Most rap metal sucked, but even though I don't like his newer country stuff, I think Kid Rocks Devil Without A Cause is still a pretty good album, especially the title track.

TAPROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! Holy shit, I totally just recovered a memory of seeing Taproot live. I don't remember where, and I don't remember with whom, but I saw a f***ing Taproot concert. They closed with "Poem".

Ugh, this thread reminds me I bought a copy of Limp Bizkit's "New Old Songs", which easily marks the darkest point of my entire life. Even at 25, nothing beats that.

I can't speak for the genre as a whole... but at a certain point, I wanted more. I wanted solos again, I wanted singing.. not rapping. So I dove into stuff like Blind Guardian, Amorphis, Sentenced and Katatonia.
These days, I still remember the nu-metal years fondly as a sweet nostalgia trip. In fact, I have entire Spotify playlists dedicated to what I listened to in specific years of my life. I just like to revisit it from time to time

We can hate on Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and Disturbed all we want.
But there was also bands like Nothingface, 40 Below Summer, Sw1tched, Ill Nino, OneSideZero, Pressure 4-5 as well.... nu-metal wasn't complete crap, just that... like all music... the crap rises to the top.

Now I'm thinking of when WWE spammed the hell out of Limp Bizkit back in the early 2000s. Now they spam f***ing Flo Rida.
Only nu-metal I actually listen to these days is some of Papa Roach's older stuff like "Last Resort". Like Linkin Park, they grew up and changed their direction to alternative rock. Although their latest and new album that comes out soon does have some rap elements as well as elements from other genres. Didn't Limp Bizkit release a new album a while ago that was nu-metal... In the 2010s?

In the 2010s? Honestly I don't think Limp Bizkit should ever change. They are the definitive Nu-Metal band people bring up when discussing Nu-Metal. Plus they don't have the reputation to strive away from the genre by doing something different like Slipknot, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach, Mudvayne, Staind, and possibly even Marilyn Manson (with the positive buzz he's getting from his new album & 3rd day of a 7 day binge being his best single in a decade possibly giving him a career resurgance). They should just do the Korn route and just stick to doing what they do best and doing it unapologetic. They'll never have a massive fanbase like they did in the 90's but they always have a solid semi large loyal fanbase and they'll stick out more for being the undisputed Kings of Nu-Metal and one of the few active Nu-Metal bands on the market.

Only bands I ever really cared about that might be considered "nu-metal" are Deftones and Chevelle. Deftones still put out great albums and Chevelle sounded just different enough to distinguish them from their other peers in my opinion.

Please tell me Jonathan Davis isn't still whining about High School. He's gotta be 45 by now. Maybe it's still real to him, dammit.

I can't speak for the genre as a whole... but at a certain point, I wanted more. I wanted solos again, I wanted singing.. not rapping. It's funny that you implicitly contrasted nu-metal with classic heavy metal, since I remember seeing a documentary on heavy metal, and a nu-metal fan attested that the reason why he became such a big fan of nu-metal is because it lacked the Satanic imagery and symbolism that is characteristic of a lot of heavy metal. Needless to say, the guy was took said imagery and symbolism way too literally (Probably because he took the symbols of his Christian faith at face value and assumed that metal bands were using them in the same fashion). I bring his testimony up because the apparent lack of blasphemous imagery and lyrics may have enticed people into giving nu-metal a chance that they would never accord to other genres of metal. As for why said people gave up on it, maybe they felt compelled to gravitate toward Christian Rock or to cease listening to rock altogether. Perhaps nu-metal turned most of them on to Christian Rap... Who knows?

I think a lot of the individuals involved with the nu-metal movement grew up as well. There's no way Jonathan Davis, Fred Durst, Corey Taylor, Lajon Witherspoon, etc were going to remain as hungry, angry, and rebellious after making an ass of money with their music. Dee Snider said it best during Twisted Sister's peak.
"I am sitting out in the sun, living in a mansion, and having two to three brand new cars trying to write the next angry anthem. And I couldn't think of a word because I couldn't have been happier."
Plus with the emergence of bands like Coheed and Cambria, Alter Bridge, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, Lamb of God, and Trivium it just managed to marginalize nu-metal into being irrevelent to a degree.

Nu metal was so bad an uninspired. I kinda hate myself for liking it as a teen.
