I think it’s fairly safe to say that for a point in the early 00s Fred Durst was one of the most recognisable faces on the planet and this notoriety has followed him around wherever he’s been for the past 20 years, so when he debuts a new look like the one below where he kinda looks like a drunk redneck country singer playing in a corner bar on a Sunday afternoon in Arkansas, then people are going to talk.

Wow. Didn’t see that one coming, did you? People are speculating that Durst felt the need to do something ridiculous after HBO’s documentary about the disaster that was Woodstock 99 – in which he comes across kinda badly – premiered last Friday.
Durst deleted every single post on his Instagram and replaced it with the photo above, which kinda makes you think that he wanted to make some kind of statement/get people talking. Maybe in 2021 offering yourself up to be memed is the way to make amends for how you acted twenty years ago when your stupid band unexpectedly became the biggest music act on the planet? The internet certainly obliged:
Making jokes to his guy friends like, “Your Bizkit would be Limp too, if you were married to *my* wife.”

Yeowch let him have it hey guys? I think Durst knew what he was doing though and it’s totally worked so maybe he’s the winner here? Hard to tell.
For more of the same, check out when Fred Durst directed John Travolta in a movie about a stalker. When the hell did that happen?
