1999 gen z here. We didn't "discover" pop punk or nu-metal. That stuff was all over the radio in the 2000's when we were young kids (and still gets played, though not as much on variety channels) Back before tiktok was a thing, all the edgy kids still loved pop punk, emo, and or nu-metal. Alternative rock genres never stopped being something that teens like.
While I agree that alternative rock never stopped being something that the youth likes, it was definitely a smaller demographic that cared for it 5-10 years ago when rap was at the height of its popularity. Alternative culture had switched to sub genres of rap for a while but now it seems the pendulum has started to swing in the other direction towards guitar based music again. I wish I would have made this video right now because the stats for music consumption by genre shows Country and Rock have seen a huge increase in the last year where as Hip-Hop has seen a decline. It would have further helped my point(s) in this video.
@@DestinyAwaits19 Alternative/Grunge Rock is my favorite. I enjoy Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Groove Metal and Nu-Metal as well. Some industrial too but it’s not something I usually go out of my way to listen too.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and as a millennial, y’all are an interesting generation to research on and observe what’s going on from a far. You guys are doing great things!
I don’t think Gen Z revived Nu-Metal, instead I think Gen Z just sees Millennial music culture as just one big thing. Whether it’s Nu-Metal/Rap Metal, Alt Metal, Post Grunge, Alt Rock, Club Rap, Crunk Rap, 00’s Dance PoP, Post Hardcore, PoP Punk, Emo, Crunkcore, 00’s Metalcore, 00’s Deathcore, or Indie music as all just one big thing. We don’t live in an era of original media anymore, we live in a very Post Modern, Recycled, and Fragmented media world today. Gen Z seem to think Nu-Metal/Rap Metal and PoP Punk/Emo are just a similar thing, when it’s anything but, if you’re an older Millennial born in the 80’s these different music fanbases and cultures fucking hated each other when they were teenagers and 20 somethings. Us Nu-Metal fans fucking despise the Emos. Guys dressing up like girls, what the fuck, just pure cringe the Emo/PoP Punk/Crunkcore shit was. But we forget how old you have to have been in order to see Nu-Metal during its popularity from 1997 to 2003. The kids that saw the popularity of Nu-Metal were born between 1983 to 1987, that are now in their late 30’s and hitting 40 now. The kids that liked Nu-Metal during its popularity are the Kyle stereotype, those that drink a lot of Red Bull and Monster Energy, watched Jackass, watched Wrestling, Boxing or MMA, and was into watching the XGames and Monster Jam, wears a lot of sports jerseys. Had pent up aggression. And They might’ve even had a poster of Sarah Michelle Gellar on their walls. They were somewhere in between The Jock and The Stoner in school, not popular enough to be the cool Jock as they liked sport but weren’t in shape enough to play it, but not quite the Stoner either. That was/is the quintessential Nu-Metal fan, and that pretty much almost sums me up as well. Just I weren’t born in the mid 80’s, I was born in the mid 90’s. But Gen Z take these Millennial era music genres and just think it’s all one big thing.
As a gen z fan of rap metal I have to say that I like it, it seems great and it's not like shit popular music among people my age if one day you want to listen to good rapcore listen to insolence or hed pe or even biohazard is cool
I was born in 1992 and that describes me also pretty accurately. I couldn't stand emo music or fashion when it was popular in mid to late 2000's, the time i was a teenager. I got into music earlier than most, started watching MTV when i was only 8. That was the year 2000, exactly when Limp Bizkit, Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park and P.O.D were EVERYWHERE. First got into Linkin Park, later grew out of it but Korn, Deftones and Slipknot are still among my biggest favorites to this day.
@@PoopilussMcDoopiluss I like both of them! Amira has more of a contemporary approach to it but still grounded in the OG roots of the genre at the same time. Ally is reminiscent of Flyleaf but still really talented. There’s definitely a revival right now with Nu Metal, Shoegaze and Grunge.
i like the fact that my generation "revived" nu-metal and other genres but it kinda annoys me when people know only the most popular songs of most popular bands, korn is an example i love love love korn, they're one of my favorite nu-metal bands ever but it annoys me when people only know y'all want a single i appreciate the fact that other people love one of my favorite bands but korn has a very large discography, so i would really like if people listened to other great songs made by them i mean, it's okay if you got into them with that song but try to listen to other songs please i'm petty i know, but they have so many great songs
All of Korn's first 4 albums are gold. I'm not Gen Z i'm a millennial but aside of the big ones like Korn and Slipknot, i'm also big fan of Deftones, Mudvayne, Spineshank, Soulfly and Primer 55 to name a few.

@@SLEAZEBAGJONES What's your favorite genre of music dude? Are you a metalhead? You into thrash, industrial?

@@SLEAZEBAGJONES I started out on ACDC and Led Zeppelin but then moved into the heavier stuff. Ministry is pretty good. You should check them out.
Love this analysis also you totally clocked me with the list of genres we (gen z) grew up on
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and as a millennial, y’all are an interesting generation to research on and observe what’s going on from a far. You guys are doing great things!
@@SLEAZEBAGJONES Gen Z are not the millennials gen Y are
@@atvena I was trying to say that I’m a millennial
@@SLEAZEBAGJONES oh right my bad
@@atvena you’re good no worries 😌
Nu Metal never died in my millennial heart.
I stand by that entirely as a millennial myself

I had no idea kittie is back. The last time I saw them live was on the ozzfest when they were on stage with Pantera singing "walk".
The news was new to me too. Super underrated Nu-Metal band that deserves all the recognition. They had to remind people who great they are.
As an OG fan of Nu Metal, you should check out Amira Elfiky and Ally Nocholas. Pretty damn good artists just found them recently.
Will definitely look into both artists! I appreciate the recommendations 🎸
@@SLEAZEBAGJONES get back to me on that cause I think there’s a genuine revival slowly happening.

Great video!!!
Thank you 😊
i like the fact that my generation "revived" nu-metal and other genres but it kinda annoys me when people know only the most popular songs of most popular bands, korn is an example
i love love love korn, they're one of my favorite nu-metal bands ever but it annoys me when people only know y'all want a single
i appreciate the fact that other people love one of my favorite bands but korn has a very large discography, so i would really like if people listened to other great songs made by them
i mean, it's okay if you got into them with that song but try to listen to other songs please
i'm petty i know, but they have so many great songs
