Personally I despise nu-metal, however I am fortunate enough to have knowledge enough that I shouldn't have a little rant about it. Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, and all the other bands that exist to sell CDs to kids just do not do it for me. What is everyone else's opinion? because try as I might I cannot find a single nu-metal song in the top 1000 of any reputable magazine.

*sigh*
I don't even consider nu metal to be anything legitimate.
There are so many bands in that genre that are so incredibly different, I don't even consider it legitimate.
I mean..
Linkin Park is in there....Along with Slipknot.
Excuse me, but do they have anything in common?
I realize that bands put into genres don't have to have a lot in common with one another, but if they're in the same category, you'd think that they'd have something in common, right?
Well, I really don't see many (if ANY) traits that Linkin Park and Slipknot share.

To me, "nu metal" is just a category full of bands that barely have anything in common with each other because they don't have a set genre.
