Limp Bizkit have posted a photo on their socials captioned simply: “1995–2025 limpbizkit.” Comments are off, but you can see the Instagram post below. On the surface, it seems pretty definitive—but let’s not forget, these guys have a history of trolling, and this could just as easily be a stunt.
This might also be a way of marking thirty years of the band—but of course, the confusion is deliberate. It’s exactly the kind of hoax they’re known for. That said, guitarist Wes Borland has reportedly claimed their recent shows with Metallica were their last. Then again, this band has split up before. And when has a band ever really split up and stayed that way? The Beatles, The Clash, The Smiths… and that’s about it. If this is real, I’m calling it now: reunion in five years, tops.
But if this really is the end of the road for one of Nu-Metal’s most notorious acts? Then let’s celebrate. The most tuneless, grooveless band in a genre not exactly known for subtlety—armed with their inane riffs and proudly moronic lyrics—may finally be done. No more suffering through concerts as excruciating as the Paris show a couple of months back. The worst joke in music is finally over. No punchline, no grand finale, no fireworks—just a whimper. A wet fart.
Good fucking riddance, douchebags. I’m pouring out an energy drink in your dishonor.
