- News Commentary
Are you into nu metal?
Thanks in part to the explosive docu-series like Trainwreck and Woodstock 99, niche bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit are gaining traction again. And while nu metal is, was, and probably always "suck" to many critics, today the genre seems to be having a moment.
Today's guest stumbled his way to the front of this digital conversation, which has since led him to launch The Nu Metal Agenda — a place for exchanging "crazy ass moments in nu metal history" and where the diverse and ever-expanding nu metal culture comes together.
Music journalist Holiday Kirk joins us from his home studio in Los Angeles, California to talk about everything from bad billionaires to high school haters, toxic masculinity in nu metal culture, and making nu metal go viral decades after peak commercial popularity.
