So the Trash Theory youtube channel released a more indepth follow up to their How Nu Metal Became Nu Metal video.

It's a bit long, but the music clips keep it moving. He brought up some things I didn't know about, like Public Enemy sampling Slayer, and some things I forgot about, like the Judgement Night soundtrack, which was pure genre busting fire at the time.

It might be helpful to watch the earlier video first, at the least it's much shorter.

There's also a playlist with many of the songs mentioned or sampled in both videos:

I blame Faith.

Limp Bizkit married the two when they covered George Michael.

I blame Carson Daly, he and TRL really blurred the lines between pop and nu metal. Like, there's no reason Korn and Britney Spears should be on the same countdown but they absolutely were

That also came up, Freak On A Leash's crazy TRL dominance. But that was more after Nu Metal became pop.
