For a brief moment in the late 90s and early 2000s, Nu Metal ruled the airwaves. With releases such as KoRn's Follow the Leader, Limp Bizkit's Significant Other and Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory, the genre had commercial clout, but critically fared less well. However if you were a teenager at the time, nothing else felt like its white-knuckled throat-shredding catharsis. Not only that but the genre fused together many different sonic elements that previously seemed incompatible. But how did we get here? What were the vital steps along the way? And was it really all for the nookie? This is How Nu Metal Became Pop.
