It's not really hard to be the best nu metal band, OP...

trust funds

probably has something to do with the fact that they branched out of nu metal after their debut

you know that around the fur wasn't their debut right?

they weren't really nu metal

They weren't as inbred

yes but the shoegays and alt metal influences are super prevalent here, way more than adrenaline

>better than all the other nu metal bands
>still fucking sucked

Deftones were nu-metal + shoegaze, so of course they're the most popular on Any Forums. They were the most "hip" of nu-metal bands.

Because they were the only ones influenced by The Smiths

they were incels unlike the rest of the chad bands

>tfw deftones is only popular among zoomers because of tiktok thirst traps

Korn, LB, Slipknot being chad is total revisionism.

Even Pantera wasn't as 'chad' as sometimes portrayed, but they certainly were compared to the sololess hip hop influenced stuff which followed.

>alt metal influence
i think this is why they're so good. they took notes from quicksand and helmet as much as they did from hip-hop. also post-hardcore influence, they're drive like jehu and jawbox fans
pretty sure they werent rich kids. they grew up in oak park sacramento which isnt that nice of a neighborhood

One of them (I think Stephen) was hit by a car as a kid, and they used the settlement money to buy a bunch of instruments and equipment. Not rich kids.

They spiked their metal with a lot of MBV

They sing about sex and drugs, it’s better than songs about childhood traumas, politics and other shit.

this. to be listening to nu metal in the first place you would have been far from chad.

>muh rich kids dicking around

they weren't nu-metal past the first album
