Is This Nu-Metal?

[Norah]

Limp Bizkit is absolutely nu-metal.

Body Count

Body Count

No. Hardcore punk with some rapping.

[LoathedVermin72]

I will submit for consideration: Danzig. Specifically, the Satans Child/I Luciferi period.

[wease]

Danzig, no. He’s too fucking short.

[LoathedVermin72]

I think I gotta disagree with chud and Jorge about SOAD. I would consider them Nu Metal. They have that skater-punk-esque playfulness that was such a hallmark of the movement. Being political doesn’t preclude a band from being Nu, nor do manic, unusual compositions. They have the low-end heaviness, they have the attitude, they have the look. It’s there.

[Norah]

their musicianship is too good to be nu-metal

This is nonsense and you know it. Being Nu doesn’t just mean bad.

of course it means more than just being bad, but it still has to be bad

No it doesn’t!

I agree. I basic tenet of nu metal is it's poor musicianship.

I just think SOAD has a lot more in common with Dead Kennedys than with KoRn

[LoathedVermin72]

I’d say they have things in common with both.

It’s okay that you like a Nu Metal band, guys.

You're putting words in my mouth -- I neither said that I liked them nor that it was bad to like a nu-metal band

[BurtReynolds]

I just remember MTV pushing Korn, Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock hard for lack of anything better to promote. No wonder they eventually just dumped music altogether.

[LoathedVermin72]

lol at Nu Metal was a "movement"

It was. It was a specific sound and style that had accompanying fashion and encompassed a lot of bands.

I was really just referring to chud

What about P.O.D.?

Of course
