"Three Dollar Bill Y'All had a decent success, selling 3 million copies worldwide." If you count the USA, yes, but in Europe I don't really remember the Faith video. I used to buy CDs over the phone in Rome, and the guy had to order it (I remember about five thousand lire more because it was "import"). I bought them blind because they were endorsed by John Davis; they didn't play on Videomusic. Break Stuff was definitely playing on Videomusic, and - according to wiki - the second one sold 14 million, the third 18 million. That's why I wrote "really famous (in the world)," three million isn't a small number (even though I think half of that came after the release of the other albums) but fourteen million in 2000 was a lot, and eighteen in 2001 even more, there was already WinMx if I'm not mistaken (and in the US you weren't downloading at 3kbps, it was doable to download an album). Those were like fireworks, you know.

The 80s were tough for Europeans as well, albeit in the opposite sense

I was more interested in the nighttime programming of "Polsat." I had the card with the megachip in the queue, I would watch anything on "D+". There was a show with Eva Henger: her in a slip and a couch. Stop. You would write to the editorial team to get invited, you would show up there and you’d hook up with her. The couch was auctioned off a few years ago, a certain Bartolomeo won it; he was looking for something crunchy.

<< I sacrificed the best years of my life to the '80s! >> You can hope for your children, given that you've mixed your dirty new wave blood with some excellent true Denmark metal blood. << Maybe I'm the one exaggerating. >> Maybe you didn't have the satellite dish and you watched MTV Europe. If you had the original MTV, trust me, you would have remembered Durst long before Mission Impossible. After all, if you think about it, it's not like they hand out the soundtrack of a multi-billion dollar movie to the last jerk who shows up.

Know that on youporn there are Durst's hard videos. I can't link them to you, mom set up parental control on me.

"Frankly, I don’t remember any music genre where musicians dressed worse than nu-metal artists." Of course, the 70s Funksters. Sun Ra, Funkadelic, Boney M... unspeakable things. Black people have a very different view of "dressing" compared to us whites; I know adopted black kids who dress like billboards even though they're more Italian than I am. Just look at how the hell Balotelli dresses. "emo version of head banging," That, if I remember correctly, is all Cigno Moregno's fault... poor guy, he spent the 80s listening to New Wave, the Cure, etc. You don’t come out masculine from the 80s.

"H-Blocx were probably German." Yes, I checked, they were from Munster (a nice city, if you read "Q" by Luther Blissett).

And how could we forget the Crossover version with 50% less fat they drove us crazy like the Titanic with this piece.
Voto:
Crossover comes from the album of these they were Dutch (I believe the H-Blockx were too) and the album is called (or was) Life 'N Perspective For A Genuine Crossover, late 80s.

<< So you labeled yourselves "Rap Metal" like RATM, Faith No More, and H-Blockx, then in the late 90s and early 2000s some clever person came up with the “crossover” label >> it's the opposite, Crossover was already being used when I was in elementary school, then it rightly "split" the true "cross-over" from those who threw together two shitty raps over four crappy riffs.
