I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.
Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?
I love that people hate on them and try to hold them down. They were a massive band. Look at their collaboration, everyone wanted to be on there. They were pure rage.
Just because they were big for a couple years doesn’t mean they produced anything of value. Angsty music for middle class white boys is nothing special.
You should really look up woodstock 99 and see the lineup. They headlined the whole show. Doing music with Emenim, Wu-Tang, and Korn, all 90s and 00s icons. Fred Durst help out staind and puddle of mudd. You might not like them but you can’t ignore what theu brought to music.
I was in highschool when they came on the scene. I’m well aware of Woodstock 99. Nothing you said counters my point. Looking back they didn’t belong in the same breath as the other bands you listed except puddle of mudd.
Tell me which one of these bands had the most influence. Also what does race have to do with it?
Records sold doesn’t = valuable music, culturally. Blink 182 was huge they didn’t make a lasting impact on music.
It’s ok if you like limp Bizkit but stop pretending like they made meaningful music. Next you’ll be comparing them to the Beatles.
nirvana, tupac, and rage against the machine all had something meaningful to be raging about
limp bizkit was just misogynistic bro music
I feel limp bizkit was the end off a period of rage. All the pent up anger that was put into just fuck shit up.
Side note. People really hate Limp Bizkit.

It’s not even hate, I listened to their music, but I never thought they were great music. I read a lot of books mostly litrpg, I’ll never pretend they are great literature but it’s enjoyable, fast food books. Limp Bizkit is fast food music.
I wouldn’t say pure rage… They were certainly high energy but not super focused on being angry. This may in part be due to Fred Durst adding major frat boy vibes.
I have no idea what they’re like these days.
Funny since Durst was a tattoo artist before starting the band. Kinda the opposite of frat boys.
