Ah, are you talking about nu-metal? That has mostly died out, I agree. Recently I was in a discussion about why nu-metal ended as abruptly as it begun. It appears this type of music was associated with violence/anger and some felt bordered on misogynistic / homophobic. As a female who is anti-war, I never felt that. But I never considered any of the bands I listened to as nu-metal. People who listened to metal would laugh in my face at my music. I still won’t describe LP as ever being nu-metal. It’s just experimental rock music using subgenres to differentiate and express various styles. If anything, most bands I listened to brought issues like mental health and loneliness to the forefront and were inclusive of everyone. The alternative was pop music or rap which sung about love/break-up or sex. Indie was pretty much the only other genre I listened to as grunge was pretty much over by then. I don’t think nu-metal was ever really a thing. It was such a blanket label that people would put bands like Korn and LP in the same list. What was really happening was experimental rock. I’m only deflated that LP walked away from rock for electronic/pop sounds from time to time. This never worked anywhere near as good as HT and M. It just wasn’t unique or memorable, and Chester was made for rock music. To me, they underutilised his talent and potential. Anyway, I’ve gone off topic now 
BMTH attitude can be a little poor at times. They used to drink insanely and it affected their live performances and writing. I think they have improved somewhat now they’ve grown up. Oli still doesn’t sing very well live. Anyway, I like to support British bands especially because they’re trying to keep this music genre alive. I really don’t know Mudvayne at all 
I’d say Breaking Benjamin is one of the big bands that still has recent music. Ember was the most recent album. I think you may like Aurora which is a compilation of their best songs, with one new. They also feature songs with RED and Adam Gontier (TDG). I don’t see how you can’t like this album? 
Maybe the slight religious undertones don’t appeal to some.
My Playlist: Bowling For Soup (another old punk band if you remember)? They have some good new songs: Erase Me, Catalyst, and sound exactly the same! Three Days Grace: Strange Days (the song of 2020!). Evanescence (finally a new album)! Blink 182 is still on my playlist because they always cheer me up (Kings of the Weekend!) 
Northlane (I posted the song Bloodline). Blue October (nice cover songs lately). Fall Out Boy: Lake Effect Kid, Bob Dylan.
Staind great band and voice! What about Evans Blue? Happy birthday if I missed this! 
Was that your birthday biscuit/cake?
