What do you mean by cool AGAIN?

I didn't like Limp Bizkit in high school because they were at their peak popularity. Every white dude was wearing a red baseball cap backwards, that whole thing. It was a little too much for me. In 2021 I would consider myself a greatest hits fan and would probably see them live.

I'm having 1999 flashbacks. One of my friends played Limp Bizkit, Rob Zombie, Insane Clown Possie, Korn, and Kid Rock everyday in the car. Remember when Insane Clown Possie was a thing? That was some shitty music! LOL

Had a friend in high school who eventually became some sort of venue guy who set up shows. I think he mostly worked in the city but did the Gathering of the Juggallo thing a few times. If I recall correctly he was not disappointed when he didn't have to do it anymore. Can't remember if he got senior enough to say no or the contract went somewhere else or if he even mentioned why but he was happy to be done with it.

I generally think of them as an above average band with a sub-average frontman/singer/lyricist.
See also: Motley Crue, Ratt, Rage Against The Machine (some might say Smashing Pumpkins, I would not be one of those people).
These guys could PLAY, but the singer got in the way. The music itself in "My Way", "Break Shit", even "Nookie" are all bomb tracks with bad vocal performances/lyrics. Limp Bizkit has never offended me to the level of a Godsmack, Sublime, or Disturbed level of disgust. Durst is a pretty funny guy to boot. It's fine.

I mean, let's be fair, everyone knows the lyrics to Nookie. It was a great song, no matter how much you hate Durst. That said, it doesn't make them cool again because they were never cool in the first place.

I watched the set (on youtube). It was fun. Wes is still an animal.

My 23 year old niece saw them at Lolla. They played opposite Megan Thee Stallion but she and her friends refused to leave because they were having so much fun at Limp Bizkit.

The movie Durst directed wasn't terrible either Yeah Nookie was painfully on the nose but it fit the era and was fun. True though that Durst was never "cool" he was always only popular in a Joe Dirt way. Doesn't mean he wasn't entertaining. He also did a good job of marketing himself and his band, which much better musicians have no ability to do and that is part of the job.
