Is This Nu-Metal?

[epilogue]

Have you heard “Twist”?

I have not heard any KoRn song that wasn't "Daddy" or a single

It’s just 50 seconds of scat

Ruddo's gonna love this post.

I'm sure I will. I need to listen to the song first then come back to it. I am not a die hard Korn fan so I'm unfamiliar with that song

But... Jorge did the thing where.... never mind.

[E.H. Ruddock]

It's only good if I know what he is imitating though, otherwise it's just jumble

Ah. Yeah, that's fair.

[Jammer XCI]

Now do the scat breakdown from “B.B.K.”

[tragabigzanda]

[epilogue]

That defeats the whole point.

Christ, I know way too many of these.
I’d add “The Clincher” by Chevelle.
Looking at this list, are we certain Audioslave and Velvet Revolver don’t fit comfortably?

[Jammer XCI]

Let me get back on this, I have lots of opinions about it but I’m at the bar with my girlfriend.

Smooth Criminal? I don't know...

Many of these are definitely not songs I'd call nu-metal. "Bad Day"? That thing sounds like a Matchbox Twenty ballad

[Jorge]

Here's a terrible early-aughts rock song that only I appear to remember. Is it nu-metal?

I am including Post-Grunge

[BurtReynolds]

3 Doors Down all the way!

[Jammer XCI]

Needs more System of a Down and Deftones

[LoathedVermin72]

I don’t think they really had any other big hits during the era?

[Jammer XCI]

I’m not sure on the commercial success vs genre adherence based on that list. But I’m also really drunk right now, which seems like the right state of mind to judge nu metal standards.

I’ll catch up on this later.

[Kaius]

Kid Rock’s “Cowboy” and “I am the Bullgod” should be on here over “American Bad Ass”.

[Kevin Davis]

"Stellar" and "Wish You Were Here" are the two other Incubus songs I remember being omnipresent at the time. Less nu-metalish than others perhaps but since "Drive" is there...

"Rearranged" and "Take a Look Around" are two other Limp Bizkit songs that were played a lot here. I was in the drive-thru at a Hardee's when the radio DJ broke the news about 9/11, very solemnly of course, and then said, "Here's a song that probably really captures what everyone's feeling right now," and played "Take a Look Around," thus forever immortalizing Limp Bizkit as a part of my "where were you on 9/11?" story.

SOAD's "Toxicity" got a lot of play here.

I remember all the Creed songs on the list but "My Own Prison" is the one I remember most.

If we're including post-grunge, this probably should be there:

[daft twat]

Days of the New was balls deep in grunge.
