Like, I consider the DIY/Michael Azerrad bands more of a movement, even though they sounded (and often looked) nothing alike.
But whatever, I'm just nitpicking.

I think there was an ethos. It was quite anti-classics like The Beatles and whatnot. They didn't revere the obligatory bands you were supposed to. That and the whole trailer trash hero thing. I hesitate to say blue collar. They were whatever is below that.tragabigzanda wrote:I guess when I think of "movement" I think of "ethos," and I don't see any particular ethos to most of these bands beyond getting paid (SOAD notwithstanding).

I wouldn't call PJ post-grunge but I might call Staind grunge. What is post-grunge really? Just grunge that came out after its cultural moment?LoathedVermin72 wrote:Nu Metal is more specific than just rap + rock/metal. RATM doesn’t sound Nu at all. It’d be like calling Pearl Jam post-grunge because they influenced Staind.

Too theatrical for me.LoathedVermin72 wrote:What about Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie? Sure, they’re probably industrial metal mixed with alternative metal, it they really seem to toe the Nu line. Especially with how hooky a lot of their songs are.
