Did nu metal really kill off mainstream rock permanently?

No, """""indie"""""" pop did. Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers, 21 Pilots, etc.

Probably.

rock is just a limiting genre as far as soundscapes go
limited instrumentally and sound wise

You have pretty boy rock acts now just as u did with hair metal in the 80s

most "good rock" was never that popular

mainstream charts like good singers, well produced soundscapes and dope beats

Nu metal really isn't _that_ bad, is it?

>>64113314

It certainly killed the guitar solo, but that's not really a "mainstream" feature of rock in the first place.

anon are they savages?

Yes, but not alone, it had a little help from Post Grunge.

No, it was shitty vanilla indie that did it.

Is that man's head birthing from a lady's berginga?

even though those bands are watered down the hill I agree with you

best post but I disagree with the soundscape

indie > nu-metal > post-grunge

>>64113314
First the kids start with shitty nu metal and then they listen to trashy metal like avenged sevenfold, 5 finger death punch or sabaton. Im not a 80s worshipping metalhead but most of modern metal is crap.

>most modern metal is crap

Fuck me, have none of you people listened to Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Whitechapel, new Slayer etc? That's some top quality metal, you just aren't looking hard enough

That is some really weak trolling, my friend.
