Nu-Metal'S death

Postby kilik^ » Wed Feb 19, 2003 9:44 pm

do u guys think that the Nu-metal still have a future in the music industry?
Korn's album didn't sell well, even though i thought it was a decent album, Papa roach's new album didnt sold well either ( the record really sucks), and i don think that limp bizkit has a bright future with their new album also... so the only band that is still breathing in this genre is linkin park.

So what do u guys think? are new bands performing this type of genre, will have any future?

I hope not. Nu-metal is basically the boy band equivalent of rock, for guys. It's not even metal, really. Give the mostly white, suburban, poseur boys who are the biggest market for it a few years, and they won't be listening to it, as most people will be like "Only teenage punks (not the literal type, the insult term) listen to that shit".

How many people here think they'll be able to listen to Linkin Park's wailing in a few years, when they're in college or have a job, and do so without feeling embarassed or immature?

Not many, I'd bet. Hearing someone's heavily manufactured song about how the world has done them wrong is not timeless.

I haven't got to that stage yet, but yeah thats very true. The thing is that people got sick of those songs that talk about hating myself, and blah blah, and what u said is true those songs are not timeless. so mainly the problem with the NU-metal is the lyrical content in my opinion.

Well, the instrumentals too. It usually seems to involve a lot of bass guitar, some hip hop/DJ vocals, a little "dramatic" keyboard, and some basic guitar thrashing - in other words, not a whole lot of creativity.

i think the guys in soulfly said it best "basically pop music, with power chords, and little shelf life"

I don't really like Nu-Metal but I can listen to Linkin Park once in a while and still get some joy out of it but not really constantly. In Australia last year there was already a funeral for Nu-Metal.

I'm a bit of a fan of some numetal, particularly Linkin Park and Mad at Gravity. But I have to admit, virtually nothing in the nu-metal catalog has staying power.

I HATE IT! I wish they would stop making it. Not because it's THAT bad music. Nooo, because I'm going nuts about every 3rd AMV being nu-metal. I'm a metal fan myself, my AMV's could better be described as Anime Metal Videos for all that's concerned.

Nu-metal is something for real young kids that haven't tasted real metal yet. Or for people that can't decide for hardcore or 'normal' metal. AcK! I'm so tired of nu-metal I'd rather watch that aguilera chick on MTV.

Thats really true, before i've started to listen Rock i was a very big hip hop fan, Until Korn and deftones came out; After that i started discovering all this metal bands, and i change from hip hop to rock since then :lol: . After nu-metal came out lot of people change their tastes of music.

I admit that I like some numetal bands like System of a Down and Mudvayne, but the majority of the bands are horrible!
Do you ever notice that none of these bands (well, most of them) don't last more than a couple months (if they're lucky) in the limelight?
I mean, look at bands like Flaw and Mushroomhead. They just dissappeared!

You're right, numetal is pop music....just sorta in disguise. It has the same amount of shelf life as "flavor of the week" pop music, if not shorter.

Just how many bands can there be with funky face makeup/masks, growling singers, heavy power chords, double-bass drummers, and virtually no bass player?

I hate it as well (apart from S.O.A.D) but what it allways boils down to is one word long. Marketing, the corpirations are just looking for new ways to make money.. wait two years until they have pushed it to death.. then they move onto the next dumb idea...

Psh. To me, all your music so far is whiney pussy bullshit. You say you don't like NuMetal, then you turn around and say shit like Mudvayne and SOAD are good. Fact is, they ALL suck. And the Napalm Death comment. Last I checked, a lot of death metal bands are picking up on the melodic thing, much like Cradle did to black metal (and look how popular (and shitty) they are now!).
Soon you will have NuMetal based on what type of shit it is trying to be but can't!
-NuThrash Metal
-NuBlack Metal
-NuDeath Metal
-NuSenti Metal
-NuGoth Metal
Nu Metal isnt dying. Nowhere near it. It is just expanding to the point that you can't pick up on it anymore. Trust me, I could make a list form here to kingdom come of Nu Metal bands you would have NEVER expected!!! And YOU all think they are hardcore!!!

actually mushroom head has far from disappeared right now they're in the studio, i saw em at ozzfest and i have to admit for nu metal they're not bad

and what the hell is soulfly doing in that picture they are far from nu metal....i mean come on they have no rap beats and for that particular style they have it's due to max being in sepultura for like 10 years, and the band is brazillian
