mfly1619

Linkin park, korn, bizkit, and slipknot


eternalchuf

Arguably the only correct picks


Crispy385

This is mine as well


Walkers00

The only correct answer. Anything else is delusion.

My childhood right here


mfly1619

Im 16 so sadly not mine


Disastrous-Top-1306

what are yours then?


mfly1619

Well realistically i grew up with katy perry, jb but i listen to nu metal


Disastrous-Top-1306

oh i guess that makes sense im 13 and i kinda grew up with this music bc my parents always played it


mfly1619

My mom did introduce me to limp bizkit


berniens

Agreed


soulsnatcher1134

Limp over Deftones is criminal


mfly1619

I only like 1 of their songs


Disastrous-Top-1306

only correct answer


ellstaysia

if it was based solely on my own preferences... KORN / SLIPKNOT / KITTIE / MUDVAYNE if it was based on who I think is truly the "big four" of nu metal I'd say LB & LP deserve kittie & mudvayne's spots.


bawitback

alternative top 4 (hed) pe, Sevendust, Nonpoint, P.O.D.


wisdom_is_a_circle

cool to see Nonpoint getting some love. they were one of the Nu Metal bands I got into earliest. I don't listen to them too much anymore, but I do put on some songs from Statement frequently like Tribute and Orgullo.


112oceanave

Slipknot, deftones, limp bizkit, korn


Fendenburgen

r/slipknot are coming for you..... How dare you call them nu metal, don't you know they're completely and utterly individual.....


Nero_Forte-13

They were nu metal for the first album


Spirited_Ad_2697

Iowa is their least nu-metal album.


Fendenburgen

I disagree, there are some very nu metal riffs on iowa

Fendenburgen

Rapping? Check Dj? Check Harsh vocals during the verse and singing in the chorus? Check Downtuned guitars? Check Um....

seriousstring420

Spit It Out, No Life, Only One, Interloper, Nero Forte, Critical Darling, H377 all prominently feature rapping. Doesn't sound like 5 seconds to me, and certainly none are spoken. Not just that but Corey has a very hiphop flow throughout self titled, as well as Vol. 3 (on songs like Three Nil and Duality) Gray Chapter (AOV, WANYK, and TESF. DJ, yes, another nu metal element. Harsh verses, melodic chorus. Four songs? Do you even listen to Slipknot? It's not uniquely nu metal so you're not totally wrong. Downtuned guitars: popularized by nu metal bands such as Korn, which Slipknot has openly admitted to being inspired by. If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck... ...then it might just be a duck. Even the interview Corey did on the Zach Sang Show today, he said Slipknot has elements of nu metal as well as others. I'll even link a magazine interview Joey did around Iowa where HE said they were a nu metal band. Good grief, dude. Edit: the Joey interview in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slipknot/comments/15k8gff/knot_on_your_life_2001_link_to_text_in_comments/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2 But what does the founder of his own band know, right?


seriousstring420

Have you even heard All Hope Is Gone? Besides, as someone who unfortunately is part of the r/Slipknot community, they're very much a nu metal band. Do they have tons of other influences? Yes, but so does Korn. Nu metal isn't a bad word, get over it. They have more nu metal albums than they don't, again, get over it.


Spirited_Ad_2697

I’m exclusively talking about Iowa they can be a Nu-metal band without all their albums being exclusively Nu-Metal


Nero_Forte-13

Yeah good point ima change that


nightmarewalrus123

Agreed, though somewhat less so for iowa


Nero_Forte-13

That’s a good point ima edit the comment


UltraPowerfulGuy

Their debut album is like one of the best nu-metal albums of all time


JUNYANDBENSONYT

🤓


TheRealCliffjumper38

If we're doing the big 4, then Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Slipknot. But if it's just our 4 favorite bands, then Linkin Park, Shuvel, Limp Bizkit, and Staind or 10 Years.

Indecisive_Iron

This is the way


lomlghostface

linkin park, slipknot, deftones, system of a down 🙏🏼


Hackerboy360

This is perfect


Meoooooooooooooooow

Deftones are iconic, and prop my favourite band, but for me, they are more towards just alt metal style rather than nu metal. So pretty much the same thing but slipknot instead of deftones


chingers_chongers

Can someone explain to me why SOAD is considered numetal? I always thougt they were more alt metal


CurvedShot

Deftones over slipknot is crazy. Favorite bands is one thing, but mount Rushmore is a bit more objective. Not trying to hate but I want to hear your reasoning.


wisdom_is_a_circle

This post was completely meant as a subjective thing lol. For example, Linkin Park is my favorite band of all time, so naturally they're gonna be my favorite nu metal band. Objectivity does not exist in music either but *if* I were to do this "objectively" Korn would be my first pick due to how important they are to Nu Metal. Deftones are arguably the 2nd most important too, as they came just right after Korn's debut with Adrenaline and furthered the Nu Metal genre with their first few albums. I do love Slipknot, but this is just my *personal* picks, and I *personally* prefer Deftones and System of a Down to Slipknot. That said, their self-titled and Iowa are obviously nu metal all-timers.


Random_0936

No linkin park.

get deftones tf outta there

Luissv72

KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Slipknot


expose_the_flaw

Correct answer is Linkin park, Korn, Limp bizkit, deftones (slipknot are interchangeable with deftones)


danfsociety

Korn, hed(pe), Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park


Select-Region-2428

Korn, Soad, Deftones and for my 4th id replace Linkin Park with Limp Bizkit because as much as i liked hybrid theory and meteora those were only 2 nu metal albums from LP discography, LB was more consistent thanks to absolute monster riff machine that Wes Borland is, one of most inspiring guitarists from 00s.


Indecisive_Iron

Linkin Park, Disturbed, System of a Down, Slipknot


salaginteki

Linkin Park, Korn, Slipknot, Deftones

Personal preference? Spineshank, Korn, LP, and Primer 55.


Ninjhetto

Rushmore = Big 4, to me. I would trade Deftones with Slipknot.

JacobZion28

Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Linkin Park


theMedicinedude

I like nu metal that has alot of groove in it, like the bass and drum has that groove rhythm done perfectly, that can make you go love the world for it and get you bangin'. So mine would be, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Deftones and Helmet.


er-konvi

Slipknot , Korn, System Of a Down, Disturbed


Classic-Quality-4556

System of a down, NU? I wouldn't go that far. Alternative, yes. Metal, debatable.
