well.... i disagree with some of what you guys said. now, don't dare question my metal integrity, i'm all metal. no doubt about it. anyway, nu metal serves it's purpose, which alot of metalheads tend to forget. in metal, there's always a metalhead to introduces a "non metalhead" into the realm of metal. as it was for me. and you look at all those converts, who in turn convert people, to keep a metal crowd alive. what were those people listening to before people converted them to metal? they were listening to nu-metal. i disagree with the name "nu-metal" like the rest of you, but that's it's name nonetheless. i like to call it "radio shit" myself. anyway, alot of metalheads used to listen to radio shit before they turned metal. without any radio shit at all, there'd be no one to convert, because they'd all listen to pop or rap or something even more gay like that. and we don't want any of those people in metal.
see, the way i look at is, metal is infinately better then any other genre of music, and we all know that. so what's the use of cutting down the other's or their fans? they'll never be as dedicated as us. just ignore the fuckrs.
