see, slipknot is not nu metal
papa roach is, linkin park is, pod is
but slipknot not, it's not cause they use a DJ that they are nu metal, cmon
slipknot is to brutal for nu metal
can you imagine nu metal fest with headliners such as linkin park and papa roach, and then slipknot??
I know the fact im a slipknot fan will make people say, dude open yourt eyes, but really, slipknot is not nu metal, nu metal is more of a pop song with allot of muted guitars, now slipknot does not sound pop and have verry few murted guitar riffs
bands like evanesence and that new thing with the crows there (dunno the name but the song goes: ive been watching, I ve been waiting in the shadows) those are nu metal

You're completely off. Genre's exist and that's fine. But having a shitload of sub-genres is kinda crazy. And as many as there are for metal, it's ridiculous. I'm just saying that there could be a few less sub-genres. That's all I was getting at. It's confusing to me.

Life metal is what they are tagging christian metal these days. Which is another classification that probably shouldn't exist. Who cares what they believe in? If they rock, they rock.

And Mudslip is scratching the surface of what I'm getting at. He's pissed off that you have labeled Slipknot nu-metal. Any popular band that has come out in recent years has been labeled nu-metal. I bet that pisses them off too.

the answer is easy, yes i can picture spiknot plaing with linkin park or papa roach, but yes slipknot is brutal, its altso nu metal...comon! "il slit your thrught and fuck the wound" how pathetic is that, i mean i dont min slipknot or nu metalers at all as long as they avoid calling themselves harcore or realise the fact that its nu metal.

and avnger... you have to split it up, take another cuple of examples then... nightwish is metal, but so is old mans child, hardest rocking bastartds i ever heard while nightwish are soft and easy going. they are both metal true... but they are altso diffrent kinds of metal. you just have to split it up.
the diffrence between some of these catagorys are as big as the diffrence between comedy and drama.

Okay, fair enough. I agree with that, but aren't some of them close enough where two catagories aren't needed? You know more about it than I do, I was just wondering.

I just think it's odd b/c other music doesn't have as many different classifications as metal.

well of course some of them are so close its hard to find a barrier, il agree with that, but catagorys are still needed.
the lines between death/black or power/epic for example are thin. but there is no way in hell you could compress the sub groups much more then that.

Fair enough. That's all I wanted to hear.

Tell me Moon, are there any popular metal bands right now (I'm talking about bands that get airplay, MTV, and so on...basically shitty ones but that's my opinion) that aren't nu-metal? Just wanted your thoughts on this.

the catagories dont bother me at all.. I do find that a lot of people that dont know too much about different types of metal get confused and says it is crazy.. and no I am not saying you dont know about all metal, avenger.. Just a lot of people that only know about stuff played on Mtv, or what they read about in hit parader or a magazing like this think that all metal is the same thing.. which is not true at all.. I mean there is so many types that it would be an encyclopedia.. Avenger I also wanted to point out a comment you made.. You said that metal is the only type of music that has more catagories.. that is because mEtAl FuCkInG RoCks!!!!! :D
\m/ \m/ <<< if anyone is wondering what this means... it is the devil horns
