Another fun fact: nothing is worse than Creed. Nickleback is the easy punching bag, Creed is the true villain of post-grunge.

And they were so popular! I remember downloading Dragonball GT Anime Music Videos from Kazaa set to "Take Me Higher".
I remember people saying โEven Jesus hates Creedโ
Shit was bad, and I hate that itโs in all of these fucking TikTok videos. Leave it alone kids!
tiktok is the only format where creed excels because it has good soundbites, but terrible everything else. "Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm slipping" makes a good 10 second soundbite to suggest something more in the style tiktok and other very short form content has, where the idea isn't a whole video about it, it's the suggestion, the vibe of a very particular situation
What's really funny is that some of the better bands of this whole movement were actually Christian bands that I found out were Christian until much later?
Have you heard of Alter Bridge? It's what Creed became when their lead singer had some mental problems. I know a guy who that's his favorite band

Look at this photograph.
Everytime I do it makes me laugh.
My uncle, who's 5 years older than me, was my entry point to music. And he listened to this and a lot of alternative rock from the early 2000s. It's so fucking dire, but at the same time a bit nostalgic, if only because i listened to it before i could figure out my own music taste.
Limp Bizkit did 9-11
I hope you know I pack a Boeing 767! Whaaaat???? And I'm gonna skin your 1,368ft building rawww!!
You kids with your skibidi toilets and jojo siwas. You'll never understand. You weren't there, man! You weren't there! 
I mean, it's easy to dump on the music of that time. but for all you Monday morning quarterbacks, what mass culture radio-friendly art was even possible for white american suburbia when history ended?
there was no Spotify that would populate an infinite playlist for you just based on your affection for a single you heard in your favorite treat commercial. what we were offered was a buffet of engineered, corporate committee designed and painstakingly crafted Rebellious Coolโข.
it wore t-shirts, jeans and had spiky hair with frosted tips. it wore wrap around shades indoors and had "tribal" tattoos. it wore skate shoes and wallet chains.
Ska was at least happy jumpy music, pop punk, while not much better, was a bit more interesting as a scene.
Post grunge was just void of all the interest or meaning grunge had. All it had left was vague white anger and whiny misogyny.
CW mention of suicide

Hey that song is kinda good. Now you have to hear this which elevates it to new heights.

If you were too twisted for that bro stuff, there was a whole other awful flavor of angry white boi: Linkin Park, Papa Roach, koRn, Slipknot, powerman 5000
Kudos my hero, farting all the best
The only good piece music to come from post grunge was the first Foo Fighters album but its only post grunge by technicality
But I was workimg at a country bar last year and they would be blasting post grunge in the kitchen I ended up blasting Techno and rave music as a reaction to that surprisingly they were really fucking with it
Terrible, but in case want something even more terrible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTOBvGzurxA&pp=ygUOYnVzaCB3YXMgcmlnaHQ%3D
