re: How misguided were kids when they chose grunge over hair metal?

Nu Metal was all about energy. A lot of grunge stuff was very subdued and numb.
I find that popular music goes in cycles:
Happy/fun > sad/chill > angry/hyper > repeat.
Nu metal took what was catchy from hip/hop, the angst from grunge, and cranked the energy levels up to 100. People were tired of numb grunge and safe pop rock. They wanted something simultaneously less sad but more edgy they could let loose to. Watch videos from Woodstock 99, and that concert was lit AF. Limp Bizkit had those people losing their minds.

Very UnWoodstock like. But Woodstock 99 was a shitshow from the start.
