Thats the only catchy song by Korn I can think of. Korn sure lacks catchiness other than this. ACtually this song is more Funk metal though. Awesome genre by the way guys. Rare to find,b ut awesome.

What does catchiness have to do with the price of fish?

But Dead Bodies Everywhere is pretty catchy to me.

Unkown Soldier - Aren't you ashamed to cry and whine like that? If all I said was so stupid you'd easily prove it, right? But you can't. Because most of the things I said are the absolute truth.

However I thank you for collecting my wisdom and posting it

Not at all. I just find it amazing how somebody can come onto a music forum where it's fairly obvious by going through the diverse posts here, that there are some really knowledgeable people on here when it comes to music. Now surely EVEN YOU can see this. Therefore by you harping on like a delinquent teenager about how great Nu metal is and how crap other metal genres are, it's hardly going to win you any plaudits on here.

Now if you'd come on here and debated about how great Nu metal is in a sensible and intelligent manner, it would have lead to an interesting debate. Debating about how great Nu metal is would have been a challenge, but it could've have been a worthy challenge.

Well, your generalizations are useless. Trying to discredit an entire cultures opinion with a blatantly ignorant generalization is idiotic. Besides, from the way you described Vikings I should think that their opinion on the manliness of long hair would trump your own. You having never sacked an English monastery and all.

Most people I know don't know music further than mainstream pop and our folk music but so what? The smartest girl in our class has an IQ of 142 by European standards. Is she an idiot just because she listens to mainstream pop?

I'd certainly say that she's probably a musical idiot. Which is beside the point. It's not my fault that idiots have an unfair, prejudiced view of metalheads. So, your being pissed off at me for other people associating you with the rest of us is just childish.

The resulting music is usually a lot more proud of itself than it really deserves to be (lower technical skill than a lot of other metal genres, less lyrical depth and compositional profundity, etc. etc.) and unfortunately, due perhaps to the strong backlash against its founders, or perhaps to the transience of its demographic target, there's been very little exploration of it in the underground by more talented rappers and metal musicians.

your stereotyping

adolescent and adolescent-acting bands- uhh since the dawn of music teenagers and young adults are prob the people buying the most music its not like 50's & 80 year olds going out and buying the hottest new music and saying all NU metal bands act adolescent is just mad stereotyping

easily commercial-uhh during the time if u werent a pop band being in a rock band wasent your gateway to succuess because thats what NU metal at the core is ROck or heavy music they never claimed to be Metal

and just because u cant play a million notes or technical riffs really fast does not make u bad

and NU metal has been explored cept u wouldnt know it since NU metal bands now a days never considerd themselfs NU metal so they go into the studio and dont say hey lets make Nu metal musc they say here lets make some new music with no boundries and anything goes to me thats NU metal to make music with no boundries

so bassically NU metal now a days 2013 has turned into "Alternative" Music and to me Alternative could mean anything

Wait but isnt Alternative a whole different world I mean Nu metal has that influences too but to be honest they could just separate them and then people could notice the difference and also just because nu metal bands dont think they are nu metal doesnt mean they really are not nu metal it just means thats what they think?

Since the dawn of music? Really? Lots of cave-teens buying cave-vinyl back then?
