Slipknot
fpbp
I was there
Linkin Park too but they were popular with everyone
Archers Of Loaf
Can vouch.
Korn, maybe?
slipknot, korn, system of a down, limp bizkit & linkin park if you consider them metal i guess
Metal has never been popular in my country, so for me it's more question of
>You know the handful of weird kids who listened to metal? What bands did they like?
and the answer was this:
I would add Rage Against the Machine to that.
I fucking LOVED Linkin Park at the time. Hybrid Theory was the first CD I ever owned.
I distinctly remember seeing Korn and Rammstein logos scratched into school desks.
My friends tried to get me into SoaD, and for a long time it was too heavy for me, but they eventually succeeded. I remember showing my younger cousins some SoaD and Sum 41 music videos on a cathode ray PC monitor. I was still on dial-up modem; the videos had been recorded from TV and shared at LANs. Primitive but soulful.
First two of my faves from back then that spring to mind:
This is the answer. Linkin Park was maybe the most popular “hard” band at the time.
Linkin Park came out a little later and blew their less polished and marketed peers away. Almost like they were planted…
HIM or bmth or mcr or Ghost. Probably.
Your timeline is all jacked up dude
Yeah I was thinking it might be. When did they get going? Late 2000s? Korn, limp biscuits, system of a down, tool, green day, foo fighters, avenged seven fold, five finger death punch, gallows, disturbed, fear factory?
nono, he's kinda right, at least with HiM.
Those were my junior high/high school years, and every. single. one. "alt" girl had the fucking hearthagram patch somwehere on their clothes or bag.
Also Rammstein were huge, but it might be a local thing, Poland will assimilate anything from German pop culture.
Yeah maybe HIM but BMTH didn't come out until the mid 2ks, mcr isn't metal and ghost is like 2014 or someshit
>ghost is like 2014 or someshit
That seems unlikely.
Ghost's second album us what put them on. Which was released in 2013. They are trash anyways
I wouldn't call HIM a metal band.
You right and
is all the way wrong
The myspace metal years ont supposer.
tie between slipknot and linken park
SEPULTURA
If your definition of metal loose enough:
>Slipknot
>Korn
>Coal Chamber
>SOAD
>Rammstein
>Disturbed
>Dimmu Borgir
>Lamb of God
>Mudvayne
Probably more, but these were some of the popular ones among the mall goths of that era
Oh yeah, I forgot to add TOOL to that list. Maybe even Deftones, though they aren't really metal.
Korn. I remember in art class almost every male student painted their album covers
Yeah. My compatriots were doing this actually. I'd moved on to other things by then.
Charlieposter did nothing wrong
word
LULZ needs more lists of good albums
ac/dc
metallica
Anon, that's the 90s.
Slipknot, Metallica
where I lived it was Korn, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park; followed by SOAD and Slipknot
If I had to pick one, definitely Linkin Park. I remember one shitty webcomic, having characters from different high school cliques arguing if LP was rap or metal, lol. Funny times.
It was Slipknot, Tool and Metallica.
I dunno, you tell me.
slipknot
Korn
Linkin Park
Slipknot
Metallica
Limp Bizkit (circa 2000 - 2002, then fell off)
Children of Bodom
Slipknot
Korn
Slipknot undeniably. Probably the biggest metal band since Metallica, and the last one to reach such big audiences.
wba bmth currently
Does BMTH even play metal anymore?
yes lmao. they made songs with mgk, ed sheeran and the astronaut in the ocean guy
Sad state of affairs. Always been a fan of Count Your Blessings.
All those people you named dont play metal at all.
I'd say Avenged Sevenfold reached just as big of audiences a little later, and had a very similar career trajectory to Metallica.
>Larping as a teen in the 20pps as a sad 27 Year Old Virgin
Lmao
Why are you upset?
Why would I be upset at you larponf as a 12 year old in 2000 as a 27 Year Old Loser? It's upsett-ing ig but more in a sad for you sort of way.
I’m sorry for whatever happened to you.
I got into nu-metal in 2008 or something
slipknot
korn
limp bizkit
pantera
marilyn manson
chevelle
disturbed
slipknot or linkin park
tool was pretty big in the early 00's you would see someone wearing a tool shirt nearly everywhere
easily Linkin Park
they had an audience range from sports guys to mall goths
if OP doesnt count LP then def was SOAD
they had this strange audience range too
How has there been and who was responsible for a renewed interest in nu-metal? It was the gayest, fakest "metal," ever. How anyone hasn't ever realized Slipknot are just a giant rip off of every other already gay nu-metal band, just on steroids, I don't understand.
Also it's my belief that corey taylor singer guy is one of those people who simply got lucky and was in the right place at the right time. Without that though, he'd just be some low-intelligence white trash hick.
Why do you think homosexual? Nostalgia, obviously. But I'm not really seeing what you're talking about that much.
it’s just the 20 year rule in effect
I would only really call self titled a nu metal album. Iowa was just pretty good groovy nwoahm album imo it barely counted as nu metal depending where you draw the line(turntable scratching makes it a bard call though). They've been trash since Iowa everything else is garbage.
>gayest
no, you're thinking of Manowar
Listen to mate.feed.kill.repeat and come back here. They were way more mr.bungle influenced than anyone else.
It really wasn't. It was hated by critics at the time for largely stupid reasons. I used to think so in Highschool because muh Limp Bizkit Music lol not real Metal and tbf I still love Black Metal but Pre)Things One Album,Dope,Nonpoint,POD,and Kittie are all p solid. It aged a lot better than most early 2000s music has which tbf I guess isn't saying much but I think that it was mostly just not what previously existed and people hated ot for that reason.
>slipknot
>archers of loaf
>korn
>system of a down
>limp bizkit
>linkin park
>him
>bring me the horizon
>my chemical romance
>rage against the machine

not metal
>fear factory
>ghost
>metallica
not early 2000s
the actual answer is Mastodon
question was about your typical high schooler, not fat neckbeard nobody liked, listened to
>so mad he accidentally a word
positive, am very mad
>r typical high schooler, n
This is not mentioned what so ever in the first upload.
> What metal band was the most popular among middle schoolers/high schoolers?
Yeah, I guess way more kids listened to Mastodon than fucking Linkin Park lol
linkin park isn't a metal band, so they don't count
Mastodon isn't either lol
oh you trollin
blink 182 was more popular than any of them
I remember hearing Disturbed and Drowning Pool a lot.
As I Lay Dying / Trivium / August Burns Red were the gold standard when I was in high school in the late 2000s
Big metalcore era
Fear Factory were probably at their height in the early 2000s. They just start to tail off, by the look of it, into the decade. They filled out a massive venue. FF were popular in the early 2000s for that type of music. And it is that their audience had expanded since their mid 1990s breakthrough.
>les verifier
The none more metal debate is a different thing entirely. DEICIDE or Cannibal Corpse then, one of the two.
They're not that very metal, that I know of. Manson, alt rock.
avenged sevenfold and shitty scenecore
thats late 2000s
i managed to convert my metal friends in high school to Elder enjoyers
