The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
In fact, I think that's the band that my mind automatically goes to when I hear the term "nu-metal".
Me too, actually. Though, admittedly, I'm no sure exactly what the definition is. But if someone asked me to name a nu-metal band, that's where I'd go.

Slipknot for me. I feel like this niche of band (Mudvayne, System of a Down, etc). was more commonly ID'ed as nu-metal as the phenomenon unfolded in real time. The "rap-metal" thing seemed to be treated as a separate avenue of fusion, if memory serves; there was certainly still a pretty closed-minded "rap is crap" mentality running through the audiences of many of the nu-metal-ites I knew. I think time has seen a lot more bands get put under that umbrella, though I was 16-17 when that stuff was popular so my memory might not be exactly firing on all cylinders.
Like I said before, I have a hard time with sub-genres. They really seem arbitrary and strange to me. But that aside (sorry to offend, y'all --- CALM THE FUCK DOWN!), I think KoRN, Mudvayne, Slipknot, Linkin Park are all bands I think I'd throw into my "understanding" of the category. But I trust Jordan on this. If he says any of them don't fit the bill, I believe him.
