Well depends on how you define Nu-Metal.... bands like Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, and System of a Down are usually refered to as Nu-Metal, but they hardly sound anything alike. Do you consider Nu-Metal rock music mixed in with rap vocals? A bunch of random growling/screaming noises? A lack of guitar solos and possibly "talent"? I'll say this, any band that utilizes heavy sounding guitar riffs and hard hitting drum beats in alot of their songs SHOULD be considered metal despite the fact if they suck or not.
