🎸 NU METAL

Down-tuned guitars and feelings turned all the way up.

Admittedly, nu metal never really clicked with me… but my music exploration throughout 2026 has opened some new doors for me. I’ve grown to appreciate some of it, and have outright become a fan of a few select bands. I was definitely selling both System of a Down and Linkin Park short all of these years. It’s still not my favorite genre, but I definitely jam out in the car to a few of these bands.

And hey, at least it’s not butt rock.


System of a Down

Linkin Park

Deftones


Alien Ant Farm – Underrated… and the Smooth Criminal cover competes with MJ’s.

Chevelle – Several bangers!

Evanescence

Incubus – My fandom has faded, but Pardon Me still hits.

Korn – Godfathers of Nu Metal, but not my favorite tbh.

Limp Bizkit

Sevendust

Slipknot
