## Resource

It's 'Wang' 26 and this week on the podcast, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most divisive eras in rock history… Nu Metal! Adidas tracksuits. Chain wallets. DJ scratches. Angsty screams. Woodstock ’99 literally going up in flames.Was it a genuine evolution of heavy music or a frat-boy fueled regression that undid everything the ‘90s stood for? From Korn and Limp Bizkit to Linkin Park and Slipknot, we’re breaking down the good, the bad, and the genuinely ugly side of nu metal. The riffs, the rap-rock experiments, the emotional vulnerability and the misogyny, chaos, and terrible cover versions! Did nu metal bring heavy music to the mainstream? Did it help a generation of angry teenagers feel seen or did it accidentally soundtrack the collapse of culture? Let’s find out! Stupid & Contagious STORE https://stupid-contagious-podcast.myshopify.com Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation! That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond. We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s. If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!
