Growing up in rural white America, the adults listened to a wide variety of rock bands, like Metallica, Megadeth, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, White Zombie, stuff like that. There was a lot of country too, like Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Johnny Cash, though I never really liked country music. The kids listened to older music like Misfits, Siouxsie, Ministry, Joy Division, and also listened to a lot of relatively newer stuff like Slipknot, Disturbed, A7V, Korn, Limp Bizkit, FFDP, and System of a Down. The weirdos listened to Paramore, MCR, KMFDM, PATD, and Taking Back Sunday. The real niggas listened to stuff like God Module, Suicide Commando, Die Krupps, Flesh Field, Eisbrecher, and Grendel. In hindsight, a lot of it wasn't particularly good, but I do feel some nostalgia coming across something I heard a lot in my childhood. Personally, I think the end of the 2000s marked the end of explicitly white music genres, and initiated the force-feeding of black music upon American whites.

Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit,

I feel like these bands were only ever popular because of they were pushed by jewish viacom. That decade was still controlled by the now defunct MTV.

Probably, yeah. Most of these bands were pushed hard by MTV, as you said, even the ones from the 80s. I stand by my original position though, music stopped being explicitly white by the end of the 2000s. Say what you want about them but could you see guys like Korn of Limp Bizkit blowing up in today's America?

No. Not black or gay enough.
