Starting off with one of the most recognizable guitar riffs thanks to the mind of Wes Borland, "Break Stuff" is an anthem for those with pent-up anger and frustration who seek a release through music. Limp Bizkit is known for being silly and not taking themselves too seriously, and while that is still the case with this track, it is also extremely relatable for anyone who feels emotions. Everyone has "one of those days" where nothing goes your way, and while we can't all go around literally breaking stuff, the next best thing is blaring this rager on full volume and pretending to cause chaos with Freddy D himself. (Or, if you're the Woodstock '99 crowd, you take the song literally and start a riot).
Released as the fourth single from Limp Bizit's second studio album, Significant Other, "Break Stuff" has remained part of the cultural zeitgeist ever since. Not to mention it has an equally iconic music video featuring the likes of fans in the infamous backwards red New York Yankees hat, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Korn's Jonathan Davis squaring up to Fred Durst. The video even won an MTV Music Video Award for the Best Rock Music Video in 2000. It remains one of the most energetic tracks that the band plays live, with fans of all ages letting loose and throwing down in the pit.
This is the first song of the Bizkit's to enter the Spotify Billions Club, but "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" is not too far behind with almost 800,000,000 streams.
