This just further confirms my accusation that you are, in fact, an idiot.

There's nothing that particularly wrong with Nu metal. Personally I really like S.O.A.D and Korn's albums Issues and Life is Peachy. I used to listen to a lot of Nu metal growing up. But now if I listen to it, a lot of it sound comical to me.

I still like some Nu Metal, whether or not that is nostalgia from my High School Years is beyond me.


Mushroomhead - Solitaire Unraveling - YouTube

I used to listen to Slipknot and Korn, but the overbearing angst just doesn't do it for me now that I'm in my twenties and everything isn't the end of the world, but Mushroomhead still does it for me. If I'm in a Nu Metal sort of mood, that's what I reach for first.

Mushroomhead is an interesting band that I too still listen from the Nu-Metal fanboy faze i had. But as a whole (and as many people have said before) the Nu-Metal fanbase only listens to Nu-Metal so they become over-protective of it.

Guys see this song?


Korn - Word Up - YouTube

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.

yall must have 2 different ideas on what NU Metal and NEW Metal are really different IMO

u could consider

The prodigy Nu metal or New metal they blurr the lines other bands like

Cradle of filth
Incubis
Dir en grey
Black light burns

also blurr the lines and back in the day was consider NU metal or has i called them "NEW" Music also Nu metal is really no different then New Rock

my point is NU metal is not limited to Down tuned guitars and slappy bass

because Sabbath down tuned there guitars and gezzer slapped his bass alot or finger pick slap whatever has well has some death metal bands of the early 90's down tuned

so after all these years i Still dont even know what NU metal really is Nu metal is just a term labels slapped on bands
