From a chaotic live show to explicit lyrics to well-placed controversial comments in the press, Limp Bizkit have created a unique brand of music that has touched a nerve with the mainstream and attracted hordes of young fans in the process. Critics may decry their lyrics as childless, pointless and unduly rough, but their music offers a head-thrashing hypnotic quality that many other similar bands lack. Parents, take heed - this is not the music of your childhood and this is actually the point Limp Bizkit is trying todrive home. This chorus, as harsh as it, represents much of the frustration youth feel about the governing generation. Limp Bizkit provides a voice to the multitude of the masses who are, for the most part, preached to and generally talked down to.
Every generation has a voice.
Sixtie s kids defied the establishment by listening to the free-loving grooves of the Beatles and the Stones. The Seventies saw kids rock out to a new wave of harder artists such as Lep Zepplin and The Who. Many adults fail to realize that the current voice will pass to a new one, and so will the torch that Limp Bizkit currently holds, which the band freely admits. At a recent press conference lead singer Fred Durst stated that his band was merely part of a fad, one which would eventually fade away. He realizes, which many others fail to do, that as much as he enjoys the current success and stardom that he holds, it will not last forever.
