Commercial flops that were became timeless classics 👌

I think it was around the time I heard Papa Roach that I knew nu-metal was done. Deftones were and are a legitimately great band and Korn were obviously pioneers, while Bizkit were... well, Bizkit were Bizkit. But Papa Roach were the point where I realised this was going the same way as grunge and Britpop; every label trying to sign up anything that moved until the market was flooded with shite. Shortly after that came Alien Ant Farm and that was really when I felt like the wheels were coming off. Was it worth it? We got Deftones out of it, and Slipknot, Korn and SOAD had a handful of good tunes. As a metal fan, it was fun to see something adjascent to the music I liked actually getting played on the radio and appearing on Top of the Pops. So yeah, it was alright. But it really doesn't need a fucking revival.

I think Nu-Metal is more Metal than Metal Elitists and Traditionalists think it is. Rock Musics roots come from American Deep South Bluegrass music of the early African Americans. But Metal’s roots come from Ethnic Tribal music from Africa and South America. Metal is about that primal urge to groove to the beat of the music. And it’s that primal urge to groove to the music is what the Groove Metal and later Nu-Metal/Rap Metal bands in the 90’s wanted to revisit. As in the 80’s Metal was becoming technical and more about the musicianship which in turn Metal started to be influenced by Classical music in the 80’s. But Metal’s roots is of Ethnic Tribal music of grooving to the beat of the sounds. So Nu-Metal is far more Traditional Metal than people think it is.

Yeah, there's not enough room in one video to go over everything, but I would have dropped in nod to industrial, NIN are another glaring omission. Pitchshifter and Misery Loves Co weren't big bands but they were definitely part of this equation for me as well.

Oh fuck and Fear Factory and White Zombie n' all. How can you do rap crossover and groove metal without La Sexorcisto? Anyway, nu metal was kind of a distillate from a lot of influences, too numerous to name. This video did a good job of getting the point across: there's 5 or 6 good bands with one or two essential albums, but it was a flash in the pan as a scene

@@VuotoPneumaNNSo What? Derivative is the point. Pitchshifter drew together Ministry and Godflesh with the mid pace of that "Black Album" Metallica, and they had that early 90's Melvins/Fudge Tunnel/Therapy?/Big Black sound. The muddy guitars, simple and riffs and a more British sensibility in the electronic parts made Korn and Deftones sound pretty familiar to me in 1995.

a great video! as a nu metal fan born after its golden age it has been fascinating to see it become almost mainstream again. i was already mostly aware of most of the influences on the metal side of things, but this video made me realize that maybe i'd enjoy late 80s/90s hip hop too, which is a genre i never really dived into before! i've never heard of "judgement night" before either but i think it might be what i start with:)

This was a really well-researched and insightful video that brought back a lot of great memories from that era of music. I loved how you traced the origins and evolution of nu metal, from the early rap-rock crossovers through the rise of bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park in the late 90s/early 2000s. Your passion and knowledge of the subject really shines through. The way you contextualized the music with what was going on culturally at the time was spot-on. And I appreciated your balanced take - celebrating what made nu metal exciting and impactful for a generation, while also acknowledging some of its more problematic elements. Overall, this was a super engaging and nostalgic trip down memory lane. Your videos are always such a treat - informative, entertaining and crafted with obvious care and attention to detail. Please keep up the amazing work! Your thoughtful deep dives into music history are a real gift. Thanks for putting so much effort into this stellar content.❤

I feel like a mention of Atlanta-based Stuck Mojo was missed here. When I heard them circa 94 (though they had been around for a few years already ) I was like, "This is where it's going. And it's going to be so, so good." I was right and wrong simultaneously. I've often said, "We were promised Stuck Mojo. We got Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock." Either way, give their history and early stuff a look and let me know if *you* think it was a missed mention.
