That genre takes a lot of flack because it is radio friendly or "mall metal".


I can see this. It's a melding of my two favorite genres of music: Metal and Rap.
Both genres are anti-establishment and I was the first generation to be entirely raise on rap. Run-DMC and Aerosmith were walking their way all over MTV.
I figured it was a great mashup. Then came "Bring the Noize" and I went crazy for that shite.

There is some undeniably great music in there.

Korn's first album was pretty good, but Life is Peachy pretty much killed my fandom

System of a Down isn't really nu metal.

Static X got lumped in with nu metal because of timing. They were more industrial.

When I think Nu Metal, I think POD, Korn, and Limp Bizkit. Those are bands I am content never hearing ever again.
