Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony

Alt Text: an image of Agent Smith from The Matrix with the following text superimposed, "1999 was described as being the peak of human civilization in 'The Matrix' and I laughed because that obviously wouldn't age well and then the next 25 years happened and I realized that yeah maybe the machines had a point."
We had passed the peak. Limp Bizkit was already popular. Every dude I know that loved that band is now a middle aged incel.
Checks out. I lived through those times and see the same trend. Fuck that band was intolerable.
Fred Durst isn't a bad singer, he did a pretty good cover of behind blue eyes. Looking at reviews it wasn't super popular but I thought it was decent.
I feel like they used a lot of help from ProTools to make him some better on that one, though. Since there want really auto tune back then.
