Mate. Have you seen the rockstars of the current decade?
>>74096193
No nu-metal band spawned anyone who was generally considered to be a "rockstar" in the public eye. Fred Durst was the closest thing to one, but everyone got really sick of him really quickly.
At the genre's commercial peak it was all still generally treated as a joke by everyone except for the 10-to-14-year olds who bought the CDs. There was always something highly disreputable and trashy about it all.
That said though, even in a genre as utterly devoid of charismatic and likable frontmen as nu-metal though, the two fuckheads from Linkin Park stood out as being particularly bereft of charisma and notable features. Awful, awful band.

hey guys, what's going on in this thread?
>>74096383
this post is pretty accurate
nu-metal was always too whiny and juvenile for the music or the people making it to be treated with any sort of reverence or respect
none of the frontmen of the big nu-metal bands were ever treated and perceived the way that the likes of cobain or staley or the gallaghers were treated in the 90s

People like Serj Tankian don't they?
>>74096193
This goes to show how out of touch society is with their own species, probably partly due to adapting to excessive shut-in lifestyles thanks to advances in technology and internet culture. Emotional music covering difficult subjects =cringe and that's pretty sad.

>nu-metal was always too whiny and juvenile
Dude most early metal was about either devil worship or sleaze. If anything, nu-metal was a maturation of the genre's lyrical content.

>the first "metal" song was a dude weed anthem
Fred Durst was unironically a great frontman
post attractive and creative artists that achieved commercial success in the 00's

Yep. Look at Black Sabbath's lyrics and tell me that they're more mature than Linkin Park's.
