When hearing the news that Limp Bizkit have broken up, your reaction will likely be like most of America’s: “Limp Bizkit were still together?” Turns out, this is the precise reason why Limp Bizkit are breaking up. It’s not creative differences, or behind-the-scenes drama, or because of drugs or sex or any of the normal dramatic reasons that cause bands once considerable as among the world’s biggest to break up. Nope: Limp Bizkit is breaking up because they know that you just don’t care that much anymore.

“We haven’t properly toured America since 2006,” bemoans singer Fred Durst to UK magazine NME. “The reason? We just don’t know what’s going on in America…It’s all about the new catchy thing and that’s always changing. America is driven by record sales. It’s the home of corporations. We’re just Limp Bizkit, so we don’t know how to do anything but Limp Bizkit.”

Durst then gets to the crux of the issue: “But here’s the deal: say in 2000, there were 35 million people who connected to this band. Twelve years later, lots of those people have moved on. We were a moment in time and it’s over.” Durst also says the he recognizes that most of his fans—the Bizkids, as they were known at the turn of the century—”have moved on.”

At least they're wise enough to realize no one cares.

Bill Corgan should read this and learn.

as much of a dick as Durst seems to have been over the years, that's about the most mature thing I've ever read from him.
