It's not really a slap bass. It's more of a tuned-so-low-it-actually-rattles-on-the-fretboard thing. You can really hear it in the "Freak on a Leash" chorus

Lyrics like this kind of retroactively turned me off of grunge. Who wants to be so depressed all the time?

Only the prettiest people.

That first Evanescense single was one of the first songs I ever illegally downloaded from Napster.

And I did it for a girl even!

I feel like every time Kid Rock is referenced another child is separated from its family.

Not nu-metal, but one of many songs played on modern rock radio circa 2001 alongside various nu-metal/post-grunge singles, thus perpetuating the sense that all rock music released around this time was basically the same.
