You know I feel that nu-metal is the accidental genre that could. I mean people tend to forget exactly where rock music was when Korn crashed the gates, but their first album was pretty revolutionary. From a billion post-grunge crap emerged a band so diffrent, that connected with people so well they spawned a million instant style-theives. And thats pretty much how it became a genre in my mind. To this day there are only two real bands in nu-metal; System of a Down and Korn.

Everything else is a derivitive of those two in my opinion.

(I came back to this 20 mins later, If I have unfinished thoughts, thats why)
