i haven’t read the other thread, but how are slipknot not nu-metal? everything about them is nu-metal. rap metal, dj/decks interlude, angry bro rage, drop tuning, angst, catchy choruses, masks… everything about them is nu-metal.

Which is also why Deftones are nu-metal.

I thought nu-metal had to have rapping in it to be nu-metal.

scooped mids and no solos.

I like them and i agree.

They started off in that category, then diverted off. The band themselves claim they were “never nu-metal” but the S/T album was a major part of the wave.

We are going to need a list for each category so we can agree with, or jeer, you.

it doesnt get much more nu metal than Chino rapping in baggy shorts in a school of teenagers with chains round their shorts

“A pair of baggy Chinos we’d say”…as it was the style at the time.

Marilyn Manson bordered on it sometimes, he’s a grey area (but overall really grunge with costumes)

Okay i should have put deftones as slipknot. I’m a disgrace that has ruined this thread for everybody. I have to live with the guilt

It’s going to be hard from now on. Waking up knowing that I should have put fuckib slipknot , deftones and other bands I’ve never actually heard a song by.

My self disgust is going to be hard to live down. I will take to heavy drinking to try to relieve the pain. Maybe in the future… someday… i can accept that it was a simple error anyone could have done and then got in with my life. But I know it’s too late for me on here… i will always be seen as the monster I am… i hope you can forgive me…
