Nu Metal Appreciation[views:6836][posts:59]___________________________________ [Jan 26,2012 1:27pm - Czarnobog ""] arilliusbm said:Yea, Pantera, MachineHead, Korn, Sepultura, BioHazard, etc. were all the foragers of the early genre imho. It all started to take bloody root (LOL GET IT) in 1995-1997 ish, reached its peak around 2001, then slowly dwindled away. Post thrash/post groove angst music..whatever you want to call it. Im some regards, its more hard rock than metal due to its mainstream success and watered down structure no way, before that. more like '90-'92. i had a funny conversation with kpanzer recently about the death of good hardcore around here (goes for thrash metal too, there was a lot of scene crossover back then), when everything stopped being fast, shitty and aggressive and got all groovy and 'all breakdown all the time'. he admitted that alot of bands took note from bio-hazard etc and started consciously changing their sound to keep up with the times... and seems pretty regretful about the whole thing (aka 'the basketball shorts years'), haha. |

True, but isn't that the fun of it all? I hope people who are lame enough to care what other people listen to believe that that's what I used to listen to. Anyway, I don't know how anyone could ever listen to Biohazard. Irredeemable crap. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 26,2012 1:29pm - arilliusbm ""] Ha, I guess you could argue that. from my perspective (i was still listening to Tears for Fears and Hair rock in 89), it seemed "nu metal" as we know it started to formulate in the mid 90s. Granted, youre older and wiser so i'd take your word for it. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 26,2012 1:38pm - Czarnobog ""] but yeah, seems like later on the jock-ified underground hardcore scene started mixing it up with the groovy metal world (pantera, sepultura, etc) and some industrial & rap and that probably birthed actual nu metal. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 26,2012 1:39pm - Alx_Casket ""] I always thought it was white kids who couldn't rap that birthed nu metal. |

I believe xmikex started it and there was a brick involved. |
