How did they do it, Sup Forums? How did they make an album of nothing but wacky nu-metal songs and got such praise for it?

>nu-metal
You're right. I never realized it before, but it IS nu-metal. I'll never be able to like this again.

>released at the height of nu-metal popularity
>swedish
>ornette coleman reference to draw in faux-patricians
>featured on a tony hawk game to attract children

pretty obvious why this was a hit

Worst New Meme

mindless self indulgence

it really does sound like Korn

>muh animal rights

if the shape of punk to come is is nu metal then im a nu metal fan goddammit

>im a nu metal fan
MODS

They have a clear message, wether you agree with it or not, that definetely pleases journalists. They are catchy, have their own sound (I'm not saying they are super-mega-unique, but no one can say their sound was overused by the time they played it), and Dennis is a energetic and charismatic frontman. Great live.

And yes, it is obvious from my post that I really like that record. But I do think that above are pretty much facts.

but nu metal is/was good

no in fact not, why?

Triggered

How did they do it, Sup Forums? How did they make an album of nothing but wacky Taylor Swift songs and not ruin their legacy?

Because it's standard for 90s artists to make shit-awful comeback albums

It doesn't affect the greatness of their classics

bump

I wish this nu-metal meme would die.

Refused is nothing but inauthentic garbage, please delete this post off of this image board.

>inauthentic
Oh do you know them personally?

Fuck no, I would kill myself if I ever had to interact with any of these frauds.

You're just jealous because you're stuck in the linear timeline that the modern ways of production has forced upon us.

CAUGHT BY THE DEADLY RHYTHEM

I love when random bands get memed on and don't deserve it

Best band i've ever seen live

>mfw i started this meme

This board's culture and collective sense of humour is pretty shitty. Pick band, pick baseless comparison, meme

>Refused = nu metal xD
>Radiohead = Coldplay xD
>Everything Everything = Imagine Dragons xD
>Cardiacs/ Bungle = sporks xD

It's really lazy humour but I guess I would've found it funny when I was 16 too. It just gets tiresome wading through the shitposting sometimes

why does one guy post it every. single. day.

Oh shit, new meme

Yeah they're certainly up there. Where did you see them?

Why do basically every trip write completely shitty posts?

Shouldn't the point of tripping be to withhold a decent standard for the board?

>Cardiacs/ Bungle = sporks
>Everything Everything = Imagine Dragons
These are true

how isn't Cardiacs and Mr. Bungle lelsorandom :p humor music?

Then how do you know they are inauthentic?

People have been shitting on Refused for a long time. Even the description for NoU on Dischord's website shits on Refused. Refused are fucking terrible

...

>This board's culture and collective sense of humour
>collective sense of humour
>humour

Meme or no meme it's true
What next? You going to say that MSI = Cardiacs without the prog isn't applicable?

>Refused are fucking terrible

*Refused are fucking dead.

Get it right

was that a reference to Swans?

no you piece of shit it's a name of one their songs

>google suggests something after I type a word and a word boundary that leaves no other real options, therefore the first term must be the genre alluded to in the second term
dumb

I mean, I only knew it was the name of their last live album

> people have been shitting on Refused for a long time

And this means they're bad? Pleb.

>getting this assblasted that you had to take that screenshot and post it

taylor swift has hip hop in one of her songs though

nu metal was good

haha it is pretty bad, isn't it guys? or is it just a meme? please tell me so I know if I like it

This and Yank Crime are pretty much the only post-hardcore albums I don't find boring.

I guess the first couple of Fugazi records are okay and I love some other stuff like Unwound's last album and Spiderland that have post-hardcore influences but aren't 'pure' post-hardcore

Anyway, meme is lame. Oh well

>Radiohead = Coldplay xD
You are aware that Coldplay and Muse are seen as inferior, watered down versions of Radiohead, right? It's not that Radiohead is like Coldplay, it's that Coldplay rips off Radiohead.

Yeah, this. Along with pretending Vektor is good, this is the stupidest trend to invade Sup Forums as of late.

This used to be one of the few albums we could all agree was great.

because it gets replies

>he missed the pre-release meming

lucky guy

That riff on Summerholidays vs. Punkroutine is like the catchiest thing ever

Have you not been on the board this past month?

It's Jon Brännström being butthurt about being kicked out.

I swear I've never seen this meme until recently but apparently it's way older than I thought...

>missing out on the hottest new memes and trying to act like you know your shit

ornette coleman started the meme

It's just fairly normal sounding hardcore and post-hardcore. I think what throws people off is that the album presents itself as some sort of edgy shit.

That "better be forgotten" song is pretty awesome

Patrician: Nation of Ulysses/Make-Up fan during from late 80s to 2000 or so
Patrician's slightly dorky younger brother: Obsessed with that Refused album

Have you listened to Nation of Ulysses? It stands to reason you would enjoy Plays Pretty for Baby, and probably a lot of other Dischord shit.

I GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH CAPITALISM AND A FEW TO BREAAAAAAAAAAAAKE

CAN I MEME?

deftones were legit, I kind of have a soft spot for linkin park as well due to being obsessed with them from my childhood. everything else i've heard was utterly abysmal though, including sometimes "acceptable" nu metal like korn.

YEAH!

The only bad thing about this album is that its title was wrong.

Honestly I've never heard another punk album that combines hardcore vocals/ riffing and catchy hooks in quite the same way. I guess the nu-metal meme is an easy shitpost to make because at times it is genuinely very accessible - I could certainly see some of my plebbiest friends enjoying some songs like Liberation Frequency, Summerholidays and New Noise if it weren't for the vocals (which they would almost definitely decry as unlistenable shit, before returning to their fucking Disturbed albums without a hint of irony or self-awareness)

My only wish is that this actually was the shape of the punk that came after it. If anyone has any recs for something similar that isn't just a list of nu-metal bands, please post.

Just so you guys know.

this site is cute, thanks

In the wake of our existence, in our shitposts and in our memes;
touch, see and behold the wisdom of the party program.
Essential in our lifetime and irresistible in our touch,
the great spirits proclaim that
plebeianism is indeed organized crime and we are all the victims.
This next one is called Sup Forums Party Program.

And here I thought you had learned something from this meme.

wew nice one there Vektorspammer

actually you didn't, cause I did it first
