do metals have a greater ionnization energy than nonmetals?
Nu metal didn't bother me that much. It really just faded out and most of the nu metal bands just because alternative rock bands (Disturbed, Slipknot, ect). I hate hair metal and this new metalcore/deathcore bullshit the most. The worst is hearing people call deathcore and metalcore Death metal thinking they're the BR()()TAList kids ever.
Nu-metal was a bad time (still is)... Mostly, what killed it is the commercialization and subsequent softening of the genre. Any time it becomes fasion (sold at Hot Topic) it loses a bit of it's original sting. Each era has had it's downfall... the 80s had glam/hairspray/ballads... the 90s had angry nu-metal that didn't ever evolve... now we have pansy bands like Saliva, Puddle of Mud, Kid Rock, and whatever else, that have just tainted the heaviness into a bunch of crap. That's my answer. Also, I could have said that the death of metal happened when Metallica all cut their hair.
well genius, without glam metal, metal wouldn't have been as popular as it was and you wouldn't have most of the bands that are around now. metal started in the late 70's early 80's and without the 80's metal (glam) bands selling millions of records, metal wouldn't have gotten anywhere in the grand scheme of things. so if you think glam is the worst thing that happened to metal, you'd better rethink it. without glam, metal would be nowhere. and there's nothing wrong with nu metal. you all need to get off that whiney complaining trip you're on. and just for reference, nu metal re-sparked interest in metal back around 1997-98 or so, and so without that, again, you wouldn't have metal being as popular as it is NOW. nu metal brought metal back after years of low-to-no sales by the metal bands that came before and were killed by the 'grunge' thing. the worst thing that happened to metal is the fans that think that everything in metal sucks but what THEY like. (remind you of anyone?) metal was best when it was a brotherhood. now it's just a bunch of whiney, eliteist, babies that think they're better than everyone and that they know everything and that they're more 'brootal' than the whole world. THATS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO METAL. grunge is a very close second.
Meh, something bad has always happened to metal... Glam in the 80s Grunge in the early 90s Groove in the mid-90s Nu Metal in the late 90s Metalcore in the early 2000s Deathcore in the late 2000s Somehow metal has always bounced back... and even during those eras, there have always been good bands within bad genres (except deathcore, I have yet to hear a deathcore band that doesn't blow). Although I see a bit of a problem with deathcore... When glam died, people stopped buying glitter and hairspray. When grunge died, people threw out their flannel... What's gonna happen with all these deathcore kids who are tattooed from chin to sphincter and have holes in their ears the size of quarters? You really think these douche bags are gonna be able to transition into a life of normalcy after the **** they've done to their bodies? fc00.deviantart /fs39/f/2008/3... By looking like that they've unanimously decided to proclaim to the world I have nothing to contribute to society so I'll have to devote myself to music, but the crap they write is one of the most ******* awful sounds that has ever qualified as music. Hell, I can't decide what would be harder: for one of these jokers to get a job at Wal-Mart, or to make the transition from deathcore to decent music. It literally scares me that deathcore might have more staying power than the other ephemeral pseudo-metal genres like glam.
Not all glam metal was bad sound wise but I hate nu-metal
