I was gonna link that P.O.D song that got played for an entire god drat summer+ with the line "instead'a takin a test, i took 2 in the chest." So i googled "P.O.D singles" and there is no way i'm wading through all that poo poo for y'all. There's no way P.O.D had that many singles.

I think if I would have known more about industrial metal I wouldn't have listed to nu-metal nearly as much as I did. I should have talked more to the kid who listened to KMFDM.

For me the archetype of the nu metal song is linkin park's "in the end" (had to google the title, it's the "I TRIED SO HARD AND GOT SO FAR, BUT IN THE END IT DIDN'T EVEN MATTER" one). Ugh.

P.O.D. is touring now apparently. Our local rock station was giving away tickets this past week. Also, the frontman from Trapt is a maga chud who was getting into Twitter slapfights some recent time ago. Sounds about right.

No, Alien Ant Farm had "Movies" as a follow up to Smooth Criminal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ2t4jfVTiU They weren't exactly a nu-metal band but more of a Sum 41 clone.

They also had one other song on that album with "Alive" and before that had "Rock the Party", but today are mostly known for a wrestling theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeYdMWiA46Q

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Thank you, this was a great video! Subscribed. Todd in the shadows is a pro sub for youtube. He has provided a lot of material for these threads. In the same vein, Trash Theory has a lot of great videos on music, its a bit more educational than Todd though, and mostly focuses on British stuff, but if you wanted to learn about MIA or Gorillaz he's got great videos on both of them. Todays vid is about Evanessance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU9PP240Qjc Kinda interesting, especially how the record companies kept trying to jerk them around and force them into rap metal. Though i realized that they remind me of early 2000s anime music, but then I wonder if the animes were imitating them. Also I realized the infamous fanfic My Immortal is referencing their song  SweetMercifulCrap! posted:I've always associated nu metal with the white trash kids. I remember everyone in my high school in the early 00's kind of put up with it because people still listened to the radio back then and it filled alternative stations, but it was the obviously trashy kids that were super into it. Today it somehow still persists as the default music for trashy redneck dudes driving lifted trucks. When i worked for HMV in the early 2000s yea, the only people who bought that kind of stuff were mostly white trash kids, who i guess are the same as the kids who liked fire and knives? Though this is also during the rise in popularity of indie rock so it was getting a bit better. And yea, there is a reason Trapt came out as giant chuds and got dunked on by everyone for no one coming to their pandemic shows. Milo and POTUS posted:lol Lindsey Ellis has a good video on this subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehbgAGlrVKE Like yea, there were a good number of punk bands and rappers that did make Bush protest music, BUT the idea was that protest music was going to be the form of music like it was during the 60s. That songs about how bad war was were going to dominate the charts, that young people would pick up guitars and start an entirely new youth movement against the war through their music. Lol no. If anything, pro war music became what was popular. If you dared suggest that maybe the US shouldn't bomb Iraq, you were basically throwing up into the liberty bell then taking a poo poo on the Betsy Ross flag and then wiping your rear end with the constitution. Protest Music was limited to the edge, and getting salty that some crust punk bands song didn't get mention is just silly. SweetMercifulCrap! posted:
I think most of those people moved onto black metal? Bands with names that look like a bundle of sticks. I remember a coworker going to a GHOST show and he remarked how many Korn and Limp Bizkit shirts he saw there.

So i googled "P.O.D singles" and there is no way i'm wading through all that poo poo for y'all. I mean as long as a band exists they'll release "singles", that doesn't necessarily mean they're popular. P.O.D. has had a lot of odd turns, I still kinda like them despite themselves, though I'm pretty much done expecting any good new stuff. They had 2 albums that got really big, and "Youth of the Nation" hit at just the right time really -- because it was basically about Columbine, but it sort of became about 9/11 too (the album's release date). The guitarist left after that album so they got another guy and made an album that didn't do well at all (it has their Matrix Reloaded song on it). The album after that did sort of okay -- it also featured a guest vocal from Katy Hudson, AKA Katy Perry. (3:24 in this video - https://youtu.be/plGETDmXw5g?t=204) Then the original guitarist came back and they kind of almost tried to turn into more of a reggae vibey jam rock band, but they bailed on that and went back to a harder sound. They also tried out the odd move of dropping F-bombs on a song that was also very explicitly about Jesus, but essentially nobody let them, so they ended up being very awkwardly censored out. And then they did some kind of really awful concept album and other stuff that mainly just exists as tour promotion fodder. Sir Lemming has a new favorite as of 02:16 on Jul 24, 2021 |

 Edsel Dope, of nu-metal band Dope. Also, Alien Ant Farm's album truANT was some solid and catchy pop alt rock. I still throw it on once or twice a year.

This dude reminds me that a lot of the nu-metal bands themselves were made up of pretty old guys who'd been chugging away in rock bands for like a decade at least before tuning to Drop-D and pleating your beard so you can get on the soundtrack of a WWE video game was an option. Not only that, you had bands like Machine Head, Fear Factory and even Slayer drop a nu metal album because metal itself was kind of in the doldrums. Maybe it's because it was my entry point when I first became aware music existed beyond background noise (I moved on VERY quickly, I swear!) but Nu Metal fascinates me as a cultural moment.

Ugh. Linkin park was pretty close to the zenith of the genre too. I'd rather listen to them than the aforementioned Trapt. I also have a huge soft spot for collision course but then again I like mashups in general

nu metal got a LOT of push from record companies trying to mine out what looked like the last big wave of popular rock music, so like a lot of rock genres most of it is really forgettable filler with a few decent bands mixed in. the nu metal aesthetic though was flamboyantly trashy and clownish, trying to mix a grunge-like disaffection with being really, really sure everyone knows how little we care about what you think of us, really. after that, rock didn't die, but there wasn't that kind of massive radio push anymore as radio itself just got dominated by hip hop. classic rock gets more play than contemporary rock. personally i think ipods are more to blame for the lack of rock's cultural visibility, but you still had standout moments like midwestern neo blues rock (black keys, white stripes) or big city hipster indie rock (the jets, yeah yeah yeahs, tons of other bands who had one or two solid albums and then nada)

It's interesting how nu-metal started out very much trying to present itself as being allied with hip-hop, but before long that kind of disappeared and it was a very white genre again. I think because of its beginnings it still kept an above-average-sized leftover contingent of faithful nonwhite fans, but the artists themselves stopped reflecting that as much, and musically those elements kind of disappeared. Korn, POD, and Linkin Park tried to keep it going to an extent, but other than that, there wasn't much crossover. Sir Lemming has a new favorite as of 01:37 on Jul 25, 2021 |

Music sales peaked in the year 2000 and fell dramatically every year after until recently. I'm sure piracy is somewhat to blame for that, but I always wondered if it impacted certain genres earlier than others. By 2001 the demographic most likely to pirate music were young white males

This is a shot in the dark but this seems a good place to ask. I've been trying to find an old music video I must have seen 2000-2002. The main scene I remember is one of the guys in the video (band member?) got stuck on a giant spider web and got wrapped up then something broke open the web and colorful butterflies flew out (orange, yellow, purple is what I remember). The whole video had a very grey/bluish hue and was in a dark forest/swamp? I think there was a car, but hopefully that spider web part helps.
