I never understood Primus. In recent years I've come to appreciate Les' bass playing and the absurd dissonance, but it still mostly sounds like a joke band to me.

That's because it is a joke band.

I like this whole album a lot and I listened to it an insane amount in the 1990's (it was stuck in my car's tape deck for a year when I was a sophomore in high school). I still listen to it now.

also in the middle of the 90's David Bowie made what I think is one of the best albums of his career, 1.Outside. This particular tune has some amazing piano played by Mike Garson (most famous for his solo in a much earlier Bowie hit, Aladdin Sane)

Bill Laswell was a very busy guy in the 90's, and most of what he made was not any kind of rock music. But Praxis was a great rock project he put together including Buckethead, Bootsie Coolins, Bernie Worrell, and Brain. Mixed results but there are some real good songs including this anthem from 92 (don't worry it turns into a rock song after the organ solo):

and here's a nice little tune from up in Canada:

Before it was called "emo", we didn't actually have a name for it. Dark Gothic Industrial maybe? I dunno

what are you even talking about? emo and gothic/industrial have practically nothing to do with each other, emo was around prior to the 90's, and stabbing westward had nothing to do with emo, they were basically NIN imitators.

listen to the Appleseed Cast song that I posted earlier for a good example of typical mid/late 90's midwestern emo, you will hear it is not gothic or industrial at all. but in any case the style had been around for quite some time before that and already gone through some mutations.

Was it nu metal or post-grunge (by which I mean Nickelback, Creed et al.) that killed off rock music as a mainstream genre, though?

uh. what? Rock music is absolutely still a mainstream genre, it's about as mainstream as a genre can possibly get. Turn on a tv and watch the first three random commercials that come on, chances are one of them will have rock music in it.
