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)

im talking about structure, content and tuning - its far more alike rock than metal. of course theres influences from metal though, thats where the name comes from.

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.
