Maybe it was MTV, but I recall that one point a few years ago (maybe more?) there was a huge hype about this new hybrid of music that was going to revolutionize genres. Most of it was crap, though I do admit nodding along to some KoRn in my time.

Still. How times change.

It was never going to last, thank fuck. I remember hating it, but being fairly certain that at least it was a horror trend I could just ride out.
Any genre where Korn are considered innovators and trend-setters will surely enjoy a fairly swift decline into laughing stock status, no?

i'm trying very hard to forget nu-metal, thanks...

I wish the user Trashcan Heart had internet this month. He'd be all over this thread.

NU METAL WAS GOING TO SAVE UUUUUUUUUSSSSSSS.

I hope he didn't genuinely believe that. Who could be so delusional?
