By the way you're right. System of a Down is far and away better than the other bands mentioned. Though I would not call them "Nu-Metal"

I'm not too sure I understand presactly what Nu-Metal is as there is little similarity between any of the bands cited as Nu Metal, all of whom seem to me to be better placed in other subgenres of metal. Nu Metal is another invented branding of music designed to sell a commodity to a particular demographic, neatly shrink-wrapped and pre-stamped with a parental advisory notice, and placed alongside the Slipknot T-shirts, Korn pencil cases and Limp Bizkit lunch boxes in your favourite shopping mall record store... it's the Happy Meal of Metal. 


Anyway, Slipknot are okay - not bad, not great, a little tedious at times, they were fun to see live (I do love a pantomime) but I have no compunction to repeat the experience.

I'd struggle to call them "Metal" most of the time.

I wouldn't call them Nu-Metal, either. They've always had some sort of artistic novelty to them that's made them stand out to me. The first record (and the second) are amazing IMHO. Those guys can actually write SONGS.

Hot Topic is where these trends go to die. Nu metal to me just means power chords and angsty lyrics with hip hop beats, or at least something like them, I don't know if it deserves to be a genre, but we gotta admit that there are plenty of similarities between Slipknot, Korn, Disturbed, Papa Roach, Avenged Sevenfold and so on.

Nailed it.
 
Down-tune your seven-string, and head to hot topic! Thumbs Up

Meh, down-tuned (Dropped-A) seven string is not a genre. Fear Factory, Sepultura, Steve Vai,  Dream Theater, Radiohead... the list goes on.

I don't consider System of a Down or Deftones Nu-Metal.If I had to pick a favorite I would probably say Slipknot,they have always appealed to the eternal metal head in me.

And you guys might laugh about Limp,but their ep The Unquestionable Truth Pt. 1 is very good.

Absolutely right as always. SOAD go way beyond any classification as Nu Metal.
