Legit nu-metal I was into back in high school, besides the usual Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot (no JNCOs/spiked hair/etc, just regular clothes):

I was gonna photoshop Wren's head onto a giant pair of jncos for this thread, but then I got bored with it. So just proceed like I did it, and laugh accordingly.

Glad I wasn't a Robin Williams buttdart and listened to hardcore and noise in high school instead of this shit.

The back pockets on those jeans are the same size of the pants! I hope those are actually shorts, because that's ridiculous and impractical. You'd have to go fishing to get your wallet out of there. Anyone who tried to pickpocket you could fall in!
Fortunately I never did the huge-pants thing, but I did do the wallet chains thing for a couple of years.

I got called a faggot for being a skateboarder and not tightrolling my pants by all the popped-collar douche kids in my grade school, until they all miraculously decided skating was cool (sometime around when the X games came around), and then I was a faggot because I wore nut-huggers and boots by then. Ya can't win.

Had one pair of jnco jeans, that lasted me 6 years. only time i got shit about it was through people on this board. Maybe the rev himself? can't remember, chopping block was still around.

Most of my friends were into nu-ish metal or pantera. I never got huge on either because I was more into thrash and death metal, but I grew to respect (in some regard) slipknot's first album, albeit I hate the vocals. Musically, I thought they infused death metal with industrial more than nu metal. If anything, though, the lyrics and vocals were nu metal. My buddy cliff liked the worst nu metal ever: ill nino, 40 below summer(?), and shit like that. Needless to say I don't hang with him anymore.
Another borderline nu metal band I had somewhat tolerated was nothingface. I didn't like them too much, but didnt mind when friends threw them on. It was difficult being the only kid in my highschool that liked extreme metal; couldnt relate to many people musically and earned the nickname "satan."
Anyone in our age group (late 20s, early 30s now) was exposed to the worst of the nu metal fad in its prime.
I must admit a guilty pleasure of mine that most people lump into the nu metal category, although i'd disagree. System of a Downs first album was a great listen..that album is unique and I wouldnt toss it in with shitty bands like Disturbed or Linkin Park. I liked how there was no other band that sounded like them.
All that being said, FUCK nu metal. I am so glad the fad is over.
Or is it?

i think justifying interest in a band simply because it might look bad in the eyes of metal douchers that call themselves "true" might be the the gayest thing one could ever do.

I was into a lot of shitty music back in the day, I don't hide from it though.
Like I said elsewhere, I'm an only child, so no older, wiser metalhead was guiding me through my high school years musically, which is why I got into nu-metal instead of TR00 METUHL. I eventually figured it out though.

Something crawl up your ass? There are multiple reasons why I don't hang with him, music isn't one.
[Jan 26,2012 11:09am - arilliusbm ""]
It doesn't matter who liked what; everyone likes different shit here anyways, but we all like heavy music. Nu metal must be accepted for what it was. More people could relate to the angst and immature emotions the bands displayed. It was always blaring in weight rooms, too.

Without nu metal, could dick be bro?

Just kidding, dude. Although there is a slight tickle in my anus.

oof, glad i got side-tracked by years of punk & crust and missed the whole nu metal thing.

yeah you dodged a howitser on that one.

i saw the roots starting to take form with pantera and bio-hazard and jumped ship just in time. COULDN'T HANDLE THE GROOVE, MAN.

Yea, Pantera, MachineHead, Korn, Sepultura, BioHazard, etc. were all the foragers of the early genre imho. It all started to take bloody root (LOL GET IT) in 1995-1997 ish, reached its peak around 2001, then slowly dwindled away. Post thrash/post groove angst music..whatever you want to call it.
Im some regards, its more hard rock than metal due to its mainstream success and watered down structure
[Jan 26,2012 12:54pm - ark ""]
i wondered why no other "heavy bands" sounded like metallica and megadeth, i gave up and went down a weird road of punk, emo, and industrial. took me a lot longer than it should have to discover thrash.
[Jan 26,2012 12:54pm - Yeti ""]
Type O Negative is solely responsible for nu-metal.
[Jan 26,2012 12:55pm - ark ""]
this was back when i was on a skateboard and the internet was there but it was impossible to find anything on it.
[Jan 26,2012 12:58pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
a lot of nu-metal was total garbage. and the large but short-lived following that developed was reflective of that. there's some songs i digged though. and a couple bands that got unfairly lumped into that genre. beyond that, its just another blemish on our musical history.
the blues is where its at.

I never liked the aggression of nu metal. I much preferred emo-core (before it was hip) until I changed my mind about harsh vocals.

Im all honesty, I was waaaaay more into video game music and tracked music (huge scene in the 90s) than any radio music. It sucks because it's nearly impossible to find people that listened to tracked music. So many good musicians come and went in that scene.

I figured, I was laughing at how you always wind up following up with a "but seriously" or "in all honesty," as if we're more likely to believe you this time.

Man when I was 13 I had a couple of Korn albums and Smells Like Children/Portrait of an American Family but most of the time I was too busy being an obnoxious 80s deathrock prick to know half these bands
Kikwear and UFO pants were THE THING for mall kids back then...and those tiny little Dogpile kilts
