which do you think is hated the most, Nu Metal or Post Grunge?
Post-grunge and deservedly so. As I’ve written about before most post-grunge music is bad by design - basically Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains variations with the integrity vacuumed out - whereas nu-metal comes from a place of genuine musical ambition, an aspiring towards something not yet done in music vs post-grunge’s rigid adherence to the tried and true. If someone can mount a convincing agenda for post-grunge, man, I’d love to hear it.
how many submissions do you usually get in a day? how often do you post submissions? Also love your efforts in spreading teh nu-metal agenda! keep it up!
Honestly, not sure. My Twitter DMs are an interstate pileup that I only peer into occasionally but I’ll tell you what I wish I got more new bands sent my way because the ones I do discover tend to kick total ass. I post Twitter submissions still from time to time but am much more regular about the Discord ones, which you should join it’s a lot of fun. Finally, thank you!
So we all know the rule that bands that say they aren’t nu metal is a sign that they’re nu metal. However, is the inverse true? Are there any bands that say they ARE nu metal that you don’t feel fit the genre?
Ha. Oh man good one. Not sure I can answer this one yet. I can actually think of a small few but I can’t throw people off the boat now! As far as I’m concerned, at this moment, if you say you’re nu-metal you’re nu-metal.
Do you think with the NMA pushing Nu Metal to the fullest, That we can bring this genre back to mainstream? Like having Nu Metal albums back on Charts
I think the test would be for an up and coming nu-metal band, and I mean one that just flat out says “we are nu-metal,” to get an album in the top 100 which I really don’t think is impossible at all. Also look for nu-metal influences to start cropping up in big hit pop songs, if the LA songwriting machine hasn’t caught wind of this yet they’re about to.
you got a sneaky link?
