    Doing homework was never cool.and white suburban kids were never forced by bad grades to join the military. As lame as nu-metal and pop punk is and was, it was generally anti war

      Hell, CHUDs are more to blame for any drop in grades among white students than any leftist op could ever dream of.

      Whose idea is it to cut funding in rural schools? White supremacist Republicans. Who hollowed out the rust belt, Midwest, and southern states? White supremacist capitalists (to their credit, the Dems DEFINITELY helped on this one.)

      Yeah, man. School sucks, remember?

      I don't buy that White suburban kids suffered the burden of the military the most. They didn't do their homework and still managed to fail upwards into middle management and executive positions after still somehow getting into college. We should all be so lucky to have had that life.

    Alien ant farm really fucked up when they covered that MJ song. It completely overshadowed the rest of their Anthology album, which is otherwise a really solid album for the era. I still hum to Movies, Courage and Happy Death Day.

    If you can, pirate Anthology and listen for yourself. It's an incredible time capsule of the early '00s and the last gasp of a dead genre.

    Matt Christman high pitch cackling at the realization that Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff" music video was filmed on top of the twin towers and aired on Sept. 10th 2001

    I remember thinking the Smooth Criminal cover wasn't bad, but I was never interested in digging deeper on the assumption that a band whose one hit song is a cover that is worse than the original is probably not writing great music.
