I didnt listen to hair metal at the time, so I missed out on the grounding for the current nostalgiafest. It seems to me both hair and nu metal are loud and have lots of riffs: hair is a bit more playful and nu is more intense, but then wasnt the playfulness of hair and the intensity of *grunge* why everyone said hair had to die anyway? Nu is also arguably more musically interesting cos of the hip-hop elements - there are more places it could go.Both of them trade in exaggerated and absurdified masculine images - hair has queeny glam braggadocio, nu has the tats and piercings look (the masculine body warping and modifying under culture-pressure). This allows both genres to achieve moments of sudden tenderness which are more affecting because you're not expecting them (though maybe by this point you should be).The critical reaction to nu metal is fascinating - all of the old critical saws which people get jumped on here for applying to pop any more (they dont mean it! its commodified! its old hat! rich people shouldnt be angry! its just for 15 year olds!) have achieved glittering new life in the nu-metal-crit arena.Search and Destroy? No idea, mate.-- Tom, Tuesday, 26 June 2001 01:00

I just saw a TV ad for the new Korn album. Fucking hell.
At least the Deftones are still making interesting music. I never really considered them nu-metal; though they associated/toured with all those other bands I don't need to mention, they never really fit in with that crowd to me. I could easily imagine them having a record on Hydra Head, for example (which would instantly make the hipsters love 'em to bits).

Hipsters already did like Deftones. Because they were actually good.

I think nu-metal and post-hardcore have bled into each other to a degree that we have bottom-heavy screamo now, but that's about it.

Excuse me, but why this article's authors are absolutely convinced that Red Hot Chili Peppers have not to be considered nu metal inspirators? (unsigned)

I'm just glad I saw the Chaos AD tour.
Also saw Korn open for Ozzy in '95. Terrible!
