Then and now: The most rebellious musicians of the 2000s

MUSIC Before and after

Remember the 2000s? Nu metal was all over MTV, kids were turning emo, you'd see bangs, dark clothes, and eyeliner all over the place. The turn of the millennium saw the musical landscape change dramatically and new stars were born.

Fronting these acts were artists that fueled the teenage angst of the time. Guitars were loud, fashion was bold, and their attitude appealed to both teens and young adults alike.

But life goes on and people grow up, even the most rebellious artists of the 2000s. Now, after almost two decades, we look back at what these rebels looked like back then, and what they look like today.

Click through the gallery and see how much they've changed.
