music is what the Groove Metal and later Nu-Metal/Rap Metal bands in the 90’s wanted to revisit. As in the 80’s Metal was becoming technical and more about the musicianship which in turn Metal started to be influenced by Classical music in the 80’s. But Metal’s roots is of Ethnic Tribal music of grooving to the beat of the sounds. So Nu-Metal is far more Traditional Metal than people think it is.

I'm with you. Firestarter and Breathe (and sometimes Poison but that was off Jilted Generation) were the only dance music tracks that were also playing in the metal clubs when I was a teenager. They were my first exposure to the fact you could have keyboards and samples and still have a metal sound and a Pridigy show is the only place where you will see the old school ravers and the metalheads hanging out together.

So happy with all the bands mentioned here, you have done better job at documenting nu metal than anyone else on YT. I grew up in the era, and have a lot of love for many of these bands, but weirdly my favorite bands are the ones that kind of "associate" with nu metal but are not exactly. 311, Incubus, Deftones and Slipknot have been mainstays through the years for me. But even Slipknot and Deftones go beyond nu metal enough that it doesn't seem to describe their sound well enough. I end up always loving those bands the most who defy genre labels, like also Faith No More and Jane's Addiction.
