Live performances

The song was noted for a performance at Woodstock '99 in which violent actions occurred. When the song played, Fred Durst encouraged the crowd to become rowdy, stating, "Don't let anybody get hurt. But I don't think you should mellow out. That's what Alanis Morissette had you motherfuckers do. If someone falls, pick 'em up." In the mosh pit, fans tore plywood on the walls when the song played and numerous sexual assaults were reported to have occurred.[3][4][5][6][7] During the band's 2001 appearance at the Big Day Out festival in Sydney, Australia, teenager Jessica Michalik was crushed by the unruly crowd near the front of the stage before dying from her injuries.[8]

Awards and legacy

The video for the song won the MTV Video Music Award for The Best Rock Video in 2000.[9]

In 2022, Louder Sound and Kerrang each named "Break Stuff" as Limp Bizkit's greatest song.[10][11]
