half the name on that hard rock radio report are over a decade old!

this has been the case on rock radio since the '80s tbrr

I looked at the top 10 artists on last.fm and I have to assume that these guys are the Slipknot of today:

lmao @ wikipedia page for "megalomaniac"

Lyrical interpretations
Lead singer Brandon Boyd says the song is not specifically targeting anybody - the song's meaning pertains to megalomaniacs in general with a particular emphasis on El Guapo from the American comedy film Three Amigos.[1]

Music video
The video shows images of Adolf Hitler interspersed with shots of the band and of many people who are protesting. As the video progresses, officers are sent to disperse the crowd. The speaker's podium rises very high - then it is revealed that the podium is actually a gas pump. The gas pump spurts oil over the crowd, while the main figure's head is consumed by a bald eagle and starts eating people that turned into fish.

suicide boyz is kinda on the verge i think...was trying to think of their name earlier lol

I suppose the latent audience I was thinking about was a kind of overlap between gothy self-pity and fratboy dickery, which doesn't really exist as a defined audience segment before nu-metal but has persisted since.

One of the reasons that EDM doesn't quite work is that it's eaten up the fratboy market but less so the self-pitying bit. Morose autotune rap seems to fit better in general.

(Speaking of which, does Lil Peep work here?)

It's kind of how in Britain Oasis tapped into this massive demographic that had always been there and never really coalesced around anything before, and ever since you've had this constant stream of bands aimed directly at the Oasis Fan.

lil peep might fit, but sorta the way incubus does--he's a bit too graceful. suicide boyz feels closer to the heart of it, but despite some high youtube views they aren't actually making, like, hit records

i mean, for that matter, Peep has some massive youtube records (133 mil on the biggest) but those arent even really charting singles ... suicide boyz are further. limp bizkit had HITS

I know they're not nu-metal but lol @ Blink 182 collaborating with Steve Aoki.

maybe i'm tripping though and streaming makes the 'hits' call more ambiguous. 63 mil is something

i don't really know the answer to this thread but i'd like to echo that incubus has jams

a kind of overlap between gothy self-pity and fratboy dickery

Best exemplified by Limp Bizkit’s “Behind Blue Eyes.”

Faith No More, making/inspiring the shittiest music on Earth since 1985.

fighting words

$uicideBoy$ and that whole scene.

yeah seconding $uicideboy$, that also corroborates the EDM thing by way of that producer Getter they work with a lot who also raps under the name Terror Reid.

greta van fleet

Ben Shapiro

boom

my 15 yo cousin listens to ‘knot

is country music the new nu-metal?

Cuz it has hella fratboy dickery even if it’s low on goth

I'm fairly sure that country music is the new country music but what do I know.

Are you familiar with Upchurch

Y'all wrote this whole thread and didn't say Post Malone?

Post Malone is invisible to anyone who writes about music

post malone isn't very aggro ... like aesthetically hes closer to drake in a musical sense even if image wise hes like a pretend metal head who croons about bon scott

but maybe you're right!

The new Gesaffelstein vid seems vaguely relevant to the evolution of this type of dude?
