it wasn't that bad. I can still enjoy nu shit when my buddies are listening to it. Like you said, nowadays it's half asleep jigs grunting. No one will remember this era of mainstream music fondly.
Never understood the dislike for Nu Metal. I'm not going to claim it's highest of high art, or anything like that, but given what directly followed it was "The Bands" who were all so creatively bankrupt they were all retro bands with retro costuming and retrosounds that brought nothing new to the table, and "Emo" bands who did the same thing as Nu Metal, essentially, only they were whiny drama queens about it instead of aggressive and pissed off while combining two separate genres into a new hybrid genre, actually creating something. Hell Metal or Rock fused with anything from Rap to Hip Hop to R&B to Funk and even Reggae. The most interesting thing about "Nu Metal" is how many of the bands under that label never intended to be metal of any kind, and the actual variety of genres packed under the Nu Metal label is actually quite immense with a diverse audience and set of artists before modern forced progressive/diversity was ever a thing, back then they just were diverse with female vocalists, instrumentalists, and black and brown arts under the "nu metal genre" from cultures all around the world stretching from the US and Canada to Central and South America to Europe, Russia and even Asia. Yet people acted like it was "angry white boy" music and pretended every nu metal artist was basically Fred Durst.
I'm not going to defend Limp Bizkit, I'm just pointing out the scene was vast, but somehow got watered down to, "limp bizkit white boy angry". It was a damn shame.
