was nu metal the worst genre ever in all of rock music /mu/?

It's pretty bad yea but I think S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Around the Fur and Toxicity are all pretty good albums in their own right. They each come up with some decent riffs, tight songwriting and conjure up unique atmospheres beyond braindead meathead riffs of the rest of the stuff.
Korn's s/t has some artistic merit too unlike everything else they ever released, it's actually the most creative, innovative album there - my reservations towards it are just to me fucking hating Jonathan Davis' schtick. Ball Tongue is a fun ass song though.
Tool isn't nu-metal but you knew that already.
>>71013820
no
cuz there was buttrock
nu-metal has some interesting releases
>>71013820
>putting Around the Fur in the same chart as Mudvayne
bumpo
Hair metal was a lot worse.
At least nu-metal had about half a dozen of legitimately good albums.
>>71013820
nu metal was the last sincere music genre before being corrupted by buttrock and post-grunge elements
>>71013820
You have 5 seconds to explain what makes Korn and Linkin Park's instrumentation worse than Primus and Nine Inch Nails's instrumentation.
>>71014539
linkin park is bad
>>71014571
I asked about their instrumentation specifically.

there is literally no reason why anyone would ever have to explain the difference between primus and linkin park, anyone who can't hear it within 5 seconds of listening to each band is medically braindead

Also pic related. Reanimation is legit more creative than 3/4 of Trent Reznor's discography.

Yeah, post-grunge (buttrock) and hair metal were both 100% manufactured plastic shit.
Nu metal had a few passable acts like Deftones and SOAD.
>>71013820
Maximum the Hormone are great but every other nu metal band is fucking awful desu senpai.
WHERE'S ALL MY NU METAL, ALL I SEE IS ENTRY LEVEL STUFF DESU.

it's not nu metal if it isn't emo.
>>71014657
>>71014690
early korn were basically a loveletter to primus though
this is better prog than Tool and better rap metal than RATM
>>71013820
there's a lot of niche subgenres like DSBM, War Metal or Brutal Prog that are worse, nu metal bands at least tried to make enjoyable music

Hating on nu-metal was literally a meme. People hated it because that's what they were told they were supposed to do. Same goes for every dead horse genre, really. That's not to say people who legitimately dislike it do not exist, but they're just a minority of the "haters".

I don't know, early releases were very honest, very similar to what Death Grips was doing today.
>inb4 death grips isn't numetal
that's not what I'm saying
>>71014821
nice strawman
>>71014885
but Death Grips is Nu Metal
>>71013820
Give it a few years and Nu Metal will, like Hair Metal and Glam Rock get rehabbed on nostalgia.
