What is Nu-Metal?
I've heard it simply described as buttrock from the late 90s to the mid 2000s, but it doesn't seem to have any concrete traits that I can pin down.
>>61303110
rap-like vocals, metalcore-like punk instrumentation
>>61303126
So, Rage is nu-metal?
funky metal played in drop-d tuning with edgy lyrics
>>61303141
They predate nu-metal. I guess you could call them proto-nu-metal.
>>61303147
that's dope ass avant garde new metal, not nu-metal
>pseudo rapping verses
>shitmetal chorus
>7 string guitars in Drop-Whatever
>Random DJ friend joins the band
>Sing about your false mental illnesses
>>61303159
they were called crossover. crossover made brutal became numetal. numetal was the brostep of the 90s.
also, buttrock is more of a term for post-grunge and generic hard rock, nu-metal is too varied
this sums it up

>Bank jobs, violence & that first album
Where the flying fuck do bank jobs come into this?

The way most people use the term it encompasses Tool, Korn, Limp Bizkit, and basically ended around Deftones, SOAD, and Slipknot. Everything after that (on the pop level) was more like "metalcore" or "Djent" or whatever.
Characteristically it's metal that's overtly emotional, pop savvy, and dynamic (Nirvana-much?) with pretensions of "artistry" (example Disturbed - Stupify whose bridge is inexplicably a fucking Muezzin call with appropriate middle eastern instrumentation).
What not enough people talk about is that it applies metal chops to tight popwise song structures, which is a theoretically good idea.
tfw i still jam out to deftones
Another thing, how old are you anon?
>>61303197
>see this
>remember Static X
>loved them when I was like 14/15
>find out now that Wayne Static died a few days before my 20th birthday
actually feel pretty sad. Music for this feel?
>>61303384
you write like an Allmusic reviewer
>>61303384
deftones existed before all of them, it even predates ratm, i think
>>61303308
>bank job
wat
Why do people shit on Nu-Metal so much? Legit curious
>>61303402
I SLOW IT DOWN
I SLOW IT
DOWN
DOWN
DOWN
DOWN
>>61303491
because it's not kvlt
>>61303503
n0t troo kvlt en0f?
>>61303400
Deftones are the one nu-metal band it's acceptable to like. It helps that they've put out some great albums (White Pony, Saturday Night Wrist, Diamond Eyes)
>>61303516
pretty much
>>61303528
>people actually believe that.
>>61303491
too popish, too trivial and fucking awful fanbase
>>61303528
slipknot could have been better if they didn't take it in a pop direction after this
>>61303402
Static X for that feel
>>61303491
>generic hard rock BUT WITH TURNTABLES AND RAPPING
gee i dunno
>>61303491
Millennials grew up inundated in it, it took all of the worst musical influences of the time and threw them together.
I remember just how bad it was in middle school and high school having to listen to this dreck, and it wasn't till my mid-teens that I somehow discovered actual decent music.
>>61303669
desu I thought nu-metal was the coolest shit in middle school
>>61303669
everyone knows it isn't that good, it's just fun music
>>61303705
this is something only plebs say
>>61303726
plebs also think the term "millennial" doesn't go back to people born in 1980
>>61303632
I'll do it. Thank you based Wayne for helping my teenage angst.
Nu-metal was basically made for two demographics:
>White trash kids
>White middle-class kids who wished they were
i still really enjoy gently and scissors by slipknot
>tfw nu-metal guilty pleasure
>>61304902
same
Only faggots and edgelords who never listened to the genre hate nu-metal. there's loads of great albums
Was this nu-metal?
>>61303110
>buttrock from the late 90s to the mid 2000s
That's Foo Fighters, STP and Nickelback.
Nu-metal is Korn, Linkin Park, and Limp Bizkit.
>>61303159
Okay what about RHCP?
>>61304902
i like SOAD somewhat, although i only occasionally listen to them
and some older linkin park stuff... mostly for nostalgic reasons i suppose... although i don't really listen to any of it anymore
>>61303308
I feel pretty bad for the Deftones, they'll always be group in with Nu-Metal despite having only 2 or 3 tracks with "rapping."
>>61303636
>>61303110
>>61303126
i once heard nu-metal described as a loose set of attributes to which no nu-metal band actually conforms to all said attributes, except sometimes in parody
for instance... SOAD conforms to the use of heavy-metal-ish guitars and (especially earlier on) a macabre stage presence and aesthetic... although they don't use any of the "rap-like" aesthetics... IE turntables and use only occasional rap-like vocals
>>61305168
they weren't really "metal" enough to be nu-metal.
>>61304791
>gently
better be the mfkr version because the one on iowa is trash
Such an embarrassing time. I was really into all of it in high school, wore shitty edgy band shirts and hoodies everyday and all that. I'm so embarrassed when I look back at how retarded I must have looked like to adults.
>>61305415
iktf
>tfw freshman year of high school wore baggy-ass jeans and hoodies all the time and thought I was hot shit
>>61304742
You are forgetting Mexicans. Probably because it was big in southern california or something.
>>61305445
Fucking JNCO's man, most retarded jeans ever created.
>>61305199
nu-metal isn't just rapping though, it's the style of the music too
>>61305479
I thought JNCO's were more associated with ravers than nu-metal
>>61305403
i like both
>>61305639
at least you acknowledge the original
>>61305664
Ill agree with you, original was better. What genre are Slipknot now?
>>61305534
I remember a lot of metalheads wearing them. Juggalos also wore them.
>>61305728
you mean like currently? i couldn't give a shit
heres some "nu" nu-metal

>>61304742
This was why I was never really into nu-metal, I did grow up white trash since I was poor, but I thought it was really juvenile music even while I was a juvenile.
It's whole image looked like straight up pandering to me, the faux-machismo didn't help either.
>>61305882
what does that mean? i'm not down with the kids
>>61305775
>Juggalos also wore them.
Michigan here. JNCO was almost exclusively worn by juggalos here.
Limp Bizkit made some patrician krautrock desu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2epv7pCTjO4
