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.
