The year 2000 represented a kind of turning point in popular rock music, fully representative of the shift in trends and ideals for the genre. Back in the early '90s, politics and sincerity were at the forefront of the genre. Hip-hop would mesh with rock music to become a form of protest, allowing for acts like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, Living Colour to set a stage for Rage Against the Machine to conquer. Rage's message gave listeners the tools to adopt politics into their daily lives, making big ideas easily digestible.

For many, nu-metal marked a noted shift in message, keeping the anger but losing its politics. Limp Bizkit were the poster children of the genre, with frontman Fred Durst as the perfect target for criticism.
