That was the generation when Godsmack, Disturbed, Static X, Korn, POD, System of a Down, Nonpoint, etc. etc. were in their prime. It was from 1999-2005ish. That genre takes a lot of flack because it is radio friendly or "mall metal".

I love all of those bands because they really do bring me back to my roots. I never would have gotten into "harder" bands if it wasn't for them.

I can see this. It's a melding of my two favorite genres of music: Metal and Rap.
Both genres are anti-establishment and I was the first generation to be entirely raise on rap. Run-DMC and Aerosmith were walking their way all over MTV.
I figured it was a great mashup. Then came "Bring the Noize" and I went crazy for that shite.

There is some undeniably great music in there.
