Methinks Bardy should have the digital equivalent of having his meds adjusted. Staind? Breaking Benjamin?? Three Days Grace?? Linkin F#$king Park...WTF! BOOM *head explodes* Staind at worst should have either gotten the #10 spot or a dishonorable mention. There is much, much worse out there (even including 14 SoG) that was wildly popular. The other three absolutely should not be on this list at all. Ones that should... Theory of a Deadman, BuckCherry, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Hinder... you know I could be here all day.
I don't listen to a lot of Linkin Park, but based on what I *have* listened to, it's safe to say Google Bard committed a war crime of some kind by calling them Worst of the 2000s-material.
Bard is often seen as being a low quality AI chatbot. Its responses are often seen as being repetitive. It is often seen reusing phrases like often seen.
Yet another example of Bardy's "Go home, you're drunk" moments with Linkin Park being one of the worst, I still say they were one of the best and wrote some fucking amazing songs. Plus they had two of the best frontmen in modern rock with Chester Bennington (RIP) and Mike Shinoda, which definitely played a big part in their sound
Probably because there are a lot of negative comments about them online. Linkin Park "suffers" the most because how they changed their music since hybrid theory and that wasnt always well received by their fans. I dont agree with their inclusion and i do expect them to also be on the top 10 best band, probably in the 1st place.
Out of curiosity I asked chatgpt the same prompt, and I like its list way more: 1: Nickelback 2: Creed 3: Limp Bizkit 4: Hinder 5: Puddle of Mudd 6: Crazy Town 7: Papa Roach 8: Trapt 9: Saliva 10: Hoobastank Its reasoning for the bands was the exact same lines of reasoning as Google's AI though.
I asked chatgpt the best ones and it said 1. Linkin Park 2. Coldplay 3. The Strokes 4. Muse 5. Foo Fighters 6. Arctic Monkeys 7. System of a Down 8. Queens of the Stone Age 9. The White Stripes 10. Radiohead
I was rather shocked to see Linkin Park being added to this list. One more thing: I think Creed gets too much hate. This AI shoulda put Trapt in that spot instead of them.
Linkin Park was on the list because Linkin Park is pure shit. LP fans seem to be completely clueless as to how reviled LP outside of their echo chamber.
As a Nickelback defender I didn’t even have to watch the video to know they’d be number one here. That said number two SHOCKED me, I figured they’d be in the top two on the good list
I don't even listen to Nickleback but I think the hate that they get has just taken on a life of it's own regardless of whether their songs are good or bad. If you say you hate them you get a high five from people who have heard 3 of their songs. If you say you love them you get mocked by people who have also only heard 3 of their songs. Of 2000s Butt Rock bands there are dozens worse than Nickleback but you can't shit on those bands because nobody knows who they are
I did. It started off "well" (as it mentioned some bands I never ever heard about), but then it just went downhill. Edit: Just noticed I forgot to specify about the list being on rock bands. 1. Stryper 2. Warrant 3. Poison 4. Anthrax 5. WASP 6. Tesla 7. Def Leppard 8. Twisted Sister 9. Duran Duran 10. Culture Club
Can neither confirm nor deny I nearly punched my screen for #2. But honestly, I'm surprised Good Charlotte, Trapt, Hinder or Tokio Hotel is not on this list.
@@lethybridtheorygolucastheo2191 I see, I was thinking people saw their lyrics as being stupid and/or juvenile. Idk, I have yet to lay my ears on any of their songs so I fully accept that I am ignorant here.
@@lethybridtheorygolucastheo2191 So I was correct with that guess, huh? Nice. Yeah, like I said up top, I am not familiar with them or their songs so I was mainly trying to gauge common consensus there, so thanks for your insight.
I love Breaking Benjamin and Linkin Park, and when I saw that Google labelled them as some of the worst 2000s bands, I was like "bro, don't wound me like this". Them, Slipknot, and Bullet for my Valentine were what got me through growing up and helped me dive deep into heavy music. That era of those bands still sound amazing to me even now. Trapt and Buckcherry should take their places imo.
Linkin Park was such (and still is) a awesome gateway band. I didn't know I liked metal/more aggressive stuff until I heard breaking the habit on the radio as a kid. Hybrid Theory and Meteora are still my favorite albums of all time. I hadn't heard anything like that played on the radio until Linkin Park got some air time
Bands that were somehow not on the list: Buckcherry, Hoobastank, Saliva, Good Charlotte, Theory of a Deadman, Fuel, Simple Plan, Crossfade, Trapt, Saving Abel, Default and Chickenfoot just to name a few.
I'm not even a limp bizkit fan particularly, but that song 'Rearranged' is awesome, but I saw a video of them playing in the last couple of years, I think - maybe they were in Germany? Anyway, they absolutely KILLED onstage - almost nobody was holding a phone and the crowd was slamming! Good for them -
I never really understood why a lot of people don't enjoy limp bizkit or even hate them, they had a lot of good songs and great commercial success, in my opinion, all of the members are extremely talented, wes is such a great guitarist and artist (i love his stage outfits and his makeup and stuff like that), john is a good drummer, dj lethal adds a lot to their sound, sam is just so good at playing bass (that's also part of the reason why i love re-arranged so much), and you can say about fred's songwriting what you want, i personally enjoy it, it makes the songs fun to listen to, and his vocals are very distinct from other vocalists, he is genuinely a good director (he directed most, if not all, of limp bizkit's music videos and some music vids of other bands, inclung falling away from me by korn), limp bizkit still holds up to this day, and sure he was in a lot of drama, especially in the early 2000s, but he always kept the band's status somewhat high and kept them popular (seeing that people are still talking about them, even to this day, showcases that perfectly), but hey, that's just my opinion :)
I describe Papa Roach as a band that has gotten the most out of their abilities. Nobody would consider them the most talented band, but they know what they can do and have consistently produced solid work over the years. Being great with their fans only helps in their longevity.
Okay, Bardy HAS to be scrounging for "highest total amount of any negative discussion" or something when it comes to generating these lists. He exclusively picks out the most mainstream acts of the time while ignoring other groups that have a much bigger hatedom, and that's not even mentioning how completely off pick #2 is. And the explanations for his reasoning are insanely shallow; you could take Bardy's assessment for Limp Bizkit and use it to accurately describe Blink-182 verbatim, but those qualities are not what makes the music bad or good. I guess what I'm saying is that Bardy is *often seen as* proof AI still has a long way to go
Cute Bardy, cute. Here’s the real top 10 (or at least IMO a better one): 1. Trapt 2. Limp Bizkit 3. Puddle of Mudd 4. Simple Plan 5. Hoobastank 6. Good Charlotte 7. Theory of a Dead Man 8. Staind 9. Buckcherry 10. Nickelback
Who honestly hates Breaking Benjamin? I get that they were the tail end of post grunge which was dying out, but I find it hard to call them the worst when they put out We Are Not Alone, one of my favorite albums as a teen.
Hers the real worst of the 00’s list MCR Green Day Paramore Sum 41 Busted All Time Low Panic At The Disco Fall Out Boy Boys Like Girls Blink 182 These are the real worst bands of the 00’s
"Seether is a band that is often seen as being angry and bitter. Their music is often seen as being aggressive and violent." Don't mind me, just on my way to rob a bank while listening to Fine Again and Truth lol
Only bardy could put Linkin Park on a worst list. With that logic I'm surprised Shinedown isn't on here (but I'm not complaining, I love Shinedown). Linkin Park is one of the most universally loved rock bands ever RIP Chester
I was told Puddle of Mudd was the original Nirvana when they Demoed Drift and Die was just before the record company discovered Nirvana and Puddle got shelved. I believe there is some fiction and some non fiction to this story. Like. Its more hypothetical then confirmed.
I happen to like Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, and Three Days Grace and I don’t think they fit the list at all. Instead; Trapt, Hinder, Theory of a Deadman, and Buckcherry should take their place. Also, he thinks Linkin Park is too heavy? Then he’d be shocked if he listened to thrash metal, death metal, black metal, grindcore, or doom metal.
@@Whatabozo9 I’ve seen it but it’s mostly because Gen Z and Millennials are in the workforce now and unfortunately Chester's death has to do with the ratings going higher for them
I'm mad at Google Bard about Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, and especially Linkin Park. Hell, even Papa Roach to some extent! And I like Creed but expected it because everybody else seems to hate them so hard. But the others I named? Bard can kiss the entire circumference of my butt, dude!
Holy shit, I was thinking about the song She Hates Me earlier TODAY, but I could remember neither the title of the song or the band that sang it. So thanks for answering this one for me. Linkin Park AND Breaking Benjamin oof, that cyber dude is about to learn thems is fight'n words. lol
the sheer amount of whiplash going from Limp Bizkit to Linkin Park was unmeasurable. I find it impressive how Bardy was right on the money one minute, and then completely wrong the next. Truly incredible
@@Csnich96uh huh and tell me does more the victim sound like a boy band song? Seriously this has to be the single worst "criticism or take down" of linkin park I have ever read in my life come up with a better rebuttal next time
I actually agree with the AI haha. Staind is one of the worst bands ever. Breaking Benjamin is just kinda whatever but the rest of the bands 100% deserve to be on this list.
Oh I love Limp Bizkit... but I will not sit here and defend them. I know they are terrible, but that is why I love them. It is absolute trash and immature... and that is why I love them.
Excuse me?! Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, and Papa Roach are on the list but Simple Plan is not even anywhere to be found?! Bardy needs to get reprogrammed!
It is a crime that Google Bard didn't put Train on this list. Worse and more overplayed at retail outlets and casinos than Nickelback, lyrically worse and more self important than Creed, worse vocals than even Staind. And Staind fricking blows
If Nickelback is on this list, then why not also include the band that "derided the most inspiration from it", Theory of a Deadman? The music's as shallow and generic as all can be, they have song titles that just aren't clever, and they have songs that are very demeaning towards women, most notably Bad Girlfriend. The song itself even aged like milk, as the future ex-Ms. Connelly is now the current ex-Ms. Connelly. I'd say Tyler was the one being bad in this case and not his "wife".
I know I'm probably alone here but I've always hated Linkin Park. Chester was a great singer but I simply could not stand his voice and the way he sang (although, objectively, he sang great) and Mike Shinoda... UGH. I dislike like 99% of rap (at least the stuff I've heard) and combining it with heavy music simply doesn't work for my ears. So yes, in my TOTALLY SUBJECTIVE list of worst 2000s bands Linkin Park is near the top - even if I really like the sincere, emotional lyrics. All that said, I felt sad when Chester passed - having struggled with depression most of my life I cannot help but sympathize.
I can’t believe Bardi included Linkin Park. Massive L for including Linkin Park. Also Trapt should’ve been number one, not Nickelback. How could you Bardi lol
I hate that I genuinely enjoy most of the bands on this list lmao. Also will never understand how people can criticize staind for being “too depressing” and then go listen to alice in chains or nirvana. Sure AiC and Nirvanas writing is much better, but if you really think Staind is to depressing but will listen to Angry Chair, Rooster, or basically the large majority of Alice in chains songs that are about heroin abuse. Or Nirvana which is known for being one of the big players in a genre all about wanting to die and doing drugs. I just don’t get it. Again, not saying Aaron Lewis is nearly as good of a writer as Cobain or Staley. Nowhere even close, but as a lover of depressing and angry music, I don’t find staind any more depressing than any post grunge or nu metal act from around the same time. As someone who is, unfortunately kindof a staind fan. (Altho i really only like dysfunction and tormented) i think it’s rather silly to consider them super depressing, or even consider being super depressing a bad thing tbh.
@@hyperacc6530 Maybe LP don’t deserve to get shit on, but I don’t think they are the best nu metal band either. As far as nu metal goes, nothing comes close to _Around the Fur._ SOAD, Ikd-sj, earthtone9, early Incubus, early Mudvayne, etc, just more raw and interesting IMO.
Okay. Three days grace being on this list is an insult. 1. I Love three days grace. First time i heard one of their songs was smackdown vs raw 2. They’re probably one of the most influential bands of the early to mid 2000s. And I’m sure inspired a lot of other metal bands
Three Days Grace are definitely not one of the most influential bands of the 00s. They are pretty generic buttrock, no more influential than other genric buttrock bands like Shinedown.
The fact Linkin Park was at number 2, which according to Bardy, is worse than Puddle of Mudd, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Creed, etc. is such a massive diss. Damn.
For something titled the worst 2000s rock bands, I feel like I should have been thinking, "oh yeah, I remember that band. "And not, that band is still coming out with music, playing concerts and has a huge fan base.
For real. With that said, I'm glad Limp Bizkit made the list. With that also being said, I'm stunned Linkin Park was ranked as worse than Limp Bizkit. That blew my mind. While I'm not the biggest Nickelback fan, I'm not their biggest hater, and can think of many way worse bands. I think it's that Nickelback, like them or not, are household names, and were huge for many years. A lot of the bands you're probably referring to were only big for one, maybe two albums, and might even be one hit wonders in some instances.
Staind's first 3 albums are excellent albums, but if people must drag Aaron Lewis through the mud because of his political views (even without admitting it) then it's no loss to him for...obvious reasons. Their newest song is flawless!
This list was made with popular bands, so that would explain why the mentioned bands(Trapt, Hinder, Buckcherry) are not on here. One-hit wonders should be left off as well.
I don't like Linkin Park, but calling them worse than the other bands on this list is pretty ridiculous. At least they actually utilized their DJ unlike other nu metal bands that just threw random record scratches in the mix.
Here are my thoughts on each one on the list, in no particular order. Creed: Anything before "With Alms Wide Opawn" is stuff I can at least take seriously and actually genuinely enjoy. My Own Prison (which my mom owns and regrets buying) has some good stuff on there but after that, no thanks. Limp Bizkit: If I ever intentionally listen to them, it's the actual music and not the vocals or lyrics because the music itself is pretty good. Papa Roach: Really, Bardy? Their first album has decent deep cuts like Dead Cell and Infest, and they have pretty good singles like Help. I'd still take them over Staind, though. Staind: Well, I get why they're on this list. I wasn't really a huge fan of them to begin with (I was in a short Staind phase for a few years and I liked some of their singles, but that was it), and I feel that their 90s albums are the only things worth checking out from them. I've heard Break the Cycle and... Outside of three tracks (Open Your Eyes, Pressure, and Epiphany), this album is just ehhhh. It isn't awful, but that's the most positive thing I can say about it. Puddle of Mudd: Honestly, outside of Blurry, Control, Drift and Die and Psycho, this band has a lot of songs that just don't do anything except remind you that there's better music out there. (Mom used to own Come Clean back in the day but she doesn't have it anymore.) Seether: Some of their songs do have some violent imagery like Pride, Needles, Pig, and Gasoline, but really Bardy? Out of all bands, Seether is the worst of the 2000s? I don't get it. Breaking Benjamin: Okay, I don't get this one at all. Yes, all their songs have a formula. Does that mean it's the end of the world, though? No. Linkin Park: Okay, you've got to be trolling at this point, Bardy. They're nowhere near the worst of the 2000s. Nickelback: I'm not really a fan of this band so I get why they're on the list. I'm surprised bands like Trapt, Hoobastank (first album has some gems like Crawling in the Dark), Saving Abel (their first album is plain Mac and cheese, nothing wrong with it, but it could be better), Theory of a Deadman (their first two albums are okay. Almost everything else is laughable), Hinder, Simple Plan, and Crazy Town aren't on this list. Perhaps Bardy will put the correct bands on a part 2 of this list.
I agree that Three Days Grace, especially during the Adam Gontier era didn't belong on this list. Same with Breaking Benjamin and Linkin Park. Creed, Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, and Staind definitely belong on this list! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Three days grace are absolutely cringe for taking themselves so seriously. Lyrics that are ‘im 14 and this is deep’ at least Fred Durst just wanted to have fun
In defense of Bardy, Chester Bennington wasn't that good of a vocalist. While pain can be used in great ways, Chester's vocals came off a lot like 14 Shades Aaron Lewis to me. And, using rappers in your songs is kind of a tightrope. With the rappers that Linkin Park enlisted, they just made their songs sound like pop songs with distortion. Like every band I come across (except Slayer, Motley Crue and Queen), there tends to be some songs I enjoy, but Linkin Park feels alright at best. Linkin Park is still better than Limp Bizkit tho
Tbh I’m not surprised with LP. They’re not a bad band by any means, I just remember back in the day they were one of those popular bands that was not “cool” to like. Most LP fans would jam them in private and hate on them in public.
I think they've been re-evaluated over the years. They were pretty hated in the 2000s, but have been held to a better standard as time has gone on. Many classic rock radio stations have begun to play them in recent years. (This has nothing to do with Chester dying, as some classic rock stations had just started playing them not too long before that.)
@@tiffanyhowarth6703 most bands eventually get reevaluated over time, Slipknot was the “poser” metal band for most of the 2000s and somewhere in the 2010s they became one of the best of their generation.
I'm pretty sure even Limp Bizkit's fans think they're a joke, for the most part. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone accuse Linkin Park of all things as being too heavy 😂
Instead of Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin and yes Nickelback, I would put Theory of a Deadman, Good Charlotte, Hinder, Kid Rock, and Crazy Town. There's more terrible bands than what is mentioned.
@Nu-Metalfan 26 Crazy Town have nonsensical offensive lyrics performed by immature, nasally annoying rappers. The only good parts from their only hit are sampled by RHCP. They are only responsible for the bad thing about it. The rest of their music is just cringeworthy. Hinder and Theory are just bland sellouts, and Kid Rock is either you love it or hate it. Wheatus aka Teenage Dirt bag gets an honorable mention for whiny, premature vocals.
@@TheJbhmetal Your comment is proving why Rock music is dead. Rock music is supposed to offend and cause a stir, Rock music is supposed to be wild and aggressive.
@Nu-Metalfan 26 There's more to rock music than that. Yes, it's supposed to be wild and aggressive, but not like these bands. There's plenty of good rock bands that offend, but they do it with logic, style, or by accident. The bands that you defend are like teenage bullies. But, you like anything nu metal
I can't complain because I have issues with word repetition as well. Then again, I'm not AI with instant access to the entire English language and all synonyms.
Trapt is my choice, I thought Headstrong sucked back when it first came out, Trashbag Brown is terrible and not just because he has no talent and singing ability and his politics suck, and they basically peaked with their first song and refuse to admit that they aren’t very good…
I feel like nu-metal, pop punk has gotten more love over the years. However the good one are the one that people remember & have fond with (Korn, Deftones, Blink-182, Green Day etc.). 2000's Post-Grunge though is much worse. There's a lot of bad nu-metal back then however they're forgotten now.
I'd argue that the only Post Grunge bands that aren't looked well fondly are Puddle of Mudd, Hinder, Theory of a Deadman, Trapt and Saliva. The rest like Foo Fighters, Adam Gontier era Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Shinedown, Bush, Silverchair, Chevelle, Stone Sour, Halestorm, Alter Bridge, Flyleaf, Jagged Little Pill era Alanis Morissette, Avril Lavigne's albums Let Go and Under My Skin etc and even bands like Incubus that get lumped in that category still get airplay to this day and still hold up. Nice Avril pfp
@@lethybridtheorygolucastheo2191 Bush and Silverchair are just considered regular grunge; they came out before the post-grunge era. I didn't know Alanis Morissette was considered grunge by anyone, though Jagged Little Pill did come out in the same time period. I have never heard people call Avril Lavigne post-grunge, usually pop-punk or pop-rock (she's mostly the latter). But the first five bands you mentioned are probably the post-grunge bands that get the most hate.
The best nu metal tended to be earlier works where you could still notice the influences. Early Korn, Mudvayne, Incubus, SOAD, and a bunch of more obscure acts were more funky and complex, obviously inspired by Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Primus, RHCP, Jane’s Addiction, etc. And then Deftones came at the genre from a more post-hardcore direction. The worst of nu metal was the more explicitly rap influenced bands like Limp Biskit, Papa Roach, and Trapt. All of that has aged horribly.
Limp Bizkit were terrible. They made two albums that were great, but Chocolate shit and the shitty shit fish was an album just to get as much swearing ....why. Unfortunately even their :good" stuff doesn't hold up back in 2000, doesn't hold up.
Totally agree with Staind. But I will say the first album was damn good musically. Heavy as hell. Same whiny lyrics but more bearable because the music was decent. From the second album on it was just trash.
I was curious and went onto ChatGPT to see what it would spit out for me. Here’s the results. Nickelback: Nickelback is often criticized for their repetitive song structures, formulaic lyrics, and generic rock sound. Their music has been accused of lacking depth and originality. Creed: Creed's post-grunge sound and lead singer Scott Stapp's often melodramatic and overwrought vocal style have led to criticism. Their music has been called clichéd and derivative. Limp Bizkit: Limp Bizkit's rap-rock fusion and frontman Fred Durst's controversial persona have been divisive. Critics argue that their music is overly aggressive, lacking substance, and filled with juvenile and misogynistic lyrics. Hinder: Hinder gained commercial success with their debut album, but their music has been criticized for relying on clichéd lyrics about sex, partying, and relationships. Critics have accused them of being unoriginal and pandering to mainstream tastes. Crazy Town: Known for their hit song "Butterfly," Crazy Town's brand of rap-rock and nu-metal has been derided for being shallow, gimmicky, and lacking musical depth. Papa Roach: Papa Roach achieved mainstream success with their breakthrough single "Last Resort," but their subsequent releases received mixed reviews. Critics argue that their music lacks originality and often falls into the clichés of nu-metal. Puddle of Mudd: Puddle of Mudd's grunge-inspired sound and frontman Wes Scantlin's vocal style have been met with criticism. Their music has been described as derivative and lacking innovation. Buckcherry: Buckcherry's glam-rock and hard rock sound has been criticized for its reliance on sexualized lyrics and repetitive songwriting. Their music has been seen as formulaic and lacking substance. Theory of a Deadman: Theory of a Deadman's post-grunge sound and lyrical themes revolving around relationships and partying have drawn criticism for being predictable and unoriginal. Saving Abel: Saving Abel's brand of post-grunge and hard rock has been accused of lacking originality and falling into the same lyrical tropes of sex, love, and partying. Their music has been seen as formulaic and uninspiring.
I can’t believe Theory Of A Dead Man, Trapt, Simple Plan, Buckcherry, or HINDER didn’t get on here but Breaking Benjamin, TDG (2000s era) and LINKIN PARK did.
Three Days Grace? SERIOUSLY? How!? Why!? They were my favorite band for years. I cannot believe they would be on anyone (or anything’s) worst list. The only thing more shocking is that Linkin Park is on here.
If Nickleback was anywhere other than number 1, I’d be shocked. Limp Bizkit is one of those bands that we loved in middle/high school, jammed to it, and sang along to every song. Then one day, we just realized how bad they were. I will admit, I still rock “Break Stuff” every once in a while.

Methinks Bardy should have the digital equivalent of having his meds adjusted.
Staind?
Breaking Benjamin??
Three Days Grace??
Linkin F#$king Park...WTF! BOOM *head explodes*
Staind at worst should have either gotten the #10 spot or a dishonorable mention. There is much, much worse out there (even including 14 SoG) that was wildly popular. The other three absolutely should not be on this list at all.
Ones that should... Theory of a Deadman, BuckCherry, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Hinder... you know I could be here all day.
I don't listen to a lot of Linkin Park, but based on what I *have* listened to, it's safe to say Google Bard committed a war crime of some kind by calling them Worst of the 2000s-material.
Google Bard is OFTEN SEEN saying the same shit over and over
I love how severely limited Bardy is when it comes to vocabulary.
If I listen to "are often seen" one more time I'm gonna kill myself
Especially from a parent company called Alphabet.
It also cites extremely common song lyric themes like heartbreak and loss as reasons why a band is bad, which makes no sense.
Bard is often seen as being a low quality AI chatbot. Its responses are often seen as being repetitive. It is often seen reusing phrases like often seen.
Yet another example of Bardy's "Go home, you're drunk" moments with Linkin Park being one of the worst, I still say they were one of the best and wrote some fucking amazing songs. Plus they had two of the best frontmen in modern rock with Chester Bennington (RIP) and Mike Shinoda, which definitely played a big part in their sound
Why are Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, and Three Days Grace here, but not Hinder, Buckcherry, or Trapt?
Probably because there are a lot of negative comments about them online.
Linkin Park "suffers" the most because how they changed their music since hybrid theory and that wasnt always well received by their fans.
I dont agree with their inclusion and i do expect them to also be on the top 10 best band, probably in the 1st place.
Hey you leave trapt out of this
@rocky1169pt the more popular/relevant to the present the band is the more likely they are to be on the list.
Out of curiosity I asked chatgpt the same prompt, and I like its list way more:
1: Nickelback
2: Creed
3: Limp Bizkit
4: Hinder
5: Puddle of Mudd
6: Crazy Town
7: Papa Roach
8: Trapt
9: Saliva
10: Hoobastank
Its reasoning for the bands was the exact same lines of reasoning as Google's AI though.
I asked chatgpt the best ones and it said
1. Linkin Park
2. Coldplay
3. The Strokes
4. Muse
5. Foo Fighters
6. Arctic Monkeys
7. System of a Down
8. Queens of the Stone Age
9. The White Stripes
10. Radiohead
@@Joseph-cg9hm this "best" list is absolutely terrible
@@andrewsullivan3180 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
8 of those bands are not bad at all. Papa Roach and Hoobastank however are bad
@@nu-metalfan2654 trapt, creed, puddle of mudd and nickelback arnt terrible?
I was rather shocked to see Linkin Park being added to this list.
One more thing: I think Creed gets too much hate. This AI shoulda put Trapt in that spot instead of them.
I was shocked as well.
no, crud deserves to be in the list because scott stapp is a douche.
LP is literally my favorite band of all time lol
No pls anybody except trapt
Linkin Park was on the list because Linkin Park is pure shit. LP fans seem to be completely clueless as to how reviled LP outside of their echo chamber.
Dear Google Bard…Never cook again
Agreed. I do have a ton of trust issues with people nowadays! I really do.
Hell, I'd go out to eat more to be quite honest.
Was probably confused by their “big Pandora numbers” for Trapt
As a Nickelback defender I didn’t even have to watch the video to know they’d be number one here. That said number two SHOCKED me, I figured they’d be in the top two on the good list
A band that’s trendy and cool to hate on, I love Nickelback I’ve heard way worse music out there
I don't even listen to Nickleback but I think the hate that they get has just taken on a life of it's own regardless of whether their songs are good or bad. If you say you hate them you get a high five from people who have heard 3 of their songs. If you say you love them you get mocked by people who have also only heard 3 of their songs. Of 2000s Butt Rock bands there are dozens worse than Nickleback but you can't shit on those bands because nobody knows who they are
@@nighthawk9532 Look at this photograph hahahahaha😂

I did. It started off "well" (as it mentioned some bands I never ever heard about), but then it just went downhill.

They’re actually number 1 rock band of 2000s according to Bard! 😂
@@TheHawkeyeGuru So they are the best and the 2nd worst! I guess Bard really hated Minutes to Midnight! LOL
@@crazydud3380 must of.
do i got some news for you 😂
I love Breaking Benjamin and Linkin Park, and when I saw that Google labelled them as some of the worst 2000s bands, I was like "bro, don't wound me like this". Them, Slipknot, and Bullet for my Valentine were what got me through growing up and helped me dive deep into heavy music. That era of those bands still sound amazing to me even now. Trapt and Buckcherry should take their places imo.
All those bands you mentioned were my gateway into heavier music
Staind is the ultimate band for divorced dads. If you’re divorced and Staind isn’t your favorite band, there’s still hope. You can still find love.
Omg this is so funny.
Staind and nickleback both
😂 so accurate
Linkin Park was such (and still is) a awesome gateway band. I didn't know I liked metal/more aggressive stuff until I heard breaking the habit on the radio as a kid. Hybrid Theory and Meteora are still my favorite albums of all time. I hadn't heard anything like that played on the radio until Linkin Park got some air time
Bands that were somehow not on the list: Buckcherry, Hoobastank, Saliva, Good Charlotte, Theory of a Deadman, Fuel, Simple Plan, Crossfade, Trapt, Saving Abel, Default and Chickenfoot just to name a few.
I'm not even a limp bizkit fan particularly, but that song 'Rearranged' is awesome, but I saw a video of them playing in the last couple of years, I think - maybe they were in Germany? Anyway, they absolutely KILLED onstage - almost nobody was holding a phone and the crowd was slamming! Good for them -
Same not really a fan but id love to see them live.
I never really understood why a lot of people don't enjoy limp bizkit or even hate them, they had a lot of good songs and great commercial success, in my opinion, all of the members are extremely talented, wes is such a great guitarist and artist (i love his stage outfits and his makeup and stuff like that), john is a good drummer, dj lethal adds a lot to their sound, sam is just so good at playing bass (that's also part of the reason why i love re-arranged so much), and you can say about fred's songwriting what you want, i personally enjoy it, it makes the songs fun to listen to, and his vocals are very distinct from other vocalists, he is genuinely a good director (he directed most, if not all, of limp bizkit's music videos and some music vids of other bands, inclung falling away from me by korn), limp bizkit still holds up to this day, and sure he was in a lot of drama, especially in the early 2000s, but he always kept the band's status somewhat high and kept them popular (seeing that people are still talking about them, even to this day, showcases that perfectly), but hey, that's just my opinion :)
I describe Papa Roach as a band that has gotten the most out of their abilities. Nobody would consider them the most talented band, but they know what they can do and have consistently produced solid work over the years. Being great with their fans only helps in their longevity.
I listen to staind when I'm depressed. I suffer with manic depression and they pull me out of it
Bardy was making fair and understandable choices as to why he didn’t like most of those bands, and then Linkin Park dropped…
AI was a mistake.
Yeah idk how you can physically dislike anything linkin park has released disinterested yes but not hate
Damn I saw Breaking Benjamin and Linkin Park In concert and both were awesome! Shocked to see them on here
I like Breaking Benjamin and Linkin Park, and even Three Days Grace, Papa Roach and Seether to an extent. There is way worse than that.
When I saw linkin park at #2 I couldn't believe it
As a 40 year old former Limp Bizkit fan I feel called out, but also can't disagree.
Papa roach is actually legendary imo. Still going strong after almost 25 years. Tons of radio hits, still getting prime festival spots, etc....
They have like 2 hits that i know of tbh but they definitely ain’t like anywhere near the worst of the 2000s.
That #2 choice physically hurt me
Absolutely.
My jaw dropping was not a joke when I first saw it on the list.
I totally disagree with it,
Not only do I disagree with Bardy over that choice, but the idea that music can be too heavy! God forbid it listens to Neurosis or Electric Wizard.
Often _SEEN_
Okay, Bardy HAS to be scrounging for "highest total amount of any negative discussion" or something when it comes to generating these lists. He exclusively picks out the most mainstream acts of the time while ignoring other groups that have a much bigger hatedom, and that's not even mentioning how completely off pick #2 is. And the explanations for his reasoning are insanely shallow; you could take Bardy's assessment for Limp Bizkit and use it to accurately describe Blink-182 verbatim, but those qualities are not what makes the music bad or good.
I guess what I'm saying is that Bardy is *often seen as* proof AI still has a long way to go
Cute Bardy, cute. Here’s the real top 10 (or at least IMO a better one):
1. Trapt
2. Limp Bizkit
3. Puddle of Mudd
4. Simple Plan
5. Hoobastank
6. Good Charlotte
7. Theory of a Dead Man
8. Staind
9. Buckcherry
10. Nickelback
Seeing Bardy rank Linkin Park at number two and I’m like WTF?
Who honestly hates Breaking Benjamin? I get that they were the tail end of post grunge which was dying out, but I find it hard to call them the worst when they put out We Are Not Alone, one of my favorite albums as a teen.
Linkin Park & Breaking Benjamin definitely do not belong on this list.
Hers the real worst of the 00’s list
MCR
Green Day
Paramore
Sum 41
Busted
All Time Low
Panic At The Disco
Fall Out Boy
Boys Like Girls
Blink 182
These are the real worst bands of the 00’s
"Seether is a band that is often seen as being angry and bitter. Their music is often seen as being aggressive and violent."
Don't mind me, just on my way to rob a bank while listening to Fine Again and Truth lol
Exactly, I listen to Seether when I’m feeling low, Seether are a fantastic band, shouldn’t be on this list.
Most bands are WWE core. Google Bard really hates the Ruthless Aggresion era
I always thought of Papa Roach as kind of mid. But I saw them live back in March. And they put on an AMAZING show.
Only bardy could put Linkin Park on a worst list. With that logic I'm surprised Shinedown isn't on here (but I'm not complaining, I love Shinedown). Linkin Park is one of the most universally loved rock bands ever RIP Chester
It’s funny I saw 3DG, Breaking Benjamin and Seether at the same Evanescence concert in the early 2000s! Lol
Haha what a tour! Bardy would have loathed it!
I really hope this becomes a new Series on the Channel cause these videos have been amazing
I was told Puddle of Mudd was the original Nirvana when they Demoed Drift and Die was just before the record company discovered Nirvana and Puddle got shelved.
I believe there is some fiction and some non fiction to this story. Like. Its more hypothetical then confirmed.
There's ZERO truth to this bullshit.
Truth is indeed stranger than fiction
Based on the age difference between Scantlin and Cobain, I'd say that's highly unlikely.
@@bink exactly. Scantlin would have been very young in the late 80's/early 90's. Obviously not true
The only way someone could believe this is by knowing nothing about the origin of Nirvana and the Seattle scene of the 1980's.
Hinder, Trapt, Buckcherry are the first that come to mind
All worthy of being on the list.
Hinder, Trapt and Buckcherry are not bad though. The worst bands that immediately come to mind are MCR, Green Day and Paramore.
I happen to like Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, and Three Days Grace and I don’t think they fit the list at all. Instead; Trapt, Hinder, Theory of a Deadman, and Buckcherry should take their place. Also, he thinks Linkin Park is too heavy? Then he’d be shocked if he listened to thrash metal, death metal, black metal, grindcore, or doom metal.
As a 25 year old who’s pretty active playing shows the younger generation has seen a big resurgence for limp bizkit
Google Bard seemed to target bands that St. Louis still love to pieces.
Great video as always i was surprised to see linkin park on this list my wife and I enjoy what we've heard by them
WOW!! Linkin Park would be a better fit for a BEST of the 2000s list. Also, Three Days Grace is a step above most of the other bands on here.
I love how some of the arguments are "the lyrics are too dark and deppressing 😢" "the music is too heavy!!1!!"
I love the fact Bardy went for popular nu metal/alternative rock/post-grunge bands and nothing else 😂

And I like Creed but expected it because everybody else seems to hate them so hard. But the others I named? Bard can kiss the entire circumference of my butt, dude!

Linkin Park AND Breaking Benjamin oof, that cyber dude is about to learn thems is fight'n words. lol
the sheer amount of whiplash going from Limp Bizkit to Linkin Park was unmeasurable. I find it impressive how Bardy was right on the money one minute, and then completely wrong the next. Truly incredible

Oh I love Limp Bizkit... but I will not sit here and defend them. I know they are terrible, but that is why I love them. It is absolute trash and immature... and that is why I love them.

Thank you for watching!
#2 Hurts, replace Linkin Park with Theory of a Deadman, Trapt, or Buckcherry and the top 5 would be solid.
Linkin Park is my favorite and they’ve changed my life
Up there for me also. I love Linkin Park.
It is a crime that Google Bard didn't put Train on this list. Worse and more overplayed at retail outlets and casinos than Nickelback, lyrically worse and more self important than Creed, worse vocals than even Staind. And Staind fricking blows
If Nickelback is on this list, then why not also include the band that "derided the most inspiration from it", Theory of a Deadman? The music's as shallow and generic as all can be, they have song titles that just aren't clever, and they have songs that are very demeaning towards women, most notably Bad Girlfriend. The song itself even aged like milk, as the future ex-Ms. Connelly is now the current ex-Ms. Connelly. I'd say Tyler was the one being bad in this case and not his "wife".
Bardy left off Trapt but put on Linkin Park? Bardy trying to start a war here.
I know I'm probably alone here but I've always hated Linkin Park. Chester was a great singer but I simply could not stand his voice and the way he sang (although, objectively, he sang great) and Mike Shinoda... UGH. I dislike like 99% of rap (at least the stuff I've heard) and combining it with heavy music simply doesn't work for my ears. So yes, in my TOTALLY SUBJECTIVE list of worst 2000s bands Linkin Park is near the top - even if I really like the sincere, emotional lyrics. All that said, I felt sad when Chester passed - having struggled with depression most of my life I cannot help but sympathize.
I can’t believe Bardi included Linkin Park. Massive L for including Linkin Park. Also Trapt should’ve been number one, not Nickelback. How could you Bardi lol
You can make a bloody dangerous drinking game with the number of times Bardy says "is often seen as"
I hate that I genuinely enjoy most of the bands on this list lmao.
Also will never understand how people can criticize staind for being “too depressing” and then go listen to alice in chains or nirvana. Sure AiC and Nirvanas writing is much better, but if you really think Staind is to depressing but will listen to Angry Chair, Rooster, or basically the large majority of Alice in chains songs that are about heroin abuse. Or Nirvana which is known for being one of the big players in a genre all about wanting to die and doing drugs. I just don’t get it.
Again, not saying Aaron Lewis is nearly as good of a writer as Cobain or Staley. Nowhere even close, but as a lover of depressing and angry music, I don’t find staind any more depressing than any post grunge or nu metal act from around the same time.
As someone who is, unfortunately kindof a staind fan. (Altho i really only like dysfunction and tormented) i think it’s rather silly to consider them super depressing, or even consider being super depressing a bad thing tbh.
Also shitting on linkin park is a gargantuan L. Literally one of the best nu metal bands ever.
@@hyperacc6530
Maybe LP don’t deserve to get shit on, but I don’t think they are the best nu metal band either. As far as nu metal goes, nothing comes close to _Around the Fur._ SOAD, Ikd-sj, earthtone9, early Incubus, early Mudvayne, etc, just more raw and interesting IMO.
@@samuelstephens6904 i said one of the best. Deftones korn and slipknot are definitely up there too.
I often forget SOAD is considered nu metal. I generally just call em alt metal.
Okay. Three days grace being on this list is an insult. 1. I Love three days grace. First time i heard one of their songs was smackdown vs raw 2. They’re probably one of the most influential bands of the early to mid 2000s. And I’m sure inspired a lot of other metal bands
Three Days Grace are definitely not one of the most influential bands of the 00s. They are pretty generic buttrock, no more influential than other genric buttrock bands like Shinedown.
The fact Linkin Park was at number 2, which according to Bardy, is worse than Puddle of Mudd, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Creed, etc. is such a massive diss. Damn.
Linkin Park are worse than Limp Bizkit because they’re generic and were a manufactured boy band with pop hits
@@Csnich96 You sound pretty biased with your 3 Dollar Bill pfp.
No way Linkin Park was on here!
For something titled the worst 2000s rock bands, I feel like I should have been thinking, "oh yeah, I remember that band. "And not, that band is still coming out with music, playing concerts and has a huge fan base.
For real. With that said, I'm glad Limp Bizkit made the list. With that also being said, I'm stunned Linkin Park was ranked as worse than Limp Bizkit. That blew my mind.
While I'm not the biggest Nickelback fan, I'm not their biggest hater, and can think of many way worse bands. I think it's that Nickelback, like them or not, are household names, and were huge for many years. A lot of the bands you're probably referring to were only big for one, maybe two albums, and might even be one hit wonders in some instances.
Staind's first 3 albums are excellent albums, but if people must drag Aaron Lewis through the mud because of his political views (even without admitting it) then it's no loss to him for...obvious reasons. Their newest song is flawless!
Linkin park… this is why we should watch out for AI
It's true. Google Bard doesn't respect Linkin Park.
I swear y’all’s channels stay alive by constantly mentioning limp bizkit and nickleback 😂 I’m starting to think he’s a secret fan
Bro he didn't even made the list
This list was made with popular bands, so that would explain why the mentioned bands(Trapt, Hinder, Buckcherry) are not on here. One-hit wonders should be left off as well.
Well… you were right that Bardy had a bias against nu metal…
I don't like Linkin Park, but calling them worse than the other bands on this list is pretty ridiculous. At least they actually utilized their DJ unlike other nu metal bands that just threw random record scratches in the mix.
Here are my thoughts on each one on the list, in no particular order.
Creed: Anything before "With Alms Wide Opawn" is stuff I can at least take seriously and actually genuinely enjoy. My Own Prison (which my mom owns and regrets buying) has some good stuff on there but after that, no thanks.
Limp Bizkit: If I ever intentionally listen to them, it's the actual music and not the vocals or lyrics because the music itself is pretty good.
Papa Roach: Really, Bardy? Their first album has decent deep cuts like Dead Cell and Infest, and they have pretty good singles like Help. I'd still take them over Staind, though.
Staind: Well, I get why they're on this list. I wasn't really a huge fan of them to begin with (I was in a short Staind phase for a few years and I liked some of their singles, but that was it), and I feel that their 90s albums are the only things worth checking out from them. I've heard Break the Cycle and... Outside of three tracks (Open Your Eyes, Pressure, and Epiphany), this album is just ehhhh. It isn't awful, but that's the most positive thing I can say about it.
Puddle of Mudd: Honestly, outside of Blurry, Control, Drift and Die and Psycho, this band has a lot of songs that just don't do anything except remind you that there's better music out there. (Mom used to own Come Clean back in the day but she doesn't have it anymore.)
Seether: Some of their songs do have some violent imagery like Pride, Needles, Pig, and Gasoline, but really Bardy? Out of all bands, Seether is the worst of the 2000s? I don't get it.
Breaking Benjamin: Okay, I don't get this one at all. Yes, all their songs have a formula. Does that mean it's the end of the world, though? No.
Linkin Park: Okay, you've got to be trolling at this point, Bardy. They're nowhere near the worst of the 2000s.
Nickelback: I'm not really a fan of this band so I get why they're on the list.
I'm surprised bands like Trapt, Hoobastank (first album has some gems like Crawling in the Dark), Saving Abel (their first album is plain Mac and cheese, nothing wrong with it, but it could be better), Theory of a Deadman (their first two albums are okay. Almost everything else is laughable), Hinder, Simple Plan, and Crazy Town aren't on this list.
Perhaps Bardy will put the correct bands on a part 2 of this list.
I agree that Three Days Grace, especially during the Adam Gontier era didn't belong on this list. Same with Breaking Benjamin and Linkin Park. Creed, Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, and Staind definitely belong on this list! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Three days grace are absolutely cringe for taking themselves so seriously. Lyrics that are ‘im 14 and this is deep’
at least Fred Durst just wanted to have fun
In defense of Bardy, Chester Bennington wasn't that good of a vocalist. While pain can be used in great ways, Chester's vocals came off a lot like 14 Shades Aaron Lewis to me. And, using rappers in your songs is kind of a tightrope. With the rappers that Linkin Park enlisted, they just made their songs sound like pop songs with distortion.
Like every band I come across (except Slayer, Motley Crue and Queen), there tends to be some songs I enjoy, but Linkin Park feels alright at best.
Linkin Park is still better than Limp Bizkit tho
Barring one or two decent albums, 2000s Weezer was very hit and miss.
Tbh I’m not surprised with LP. They’re not a bad band by any means, I just remember back in the day they were one of those popular bands that was not “cool” to like. Most LP fans would jam them in private and hate on them in public.
I think they've been re-evaluated over the years. They were pretty hated in the 2000s, but have been held to a better standard as time has gone on. Many classic rock radio stations have begun to play them in recent years. (This has nothing to do with Chester dying, as some classic rock stations had just started playing them not too long before that.)
@@tiffanyhowarth6703 most bands eventually get reevaluated over time, Slipknot was the “poser” metal band for most of the 2000s and somewhere in the 2010s they became one of the best of their generation.
I am still shocked that Linkin Park was first on this listen but also ranked so high
I'm pretty sure even Limp Bizkit's fans think they're a joke, for the most part.
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone accuse Linkin Park of all things as being too heavy 😂
Yeah and saying they are "too heavy" as a reason to say they are the worst is also odd.
Instead of Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin and yes Nickelback, I would put Theory of a Deadman, Good Charlotte, Hinder, Kid Rock, and Crazy Town. There's more terrible bands than what is mentioned.
Theory, Hinder, Kid Rock and Crazy Town are not bad though. Good Charlotte However are fucking terrible
@Nu-Metalfan 26 Crazy Town have nonsensical offensive lyrics performed by immature, nasally annoying rappers. The only good parts from their only hit are sampled by RHCP. They are only responsible for the bad thing about it. The rest of their music is just cringeworthy. Hinder and Theory are just bland sellouts, and Kid Rock is either you love it or hate it. Wheatus aka Teenage Dirt bag gets an honorable mention for whiny, premature vocals.
@@TheJbhmetal Your comment is proving why Rock music is dead.
Rock music is supposed to offend and cause a stir, Rock music is supposed to be wild and aggressive.
@Nu-Metalfan 26 There's more to rock music than that. Yes, it's supposed to be wild and aggressive, but not like these bands. There's plenty of good rock bands that offend, but they do it with logic, style, or by accident. The bands that you defend are like teenage bullies. But, you like anything nu metal
Take a shot everytime Bardy says "Seen"
Im wasted
I can't complain because I have issues with word repetition as well. Then again, I'm not AI with instant access to the entire English language and all synonyms.
I wonder if “The Undertaker” would agree with this ;)
"Often seen" must be Google Bard's favorite phrase.
Trapt is my choice, I thought Headstrong sucked back when it first came out, Trashbag Brown is terrible and not just because he has no talent and singing ability and his politics suck, and they basically peaked with their first song and refuse to admit that they aren’t very good…
Headstrong is still getting played on the radio to this day.
I'm really surprised seen here Linkin Park!!! This band is way better than others from that era. Still miss Chester. Greetings from northern México.
Man, 5 of my favourite bands made it on this list. Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach, Linkin Park and Seether
Yeah basically the same with me with the exception of Papa Roach (I don't listen to them as much as the other ones)
i thought the run of 3DG, Breaking Benjamin, and Seether was gonna be the peak of my dander with this list. But then Linkin Park...
I feel like nu-metal, pop punk has gotten more love over the years. However the good one are the one that people remember & have fond with (Korn, Deftones, Blink-182, Green Day etc.). 2000's Post-Grunge though is much worse. There's a lot of bad nu-metal back then however they're forgotten now.
I'd argue that the only Post Grunge bands that aren't looked well fondly are Puddle of Mudd, Hinder, Theory of a Deadman, Trapt and Saliva. The rest like Foo Fighters, Adam Gontier era Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Shinedown, Bush, Silverchair, Chevelle, Stone Sour, Halestorm, Alter Bridge, Flyleaf, Jagged Little Pill era Alanis Morissette, Avril Lavigne's albums Let Go and Under My Skin etc and even bands like Incubus that get lumped in that category still get airplay to this day and still hold up.
Nice Avril pfp
@@lethybridtheorygolucastheo2191 Bush and Silverchair are just considered regular grunge; they came out before the post-grunge era. I didn't know Alanis Morissette was considered grunge by anyone, though Jagged Little Pill did come out in the same time period. I have never heard people call Avril Lavigne post-grunge, usually pop-punk or pop-rock (she's mostly the latter).
But the first five bands you mentioned are probably the post-grunge bands that get the most hate.
The best nu metal tended to be earlier works where you could still notice the influences. Early Korn, Mudvayne, Incubus, SOAD, and a bunch of more obscure acts were more funky and complex, obviously inspired by Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Primus, RHCP, Jane’s Addiction, etc. And then Deftones came at the genre from a more post-hardcore direction. The worst of nu metal was the more explicitly rap influenced bands like Limp Biskit, Papa Roach, and Trapt. All of that has aged horribly.
Limp Bizkit were terrible. They made two albums that were great, but Chocolate shit and the shitty shit fish was an album just to get as much swearing ....why. Unfortunately even their :good" stuff doesn't hold up back in 2000, doesn't hold up.
Bro has beef with Limp Bizkit ☠️☠️☠️
Totally agree with Staind. But I will say the first album was damn good musically. Heavy as hell. Same whiny lyrics but more bearable because the music was decent. From the second album on it was just trash.
I was curious and went onto ChatGPT to see what it would spit out for me. Here’s the results.

I can’t believe Theory Of A Dead Man, Trapt, Simple Plan, Buckcherry, or HINDER didn’t get on here but Breaking Benjamin, TDG (2000s era) and LINKIN PARK did.
Yeah Bardy has some more explaining to do.
Creed AND Staind being lower than them too 😂😂😂
I was surprised not to see Simple Plan here. Even the biggest pop-punk fans I know hate Simple Plan with a passion.
Three Days Grace? SERIOUSLY? How!? Why!?
They were my favorite band for years. I cannot believe they would be on anyone (or anything’s) worst list.
The only thing more shocking is that Linkin Park is on here.
Lol. I love all of them. The list is wrong , shitty Bender sucks.
Linkin Park doesn’t belong on this list tbh. They were arguably one of the best rock bands of the 2000s.
That papa roach clip awoke so many memories I'd forgotten of me playing smackdown vs raw 2008 when I was little
If Nickleback was anywhere other than number 1, I’d be shocked. Limp Bizkit is one of those bands that we loved in middle/high school, jammed to it, and sang along to every song. Then one day, we just realized how bad they were. I will admit, I still rock “Break Stuff” every once in a while.
Google Bard is often seen as an AI that can’t come up with more than a few unique phrases when describing something.
You can definitely hear that in the video.
