Is it wrong that I...

have started listening to nu-metal again. especially korn, although i'm a fan of black dice and shit....



  • Nu metal...

    ...will come back if you encourage it even slightly.

  • Nu-Mental

    is f.o.n.c.e

  • it isn't wrong that you like music.

    wah wah wah look for validation elsewhere.

    • you are just all over that aren't you?

      amazing, I never got that approval suck angle till I came to your post- what a approval suck cop you are.

      It pains me everytime Korn gets called nu-metal. I like Jonathan Davis' assessment of Korn- "Phat Original Band"- and yeah, they are.

      • he says he likes something which is embarrassing for him to reveal,

        and then says "oh! but i do like obscure music too!"
        i'm just practising my sermon. people! like what you like! you like it, therefore to make it a guilty practise in your mind is some form of torture! "i like this band but what are my friends going to say!"
        who gives a flying fuck? whether the artist is black, white, old, young, singing in a different language, composing in 1647, only alive since 1997, in magazines, in zines instead, whether the artist is good-mannered, an arsehole you'd never want to talk to in your life, it's all. just. music. something created by other people for their and your enjoyment. and really, ONLY theirs and yours.
        peer pressure. to hell with it!

        • oh, and i do know i'm probably being too harsh in this particular case,

          but it's something which affects not only music, but fashion, relationships, food and drink choices, your entire fucking life. and it's dumb. like what you like - it'll make you happy.

  • no.

    as long as it's not all you listen to - 100% Korn turn Jonny into a meathead!

    • Korn is

      Gash pop metal. They wrote some songs with The Matrix... which is pretty much the worst indictement on your talent as a musician ever. They're so fucking lame they get Avril Lavigne's songwriting team in to finish their records.

      DEATH TO FALSE METAL.

      • For reference

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Spock

        The Matrix is a music production team, consisting of Scott Spock, Lauren Christy, and Graham Edwards. They gained fame in the early 2000s after writing and producing a series of hits for Avril Lavigne, Jason Mraz, Shakira, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Busted, Skye Sweetnam and Hilary Duff to name a few. They then went on to cowrite and produce "See You On The Other Side" for Korn which sold over 2 million worldwide.

  • I am starting to again. Well, sort of.

    For me, it's more of a nostalgia thing - I used to listen to Slipknot, Korn, Staind, etc, when I was at school, and when every so often I hear music from that period, it evokes a lot of great memories. So, for me, it's more about the emotions I've attached to the music, rather than the music itself, which is irredeemably awful.

    • There's fuck all wrong with listening to it

      or even liking it I guess... as long as you accept DEATH TO FALSE METAL.

      • I don't make a point of listening to it at all.

        But, if I hear a song of that ilk, I will probably listen to it as, as I have said earlier, it evokes many a great memory from my school days. The music is completely and utterly terrible, I'm in no doubt of that, but I enjoy revelling in the nostalgia it stirs.

      • metal is like punk- it means nothing anymore.

        death to false music

  • No, listen to what you want.

    You'll probably enjoy this thread - we did!

    Y'ALL CAN SUCK MY DICK AND FUCKING LIKE IT

  • NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY

    change my mind...and it leads me to a new disease

    • ^

      TUUUUUUNE. so many memories of me bein 11 flashing back

    • SPINESHANK!!!

      Dammit, I wish I was 12 again!

  • please dont encorage nu-metal to apear again

    listen to it in you own time sure but dont go spreading the word far and wide so other people remeber it exists... hehe

    • it's coming back

      even Jay-Z was busting out some of his Linkin Park stuff at Glasto

      • thats true :-s

        I heard Linkin Paks new one on the radio the other day too or at least I think it was them and DMX sounded like it anyway.

        • the songs i heard from the last linkin park album

          sounded like U2

          but look at Projekt Revolution, Linkin Park headlining Milton Keynes Bowl this year!

          • they are well loved

            I have even seen them many many years ago. I have also seen Limp Bizkit and Stained who had Puddle of Mud suporting man that was a lame show I'm so glad I was stoned for that.

            I dont think I could handel a nu-metal revival of people taking it to a new level. I might even prefer Nu-Rave to that... maybe......

            • If nu-metal came back

              it wouldn't be 'nu' any more, surely?

              • nu-nu-metal?

                Uber-Metal
                Rap-Metal
                Pap-Metal
                Cruck-Core

                I dont know

    • 2 years time

      nu-metal revival.

      i shall lead it. dont hate me

      • Mad Capsule Markets

        were vaguely nu metal, they were good. Errr, that's it really.

      • heheh

        you are forgiven.

      • nu-metal revival can only be two bands

        Korn and Limp Bizkit. All the others are just imitating them- sad but true.

  • This song is a

    POEM TO MYSELF
    it helps me to liiiiiiive

    • TAPROOT!!!

      Damn straight!

      • 100% DiS approved

        • 10/10!!!

          Well, if DiS is backing nu-metal, surely the revival isn't too far around the corner. Now I'll have to dig out my red NY Yankees cap and baggy jeans with chains hanging from them. Ahhhhh, to be 12 again.......

  • Kinda

    but also kinda not.

    My housemate and I went to a rave on saturday...but got bored and came home and blasted out lots of Nu-metal whilst pretty high on MD.

    • In fact

      I'm gonna add my Korn and Slipknot albums to Itunes.

      :D

  • it is wrong that you haven't been listening to it all the time

    slipknot ftw

    also, if you feel like you've let down kerry king, james hetfield and the other gids of metal, listen to GORGOROTH! WWW.MYSPACE.COM/GORGOROTH <- true norwegian black metal
