Chino Moreno: No one should be embarrassed by music they like that's dumb

"I think they probably always did look down. They always felt guilty about listening to certain things. I don't think it's us so much but definitely Limp Bizkit and shit like that. I think motherfuckers were embarrassed for that shit back then, too" - Chino Moreno of the Deftones said in a Vulture interview of the nu-metal scene the band was associated with for a while. He continued according to Loudwire - "you can't deny it. It's fucking stupidly good, some of it, but they knew back then that it was stupid. I mean, listen to the words. It's stupid. So it's not like in retrospect they're like, 'I can't believe I listened to that'. It's like, 'No, when you listened to it then, you knew it was dumb, but you liked it'. And that's okay. No one should be embarrassed by shit they like that's dumb".
