Nu Metal genre
editNu metal genre.
Multiple sources claim Limp Bizkit to be a, first and foremost, a nu metal band; including:
Limp Bizkit’s profile at Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/se/artist/limp-bizkit/105544?l=en-GB — “Nu Metal pioneers”.
Spotify’s official Nu Metal play list, featuring Fred Durst on the cover. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXcfZ6moR6J0G
On each and every Loudwire article, for example, https://loudwire.com/best-limp-bizkit-album-vote/ — “one of the most beloved Nu Metal bands”, and https://loudwire.com/limp-bizkit-cover-metallica-master-puppets-videos/ — “Nu Metal version”.
On each and every Metal Hammer / Louder Than Sound article, for example: https://www.loudersound.com/news/limp-bizkit-fred-durst-new-look-european-tour — “nu metal daddies”, and https://www.loudersound.com/news/limp-bizkit-gunenrsbury-park-london-announced — “nu metal legends”.
Fred Durst referring to himself as the “king of nu metal” on track 4 “Turn It Up, B*tch” from their latest album ‘Still Sucks’ (2021).
Additionally -and on the same song- referring to the band as “nu metal one hit wonders”.
Wikipedia’s Nu metal page: “Nu metal became popular in the late 1990s with bands and artists such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot all releasing albums that sold millions of copies.”
The Guardian: https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2023/aug/13/limp-bizkit-review-piece-hall-halifax-nu-metal — “nu metal elders”.
Multiple Revolver articles including: https://www.revolvermag.com/music/10-wildest-nu-metal-performances — “Wild nu metal performances”.
Multiple Kerrang! Articles including: https://www.kerrang.com/amp/limp-bizkit-how-significant-other-saw-the-nu-metal-anti-heroes-take-over-the-world — “the nu Metal anti-heroes”
These are just a few examples (quick google search, first hits) to prove that Limp Bizkit is widely recognized as a nu metal band. Acknowledged by the band members themselves, the media, the critics and the fans.
Hope with this information you reconsider your position and change the main genre on their Wikipedia page.
