Nah, Five Finger Dick Pull is the Nickelback of groove metal. At least Nickelback don’t proudly virtue signal how much they lick the boot. I love these artists who have taken over the heavy music their parents were afraid of over the years who posture themselves as rebels while gobbling Uncle Sam’s cock while roaring “yes daddy please” into it like a microphone before singing one of their “I’m a big man who stands on my own, please believe me!” anthems.

Hed was nu metal. Then went through a phase where they desperately virtue signaled how much they hate nu metal every chance they got and even going as far as shitting on the fan base they built during their early years. There’s no Hed pe without Wesstyle however, imo. Probably not a popular opinion, though.
