The wrist bands also have a practical use. When playing in my punk band I wore them to reduce friction burns on my forearm due to strumming with poor technique. The guitar I played was a flat top so my forearm would Knick the edge. After an hour of playing that shit would suck. Especially when sweat hits the burn

I wear them while playing guitar because my arms sweaty profusely when I play live

[@princealigorna7468]

I've never really had that problem, but that might be because, when I did play music, I was more of a metal guitarist than a punk guitarist, and the lessons that taught me were always like, "Good metal picking comes from the wrist, not the elbow. You can pick faster, with more control, if you wrist pick." So I've always mostly wrist picked

Of course Limp Bizkit holds up exactly because its so over the top corny, the talents of Wes, John and Sam cannot be denied, and among all the chad rock on the surface you can actually find a lot of deeper undertones in songs like My Way or Lonely World. My Way in particular is actually such a melancholic song.

[@joshdoyle5225]

LB is one band that has a plethora of bangers that still hold up to this day anyone who says they don’t is lying through there teeth. There a band around the nu metal scene that didn’t wanna be serious and showed music wasn’t all about that they wanted to bring the fun on the rock side of things but what was more awesome is they all did together as friends and had a good time doing what they done

Still waiting for you to get to Hey There Delilah (hate) and Face Down (love). I remember that as the turning period for rock music when emo had gotten so mainstream that it was just an aspect of the sound of pop music, and soon "alt rock" radio was no longer recognizable as the genre it had purported to be the prior 15 years.

As much as I love Fat Lip, I actually thought Sum 41 got even better with the metal influences you mentioned, especially on Chuck. For me it made the non-singles stand out more, while having some great pop-punk singles like No Reason, compared to All Killer No Filler where I only listen to 2 songs. Also, is Rollin a bad song? Sure. Is it still fun to listen to? Hell yeah!

The first time I heard Limp Bizkit was on a demo tape my friend got at a Korn show. That and the subsequent 3 Dollar Bill album blew my mind. Then Significant Other was also awesome but felt a bit more simple with more pop sensibility. By Chocolate Starfish you could feel that they were just dicking around and enjoying their fame but my friends and I didn't care because it was still fun. I have fond memories of going to alternative clubs in the early 2000s, doing the Rollin' arm movement and having a blast being a young idiot. If Rollin doesn't still pump you up then I don't know what to tell you

as a 27 year old with an office job who frequents emo night here in philly, i can confirm when Shake It comes on the place goes nuts

Limp bizkit is just fun music… it doesn’t need to be super inspirational or anything it definitely holds up!

[@Kotsoros37]

Sum 41 is amazing and they're still going strong as ever, heard their new album will be a double album with one half being metal and the other back to their og pop punk style!

[@pleasehelp2446]

If I recall correctly owl City's name comes from a tree near his parents house that had a large amount of owls living in it. Because of his insomnia Adam would take a walk at night to relax and saw the tree that looked like an "owl city" and he watched them until he was calm then would go home and write music until he fell asleep.

[@zackaryford3315]

Man, this video was great. Left me feeling headstrong to take on anyone.

[@dookieeater]

Sum 41 is just a perfect band

[@ThatGirlEricaOG]

Fun Fact: Joey Fatone didn't do much of the break dancing scenes because he hurt (or had surgery or something I can't remember) his leg. Nsync used their choreographer had dressed up like Joey to fill in most of the standing/dancing parts for him. This is why Joey is mostly sitting down, his face is blurry, and he is placed in the back. You can watch all about it in the making of the Dirty Pop video.

[@sollamander2206]

Headstrong is peak early 2000s WWE Pay-per-view theme-core. I wonder where Terry Crews' career would be without 1000 Miles. I hope on your twitch stream you mentioned the historical significance of the Rollin' Music video. That video and the 2001 VMAs with denim suit Britney and Justin were the last gasps of turn of the millennium culture. I've commented on it before, but the movie he directed makes me think Fred was not in on the joke. Check Yes Juliet was a strictly worse version of The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls.

[@TwoBs]

I like Terry Crews in White Chicks, but my man had an established career long before being featured in that movie. You all forget Everybody Hates Chris? He was the dad. Pitched and recorded as he was doing White Chicks. He also had features in Malibu’s Most Wanted (8ball), Soul Plane, Friday After Next (Damon - his most memorable character for me during that era), Starsky & Hutch (Porter), and was pitched for Cheeseburger Eddie in The Longest Yard and President Camacho in Idiocracy before White Chicks officially released due to how well-known he was for being a big buff guy in comedies. Mad respect to the man for getting where he is today through features in black comedies beyond singing a song.

[@mprior93]

I think what people love most about LB is Wes, and formally, John. Wes is very much so underrated as a guitar player and if in a different band would get more credit then he gets

[@FinnMckentyPRMBA]

Seems true but listen to his side projects- not great

[@mikeandersonwa]

How was "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3 not on this list? That is the epitome of embarrassing 2000s music.

[@sammyhain]

Idk if u been to emo nite but I've seen about 200 20 yr Olds singing that shit at the top. Of. They shit

[@mikeandersonwa]

@@sammyhain Oh it's absolutely an anthem that we all loved at the time... but it's aged horribly and it's incredibly embarrassing to listen to now.

[@DraftZJ]

Check Yes Juliet and Fat Lip were the best songs on this list for sure. I actually agreed with pretty much every verdict you made

[@guglielmodaccardi4234]

Owl City is an amazing artist, he had no boundaries he tried everything from synth pop to screamo, for those who don't know he started a solo project called Blue Dallas. I would love to see Finn have him on his podcast, it would be amazing.

[@NoOneReallySpecial]

I graduated in '08 and man my teen years had some great music playing on the radio and TV. Even though we went to school together, I "met" my now husband on Myspace and started dating him our senior year. I remember all the trends and music styles. Glad to have been around during that time. Watching your live comments section made me chuckle. XD or xD will never go out of style, it seems.

[@tridentHalo]

Limp bizkit is eternal

[@KalaskanBullworm]

Your nostalgic references and comparisons are usually on point, but you knocked em out of the park in this video. Thanks for the laughs!

[@LaughingCrowcorp]

You take things too seriously man! It’s music. Once you learn to not care so much you will appreciate limp bizkit

[@mattblatchley2061]

Limp Bizkit helped bring rock and roll out of the grunge doldrums where everyone sang about "important, sad issues" it was a breath of fresh air, toxic fratboy masculinity be damned

[@johntravis7304]

I'll tell you why you think nysnc and limp bizkit are trash - it's b/c you didn't grow up with them. Finished done end of story.

[@Zombub]

Dude your Limp Bizkit segment in this video was some of the funniest shit I've seen on YT in a while😂

[@DarkestSonata]

I can't lie, there are a handful of Limp Bizkit songs I still like. Break Stuff, Faith, Behind Blue Eyes, Rearranged.

[@Scrinwaipwr]

Since getting into dark/heavy music during my adolescence at the turn of the century, a pop song has to be *really* good for me to like it. A Thousand Miles, A Million Fireflies, liked them at the time and still like them now. Maybe songs just need a big number in their title.

[@jc-wx5oo]

You just can’t wrap your head around the Limp Bizkit thing man. They’re just FUN!! 😂😂 it’s fun, immature music to bang your head to and sing along with. It’s really that simple. Sometimes cheese is just so tasty!

[@deebow_fat]

I went to a Killswitch show back in February. While they were setting up for Killswitch's set, they started playing "A Thousands Miles" and at least half the crowd was singing along. The collective voice of the crowd was noticeably deep.

[@SportsMetalBizkit]

That "Hey rockers, hip-hopers" line in rollin is iconic af!

[@IILegend]

That Metro Station section had me cracking up haha

[@Wasd3r]

Limp Bizkit is literally the pinnacle of music.

[@cultreader9751]

"A Thousand Miles" deserves props for being used in "ACVC" alone.

[@Salihbekova]

Trapt Headstrong commentary actually made me laugh out loud :D

[@pompousdenial]

That comment about being 28 and working an office job hit hard. Was having a great Tuesday until then. I’m away outside to cut the grass that I’m responsible for 😭 love your videos.

[@brennanc4321]

Limp Bizkit fandom makes sense, it has to do with alternative music being at an all time high during that time.

[@Landonio]

Bro I can't get over Joey Fatone humping carpet lmao

[@abedekok322]

NSYNC and Backstreet Boys are permanently etched into my mind because of sister's persistent requests to my mom to play them on our way to her after school dance classes, I presume this could also explain my appreciation for pop from back then. Thanks Sis

[@PhilUribe]

I'm not gonna say Limp Bizkit is the pinnacle of good music but it's definitely always been fun to listen to. It's like the difference between eating at a classy restaurant or having some greasy fast food. I know the food over there is better and I really prefer it most of the time but goddammit sometimes I just want a fuckin' hot-dog.

[@Topshot_37]

Rollin' will forever be a banger if only because it was Biker Takers intro music. I don't care what anyone says

[@dkres82]

Head strong just makes me think of Legends of Wrestling 2 they used that and always got me pumped to play.
