Nirvana was an American crunge band formed by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen in 1987. The band went through a succession of drummers, with Chad Channing staying the longest until he was replaced in 1990 by Dave Grohl, their definitive drummer.
Everyone knows how this famous band ended :'( I know it's kinda silly to start recommending a band everyone knows, but many don't really listen to their full discography, only their famous hits :3
In my opinion, In Utero is their most defined work and probably the best :D but their discography has some really authentic tracks ;)

Snot is an American nu metal band from Santa Barbara, California. Formed in 1995, the band released their only studio album Get Some with founding vocalist Lynn Strait in 1997 and disbanded after his death in 1998. :(
The band was formed by singer Lynn Strait, the former bassist of a local punk band, Lethal Dose, and lead guitarist Mikey Doling, formerly of Kronix. :v After building a strong following with performances in Los Angeles, Snot signed with Geffen Records and began work on their debut album with producer T-Ray. The album, titled Get Some, was released on May 13, 1997. :3
The band performed on the 1998 Ozzfest tour. On July 9, 1998, Strait was arrested in Mansfield, Massachusetts, after emerging nude from the oversized toilet prop used by Limp Bizkit in their performances XD. They later began work on their second album, but on December 11, 1998, Strait died in a car accident when a truck struck his car, killing him and his dog, Dobbs. :( The band disbanded after his death, with Doling saying, “We can’t go on without Lynn. It’s just bullshit when bands do that.”
Snot mixed funk, punk, and nu metal in a unique way that made them stand out. Their tribute album Strait Up (2000) featured members of Korn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Sevendust and more — proof that they had the potential to become one of the best :’)

At the time I'm writing this, bassist Sam Rivers has recently passed away. So, as a small tribute, it feels right to mention Limp Bizkit — one of the most iconic nu metal bands ever. :(
Limp Bizkit is an American nu metal band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 1994. The band’s members are Fred Durst (vocals), Wes Borland (guitar), Sam Rivers (bass), John Otto (drums), and DJ Lethal (turntables). :v
Their first album, Three Dollar Bill, Y’all$ (1997), is my favorite of the band. Yeah, it’s true that their lyrics aren’t the deepest, but that’s fine — not everything has to be super meaningful or poetic. The feeling and energy matter more :3
Limp Bizkit mixed rap, metal, funk, and attitude in a way that defined a whole generation of late 90s kids. Tracks like Counterfeit, Pollution, and their famous cover of Faith show that raw, chaotic emotion that made them unique ;)

Slipknot is an American band formed in 1995 in Des Moines, Iowa. Known for their aggressive style and chaotic live shows, they became one of the most influential names in the late 90s nu metal scene :v
The early lineup changed several times before settling on the well-known nine members: Corey Taylor (vocals), Jim Root and Mick Thomson (guitars), Paul Gray (bass), Joey Jordison (drums), Craig Jones (samples), Sid Wilson (DJ), Shawn Crahan and Chris Fehn (percussion). Their visual identity and masked style made them stand out :3
The band’s debut album Slipknot (1999) and its follow-up Iowa (2001) defined their sound — a mix of heavy riffs, fast drumming, and raw emotion. Over time, there were several lineup changes: Paul Gray passed away in 2010, replaced by Alessandro Venturella. Joey Jordison left in 2013 (and later passed away in 2021), with Jay Weinberg taking his place. Chris Fehn left in 2019, followed by Craig Jones and Jay Weinberg in 2023.
Slipknot’s sound mixes metal, industrial, and emotional tension, creating something intense and distinctive. Even with all their member changes, the band kept their chaotic yet focused identity >:3
