This song is a massive guilty pleasure but I find it hilarious that theyâre giving it large about drinking gin

I mean i canât answer that so maybe blaclface is too far but I definitely feel thereâs so,string uncomfortabke about some of the outfits
Dreads and a kinda papa shango thing going on.
Donât think limp bizkit lyrics have ever been progressive or subversive so it feels off to me
I was 26 when I first heard Limp Bizkit, see if you can guess whether I like them
Which reminds me, the song My Generation seems to be written for generation X. Did Fred Durst believe that his main audience was people born between 1965 and 1980 or was that it in 2000 millennials werenât a thing and anybody young was still thought of as generation X?

IMO itâs that he (correctly) assumed that his target audience of teenage millennials would not question his age and would happily shout along to the song regardless

Not my thing but I can see why folk would like them. Thereâs definitely a few bangers in there.
I saw them at Leeds 2000. They were the band everyone wanted to see and were hyped up to a ridiculous extent in Melody Maker and Kerrang (Despite this, they only had a mid-afternoon slot - followed by The Bluetones). Youâd have thought they were going to bring on the downfall of society, the way the magazines were talking about them. Anyway, they came on stage and were probably the closest to a boy band the festival had - More pop than Daphne & Celeste who at least managed to do something badass in pissing off a bunch of teenage edgelord fucks. They had glitter cannons ffsâŠ
Letâs go with a 2.

It would have been a 2 but the Lollapalooza set (which Iâve watched about four times now) knocks it up to a 4. My Way is also a huge undeniable banger.
Iâve given 1 to counter this 5
Ha aye genuinely love this cover

Agreed, it basically a straight cover isnât it? It just seemed a really strange choice of song to cover though

I am awarding the band Limp Bizkit a score of 1/5.

I think that itâs easy enough to just be aware of the connotations whatever the reasons or context behind it and avoid doing it altogether tbh. Also gives a convenient excuse to people doing blackface to claim they werenât trying to emulate or mock POC etc (for example in Cornwall where the proponents of âdarkie dayâ claim theyâre recreating soot on the face of coalminers while also having Gollywogs tied to their clothing). Not saying this is what youâre doing here btw, just my thoughts on the matter in general.

no strong feelings either way. iâve no nu metal nostalgia
I like that this isnât just a â1â fest - Hereâs some nostalgia - does anyone else still have this?
I believe, it came with a stick of gum, and some other stuff!?

Yeah its fine. Not great but not as laughable as was made out
I have a feeling it will still get a score in the low 2âs, but the nostalgia chat is pretty fun.

Slams the old â5â button.
What a band. Big, big gateway band for me and my mates, used to play 3 Dollar Bill and Significant Other on repeat whilst playing the old Warhammer. Brilliant stuff, big, stupid metallic rock innit, so many hooks.
Saw them at Sonisphere in 2014, absolutely incredible. Doubt theyâve changed their set in about 20 years
Fun fact, asked for chocolate starfish for christmas and so did my cousin whoâs 3 years younger than me. I ended up with the censored version and he got the one with all them swears in it. 28 years old I wasâŠ
