The band have been credited as an influence to the nu metal genre, with bands such as Deftones, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, Pressure 4-5 and Pleymo all having been inspired by Primus. Limp Bizkit's frontman Fred Durst, who produced a song on the Primus album "Antipop", stated in 1999 "I fucking love Primus. Spawned by pure rhythms, Primus has and always will be the most innovative and original source of groove to influence me in this decade. If you listen you will learn."
