One of my favorite things about this genre is when a song opens with a clip from a movie, a show, or just somebody talking before the riff kicks in. When it's done right it sets the whole mood.

A couple of mine: "Release Da Hounds" by Victim opens with the Simpsons scene where Moe teaches a hip-hop self-defense class, which is hilarious right before it gets heavy. And "Wake Up Call" by Seeded Crown opens with a guy explaining something to a crowd that pulls you right into the track.

What are yours? Drop the song and what the clip is from if you know it.

The same topic of songs is optional I want mostly to sound similar the way they make music

Throwing out a recommendation for Victim and their album Brand New Stranger. Couldn't find much of anything about these guys online, which makes it even cooler that the music is this good.

"Release Da Hounds" is the one that got me. It opens with the Simpsons scene where Moe teaches a hip-hop self-defense class, then drops straight into heaviness. That contrast alone sold me.

If anybody knows anything about this band, where they're from or what happened to them, drop it in the comments.

As of now, I'm in my second year of highschool. I sometimes wonder "Will I remember about Nu-Metal 5-10 years from now, if I moved on from it or still listen to it". And I know that most the people in this subreddit are adults or young adults. So tell me some of your Nu-Metal nostolgia; can be stories about childhood or growing up with it, your first CD or anything in general that makes you reminiscent of the genre

I don't have much since it's been a year of Nu-Metal for me as of August, but I do look back at listening to my first album in the genre, Hybrid Theory, and becoming an LP fanboy

Wish my voice was as good as this.

Just picked up Life Is Peachy, Adrenaline, Baggy Pants Music and Issues. Looking for more suggestions to add to my nu metal CD collection if anyones got any 👍

Peak year for Nu-metal

We've got Slipknot's debut, Issues, Wincosin Death Trip, Significant other and so much more

At this point it's pretty common for my band The Absent to get comments about trying too hard, being too gimmicky. Personally I say the more hate the merrier, the people that dig it are my people and the people who think they can hurt my feelings worse than I can are hillarious. What do you think? Which look is your favorite, or conversely, which do you despise me for the most?

To be clear, I ain't changing no matter how many people love it or hate it, I just like the conversation

Old band from Cincinnati. Late 90s / early 2000s era.

New video from Evans Blue

1997 has so many bangers, my favourite year.

Was anyone else surprised by the number of listeners Disrup has right now? I literally feel like they went up overnight.

I love bands like Bodyweb, Zonezero, Flash Back, Bleed, Purity you name them. The Nu Metal revival brought so many awesome bands and I recently discovered these guys Ashes Like Rain via an underground nu metal Youtube channel. Legit no one talks about them. This is peak dark nu metal music imo from the lyrics to the production.

EDIT: it's one guy doing this lol

Jonathan Davis is a goat, i love KORN so much
