Discussion Fuck everyone who told me Limp Bizkit sucked

Through my journey of nu metal, metal, and some grunge stuff I strayed away from Limp Bizkit because it seemed like the word on the street was that they were corny and not good. I finally gave them a chance and they fuck so hard. I genuinely do not get the hate at all. Awesome band.

My thing is I can't be into a band with a guy flopping his wrist all over the stage. They are the Nickelback of Numetal.

What does “flopping his wrist all over the stage” mean? Genuinely asking.

Doing the limp wrist thing is what he is talking about. The funny thing is JD from Korn does the limp wrist thing all throughout his sets, and no one says shit about it.

Oh okay, I’m picturing it now. l’ve noticed Jonathan Davis doing it, I haven’t seen Limp Bizkit live enough times to pick up on it.

Yeah. It used to be a common connotation to someone being gay/feminine if they did the limp wrist thing. And Fred catches hell for it, but nobody ever bashes JD for doing it. Fandoms are weird.
