Why metalheads hate nu metal

You have a good command of the language sir. Now fasten your seat belt. As far as nu-metal is concerned or what I like to call Complete Fucking Garbage, I'll have to disagree. I'm not obligated to listen to anything I don't want to nor make any sort of an attempt to understand it or what it represents or where it even came from.

I don't think so. I've heard both bands and I'd rather I deleted the expletives here. Nu-metal is basically a bunch of talentless turds who got together and used their trust funds to put together a band.

Then, with the help of someone in the music industry, they discovered what sells and what doesn't. As long as that money is rolling in they'll keep producing the same no-talent drivel year after year. Basically what Metallica decided to do after Cliff's death For me it's about the quality of the music and not the bullshit that comes along with it.

I don't give a shit if a band has to wear scary masks or eat their own feces on stage as long as they can play. If Madonna set herself on fire during her next tour I'd be mildly interested as long as she jumped into the crowd while still on fire , but it doesn't mean her music is any good.

I want good music, not a circus act. Whats the deal with not playing the day that never comes I just dont understand. Posts: From: Portugal. Njord njord Posts: From: Portugal. I don't think nu-metal is an evolution of metal, it's more like a way to reach more audience, joining trendy values that MTV and other fountains of money have interest.

It's more like a virus that soon will be banned of metal, because the main purpose is another thing than music. Maybe money, maybe just sucess.. That's why Slipknot or Korn are almost forgotton right now, 5 or 6 years after the 'boom' Anyway iaberis, thanks for your impression about this theme.

A lot of them say razor sharp guitar solos in Heavy Metal are boring compared to the adrenaline pumping riffs of NU Metal. I think it has something to do with their listening skills. We shouldn't forget that listening is a skill. The more you listen and focus intently, the more it improves. One of my theories behind NU Metal kids being bored is what I call, the I-Envy-These-Bands-Who-are-virtuosos-so-I-chose-to-listen-to-average-NUmetal-which-I-think-I-can-play-and-listen-to-with-less-effort-and-when-their-time-is-over-i-can-just-replace-it-with-the-next-fad-if-ever-there-is.

For me, NU Metal is like a man filled with huge amounts of adrenaline at first, but once it runs out, it is out forever and I can go on through a whole year without ever longing for it.

But why must it evolve to something so bad and it's only okay to borrow from other genres as long as I found it to be good.

When it comes to music only one person is right about things and such, and that is you yourself. Posts: From: Germany. DayFly Posts: From: Germany. Good article. But to be honest, it's not really about nu-metal, now, is it? I'll never understand why people are so overtly bothered by nu-metal or nowadays emo and metalcore. Posts: From: Brazil. Great article. The old ''I hate nu metal'' is getting so lame that reach the ridiculous It's easier to hate some cheesy Power, Folk or Gothic metal bands than much of Nu Metal has to offer.

Written by iaberis on Posts: From: USA. I like what I like regardless of genres. That's my personal taste. If we all had the same tastes, music would be stagnant and really fuckin boring!!!

I think one of the great nu forever is mudvayne no band can sucks like them. Nu metal is not evolution. It is bastardizing metal for record labels to make money off of. Also, what do you mean, follow your times?

Seems like your saying, "Your bands are soooo last week, Korn is all the rage now! Be with the kool kids! Ill Nino is sick. I dont know why, I just dont like the majority of singers in Nu Metal bands. I understand that Robert Plant and others of that time, well, it was just their voice, but its pretty uncommon to listen to voices that are not that high pitched in popular music. I can just name a few male singers that are not high pitched from memory right now, probably there are more, but for some reason low pitched voices are something lacking on popular music throught time:.

I prefer manlier voices like this one. Nu-metal is definitely a genre I was guilty of disliking on principle as a teenager. As a classic metal fan, it felt like an attack on everything I liked about the genre: DJs, rapping, hip-hop beats, electronic instrumentation, over-production, lyrical content focusing on materialism and self-aggrandizing etc. Also, it was very popular, so of course that meant I disliked it even more.

With the benefit of hindsight though, I will now admit that there are some really good songs in the genre. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy! Already have an account?

Because they're metal elitists lol. Posted March 11 edited. Edited March 11 by [McD]James. Limp Bizkit still sucks tho.

Stupid Bunny. They are all extreme music to me : I am the badest out there. But i often said i only like metal bands to sound manlier. I personally don't hate them though i mostly listen to different metals now. I will still always like Bring Me To Life, though. Aqua and The Spice Girls kick ass. Maximum The Hormone. We all make mistakes but some are unforgivable; the music sounds just as bad today as it ever did. Where to start? It was a nu-metal prerequisite to have something foul going on in the facial hair department.

On top of that we had frosted highlights, baseball caps, oversized sports shirts, white socks pulled up to the knee and over-styled greasy hair. Quite apart from the try-hard raps that make up much of nu-metal, the voices they put on were really the pits.
