Have you seen teenagers recently wear ball chain necklaces, black lipstick, baggy jeans, and Slipknot shirts? Have you wondered what's with all of the bounce rhythms infiltrating metalcore over the last few years? Oh, you haven't heard? NU-METAL IS BACK! 

Are you just as confused as we are? Did you, like us, put all of your money on ska coming back whereas nu-metal wasn't even on the bingo card?

In order to elucidate the resurgence of nu-metal, Judge Dredd talked with Holiday Kirk, the self-proclaimed CEO of nu-metal. Holiday is the editor-in-chief of the Nu Metal Agenda, the host of the Nu Metal Agenda podcast, and the man behind Twitter and Instagram's crazy ass moments in nu-metal history accounts.

Why have the conditions been ripe for the current nu-metal resurgence? What are the challenges of promoting and marketing music in the age of social media under the dwindling influence of big record labels? Can the resurgence of nu-metal mark the return of metal and rock music's prominence to mainstream audiences? What can extreme metal musicians and bands learn from nu-metal? Why is Chat Pile nu-metal? These questions and more will be answered in this episode of the BUTT METAL BLAST CAST!
