i've been recently getting really into nu metal, and i've seen some discussion about how people hate it, so im curious of everyones thoughts on it, and if you do hate it, why?

i personally love nu metal and its use of hip hop/rap music. i think intersectionality is the BEST i love these genres coming together to make something new and interesting

and if u do like nu metal, whats your fav new metal song!

i can understand why ppl hate nu-metal maybe not the music itself but the more prominent artists half of them appropriate and tons of them have publicly said slurs. nu-metal fanbases are so toxic too so many ppl have individuality complexes while being shitty bigots that love to gatekeep. but soundwise alone I love it and I will admit I can understand why someone may not like it sonically I love it and I personally like to separate art from artists

oh yeah i can definetly understand the hate towards the artists being bigots. for some reason they think its "punk" and "cool" to be hatefully and say slurs like that. i dont really care for artists themselves and instead listen to the music they produce, but i can totally see why people wouldnt like nu metal for the environment that it has created!

I enjoy the music, but don't like the artists as individuals.

love the music, fashion that goes with....
buuuttt the fans and scene wasnt/ isnt great
i do really love how the music influenced alot of stuff that we see now-
also jon davis colabed w sum amazing people. that being said there was alot of appropriation (culturaly) and slurs said.
i think at the time nu metal was looked down apon for the wrong reasons. (the fashion and fans) who were mostly just edgy teenagers trying to prove things.
marilyn manson isnt nu metal, but was kinda beside the scene for a long time- and while creativly hes amazing- he is a horrible person and many teens looked up to him- so that explains alot.
i think its also important to credit the origins too, being rap and hiphop mostly. we wouldnt see the amazing works without such. which is ironic considering alot of the numetal artists have been racists.
i have alot to say but like this is a summary
can enjoy the scene from a distance tho

It's okay, I feel like it's a broad genre, but I dont listen to it as much as I used to. Gotta love the classics tho :)

i realize that it's just the descriptor for the genre, but it's hardly nu anymore - as it's now old enough to be played on retro or wayback weekend radio situations. admittedly i've always found something to be lacking there, but it all comes down to people hear things differently and appreciate some cultivated noises over others. i think i just prefer my hip hop being hip hop and my metal being metal with respect for both genres in general - but y'know, it's whatever, i think at this point in my life i only really hate gwen stefani's attempts at anything.

the people that have a genuine gripe with nu metal are usually just old dudes that only listen to metallica
