Nu-Metal
Even though the popularity of nu-metal peaked several years ago,
the debate will continue among metal fans on whether nu-metal
really is a metal genre.
First popularized in the mid-nineties by groups such as
Korn
and
Deftones,
nu-metal bands frequently feature down-tuned guitars,
vocals that frequently borrow from hip-hop or hardcore,
and song structures that appear to have originated from the
alternative hard rock scene rather than traditional metal.
