- What killed nu-metal? After Korn, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot put it on the map in the 90s, it peaked in 2001 or so before falling off in 2003. So what happened??
- Why Korn's debut album in 1994 changed EVERYTHING and became the template for nu-metal bands
- How the grunge bands like Nirvana and Alice in Chains, alternative metal bands like Rollins Band, Helmet, and Rage Against The Machine, and rappers like Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg laid the foundation for Korn to create nu metal
- Why snobs, critics and gatekeepers have always hated nu metal and looked down on the fans
- The various flavors of nu metal (eg rap metal, industrial nu metal) and bands like Dope, Coal Chamber, Hed Pe, Mushroomhead, Snot, POD, Flaw, Cold, and "nu-adjacent" bands like System Of A Down, Linkin Park, Incubus and Deftones
- What ultimately lead to the downfall of nu-metal, and why it was replaced by metalcore bands like Killswitch Engage, emo bands like The Used and hard rock bands like Five Finger Death Punch
- How nu-metal influenced the current generation of metalcore, deathcore and rock bands like Suicide Silence, Of Mice & Men, Emmure, King 810, and Sylar

I'm a 48 year old black woman. And I still love Nu-metal.
That’s awesome!
Ok
❤️❤️❤️
Sexy. thanks for the African diaspora for Metal, Blues, Punk, and Black Metal. Howling Jay song "Put a spell on you".
Me too. Except white and a guy.
Mom raised me on slayer, dad raised me on wu-tang. For a teenage me in the early 2000's nu-metal was a god send.
I still fucks with all those nu metal albums that came out in the 90/2000s. Fuckin slipknot 99 album, that first rage against the machine album, limp bizkit 3$ bill yall. Korn. Deftones around the fur. Fuck that shits still tight lol
Bro I still listen to slayer, especially because they have a new album out and it's still brutal as hell and sends a message
Shit rage dropped their debut album before wu tang or biggie or nas did so really good rap rock was available before hip hop had hit its stride in the 90s
Johnathan Jaco those are all in my all time favorites nu metal was awesome
Holy shit you have cool parents.
I never cared what's cool or not. I'm 30 now and I still listen to Deftones, Limp Bizkit, Linking Park, Disturbed, Korn and SOAD. They are baked into my DNA by now 😅
exactly. and caring to be cool is contradict the whole idea of metal genre, so thats that.
Same, I'm 32 and still listen to them. My mom listens to them to and she's almost 60.
“Linking park” 🤣

Nu Metal doesn't get enough credit. I'll never stop embracing this genre!!!
I don't give a damn what any critic says, I listen to what I like. And I'm still listening to Nu-Metal.
You're not supposed to. Listen to what you like, they will listen to what they like and the world keeps turning. They're not trying to tell you not to be a fan if you are one.
Karl Benedict it’s not dead lol, I agree with u
Here here
lol ew ok
FUCK YEA MAN
I love nu metal. Kind of sucks knowing most people hate or laugh at what you love, but it makes me happy so I'll continue listening to it lol
dont worry about them they like it anyways
Respect
There's way, way worse stuff to listen to than Nu Metal lol. Don't feel bad bro. At least you're not a Cardi B fan (not that we should spit bile at them either, live and let live).
@@thoughtfuldevil6069 exactly slipknot korn and the newest band jinjer could enter the conversation and outclassed alot of other style of music !
Nu metal is not dead ! No genre really is ! Guess the titles are clickbait.
Korn developed there own sound and all these other bands followed . Hence their album" follow the leader " they were the leaders and always will be. Jonathan Davis let all of his anger and aggression out In his songs and it was set apart . He is an amazing vocalist and Korn is amazing .
🎯 and i don’t remember any band of significance using 7string guitars. Korn started that
I agree I wasn’t big into Korean but I saw them @ Aftershock 2016 and they were so cool! 2nd best set of the whole fest imho which surprised me
Well, Steve Vai was quite significant himself, don't you think? :)
@@MMm-kr2zi I don't even know who that is. Never heard his name before so not significant to me bud.
@@younggrasshopper3531 if only you seen them in 1994 . Check out their videos on UA-cam . Their video fa$$ot is unbelievable. It was in 94 and it's truly amazing . It's real fuzzy and statically looking due to the old camera but only adds to the intensity . Jonathan Davis and his energy is felt through the tiny screen of the phone , it's truly amazing . The entire bands energy is contagious , the way they jump around and the way they hold their guitars truly sets them apart as the leaders of their type of music . Their sound will forever be distinct and forever favored in my opinion . Truly something special , they sound incredible . I'm going to have to go watch the video right now .
I think a huge contribution to the fall was them changing. I love and still loved old korn/slipknot. The new music they put out just isn't the same. It went more mainstream. When you go to a show today they still mostly play old stuff.
I agree, some found God and/or got sober and good for them but it definitely changed their sound and lyrics. Mellowed them out quite a bit.
@@abigailloar956 I agree....age and purging the demons....I mean, most people can't keep up the angry, emotional, snarky music when you find happiness. True music comes from within and if its not there its hard to fake.
Korn is still unstoppable. Slipknot continues to sell out concerts.
Dude, this guy's name is "punk rock". Talk about a music style dying out... Or selling out, like every Punk band ever.
Saw Korn last Friday. Still kicks serious ass. Seeing knotfest this Friday expecting an even bigger ass kicking 🤘
@Grubby bum
I think you should watch Finn's video on why rock is losing to rap. You'd learn a lot.
@@tytomasoski238 Thanks off the suggestion, I'm watching it now.
And this guy does not understand what selling-out means, at all. It's got nothing to do with how popular they become. I mean look at Tool, one of the most respected bands in the world, now imagine Tool singing a poppy song about "America" Infront of a giant green flag...
That's what selling out is.
KORN is too, too CORNY!!!
And now Korn and Slipknot have just released two of the biggest records of the year.
AND TOOL.
And they all suck!
Notneb Airevilo nah Slipknots new album is fire
Huh? Are you talking to me?
Notneb?
I’m a 38 Hispanic male, I loved the top Nu-Metal bands listed when I first heard them, and I still listen to them today. I have seen Korn in concert more than any other band, and I bought tickets to see Slipknot for the 2nd time this year. I may be a minority, plus, I had never heard of any of the bands you listed at the end. But, overall, great and accurate analysis.
Very intersting video.
I'm from France, and I was 14 yeas old in 1996.
We also had this Nu-Metal tsunami in Europe, and this was the best time of my life!
Between 1996 & 2000 with bands like Korn, Coal Chamber, Deftones, SOAD, My Ruin, Kittie... we definitely had our own bands! No need to deal with the old metal bands of our older brothers and sisters. New sound, new clothes, that was GREAT and that was our generation!!!
Plus also no internet like today at this time, no free downloads, no youtube! When we bought a tape or a cd, we absolutely had to love it, even if it was bad, hahaha!
Today, as I'm writing this comment, I'm 40 years old, and I still listen to all these bands, I still wear Deftones shirt, and I still have a Coal Chamber bag.
Thank you for this video.
Even though I'm in my 20s I still miss the 90s-00s music, basically most music sounded way better than today's trash it wasn't so commercialised made to sell rather than passion. When I was a tenn in late 00s-early 10s there was so many alternative people that didn't dress the same, nowadays everyone seems to look the same and almost act the same. I miss the times where people were angry and pissed off at the government's around the world.
My favourite band will always be system of a down, I wish they could have worked out their beef with each other.
Same here....
actually, I was a hip hop kid. It was some friends I used to hang out with who got me into Metal in general because of bands like Korn, LB, ILL Niño, Deftones, and Soil.
Then I found bands like Gojira, Dagoba, and Meshuggah. Seeing these bands live was the ultimate experience as well. They inspired me to pick up a guitar and learn. I'm thankful for my musical journey.
@@benclimo461 I think you're getting a distorted view through the eyes of nostalgia.... These bands were HEAVILY commercialized to sell. It was no different than the hair metal or post-grunge stuff, nor the boy bands, pop punk or emo acts or any other super popular trend. Claiming all the nu metal bands were solely about originality and genuine passion is a HUGE stretch to say the least. There were very few actually original acts. Most of them were just clones from one type of band or another, much like Finn showed in the video. Seriously, what makes Breaking Benjamin so unique compared to Three Days Grace, or POD to Saliva? The majority of those bands all played from the same formula one way or another. For every Korn, there were a few dozens Korn derivatives. They all copied the same style of music, same lyrics, same clothes/hair/makeup/costume, same stage antics, etc. I agree it's a lot better than the trash in heavy rotation nowadays, but don't pretend it wasn't all about the money and getting exposure back then just like it is now.
I was in Lyon for fete de la music in 2002 and I was blown away by how many quality new metal bands were playing face melting music on the streets. I was not expecting that.
Facts...in the 80s I listened to gangster rap, and metal...In the 90s when NuMetal hit....all I could say was "FINALLY!"
As a teenager Korn was a life saver, to hear Clown and connect with it and not feel alone was something that still resonates with me today
Literally
Yes!!
Honestly
You're only a real fan of Korn if you starting crying in Twist's intro.
Currently cracking myself up because he said, "When Korn popped.."
I giggled too
Spencerthepoet Popkorn. I used to like Korn back when I was a freshman in high school before I knew what thrash was a year later.
Sevendust is always consistent, one of the hardest working bands in the industry.
yeah those guys are badass always were always will be
Absolute fact
@finnmckenty do you have any Sevendust interviews or coverage of their long career where they've never been huge, but maintained a diehard 700-1k level of fanbase that never misses a show when they come around.
My dad is a pilot and he met them once on a plane. Very polite, very chill. Didn't demand rockstar treatment or bother anyone. That's not true of a lot of bands. I respect that they don't have giant egos and seem to just see themselves as normal people.
@@morganqorishchi8181 Sounds like the 7D I love and respect, since they do the same for others.
Nu Metal still hasnt died just the majority of present People's taste in music has died
True people now mostly listen to trap and songs that do induce drugs and violence and glorify it but still accuse metal of that?
Too angry for grunge too emo for metal and not urban enough for rap...
Perfect description
Dig by mudvayne is a perfect example of what these group of people needed back then, song starts like something is going to explode in a very angry mind and then growls "yeeaaaahh" while downtuned heavy riffs are playing with pure anger.
Like ur name man. ;) 🤘🏼🖤
And Slipknot doesn't fit that description at all.

You know the Korn has popped when your nu-metal microwave goes br br deng
Exact thought verbatim went through my head. 😄
I will always love nu metal, and I wish it was still as popular as it used to be. I grew up with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, SOAD, RATM, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Evanescence, Mudvayne, Sevendust, Static X. I wish there was a new generation of nu metal bands, but I still listen to these bands on a regular basis, especially when I go running, and I still buy new Korn and slipknot and Disturbed albums when they come out. First concerts I went to were summer sanitarium tour in 2003 with Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Metallica and Mudvayne, and Ozzfest 2003 with Korn and Disturbed and I just saw Korn, Evanescence, and RATM this summer and they were still incredible! I listen to many different genres of music, but these bands will always be my favorite to see live and nu metal will always be my favorite subgenre of rock!
I think nu metal bands like Grade 8, Motograter, Twisted Method, and others could’ve became popular if their debut albums came out before 2003. FFDP wouldn’t probably exist because Ivan would still be in Motograter!
I'm with you Bro!
Try hed pe. Start with the greatest Hits album Theyre amazing
Deftones were not 'corny'. Amazing band
Not a chance.. They were soo cool on other peoples albums songs
But they were rightfully mainstream HATED with the WHite Pony sappysap.
Reminds of a less mainstream Staind...
Yeah i can say i hate em.
👹
Lol sum nerd music 😆
ik your comment is from a year ago but it seems like Deftones are coming back w/ Gen Z and Gen Alpha, System of a Down and Korn too
@@sativaplathit is because of tiktok
"...an entire generation of kids all over the world were getting into heavy music via nu metal..." This. If it wasn't for nu metal, I have no idea what kind of music I'd be listening to because I discovered these bands at the right time it literally shaped my musical taste for the last 20 years.
Ow true man, seems we are really in the same line. I am with extreme underground metal now. Been 20 years.
Yeah people love to dunk on Nu-Metal but I feel like most metal fans under the age of thirty got into metal either through Korn or Slipknot.
God, I feel old. I became a "heavy" music listener in 1982...
same here
Yeah - that is unfortunate. A real sliding doors moment. Things could have been so different
Old does not mean dead. New does not mean best.....
WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND!
Can’t wait for Slipknot’s new album soon. *Long live the KNOT*
ITS GONNA BE A WHILE BEFORE I REALLY FEEL ALRIGHT!!!
Bought my tickets already
I'M TIRED OF BEING RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING I'VE SAID
YOUR'S DOES NOT MEAN MINE
KILL DOES NOT MEAN DIE
All Out Life!🤘☠️
Nu-Metal is the middle of the venn diagram of middle 90s music. The 90s was pretty crazy especially near the end. Basically popular music culture decided to either start merging genres or reviving old genres. I mean we had a freaking Swing revival in the middle of it.
Just saw Korn/Chevelle on April 1st. They all looked alive to me. The show was awesome and what's even cooler, my granddaughter is the one who suggested we go. She wanted tickets for her 19th birthday. I don't think she even had a clue how much I like Korn. Korn and Chevelle both sounded incredible. Now if I can just get my wife to go see Anthrax and Black Label Society in August here in Dallas, she has already baulked so it may take more persuasion.
Still a Child of the KoRn 💀
fajno
😂
YES !
Yup
Forever.
"Nu metal is dead"
Slipknot: *heavy breathing*
Don't forget koЯn
Give us a scream, Corey!
Old does not mean dead. Nu is not the best. We are not your kind.
With the *heavy breathing* I just imagined Corey getting ready to scream "GOODBYE"
@M.A.B I'll never kill myself to save my soooul
Snot is by far the best band to ever come of this metal era. We did not get nearly enough of them. If I was going to listen to anything from this era, it would be Snot, hands down. That album still holds up.
Love Snot. Those guys were killer. Sad we only got one album.
I love korn. I grew up with them, they are still one of my favorite bands. But I gotta say there was another band that I really enjoyed that didn't get as much attention. I can see why but to me they still hold a special place in my life, mudvayne. I see myself going back to their old albums over and over again especially L.D50.
Mudvayne were ace
Yes! Mudvayne were awesome in concert too.
Gotta love how Slipknot took the No.1 spot on the billboards with their new album this past Monday
Right, but they're dying out somehow... this guy's an idiot
Yeah agree. Anyone I've heard attend a live show in this tour cycle say Slipknot still killing it
Not only #1 on the US charts, they took #1 in multiple places all over the damn world. Headlining their own festival, headlined the iowa state fair, etc. etc. etc. Korn is back doing their thing just as successfully. Yea, lots of b/s here.
The Truth is only Perspective The genre as a whole is all but dead. Slipknot managed to stick around the way Deftones have. They aren’t just rehashing the stuff that made them big in the mid to late 90s.
Get back to me when you can tell me nu metal isn’t almost completely dead while also explaining to me why bands like Taproot, Trapt, Sevendust, ill niño, Chevelle, Drowning Pool, and hed pe aren’t still cranking out top 10 hits.
@@zachiswayposi1 Bruh.....I don't even know what to say to you. Pull your head out of your ass maybe? Sevendust is still killing it. Taproot/Trapt were part of the one hit wonders. Chevelle just headlined Rockville, new album, and tour cycle, hed pe/ill nino wasn't bands I listened to so I don't keep track of them. Dope is still going strong, DevilDriver is still kicking ass and they do Coal Chamber songs, they've reunited as Coal Chamber a few times but that's band issues not the music. Prophets of Rage have replaced Rage Against The Machine, Linkin Park sadly hasn't been able to continue due to Chester's suicide. Staind is still doing shows, Aaron Lewis has gone mostly country though, Disturbed is touring, Static-X is touring, Mushroomhead has always been around putting out good stuff. Drowning Pool died with the original vocalist. Fear Factory, Machinehead, Otep are all still going strong. The genre was never about cranking out top 10 hits, that's like asking Punk to crank out top 10 hits, maybe when they're popular in the mainstream but they aren't mainstream. I'd like to say in the mainstream Perspective Nu Metal is dead but it isn't entirely, in every other aspect? Still alive and well.
I still love nu metal. Never stopped enjoying it.
Same I’m spinning korns new record the nothing and and slipnot
Me neither!
Same!!
Me too!
Same here! :)
I've always felt Incubus was heavily underrated. Their albums ‘Make Yourself’ and ‘Morning View’ were huge. Even if they’re not totally “Nu Metal”.
One factor that probably contributed to Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish album sales was that it had the Mission Impossible 2 song (Take a look around). That was a huge deal.
Also, Linkin Park's first album (Hybrid Theory) was more or less a Nu Metal album. Their second one was a cross between Nu Metal, Hard Rock and other stuff.
As someone who grew up listening to Led Zeppelin with my dad, then eventually to Metallica, it was just a natural progression towards Korn.
I grew up with Metallica and Black Sabbath, so i had my nu metal moment too
Same man, nu metal was just another progression in the journey metal heads take. What made me drift away from nu metal was meeting a group of guys who took me to a Cannibal Corpse show. Seeing that sledgehammer rhythm and George’s fierce vocals with Webster’s wizardry on bass made me do a 180.
for me it was led zeppelin, then helmet, then korn
i fucking love nu-metal, and i'll never be ashamed to admit it lmao
Thas whats fucking up lol
Same
Ok
Same
Same 🤘🏼 to be honest I love all kinds of metal 💥🥁⚡
First time heard nu metal when I was a kid playing need for speed. From that moment I absolutely fell in love with static-x. Even today, being grown up who usually listens travis scott, tyler, the creator and so on, I like to come back to nu metal from time to time and don't feel cringey at all
This is a great video, and I absolutely love how this guy's sets Korn aside. They're definitely one of those special bands that you find in your life and it hits you right where you are. Took me until 26, but I'm so glad I found them.
as a 13 year old depressed and anxious kid, Slipknot's first album (the self-titled one) was basically my lifesaver. I never felt so understood by a band and could so identify with all the rage, anger and frustration in their music. Still to this day (20 years later) I think the first Slipknot album is absolutely brilliant and was my gateway into hardcore, punk and metal
yeah totally agreed
Same! To all of it!
Pushing 30 and totally agree!
Was song 9 purity? Or was it removed by that time
Dude, same. I was that depressed and angry kid from Ohio who loved slipknot, korn and mudvayne. At 29 years, I definitely still have that kid in me. Though not as angry lol.
"Nu metal is dead"
Slipknot: Hold my beer.
Slipknot stopped being NU since IOWA..... I'm so tired of that stupid label!
I love Slipknot but people keep putting them with korn! Korn and Slipknot sound NOTHING alike!
@@Slipknotiowa-gz8lp Korn and Slipknot has different styles but they are still Nu-Metal. That's like saying Slayer stopped being Thrash Metal since Divine Intervention and that Anthrax and Slayer sound different. They are still Thrash Metal even if they have different styles and sounds.
@@fedora997 I understand what you are saying but......Corey even said that they are not nu anymore! Just listen to there (1999) album and there new one! Just get over it! They stopped doing that "NU" sound a long time ago! That example you gave me about Slayer is completely different than what I'm saying! Just hear the song difference between: Spit It Out, and Solway Firth!
@@Slipknotiowa-gz8lp Holy shit my dude calm down, yea they may not be under the nu metal threshold anymore but that's where they were born and comparing Solway Firth and Spit it Out is like comparing a Peach and a fucking Blackberry. The point we are all here trying to make is saying that the genre of METAL (not just Nu metal) is alive and well and this year proves it rap is the genre that is dying
i was born in 95, korn and slipknot were definitely my gateway bands to metal, i grew up watching mtv and their videos popped up sometimes. korn was the first band i loved with weirder sounds and slipknot the first with actually heavy songs, and masks haha being the 'first of a kind' to kids in the 2000s, the last time 10 year old kids were deciding their music taste based mostly on mtv and not the internet, it's undeniable they're a part of us that are now in our 20s, 30s. this video was nostalgic af
As a teen Linkin Park was my go to. I really believe that I wouldn't be here without them.
Same here. I will always love them
same, ill always love them for helping me
Love how Slipknot and Korn came out with albums this week. Still feelin' the nu-metal vibe.
@Peter Kazavis is that an attempt at an insult?
You're not alone. Korn and Slipknot fricken rock.
@Peter kazavis, yeah imagine people getting triggered because others enjoy something they don't, douche bags
Slipknot and korn have evolved...and i dnt think slipknot was ever nu metal anyways
@@graphix6529 yeah you're exactly right. They have tried to distance themselves from Nu metal. They really don't make that kind of music.
Limp Bizkit literally changed my life and opened my eyes to a whole new kind of music. I would have never gotten into heavy music without them.
ua-cam.com/video/MrJl1Pskxvs/v-deo.html
Yeah for me it was the opposite it nearly turned me away from both metal and rap thank god for Mobb deep and Pantera though
@@arisanagno0024 facts limp bizkit is dogshit lol
Same for me. I liked rap. And because of linkin park and limp bizkit, I listen to metal for like 15 years now
Me too. Chocholate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavoured Water hit me like a train when I was 13 and at 34 I still love the band and the genre.
I think Faith No More had a big influence on nu-metal. Timing was right, ”angel dust” dropped couple of years before nu-metal came. Then there’s bands like Senser and Orange 9mm, but they were never that big. RHCP’s white funk and overall crazzzy characters definitely made a lot of kids grow dreadlocks.
Faith no more was so cool. I loved that style
Nu Metal was cool. Still is. It wasn’t corny at all, around here if you didn’t listen to Bizkit, Korn, Deftones, Slipknot etc, shred a skateboard, spray paint, and get high, you werernt cool at all. You’re the best, Fin. I can watch these all day long! 🤘🏻
As a hip hop head i remember getting into Korn, POD, System of a Down, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. Woodstock 99 was epic lol
Burning down the entire concert. I was only 13 but I sure wish I could have been there!
Limp Bizkit riots were mostly peaceful riots
Nonpoint too
noooooooo dont call soad nu metal soad isnt nu metal im gonna cry
@@jvbble System of a Down was nu metal
I'm from Bakersfield, Korn's hometown, and EVERYONE here listens to Korn. Rap heads, elderly folks, preppy girls we all listen to Korn.
Good
ChrisSchroederMUSIC hell yeah
I'm not even a Korn fan, but this makes me happy. Just the fact that something like music can break social boundaries like that is a cool thing in my opinion.
My uncle is from there!! Lol. Nu-Metal scene is a broader group of mistfits but fit a similar profile as Juggalos. Lots of overlapping with fans.
Bakersfield sounds fun
Korns first 4 albums will forever be in my heart. I grew out of it as I got older but I will always listen to the first 2 Korn albums because those help me get through the hardest years of my life 97-99
I'm a Korn fan since Issues came out. I was around 14 at that time. This June i saw Korn live the first time. I don't know why but i just missed all the shows over the years.
But this show was so freaking insane. One of the best concerts i have seen. No chance to pull me out of the pit.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KILLED NU METAL WAS THE FAN BASE JUDGING ALL THE NEWBIES. YOU COULDNT BUY A SLIPKNOT SHIRT WITHOUT THEM ASKING YOU THEIR PURITY TESTS
Yeah, gatekeeping in a group that was meant to rebel against the gatekeepers. SMH
PURITY
tbf it happens to metal genre in general. id say its how popular it got and like the video said, the gimmick and fusion of genres just seem shallow. but i still love the genre for what its worth since its part of my childhood
Lol oh you mean when purity was taken off the one album and changed with "me inside" I forgot about that shit
Lmao nu-metal posers trying to gatekeep is the funniest shit I've heard all day
Nu-metal was fun and full of energy. Also, Slipknot and Korn still sell out huge concerts.
Especially slipknot. Every show they play is an arena. I don't even consider them nu metal.
@RPT Enterprise That's your opinion. I think it was awesome.
@RPT Enterprise Yikes, "screamo." It is just metal screams bro, there is no screamo genre.
@@thechitownclown8972 they don't always play in arena's. I seen them play at Aftershock festival. Which wasn't in an arena
@@thechitownclown8972 I think Corey tailor is the only reason slipknot still breaths
This was the last decade that music was at its musical peak. All genres was welcomed. Look up top twenty albums in the magazine’s back then , it was always filled with so many different styles. Love the 90s.
Very true. Nirvana broke mainstream radio, and it remained more open to different genres for the next 10-15 years. Now it's literally 99% the same music, with an occasional surprise here and there.
I was born around the fall of the genre 12 years later I found out who Metallica was and it sent me down a rabbit hole where I eventually found nu metal and it’s still one of my favorite genres.
Slipknot has a number one album in numerous territories right now
But the thing is, Slipknot stopped being NU since IOWA.......I don't understand why they are put with NU-Metal! Slipknot and Limb biscuit sound NOTHING alike.....
@@Slipknotiowa-gz8lp limb biscuit 🤣🤣 that autocorrect
I feel Slipknot was a nu-metal band just from their first album but the rest of their albums is just straight up pure metal
Iowa is pure nu metal
Their first three albums are definitely nu metal
Slipknot is great because they have elements of every style of extreme metal mashed together with elements of industrual and hip hop
@@thetranz13nt52 agree 💯
@@alexmohr1072 Iowa is the farthest albums from nu metal atleast slipknot's self titled album has a a handful of songs that has rapping which makes it nu metal but every other album from slipknot isn't Mu metal at all
35 years old and Korn - Freak on a Leash was my gateway into rock music. Loved the music video at first then slowly grew into the music. Slipknot was a sound I grew to love after Vol 3 but Iowa is my favorite of theirs. Going to my first Slipknot concert in a few week. In the pit of course.
I'm 50 and Nu-metal was something I was concerned with ... at first for about 5 minutes. I think it has more to do about *which* band and *which* songs. Korn was one of the first bands I remember who came on heavy and hard and sang about family dysfunction and isolation. Yes, Grunge did that (and so did some old school rock) but it was kind of like Grungelike lyrics but heavy. As for the music, it was simply different. But to say that they didn't have something meaningful to say - I think the gatekeepers had that wrong. These were angry kids. They *tried* the grunge approach and nobody listened. Conversely bands like LimpBizkit - if you took them at face value - were just fun (core-pop?)
i personally don't like nu metal but it's just not for me. more people need to realize that you can dislike something without attacking the people over it.
I hated nu metal back then when it was oversaturated, but I completely understand why it got popular in the first place.
Sometimes I actually wish I enjoyed it when I see how crazy Korn audiences can be.
As a nu metal fan I gonna say, You are good man , Respect 👊
People call me a homophobe just for not agreeing with their view however i respect their individual right as human beings
Simple thing that people aren't capable or don't want too.
@floppa Vevo folks really don't seem to get that these days
This video should be called “why I love Korn” lol
So interesting how this video is only a few years old, yet so much has changed. I definitely think nu metal has come back round to being cool these days
Born in 90, always been a 80s metal guy. But listened alot to nu metal when it exploded. Recently made a playlist only with nu metal and i must say. So much good stuff! Really fun to listen to it all again, makes me miss the good old days
When your a kid growing up in the early 90s riding bmx and skateboards and watching Xgames...your absolutely a nu metal child...
Growing in 00 and still adequate.
the hair bands and grunge was so much better and still thick in the early nineties.
Absolutely
I loved that era. It was like living in a movie
Oh hi Kyle.
So what your saying is Korn Blew up Nu Metal, but then it died because it became too Korny
Stop it. lol
You couldn't be more right
It is because they became Pop Korn
You're right, they became Korny and limper than Bizkit

Sarcasm: oh, look out! It's the Grammar Police
Love Korn and am a ardent Tool fan . Been playing guitar for over 30 years and Nu-Metal has had a big influence on my guitar playing. Love those dropped tuning riffs and chords .
I am 25 currently and have sort of started to love nu-metal pretty recently. It made me feel like I was having my puberty in reverse because I was so into this genre of music, especially limp bizkit. But I stopped explaining myself to people about why I really like bizkit or nu-metal because who cares? I like it and that's the only thing matters for me
"What kind of music do you listen to?"
"I'm pretty into Nu Adjacent Rock right now but I'm also down with Guys In Jumpsuit and/or Mask Bands too. Just depends on my mood"
Lmao
😂
INDUSTRIAL
Kornnnnnnnnnnn! i love nu metal and industrial
👌👈
KoRn is still going strong, they were much more serious and mature back when all the other bands were going off the rails crazy with lyrics and content.

They are legit a good band.
Oh yeah. ball tongue was Shakespeare.
Nu-metal is like any other genre, you have guys writing the music, and you guys who are basically covers bands.
Yes, The Nothing album was an absolute masterpiece.
Dude! Great video, loved seeing (hed) P.E. getting the shout out!
You got that transition between Nu Metal and heavier music perfectly. Exactly what happened to me: from KoRn to Haste the Day
Comparing 'Numb' by Linkin Park to 'Ball Tongue by Korn is like comparing 'Alone I break by Korn to 'With you' by Linkin Park. Linkin park were nu metal
Linkin Park might be the very first band that comes up in peoples mind when they hear nu metal
@AJ Soprano true. I mean, hybrid theory sold almost 30 mio times. Linkin park are THE defined nu metal band. Or were.
Their first two albums were 100% nu-metal. I agree it was a really ridiculous comparison.
Also how good is the song with you!
@@Revan-eb1wb limp bizkit are the definied nu metal band. Their nu metal style was died in 2007
@@jarumsuntik4099 and linkin park too
I still drive, workout, and do many things to KoRn, slipknot , limp biskit and many other bands. I still listen to my original “Family Values” tour 98 cd 🤷🏽♂️
Cat named Scamper I have the DVD!
Dude nu Metal fuckin SLAPS when you’re lifting weights
Idk who the fuck said Nu Metal died out, I think this guy made this for views.
I remember that CD, it was awesome
@@DarkVidenge Uhh no. The trend and popularity of Nu Metal is definitely dead. No idea what you're talking about.
Never stopped being a Nu-Metal fan. All my playlist on spotify run on Nu-Metal base. Im surprised sometimes that spotify still manages to find newer songs/artists that fit the genre quite well.
I grew up listening to all types of Metal subgenres, Hip Hop/Rap and Nu-Metal.
I still have fond memories of that music! 😀
Yep, I was a black kid who grew up on Korn, Staind, Deftones, Linkin Park, and of course Limp Bizkit. It was all about Nu-Metal/Alternative/Punk for me. White kids thought I was cool and black kids laughed at me. Very typical stuff. Korn and Deftones are still my favorite and Limp Bizkit is still my guilty pleasure. It was just perfect timing for those of us who loved hip hop and rock. I've never been to a rock concert but maybe one day.
I always loved going to shows when I was younger and seeing the 1 black kid there jamming out harder than any one else! Praise to you, brother!
Go to one. There dope af
i LOVE hip hop and rock to this day too!
I've seen deftones 5 times... if you get a chance... I promise you won't be dissappointed.
I was also that kid. And all these years later I'm still that guy.
I saw Korn and System of a Down on Saturday, it was an awesome show. Korn,System of a Down,Deftones,Slipknot and yes even Limp Bizkit are hands down the greatest Nu Metal bands.
Limp bizkets first album was more (actually) heavy metal (not like ozzy heavy metal, more like slipknot) nu-metal. The second album and later transitioned to nu-metal with heavy rap influences.
@@tylerhorn3712 you mean 3 dollar bill y'all was more extreme nu metal
@@atvena That's a fair description of their first album.

@@citedtarsier2439 thanks man, Bungle is the best
Nu metal was my high school years basically. I loved it. And I really miss the raw aggressiveness that you just don't find in today's mainstream music. And you're right, it's nuts how it's so rare to even hear guitar on mainstream radio today.
I was in Middle school when I was introduced to nu-metal through an estranged best-friend that was several years older then me. I still listen to it today. Brings back tons of good memories. Made my teen years awesome! Although it gets hard at times, because it reminds me of him. But I hope he's doing well. Rock on 🤘 brotha.
"Once korn popped.." ha i see what you did there
alex herrera "Nu metal is 'Korny'"
For some reason, I never got into Korn (and still don't) and I used to refer to the band as Pop-Korn sarcastically.
*Badum tss* 😂
Limp Bizkit stopped writing hits. It’s that simple. First three albums were classics.
Also Wes Borland leaving the band before that 4th album really had a big impact on their sound, it just wasn't the same and they just fizzled.
But people were really really sick of Fred and all of his antics.
Thank you
@@alainkaizer7769 exactly after hearing that Wes Borland was not in the follow up album from hot dog flavored water my interested fizzled out of the band.I mean I bought there follow up album and I listen to it but the songs weren’t any good.
what do u think of the new korn drummer
Woah.... That explains A LOT!! I cannot believe how spot on this is for me and my musical journey. You have definitely gained a subscriber and supporter my friend.
NU Metal was my favorite as a kid and still today. I’m 40. Thanks for discussing this topic. Disagree or agree. You brought our music to light! We need something metal, rock, punk, whatever to crank back up again! New Music today is pretty low on our side of the field! We need this new generation to take advice and lesions from the bands and genres that’s about done!
Guys our music is at a all time low! If you have talent and like our style of music it’s up to you to save it and keep it alive! Just do it!
This was the genre that brought heavy music to life to me. I was that angry kid from the suburbs who was only too excited to finally have a genre to identify with.
Many of my friends followed this path too.
@Songs for the Blind that was some brutal ass context man. I gotta go rethink my whole life now.
You and me both man!
Same I started with a7x and disturbed and pretty much worked backwards until I hit the 60’s and 50’s I love everything from slayer to Sinatra. Except country, I was raised on that shit and I hate it.
I agree but from the country and I hate country music
The entire first Korn album is just pure amazing.
yup!
The entire first 6 albums from them are amazing
The first Korn album is the realest shit they did. Life Is Peachy was sick too. Everything else is ass.
🤘
Amen🤘
For a while this was the dominant rock genre on both mainstream and alternative rock stations. I jumped on the train, especially Linkin Park and Korn. Ozzfest and Family Values concerts were so fun around this time. These bands don't get the respect they deserve.
One moment I'll love listening to CroMags, another moment it'll be Korn or StaticX. The 90s and 2000s just have everything I love. Such a vast variety and so innovative.
Hello, fan!
Thanks for reaching out congratulation 🎁🎊🎉You Won a (Flying guitar )Cheerful send a message above to acknowledge your prize 🎉🎁🎉?.
Fred Durst turns 50 this year, let set in on you
he was always old tho
he is older than my dad, what the fu
In LB's prime, he was in his 30's. Not a surprise because he's always been older. Lot's of people weren't aware of that.
Next year*
Yeah but the guy still sings and jumps around like he's 18, pretty remarkable
Deftones were definitely Nu metal in the 90s, at least in Around the Fur era for sure. But they moved on and I think they had the most success of any nu metal band in not being tied down to that era
I also think Korn and Slipknot have come a long way in finding new sounds. And Linkin Park... completely changed it up!
Deftones still today are my favorite band 😍
Tones for life!
Agreed.
Longtime tones fan and always will be
Never gave a damn if anyone liked them or not
The Deftones were definitely more overtly artistic and daring than other nu metal bands.
Surprised to hear you mention Snot. These videos are amazing and you are a treasure trove of metal/rock knowledge and history. Thanks for the hours of entertainment and nostalgia
Love your videos. You're one of the first channels I'll check out when my ears are fatigued from listening to so many hours of metal a day. Keep it up.
Also a lot of my best friends who happen to be a fellow outcasts in high school loved Korn and other nu-metal bands... I remember thinking it somehow wasn't sophisticated enough for me because I grew up listening to ELO and stuff like that. If it didn't have 3 chord changes per second I wasn't interested and boy was I missing out. That "stereotypical fan from Ohio" was very much my friend. A good kid who just didn't fit in.
ahh how I miss the "Rage-Againts-the-Limp-Korn-Tone" days
Lol
Rage is BACK
Hahahaha how I love limp Korn tones
I agree man, I was born in 83, and late 90's rock hit me like a NUKE! Just sucks that most of them sound different today, but I guess we can't have it all
Ratlkt
Korn And Slipknot..STILL SELLING OUT ARENA'S 20 Years Strong!!!!
Thanks For All The Likes...Lets Get 1,000 Likes If You Still Go And Support Korn And Slipknot Today!!
Broncos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤘🏻
THIS👆🏻
🤘I’m seeing Korn this summer no way they’re falling apart. They’re still going
nu-metal is were the drums are the main instrument and the guitars are support, slipknot has not done that since iowa
Lets go Broncos and metal 💪✊
Limp Bizkit during the Family Values Tour were AMAZING! Some of the best pits! Wes is an amazing player very underrated
saw Korn in a small venue in NJ in 96. Ive loved Nu-Metal from the beginning and what they have contributed to modern rock cannot be overstated.
“What killed Nu-Metal.”
Sobriety, aging out of puberty and/or paying taxes.
Actually yes
Paying taxes F's everything up
Fuckin right dude 😂😂
I was going to say "taste"
Limp Bizcut
It took me years to realize that numetal has always been my favorite genre.
Some of the bands he listed I never considered numetal. Fuck, half of my favorite bands are numetal apparently haha. I still cruise down the road listening to Dope, Static-X, Slipknot etc at full volume. The rest is a weird mix with half being folk metal.
@@snesguy9176 Meh Static-X was closer to industrial metal but those fans didnt like his music.
same lol
same xD
Same
I loved nu metal when I was a teenager. I remember going to see Korn and staind on the sick and twisted show with my dad. It was totally awesome 🤘🏻😫🤘🏻
I found this video very informative and extremely interesting thank you

@Kevin Z Nah
@Kevin Z 𝔫𝔬
@Kevin Z why? I mean do you have any more brain cells left to lose?
@Kevin Z Lil Bizkit
lil dumple is pure cancer to my ears
fred drust is just rehab of that cancer
Deftones absolutely hated being thrown in that category, so they released White Pony. And that's kind of the entire idea behind the single - Change (in the house of flies).
White Pony is something I still listen to🖤
I adore the Deftones. I listen to them every few months, one of the only bands from that era whose new music I like. I feel like they've changed with me as I've grown up.
Deftones is their own category.
Clever boys!
I would never call Deftones nu metal. They're more their own thing
My dad got hooked on nu metal a few years ago (born 1978) and fondly enjoying it to this day. He always plays stuff like Limp Bizkit’s 3rd album, LP’s Meteora, Infest by Papa Roach and Faceless by Godsmack every time I come visit him. Nu Metal lives! \m/
