So I friend if my sisters posted a song by Limp Bizkit on her facebook wall, and I wonder what it was that I ever liked about them in Middle School. I only ever bought their first album "Three Dollar Bills Y'alls", every after just seemed to be more of the same. So while cringing to the uploads from youtube of Limp Bizkit songs, I wikied this band to see whatever in the Hell happened to them. I noticed the titles of their first three albums, and upon closer inspection I noticed their homosexual innuendo's
"Three Dollar Bills Y'alls" (Ever heard the expression "As queer as a three dollar bill"?)
"Significant Other" (A polite way of calling someone your same-sex life partner.)
"Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" (chocolate starfish is another word for anus, could hot dog flavored water possibly be another way of saying semen?)

You are forgiven for liking Limp Bizket if you were in middle school.
Fred Durst is a tool.

That does about sum it up doesn't it? A friend of mine called him the "white Puff Daddy" which fits as well too. LB was on the frontlines of what I consider one of the worst times in "rock" music period. Everyone was crying about their childhood or rapping (horribly might I add) over tired riffs. There were many rules broken during that time...
1.) There is no whining in metal/rock.
2.) There should NEVER be a DJ in a rock/metal band.
3.) Rap and Rock should always be seperated.
Post grunge music was a really annoying time. But the suburban kids at it up time and time again. Especially the ones angry at their parents for no damn reasons whatsoever.

Agreed on all points accept for Rage Against the Machine. They were okay. But they were the exception in my opinion.
Red Hot Chili Peppers can be given alot of credit for the rap/rock thing.

Let's not forget Anthrax and their little contribution to rock and rap, entitled
I'm The Man, and their tour with Public Enemy and their little onstage bash with that band,
Bring The Noise. I got to see that one back in 1991 or '2 and it was pretty decent.
Fred Durst has to be one of the biggest morons to ever front a so-called "rock" band. I'm so glad that nu-metal is pretty much forgotten now. That is all.
In high school, I listened to a lot of this 'nu-metal.' Korn, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, Kid Rock. Of them, Kid Rock seems to be the most successful still. The rest are kinda having smaller audiences.

Anthrax is awesome. Beastie Boys were apart of that rap/rock thing. Aerosmith and Run DMC had that song, too.
People coming of age in the 90's can be forgiven for getting into the rap/rock thing. It's okay. But it was an unfortunate phase in popular music that I'm very glad is over.
Sure, you can bring up little high-water marks here and there where some halfway decent things were done, but for the most part it was a crap phase that ran it's course. I think Linkin Park was the last big breakout band of that sub-genre and I thought they were crap too. I think in 5 or ten years people will look back on that part of the 90's and laugh.
I think it's crap but I liked it damnit. There's lots of genres of music that are crap. People used to like Leif Garrett, just like people now like Justin Bieber. Doesn't make it good, and it doesn't necessarily make them wrong for liking it.
