>DUDE CHECK OUT THIS ALBUM ART IT’S THIS GIRL PLAYING HOPSCOTCH BUT SHE’S GOING OFF OF A CLIFF DUDE IT’S SO EDGY
Why was Gen X music like this?
>DUDE CHECK OUT THIS ALBUM ART ITS THIS GIRL PLAYING HOPSCOTCH BUT SHES GOING OFF OF A CLIFF DUDE ITS SO EDGY
it was the era of boy bands, even the rock bands were boy bands. imagery like that wasn't meant to be truly edgy, it was meant to be edgy in the eyes of a prepubescent trailer trash. it was drawn by todd mcfarlane, can't get more transparent than that in who you're aiming at. it's like how today if you want to appeal to the tranny audience, put cropped e-boi porn or some gay "adventure time but TWISTED" looking shit together
>even the rock bands were boy bands
So like the 60s?
Yeah but it goes even deeper than that, dude. Notice how the title is “follow the leader” and the whole crowd of kids is about to follow her off the cliff. Plus her dress is red and the rest of the picture has the colors all washed out, so it’s like Schindler’s List.

Its good album art then, would be now. it does it's job thats all that matters
Zoomer edginess is even worse, though. Somehow, humanity went backwards and now all of you actually believe in religion, magic and other fantasy stuff.
Corey is sitting with his legs spread open and in between his legs stands Chris Fehn, A.K.A Dick Nose, due to the nose on his mask have a phallic like shape, his nose stands in as Corey's penis. If the strange masks weren't proof enough of this bands complete disregard for the morality and rules of society, then this vulgar act oughta do the trick, this band does not give a flying F$@# what society thinks, they'll kick your dog and take a piss on your shoes while giving your mom the middle finger, this ain't your grandma's band that's for sure.
Nu-metal bands were the 90s version of soundcloud rappers. Xilennials will seethe relentlessly about this fact but it’s true
>Nu-metal bands were the 90s version of soundcloud rappers.
Uhh I think that's the other way around there bub
>Nu-metal bands were the 90s version of soundcloud rappers
They saved their music genres from mediocrity? True tbh
WTF I NEVER NOTICED THE LEGS I THOUGHT HE WAS STANDING LIKE A STRAIGHT GOOD GUY
HOLY SHIT DUDE HE’S MAKING CRAZY RETARD NOISES AT THE BULLET THIS SONG IS SO BADASS
GO
>SOMETHING TAKES A PART OF MEEEEE
This and their cover of word up are korn’s only good songs though
hahahah why Creed has the worst album covers ever, the most fucked up photoshop work ever in a mainstream product, hahahah the elite was just pushing fast, soulless shit on the public because is easier and more lucrative. hahaha by this time, popular art and culture is in the lowest form, how people can push this as a viable consumer product, even for a industry plant this is bad as fuck.
Yes that's literally what creed was about
is he being buried in shit?
>mfw the Indian family next door invites their relatives over
yeah it was kind of edgy. i don't understand why peabrains like OP do this. you grew up with the internet and have been completely desensitized to everything so of course you think this is lame. your average teenager in the 90s didn't have internet
I was a just a pre-teen when OP album came out and I did not think it was very edgy because I knew of shit like Cannibal Corpse already which was really like ridiculous edge, I didn't even understand their music at that time I just knew it was crazy and the album covers were scary. Korn was kind of a kiddy band and their pederast imagery always lead to people saying "Korn" means "Kiddie Porn" I recall. Manson was edgier for mainstream bands.
Yea Korn and Limp shit shared space with the teen idols, it wasn't even separated like how MTV used to have rock shows for just rock, there was only TRL and all those yahoos were coming out with audiences of lil braces wearing babies in the crowd
>Korn was kind of a kiddy band and their pederast imagery always lead to people saying "Korn" means "Kiddie Porn" I recall.
That's funny because most of these teen metal members were diddled as kids.
gen x was born 1965-1880
Yeah this is early millennial music, gen x are homosexuals too but this is clearly different (gayer).
korn are all gen X. it's a gen X band
the members are gen x but their target demo were millennials
early milliennials sure. there's still plenty of 20-somethings that liked them in the 90s and they were all gen X. they were the ones who could afford to go to shows
Korn started earlier so they may have some older fans but that wasn't when they were a big deal. Korn's peak of fame was around the era of Follow the Leader - Untouchables, that's when they were big dogs, not just "that weird dreadlock band opening for Megadeth". And the main part of their audience at that time was the 12-15 demo who were actually watching their videos alongside N Sync and Britney Spears.
>And the main part of their audience at that time was the 12-15 demo who were actually watching their videos alongside N Sync and Britney Spears.
i mean sure but they weren't the main demo at their shows. sure there were kids at their shows where it was all ages but most of the crowd was gen X. i don't know why you're being so autistic about generations
Because they weren't as big with that age group, a lot of the people who liked grunge and other metal in the 90s really hated nu-metal and if you know people in that older age group, it is very apparent they just saw it as this weird little thing. Nu metal's explosion in popularity was mostly the core Millennials who were fairly young in the late 90s-early 00s era. I'm not saying they had no fans from the older age group at all, but they are kind of a minority.
Similarly, it's like how MCR came out in 2002, but they just weren't that big of a deal compared to other shit at that time. It wasn't until 2004 that they really became a big thing, and it was with younger kids, not the older ones. If you remember that shift, you remember how different it was then too with all the little kids being into music nobody a few years older cared about, but you still saw it on MTV all the time. I didn't know a single person who liked MCR my age, it was all the middle school kids.
This. Hating/enjoying nu-metal was the biggest split between millenials and gen x musically.
As someone who had parents who were metal heads and one who was actively making music and performing in shows at the time these takes always puzzled me. I grew up listening to a little bit of everything and yes that included some nu-metal. They were in their early to mid 20's at the time but it's not some weird generational split that everyone thinks it is, not even a poser thing.
Nice made up LARP.
You homosexuals are so desperate to prove nu metal is "totally legitimate bro" when everybody who was alive and witnessed it knows it was never respected
1880
I remember a time before those pesky automobiles ruined everything
True, greatest-genners were really cringe
You darn whippersnappers don't even remember the civil war
Korn was music for teenagers. Very late Gen X at best
They had a whole South Park episode centered around them. Easily skippable
>korn gets one of the shittiest eps ever
>radiohead gets the best episode in the show up until that point and probably still a good top 5 now
Daughters of the korn, we lost
Why are you so triggered OP? Not enough real children being exploited?
Such a teen-metal thing to do
DOWN BEATING ME BEATING ME DOWN DOWN INFO THE GROOOOOUND
Korn was popular with 12 year old edgelords and kids who watched TRL
literally me
Regarding the cover, back in the day people were more excited that Todd McFarlane was behind it.
Spawn was a huge, and Image Comics was upending the DC/Marvel establishment at the time.
The subject matter wasn't really the discussion, it was more like a "we've arrived" sort of feeling.
The new culture has a foothold in the mainstream.
Yes it's edgy and yes it's cool. Your point?
It's not, you're not even from the time period. Shut up poser zoomoid. You don't even know what Surge tastes like, you never even played an Army Man game.
It's just some groovy music which is here to stay, don't be such a clown
OP is a faget
I like this one
?si=kNZgNEYhlgMm9wEB
Their most overrated song by far.
>people pretending to like nu metal in 2023
zoomers have ruined this board with post-ironic bullshit
>aging millennial seething because all the 2000s kids who grew up listening to nu metal grew up and are enjoying the music cof their childhood
lol I'm glad I've lived long enough to see millennials turning into grumpy old men.
Your time will come too, zoomkun. Remember that.
Unlike you I'm not going to be a cliché
And what exactly did millennials have? Indie rock? Alt rock? Electronic? All of those genres have been around since the 80s, even stomp clap hey was just a rip off of 70s big arena rock anthems, if anything you're just as culturally bankrupt as Gen Z.
I'm not a millennial you zoomer retard.
crunkcore and wubstep
Millennials listened to that garbage too. In fact, they were the main demographic for it. By the time zoomers gained consciousness, nu-metal was on its' way out or might've already died. At least now the majority of millennials acknowledge that that shit sucked.
Zoomers have nothing of their own. What a sad generation -- you think nu-metal is actually good.
If you're going to listen to music made by Gen X'ers, at least listen to the good stuff like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Faith No More, White Zombie, etc.
>millennials acknowledge that that shit sucked.
Millennials liked elevator music and mumble rap. Not sure if they are the best representatives of music taste. If you tell them to jump they ask how high.
>Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Faith No More, White Zombie
literally nu metal
>gatekeeping over korn
Lol you do you but this is fucking hilarious
When did I ever give you the impression that I was gate keeping retard?
Well at the very least we've established you're a massive homosexual.
>Well at the very least we've established you're a massive homosexual.
I'm not the culture-less zoomer who listens to shitty music made for braindead millennials.
Like I said, listen to good music. Nu-metal is not good music and you weren't even around for it. Fake nostalgia.
zoomer culture sucks so much ass that garbage like nu metal seems cool in comparison
What a pathetic generation. They can't help it, they know nothing else.
Music is subjective old man, I listen to nu-metal as well as a variety of other genres, I'm sorry your so far up your own geriatric ass that you start seething over younger people enjoying a music genre that neckbeard metalheads hated in the 90s, I grew up in the 2000s and a lot of the nu-metal bands were still very popular around that time, so it's not at all fair to claim it's "fake nostalgia".
That's because senile Gen xers and clueless millennials are running the entertainment industry into the ground, you idiots have zero interest in actually making anything worthwhile and would rather just get your woke bucks by pandering to a niche demographic of mentally ill individuals just to make a your rich handles happy, don't blame the young people, we're all barely well into our 20s, try using some common sense and see that problems lies with the older generations and their incompetence.
>can't listen to 50s music because you weren't around in the 50s
aww :'(
I never said that retard. I said fake nostalgia because the original claim was that zoomers grew up listening to nu-metal yet they weren't even old enough at its' peak popularity.
Also, nu-metal isn't good.
I was born in 98 and was introduced to nu-metal, grunge, Alt rock, etc. by my gen x dad, by the time I was in elementary school all the bands I listened to were still around, just because we weren't around during the peak years doesn't mean shit you turbo autist, now go back to the metal general with the rest of your ilk.
KEK. seething zoomer homosexual. only white trash was listening to nu-metal in the mid 2000s.
I live in the inner city so not very accurate, most people I knew back then listened to it too, but then again we were all kids, I bet you were the type of guy who used to type lengthy paragraphs under slipknot videos on youtube about how slipknot weren't true metal, better yet you were probably the weird fat kid who listened to cannibal corpse and cradle of filth.
i actually listened to slipknot as a kid because im not a zoomer 🙂
So did I and many other kids my age cringelennial
>"back in my day"
time for bed grandpa, don't worry I'll put some Hey Arnold on in the background so you can pretend it's 1999 all over again.
I don't just listen to metal homosexual. Grunge is my favorite genre and I like alt-rock, prog, classic rock, etc. Which is all better than fucking nu-metal. Alice in Chains absolutely shits on that entire genre. Rock music went to shit during the nu-metal era.
It's not. Nu-metal bands were influenced by them but that doesn't make them a part of the genre. It's proto-nu-metal which actual talent and good songs.
korn isn't even real music, just commercial goyslop
I always thought it was a turkey.
this might be their best
>mfw liked numetal as a kid
>still like it because of nostalgia
>dont pretend its good
fuck you shit eating retard zoomers
>i like it ironically
Okie Dokie 😀
>Uh actually I always liked it cus luh nostalgia
>Just pretended to hate it guys
Unironic poser shit
youre just mad you weren't there
teens in dreadful situations at school or home or both needed a way to drain their anger in a non- school-shooting way, guess what we have now?
Because it was a difficult time to live in, especially with drugs and all other ways to ruin your life.
I'm glad we ended drugs
Back in the day kids used to be cool, because their shit meant something.
Today's kids music literally asks people to think that they are cool. Which is cringe.
Therefore today's teens are cringe and not based.

FIGHT SOME THING YOU AHIOEHTJIOEWHIOWEHNFOIEWFJH
Fuck you zoom zooms, this blew my mind when I was 15 years old. Deal with it.
>Why was (90s) music like this?
90s was the era of being X-TREME, RADICAL, and EDGY. Looking back my regular play list looked like a school shooter's soundtrack. It was pre-columbine and a different time.
There was a brief period when drop d nu metal (including bands that went lower like korn and sevendust) was actually kind of fresh and mostly relevant among late gen x metal types, then marketers got involved, the big bands got huge and sold out, and it became middle school core
They were cringe, but still not as cringe as Limp Bizkit
Not true, Limp Bizkit were about being based and doing it for the nookie while Korn was about being cringe and crying about being diddled by daddy
I love gaming and edgy bands I am such a le 90s kid xD
Wholesome
Levels of Limp Bizkit cringe:
>singer: no words needed
>guitar: if you're into experimental sounds instead of technical ability it's a great resource
>bass: one of the best bassists out of all the mainstream nu-metal acts, second only to the mudvayne guy
>drums: one of the best and definitely the grooviest drummer in all of nu-metal
Limp Bizkit is weird, it really depends what instrument you're into to determine if you were cringe or not, any drummer or bassist worth his salt can appreciate what a great rhythm section that band had and their guitarist was very innovative at the very least. Too bad that Fred Durst is the first thing people associate with that great band.
>"Gaming for me is a religion, and haze is the shit" said jonathan davis. "I had to come up with a track that can hit up that kind of rush I get from the game and I think we really rocked it!!"
Just gamer things.
Korn is the only good numetal adjacent band. I was really into that stuff when I was 13-14 and grew out of it all quite fast but I still listen to Korn.
Korn is literally one of the most cringe nu metal bands.
youre posting on a cartoon board, bro
they all prolly love this
Hard to beat this one.
Worst nu-metal cover i have ever seen.
Imagine the thousands of people that bought this thinking it was some sort of Tibetan Buddhist music, instead what they got was some horrible nu-metal.
Korn if you got molested
SOAD if you didn't
You post about it 20 years after, it clearly did something good
2000s music era was objectively one of the best since the 80s
Lest start saying some hard truths:
>Nickelback wasn't bad
>Korn was good
>Slipknot was good
>Linkin Park's hybrid theory was a 10/10 album
>Puddles of Mudd Come Clean was solid
Also, by that time, you could listen to many different genres on radio/mtv. Like there wasnt a genre that was so dominant that everything else was just pushed to the sides.
There was great rap, metal, nu metal, indie rock, pop, and many other stuff coming out at the same time sharing an comparably decent amount of spotlight.
Madonnas 90s/00s era was the best.
>Tool released their two best albums during that single decade
>Karnivool released Themata and more importantly Sound Awake
>SOAD is at their peak
AAAAHHHHH I MUST GO BACK AAAAAHHH
>puddle of mudd
>good
no
2000s sucked, only the first half of the 90s were good, and 80s pop music paled in comparison to 70s pop.
Grunge was the last decent mainstream rock movement. There wasn't a single band afterwards that were as good as Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, or Stone Temple Pilots. Nu-metal, Post-Grunge, and Pop-Punk are some of the shittiest genres of rock music out there and the fact that they were all popular at the same time made the late 90s - 2000s the worst era for rock music. Garage rock revival and post-90s emo weren't any better.
>There was great rap, metal, nu metal, indie rock, pop,
LOL no. The good indie rock was in the 90s. The best metal came out in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Rap is a shit genre but all the decent stuff came out in the 80s and 90s. Pop music was obnoxious.
Only millennials and zoomers with rose-tinted glasses think this shit is anything good. No wonder why music has been shit for the last 25 years.
It literally doesnt compare to early 90s, which were the sequel to the 70s rock.
70s > early 90s > 80s > late 90s > 00
I don't agree with any of these opinions and they all are nonsensical
>OP hasnt realized the nostalgia curve is making this cool again
