NuMetal is the most egregious assault on music since it's inception.

It seems like one day it was Alice in chains, Soundgarden, STP, Pearl jam, etc. Then fricking Korn and Fred Durst. I feel like NuMetal ruined everything, just in general.

I've personally never understood the appeal of downtuned 7 string guitars.

There's good and bad in every genre. Korn, Linkin Park, and Slipknot are some of the biggest metal bands of all time for good reason. Korn is one of the most innovative bands in rock history.

Fred Durst… a man of less than modest talent. Just awful.

I dig it.
And to commiserate hating that era I'm going to watch some 1999 Woodstock.

It signified a shift from bands started by older GenXers to younger GenXers. It must have to do with slightly different musical influences. My theory is that hip hop/rap started to negatively impact the genre. And I would add that rap is the most egregious assault on music in history.

I can’t stand Korn, just way too weird for my tastes. I respect them for what a huge innovation their style was, but I don’t enjoy listening to them.
Limp Bizkit is fun party music when you’re drunk, but not meant to be taken seriously. It’s the unpretentious version of Rage Against the Machine.
Slipknot is great music that holds up and was a huge influence on most of the metal being made today.
It’s not like the 2000’s was bereft of good grunge-esque bands: Audioslave, Alter Bridge, Seether, Shinedown, Chevelle, etc. Nu Metal was huge, but far from the only game in town.

I reserve that "honor" for the talentless and seemingly endless void that is hip-hop.
Numetal sucked, but at least it contained itself and ended. Hip-hop has continued to devolve from day one and has spread to every remaining musical genre save maybe classical.

I hate nu metal, but Korn gets a pass. They transcended the subgenre.

I hate numetal too but it's far from being the most egregious assault on music since it's inception in the mid-90's.

Korn has always been unbelievable and helped me survive my teenage years. They’re still pumping out solid music. Slipknot is an unstoppable machine it would seem. But I’m embarrassed I ever owned a limp bizkit cd

Nirvana is the most egregious offender. Singing well and being proficient at your instruments became passe.

I loved Limp Bizkit as a kid, and I still enjoy their music 20 something years later. Not something that I listen to much, but when I do I enjoy it. Nostalgia plays a big part, but I think that there music is genuinely pretty interesting, especially Wes Borland's guitar playing.
