bludngorevidal 03.08.22	hating on nu metal is so unhip rn, man
anode 03.08.22	How does nu metal hurt anything? It’s just a sub genre like every other one that no one has to listen to if they don’t want to. You think linkin park would’ve gone on to write some sophisticated death metal if these albums didn’t exist? Lol
JeremiahBullfrog 03.08.22	I love Nu and Glam Metal, think they both had their place in Metal's history and did a lot of good for the overall survival of Heavy Metal, neckbeards can hate all they want, Normies were never going to be won over by Black and Death Metal ffs.
DarkSideOfLucca 03.08.22	I dont think it was either, I think it just created a new sound for the time. It added to music history, but the reality is all other types of metal still existed during that time as well. I got into nu-metal back in the 90s and that was my gateway into thrash, death metal, prog, etc. Of course in the mid 2000s I turned and hated it like everyone else, but now that I'm older it's hard to really hate on it. I still jam nu-metal to this day.
DavidYowi 03.08.22	Nu metal owns. For better of worse the musical landscape of today would be a much different world
deathofasalesman 03.08.22	i think 1's influence goes beyond just nu-metal
JKing92 03.08.22	I love me some nu metal. Just because there were some not-so-good bands in the genre doesn't offset the greatness that it had (Korn, Deftones, System of a Down, etc). In fact, I've said this many times, but I'll take the genre's best bands over the "classic" metal that so many people have tried to tell me is better than nu metal (Maiden, Priest, et al) any day of the week. The quality of music doesn't depend on how fast you can solo, it's about whether or not the music is any damn good!
Kompys2000 03.08.22	If u average out every post-1980 attempt to innovate within the confines of mainstream guitar music, nu metal surely fares no worse than hair metal or post-grunge or pop punk
AlexKzillion 03.08.22	the majority of the people on this site prob would not be here if not for nu metal
DarkSideOfLucca 03.08.22	I am the majority and I can confirm this
Wildcardbitchesss 03.08.22	yeah bands like Korn and Linkin Park got a generation of kids into metal. I don’t listen to much of it anymore but nu-metal=good
wojodta 03.08.22	Nu-Metal gave us Limp Bizkit and so of course it helped musical history.
Deez 03.08.22	On of the worst sub genres to ever exists Both these albums where and still are Great tho
FR33L0RD 03.08.22	Very nice non-judgmental comments in this tread. I like that. My perso extreme music history is similar to DarkSideOfLuca story. Peace out. m/
Cimnele 03.08.22	that big drum fill in Deftones "Bored" is more important than any thrash tune
JKing92 03.08.22	The hi-hat work at the beginning of "Blind" is better than any New Wave of British Heavy Metal song
Relinquished 03.08.22	still the worst song the album it’s pretty good but goddamn the bands they influenced really did run with that idea to the ground
JKing92 03.08.22	Perhaps they did, but that doesn't mean that the intro doesn't send me into raptures in ways that Maiden and Priest never can.
Egarran 03.08.22	ARRR U READYYY
DominionMM1 03.08.22	the genre obviously peaked with coal chambers big truck
Storm In A Teacup 03.08.22	Twist twist...twist!
Storm In A Teacup 03.08.22	Bop it! Flick it! Twist it! Twist, twist!
Storm In A Teacup 03.08.22	Oh wha ah ah ah ah
Storm In A Teacup 03.08.22	When passions lost! For way to long! For way tooo looooOoOong fever inside the storm and theyre turn ing awayayaya
Storm In A Teacup 03.08.22	Nu metal and electronica helped pave the way for action movies like Matrix lololol duh! Nu metal is amazing! Mudvayne!
random 03.09.22	Thank you for this thread.
ArsMoriendi 03.09.22	SoaD's first album makes it all worth it
Storm In A Teacup 03.09.22	I think we all have one nu-metal album we could each pick that made the whole thing worth it. 😀
el_newg 03.09.22	why every post JKing makes be like "I got a cat the other day, its name is Muffin and Iron Maiden suck"
Grimlin 03.09.22	Super influential genre at this point, but it can get really boring if not done well. I personally love both these albums along with both their subsequent releases.
Koris 03.09.22	SoaD's first album makes it all worth it [2]
TheSpirit 03.09.22	Genuine question, but how would it have “hurt” musical history? It’s probably one the most important in terms of recruiting folks who eventually wander into enjoying extreme metal.
Koris 03.09.22	^that, and the fact that it redefined how 7 and 8-string guitars would be used in metal going forward
DominionMM1 03.09.22	maybe but i honestly believe that most extreme metal fans wouldve found their way to it by hook or by crook
JeetJeet 03.09.22	I'd keep nu-metal but I'd zap Korn out of existence
Koris 03.09.22	"maybe but i honestly believe that most extreme metal fans wouldve found their way to it by hook or by crook" Not when the majority of modern djent and metalcore bands rip off Hybrid-era Linkin Park in one way or another
foxblood 03.09.22	it was worth it for Limp Bizkit alone
naughtcturnal 03.09.22	Oooh ah-ah-ah-ah
Emim 03.09.22	"On of the worst sub genres to ever exists Both these albums where and still are Great tho" am I reading a youtube comment section rn
