Nu-Metal is MTV's companion
I really can't stand Nu Metal. MTV supports a lot of Nu Metal bands. A lot of nu metal bands like the following: Korn, Linkin' Park, Godsmack, Slipknot etc.. are so basic and infantile, i.e. with the playing. In 1992, MTV banned technical metal bands that actually used shredding and technical guitar solos because of how complex the playing was and only accepted cookie-cutter bands like Godsmack etc.. It simply supports the capitalist system as well with music. You noticed how ONLY NU-Metal bands sell more than Black/Death/Speed metal bands? Compare the techniques and style, Nu-Metal is for easy listeners.

Yep Godsmack are. Slightly more hardrock tinged and less rap-like then the others but predominantly nu-metal in the end.

Slipknot don't rap and they're nu-metal. Rap like vocals are a characteristic but not all nu metal acts need them to be so. Nu-metal is mainly defined by it's sound. It's hard to explain but when you listen to Linken Park and Korn and L-Biskit they have this very similar tone to their music, and a fairly pop-like song structure.
