Today’s compilation:

Kerrang! The Album 2001 Nu Metal / Alternative Metal / Hard Rock / Industrial Rock / Heavy Metal / Post-Grunge / Metalcore / Pop-Rock / Rap-Rock

Piggybacking here off of a post I did a few weeks ago in which I made two separate points: one, it's totally okay that you liked bad music at one point in your life and you should feel free to listen to that music and admit that you still like it even though it's bad, and two, we've pretty much decided as a society to go ahead and almost completely memory hole the fact that in the early aughts, outside of the boy bands, Britney, Christina, and Eminem, both nu metal and butt rock were the most popular forms of music in America. Bands sold albums that went multi-platinum, they sold out nationwide tours, and they had longform magazine cover stories written about them.

But what a lot of people don't seem to realize is that nu metal and butt rock weren't just some completely American phenomenon either; they were hugely popular in the UK, too. What, you thought the Brits just all listened to Radiohead or some shit back in 2000? How presumptuous of you! No! Wrong!

Case in point, Kerrang!, a British music weekly that's been known to transform the focus of its content every few years or so to meet the popularity of whatever the current rock moment is. They started out by examining the new wave of British heavy metal and hard rock back in the early 80s, but guess what their main area of focus was by the early 2000s? That's right, nu metal and butt rock! And guess what else? At that point in time, Kerrang! was also the bestselling music weekly in Great Britain, somehow managing to outsell the likes of the much heralded NME. So, believe me when I say that the UK has been just as cringeworthy with its collective taste in music as America has been.

With all that in mind then, I find myself enjoying a decent bit of this Kerrang! double-discer. Could it have been winnowed down to just one CD? Probably. More of it’s baaad filler than isn’t. But then again, I wasn’t the target audience for this thing back in 2001. My knowledge of nu metal and butt rock is really only at the surface level in that I’m only familiar with the stuff that was played on MTV, top 40 radio, and at sporting events. And those are the songs from this comp that I tend to hold near and dear to my heart, except for this one Pitchshifter song, which I’d never heard before listening to this comp, but they sound like if The Prodigy somehow ran out of both fame and money and decided to try to cash in on the nu metal gimmick, which is a sort of alternative timeline that entertains me to no end when I think about it.

So, in conclusion, is Kid Rock simply one of the most embarrassingly bad acts of all time and also trash personified? One hundred percent. But when "Bawitdaba" comes on, am I gonna transport myself back to 2000 and sing my heart out to it just like I did all those years ago? Also one hundred percent. Bad music can be good for your soul.

Seconded!
