For you, maybe.

 

The fact that Albe is annoyed by this should be a sign to you guys that you're maybe not on the right side of this argument.

Come join the winning team.

 

yeah I don’t know why but a month or two ago I was thinking about how Papa Roach’s “Last Resort” still goes hard so I pulled up that album and every other song sucks lol

 

Deftones and Incubus have great discographies though

 

bangers from start to finish. No skips.

 

Nope. "Broken Home", "Dead Cell", "Never Enough", "Thrown Away", all great old school nu-metal jams. Some of the lyrics on "Revenge" or "Snakes" are cheesy, but I chalk that partially to those being older cuts they rerecorded for the album.

 

That Papa Roach album is solid, same with the follow-up

 

Being fully serious about this, nu-metal probably saved my life. It sounds weird to say, but those bands and sound found me in a really dark and depressing time of my life and if I didn't have that shit as an outlet, I don't know if anything else would've hit me in the same way. So if I get overly defensive, that's why.

 

Broken home is a good song

 

There's a lot of bad nu metal but there's also a lot of bad music in every genre if you're only a casual listener.

 

Even the cheesiest nu-metal can still be a ton of fun. I love the band From Zero and I will be the first to admit their lyrics are nonsense, but it still rocks. First album more than the second.

 

I’m a nu-metal fan and there’s absolutely some unlistenable and not nu-metal (see: Seether, Darwin’s Waiting Room)

 

Absolutely and entertainingly wrong. Not nu-metal for one, but post-grunge, and one of the better ones.

 

Gonna say no on that one and leave it at that. Absolute ass.

 

Listen, you don't have to be this hard on yourself. I recognize this is the unpopular opinions thread.

 

Totally fair!

 

yeah... albe rules

 

This is a dumb question but is there such a thing as a modern grunge band? Or is anything that would have been classified as grunge back in the day now called post-grunge?

If they're two different things, I'm not really sure what the difference is

 

I would consider something like Superheaven to be a modern grunge band.

To me, the post in post grunge isn't an indication of time, just as I believe the post in post hardcore is also not that.

What makes a band post grunge to me is a clearer commercial viability. The concept of taking the sound or select principles of grunge and applying it to an increasingly accessible format.

Naturally, your mileage may vary on who would fall into this descriptor, but I personally think the less obviously commercial you are, the more you fall out of being post grunge and just become straight grunge.

 

in this case it’s believable for everyone except Ross and Chandler. You know they had jobs that expected them there at 8am lol

 

Post-Grunge I associate with a specific sound. Most like a commercialized soulless sanitized version of Grunge. Like Godsmack or something.

I think most bands or artists nowadays who are trying to do an authentic Grunge sound are usually just categorized with the blanket "indie rock" label.

 

now that i’m older (and part data scientist / earth scientist) all the ross and chandler work-hate on the show hits too close to home

 

Feel like this is unnecessary. Something can be commercial and geared for radio play and still mean something.

 

Let me be mean towards Godsmack Pen
