Nickelback started later than most of these and got popular later too. So I thought shitting on nickelback was shitting on a relic of post grunge in general

A lot of people hated Metallica for the same reason.
If our last stand musically were something more memorable and less same-y than post grunge, we might still have mainstream genres today. I guess nu-metal counts though, it *was* a lot less same-y than post grunge at least. Nickelback cut themselves short to be honest, Chad Kroeger is way better as a metal vocalist

While this is true, it's still a low fucking bar. Pearl Jam (and maybe Alice in Chains?) was an exception of that genre; Nirvana was more the rule. In my ever-expanding search for unbelievable talent (after I gave up on post grunge ever moving in the right direction), I eventually found myself in the post hardcore/metalcore/progressive/indie rock genres. Which, "unbelievable" is right - apart from Anthony Green and Saosin (and Circa Survive), most of those singers are so overproduced in the studio and disappointing on stage. Still, lots of good guitar and stupid good drum work.
Even nirvana was a hardcore band from the start with bleach, and in utero has a couple of hardcore songs on it too, but that band is forever tainted by nevermind. Not a bad record, in all honesty, but extremely pop-adjacent. The formulaic songwriting on nevermind and the lead singles from in utero would fuck up rock forever, but nirvana themselves were more versatile than that.
On the topic, nu metal actually had a surprising amount of talent and innovation. I know it's the ugly stepchild of metal, but its really just because Fred durst acted like a douchebag in the 2000s. And the woodstock 99 disaster. If those 2 things didnt happen, it would be viewed more fondly. None of the bands sounded alike either. If you didn't like limp bizkit, you could listen to korn. If you didn't like system of a down, you could listen to deftones, etc. Lots going on with the genre. Some bands got extremely experimental, like static x. Some bands were bordering on extreme metal like early slipknot or ill niño. Everyone was experimenting to some degree, and it wasn't very formulaic or corporate at all (apart from the bands bordering on post grunge like papa roach or skindred)

It wouldn't matter. Remember that these jews control all the distribution. There was no music steaming in the 90s.
> It was never great ...
Yeah, you can STFU right there, buddy.
I mean in terms of popular opinion and lasting impact, not necessarily actively being played. People still adore grunge, which is older than post grunge and which apart from a couple of nirvana songs isn't played that much anymore
>Yeah, you can STFU right there, buddy.
Nu-metal solos post grunge no diff in the battle of the last popular white people genres. Post grunge was always extremely formulaic, safe, advertiser friendly, and quite frankly very often simply boring to listen to. Chad Kroeger is very talented in any case, more than his band's most popular work would show. His metallica covers and even nickelback's later work (and their earlier work before they went mainstream) kicks ass. He's a natural metal vocalist though, him imitating Kurt Cobain's style of singing from songs like heart shaped box doesn't help him none because that isn't his voice.
