[[Xtreme Kool Letterz|Limp Bizkit]] is a band from from Jacksonville, Florida, responsible for being a [[Trope Codifier]] of the [[Nu-metal]] genre. They're also a definite case of [[Love It or Hate It]], as they have a rather large fanbase with 33 million albums sold worldwide, in addition to a [[Hatedom]] derived largely from [[Heavy Metal]] fandom. The band, particularly Fred Durst, act as [[Heel|Heels]] of the rock world to a certain extent, but there is actually a fair amount of [[Self-Deprecation]] in their lyrics and [[media:limp_bizkit_1195.jpg|live performances]], not to mention the heavy amount of [[Stealth Parody]] in their lyrics.

 

The relationship between Wes Borland and the rest of the band, particularly Durst, also suffered, to the point where Borland left the band to form [[Black Light Burns]], while Limp Bizkit released an album, ''Results May Vary'', without him; it was the band's worst-reviewed. Borland rejoined the band for ''The Unquestionable Truth, Part 1'', released on [[Geffen Records]], which was better received, but left the band again. Borland eventually rejoined the band, because it was decided that "We were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other." During the band's comeback, they released [[Magnum Opus|their most critically acclaimed album]], ''Gold Cobra''. As of 2012, the band recently signed with Cash Money Records.
