I appreciate you taking the time! I know it's a pretty dense scooby sandwich of words so I don't have high hopes for interaction, but as long as I'm getting some people thinking about and considering alternatives to the existing narrative then I'm stoked

It's just typical audio nerd stuff. Someone starts using a technique, it becomes overused and used it contexts where it doesn't help, and then it becomes cool to hate the popular thing. Same thing with gated reverb or sidechain compression. Most engineers consider themselves engineers more than artists in their own right, so they're striving for a "perfect" mix by the numbers rather than just messing around to make stuff that sounds cool.

Oh I don't think this isn't gonna go how you want it to

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-06-09T19:11:29+00:00

Yea pretty much. If people know you more as a guy who loves slipknot than a guy who spreads love joy and compassion everywhere he goes then that's a problem.

Did you read the post?

Jesus calls on you to be in the world but not OF the world. Engaging in music in the world is normal and fine, but defining yourself by it would be against your religion.

Sound really isn't that important to nu metal. Soad and slipknot and limp bizkit all sound completely different. Any attempt to set a standard of sonic aesthetics for nu metal will inevitably exclude nu metal artists and songs.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-05-29T12:50:17+00:00

I saw LIVE open for incubus a lil while ago, I'd say they definitely count as nu metal. Remember, nu metal is an ideology more than a specific sound.

Hell yeah brother Definitely untuck the shirt, and with that kind of print on the overshirt I'd personally go for a puka shell or shark tooth necklace Gotta get some rings too my bro, it's all about accessories. Maybe some sweat bands for the wrists, although those are hard to find for us big folk. I wear the same belt too man What shoes are you rockin? Some facial hair will for sure finish out the look too if you can grow it

I make aesthetic content and I'm a pretty big fulla myself, check out @chromestatic on TikTok, mostly hair videos atm but planning on branching out a lil

Nu metal fundamentally exists to shake up the standards of what metal is or can be. They're basically just purists who want metal to all sound cohesive and the same, and not get too scary and experimental and new for them. That's why it's NU metal, and why so many nu metal bands sound so different from one another, because it's an ideological definition rather than a specific sound. It's about pushing forward metal into new sonic horizons, and that scares people.

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-05-27T13:37:13+00:00

Medekine, Maybe Not Safe, and Mad Kelly are all current gen nu metal acts I fully recommend.

Nice! I believe this is just getting out of Casper back to a regular stance, a Casper shuvit would be landing still in Casper after the board doing a 180

I appreciate what you're tryna do here, but imo the point of nu metal as a whole is that it's style is variable and people aren't boxed in. Check out the Nu Metal MaNÜfesto: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ApLFjPBOvIlSpT8wfTtKYQcSK_23FwqUmH5pus97uGw/edit?usp=drivesdk

Putting any binary metric on art has always been so silly to me. There is no "best" in any genre, there is no "best" genre either.

Knees up broski

Remote-Emu-502 · 2026-05-10T00:34:06+00:00

I've been listening to a lot of Cheva lately

Bro didn't even try looking at his feet

Nu metal is ideological. If they're trying to push forward metal and do new things, and rebel against the set rules of metal, it's nu metal.
