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 interpretationsLead 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 videoThe 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
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 14 November 2018 06:47 (five years ago) link
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
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 14 November 2018 11:11 (five years ago) link
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.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 14 November 2018 11:13 (five years ago) link
maybe i'm tripping though and streaming makes the 'hits' call more ambiguous. 63 mil is something

a kind of overlap between gothy self-pity and fratboy dickery
Best exemplified by Limp Bizkit’s “Behind Blue Eyes.”

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.

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?
