The turn-of-the-millenium nu-metal craze and its sudden implosion is also fascinating as a trend. To be sure, trends change so it was inevitable, but one contributing factor I've heard is post-9/11 radio censorship in the U.S., which pushed a lot of DJs into swapping the nu-metal out for more uplifting stuff, which is what brought us Creed and Nickelback (their breakthrough album being released, coincidentally, on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001). And while nu-metal was still popular, the DJs were tired of hearing it anyways so it was an opportunity to dump the genre into the bin. By the mid-2000s it was dead and then the record stores collapsed. Linkin Park was probably the most successful nu-metal band of that era to transition through the crash.


nah creed and nickelback were already mega popular before 9/11

the old spooky kid 80s goth pop-influenced nu-metal of the mid to late 90s was already on the way out after limp bizkit got huge, but the wise decision of bands like godsmack and three doors down to go full rah rah jingosim kept the rest of that stuff alive a few years longer than it would have otherwise

He could've been in a boy band if he wanted to.

speaking of that was the rumor when they first started that they were put together by their label like a boy band

for a time linkin park replaced limp bizkit as the representative for everything formulaic and laughable about nu-metal

Well, "Contemporary Christian" basically means "whatever was popular 5 years ago" so it's pretty nebulous.

nah it's a more specific thing than what you're thinking of, stuff like hillsong and michael w smith

and what I think Corey Taylor calls the new wave of American heavy metal (Slipknot, Disturbed, Godsmack, etc).

new wave of american heavy metal was stuff like lamb of god/shadows fall/killswitch engage/trivium/etc.

I'd consider all of those rock bands, not post grunge at all. I've always heard it used to describe bands like Nickelback, Creed and 3 Doors Down - poppy anthemic hard rock I guess.

I think your singer has to sound like a lovely Eddie Vedder to really be post grunge.

yeah pretty much. post-grunge is all the yarling bands foisted on the public starting in the mid-90s once the labels settled on a formula

Metallica's live shows these days are not incredible, at least from videos I've seen. James was never a "good" singer but what he had used to work, now it doesn't. and Lars has gotten worse. they sound like they don't rehearse.

they've been streaming their pre-show warmups lately and sometimes they're basically a jukebox and other times they sound like a bunch of nervous kids doing metallica covers at their 8th grade talent show

e: there was a pretty funny one where eddie money randomly wanders in the room and tells old man stories

if it sounds like at least 50% of the band's wardrobe consists of affliction tees, it's post-grunge
