Just because you don't like this genre, doesn't mean it's not metal.

Man, people shit on this genre a lot, but I've always found it to be surprisingly good. Could just be nostalgia talking, but I've always liked Nu-metal. Korn, Linkin Park, Static-X, Slipknot, Tallah... so many good bands, and then you get to the more obscure ones like Orgy, Otep, and Nothingface. There's a lot of good songs, even if you have to dig deep.

"It's not metal" Depends on the band, slipknot is definitely metal

imagine hating this genre lmao

No good bands? Seeded Crown, Tallah, DVSR, Headplate, Ill Nino, Reveille, Seo taiji, XIII, Wicked Playground, Juice, Superheist. Plus all the mainstream artists that everyone and their grandma know.

not one good band

Until this genre is on Metal Archives that site is false and not true

so glad this shit is coming back

metal pelado

Metal for pop fans and you know what? that's fine!

why does modern nu metal almost always depend so much on metalcore?

I wonder if nu metal just alternative metal with rapping in it?

The Nu Metal era was definitely one of those "you had to be there" things in order to understand how huge it was. I went to Ozzfest in 02 and 03 and the vibe in that era was incredible. People of all ages came out and the music just felt larger than life. Mainstream Metal hasn't come close to captivating that amount of people since. It was a magical time. It was cvlt.

Not a bad gateway to metal I guess

why tf "Karma" by Taylor Swift is tagged as nu metal?

metal genre for zoomers

I thought about it and after a while I realized that there is no such genre as nu metal. More precisely, this is the stage of the emergence of the modern bands in the second half of the 90s - early 00s, that played metal and gained popularity. For nu metal, drop D guitars and rap are not must-have things, because artists who moved away from the "old ideas" of metal combined this genre with funk, industrial, grunge and other genres, but such bands existed before famous Korn (Living Colours, Mr. Bungle / Faith No More, Jane's Addiction, Primus, Rage Against the Machine etc.). From now on, I prefer to call such bands alternative metal. Maybe someone would like to share their opinion on this matter. It will be interesting to know.

Thx for the childhood

The best.

nu metal is one of the most fun metal genres but i cannot get behind the fanbase - metal is so satanic *TERRACOTTA PIE, TERRACOTTA PIE*

Goated genre

last time I listened to nu metal i had a brain aneurism and fucking died. why would fred durst do this?

Imagine if it was called "nude metal"! Haha!

Nu metal gets too much hate cause it's associated with bands like Limp Bizkit. If you look hard enough you might find some really good songs and bands in this genre.

metal but its good

Nu Metal was the gateway for practically all of us who grew up in the 90s. Some of it has aged well, most of it has not.

nu metal aka poser metal

well fuck.ok so this is definitely not the metal subgenre i was looking for. tried getting into korn and deftones.... first few tracks on their early albums.they're okay,unique,, but not what i was looking for.couldnt get into it., too slow for my tastes, screams arent fatal enough,need more drums. how is this in the same genre as slipknot? is slipknot the only band with th or somethign. i just want some screams man i w i want those fast drums or whatever. what. genre. is. it. called. fuck what even is metal anymore this shit is confusingg

Actually only hated by 40 year olds fat mans, edgy adolescents who think they are "true metalheads" and hipsters.

overhated, metal purists will cry

nu metal sucks and isnt metal

To me, as a kid from the 90's and early 00's, nu metal, grunge and other adjacent genres sounded very 'modern' and unusual against the backdrop of older rock music. As if Queen, Guns 'n' Roses, Aerosmith, etc represented the music of a truly bygone era (even if it was only 10-20 years ago). Of course, now I know that nu metal and grunge had deep roots in the 80s, and this difference in perception is due to the fact that blues-based rock was popular for a long time, while the alternative rock and industrial rock scenes suddenly jumped ahead much later. And it becomes even more blurry when you consider the history of synthpop and EDM, drum-and-bass and so on. Still, it was quite unique time for kids inexperienced in music, as if experiencing a fracture between two different eras: older 'dad rock' times and new futuristic era with gloomier sounds and cyberpunk vibes of Fear Factory, Rammstein, Korn, etc. Have there ever been such drastic changes in mainstream (rock) aesthetics? Not sure.

Believe it or not, metal peaked here

linkin park, korn and deftones carried the entirety of numetal honestly

Check out the band Sepsiss. Maybe more alternative metal than nu metal, but interesting band.. https://youtu.be/ZXgRF8NqPeo

I guess I thought I'd see Nothingface in the artist list, couldn't find them but they are in the first page of Alternative Metal. Forgot how good they were.
