I wouldn't say nobody. :-p Plenty of idiots on youtube. Though I've had people on there telling me Linkin Park didn't rip-off NIN, even though their newest song shows they still are 'til this day, imo.
I'd also say their(FNM) influence reaches maybe a little further than just nu-metal. Maybe not quite inventing other genres outside of nu-metal, though I wouldn't be surprised.
I don't think they are highly underrated, I know there are tons of fans that respect them and know what they've done for music, but I just don't think they are as celebrated and credited as much as I think they should be.
Mr. Bungle was pretty cool, but I never quite got into it as much. Much, much more experimental, that's for sure. I liked Peeping Tom quite a bit. There are even talks of a new Peeping Tom album. That would be cool.
