10 Most Overrated Metal Bands Of All Time

10. Hollywood Undead

It's time that we all realize that nu metal stayed around far too long at the party. Since most of the sounds of garage rock and pop punk were looking to take its place on the throne, some of the most underwhelming angry white boy music started to come out in the mid '00s, from acts like Adema trying to make hits to some of the most candified versions of the genre to date. And when you're talking about the friendlier side of nu metal, it doesn't get any more repugnant than with Hollywood Undead.

Originally looking like it was Hot Topic's answer to Slipknot, most of the band's catalog hasn't real withstood the test of time in the slightest, going for more of the alpha male bravado than saying anything meaningful. Hell, even when they were trying to say something meaningful, songs like Bullet is a lot more cringy when you look back on it today.

If anything, this was one of the few bands that made people actively flee from the genre, knowing that the JNCO jean stripe of rock music jumped the shark more than a few times.

Any band can just not make very good music, but when you have music that's so bad that it's turning people away from the genre, you're going to need to seriously go back to the drawing board.
