[@Victor-kh5rh]

Nahhh metal in Europe was so much better and creative at the time. Nu metal was just the same American commercial response, just combined grunge, rap, and sprinkled some thrash. Meanwhile in Europe there was an explosion of subgenres. The best US bands at the time were not part of the nu metal scene.

[@Pinhead_larry69]

I agree the first time I was introduced to metal was at a friends house ages ago, they where playing “down with the sickness” by disturbed, it opened my mind up to lots of different music and I’ve been hooked on metal since then.

[@fabriziogarreta7160]

[@АртёмАндриянов-я6м]

1994-1996: Nu metal emerged from a variety of influences, including rap rock, funk metal, and alternative metal. Bands such as Rage Against the Machine, Faith No More, and Tool were early influences. Korn's self-titled debut album in 1994 is often cited as the first nu metal album, with its heavy guitar riffs, hip hop-inspired beats, and raw emotional lyrics. 1997-1999: Nu metal exploded in popularity, with a number of bands achieving mainstream success. Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot were among the most successful, with their aggressive sound and visually striking performances. Other notable bands include Deftones, System of a Down, and Papa Roach. 2000-2002: Nu metal continued to dominate the charts, with Linkin Park, P.O.D., and Disturbed among the most successful bands. However, the genre began to face criticism for being too formulaic, with many bands employing similar elements in their music and visual style. 2003-2004: Nu metal's popularity began to wane, with many bands moving away from the genre or breaking up. Linkin Park's album "Meteora" was a commercial success, but signaled a shift towards a more mainstream rock sound. Other bands, such as Korn and Papa Roach, experimented with different styles and incorporated more electronic elements into their music.

I totally wasn’t expecting to be hit with Fungus-era Incubus as the second pick! They absolutely wore their influences on their sleeves early on (RHCP, Mr. Bungle, Primus), but I always thought they had their own sound. The whole band were individually great musicians, but particularly the playfully weird lyrics and the very memorable and hummable guitar solos always stood out to me. SCIENCE would blow my teenage mind, and thoroughly ruined all other music for a solid 12 months after I first heard it.

The thing I like about Linkin park is that they were mature and built their lyricism from hard struggles, and it tied into the awesome instrumental, and plus, mike shinoda was a great rapper, and it was amazing how they went from mike to Chester while the instrumental turns on the style of their lyrics.

From my mid teens to early twenties. Late nineties nu metal really spoke to my high school anger and frustrations. When I got my first good job in 2001, and also had mellowed out A LOT, I met people there that started introducing me to a ton of new music, and by around 2002 I had completely checked out of this style of music. I don’t even recognize half of the songs after 2002 or so. Still this video brought back some awesome memories and had clips of songs I hadn’t heard or thought about in twenty years. 👍

[@muslimmetalman]

a lot of the kids really get into it recently and pull out everything including the not so great stuff that persisted.

Nu Metal never dies.

[@mid-s_to_earlysViBEZ]

*NEVER!!!!* 💯

[@evanblake5252]

More than that even, it's reaching new heights, with guys like Tallah doing their thing, even though they're not purely Nu-Metal.

[@neverangel24officialytchan87]

Except when they evolve it to make it sound modern. 😂

[@evanblake5252]

@@neverangel24officialytchan87 So, evolving, and being modern, to you, means something is dead. Boy you have some interesting standards.

[@neverangel24officialytchan87]

@@evanblake5252 Standards? I know I’m no professional myself, but it is a fact without a doubt. The music that you hear where today’s people label it as “rock/hip hop” is all counterfeit.

So you included Kid Rock in your list, but didn't mentioned Coal Chamber. Splendid...

[@L.R.KNIGHT]

Kid rock and pom had no place here 🤣 even creed had better claims to nu metal than those two.

@@L.R.KNIGHT both kid rock and puddle of Mudd is NÜ Metal.

[@L.R.KNIGHT]

@@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000 that's absolutely insane to even consider. She hates me is a Nirvana rip-off, between rate me and dumb. Most of their CD that debuted was nothing but a Nirvana and days of a new ripoff Kid Rock, I can't think of one song that's even close to nu metal. I am the bull-god is a general rap rock song, where the guitar work is pretty much 90s alternative. There's nothing metal about it.. ba wt da ba it's nothing but an EFG scale. At the time I guess you could consider it more of an ac-dc except more modern. Nothing was nu-metal about devil without a cause, or cowboy, or anything on that record. The first step to any new metal song is dropping D and then potentially dropping a whole step below that . So it's very very hard for me to have any kind of understanding that those two bands were nu-metal. I'd call them corporate rock whores more than anything

[@heather2503]

I hate coal chamber with a passion because I had mixed up love by coal chamber and I am loco by I'll nino and got very frustrated trying to find the latter

Lol there's nothing unique about Linkin Park. They had a screamer and a rapper with a guy on turn tables. They were late to the party and just joined in the tail end of nu metal with non offensive songs. Nothing unique at all. Just generic

[@troyanotz]

Missed Snot a very unique sound band and a very sad ending

[@Giratina1999]

Agreed, Lynn Strait was a killer vocalist

[@kentarom2de945]

Correction: While White Pony did came out in 2000, the music video you are showing was from a EP that came out after White Pony in 2001. And that the album Start Something came out in 2004, while the music video was from a single that came before the album. And the same goes to The Fake Sound of Progress as it originally release in 2000.

[@Giratina1999]

Yeah the dates are abit off, I put that in the description lol, however; the fake sound of progress got re recorded and released for international markets in 2001!

[@nessuno8592]

I think you should include also One Minute Silence or the A and Downthesun ✌🏻

This is a great video! These are all of the bands that got me into rock music, during my high school and college years.

[@17millionfuckoffs]

Ahhh man this is such a nostalgia hit, I had at least half of these albums. If I ever get a time machine I'm going straight back to the 90's...

[@vanmantalks]

Slipknot obviously very influential in the scene but I would probably only class there debut as nu metal Honourable mentions Hed P.E, spineshank, tap root, coal chamber, American head charge and Kitty

[@Capy1337]

finally someone mentioning Hed P.E.

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

I love how freaky Nu-Metal bands dress!!! It's badass, stylish, and freaky all at the same time, like, for example... Like dressing up in a Good Guys doll suit while wearing a Jason Voorhees mask with a blood stained NY cap on backwards!!! That would be My mascot for the band if I formed a Nu-Metal band!!!

[@Mezzy..]

Even though it’s only one genre, it’s so diverse. So many of these songs sound nothing like the others

[@michaelkelnberger6420]

lost prophets should be removed from the list. what the singer did is unforgivable

[@MyFavoriteDisease]

Good compilation. I was about 16 when I got into this kind of music, good times. Now I'm 37, and even though my taste has changed a bit over the years, I keep listening to these bands frequently.

[@evanblake5252]

I'm not 37, but I have been listening to Metal for a long time now, and I am an adult, and I think my tastes change somewhat, but mainly they just increase. Meaning I get into a wider range of things as time goes on while still being into a good amount of what I used to be.

[@tischo83]

Good times for all of us growing up back then. And now we are kind of old and still love this quality musik which to me is totaly OK :)

[@joelsimmers2767]

yeah lostprophets is a great band, the lead singer seems like a really cool guy

[@NinjaChoke]

[@laurisaarinen1126]

That was a solid decade of a great genre, right after grunge and right before emo. Start and end were both great here from Blind to Before I Forget. Sure it wasn't perfect... We went from the heights of Korn, Deftones, Incubus, Slipknot and Mudvayne - to still good Limp Bizkit - to meh Papa Roach - to the lows of Kid Rock. There's some bands i might not consider nu metal... And some bands i would have added such as Coal Chamber, Snot, Spineshank, Ill Nino and Skindred. But good video anyway!

I would say that the bands that Influenced the genre were: FAITH NO MORE, MR. BUNGLE (lot of Mike Patton's work if we are honest) RHCP, RATM, TOOL, PRIMUS, MINISTRY, HELMET, PANTERA, bands like Sepultura, Machine Head and Fear Factory also influenced the genre but also jumped into it in a couple of albums of the era.
