Now That Nu Metal Is Making a Comeback, Let’s Admit That It Was Unduly Hated.
If any random artist or band had come forward with a style that synthesized the sounds of Mr. Bungle, Helmet, Primus, Beastie Boys, Ministry, Sepultura, Frank Zappa, George Clinton, Public Enemy, Suicidal Tendencies, Rage Against the Machine, Bad Brains and/or Living Colour, it would have been lauded as refreshingly original. And, in fact, many artists with a similar repertoire have been lauded as such recently.
Chat Pile, a band from Oklahoma City that has recently become an indie darling , has a distinct sound influenced by Korn that sounds like a logical successor to bands like Cherubs and Six Finger Satellite. Artists with pop cred such as Poppy and Rina Sawayama have also worn their nu metal influences on their sleeves, even back before it was completely fashionable to do so.
, despite playing the same night as Post Malone and Megan Thee Stallion. Fred Durst dressing as a 1970s private investigator from the Bronx somehow got social media buzzing, and just as the iron was hot, the band struck it by announcing a tour that included a set at Madison Square Garden. Since and perhaps even before then, all the hackneyed jokes about JNKO jeans, chain wallets and frosted tips seemed to dissipate.
The musical climate today is such that even the allegedly terrible nu metal bands like Limp Bizkit, P.O.D. and Mudvayne could be defended with perceived credibility. This is, of course, looking beyond the fact that bands like System of a Down and Deftones would have never received such flak, even when the nu metal shaming was at its most potent.
