NU-metal, Part of metal or not? (lyrics, rap, rock, genre)

Blain · 08-05-2006, 12:00 AM

This arguement was brought up in another thread and I thought I'd make a poll on it, I personally think that it is, but it's just not a complete genre. Post your arguements

This was being covered in another thread, besides if it gets kids out to shows WHO CARES!!!

It's like kids listening to Green Day, in a year they will be listening to Bad Religion and TSOL

You know...coming from you that says alot. And, i'm not sure, nu-metal is used way loosely. I mean, some bands i've heard are just hard rock others are just rap rock.

I don't like it at all, but yes, it is metal.

Yes it is

Just because it`s sh*t doesn`t mean you can disown it

I dont like nu-metal.... and i dont like metal either,

but the two are not the same. Nu-metal has characteristics of rock, and NONE of the characteristics of metal. and rapping/djing has is only a random influence and has nothing to do with it... rap-rock is something completely different, nu-metal is defined by low tuning, simple songs/riffs and teen angsty lyrics.

but everyone has different ideas fo where genre boundaries lie.

and im not going to vote, cause although its not part of metal, im not saying that because its crap.
