It’s just one of those podcast episodes where you just wanna break stuff! Eric K. Ward, Senior Advisor at the Western States Network joins Brandi and Steven to talk about the most derided musical genre of the 90s: Nu Metal.
Brandi and Steven debate which band was the ultimate Nu Metal band: Korn or Limp Bizkit. Tune in to find out who survives this mosh pit.
This episode features a deep dive on Nu Metal, from the fusion of rock and hip-hop in the late 80s, the rise of the MTV generation, and the genre's apex moment at Woodstock 99.
With Eric Ward we discuss Black Flag’s Nervous Breakdown EP, the rise of white nationalism in the Northwest, and growing up in Los Angeles, Fugazi and white nationalism in the Pacific Northwest.
Brandi makes her case for why Korn was the best band. Steven believes its Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit. What do you think?
