Folks over at Metal Hammer have compiled a new list of Top 40 nu-metal songs, featuring some of the genre’s all-time favorites.
Metal Hammer noted: “The turn of the century was a more innocent time. A time when spiky red hair, parachute jeans, band hoodies and shouting at our parents were all the rage, and the radio waves were filled with crunching guitars growling men with questionable facial hair arrangements.
“That’s right – for us, the turn of the century will forever be synonymous with one thing, and one thing only: the reign of nu-metal.”
