I haven't heard anyone who listens to nu-metal refer to Opeth as "pussy music". I think a lot of the kids who listened to nu-metal don't realize what they are listening to if they do happen to hear Opeth. They are told what is heavy and think the typical MTV bands are the heaviest bands, or they hear Slipknot(which doesn't get MTV play I hear) and think it's the heaviest thing in the world.
I don't try to force people to listen to Opeth or any other good music. Those people who are starting to get into metal will eventually start listening to good music. I don't think it is my job to go around introducing good bands to nu-metal kids so they can have something to show off and try to further their image. The music is there and always has been, and people will find good music if they look hard enough. The Internet has introduced me to so many great bands. If someone has an open mind, there is no limit to the music they can find that will satisfy them.
