re: NuMetal is the most egregious assault on music since it's inception.

I listen for the pure nostalgia. But I gravitate more to the bands that had a lasting effect. I mean I prefer rock/metal that does not have that hip-hop/rap influence. But some of it is good.

But it really has not aged well. No new bands are performing Nu Metal. Most are doing other things. Only Korn can get away with it.
