Limp Bizkit is reuniting, but does anyone care?  email this discussion to a friend?

You may remember the late '90s: The aggro rap-rock. The snotty, carefree pop-punk. But do you care?Two dude rock bands from back in the day announced reunions recently, and the reaction has been a collective yawn.At the Grammys last month, the members of sophomoric but lovable pop-punk trio Blink-182 announced that they were reuniting.Even with drummer Travis Barker making his first major appearance post plane crash, the golf-clap response was tepid at best. A few days later, knuckleheaded "Nookie" enthusiasts Limp Bizkit announced that they were getting the nu-metal gang back together, too. (The latest rumblings are that Creed will also be back in 2009.) Since then I have yet to find a single person who cares. Which seems crazy now, considering that less than 10 years ago these groups were selling millions of records and filling arenas. (But of course, so were the Backstreet Boys.)They represented the commercial heights - and in Limp Bizkit's case, creative lows - of their respective movements. So, where are all the frat boys who also felt, acutely, that they needed something to break? What about those starter punks who "na-na-na-na"-ed away junior high school? Maybe they'll show themselves when tickets actually go on sale. But in these tough economic times, the two groups might want to consider banding together - and perhaps even raising bail money for the also-preserved-in-amber DMX - in order to launch the first serious, like, really dope, '90s nostalgia tour.So Limp Bizkit is reuniting, but does anyone care?

So many groups try the reunion thing and fail, the ones that done fail, per say, is because they were so popular during a curtain era or point in time. Limp Bizkit was never that big. They had a few good songs but they are not what some would say big time must see guys. They had their time to shine and they did. Then the burned out and should have just been happy with that. I guess it just goes to show how bad the economy really is.

Of all the late 90's early 00's (confused) bands I would want to see reunited, those would not be two of them. Those two would not even be on the list if I could list 1000 bands I would want to see reunited.

Normally, I can find some merit in just about any musical artist or group... sometimes I appreciate their lyric craft, other times there's just something catchy about their melodies. Blink 182 and Limp Bizkit, however, nothing. Not even a glimmer of a thought of potential appreciation for either of them.

In fact, I lost a little (albeit a VERY little) of my overall respect for Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend (which is kind of like a millionaire dropping a penny in the gutter but it still happened) for allowing blinkFred Durfblink the rights to cover Behind Blue Eyes for the movie Gothika.
